Strange, Shot-|ess Coup
OF 34Men Ties Up BroziI

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil,
Feb. % fP.--One of the worlds
strangest rebeliions is under way
in Brazil.
Four air force officers and 80
men have seized the city of
Santarem, cutting all air and
river traffic through the Amazon
valley. Not shot has been fired.
No one is sure why the men
are in revolt. The government
angrily denies the revolt leader
is short in his accounts.
No other disorders have been
reported over the country.
Fifteen army and air force
generals signed an appeal today
urging the rebel leaders to sur
render, promising they would be
allowed to go into exile instead
of being tried and imprisoned.
President Juscelino Kubit-
schek denied reports that he
was sending emissaries to ne
gotiate with the rebels. He said
he is ready to move against them
with decision and energy"
The capital is full of rumors,
however. because the govern
ment has not yet taken any &C
ltion.

ter of some $4,000 persons $500
