If President and Mrs. Eli
senhower were average citi-
zenS planning a pleasure trip
for February, they could
hardly choose a better spot to
visit than South America.
When the couple leaves
late next month for a Today
state tour of Brazil, Argen-
tina, Chile and Uruguay, they
will be escaping from Wash
ington's dreariest season to
a world of sunshine and
spectacular beauty.
They will be going from
midwinter to midsummer,
And, while a state visit allows
little time for leiSurely look
ing about, they will see
they can't avoid Seeing-Some
magnificent sights as they
race along.
First stop on the tour will
be Rio de Janeiro, present
capital of Brazil, which the
Eisenhowers visited once be-
fore when he was Army Chief
Of Staff.
It's a city Of white build
ings, mosaic walks, brilliant
blue water and purple noun
tains, of gaiety and sophisti-
cation. It's famous the world
over for its Copacabana
Beach, Corcovado (Hunch-
back Mountain) crowned
with the figure of Christ the
Redeemer, and Sugar Loaf
Mountain.
The couple will arrive in
Rio on the 23d and leave on
the 26th, Just a couple of
days before the start of the
annual three day pre-lenten
carnival - Brazil's extrava-
CANT version of Madri Gras.
They'll miss the fireworks,
the parades, the dancing in
the streets, but they'll prob
ably get a taste of the
advance excitement.
The EiSenhoWers will have
a good view of Corcovado
from the American Embassy
the residence) there, which
is situated on Rua de San
Clemente, almost at the foot
Of the mountain. Down this
street a piece is the famous
Jockey Club.
They'll doubtless dine at
Palacio Itamaraty, once a
private residence, then the
first seat of the government
Of the republic and now the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
State dinners are customarily

held in a beautiful building,
part of the palace, which
opens onto an artificial lake
lighted by night and sur
rounded by palm trees.
The Brazil visit also will
include tours of Brasilia, the
new capital of Brazil (as of
April 2D $50 air miles from
Rio. and Sac Paulo, the
country's great industrial
city.
On to "B. A."
Next stop: BuenoS Aires,
capital of Argentina.
"B. A." as a tourists guide
book would tell you, is a
modern city inhabited by
cosmopolites. 1t keeps pace
with New York, Paris and
London. It's normally not
crowded in February be-
cause about 40 per cent of
the population has left town
for the sea and the noun
tainS, according to an en-
bassy official heTe.
But many of the residents
will probably flock back for
the Eisenhowers' visit-cer-
tainly all top officials will.
President and Mrs. Eisen-
hover will see among other
sights" the Pink House. or
Casa Rosada, the Office
of the Argentine President
and the traditional scene of
state entertaining; the Hall
of Congress Che'll probably
address the legislators, and
the tomb of Gen. San Mar
tin in the Cathedral on Plaza
de Mayo dts customary for
visiting dignitaries to lay a
wreath here).
A spot tourists are always
urged to take in is Palermo
Park, which is huge, almost
as big as Central Park in
New York, and beautiful. 1t
contains a race course, a
celebrated rose garden and
miles and miles of walks,
drives and paths.
Can't Miss 1t
The American Embassy in
B. A. faces a section of this
lovely park (the square is
marked by a statue of George
Washington) so the Eisen-
howers can't miss it. And
the municipal ZOO is just a
block away-if the wind
blows right, they'll hear the
lions roar.
The Eisenhowers also will
travel along what is said to
be the widest avenue in the

Ruling Asked
On Dues of

A Federal court was asked
yesterday to rule that any
reamsters Union member whose
dues are paid by check-of is
eligible to vote or be a candi-
date in union local elections.
The request was made to
Federal District Judge F. Dick
inson Let's by a board Of mon
itors he established to SUPER
wise operation of the is million
member union under the presi-
dency of James r. Hoffa. The
board also asked Judge Let's to
delay an election by a Teamster
local in Hoboken N. j.
The monitors said it felt that
"once a member Is working un-
der a checkoff agreement the
deduction Of dues from his pay
and remission to the local union
are solely the responsibility OF
the employer In no case
arising under this situation may
a local union complain that an
employe on checkof has not
properly remitted his dues"
In asking the court for the
delay of the election scheduled
for January IS by Local $50 at
Hoboken. the board cited eligi-
bility questions as well as other
matters.

day to patch up their economic

House Republicans face a
possibly disruptive struggle
within party ranks in choosing
a congressional campaign COM
mittee chairman to succeed the
late Representative Richard M
Simpson.
One of Mr.. Simpsons last
official acts before his death
last Friday was to designate
Representative McCulloch OF
Ohio as temporary chairman
Of the 35-member group that
helps financially and politically
to elect Republicans to the
House.
Authoritative sources said
yesterday Mr.. McCulloch is
likely to encounter opposition
when the committee meets tc
elect a chairman. A behind
the-scenes contest already has
stirred some Of the intra-party
bitterness that flared a yeaJ
ago when former Speaker Mar
tin was deposed as House Re-
publican leader by Representa-
tive Halleck of Indiana.
Backed by Martin Camp
Mr.. McCulloch is known to
have the support of influential
House Republicans close to Mr.
Martin. Mr.. Halleck has not
declared in favor Of anyone
for chairman. But at least. two
members generally listed in the
Halleck camp were mentioned
informally yesterday as posi-
BILE opponents of Mr.. McCul-
loch. They are Representatives
Springer Of Illinois and Oster-
tag of New York.
The committee is in no
hurry to meet for a showdown.
Backers Of Mr.. McCulloch be-
lieve he still has the best
chance Of being chosen chair
man.
The committee consists of
members selected by each Re-
publican State delegation in
the House. Its members elect
their own chairman, and each
member casts the number of
votes in his State delegation.
Mr.. McCulloch's supporte rs
predict he will receive enough
votes from big States such as
Ohio to assure his election.
Case for McCulIOch
The fact that Mr.. McCul-
loch is senior in service
among the committees six
regional vice chairmen does
not guarantee he will stay or
as chairman. But his hackers
cite his experience as the COM
mittee's legal adviser, his top
ranking Republican position

quaintance with Republican
