RIO DE JANIERO, R-Presi- dent Eisenhower grinned and waved his way through hero's welcome today in Rio De Janiero. He rode triumphantly through a storm of confetti and streamers amid the greatest crowds ever gathered to greet a visitor in this metropolis of Brazil.
 Later, in the first major speech of his South American tour, the President sounded a "hands off" warning to any theology threat ening to deny American nations the free choice of philosophy, working methods and government.
 "We would consider it inter- vention in the internal affairs of an American state if any power, whether by invasion, coercion or subversion, succeeded in denying freedom of choice to the people of any of our sister republics" he told Brazil's congress.
 Coupled with that declaration, which appeared aimed at Com munist ambitions in the Western hemisphere, was call for cease less striving for world peace.
 Eisenhower reiterated that the United States stands ready to put money saved by disarmament into fast constructive programs of peaceful development" He urged other nations to join in this effort.
 Flying here from Brasilia, Ei- senhower found hundreds of thou sands turned out in bright bu. humid 80-degree weather. It is summer here below the equator.

Titan Finally Flies Right

CAPE CANAVERAL, R = An intercontinental range Titan mis- sile was successfully launched on its longest range test flight today.
 The test was a critical one for the troubled Titan and it passed perfectly, boosting dummy war head nearly 5000 miles to an ocean target.
 The success should take some of the pressure off the Titan, which has flown perfectly only once before in the past 10 months. Congressional committees are looking into failures which have plagued the program.
 The 98 foot Titan thundered off to good start. Driven by the 100000 pounds of thrust gener- ated by it's first stage engines, the missile rose smoothly from its pad and cut fiery path across the sky. Two minutes later, the mis- sile's huge second stage ignited with puff of fire visible to ground observers.
 The Titan eventually will have range up to 5000 miles but to- days missile was not fully fueled.
 This was the second time the ,000-pound thrust second stage has been ignited at altitude The first time was Feb. 2, when the Martin-made Titan scored it's first success since last May.

 There were repeated choruses of Eisenhower, Eisenhower" Some also shouted "Ikey, Ikey," givng two syllables to the Presi- dents nickname.
 Eisenhower sat on the back of the car seat and acknowledged the greetings by holding both hands above his head. Brazilian President Juscelino Kubitschek rode beaming beside him.
 At one point student groups leaned from windows to shout "Fidel" in honor of their hero, Fidel Castro of Cuba. The crowd on the sidewalk booed, and Eisen- hover smiled.
 q come here as the representa- tive of 180 million citizens of the United States" Eisenhower said in welcoming ceremonies. "They share with me this fervent wish:
 "That war and all forms of CO., ercion be forever banished from the earth; that leaders of all na- tions harken to the prayers of their people for peace with jus tice-for a peace founded on mu- tual respect, understanding and collaboration, a peace in which the race of armaments will give way to constructive cooperative attack against disease, ignorance and poverty, peace which makes neighborliness such as that en. joyed by our two countries the reality throughout the world"
 President Kubitschek said Rio receives the American visitor with exceptional jubilation as Ca fighter and man of good will; as a clear-viewed statesman and champion of peace"

Missile Builder
 Quits Job So He Can Criticize Ike

NEW YORK, R = Thomas G. Lanphier Jr., says he's quitting as an executive of the company that produces the Atlas missile so he can freely criticize what he con- siders the inadequate defense pol icies of President Eisenhower.
 Lanphier charged on televi- sion program that the President is not as well informed about mod ern weapons as he thinks he is.
 "It's question of getting out and keeping up with the fast-developing technology, some thing the President has not done until he recently made a quick trip to Canaveral, said Lanphier.
 The World War II flying ace announced his resignation as vice president of the Convair Division of General Dynamics Corp, which makes the Atlas, Americas only operation intercontinental ballis- tic missile.
 Lamphier, a Republican, served as special assistant to Sen Stew art Symington O-MO in 1949-50, when Symington was Secretary of the Air Force.
 He said: q don't think the President is quite the professional modern military expert that he says he is, and that his people right around him feel he is. He's not quite as well informed as he thinks he is in terms of modern weaponry"
 By resigning, Lanphier said he feels he will be free "to criticize my president and my administra- tion where think they are wrong in a field where I have some ex- perience and certainly some con- viction."
 He said he thinks President Eisenhower is taking a chance" with the nations survival.
