Brazil Offered
TopU.S.Credii
By the Associated Press

The United States has Of
fered Brazil an immediate
credit Of up to 500 million t.
tide that nation over a pressing
dollar shortage.
Well-informed sources here
said the offer was made or
the instructions Of President
Kennedy shortly after Brazil
ian President Janio Quadros
took office January 81.
So far. Mr.. Quadros has moi
said he would need the assist
ance. the sources indicated.
The United States offer pre-
sumably would be an entirely
new credit. aimed at providing
the Quadros administration q
margin on which to operate
while it brings Brazil's finan-
cial house into order.
The outgoing administration
Of President Juscelino Kubit-
schek is said to have committed
most Of the revenues which the
new administration could ex-
pect In its first months in Of
flee.
President QuadroS has ord
cred his finance minister. Gle
mente Mariani, to make a de-
tailed study Of the nations
financial situation. The gov
ernment then could decided
what steps 1t should take.
Some fears have been ex-
pressed that In the meantime
Brazil might run entirely out
q cash and have to default
on obligations coming due.
Sources here said Brazil's
current balance Of payment
Deficit Is estimated at the
equivalent Of s34O million.
They said this is due in part
to Brazils heavy repayment
schedule on past obligations.
Most Of these payments are due
to West European and inter-
national credit institutions,
rather than to the United
States itself.

and see what should be done.
Mr.. Kowalski said that with
a new administration and a
new Secretary Of Defense. he
was hopeful something might
be done to stem the practice
which has seen military men
filling jobs which had always
been filled by civilians.
The Connecticut legislator
said these practices are not
only costly to the American
taxpayer and harmful to the
defense programs, but disrup-
tive to the career civilian serv-
ice in the Pentagon.
The situation involves active
military personnel as well as
retired reserve military officers
who are rehired for civilian
jobs.
In this vein, AFGE employe
leaders the other day strongly
protested q letter sent by
Army's Ordnance Office tt
military personnel apparently
encouraging them to apply fol
key civilian jobs when they re-
tire.
Following the protest, the
Ordnance Office rescined the
letter and said it would issue
a supplemental one clarifying
its intent. Ordnance denied
that the intent Of the letter
was especially intended tc
secure top civilian jobs for re.
tired reserve military person
mel and said 1t was intended
to set up certain procedures
for civilian jobs.
The original letter told mill.
tary personnel approaching re.
tirement age that many Of then
will be admirably qualified tt
be retained as civilian employees
