Mr.. Kennedy's objective was
said to go beyond the propa-

were shocked by Russia's re-

described as hopeful that a
three-power pledge could lead
to a global agreement outlawing

Brazilian Leftist
Gets Presidency
As Figureheud

BRASILIA, Brazil, Sept.
(AP).-The threat of civil wal
in Brazil appeared ended to-
day as the nations three mill
tary chiefs dropped their oppo-
sition to leftist Joao Goulart
and agreed to let him become
a figurehead President.
The 42-year-old Vice Presi-
dent, whose leftist leanings led
the military to denounce him
as a security risk, indicated he
would go along with the con-
stitutional amendment ap-
proved by Congress that sets
up a parliamentary system and
vests the real power in a pre-
mier.
Congress devised the COM
promise to appease War Min
lister Odylio Denys and his fell
low service chiefs who opposed
giving Mr.. Goulart full presi-
dental powers.
Crisis Is Eased
Mr.. Goulart is slated to leave
his southern stronghold of
Porto Allegro tomorrow and fly
to Brasilia for the Inaugural
ton. Congress is leaving the
time and date of the ceremony
up to him.
A terse announcement from
the presidential palace saying
the service chiefs had recon-
mended that all commands re-
spectNthe constitutional amend
ment appeared to ease the
crisis.
At the same time navy head
quarters in Rio de Janeiro or
dered federal forces in the
southern coastal state of Santa
Catarina to pull back to avoid
a clash with pro-Goulart forces.
Airlines offices in Rio said
flights would resume today to
Brasilia. The airport has been
shutdown over the tense week
end with oil drums blocking
the runway in an apparent at
tempt to keep Mr.. Goulart from
landing.
No Rehabilitation
There was no sign of demobi-
lization, however, by the mill
tary which has kept close watch
over political developments
since Janio Quadros quit as
President August rs touching
off the crisis.
News that the deadlock be-
tween Congress and the mill
tary had been broken touched
off a scramble for the key
runners in the race are:
l. Francisco Santiago Dan
tas, a member of Mr.. Goulart's
Labor Party whom Mr.. QuadroS
named Brazil'S chief delegate
to the United Nations to take
over when the General Assem-
bly, opens September 10.
2. Gov. Juracy Magazines of
the oil-rich state of Bahia, a
conservative who has the re-
spect of many political fac
lions.
3. Ernani Amaral Peixoto of
the Social Democrats, former
ambassador to Washington.
4. Social De ocrat Auro
Moura Andrade, president of
the senate.
5. Tancredo Neves, also a
Social Democrat, who is cred
tied with winning agreement
from the military leaders.
The premier will be chosen
by Congress in which the con-
sentative Social Democrats
make up the biggest single
party.

Snap Records
Holiday in Rockies
Ruined by Storm

DENVER, Sept. 4 (AP).-
Snow and cold, swapping all
kinds of records, ruined the
Labor Day weekend in the
Rockies for campers, fisher
men, golfers, boaters and others
who revel under sunny skies.
The storm, Sloshing four
inches of wet, fast-melting
snow on Denver, stranded
briefly thousands of travellers
in mountain areas where the
snowfall measured up to two
feet. There were no reports of
severe hardships.
Lolevand Pass, the U. S. 6
route which crosses the Con-
tinental Divide at 1892 feet
west of Denver, was blocked
for a short time. Trail Ridge
road. another divide crossing in
Northern Colorado, was also
closed.
Rain Washes Snow Away
The early storm slowed hun
dreds of tourists hurrying home
from late summer vacations in
the west.
The same storm. sweeping
across Montana late Friday,
was blamed for the disappear
ance of a light plane carrying
three men. Searchers said hope
was waning for their survival
through tire nights of frigid
weather.
Denver weather records fell
almost as furiously as the snow
flakes. The snow was the
earliest recorded at the Colo
RADIO Capital since the Weather
Bureau began keeping track in
1872. The average date for the
first snow is October 7. The 49,
degree minimum yesterday
morning was a record low for
the date. The high of as degrees
was the lowest maximum for
the date.
Slows Tourists
Clearing weather was fore
cast today with Denver's high
expected to approach so to IS.
A light rain after the snow,
washed away all traces of the
snow in Denver late yesterday.
Hotels and motels in noun
tain areas were overcrowded
Saturday night by motorists
who elected to spend the night
in complete safety rather than
travel on the snow-slickened
highways.
The wet belt in the Rockies
extended into the Southern and
Central Plains and northeast
ward through the Middle Miss
issippi Valley and into the lower
Great Lakes Region, with heavy
rainfall in the Plains. There
also were showers in the North
Atlantic Coast States and in
sections of the Gulf States.

Soviet COMPROMISE

The Soviet Unions proposal for
bridging the gap in the United Nations
Secretariat resulting from the death of
Dag Hammarskjold backs away from
MoScow'S earlier demand for a veto in
the administrative staff. To this extent
it can be called compromise. But it is
not much of a compromise since the
original Russian troika plan, under
which the West, the Communist bloc
and the neutralS would each have had
veto had virtually no chance of being
adopted anyhow.
This new proposal calls for the Selec-
ton of someone well known" in U. N.
circles to serve until April, 1868, as pro
staff. HE must" the Russians say,
maintain daily cooperation with his
deputies and the deputies with him, and
must seek to achieve mutual agreement
with them on the major questions of the
work of the Secretariat." One Of the
deputies, Of course, would be a Com
munist representative.
In a statement opposing this plan,
Adlai Stevenson said its adoption would
seriously undermine the integrity of the
Secretariat." And it might do more. Even
without veto, the requirement for con-
sultation, plus the stipulation that
mutual agreement must be sought, could
very well paralyze the administrative
staff. In practical effect, it could undo
the progress which has been made in
developing the U. N. as an effective
agency, and revive the original concept
of an organization which could function
in major matters only when all of the
great powers are in agreement as to
what action should be taken. Refined a
bit further, this would mean that the
U. N. could act only if, when and how
the Russians wanted it to act.
This plan, despite its obvious ad-
verse effect on the interests of small
countries, has attracted considerable
support among the Afro-ASian nations.
Even so, the votes necessary to prevent
its adoption probably can be mustered.
1t can be vetoed in the Security Council
and two-thirds vote in favor would
be required in the General Assembly.
The question is whether, If this
compromise" is defeated, any better
plan can obtain the needed support. This
is at least doubtful, and thus the
prospect grows that the U. NJ, If it is not
to become an instrument of Soviet policy,
may very we'll be facing future in which
its usefulness as factor in the main
tenance of peace will diminish or even
disappear.

national outlaws out of the United
Nations, this is an undertaking which
we should pursue to the bitter end.
Eventually, of course, the Red Chinese
may be voted in. But on the basis of
their past performance it is hard to
think of anything that could do more
to undermine and stultify the U. N.
Of greater interest than Chou'S
words on the anniversary occasion,
however, were some facts which oratory
could not conceal. One was the absence
for the second successive year of any
ranking Soviet representatives Mr..
KhruShchev was content to send tele-
gram of congratulations Another was
the grim evidence that communiSm'S
great leap forward in China has fallen
on its face. Although millions of workers
have been diverted from industry to
agriculture, food rations for the Chinese
have fallen to the bare subsistence
level. The fruits of the grand plans so
expanSively announced have been nil,
and the national mood is one of apathy
and suffering. In this situation it is
hardly surprising that Chou En-lai
should be Softening his harsh attacks
on the United States. But this is no
reason why we should nelp bail him out.

Education of q President?

In his long service in Congress,
John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts no
doubt discovered that it is relatively
easy for holder of public office to
please lot of people a lot of the time,
but virtually impossible to please all of
them all of the time. For President of
the United States, there is no basic
change in this formula for popularity,
or lack Of it, except that the standards
of accountability are apt to be more de-
handing and perhaps more quixotic.
Currently, President Kennedy and
his governing Democratic Party are
being clinically examined and re-
examined by friends, foes and neutrals
in the light of the performance of the
first session of the 87th Congress. Not
surprisingly, the yardsticks for these
civilizations differ and the same record
that fares we'll by one measurement
suffers by another. Party analysts as
such have done what comes naturally
the Democratic spokesman hailing the
session as highly constructive while
their Republican opposite numbers tut
tut the whole record as one of little
accomplishment or worse.
More fascinating, if not puzzling,
are the widely different conclusions
reached by such organizations, often
more or less in agreement as the Amer
leans for Democratic Action and the
AFL-CIO. The ADA, a strong supporter
of Mr.. Kennedy in last years campaign,
not only is recoiling in horror at the
congressional record; it is putting the
blame right on the President himself
for failing to exercise leadership. In
what is perhaps "the most unkindeSt
cut of all,' it is charging that the key
"to the door of the new frontier" has
never been found. Presumably, it was
Mr.. Kennedy who lost it. BY contrast,
the AFL-CIO, looking at the same
legislative record, interprets it as sue
ceSSful and speaks unequivocally of
strong White House leadership" as the
responsible force.
If differences of opinion have a
bearing on horse races, the same holds
true of politics. BY and large, Mr..
Kennedy has. presented public image
of generally relaxed young man with
an attractive sense of humor No doubt
he will invoke these qualities while
evaluating the evaluations of his critics,

Red China 'Rejoices'

Peiping's celebration" this past
week end of the twelfth anniversary of
Communist rule in China was a rather
drab and Somber affair
Premier Chou En-lai spoke in some
what softer terms than he is accus-
toned to use. The Chinese people, he
said, want to live together with the
United States, while, at the same time,
he deplored our policy of hostility" to
the Communist regime. Despite the
fact that the Chinese people, he said,
: have been consistently devoted to the
defense of world peace" Washington is

the seating of Communist China in the
U. N.
There is no point in debating the
issue of Communist China's devotion to

score one need only examine the record

persistent threats to take FormoSa by

Visitor From Khortoum

One of the strong men on Africa's
busy political stage, President Ibrahim
Ahboud of The Sudan, arrives here
tomorrow to begin an eleven-day visit
to the United States.
A soldier by profession, General
Abboud was commanding the Sudanese
army when he took over the Khartoum
government in military coup in late
1858. For nearly three years prior to
that action, a parliamentary govern
ment had been functioning in the newly
independent country but multiplicity
of political parties and factional rivalrieS
had impeded its effectiveness. After
taking over the central authority, and
the titles of President and Premier,
General Abboud gradually has restored
to provincial councils an increasing
measure of their traditional political
Influence. In seeking to develop
fpurely sudaneSe" political system, the.
Abboud government is planning next
that the provincial councils should elect
National Advisory Council as a re-
placement for the suspended parliament.
In foreign policy, the Abboud ad-
mtniStration belongs to the camp of
''positive neutralism" In it's application
of this philosophy, it has been con-
siStent supporter of the United Nations.
The Sudan was the sponsor of the U. N.
resolution which helped resolve the
Lebanese crisis in 1858 and has con-
tributed troops to the U. N. force in the
Congo 1t denied transit rights for ship
ment of Soviet materiel to the Congo in
the early months of that crisis.
Predominantly Arab, but with a
large black population in the south, The
Sudan actually bridges the Middle East
and the heart of the African continent.
With internal stability and an active
interest in maintaining the strength of
the u. N, it has an opportunity to make
a worthwhile contribution to peace and
order in it's part of the world.

The Cure: More Dollars

In launching the 1861 United GiverS
Fund campaign, Chairman Donald S.
B1ttlnger stated the case Succinctly for
this years higher-t han-ever target of
$7.8 million. There is baSically," he said,
: "but one cure" for the troubles which
beSet many of the 148 health, welfare
and recreational agencies of the UGF:
more dollars" These agencies have
been short-changed, year after year, as
the campaigns have failed to reach
minimum goals. This year the campaign
organization is determined to collect the
dollars needed to provide adequate care,
aid and other services to all who merit
them. The task is challenging, but it
can be done.
The 1861 goal is 100000 more than
was raised by the UGF last year, when
the target was only $7.2 million. But
the volunteers who have enlisted for the
drive have expressed confidence that
they can raise the additional money by
more intensive efforts to recruit new
contributors and obtain larger donations
from old subscribers. The major burden
will fall on the Government, Major
Firms and Advance Gifts Units-aIl
well organized and ready to go. The
District, Maryland and Virginia units,
however, are also important, despite
their smaller quotas, for their returns
can make the difference between victory
and failure.
But the campaigners can not per-
form miracles. They will need the
generous support of the whole COM
munity to make this years drive the
success which the UGF cause merits.
