DATELINE BRASlLlA
2-Yeor-OId Capital
Lacks q Soul

BRASILIA, Brazil, April 81
(AP).-Brasilia, celebrating to-
day its second anniversary, is
still abuilding. It takes a bit of
pioneering spirit to put roots
down here.
The city is dusty during dry
spells and muddy in the rainy
season. 1t is still predominantly
ly masculine-an unlikely place
for a girl used to the romance
Of seaside Rio de Janeiro.
Flowers, domestic help and
a thousand other things ac-
cepted as commonplace in other
cities are often lacking.
Brasilia has many aspects of
a frontier town despite careful
planning and the spending of
50 billion.
Housing Scarce
Cleaning glass, marble, con-
crete and steel make it one of
the worlds most modern cities
but some critics say it lacks
a soul.
About 10000 live in the city
proper and 10000 on farms
and in satellite areas in a fed
eral district. The surge of pop
ulation has brought a housing
problem; thousands live in
shackS.
The cost of living is higher
than in any other city in Bra
zil, but the wages are generally
higher too.
The city is mainly supplied
by truck from the industria,
center of Sac Paulo and agricul.
ture centers Of Minas Gerai,
State. Its meat, milk and rice

that Franklin was the United

What are you calling your

Mr.. Mikoyan said he was
thinking of France where there
had first been a revolution and
then a "counter-revolution."

Pope Is Able
To Quit Bed

VATICAN CITY. Nov. 80
(AP) Pope John XIII is
making a good recovery. with
medical treatment obtaining

battle against anemia. a Vat
lean communique said today.
The 8l-year-oid Pontiff got
out of his sick bed briefly again

himself with some problems
regarding the government Of
the church, giving the relative
dispositions the statement
added.
1t was the second time he had
been able to get UP since he was
stricken Tuesday.
Vatican sources said the
Pope's doctor was concerned,
however, that he was rushing
things in his determination to
get back to work.
"As soon as he feels a bit
better, he wants to get out Of
bed" DR.. Antonio Gasbarrini
was quoted as saying. ut is diff

The Vatican communique,
issued in the early afternoon
said:
The condition of the Holy
Father is improving. The pre-

treatment is obtaining the
hoped for results. The august
Pontiff got up yesterday after

This cooperation from Mr.
Spaak has greatly heartened
U. N. officials. 1t is called a
turning point" in the long
Congo crisis.
If Mr.. Tshombe orders his
army into action to block the
U. N. or take revenge on the
mining company, new fighting
would be virtually certain to
ensue. The United States, fully
backing Mr.. Thant, is readying
an airlift and other important
logistic help.
The U. N. also is mobilizing
jet fighters, transport planes,
antiaircraft guns and infantry,
sources say.
1t is hoped that economic
sanctions, involving a long and
difficult process Of attrition,
will prove unnecessary. One
U. N. source predicted yester-
day that Mr.. Tshombe will
cave in" before the end Of next
week.
There is a possibility, how
ever, that another of the meas
ures to be taken will be a block

The Kennedy decision to at

Mikoyan Talks
Still Snagged
U. S., Russia
Fail to End
Cuba Crisis
By the Associated Press

The United States and Rus
STA were reported today to have
run into serious difficulty in
efforts to work out terms for
a final settlement of the Cuban
crisis.
President Kennedy and So
Wet Deputy Prime Minister
Aanastas I. Mikoyan discussed
these differences in the course
Of a 314-hour conference at the
White House last night but
were able to agree only that
negotiations on settlement
terms should be continued by
their representatives at the
United Nations.
Mr.. Mikoyan met with Sec
rotary of State Rusk at the
State Department today in
what Mr.. Rusk designated as q
working lunch" Mr.. Mikoyan
is on a two-day visit to Wash
ington following a 24-day, trou-
ble-shooting trip to Cuba. He
will fly on to Moscow tomorrow
morning.
Disappointment Expressed
United States officials said
Mr.. Rusk and Mr.. Mikoyan
were debating essentially the
same issues that focused dis
cussion at the White House
last night. Officials privately
expressed disappointment that
the White House talks had
failed to turn up any con-
crete evidence Of broad-scale
Soviet policy charges aimed at
improving relations between
Washington and Moscow in
the wake Of the Cuban conflict.
State Department Press Off
Ger Lincoln White told news
men in advance Of the lunch
con that "the subject matter
will be primarily Cuba-they
may get into other matters. "
The differences over Cuba
apparently arise from an effort
by Mr.. Mikoyan, presumably
rejecting instructions from
Premier Khrushchev. to get Mr..
Kennedy to give Russia now a
clean bill of health and a firm
no-invasion pledge. In essence,
Mr.. Mikoyan wants to treat
the matter as finished. 1t was
indicated, even though Soviet
jet bombers and thousands Of
troops are still to be removed
and there has been no United
Nations inspection, as Mr..
Khrushchev originally prom
ised.

Americans gathered in great
and expensive effort last night
to bring culture to the banks
of the Potomac.
They paid 500 a seat to fill
the ballroom at New York's
Americana Hotel and $50 to be
with Gen. and Mrs. Dwight D.
Eisenhower at the Augusta
(Ga9 Country Club.
They paid up to IS to watch
"An American Pageant of
the Arts" at Loew's Capitol
Theater and as little as 81 to sit
on bleachers in Georgetown
University's McDonough Me-

Nearly 10000 persons saw the
Nationwide cloSed-circuit tele-
cast at nine locations in the
Washington area. National Cul-
tural Center officials estimated
a total of some 10000 gathered
at 80 locations in go cities to
begin the Nationwide drive for
$50 million to build a cultural
center in Washington.
Another 100000 persons, it
was estimated, watched the
show in some 10000 homes in
this country and Canada which
are connected to community
antenna or pay television
systems.

raise the cultural level of the

But I don't say we can
do it."
BY IL pm, it was clear that
they hadn't been able to-not
yet, at least.
