parent reason for this disparity
in wealth between regions. For
the past 10 years Brazil has
raised its gross national prod
uct on an average Of 7 per
cent q year. the highest growth
rate in South America. Theo-
retically that z per cent should
be enough to cope with the
steady rise in population-now
increasing at 80 per cent a
year.
But the plight of the North
east and the neglected interior
is the plight of undistributed
wealth. Fifty-two per cent of
the country is still illiterate,
although the figure for Sac
Paulo taken alone is only 80
per cent. While 70 per cent of
the 10 million Brazilians still
live and work in the country
side, they have benefited little
from advanced industrializa-
ton.
An archaic system Of land
ownership and outmoded tech
niques have held back food
production and rural pros
perity. While the government
has actively fomented indus
trial progress through tax
credits and protective tariffs.
it has tolerated the worst kind
Of feudal inefficiency in rural
life.
Poor communications and
transport force whole areas Of
the country either to rely on
themselves or on food imports
from abroad. The rich farmers
in the far southern state Of
Rio ande do Sui have
neither the roads, ships, nor
incentives to transport their
beans, rice and meat over
thousands Of miles to the de-
pressed Northeast.
Recife Cut Off
Even Rio de Janeiro, which
is not in the far south, has
only one main road connection
with Recife. People who have
made the trip report that it is
an exhausting eight-day over
land expedition.
The inquiring visitor soon
begins to wonder what holds
this unequal collection Of 81
Brazilian states together. Peo-
pie in the Northeast speak re-
sentfully about being q "col-
ony" of the southern states.
They ship their raw materials
to the southern factories or
abroad for relatively low prices.
In return they are forced to
take manufactured Brazilian
goods with tariff protected
high prices.
For their part, the Paulistas
of Sac Paulo play well their
role Of "imperialist." They talk
proudly about their self-suf-
ficency and independence from
the rest of the Brazilian union.
The city has always been rich.
First, it was coffee produced in
the hot humid hinterland.
Later these coffee fortunes
combined with over a billion
dollars in foreign investment
to take advantage of cheap
labor and cheap electric power
on the Sac Paulo city plateau.
The result: The giant indus
trial complex Of today. The de-
velopment has gone so far that
Sac Paulo is no longer the
leading coffee producer in
Brazil.

Is Its Bosic Flaw.

prosperity in the long run de-
pends upon a steadily expand
ing consumers market for their
goods.
But so far the campaign has
made little headway. The rea-
son: Galloping initiation.
"Why should we invest any,
thing more in Sac Paulo, let
alone the Northeast, the way
things are going?" asked one
Paulista businessman rhetoric
ally. After all. under this gov
ernment plan we still have to
spend the money now to get
the income tax deduction. But
no one has any confidence in
the future. Who knows how
much today's investment will
be worth by the time it starts
paying returns?"
This initiation is a symptom
of the overall mismanagement
of the country. 1t has been
Seeping through the economy
for years. But today it is run
ming hog wild. So far this year
it is proceeding at an annual
rate of go per cent. and is
likely to get higher rather than
lower.
The government deficit last
year was 130 billion cruzieros,
and is estimated to be 500 biz
lion this year. How much these
figures represent in dollars is
anyone's guess. since the cru
ziero declines in value almost
daily. In the last two months
alone it has lost half of its
value on the foreign exchange
market here.
The visitor is once again
forced to ask the question
What does hold Brazil to-
gether? BY every rational
standard, the country is on the
verge of bankruptcy and politi-
cal collapse.
The answer comes in the
mood Of the country. Like that
off-beat neon sign, Brazil Is not
sane. 1t is a grab-bag Of con-
flicting emotions. They alter
nate between the extremes Of
despair and delight, but all lose
their sharpness in the gauze of
national nonchalance.
Tolerance Unifies
Innate tolerance Is the uni
flying thread Of the country.
The languor of the tropics has
nurtured it. Generations Of in
ter-marriage between colonial
lists, Indians, African slaves and
immigrants from all over the
world have sustained it. More
than in any other country in
South America. you feel q basic
democracy here - no matter
how it is perverted in political
practice.
The result: Problems are
never met head-on in Brazil.
Where possible they are
avoided, and where they can
not be avoided. they are COM
promised with minimum hurt
to either side. Nothing is ever
completely solved, but then
nothing is ever completely de-
stroyed.
Such is not the milieu for

MEL DISMISSES THE LACKLUSTER

slrug of youth. I'VE can go all the way"
McGaha predicted during the tight three
game series with the Senators here.
The question was carried to Mickey
Vernon, to whom better things should
happen. Can the Indians pick it all up?"
Mickey was asked.
II must be bad judge" Vernon sighed.
"It was almost year ago that Cleveland
came to town and beat our brains out.
That club couldn't do anything wrong in
early June. figured the Indians might
beat the Yankees-Mantle, Maris, Ford,
Arroyo and all.
Then they collapsed" he said. They
had a series of losing streaks- in q
row and a few shorter ones-and they
wound up fifth, 80 games back" (The
margin was S01a).
1T is ALMOST TOO MUCH to expect
infield, which was shaky last year, has
been revised but still there are seeming
flaws in other departments. The Orioles
have their pitching going for them, as usual,
but they're the worst-hitting club in the
AL and not so hot in the fielding depart
ment, either.
As for the Tigers 1t would appear tina
Kaline's injury almost kills their chances
Last June % they lost their rookie third
baseman, Steve Boros, due to the same
type Of injury-a broken collarbone-that
Kaline sustained. At that time the Tigers
were leading the league and were going
like gangbusters.
But Detroit quickly fell behind after
losing Boros, and he hardly was or is the
key figure that is Kaline. This is a tre-
mendous blow, losing Kaline There are no
better rightfielders in the American League,
and that includes Roger Maris.
1t could come down to photo finish
If Mantle, Ford and Arroyo are absent
over an extended period, maybe the young
man who manages Cleveland, McGaha,
could sneak in. Or even Cal Griffith g. Co.,
of all people.

WIN LOSE OR DRAW

THE PROSPECTS OF AN OUTSIDER
winning the American League pennant race
appears brighter and brighter Now the
Yankees Whitley Ford, who already had lost
his old rescuer, Luis Arroyo, seems to have
miseries of his own that will prevent him
from taking his regular turn for while.
Earlier, the world champions lost Mickey
Mantle, who last was seen in Texas for
treatments of his bum knee from football
trainer. And, of course, AL Kaline Of the
Tigers has his broken collarbone and won't
be around for seven or eight weeks.
1t is difficult to recall the last time
the No. l and teams in either league
sustained such drastic injuries to top stars
so early in any season. Kaline Is almost
the complete ball player and probably the
best of the Tigers, in spite Of Norm Cash
and Rocky Colavito. Al can do most every
thing-run, hit and throw-and Detroit has
got to be hurting.
Take Kaline out of the Tiger lineup for
two months, and Mantle, Ford and Arroyo
from the Yanks for any length of time, and
things figure to even up. This one could be
the closest American League race in years.
THE SOMBER DEVELOPMENTS move

calls them the "beSt balanced" in the AL.
McGaha, although he was major college
and pro basketball star, may be the second
or third least-known manager of any big
league team. Gene Mauch of the Phillies
is contender for this dubious distinction,

Vernon went to the pitchers

where he had a few choice
words for Umpire Sam Carri-
gan.
Manager Bill Rigney of the
Angels did not commit himself
on a batter while Vernon, Rip
pelmeyer and Schmidt con-
ferred on the mound Vernon
kept looking at the Angels dug
out and the crowd started
chanting play ball"
When Vernon walked away,
Rigney sent up Burgess, a left
hand hitter. The conjecture
was that Vernon would call in
southpaw Steve Hamilton, who
was warming up. to face Bur-
CESS, but Mickey stuck with
Rippelmeyer.
Burgess smacked a solid sim
gle to center to score the tying
and lead runs and Rippelmeyer
then baked over the sixth run.
Rippelmeyer said later that
he told Vernon he had faced
Burgess in the Pacific Coast
League, knew what to throw
him, and said he could get him
out. But he didn't.
Tom Morgan was the winner
in relief. The last time he won
a game was last September
when he beat the Senators here
in relief.
The Senators again passed
up numerous scoring opportu-
