CAMP MERCURY, New, July
Z (AP). The United States
fired a secret low-power nu-
clear weapon a few feet above
the desert today in the first
resumption of aerial nuclear
testing on its own soil since
1858.
The Atomic Energy Commits
sion and the Defense Depart
ment said the explosion was to
test the effects of nuclear wea-
pons.
The blast may be a prelude
to tests next week using troops
in atomic battlefield conditions.
Such tests have been reported
forthcoming, without official
confirmation.
Meanwhile, the United States
postponed again for the fourth
time its planned high altitude
nuclear test above johnston
Island in the Pacific.
The official cause was bad
weather, although the United
States Weather Bureau had in
dicated improving conditions.

about 5000 feet above the

Strike .EaIfers
As Brazil Sets
January Vote

RIO DE JANEIRo, Brazil,
Sept Is fAP).-President Joao
Goulart, triumphant in q year
long struggle with Congress,
today began marshaIing his
forces for victory in 9 January
plebiscite to grant him full
executive powers over the ma
ton.
A nationwide general strike
faltered and was petering out
as one. immediate effect Of the
early morning vote by Congress
to hold the plebiscite on Janu-
airy 6. Leaders Of the strike.
involving 1000 unions claiming
IL million workers. had insisted
that the plebiscite be held
Oct. Z, same date as congress
sional elections.
In Rio de Janeiro, more than
half Of the public transporta-
ton was back in service. Banks
said at least 80 per cent Of
their employees showed up for
work. Workers in other unions
also were reported returning to
their jobs.
System to Be Determined
The plebiscite will decide
whether to return to the strong
presidential system Of govern
fnent traditional in Brazil.
When Mr.. Goulart took over
last year after Janio Quadros
resigned, military lea ders'
feared he was too leftist and
backed action to put the coun-
try under a parliamentary sys-
tenn with a premier as head OF
government. The presidency
became a figurehead office.
Since that time, Mr.. Goulart
has won over many moderates
and has replaced opposition
military leaders with his own
men. The Communists. with
whom Mr.. Goulart was once
believed in sympathy, unleash
ed q bitter attack on him after
his plebiscite victory in Con-
gress. The party newspaper
Novos Rumos accused him of
being in league with imperial
lists and big landowners"
The vote on the plebiscite
bill, approved by the Senate
48 hours earlier, was 169-S3-I
five over the majority required.
Mr.. Goulart had conducted q
running battle with the con-
servative-d dominated Congress.
He demanded executive powers
to meet social and economic
problems.
~ GOulart to Come
Mr.. Goulart himself was to
come to Rio de Janeiro from
Brasilia, the capital. Despite
his exhausting week-long
wrangle with Congress, he was
expected to begin consultations
over q new cabinet immedi-
ately.
- The old one, headed by
Prime Minister Francisco Bro
chado da Rocha, resigned
Thursday after he failed to win
congressional approval for the
plebiscite.
Among the opponents Of the
January plebiscite was Mr..
.Goulart's brother-in-law, Leo
mel Brizola, governor Of Rio
Grande do Sui and leader Of
extreme nationalists. He tele-
graphed Labor Party deputies
from his state and ordered
them to vote against the meas
ure, an order which. If needed,
would have defeated the bill.
<'h But the deputies ignored Mr..
Brizols's order, leaving it clear
that Mr.. Goulart controls his
increasingly powerful Labor
Party.
The battle for the plebiscite
also has resulted in an alliance
between Mr.. Goulart and such
important liberal-centrist fig
ures as ex-President Juscelino
Kubitschek, ex-Foreign Minis
ter Santiago Dantas, and ex-
Foreign Minister Alfonso Arinos.
