ANNAPOLIS, Feb. "A bill
which would ban racial dis
elimination in hotels and res
taurants in half of Maryland

the session. breezed to pre-

The ease with which the bill
cleared its first major hurdle
was in sharp contrast to past
performances. Rural delegates
usually fight tooth and nail
against lowering racial bars
and call on every stalling tactic

While they're watching snow

ing bananas and coconuts grow.
Plantation tours, which take
the visitor through coconut and
banana estates, are proving a
new sidelight diversion to the
regular rounds Of beauty spots,
ruins, markets, nightclubs, surf
and sun.
Banana Tour
One Of the more popular is
the tour of Brimmer Hall, a
large banana and coconut
property at Port Maria, on the
North Coast. Mai. Douglas
Vaughan, owner. has developed
the tour as an added attraction
for visitors in the Ocho Rios
area.
Groups Of 20 are taken
around the plantation, to see
how bananas and coconuts are
grown. They see the everyday
work done on the estate-weed-
ing, pruning. and reaping.
They see tractors at work,
fields being forked, and enjoy
the novelty Of watching old
fashioned ways Of cultivation
being used side by side with
modern methods.
Two tours are made daily
one at 1890 am. the other at
3 pm. The tour occupies about
two hours, and is made by trac-
tor-drawn cart.
Visitors Delighted
Visitors who have discovered
the delight Of this tour have
been enthusiastic, and the word
is spreading throughout Ocho
Rios about this new and some
what unusual tourist activity.
Hotels, travel desks and
transport operators in the area
are cooperating with Major
Vaughan in promoting the tour.

SAC PAULO. Brazil. Nov. g.
Finance ministers from all over
the hemisphere are converging
on this perspiring metropolis
today for a top-level meeting
to change the whole face Of the
Alliance for Progress.
Their avowed task is to
breathe more life into what was
to have been a vast co-opera-
tive effort to bring Latin
America into the Goth Century.
On all sides here, it is freely
conceded that, in much Of
Latin America, the fine prom
iSes Incorporated in the found
ing charter of Punta del Este
two years ago have degenerated
today into little publicized
cliches and the So billion United
States aid effort.
The Latin delegates are de-
lighted that Undersecretary Of
State Averell Hartman has
been chosen to lead the United
States effort in this full-scale
reassessment. For them he is
the symbol Of international
prestige.
His appointment plus the
unprecedented appearance here
Of five separate assistant secre-
taries from various United
States Government depart
ments, is enough to convince
any doubling delegate that the
United States means business.
Atmosphere Electric
When Mr.. Hartman arrives
tomorrow he will find an cleo
trio atmosphere. For the past
two weeks, top experts from
most of the 20 countries in the
Alliance have been working out
a draft for what is officially
termed a new mechanism for
dynamics of the Alliance for
Progress"
In laymen's terms, this means
a new and predominantly Latin
American committee. plus q
strong president. to direct the
presently unco-ordinated re-
form and aid efforts under the
Alliance. This is a proposal to

Spouse to this surprise over
the European atmosphere.
You think all of Latin Ameri-
ca is the same, that we are
all tropical"
This word, tropical" seems
to one Of the most scathing
in the Chilean vocabulary. It
defines the chronic adolescence
of backwardnesS in Latin coun-
tries to the north Of here,
all summed UP In the con-
slant game Of musical chairs
which "caudillos" on horse

as alien here as in the United
States. Perhaps more so. This
string bean Of a country
stretches for $500 miles along
the far South Pacific coast of
the continent. All punched to-
gether its area would not equal
Texas.
Society Is Stable
Hemmed in by the Andes
on the east, desert in the
north, the Pacific in the west,
and the Antarctic in the south
and fortified by waves Of
migrants from Germany. italy
and. Central Europe, not to
mention Mother Spain-Chile
has produced a society which
is conservative, hard working
and baSically stable.
At every turn, Chileans note
their almost uninterrupted ira
dition Of constitutional gov
eminent dating back to shortly
after independence in 1918.
They proudly point to their
elected president, Jorge Ales-
Sandri, who lives in his plain
downtown apartment and
walks to the presidential office
each day without police guard.
But the other side of geo.
graphical seclusion Is fierce,
almost primitive. nationaliSm.
It's intensity has to be seen
to be believed. The current
boundary dispute with Argen-
tina over Palena, a somewhat
remote valley over the Andes
to the south, is an example.
Aroused at Border Incident
Argentine border guards, ap-
parently without the approval
Of the Argentine government,
had Invaded" q Chilean from
tier settlement and evicted
some Chilean residents.
For q week the newspapers
were a daily blaze of head
lines, the Congress was in al
most constant session, the
President was meeting with
political leaders and diplomats
over the issue-almost to the
exclusion Of all other inter-
national questions.
Nevertheless. sophiStication
and conservatism are still the
hallmarks of this capital city
of two million. Men reject even
the gentlest checked suits and
ecolored ties for the staid dark
browns, blues and grays of
London and New York. And
even the lower classes seem
addicted to that late afternoon
tea-no matter how meager-
which is a prelude to another
meal later in the night.
This daily rhythm Of life in

point Latin American respon-
sibility for the Alliance, and
partly by a muted division in
side the United States Govern
ment over exactly what limits
to put on the new organism.
Representatives of the Treas
ury Department are particu-
larry wary about committing
the United States to any agree
ment that might compromise
congressional control of aid
money.
Jealous Of Sovereignty
But they need not have wor-
ried. The small and large Latin
nations are too jealous of their
sovereignty and special bilat-
eral relations with the United
States to delegate all response
bility for allocating foreign aid
to any international body, no
matter how Latin.
What has emerged from this
discussion is a recommendation
for an itinerant body with
/ headquarters i'm Washington
and with powers ito prepare
and propose" estimates on how
much each Latin American
country should be spending on
Alliance reforms and what
share each should be receiving
of the total foreign aid pie
available around the world.
This recommendation will form
the basis for the ministerial
discussion opening tomorrow.
A new "inter-American Com
mittee of the Alliance for
Progress" would be composed
of six representatives chosen
from Latin America on a re-
gional basis for two-year terms,
one permanent United States
representative. and a president
elected for three years.
The only opposition to this
proposal comes from Brazil.
The huge Brazilian delegation
has done everything possible to
move the discussion away from
the Alliance for Progress. Its
members have maintained that
the focus Of the ministerial
meeting should be on working
out a common Latin American
policy for the general world
meeting on trade and tariffs in
Geneva next year.
Brazil Throws Block
Young and not very articu-
late Brazilian delegates sat
silently through one working
meeting after another on the
new Alliance committee. Then.
at the last minute. their chief
spokesman delivered a broad
side at the whole idea. saying
it needed further discussion
and could be created only by
new formal inter-American
treaty ratified by the various
congresses.
His speech was greeted with
such undisguised disgust by all
the Latin American delegates
that Sac Paulo newspapers are
moaning that this largest coun-
try and natural leader" Of
Latin America has been left in
mot very splendid isolation"
No one knows how serious
this Brazilian opposition is be-
cause no one is really certain
what the Brazilian position Is.
The country is in a state Of
economic and political chaos.
President Joao Goulart is in
a constant battle with the pow
erful governors Of the leading
states Of Brazil.
Against this backdrop, Mr..
Hartman clearly has his work
cut out for him. Somehow he
must cut through political in
trigue and nationalism to gain
at least formal Brazilian adj
herence to a new mechanism.
For everyone here comedies
that a Brazilian boycott would
doom any new multi-lateral
organism.
