Brasilia — (Continued from page D Brazil since World War 11, and that there are no U. S. military bases here Weissman gave high marks to the Alliance For Progress, initiated in the early 1960 s by President Kennedy, for opening public dialogue on many topics forbidden prior to this period He cited education as an example. Since 1964 enrollment in the country's secondary schools has doubled, while prior to this time not much emphasis was placed on the public school system. Mr Tuch said Brazil is ruled by about 14 generals, but that they were smart enough to turn the actual operation of the country over to what he called ‘•technocrats” These, be explained. are civilian specialists in various fields President Medici, for example, was not elected by popular vote, but was voted into office for a five-year term by congress All such officials, he said, were more or less hand-picked Asked how an incompetent president could be removed from office. Mr Tuch said the problem has never arisen yet In the field of natural resources. Brazil is considered one of the richest in the world Mr Weissman put it this way: “Brazil is a leading candidate for development among the nations of the world.” - While this country imports 70 per cent of its petroleum, they claim to have untapped resources in abundance. And there is supposed to be one of the world’s largest deposits of iron ore in the Amazon region m the north of the country. Censored Press Public information is another thing The press in Brazil is censored, and in instances where newspapers failed to hue the line as the government would have them do, government censors are stationed in the newsroom of the newspapers to read any and all copy that could be considered controversial. or;. anti government We were told in some cases, in the middle of an article, there would appear a recipe and more recently a poem, where the censor blocked out an unfavorable portion of an article. Instead of 13 political parties as this country had prior to 1964, there are now two parties — the establishment party and the opposition party. While the opposition party cannot criticize the government very vociferously, its voice becomes benign Meet Brasilian Governor Our group was fortunate in being able to meet with the Governor of Brasilia His name is .Gov Helio Prates da Silveira, and at 55 years of age. has his work cut out for him We were able to find out he is a graduate of Rio Grande do Sul, and has had considerable experience in municipal government , He told us most of his problems are much the same as governing , any other major city, but that they have come down upon him , very fast He said.- “We have built a city in 14 years which took ( 150 years to do in the case of ( Washington. D. C.” Larry Sullivan, a member of

our party and publisher of the Maryland Independent Newspaper at LaPlata, Md.. and himself a former city mayor, had fun with our host by comparing problems of his small Maryland city with those of Gov. Silveira's. We had been told previously that government employees are forced to live in Brasilia, but that on week ends they pack up and rush to the beaches of Rio One could hardly blame them, but this gave us an opening for a question to Governor Silveira. He said he has enough work to keep him busy over the week ends, but that as Brasilia grows, more and more people are finding something to their liking at Brasilia. He said this is something that would work itself out m its own good time. Everywhere one looked there were huge buildings going up in and around Brasilia. We also asked the Governor how many buildings, including private dwellings, were under construction at the present time. He said he did not know for sure, but that last year alone there were 6,000 new homes bui 11 He ventured a guess that there would be 12,000 new homes built in 1974 The city hopes to have a population of two million in ten years, and no one could really question that they won t. Our visit with Governor Silveira was our last formal function at Brasilia En route to the airport our driver took us to a very fine cathedral, and pointed’ out numerous other buildings that make up the city. By now dusk was setting over the city and lights were going on in the many buildings Large fluorescent lights lined the cities’ streets, giving Brasilia an enchantment not to be seen in very many other cities Our group was together on the flight back to Rio, and as we lifted off the runway and our big plane circled this diamond on the pampas, the view of one of the most magnificent cities in the world lay beneath us in breathtaking awe It had been a long and tiring day. considering the lack of sleep of the night before We were not the only ones to fall asleep, only to be awakened by an airline stewardess with our dinner. It was back at the Trocadero at 9:20 p m and right to bed for us. It will be a day to remember Fredric Buckingham on duty at Langley HAMPTON, Va. - U.S. Air Force captain Fredric N.

This makes the fourth time Milford students have had the chance to go to the college to meet various foreign students. The group met in room 202 in the Communications center where James K. Graber, director of public relations and development, introduced the three speakers. The first student to talk to the Milford group and give them a chance to fire questions at him was Franklin Andy from Nigeria. West Africa. He told about his former life during the recent war in Nigeria, in which his tribe, the Ibos. were hard put to save themselves His schooling was interrupted when he had to fight for his people.

he came here. The second student was a very attractive young lady from Taiwan, which Americans think of as Nationalist China. She was Miss Ding-Jo Hsia. Her voice was very low. and all were forced to listen most carefully to the interesting things she had to say about Chinese life. Her father is a diplomat stationed in the Ivory Coast. West Africa. He felt that the education there was not adequate; so he arranged for his daughter to come to America. She mentioned that it was difficult to get used to so much meat in the diet. She prefers to eat rice and fish. When a student asked if she did not tire of rice three times a day. she asked if he ever got tired of bread. She said that Chinese people eat many soy beans and more vegetables than Americans. She has been here now for four years.

The class had made foreign flags representing each country, prepared questions and expected the next speaker would be from Iran; however the flu had hit Manchester too. and Saeed Yaghoub-Zar was ill. Mr. Graber was fortunate to secure the services of Mr. Pawn, a young man from Laos. He was most interesting as he showed slides of his country and explained their ways of living. One interesting aspect of his talk was the raising of rice. The Laotians grow fish and rice plants in the same paddies. After the rice is harvested. they use the rice straw to grow mushrooms in. His slides were a good lesson to the students, for they got to see how needy the rest of the world is. Accompanying the class on the trip were Mrs. Mary Pearl. Mrs. Richard Bender and Mrs. Dorothy Williams. A wise man never tries to convince a foolish man; he lets the foolish man think that he has been convinced
