The incle ment weather crippled athletic workouts. Members of the Ross Volun teers are desperately hoping the weather won’t interfere with their plans for the annual Mardi Gras trip this weekend. Army ROTC juniors had fears that their PW periods would be turned into cold weather survival training, but much to their re lief, PW was held indoors. One junior commented, “The PW in structors must have not been able to get cold weather gear on this short notice!” Maybe so. . . ★ ★ ★ Col. Frank L.

Overnight Stop Opens Ike’s Tour In City of Future BRASILIA, Brazil OP)—Presi dent Eisenhower begins his 10- day South American tour today with an overnight stop in Bra zil’s still unfinished city of the future; The modernistic capitol-to-be was colorfully decked out for Eisenhower’s arrival from Puerto Rico on the first leg of the four- nation mission he hopes will help cement Western Hemisphere unity. Highlight of the stop will be a “Declaration of Brasilia” by Ei senhower and President Juscelino Kubitschek pledging to foster friendship and collaboration be tween the two nations. Officials estimated more than 100,000 persons—virtually the entire population of the new city —would turn out to greet Eisen hower. Most of them are work men brought here for construc tion of the city. They were given the day off to greet the Presi dent. Along the plaza from which this giant Latin American nation will be governed starting April 21, bulldozers, graders, derricks, trucks and Jeeps were lined up for Eisenhower to review. This is the wet season in Bra silia, 600 miles northwest of Rio de Janeiro, and decoration of the city was held up until just a few hours before Eisenhower’s ar rival because of the threat of more rain. Eisenhower’s schedule in Bra- salia included a civic reception in the center of the city, the un veiling of a monument commem- morating his visit, dedication of the foundation stone for the new U. S. Embassy, and a dinner he will give tonight for Kubitschek.
