Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, April 2, 1964 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle “I gotta admit—it sure looks like it would cut down on nicotine!” New President Named In Brazilian Revolt RIO DE JANEIRO <A>) _ Anti- Communist rebels seeking to oust leftist President Joao Goulart had Paschoal Ranieri Mazzili, president of the Chamber of De puties, sworn in as Brazil’s new president today. Auro Moura Andrade, president of the Brazilian Senate, de clared the presidency vacant after a two-day military and po litical revolt against Goulart. Moura Andrade asked Mazzilli to assume the office as Gou- lart’s constitutional successor. Mazzilli, next in line because Brazil has no vice president, took the oath of office in a brief cere mony at 3:30 a.m. in Brasilia, the inland capital. Goulart’s steady drift to the left had aroused staunch conser vative, anti-communist and Ro man Catholic opposition. The tensions came to a climax last week with a 40-hour mutiny by 1,425 sailors against conservative control of the navy. Mazzilli, 53, is the son of Itali an immigrants and a lawyer of conservative political inclinations. He has been acting president four time in the past, three times in the absence of Goulart or Presi dent Janio Quadros from the country, and when Quadros re signed in 1961 while Goulart, then vice president, was on a trip to Communist China.

DAN LOUIS JR EDITOR Ronnie Fann Managing Editor Jim Butler - Sports Editor Reynolds 9 Rap by Mike Reynolds BIG NEWS FOR CANDIDATES Houston Federal Court Rules President Joao Goulart of Brazil resigned his post Wednes day night in the wake of an army led revolt in eight of the country’s 22 states. Troops of the rebelli ous second army marched from Sao Paulo to Rio de Janeiro to take over the government. What appears to lie ahead in the storm-tossed country in South America ? Twice before in Braz il's history, dissatisfied Army of ficials have seized control of the country only to relinquish it to civilian hands once the strife had cleared. There is little reason to suspect any other course of events this time around either. It is too early to predict any kind of coloring in the future Brazilian government but the gen eral public is so conscious of the need for reform that any govern ment under the hands of the peo ple would have to be dedicated to change, and any change ex cept to a full communist state, couldn’t be worse than the Goulart government. The United States has never been too happy with the Goulart government because if it’s un written policy of ignoring infla tionary policies that went a long way towards canceling any of the effects of this country’s for eign aid. The foreign aid certainly could have been used in the northeast corner of the country where the average income per person is $90 a year. The common“sts have long been seeking to establish a foot- leftist marines and sailors who had barricaded themselves in a communist labor office and re peatedly defied military authori ties. Goulart turned them all loose. Delay Redistricting Until ’65 The dethroned president of the largest country in South Ameri ca has constantly leaned toward leftist policies during his occupa tion of the office and constantly sought to have the Communist party legalized. Throughout his term he drew staunch, conserva tive anti-communist and Roman Catholic opposition. If one can believe all of the reports filtering out of Brazil in the first hours after the revolu tion, it appears that the Commun ist conspiracy in the Western Hemisphere has suffered a major blow. It might be best to take everything with a grain of salt, though.

By The Associated Press The Houston federal court ruling on redistricting was the big news Wednesday among Texas political candidates. Congressional candidates were the only ones that would have been directly affected by immed iate enforcement of a court order for congress-at-large races until the state is redistricted. Candidates for other races, particularly for state house and senate, feared that an order for immediate enforcement would re sult in a special legislative session just before the May 2 primary. The Houston court, in effect, allowed the state to wait until the 1965 Legislature before re shuffling congressional districts. Meanwhile, considerable activi ty continued on the campaign front. U. S. Sen. Ralph Yarborough, D-Tex., opened his Dallas head quarters with two brothers, H. J. and Donald Yarborough, both Dallas attorneys, helping. Robert Morris, Republican Candidate for U. S. Senate, said in a speech prepared for a Fort Worth audience “It is folly for young American men to be dying in Viet Nam when Free China President Chiang Kai- Shek can retake the Chinese mainland and solve virtually all of our problems in the Far East.” Morris said, if elected senator, he would urge that Chiang Kai-Shek be allowed “to return to his right ful place on his homeland.” In another vein, Morris told the Fort Worth club he would support a tax credit for parents with sons or daughters in col lege but would oppose federal aid to either public or private schools. He said a tax credit is not the same as a tax deduction. “A tax credit is subtracted from the final income tax total a person must pay the government,” Morris said. Gordon McLendon, Democratic candidate for U. S. Senate, said he is amazed by Ralph Yarbor ough’s eforts to link the McLen don campaign with former Gover nor Allan Shivers. “I am cer tainly not ashamed of my fri endship with Allan Shivers, but this is strictly my own campaign,” McLendon said in remarks pre pared for a Beaumont rally. “It seems to me that the drag ing of Shivers’ name into the campaign would be highly em- barassing to Yarborough. The fact that Shivers beat him sound ly in two races for governor show ed the two men’s comparative standing with Texas voters.” George Bush, Republican can didate for the Senate, visited Midland and called for a “more On Monday, a U.

Although the communists have not won in their fight some of the leaders in the “hungry corner” of the country, have definite left ist leanings. Strangely enough, it is not this section of the country or the communists that have started the revolt. It is, on the contrary, anti-communists forces out of the south. The main reason listed by the rebel army for their revolt, was Goulart’s coddling of a group of Sound Off —Job Calls— FRIDAY Connecticut Mutual Life Insur ance Company — Accounting, Business administration and Agri cultural economics.

Editor, The Battalion: To the finest single group of men anywhere, the Class of ’66, I would like to make this final ap peal for votes. I consider the greatest honor at Aggieland to be the holding of a position which was decided on by the class — your Aggie buddies. The particu lar position I am seeking, Yell Leader, has always been one of great respect and responsibility. A man must love and be proud of his school to want this espec ially tough Aggie job. I do, Class mates. Many of you know me and know that being a good Ag is an item of personal pride to me. If you decide you want fightin’ Joe Bush for Yell Leader, I’ll be not only the happiest, but also the hardest working Ag on campus. Class of ’66, I am count ing on you. Go vote Thursday. Joe Bush, *66 which always begins, “If they would only . . . .” Elect a man who will unite these loose-ended factions by private class meetings in which we can hear each opin ion and consider their merits. Elect a man who in Student Sen ate meetings will stand and voice the feelings of the class regard less if they coincide with his own. In short, Smitty, wants the job and will work to see that your support will never be regreted. When you vote Thursday first consider what class presidents have done in the past; second what I plan to do in the future; then finally cast your vote — Julian Smith, President ’66.
