Meanwhile he filled key positions in the army and the judiciary with his own men, thus making it harder to give a new impetus to the government. At present, inflation has' reached a scale that reminds us of the worthless German currency after the first World War, and attempts to control prices blocked by fears of a sinister and well-organized black market.

Communist influence in the trade unions is very strong, and is plainly visible in strikes across the country strategically planned to inflict the greatest injury to Brazil's economy and to mobilize popular discontent in support of Communist candidates. The immensely valuable iron ore deposits of Brazil, like its oil resources, remain largely undeveloped because of a mistaken policy that discourages the export of basic natural resources. THE COMMUNISTS are still a minority force. They have suffered local defeat in recent months. But they are becoming more active.

As the economic collapse in Brazil grows more dangerous, naturally this threat has produced a nervous unity between the quarrelsome factions that fear a Communist upheaval as the ultimate danger. The political debate in Brazil has degenerated into a quarrel between extremes with no moderates able to romniand a national following, and with the army uncertain about its role but determined to save the Pete Marinovich Photo PROSPECTING VETERAN Murrell E.

The mine is situated in the Eagletail Mountains 10 miles southwest of Harquahala. MOON PHASES 050C of events. Brazil by contrast counts in the scale of the world power. The beizure of its government by a military dictatorship or a sudden victory for Communist forces or the slow disintegration of country into economic chaos would be a more serious devclopm than the emerge of Freed niiin Castro's Cuba.

The seeds of the present un-ret were thickly sown from when Juscelino Kubits-click was president of Brazil. He allowed a sense of drift to permeate Brazil's economic life, watched in helpless inertia as inflation gathered tragic force, and paraded vague slogans as a substitute for resolute action. It is surprising that Kubitschek, with this disappointing record. should be considered as a possible successor to President Jaoa Goulart now. When Quadra became presi dent he at least tried to bring about some of the reforms which Brazil desperately needed.

But his courage broke under the strain, and in a mood of petulance or fatigue he fled the country in 1961. BEFORE Goulart could become president, the army insisted that he must divide the powers of his office wiih a prime minister. Tie army was trying to stop a personal dictatorship but it merely succeeded in paralyzing the system of government. For Goulart created conditions of calculated stalemate. He refused to co-operate with the prime minister and insisted finally on the abolition of that new office.

He gained this point in plebiscite which gave him the larger powers which he demanded as the unquestioned head of the Brazilian government. This was clever political bargaining by Goulart but it was disastrous for Brazil. During all these months, while problems steadily accumulated, Goulart let important decisions wait while 11ARQUAHALA "From a jackass to a pickup truck" is the way Murrell E. Flood describes his more than 40 years as a man possessed by the "gold fever." According to the 69-year-old prospector, he has roamed the valleys west of Phoenix since 1920 looking for the strike that would make him rich and satisfy his burning desire of the "find." "But gold mines aren't found nowadays, they're made," said Flood. He explained: "PEOPLE have traipsed over this entire country and the days of finding the stuff on top of the ground is gone.

Now, a man has to dig where nature and formations tell him and this is more than the 'loner' can do." The old-time prospector, as the public knows him. is disappearing, maintains Flood. Sale of his Double Eagle Mining Co. temporarily puts Flood out of business but he has other places to look. The mine, in the Eagletail Mountains 10 miles southwest of here, has been the prospector's dream since 1946.

"I REACTIVATED and reclaimed the mine, which was really found by George Bryan in 1912 and was then known as the Golden State property." explained Flood. At the mine itself, Flood was asked, "Where is the silver that is supposed to be here?" "Ha, you're a tenderfoot for sure because, son, you're stand- in on it, said the prospector as he picked up a piece of ore and broke it with his hammer to reveal a streak of silver. Colorful landmarks dot the way to the mine. "THERE'S Courthouse Rock, Rattlesnake Mountain, Cathedral Peak, and the Eagle Tails I named the mine after," Flood pointed out. Flood, a veteran of both World War I and II, has worked at other jobs, too, as he looked for his gold.

Meanwhile, Sue Lyon has made no secret of the fact that she's "competition" for Liz, or would like to be. Sue's cute attentions to Burton are the talk of the "Night of the Iguana" safari, which is likely to go down in the books as the wildest expedition in movie history. The best twist so far: the flicker company sent a chapcrone with Sue when she made the trek to Mexico, and the chapcrone has turned out to be the swingingest member of the entourage.

Fortunately Brazil, unlike many countries in Latin America, has a tradition of reasonable conduct in a crisis. Its people shun violent military so-lutions. But the choices before Brazii are bleak and painful. It should be realized that they are choices which the people of Brazil primarily must make. Any decisions in Washington will have only an intermittent and incidental Impact on the final results.

Wise Americans should prepare themselves for sad tidings from Brazil unless a political miracle takes place in that country. of a leading authority on Latin election campaign, with seven candidates vying against each other, is in process. At the same time, the Communists have launched a civil war. And there is talk of a possible military takeover similar to those in Honduras and the Dominican Republic recently. James is not too happy about the latter possibility.

He notes that the Venezuelan military establishment is not particularly anti-Communist. In fact, it is heavily infiltrated by Castro sympathizers. JAMES HAS reached the conclusion that to prevent the downfall of Latin American regimes it might become necessary for President Kennedy to send in U.S. forces. "If we had sent the Marines into Cuba following the Bay of Pigs, such as Richard Nixon suggested to the President at the time, we would not be facing the terrible problems ahead of us," says James.

am aware of Latin American hostility to such intervention. But I am also aware that most Latin Americans are much more frightened by the lack of firm American response to Castro's depredations." JAMES MAKES it clear that, as far as American politics are concerned, he is strictly nonpartisan. He notes that his Citizens Committee for a Free Cuba is composed of people of all parties. The committee, located at 1426 N.W., Washington 5, D.C., is engaged in a fund-raising drive. A letter from retired Adm.

Arleigh Burke, seeking contributions, notes the widening threat of Latin American communism. "The small island of Cuba is no longer the issue," says Burke. "The security of the United States itself is at stake." to New Low Approve 57 Disapprove 2K No opinion 15 One of the most important factors in the decline in the President's popularity in recent weeks is the racial issue, named the No. 1 problem facing the nation in a recent nationwide Gallup Poll. In surveys taken before and after Kennedy made his nationwide appeal on the civil rights question, his rating in the South dropped from just over the 50 per cent line to 33 per cent.

By midsummer, 44 per cent of persons living in the South approved of the way he was handling his job as president. In the latest survey, the figure has dropped to 40 per cent. Outside the South, the President's approval score has dropped from 69 per cent in the previous survey to 62 in the latest Gallup Poll. What the future effect of the racial problem will be is uncertain, but an analysis of the present thinking of people on civil rights related to attitudes toward the President sheds light on what may prove to be a threat to Kennedy's presidential hopes next year. In every month since May of this year, before Kennedy's stand on racial matters, the Gallup Poll has asked this question of the nation's voters: "Do you think the Kennedy administration is pushing integration too fast, or not fast enough?" Over a period of four months, a steady upward trend had been recorded in the percentage of persons who say that the Kennedy administration is pushing integration too fast.

In the latest survey the figure has leveled off at 50 per cent. The following table illustrates this trend on a month-by-month basis: PER CENT SAYING "TOO FAST" May $6 June 41 July 48 Aug 50 Today 30 That views on integration have political implications is clearly evidenced from a cross-analysis of persons who approve in general of the job Kennedy is doing and those who believe the Kennedy administration is pushing integration "too fast." Only one-third (33 per cent) of those who approve in general of Kennedy's handling of his job say that his administration is pushing (integration too fast, but of those who disapprove, more than eight in every 10 persons (81 per cent) say so. day the Senate should use its investigation into the financial trans-, actions of a former employe as a basis of upgrading ethical stand-: ards for Congressional members. Case urped early action on his proposal to require senators and representatives and their staff down from his standing in the i previous survey. Following the President's civil rights stand in early June, his national popularity rating fell off slightly, from 65 per cent to 61 per cent, but in the following months, his approval score remained virtually unchanged.

Today, with 57 per cent expressing satisfaction with the way Kennedy is handling his duties, the President's rating is at the lowest point since he took office in January 1961, 33 months ago. His previous low was 61 per cent.

Unless Washington immediately faces up to the problem nf stem- ming the Communist tide, I predict that American combat troops will be fighting in the jungles of Central and South America." These are harsh predic Lasky tions. But they come from a man who, in his books and various writings, has demonstrated great perception in predicting the tide of Latin American events.

Dan James is executive director of the Citizens Committee for a Free Cuba. As such he is in an excellent position to know what is going on in Castro's Cuba. ACCORDING TO James, there are 10 camps in Cuba devoted to training Communist guerrillas. "Students" from all over the hemisphere are taught the arts of sabotaging and taking over legitimate governments. Their bible is Che Guevara's famed manual on guerrilla warfare.

The Argentine-born Guevara is, of course, one of Fidel Castro's leading henchmen. The problem, says James, goes back to the fiasco of the Bay of Pigs. Had the U.S.-backed exile invasion of Castro-land been successful, a major souroe of the Communist infection in Latin America would have been smashed. "But that's water under the bridge," says James. "The question now is: Where do we go from here?" PARTICULARLY troubling to James is the situation in oil-rich Venezuela.

The action was taken as a result of Mr.

Nance's conduct at an official performance, including his refusal to stand during the playing of the national anthems." Asked about the reports that narcotics were involved in Mr. Nance's behavior, Sutherland replied, "The Department representative accompanying the group reported Mr. Nance was examined by a competent local doctor and that the latter said he was professionally unable to diagnose a drug influence and felt it would be most unfair to do so."
