It's the 'How' That Disturbs
Embedded in Brazil’s handling of its political
crisis is a loose, free-wheeling attitude toward its
national constitution which suggests dangerous in-
stability of a kind still all too common in Latin
America.
On a Saturday afternoon, in a single swift
stroke, the Brazilian congress radically altered its
form of government to strip its presidential office
of major power, make the presidency a figurehead
position, and transfer real authority to a newly
created premiership answerable to the congress
itself.
The congress did this, of course, because the
Brazilian military did not want Vice President
Goulart to succeed the resigned president, Quadros.
Only by destroying presidential power could Bra-
zilians persuade the military to accept Goulart.
Yet political stability can hardly be hoped for
if government structures may be so quickly and
sweepingly altered as this.
In the United States, the process of constitu-
tional change is made deliberately difficult. Con-
gress must first approve amendments by a two-
thirds vote of both houses, and then they must be
ratified by three-fourths of all the states, which
today means 38 of 50.
The process can take years, even for a rela-
tively modest change. And its very slowness is
considered a valuable antidote to precipitate, ill-
considered action.
Right now the United States is embarking on
a broad, costly program of aid to Latin America.
We have coupled with it an insistent urging that
Latin lands undertake drastic economic and social
reforms, so that our aid may perhaps have lasting
value rather than be used to shore up unsound and
often corrupt systems.
At least some of the countries in desperate
need may in fact adopt the called-for reforms. But
the example of Brazil presents us with a serious
warning. The cavalier wave of the hand with which
it reshaped its fundamental law suggests that in
many places in Latin America, reforms adopted
might turn out to be reforms repealed.
Our response to the events in Brazil has
therefore to be mixed.
We are naturally happy that the leftist-leaning
Quadros is gone and that even more leftist-leaning
Goulart is shackled by others more clearly sympa-
thetic to us and the West. Nevertheless, we have
to be disturbed at the constitutional surgery which
was a crucial part of the change.

It Occurs to Me...
By Lin Mills
THAT WISE GUY who writes
Ithe Rotary Club bulletin, none
other than THE Jerry Pavlik,
“explains” last week’s mistake
his publication made in stat-
ing that Gene Royer showed
slides taken on his vacation
“in Florida.”
It was plenty obvious from
the mountains shown that the
slides were taken anywhere but
in Florida. They were taken in
Colorado, as a matter of fact.
Anyway, here’s Pavlik’s “ex-
planation on what happened:”
“Gene Royer apparently
showe'd the wrong slides.
APPARENTLY TO offset that
bit of humor, Pavlik prints this
more serious thought:
“The things that make life
worth while flow FROM us—
not TO us!”
THE LIONS BULLETIN,
edited by City Commissioner
Jack Sorenson, prints two jokes
and tells how much the club
made off Ithe recent rodeo con-
cessions.
Joke No. 1 Salesman: “This
book is guaranteed to do half
your work.”
Customer: “I’ll take two.”
Joke No. 2, and it isn’t much
better:
Wife: “So you saw Mable
downtown this afternoon? What
kind of hat was she wearing?”
Husband. “Don’t know. Didn’t
notice. Too windy.”
(Thalt must have been Jack’s
hurricane Carla joke).
It looks like the concession
stands at the recent rode'o
cleared about $250, according
the nearly complete financial
wrap-up.
This dough will be split two
ways, the Lions giving half to
Ithe Rodeo Assn, for the con-
cession rights.
This leaves the Lions with
$125 for three nighlts work on
the part of beaucoup members.
DOROTHY ANDERSON is
very concerned about promot-
ing the “Outstanding Business
Woman” award.
We’ll print a ballot in The
Press in a few days, and you
can use ilt if you like to make
your nomination. Or, if you’d
rather, you can use a post card.
Dorothy emphasizes, however,
that the person getting the
most “votes” or ‘nominations”
isn’t necessarily the winner.
The nominations are merely a
guide for the selection.
There are really just two
qualifications the outstanding
business woman must meet.
First, she must be actively
engaged in a business or pro-
fession.
And secondly, she musjt be
an avid worker net only in
and lor her home but also in
her church and in community
affairs.
The' FB&PW Club has been
naming top business women
since 1950. The majority of
them have been members of the
club, but this is not a qualifi-
cation.
Those1 who have received the
honor are Mrs. Alma Lee Hol-
man, Miss Mary Moody, Mrs.
Ozelle Zieschang, Mrs. Mary
Olson, Miss Ruby Neubauer,
Mrs. L. L. Walker, Mrs. Lillie
Kovar, Mrs. George Peeler,
Mrs. Dorothy Warren, Miss
Floy Jones and Mrs. Irene
Arning.
This year’s award will be
made at the club’s anniversary
dinner Oct. 2 which falls dur-
ing National Business Women’s
Week.
Who will it be? Who do you
think deserves the honor? Why
don’t you make a nomination?
THE COOL, FALL - LIKE
weather has caused a “fever”
epidemic”—football fever that
is.
Somehow a lot of fans just
can’t quite get into the swing
of ilt when the thermometer
stubbornly hangs in the high
90s or the low 100s.
But juslt let the first real in-j
dication of fall come along—
like the weather we’ve had
the last couple of days—and
they start their hooping and
hollering.
Friday night, naturally, will
be a good time to let off steam.
Merry-Go-Round.... By Drew Pearson
WASHINGTON — Sen. Wayne
Morse of Oregon, chairman of
the Senate Education Committee,
was reporting to President Ken-
nedy at the White House regard-
ing the chances of passing an
education bill, not this year but
next. Both knew the chances
of getting a general education
bill passed this year were nil;
both hoped to pave. the way for
a hill next year.
“Mr. President,” said Morse,
“you’ve got to tell Sam Rayburn
and John McCormack that if
they don’t get an education bill
next year they won’t be around
as leaders of the House the year
following. I met with the National
Education Assn., and I know the
tempers of the teachers.”
“I want to thank you, Wayne,”
said Kennedy, “for what you
did with the NEA. You know
for eight years under Eisenhower
they didn’t let out a pep on
education. Now they’re out to
crucify me.”
“But Mr. President,” replied
Morse, ‘.‘Eisenhower didn’t make
the promises you did. They’ve
got you on the record. They’ve
looked up every speech you made
in the 1960 election. And in speech
after speech you promised aid to
education.”
“You tell the NEA,” replied
the President, “To give me just
one Republican vote in the
rules committee. I can’t change
Delaney (Rep. James J. Delaney,
sometimes called Cardinal Spell-
man’s congressman on the rules
committee). He comes from a
strong Catholic district and won’t
rise above it. But tell the NEA
to give me just one Republican
vote on Ithe rules committee and
we’ll pass a school bill next
year.”
Kennedy referred to the fact
that every Republican on the
key rules committee ganged up
with the Dixicrats to bottle the
bill so the full House of Represen-
tatives couldn’t vote on it.
Mississippi Politics
What the President and Senator
Morse chiefly discussed was how
to block a two-year extension of
the impacted areas school bill.
They were willing to go for one
year, but not two.
For the impacted areas school
bill is a piece1 of pork barrel
which gives certain congress-
men all the advantages of federal
money while denying it to the
rest of the nation.
Thus, Rep. Bill Colrner, the
Mississippi Dixicrat who helped
block the general education bill
inside the rules committee, turn-
er round and vetted for the im-
pacted areas school bill. The
reason was simple. Under the im-
pacted bill he gets $1,245,000 for
his Mississippi district—part for
school construction, part for
school maintenance and operation.
Thus Colrner makes speeches
against aid to education as a
socialistic giveaway, but votes for
this same socialistic giveaway
when it helps the area around
Pascagoula, Miss.
This was true of many other
Dixicrat congressmen. They gang-
ed up to defeat the general edu-
cation 'billy— but voted for the
impacted areas bill because a
preponderance of military bases
are in the south and the “im-
pacted” areas around them get
federal funds.
Both Virginia senators, Byrd
and Robertson, for instance,
lined up against the general edu-
cation bill; while. every Virginia
Congressman except Pat Jen-
nings voted against the compro-
mise education bill. Then all Vir-
ginia congressmen except Burr
Harrison turned round and sup-
ported the impacted areas school
bill. Why? The state of Virginia
gets $1.02 of federal tax money
hack from the government for
every dollar paid in federal tax-
es—part of it for impacted school
areas.

Why Grow Old
• By Josephine Lowmart
Ever since Eve bit into the ap-
ple, wriggled into a fig leaf and
discovered that it was a bit tight
across the hips, women have been
worrying about their weight. They
have followed all sorts of diets,
crazy ones as well as sensible
ones.
It * took Adam a long time to
catch 'up \yith the reducing bug,
but now millions of men have
joined the calorie counting bri-
gade. Sadly, many of the boys
who so long scoffed at the gen-
eral inability of women to stick
to a diet are not doing much bet-
ter themselves.
Many experts agree that the
psychological need for eating
pleasure is one of the main rea-
sons for diet breaking. The aes-
thetic satisfaction derived from
food is important, just as nutri-
tion is. Few people can be de-
prived of its pleasure for long.
Practically any determined dieter
can stick to a restricted food in-
take for a little while, whether
You don’t need to deny yourself food to lose weight
-—just make a few simple changes like fat free
milk instead of whole milk,
it be a fad diet or well-balan-
ced] but rather dull, restricted
menus, but sooner or later the
craving for taste becomes irresis-
tible. Therefore, the weight so
painfully lost is quickly regained
and the dieter has the whole
thing to do over again—and again
—and again.
The permanent maintenance of
an attractive, slender figure is
not a “sometime” thing. It calls
for permament changes in eating
habits. The method, which does
lead to permanent weight con-
trol, is to learn the calorie values
of foods, eat a well-balanced diet,
but make some slight changes in
your eating habits. These 'Slight
changes can result in substantial
calorie saving without impairing
your enjoyment of food, and will
assure you a steady loss of
weight.
Use herbs and spices to replace
the (thick cream sauces and
gravies; use the broiler instead
of the skillet; eat unsugared or
fresh fruits instead of rich des-
serts, eat smaller helpings, drink
powdered, fat free milk instead
of whole milk, and' take advant-
age of one of the low-caloried
salad dressings.
There is at least one maker of
low-caloried salad dressings which
Has reconstituted these so that
they are acceptable substitutes
for regluar French or Italian syle
dressings,. These also can be
used to marinate or to give flavor
(to meats and fish.
The point I am making is
that a few simple changes in
your habits of eating,
gress that “schools and colleges
—not jet planes nor H-bombs—
are the greatest Russian latent
threat to America and the west.
“Where is Russia getting the
ballistic missiles, jet planes, and
other marvels?” asked Kennedy.
“It’s from the graduates of her
10-year secondary school educat-
ional system—which has become
perhaps the toughest secondary
scholastic system in the world
today.
“Hard work and hard' educa-
tion in Russia are sometimes
comparable to the philosophy
of America in the pioneer days
of the turn of this century,” re-
ported publisher Kennedy.
Others reported the same. Wil-
liam Benton, former senator
from Connecticut, came back
from Russia with a similar re-
port. A distinguished group of
American educators sent by the
U.S. Office of Education under
Eisenhower, also reported the
Soviet education was malting
mendous strides.
My own observation in Moscow
bore out these conclusions.
I visited a secondary school
on the outskirts of Moscow in a
workers district where the build-
ing, of about the same vintage
as the average city schodl in
the United States, had had its
floors, desks, and walls painted
by the students themselves dur-
ing their summer vacation.
And at a near-by machine-tool
plant the students were given
parttime jobs as apprentices, thus
alternating school work with prac-
tical technical work while in their
teens. I also visited the huge
skyscraper at Moscow University,
which cost more than the 200-
odd buildings of the University
of Maryland.
Conclusion: Soviet education is
pushing ahead while the U.S. Con-
gress continues its nine-year
squabble over whether to pass a
school bill; and this year has
decided—once again—on the nega-
tive.
