When the vote was finally taken, and the result announced-181 to 74 for the bill's passage-the comrades cried a last "Viva General Luis Carlos Prestes!" and "Viva Russia!" A few minutes later, at Catete Palace, President Eurico Caspar Dutra signed 900-A in the presence of top army brass who had reportedly strong-armed the bill through. Gloated the pro-government A Noite: "The beauty of it is . . . that within the law we were able to put the Communists outside...
Retort Discourteous. What sparked the Brazil-Soviet break was a rude affront to touchy national honor. Last fortnight Moscow's Izvestia said, in a generally churlish editorial on Brazil, that President Eurico Caspar Dutra was "surprisingly colorless even for a country where the generals are made, not on the battlefield, but on coffee plantations." The Brazilian Army fumed. A Foreign Office demand for an apology went unanswered. Last week the Brazilian Ambassador in Moscow was instructed to tell the Kremlin that 2½ years of edgy fraternity (but no trade) were all over...

Sitting side by side, the two Presidents drove for six miles along the flag-lined streets between long lines of Brazilian soldiery. Cheering crowds lined every inch of the way. Blizzards of paper fell from the taller buildings. Standing up in the car, Harry Truman waved amiably to yells...
Black Ties. There were Argentine lunches, Panamanian drinks, and Mexican decoration ceremonies. There was the opera, with Gigli singing in La Tosca and tiaras sparkling from the boxes. One night Brazil's President Eurico Caspar Dutra gave a state dinner in the palm-lined patio of the neoclassic Itamarati Palace. While a company of 120-the men in black ties and the women in low-cut gowns-nibbled pheasant and sipped champagne, swans glided in a candlelit pool and ballet dancers whirled on a special stage. Ignoring the rain, the ladies seized a lifetime's chance and swept...
