Since World War II a handful of Communists have bored their way into some of the highest places in the Brazilian armed forces. The Reds got one setback in March when President Getulio Vargas fired his War Minister, General Newton Estillac Leal, no Communist himself, but an ultranationalist who insisted that the army should not inquire into an officer's politics.

Last week, after price riots in Belo Horizonte (TIME, Feb. 18), Price Boss Benjamin Scares Cabello announced the newest...
...famous. Some Brazilians guessed last week that he is just waiting for the right moment to make himself dictator again. Others say he is trying so hard to govern constitutionally that he lets a disorganized Congress mess up all his measures. But another story heard in Rio is that Getulio, now 68, just does not care any more, that all he really wanted was the vindication of electoral victory...
