Brazil's Vice President Joao ("Jango") Goulart and his pretty wife arrived in Washington last week for a state visit that turned into an immediate personal hit. Goulart, one of the most colorful and controversial of Brazil's traditionally high-voltage politicians, was welcomed warmly by Vice President Nixon, talked at length with Secretary of State Dulles, dropped in to chat with President Eisenhower, conferred earnestly with A.F.L.-C.I.O. Chief George Meany, and still had time to attend all the formal dinners and receptions that go with a state visit...
...year-old Vice President, the U.S. trip was much more than a run-of-the-mill good-will jaunt. Goulart has proved himself a skillful vote getter, particularly among his country's workers. But his success with labor has also won him the bitter distrust of many military leaders, who call him everything from Peronist to Communist...
Through all of last week's protocol, Goulart took special pains to make one point clear: Brazil is staunchly anti-Communist and he, as Brazil's Vice President, is staunchly anti-Communist as well, despite the fact that his ticket received a Communist endorsement in last October's elections.

Within the armed forces, the "preventive revolution" left resentments strong enough to be troublesome if the government stumbles. Vice President Goulart, powerless under the constitution to do anything more than preside over the Senate, is likely to go his own political way, looking ahead to the 1960 election. Kubitschek is still under suspicion, in Brazil and abroad, of having made some kind of election deal with the Reds; anything he does or says that relates to Communism will be examined for signs that...
Brazilian army leaders carried out their bloodless "preventive revolution" (TIME. Nov. 21) with the avowed intention of seeing to it that President-elect Juscelino Kubitschtk is duly inaugurated on Jan. 31. But are they also willing to guarantee the inauguration of leftish, controversial Vice President-elect Joao Goulart? The many Brazilians who dislike and mistrust "Jango" Goulart were eager to believe rumors that army chiefs would try to pressure him into resigning his claim to the vice-presidency. In a statement to the press last week, War Minister Henrique Teixeira Lott squelched the rumors. "If the electoral tribunal declares Senhor...
