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...
Racking Task. Piled atop his economic problems, President Kubitschek has a full share of political worries. 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...
...charge, and again his avowed purpose in calling out the troops was to defend the constitution against Brazil's so-called golpistas: the military-civilian faction that favors a golpe (coup) to keep President-elect Ju-scelino Kubitschek and leftist Vice President-elect Joao ("Jango") Goulart from taking office next January. Teixeira Lott reportedly has no burning admiration for Kubitschek, but he considers himself duty bound to see to it that the presidential candidate who won the most votes in October's election is duly inaugurated...
Kubitschek. He was a friend of Vargas and member of a pro-Vargas party, the Social Democrats; thus he was at least indirectly linked with the charges of corruption that brought the Vargas regime crashing down. But the generals have even less liking for youthful (37) Rabble-Rouser Goulart, head of Vargas' own Labor Party, and a Vargas Labor Minister before the army forced him out. Public opinion is against any more coups, and the generals are probably willing to go along with Kubitschek. But they might draw the line at Jango...
