Hunting License. The spirit of '32 has been rekindled by volatile "Jango" Goulart. After 2½ years of political zigs and zags and soaring inflation, the President last month lunged sharply left, seeking power in ways that deeply disturb and alarm many of his countrymen. Goulart has cut off all discount loans from the Bank of Brazil to politically unfriendly banks, has nationalized oil refineries and threatened to expropriate almost everything else in sight. He favors legalizing the Communist Party, is campaigning also for sweeping constitutional "reforms" that would enfranchise millions of illiterates, lift the constitutional...

In public. Goulart takes care not to antagonize the left by seeming to knuckle under...
...Paulo's incumbent Governor Carvalho Pinto, had already thrown his support to José Bonifacio Nogueira, 39, the state's aristocratic agriculture secretary, and had lined up a formidable coalition including the National Democratic Union and Christian Democrats, two parties that in the past had backed Quadros. President Jo?o ("Jango") Goulart's Labor Party organization in S?o Paulo was also behind Bonifacio, although Goulart himself has been silent. Bonifacio is running on Governor Carvalho Pinto's impressive record of school and road construction, drably pledging that "What is good must continue...
