Recounting a little usually forgotten history, the economist described Brazilian President Kubitschek's original conception of the Alliance as "Operation America." Out of it grew the Quitandinha Conference of 1954, in which first proposed the idea of Latin American countries cooperating in a partnership for sustained economic growth...
Aside from the Quadros upset, it was pretty much politics as before in Brazil. With few exceptions, the reigning parties -ex-President Juscelino Kubitschek's free-spending Social Democrats and President Joao Goulart's leftist-nationalist Laborites-hung on to their powerful blocs in the country's fractured Congress, and that suggested that Brazil is in for more and worse trouble. So loud was the squabbling in the outback capital of Brasilia in the last session that Congress proved itself incapable of passing legislation aimed at solving Brazil's desperate economic and social problems. It rarely...
...next choice, Goulart shrewdly reached over into the conservative party of ex-President Juscelino Kubitschek, who will be eligible for the presidency himself in the 1965 election and obviously wants to see full presidential powers restored. Goulart picked Kubitschek's man, Auro de Moura Andrade, the president of the Senate, and apparently counted on him to ask Congress for a national plebiscite to do away with the unworkable parliamentary system...
...Kubitschek made plain his immediate objective: a plebiscite to restore the presidential system. He obviously hopes to succeed Goulart in the restrengthened presidency in 1966.

In the U.S. last week for a month-long lecture tour. Kubitschek warned: ''This split of power might push the country into revolution...
Rising Demagogues. Anarchy is every where evident. Congressmen avoid the isolated new capital of Brasilia (built by free-spending Kubitschek to encourage development of Brazil's interior). Not a single major law has been passed since before Christmas-even though important land-and tax-reform bills are pending. Economists gloomily predict that inflation will raise the cost of living 60% this year...
