Died. Oswaldo Euclydes de Souza Aranha, 65, Brazilian rancher and statesman who gained enough experience from revolutionary clashes of the 1920s to captain the forces that installed Strongman Getulio Vargas as Brazil's President, went on to be Vargas' Ambassador to Washington (1934-38) and Foreign Minister 1938-44), established close relations with the U.S. (though in later years he became disillusioned by U.S. hard-money policies), persuaded other Latin American countries to sever diplomatic relations with the Axis, brought Brazil into the war on the side of the U.S. over the reluctance of his chief and even...
...four weeks, a show of 18 handsome paintings in Mexico City's tiny Galeria Souza has been the talk of the town and a source of interested buzzing in art centers far above and beyond the border. Critics greeted the show with salvos of praise that made it the biggest Mexican art event since the 1949 retrospective of another painter, Diego Rivera. Paris' Museum of Modern Art Director Jean Cassou fired off an urgent telegram, then flew to Mexico City to see for himself. One Californian sent in his $4,000 check for one painting, a leader...
...Janeiro, Physiologist João de Souza Campos, Biochemist Roched Seba and Botanist Geraldo Kulman reported the discovery of a native substitute for India's so-called "miracle plant," rauwolfia serpentina, which has proved highly effective (in drug form) in treating high blood pressure and nervous disorders (TIME, Nov. 8).

While Souza Dantas journeyed on to Manhattan to discuss the same problem with U.S. bankers and exporters, U.S. Ambassador James Kemper telephoned Washington from his post in Rio. Asked whether he talked to President Eisenhower, he said...
...Kemper's call was as effective as Souza Dantas' timely report on U.S. export prospects in Brazil. At week's end the Export-Import Bank announced that to "serve the mutual interests of trade and of the economies of the two countries," terms of the credit would be relaxed to permit Brazil to pay its debt over 7½ years. For his part, Souza Dantas said that half of Brazil's dollar earnings in excess of $1 billion (last year's total earnings: $765 million) would also be applied to reducing the debt...
