Brazil Renews Ties
With Moscow; Move
May Mean Trouble
By EDWARD T. BUTLER
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (AP) renewed diplomatic re­lations with the Soviet Union Thursday in a move apparently intended to demonstrate its free­dom from U.S. it could mean trouble for the wob­bly young government of Premier Tancredo Neves.
After a 14-year break, Foreign Minister Francisco Santiago Dan-tas announced the resumption of formal ties with Moscow during a
Astronauts In Race Orbital Shot
CAPE CANAVERAL, (AP) Col. John H. Glenn Jr. and Comdr. Malcolm S. Carpenter are running neck-and-neck in the race for the job of prime astro­naut in America's first manned orbital flight, informed sources said today.
Cmdr. Alan B. Shepard Jr. def­initely is out of the race, the sources said. Shepard rode the first Redstone rocket on a 300-mile suborbital trip last May 5. Glenn, a aMrine, was backup as­tronaut for Shepard and Capt. Virgil I. Grissom on their subor­bital flights.
The American Broadcasting Co. reported Thursday that Glenn had been designated prime astro­naut for the first manned orbital flight. The network said Carpen­ter had been chosen as backup astronaut.
Sources at Cape Canaveral said Robert R. Project Mer­cury director, is expected to name the prime astronaut and his back­up after an launching next week of a chimpanzee in a three-orbit mission, unless the chimp shot is outright failure.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is urgently striving for a manned orbital shot before the end of this year.
Ike Hits Of Extremists
NEW YORK (AP) Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower deplores what he "super-pa­triots" and the recent "rise of extremists" in this country.
He also urged armed forces of­ficers to shun partisan politics.
Among other points by Eisenhower in the second of a ser­ies of filmed television interviews presented Thursday night over the TV network:
1. He learned at the first Gen­eva summit conference that Ni-kita Khrushchev, and not Soviet Premier Nikoiai Bulganin, was the boss of the Soviet delegation.
2. The Soviet Union would never start a nuclear war because of America's destructive power.
3. Sooner later the Soviet people get the Avord that the free world is against aggression.
4. The foregoing will create pressure inside the Soviet Union for disarmament.
5. The erection of a wall be tween East and West Berlin is a sign of Soviet weakness.
6. The removal of the body of former Premier Stalin from the tomb in Red Square shows Premier Khrushchev is un­easy about something.

Angry congressmen, shouting "shame" contended that the Com­munists already had a strong enough hold in Brazil without the presence of Soviet diplomats in Rio de Janeiro and the inland capital.
Neves told newsmen that the renewal of relations did not mean that is 95 per cent Roman selling out its democratic Christian ideals.
There has been no concession on the part of the gov­ernment, said Neves.
Relations with the Soviet Union have been a hot potato for Bra­zilian politicians since President Eurico Caspar Dutra angrily broke with Moscow in 1947 be­cause of Soviet newspaper at­tacks on him and Brazilian army generals.
President Juscelino Kubitschek toyed with the idea of restoring relations. He finally sided with the West in the cold war, but he did set up commercial relations with the Soviet Union.
Enigmatic Janio succeeded Kubitschek and then quit in a huff last August, set in motion the machinery to ex­change envoys with Moscow once more.

The apparently leftward swing brought Quadros under strong fire which led to his resignation Aug. 25.

LATE NEWS BRIEF
No NAACP Violation
AUSTIN Gen. Will Wilson asserted today allegations by a legislative committee that the Association for the Advancement of Colored People violated a 1957 injunction are groundless.
The court order prohibits the NAACP and its 113 branches from bringing any suit in Texas in which it has no direct inter­est. It also prohibits the Asso­ciation from encouraging others to file such suits and financing them.
The House General Investigat­ing Committee reported in Au­that the injunction had been violated in connection with the March, 1960, sit-in demonstra­tions in Marshall. The commit­tee alleged the NAACP attor­neys delivered to the president of Wiley College in Marshall to pay fines and bail bonds for Negro students taking part in the sit-ins.

Michigan Woman Is Mrs. America
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. B. Masson is a lucky fellow. Not only is his wife the new Mrs. America, but serving her the traditional breakfast in bed is no great sel­dom eats much in the morning.
Auburn-haired Masson, a pretty 5-foot-5 mot'her of three, had her mind more on the exten­sive trips she will make in the next year on behalf of sponsors of Mrs. America, 1962.
"I've never traveled much" said Mrs. Masson, who lives in Red-ford Township, Mich., near De­troit. "I'm really looking forward to it."
Mrs. Masson, 39, was chosen Mrs. America Thursday in the climax of the rivalry that began Nov. 13 with arrival homemak-ing queens from all 50 states and the District' of Columbia.
Runner-up was Mrs. Arizona, Angelyn Almond of Mrs. Minnesota, Gloria Schultz of St. Paul, was third.
Mrs. Masson is a former recep­tionist and her husband is a re­tail store chain executive. They have been married 19 years.
Can a couple get along that m'any years without arguments?
"I don't believe so," Mrs. Mas-son said. "But my husband has such a sense of humor it's hard to fight with him."
Among the first to congratulate the new Mrs. America were her children, Diane, 16, Thomas,. 12, and David, 8. They telephoned from Michigan. Mrs. Masson said the youngsters had heard of her victory but didn't believe it until they heard it from' her.

Mobs Loot Properties Of
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) Tanks roared through the streets of the newly renamed Dominican capital and jet planes zoomed overhead Thursday night to up mobs looting properties.
President Joaquin Balaguer proclaimed a dusk-to-dawn curfew after the most violent rioting since assassination removed Dic­tator Rafael L. Trujillo's iron con­trol and started the nation on the heady path of liberty.
The troops cleared the streets of the capital and patrolled through the night amid fears of continuing new outbursts of ven­geance against the Trujillos, all of whom have now fled the is­land.
The city changed Thursday from Ciudad to its an­cient name of Santo Domingo by tense.
Explosions crackled throughout the night. But there were few per­sons on the streets and it ap­peared the bombs were set off by troops as a warning to van­dals.
Tanks and Vampire jet planes were called out to put down the rioters. Soldier patrols removed all weapons and bullets from gun stores. The president blamed the violence on the Communists.
The ransacking of properties owned by the Trujillos, who ran this Caribbean nation as a pri­vate preserve for 31 years, came as the last members of the fam­ily fled into exile.

GUAM remains of two bodies, possibly those of famed American aviatrix Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, who disappeared over the Pacific an around-the- flight in 1937, were found ecently in a grave on Saipan it was disclosed today. The remains, including dental plates and bones discovered in September, were in a box being flown today to the University of California at Berkeley for anthro­pological study.
Willis Snyder, Pan American Airways district manager at Guam, related that those who re­covered the remains SEud they in­cluded dental plates.
The plates and bones were be­ing sent to Dr. Theodore D. Mc-Cown, professor of anthropology at the University of California, for study.
At Berkeley, Dr. McCown said he had been informed of the dis­covery, but knew nothing about the bones or dental plates.
In Medford, Mass., Mrs. Albert Morrissey, Amelia's sister said she had been advised of the Guam finding but expressed little confi­dence that it was that of her sis­ter.
Mrs. Morrissey said no dental chart on Amelia Earhart exists. She said an existing chart on Noonan might shed some light on the identity of the remains of the two bodies.

Last of the Three
ting
of County Farmers
Signed in Wheat Program
With only one week before the deadline, records in the local Ag­ricultural Stabilization and Conser­vation Service office reveal that approximately 75 per cent of barger County wheat have signed under the 1962 Wheat Stabilization Program, it was announced Friday by T. L. McBride, ASC office manager.
The last day applications can be accepted in Dec. 1.
Most of the 1278 wheat produc­ers in the county who have not signed for participation are the farmers, Mr. Mc­Bride said.
He pointed out that some farm­ers have an erroneous idea that cutting down their wheat acreage constitutes compliance. "There are two main requirements for bene­fit he said. "First, the required acreage must foe de­ducted
from the allotment, and, second, the diverted acreage must be devoted to approved conserva­tion uses."
Mr. McBride also that the old privileges do not apply under the new program. This means that a farmer who has not planted any wheat dur­ing the past three years is not eligible to participate in the pro­gram. Furthermore, any wheat he harvests in 1962 will be subject to penalties.
Oher deadline dates were an nounced by Mr. McBride as fol­lows:
Last day to file for new-grower cotton acreage Feb. 16, 1962.
Last Day to 1962 cotton allotment April 13, 1962.
Last day to apply for released allotment April 13, 1962.
Last day to re-apportion the re­leased acreage April 1962.
WASHINGTON (AP) The last of the three is undergoing a face-lifting in many high schools.
Instead of concentrating on such things as logarithms, elaborate factoring, and proving solid geom­etry, many youngsters are spend­ing part of their time on some­thing called "new mathematics." It includes such items as "addi­tive identity," "additive inverse" and the "communative property of addition."
Introduction of what some call "new mathematics" has up arguments among educators about its value.
In its Dr. G. Price, chairman of the depart­ment of mathematics at the Uni­versity of Kansas, says:
"The technological revolution now in progress requires that new mathematics be taught in our schools, that the emphasis be shifted in the teaching of many subjects already included in our mathematics courses, and that we increase the production of m'athe-maticians and mathematics teach­ers."

He says: "The problem is not that our curriculum is outmoded, but that we have done a very bad job of presenting the material we have taught."

plane, was found in Saipan har­bor last year.
Many theories were advanced as to the flyers fate.
The latest version, those who recovered the remains, was that the generator on Miss Ear-hart's twin-engine plane broke down as she landed at Yap.
A new generator was installed and the plane hopped to where she and Noonan were im­prisoned by the Japanese.
It was said Miss Earhart died of dysentery and Noonan was shot to death.
Other theories were that both were shot by the Japanese be­cause they might have observed Japanese fortifying the island pre­paratory to World War II.
This theory, however, was de­nied by Jesus de Leon ranking police inspector at Saipan when Miss Earhart disappeared 1937.

U. S. Willing To Sell Food To Yugoslavia
WASHINGTON (AP) The United States says it is willing to arrange to sell more surplus food to Yugoslavia.
Belgrade sources said Thursday that Washington had agreed to the sale of another 500,000 tons of wheat asked by President Tito. He said the grain was badly needed because of Yu­goslav crop failures.
But the State Department said Thursday night the two govern­ments still are discussing terms of the deal and the amount of farm commodities to be sold.
"This action represents a con­tinuation of the practice of sup­plying agricultural commodities to Yugoslavia which began U years ago," the State Department said. It added that the arrange­ments come under a law which permits sale of surplus commodi­ties for local currencies which are then loaned back or given as grants to the government making the purchase.
The Tito government had con­sidered the delay in the sale as economic pressure on Yugoslavia because of its policies.
Tito charged in a Nov. 13 speech that "some capitalists and other reactionary people in America stubbornly lead the propaganda against Yugoslavia and say that aid Yugoslavia should be stopped."
Several U.S. groups and some members of Congress have ex­pressed strong opposition to fur­ther dealings with Tito.
Surplus American food sold to Yugoslavia earlier this year in­cluded 500,000 tons of wheat.
Finn Hold Meet In Secret
MOSCOW (AP Premier Khrushchev told Finnish Pres­ident Urho Kekkonen today the Soviet Union "can no longer re­gard the north of Europe as an area of peace and tranquility" be­cause of the activity of West Ger­man military leaders. He de­clared it is essential to take measures "before it is too late."
Khrushchev and Kekkonen con­ferred in a cottage at remote Novosibirsk in Siberia where Kek­konen sought direct word from Khrushchev on what is behind his demand for military consulta­tions with the little north Eu­ropean country.
The result of his talks was still a guarded secret.
The atmosphere in diplomatic circles, fearful that Finland's neu­trality might be menaced by a Soviet demand for military bases, was brightened somewhat by a joint communique issued after the conference.
It said the talks were held "in a spirit of open-mindedness, mu­tual understanding sincere confidence."
The communique said the two leaders met in "a hearty and friendly atmosphere."
But a report by Tass, official Soviet news agency, on Khrush­chev's speech at a luncheon given for Kekkonen immediately aft­er the talks, emphasized that Khrushchev has not changed his mind since consultations were demanded on Oct. 30.
"Finland's neutrality is an im­portant of the preser­vation of peace and tranquility" in the Baltic area, he adding that the Soviet considers it necessary to take measure? "before it is too late for curbing the West German militarists and revanchists."
He said Russia was convinced that Norway and Denmark, by co­operating Vvith West Germany in the North Atlantic Treaty Organ­ization, were undermining their own security and bringing "the on the part of German militarists and revanchists closer to the shores of Finland and the Soviet Union."
He said Norway and Denmark continued to view their military ties with West Germany 'through rose-tinted glasses" despite the dangers pointed out by the Soviet Union.
West German Defense Minister Franz Josef Strauss' visits to Norway and Denmark to discuss military questions, and plans to set up a joint Danish-West Ger­man military command, he add­ed, "bear a strong resemblance to a military demonstration of a kind."
The situation, he declared, calls for "further consolidation of all-round cooperation" between Fin­land and Soviet Russia, and de­mands "firm confidence" that Finland will continue a policy of friendly relations with Moscow.
He voiced the suspicion that right-wing Finnish groups, includ­ing the former Social Democrat (See Page 2)

Parts of the coast have narrow sand beaches, but in most places the dirty green mangrove grows down to the water's edge.
