Speaking over a nation-wide ra- dio hookup, Vuletich said that rulnors had been spread about in order to. create a split between the masses of workers and labor leaders on one side and President Peron on the other. “The facts have been exagerat- ed”, Vuletich went ont o say, “and the workers have been accused of unfortunate happenings — which were the pure and exclusive re- sult of fate. Even the slightest study would show that human ef- forts could not have intervened to cause such happenings.” Vuletich had reference to a train accidént which occurred last Tuesday night when one person: BEGINNERS’ SPANISH | BY G.

We must also develop a national conscience for consuming what we produce and for doing without unneces- sary things in order to acceler- ate our development.” The president asked that em ployers absorb the wage increases he recommended instead of pas- sing them on to the consumer.

He expressed himself as will- ing to give Dade County the bene. fits justly deserved by its citizens. Such benefits would materialize jin the construction of highways | bridges, drainage ete. and the pro- vision of more facilities for schools and other official agencies in this community. Senator Collins is taller than he looks, with a cordial gesture and an elegant appearance, kind and courteous. Something that im pressed us was his frankness and the way he unhesitatingly answer ed our questions with statements based on facts and figures. His 18 years of public life in Florida give Senator Collins an indisputable experience and capacity to head state affaris and his honesty and integrity —so far not even ques tioned by his opponent make |him the most suitable election candidate “My record as a representative and senator constitute proof of what my performance as a go- vernor would be”, Collins said. His record shows constant inter- est on his part to provide effec- tive help to Dade County and South Florida. The law provid- ing for construction of a turn- pike which would connect Jack- sonville and Miami with a mod- ern highway was fully supported and voted for by LeRoy Collins. The law for minimum school aid which meant over $10,000,000 for schoels in Miami was pro- moted ikrough Collins’ major efforts. ‘The law calling for re- apportionment of highly pop- ulated areas in order to provide better representation for them in the state legislature was also supported by LeRoy Collins. Collins’ legislative record is re- plete with support of measures for the benefit and progress of Florida. Senator Collins has been criti cized for having represented pow- erful itnerests. Questioned about this matter, the candidate replied: “I have represented in state courts big clients and small clients, wealthy people and poot people. But you can be sure of one thing —that no one would employ an |unfitted or dishonest lawyer. If | 1 knew that capacity, integrity and |a clean recdrd weren't porper qua- lifications for a governor, I would not be running for this post.” Our conversation turned to dis- cussion of the importance of Mia- mi in regard to the Latin Ameri- can countries.

Another pro ject contemplated by Collins is the formation of a group of busi- }nessmen, cultural representatives }and government officials for fos- |tering new bonds of friendship | with the Latin American cqodn- tries. Referring to support given him |by THE AMERICAS DAILY, Se- nator Collins expressed his grati- tude and said he fully shared our zeal for better understanding be- ween the Americas. Senator Collins is perfectly aware of the importance of the Latin American in Miami and mpa and of how they have con- ributed to the cultural and social life of the state. LeRoy Collins enthusiastical- ly pointed our to us some of his projects including things such constitutional revision, redist bution of state income, public service mai ance, ¢ rsion of the state’s natural resources, enlargement of Florida's three universities, progressive mea- sures to stimulate operation of new industries in Florida, new hospitals and highways, cons- truciion of rural roads, bridges, ete Collins’ platform what he calls an efficient administration run with mon sense and ability. | Because of a busy schedule |which is taking LeRoy Collins to every area of the state in his cam- paign, our talk with Senator Col- |lins had to come to an end.

S. Commerce Department an- nounced that some improvement had taken place in the Brazilian economic situation during the first quarter of this year mainly be- cause of larger dollar income from sale of Brazilian export products. Based on reports sent by the American embassy in Rio de Ja- neiro, an article which appeared in the magazine said: “The general economy of Bra- zil didn’t improve — substantially during the first quarter of 1954 although there are certain indi |tions that the country has a least |temporarily succeeded in weather- ing its most recent economic cri- sis. “One of the factors which con- tributed in an outstanding way to this moderately auspicious trend was the beneficial effect produc- ed by dollar income from export products which was greater than previously expected. “This factor is particularly sig- nificant because ot the widespread ficient foreign exchange to main- tain the low level of imports it /had planned in addition to taking opinion that Brazil might lack suf- | LARGER DOLLAR INCOME BOOSTING BRAZILIAN ECONOMY, WEEKLY SAYS Inflation, rising costs still weakening economy Ee BORE: care of its 1954 foreign tions, “The optimism which was gene- rated by an improvement in for- eign exchange income was in part dissipated by the disturbing — ef- fects of certain weaknesses still afflicting the national econom, such as continuous inflation, ri ing costs of living and some ind cations of social unrest “More than 3,400,000 bags of coffee were exported during the first quarter —a much larger vol- ume than that which had been timated by people who had an e' |aggeratedly disheartening opinion f the situation obliga- “Favorable price trends record- ed by the Brazilian coffee trade were accompanied by growing |steadiness on the cacao exchange.
