10 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., DECEMBER 23, 1928—PART T. BRAZIL AS FRIEN OF LS EADENGE Tribute to Hoover Cited. Rio Called Most Beautiful City in World. BY MARK SULLIVAN. B Radio_to The Star and New York Herald- Tribune. Copyright, 1928 RIO DE JANEIRO, December 22— When the President of the Brazilian ©hamber of Deputies in a public ad- dress describes the United States “the supreme inspirer of peace and f tetnity among the nations,” and Presi- dent-elect Hoover as “an altruistic su- perman,” it may be truthfully inferred thas the reception here is-on a high note. But the key of the reception is 0o more elevated than the facts of the eondition. The Brazilians are a folk, who, if they ¢hoose to say it at all, say it with Howers of language, but if the facts co mot seem to them to call for gracious- hess, they can be more expressively sil- ent than any Anglo-Saxon. The truth is that the Brazilians feel for the United States a friendship—and pracice with us a co-operation that is one of our principal pillars in our po- sition in the world. If Americans gen- erally were aware how deeply Brazil's friendship is prized. by our diplomats and others who have had occasion to eome in contact with the facts, the re- sult would be that every American in- dividual would make it his patriotic duty to seek opportunity to make ac- qualitance amd practice responsible friendship toward Brazil. Brazilians Remarkable People. The service would have abundant per- sonal rewards for all who undertook it. The Mrazilians are a unique and re- markable people. Rio de Janeiro is one of the great cities of the world in .the ordinary sense, and there is justification for say- . 'with considered superlativeness, that §t is literally the world’s most beautiful city. Its beauty is not ac- complished by any selective choosing of models of beauty from European cities. The loveliness of Rio de Janeiro is unique in the world and is in turn the direct indigenous expression of a peo- ple who possess a unique grace. In the entertainment here practically @very detail has been different from the corresponding detail in any other city. The peril of garishness. which in our own cities sometimes accgmpanies this form of decoration is absent from Rio. The Individual forms and colors taken by the lighted loops and pendants and columns and other figures along the avenue leading to the palace where Mr. Hoover is staying were never seen any- ‘where else. An instinctive and special grace, permeating every workman and prac- ticed in everything the city has done eince the original laying out of the streets and planting of the trees, has made this city an artist's vision of the ordinarily unattainable. Helpful Actions Remembered. The friendliness of Brazil for the United States in everything having to o with international relations has sev- eral foundations. Certain helpful actions by us at the beginning of Brazil's in- dependence are remembered here as if they happened yesterday. In practically every speech welcom- Mr. Hoover, mention was made of the fact that one of the early Brazilian martyrs to independence went to the scaffold carrying in the pocket of his death garments a copy of the Constitu- tion of the United States. Help toward mutual friendship and toward standing by each other in in- ternational relations arises from the fact that in an.econgmic sense the.tiwo countries .are complementary to each other. Brazil is a tropical country, pro- ducing what we need but cannot raise ourselves, and vice ve: as a Senate reporter. By the Assoclated Press. ‘The nimblest fingers and the quickest brain' in the United States Senate. That is the universal tribute to Theo- dore F. Shuey, dean of official report- ers of debates, who celebrated his six- tieth anniversary as a Senate reporter yesterday. Since 1868 Mr. Shuey has been mak- ing his pen skim over the paper record- ing debates which have ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous. He is known as the nurse of limping phrases, having doctored up thousands of halt- ing sentences and mixed metaphors. The Senate convenes. The roll called. Senators sit down at their desks a moment, then drift to the cloakroom. But Theodore Shuey never moves from his seat. His pen records every word. Somebody begins a long speech. He cannot talk too fast or too learnedly for that methodically moving pen. The best orator on the floor Is likely to have his speech patched up and knit together or smoothed out by this thick-set, bald dean of reporters. Shuey takes full liberty with copy and the Senators are grateful. “If the speeches were to appear in the Congressional Record just as they are delivered the Record would soon be abolished,” he says. Reporters Must “Get It AlL” No matter how many Congressmen begin talking at once while the Speaker pounds for order, the reporter is supposed to record eve! g. “Get it all,” is the motto. The Senate re- porters divide their time into 15-minute shifts. When one’s time is up another takes his place. The first one goes to the reporters’ office adjoining the Sen- ate chamber, where he reads his notes into a recording disk. Many times a day each of the reporters appears on the floor. Only one takes notes at a time. He is res) for his part of the day's proceedings. Although he has made a good living from listening to other people talk for 60 years, Mr. Shuey himself has little to say. Pressed for comparisons, ex- presses the opinion that Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts was the great- est orator the Senate has seen in the last half century, though Senator John Sherman of Ohio was probably the most effective. He thinks Vice President Dawes one of the best presiding officers the Senate ever had. Sees Decline in Oratory. “The Senate gets moredone’ today even if there are mot so many pic- turesque figures as in the past,” he says.

SHUEY Is 83, but his nimble fingers still transcribe into shorthand the swift debate of the United States Senate. He shortly will celebrate his sixtieth anniversary is | ha “Oratory will never pass away, though there is much less of it now.” ‘The Dean of the Flymg Pen saw the system of Senate reporting develop al- most from its inception. He worked with Richard Sutton, an Englishman, who was sent to Washington as the first correspondent for the New York Her- ald. In those days the proceedings of Congress were not printed in the Con- gressional Record, but merely in ‘Washington newspapers. In 1848, seeing Sutton's value, the Senate engaged him as stenographic reporter. Twenty years later Sutton took on Shuey, who d come to Washington from his home in Staunton, Va., looking for a job. —_— Winnipeg and Calgary, Canada, are to be connected by an air passenger and express service.

By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, December 22.—The fate of the two Italians accused of abduct- ing 10-year-old Billy Ranieri and hold- ing him for $60,000 ransom was in- trusted to a jury in criminal court at 9:42 tonight, with the State demanding death sentence. Assistant State’s Attorney Samuel Hoffman trained his attack ‘on Angelo Petitti, saloon owner, and Andrew Cap- pellano. On these two' he laid the blame for the kidnaping of 10-years-old Billy Ranieri and his being held captive ('m s, ., h ere made on the father, A. Frank Ranieri, Italian contractor. Defense counsel received its first threatening letter today, when Attorney Benjamin Short was advised by one who signed “a white man who means business” that he ought to be shoi for defending Petitti and the Cappellanos. The case, interrupted by the killing of a principal witness, disappearance of 10 others and the frequent arrival of epistles containing dire threats, was ex- pected to be in the hands of the jury before tomorrow. Each session of the trial has seen police lining the court- room and spectators questioned and searched for weapons before being ad- mitted. “The evidence against Angelo Petitti allows of no doubt—the evidence shlod\\'s them to be guilty,” the prosecutor said. Rumble Thought Caused by Quake. CHARLOTTE, N. C, December 22 (#).—Residents of the northeast part of Charlotte reported. a distinct rumble and shake about 9:30 o'clock tonight which they called an earthquake.
