Bgiv ? - 6?LIGHTHOUSE arid INF( Z?Rio, - The Beauti: Big Boost From By Floyd Snelson RIO DE JANEIRO, (Global)? Bl^azills national capital is set amidst unsurpassed natural gran dour. Every glance in every dF rection presents a picture of beatttiful scenery. Of particular interest to this Wilier Is the fact that in all Bra 7 zil, ih fact in all South Ameri11 ca, every skin shade is in evidence. The races and colors are so inter-mingled that it is quite Obvious they have a common ' blood stream. Racial discrimination, segregation and jim crow, as practiced "in America, do not exist here. In fact, lily-whites are undesirable in this land of Latin-Ameri ca. Having traveled in all parts of the world, I was surprised and somewhat awed to find that Americans are unnoticed and com pletely "out of the picture'' in Latin America. In Europe' and other countries a? American is an eye-catcher arid, a thrill. Here, they don't even spea'k the Snglishr language.

C. fill City, Gets A Floyd Snelson many people and find that New York and the United States have no magic lure for these people. This country has no more appeal than Kankakee or Kalainazoo have to the metropoliton New Y^>rk straphanger. It's in another world, and they don't have to| Congress and income taxes. Rio De Janeiro, the fabulous city of more than 2 million is' the nearest thing to Paris that 1 have seen. One of Bio's most thrilling spectacles is the status of Christ the Redeemer which stands, on Carcovado Mountain,1 much like the Statue of Liberty in 'New York Harbor, and can be seen for miles at sea. The trip to the Mountain was | beautiful aubj 1 idle Jalong thtT spacious Copaeabana Beach that circles miles along the water front and Rio Harbor. I continued through Ponte do Inferno, Alto Boa Vista, and Cascatinha, thence through Estrado Velha da Tijuca to Furnas de Agas-iz. Here a cable car is taken for ascent of thoSuear I.oaf Monn tain for a fascinating view ol * the city, bays, beaches, ocean and surrounding mountains. I shall never forget the 125 foot granite statue of Chris! the Redeemer that adorns the Mountain. The statue was pre-cnted to Brazil by the government of France. A visitor will not likely ever forget the view fr m Sugar Loaf peak (1,8<)0 Jeet) at sunset as the thousands of lights come on all, over the city. From the summit of Corcovado Mountain, towering 2,300 feet above Rio, there is a breathtakI ing view -of the city . . . _the mosaic sidewalks of the Avoni^i da Rio Branco, and the natural grandeur and color of this wen-! dcr city of the world. | Avienda Rio Bianco i> the!

The cost of living seem> to be much out of line in compari-j son to other parts of Lgtin-Americ-a." The most economical, commodity, ! learned, was a full quart bottle of beer for twenty cents.

Clement-Aiken Squabble Over Weekly's Stand CHARLESTON - A mild squabble between A. J Clement, Jr., president of the Charleston NAACP chapter an-i di-trirt manager f r the North Carolina Mutu;*l Life Insurance Company. and Arthur W Aiken, ediof a weekly now-paper, The Chariest n Herald is going on here. It seems that the whole matter developed a few weeks ago when The Herald, set and print rd outside of Charleston, inadvertently failed to capitalize the word "Negro." Spanking the paper f r this faux pas, Mr Clement asked in a letter to the paper why It wasn't pos-ihle to have it print ed in Charleston, and t^1 take a poxitiorr ore wiw--of controversial issues about it. Editor Aiken came bd k to explain that the failure to capitalize the w rd "Negro" was a typogxaplucal crroiv not- tho policy of the paper.
