Bffczills national capital is set i amidst unsurpassed natural gran- ' deur. Every glance in every di- 1 rection presents a picture of 1 beautiful scenery. ] Of particular interest to this writer is the f&ct that in all Bra- ( zil, in fact in all South America, every skin shade is in evidence. The races and colors are c so inter-mingled that it is quite obvious they have a common blood stream. Racial discrimination, segregation and jirp crow, as practiced : in America, do not exist here. ' * In fact, lily-whites are undesirable in this land of Latin-America. Having traveled in all parts of the world, I "was surprised and somewnat awea to ttnd that Am ericans are unnoticed and completely "out of the picture" in Latin America. In Europe and other countries an American is an eye-catcher and a thrill. Here, they don't even speak the Bngliah language.

C. ul 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 Lhan Kankakee or Kalamazoo s< have to the metropoliton New] L York straphanger. It's in ?nnt.h- N er^vorld, and they don't have to w worry about the White House, h Congress and income taxes. J Rio De Janeiro, the fabulous al ;ity of more than 2 million is e-1 the nearest thing to Paris that I vl have seen. One of Rio's most a tlirilling spectacles is the status 3f Christ the Redeemer which) a stands on Carcovado Mountain, ^ 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 'auto rid*? ;along the u spacious Copacabana Beach that j circles miles along the water1, r front and Rio Harbor. I continu-' q ed through Ponte do Inferno, i Alto Boa Vista, and Cascatinha, \ thence through Estrado Velha da1 F Tijuca to Furnas de Agas-iz.; Here a cable car is taken for . c ascent of theSugar Loaf Mountain for a fascinating view of ' the city, buys, beaches, ocean and surrounding mountain-. I shall never forget the 125 j foot grdnite statue of Christ the, Redeemer that adorns the Moun-i i to-S^lfby the government of! France. A visitor will not likely ever forget the view fr m Su-j gar Loaf peak (1,800 feet) atsunset a* the thousands of lights! come on all over the city. From the summit of Corcovu-! do Mountain, towering 2,300 feet' above Rio, there is a breathtak- I ing view of the city ... the; I mosaic sidewalks of the Aveni-j| da Rio Branca, and the natural I grandeur and color of this w n- I dcr city oi the world. I Avicnda Rio Bianco i- tho'(l Broadway of Rio and the widest w joulevard is Aviendu President |3 Vargas, named for the famous m former President. Avienda ffl Tranklin D. Roosevelt pays tribute to -our famous-American ^resident. 1 Along Copacabana highway aong the waterfront are the Ju j Tuba ice cream carts plying their xade similar to the custom at! J \tlantic City. The cost of living seems to >e much out of line in compari- , on to other parts of Latin-A- i neiiiry. The most economical ( ommodity, I learned, was a full ? luart bottle of beer for twenty ] ents.

Dr. Weaver's article is a reprint of an address originally delivered at the National Conference on Discrimination in Housing, in New York City on May 20, 1952. Under Title 1 of the National Hou*ing Act of 1949, Dr Weaver states, slum clearance has *omc to mean "Negro clearance," with thousands of Negro families displaced by -lum clearance urograms.
