sees "grave political results" if the

and Development refuses to change its
attitude on certain Brazilian railway
Lafer said that the commission, which he
hopes will not be allowed to expire on the scheduled date of 31
March, is regarded by President Vargas and his administration
as well as by the public as the measure of US sincerity in helping
