FRIDAY. OCTOBER T. 1954 THE ARIZONA DAILY STAR SECTION PAGE SEVEN Gorilla Outgrowing Information Officer Has Tough Assignment Home Of Owner HOUSTON. Sept. 11 Orchestra Will Stage Concertino Premiere By BRIAN STORM In line with the Tucson Symphony orchestra's policy of presenting, a new work on each program, or of performing the work of a composer with Tucson or southwest ties, the Tucson Svmphony opens its first concert of the new season with a world premiere of a most unusual orchestral work as the feature.

C. B. Greer asked the city council today to help solve his rapidly growing problem 4-year-old Hugo the gorilla. The real estate man wants a private home built for Hugo at the' Herman Park zoo. Otherwise, Greer explained, Hugo will have to be sold.

fellow we never had seen before, came up and offered to help. After watching awhile he left, but scon he was "back, in overalls. He was a mechanic for an auto firm. We were inside by this time, and for five hours he helped us sweep up the bits of broken glass. "That," said Purcell.

"I like to remember most of all." Frederic Balazs, beginning his Hugo now is residing in the Greer' home. "He weighs SO pounds now and By ARTHUR EDSOX WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.P) So you're far from home, in Porto Alegre. a city in the southern tip of Brazil. The city's 450.000 inhabitants rarely see an American and their ideas about the United States are at best, vague; at worst, completely wrong.

A Communist-inspired newspaper and radio works hard to see to it that this country is never mentioned except unfavorably. Your job: To win friends for the United States. How would you go about it? The man who tries to answer this question, 30-yearKld Edward T. Purcell, is home on leave with his wife and six Portuguese-speaking children from his job as the U.S. Information agency man in Porto Alegre.

jcnes," Purcell said, "there aren't W) Americans in Porto Ale gre." And that figure is reached only by including the populous Purcells. Fortunately, Purcell said, the four major newspapers in the city print a lot offoreign news, and on those rare times visiting Americans drop by, the papers show a lively interest in them. Movies supplied by the agency also are enthusiastically received, he said, especially in the country. "Sometimes a whole school or church shows up," Purcell said. "It's a perfect captive audience, sine-? they're so eager to be captured.

Walt Disney has drawn an anti-Communist cartoon, all about chickens invaded by a red fox. It goes over big." Purcell likes the exchange program which brings visiting foreign teachers to this country. 'One of the girls from the Bra. zilian state we're in came here. and was sent to Vermillion, S.D., I think it was.

Anyway, Vermillion went all out for her, and she was so carried away with her reception she jeven wrote Sen. Mundt her thanks. "The same thing happens everywhere. They all come back, sold on this country." Yet there are many who aren't sold, as was proved only a month ago after President Getulio Vargas' suicide. As soon as the word spread that Vargas was Purcell said everything closed down.

That asn't surprising in holiday-loving Brazil. "Nothing- moves faster," he said, "than a Brazilian office closing down." But what was surprising Were the riots. Purcell said he suspects the practiced hand of the Communists, for 'anti-American feeling ran high, offices of U.S. firms were attacked and a night club named f'Boite Americano" was smashed, even though it was American in name only, being run by a couple of people from Uruguay." "The consulate is on the seventh floor of an office building," Purcell said, "and the mob started at the bottom and worked up. On the way up they even smashed offices of doctors who were Vargas close friends Vargas came from this state.

When they reached us, they tore us up completely. They ruined everything." Still, the picture isn't entirely black. "After it was over," he said, "it wis amazing how many people went out of their way to say how, sorry they were and to offer help. "Let me tell you one incident. The consul" and I were in the street, trying to salvage some of the burnt ends of our papers; A he's growing bv leaps and bounds," Greer said.

Standing about the March 29 concert in which patrons were supposed to indicate their choice of two works on the program. It had been rumored that there was a choice between a concert version of "Parsifal," and excerpts from "Boris Godounov." It will be Balazs said, adding that Desire Ligeti, bass-baritone of the San Francisco Opera company will be soloist of the evening. Norwegian Steamship Grounded In Fog ESCANABA. Sept 30.
