As Goulart sought to rally forces loyal to him, Gen. Humberto Castello Branco, chief of the army general staff, and two other high commanders declared they had swung to the rebel cause. Justice Minister Abelardo Jurema announced that units of the still- loyal 3rd Army had been sent from Rio Grande do Sul to attack the rebellious 2nd Army's base in the industrial center of Sao Paulo, 220 miles southwest of Rio. Goulart also ordered troops to move against Juiz de Fora, in Minas Gerais State 80 miles north of Rio where the revolt erupted Tuesday, and against Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais.

A rebel radio proclaimed Juiz de Fora the "revolutionary capital." Rebel broadcasts said the vanguard of Gen. Amaury Kruel and a force of 30,000 led by Gen. Olimpio Mourao, commander of the 4th Military Region at Belo Horizonte, were converging on Rio de Janeiro to try to depose Goulart. A proclamation announcing their switch to the rebel cause was signed by the chief of staff and Gens. Arthur da Costay Silva and Decio Palmeiro Escobar.

It charged that Goulart had "placed himself in open illegality through successive attempts against the just practice of the democratic regime." Downtown Rio was virtually deserted this morning as a general strike, called by the Communist- dominated general confederation of workers in support of Goulai't, paralyzed transport. Government trains operating out of Rio were stopped and interstate buses were halted. The chief of the Commercial Aviators Union went on the government network to urge pilots, navigators and other commercial aviation employes to stay off the job today. International wireless companies continued operating. The Merchant Marine Union, dock workers and other maritime workers joined the strike in Rip.

A spokesman for the union said all merchant ships had been placed at Goulart's disposal.

Hungarian Leader Pledges Support To Premier Khrushchev Budapest, Hungary, April Khrushchev today ridiculed the Communist Chinese for trying to spread world revolution on an empty stomach and urged Hungarians to work harder to help overtake the West. "If we could promise people nothing better than revolution, they would scratch their heads and say, 'Isn't' it better to have good goulash'," Khrushchev said. The visiting Soviet leader did not mention Red China by name in a speech to workers at a Budapest factory on the second day of his visit to Hungary. But his target obviously was at his Chinese adversaries in the ideological conflict between Moscow and Peking.

Applause showed that the workers knew the target. "There are people in the world who call themselves Communists and Marxist-Leninists and at the same time say that we should not strive for a better life but make i-evolution," Khrushchev said. Hungarian premier Janos Kadar pledged new support for the Soviet Union Tuesday night in a banquet toast to Khrushchev.

The Montana senator told reporters he fears a southern filibuster may tie up the Senate through the presidential nominating conventions this summer. Republicans meet in San in July and Democrats in Citv, N. in August. "I wouldn't be surprised if we go through both conventions on this bill," Mansfield said. He added "that if this happens the Senate probably will recess briefly for the party meetings." "I always anticipate the worst and hope for the best," Mansfield Sen.

Hubert H. Humphrey, D- who joined Mansfield at that point, said he hopes the Senate won't be tied up that long. Humphrey, floor manager for the House-passed civil rights bill, said it is conceivable that the filibuster cannot be broken for months. But he added: "I am optimistic. I think we can get this bill passed in reasonable time if we just buckle down and work." The Senate argument was centered for the time being on bill's voting rights sections which backers called a modest step toward winning the ballot for more Negroes in the south.

Sen. Philip A. Hart, gave this description of the section in a prepared speech, explaining that he personally "would prefer a more direct and positive approach to the problem." "I would prefer, in fact, that postmasters or other local federal officials be made registrars whenever it is found that state or local election machinery is supporting Bulletin Rio de Janeiro, April Gov.
