BRAZILIAN POLICE PUT A STOP TO SUBVERSIVE BLOUSES

Six blouses on display in a stylish shop in Rio de Janeiro were seized by the political police November 16. Accused of subversion, the owner of the shop, Miss Regina Viera de Melo, stated that in having the blouses made up, she had no intention of "creating a guerrilla atmosphere in Brazil."

The police replied grimly that each of the blouses was decorated with a portrait of Che Guevara and that in Brazil it is impossible to permit effigies of that man to be sold.
