JBB shows me a telegram from iJanoe1 Ferreira&vina total
                             instead of the
                             that it woula be

  "desoobida" if' the RF did not assum this deficit.  I point out that idF told us
(JBB and maelf) in Fortalezer when we were having the preli8tinary discussions that
his budget would take care of payrolls, at least until the 1st of February 1939,

-c- JBB confirms this and adds that W only asLed for 2,5CO contos for the service for
1939 a&though it now appears that he spent 1,327 cantos in three months 1 I also
point out that there is some of the mterial which we would be justified in taking
  over at cost , i.e. such uaterials as Paris green, atebrine, etc. but that these
articles have probabb already beeb paid and that mny item remaining: on f,ilD lib&d
list are such as we would not care to present either to the Caovsrnmnt or to We iii!.

JBB knows details of expenditures made by Ceoar Pinto.

              JBB shows telegrams from Dr. Bouhid and Walter Silva aaking
to ccma to the 8outh of Brazsil to work in malark on the @a that their otiligation
is fulfilled once the RF takes over the service.   I assure JBB that I a?n 2~3 the
action is taken at least by Dr. Bouhid without the knowledge of DEW and that Bouhid
has not been fired by DBR.  (Vfe both agree that HS is weak and that there is-no
reason for keeping M in the North,             tr
                        _  I c;iscuss the publication of ijecio Parreiras regarding
priority in Viscerotomy arm tnc m&ing of the Viscerotorne.  I tell him.that ay only
surprise is that the artfcle was delayed 8 years in appearing f I try to p1a&e JBB
and the Government responsible for Df's publication but JBB insists that all of
his assistants - incl+ding DP - have full freedom to publish what they will. he
suggests presenting our doo~\@.lts proving that DP is wrong on all counts.   I insist
that it would be bet+;er f.0~ all concerned if DP retracts after seei% our proofs.
JSB finally agrees to bring DP tind Fontsnelle,  the editor of the Folha tiedica to
see the docurmnts next weeic.
