Sun-bathers on Rio's Ipanema Beach are treated to a naval show as the Brazilian aircraft carrier Minas Gerais sails by early Dec.14th, accompanied by helicopters and 7 other warships. A Navy source terms the naval parade "routine entertainment," but it came only hours after Pres Arthur de Costae Silva assumed, with military backing, near dictatorial powers.
