Protests In Brasilia
(N.Z. Press Assn.— Copyright) BRASILIA, Mar. 20. Eight hundred unemployed construction workers demonstarted in Brasilia today. Fifteen policemen were injured by the rock-throwing rioters who besieged a police station. Yesterday, three thousand unemployed construction workers wrecked a municipal building and picketed President Joao Goulart’s Palace. As was the case yesterday, a Government spokesman placated the workers with promises of early jobs. Building has been at a standstill here for months. Tension has been mounting in Brazil since Mr Goulart confiscated Brazil's six last privately owned oil refineries last week and decreed the expropriation of lands adjoining public utilities for distribution to peasants.
