AMLASH also trusts AOI? explicitly, as evidenced i i ! by his remark tous that AMSHIP was the only one whom he felt that he a . : could fully trast and to whom he could speak openly. Of course, he did speak openly at length to us at the behest of KM<EIP, but it ie also . obvious that he does not tell us everything, AMP has ziven good advice | in the handling of AMLASH, but, as he has a tendency to interpret AMLASH's . revirks and ‘feelings aubjectively, and to atterpt to sulde us a eit too much, {t might te wise to eliminate in later portions of the tales in Paris. - | With a Spanish-speakinz 6/0, thie should not bé too eiffieult to 4o, and ‘without alfenatin: AM<HIP, AMSHIP has no clandest!ne training to speak of, as evidenced by his actions in this case.
