The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-03-27

loved enVOyS CO CnlS caplCal The gentleman in question is Oswaldo Aranha, ambassador from Brazil, ex-gauch, fighter in many revolutions, keen student of the United States, and keener student of human nature.
 At present Aranha is on leave in Brazil, where a hot campaign is being waged prior to the presi- dential nominations to be held in May. Aranha returned to Brazil in order to receive President Roosevelt, later to serve as a dele- gate to the Buenos Aires Con- ference
 He declined at first to leave Washington, saying: If I go down there I shall get mixed up in politics." And he was right.
 ''I don't want to run for ,presi- dent" Aranha told friends before his departure. "What Brazil needs Is 8 nurse. I'm. 3 sur- geOn." .a.
 However, his friend President Vargas, whom Aranlla made presi- dent in 1880, demanded his re- turn, later pushed him into the political arena.
 Twice Wounded
 Oswaldo Aranha is only 43 years old. But into that period he has squeezed two lifetimes. Son of wealthy cattle-rancher in Rio Grande do Sul, southernmost province of Brazil, he studied at the Military College of RIO de Janeiro, and at the law school of the university, then was sent to the swank Ecole des Hautes Etudes Sociales in Paris, and came home to plunge into politics. At the age of only 32 he was mayor of his home city, Alegrete and at the age of B he was leader of a revolutionary army.
 When Aranha calls himself 3 surgeon" not 8 nurse, he prob ably is thinking of the five dif- ferent revolutions he led in 6 years. It is easy for hinl to, rec. member them, fer he still has . bullet in one shoulder and a heel partly shot away. {, ,g'A 2 Ft fI
 In the last revolution, Aranha spent year in the saddle. sel- dom slept indoors, and quit only after he had busted President Washington Ltiiz in 193O. It was the State Departments perr1tssioti to sell munitions and airplanes to LuiZ government which gave Sec- retary Henry L. Stimson the nick name of "WrOng Horse Harry" He bet on the wrong horse. Gun Threat
 ATanha may be a political sur- geon, but he is also one of the most sagaciolis students of human nature Washington has known.
 When young lawyer with no cases and no clients. he heard of a man who had killed a police- man in the neighboring city of Lagoa. and immediately went there to defend him.
