By Katharine M. Brooks

Another Embassy will be added
to the forty-five already established
in the nations capital. And there
is promise of new building to
house this newly raised mission.
The present Swedish Minister,
Mr.. Herman Ericsson, has been
selected to be the first Ambassador
of His Majesty Gustav v of Sweden
And it is understood that after he
presents his credentials in this Ca
pacity, his foreign office will au-
thorize the purchase of a new build
ing for his residence as well as for
the chancery offices.
Mr.. Eriksson and his very attrac-
tive wife have resided at the present
legation at 2249 r street since they
came to Washington in 1e45. They
have done much to modernize the
place for Nine Eriksson is keenly
alert to all things that make house,
keeping easier. A dish washing ma
chine is Nine. Erikssons latest Sc
lection-and she knows how to run
1t herself.
The Ambassador designate sue
ceeded Mr.. Wollmar Bostrom at
this post and he and his wife have
followed in their footsteps in max
ing friends for their country.
DELEGATES to Be Feted
The first party that the newly
selected Ambassador and Nine.
Eriksson will give after his eleva-
ton will probably be a reception
for their Foreign Minister, Mr..
Osten linden. Mr.. linden will ar
rive in New York the end of the
week to attend the sessions of the
United Nations. He will be accom-
panied by the Swedish Minister to
the Soviet Union, Mr.. Rolf Sohlman
and Nine. Sohlman.
The Sohlmans are close friends
of Mr.. and Nine. Eriksson and they
will come to the Capital for visit
with them before returning to
Sweden.
= Mr.. Eriksson is going to attend
the United Nations sessions and so
he will see his countrymen in New
York before they come to Wash
ington. Nine. Eriksscn is planning
to join her husband in the metropo-
lis before the close of the sessions
and so she also will have the op-
portunity of being with her Swe-
dish friends before they arrive in
this city.
Parties will be given along en-
bassy row for other delegates to
the United Nations. The Undersec-
retary of the Chilean Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, Senor Manuel
Trucco will be feted here.
Son of Former ENJOY
The Trucco name is very familiar
In Washington, where the Under
secretary's father, Senor Manuel
Trucco was Ambassador for some
years. And the Chilean officials
two sisters, Mrs. Robert A. Knowl-
ton and Mrs. Fernando Illanes still
live here. Senor Trucco was married
in 1941 to Senorita Lucia Piedra-
buena Richard of Santiago, but un-
fortunately she is not coming to. this
country with him.
The brief visit this week of DR..
Adolfo Costa du Rails, who heads
the Bolivian delegation to the
United Nations, will be the reason
for several small and informal par
ties among those who have known
him during previous visits. DR..
Costa was the last president of the
League of Nations and has served
in many international conferences
and meetings.
Prime Minister Nokrasky, Egypt's
delegate to the U. N, was in Wash
ington for a day or so last week,
coming down from New York with
the Ambassador, Mr.. Vassili G.
Dendramis. They are back in New
York preparatory to the opening
of the conferences.
