FAvoRs SWEDISH ADVISERS

Ads Ababa, Ethiopia-AP-
Swedes lead the list of advis-
ers to the Ethiopian government
in both numbers and influence.
Most observers believe this is
because Sweden, although far
distant geographically, it not an
imperialist nation and has no
colonies in Africa nor any CO.
lonial ambitions.
There are 140 Swedes in the
service of the Ethiopian govern
ment and 800 in the country,
including women and children.
Their duties range from training
the Emperor's imperial guards to
supervising gold mines and do
ing educational, medical and mis-
sionary work. A eSwede directs
the Ethiopian air force. others
are conducting a police school.
Another heads Ethiopia's most
modern hospital.

New Delhi, India-With the re-
newal of Afghanistan's claim for
the return of tribal territory in
1ndia's turbulent northwest from
tier the future government of that
rugged border territory probably
will find it their biggest problem
to keep the lawless and blood
thirsty Pathan in check. Possible
Afghan intrigue and the unex-
planned and sudden replacement
of the Russian ambassador in Ka-
bull lend support to the belief in
political quarters that a period of
great turmoil may be ahead of
people living west of the lazy
flowing River Indus.
Whether the Pakistan domin-
ion government is able to control
the frontier province depends on
the strength of the hold which
Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, the
Frontier Gandhi", Congress
Pathan leader, has over the from
tier people after Aug. Is, the day
of the transfer of British power
to Indian hands. The frontier Con-
gress is making capital out of the
Pathans' ingrained hatred of Pun
jabi with their new slogan of
"Pathanistan."
It is predicted in some quart
ers that the Frontier Gandhi"
is likely to pay a visit to Kabul
in the next few months although
inquiries show that no applica-
ton for q passport has been made.
Commentators in Afghan news
papers have urged revision of the
Angla-Afghan treaty and are
pressing the Afghan government
to take the matter to the United

London Is Back
To Its Old Self as
| Eros Returns
By the Associoted Pres,

LONDON, June 28.-They placed
Eros back on his pedestal in Picca-
dilly Circus today and Londoners
packed the pavements 10-deep for
the homecoming.
Several million American veterans
remember Piccadilly Circus-that t
blacked-out expanse in the heart of
London. They remember, too, a
wooden monstrosity, papered over
with government advertising in the
center Of the Circus.
When they asked what that was.
Londoners always replied in a
startled way: why, that's Eros-or
at least where he was"
Eros, they said was a statue
which had stood there since 1898.
He was a happy little fellow with a
bow in his hand and no clothes on.
They knew he was a symbol of
peace, prosperity and security
three things lacking when the
bombs were falling on London night
after night.
Hes gone to the country for
safekeeping, and that wooden stuff
is just to protect his fountain" Lon
doners said But he'll be back one
day when the war is over. And
thatll be a day, make no mistake!"
This was the day. The papers
were full of Eros. They argued
about how he got his name They
couldn't agree on whether it was
pronounced Err-os or Aaa-ros or
even Eee-ros.. But on one thing,
they did agree. With the statue
back, London would be itself again.

Says He Is Assured
BY the Asseeiesed Press

Chairman Wiley of the. Senate
judiciary Committee declared yes
terday he is assured subcommit-
tees investigation of the nomina-
ton of Philip B, Perlman. OF
Baltimore, to be Solicitor General,
has mo political implications what
soever."
In letter to D. Lindley Sloan,
Cumberland, Md. attorney, Senator
Wiley said the assurance was given
him by subcommittee Chairman
Ferguson.
Senator Wiley added the inquiry
is directed solely Ito the propes
discharge of the subcommittee's
function of securing the best avail
able information on the nominees
qualifications and background-not
only in the public interest but also
in the interest of the nominee
so that he is not placed in the
unfair position of having left for
ever unanswered, accusations
against him.
Sloan Asked Report.
Mr.. Sloan had written Senator
Wiley asking that the Judiciary
Committee report favorably and
without delay" Mr.. Perlman's
nomination.
The Cumberland attorney said
the nomination was held by the
subcommittee without any public
action for more than three months,
that hearings since were conduct
ed in such way as to delay
and defeat the nomination, and
that Mr.. Perlman has not been
given a fair and impartial hear
ing"
Senator Wiley replied he shared
Mr.. Sloan's interest in obtaining
las expeditions conclusion to the
consideration of this nomination
as is consistent with an honest COM
plete approval of the nominees
qualifications and background"
He told Mr.. Sloan he will urge
Senator Ferguson to expedite the
subcommittee's action all possible
consistent with a thorough and
proper study"
Speaking for myself" he wrote.
II can assure you that i will ap-
proach this nomination as I have

proach, and I feel certain that the
