OULD BE INTERVIENING, A RECENTLY RETURNED MAJOR-GENERAL (PERKINS)(7) ON WHOM OUR HIGH COMMISSIONER IN NICOSIA HAD COMMENTED FAVOURABLY. HE IS REGARDED AS PARTICULARLY STRONG ON MAN MANAGE- MENT WHICH THE GOVERNOR REGARDED AS CRUCIAL. HE WAS ALSO HOPEFUL THAT SIX SUPERINTENDENTS AND CHIEFSUPERINTENDENTS WOULD BE APPOINTED BY APRIL WITH MORE LATER IN THE YEAR. LORD GOROMWY-ROBERTS SAID THAT HE WAS ATTRACTED TO THE IDEA OF APPOINTING AN OUTSIDER TO NUMBER TWC JOB.
4. THE GOVERNOR SAID THAT HE WAS VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO MICHAEL STEWART'S VISIT. HE WONDERED HOWEVER WHETHER IN VIEW OF THE IMMINENCE OF A NUMBER OF PRODLEMS IT MIGHT BE MORE SENSIBLE FOR JOHN STEWART TO REMAIN AT HIS DESK IN LONDON. HE HINTED THAT IT MIGHT ALSO BE OF ADVANTAGE FOR MICHAEL STEWART TO BE ALLOWED TO REACH HIS OWN CONCLUSIONS. LORD GORONWY ROBERTS ASSURED THE GOVERNOR THAT MICHAEL STEWART WOULD DO THIS ANYWAY AND ADDED THAT HE CONSIDERED IT ESSENTIAL FOR JOHN STEWART TO COME.
