SOVIET CLAIMS FOOTHOLD IN ETHIOPIA

By WALTER KOLARZ

SEMI-OFFICIAL Soviet source has trium- phantly announced that pro-Soviet ten-· dencies are growing in the heart of Africa, in the independent empire of Ethiopia.

A long report published by the popular Russian magazine, Ogonyok, on the country of Emperor Halla Selassie indirectly confirmed the Impression of British colonial experts that Ethiopia has been car-marked by the Kremlin as the centre of Soviet activities for central and eastern Africa.

The colonial experts have claimed for some time that Sovlet' propaganda penetrated from Addis Ababa, the Ethioplan capital, into Kenya, Uganda, Somaliland and other African territories.

Ogonyok, which sent a special correspondent to Ethiopia, asserted that "the Ethiopians have extremely warm feelings towards Soviet Russia." Also: "The word Russia is for the Ethiopians tantamount to friendship and mutual respect,"

"Presented by Staff and Faculty of Shrivenham American University to the British Army in conmemoration at of the University's residence Shrivenham Barracks 1st Aug. to 5th Dec., 1845."

Now, in these same buildings, the Brish Army hns created its own university with a student population -of-some four hundre+l officers. This Military College of Science will have the role of educating officers in pure selence and technology so that they may be capable of appreciating the scientist's and engineer's problems in relation to the technological aspects of war, It will also train officers to apply their military knowledge and experience to these problems, so that they may later advise on the design and development of millary mute- rial.

The results of the first efforts of this Army university, which is only two years old, and thus in its ex- treme infancy, are encouraging and reveal that its work appears to be on the right lines. The first young offers still have lecturers.

The College has two major func-worl tions. To give a university training in engineering or the natural sciences to young officers who have recently the Royal Military graduated from Academy at Sandhurst, and also to instruct more senior officers in milli tary technology in order to qualify them for appointments in the Minis- try of Supply or as Technical Staff Ofeers in the Army itself.

The Ogonyok special correspon- dent visited the exhibition and recorded a "gigantic interest in what is going on in the far away Soviet land." That applied, in the view of the correspondent, equally to Elhi- oplan soldiers, peasants, workers and civil servants.
