SWEDISH LEGATION
ATTACHE SAYS NAZI
COUP BIG SURPRISE
Ake Sjolin, Pinehurst Visitor,
Says Putsch' Succeeded Be
cause it Was Unexpected;
Silent on Country’s Position.
By Douglas Doak
A Pinehurst visitor to whom
the recent coup of the Nazi
government strikes closely home
is Ake Sjolin, attache to the
Royal Swedish Legation in
Washington.
“My presence here,” said Mr.
Sjolin, “is an indication of how
sudden and unexpected the re
cent Scandinavian crisis was to
my legation. At first I thought
I should have to return imme
diately to Washington, but I
have talked with the legation
over the telephone and it will
be possible for me to remain un
til the end of the week.”
Mr. Sjolin, a guest at the
Holly Inn, came here Monday
to snatch a week’s rest and re
laxation from the press of dip
lomatic affairs.
He has been in this country
for a year and a half, having
first come here as a member of
the staff at the Swedish consu
late in Chicago. He has been
in Washington for the past four
months. This is his first vaca
tion since coming to America,
and he' <4bse Pinehurst because
of the excellent facilities it of
fers riding enthusiasts^.
