S. PAGEANT TURN! HIAT DOWN AT MIGHT TURNS HIAT UP IN THI MORNING By MILTON BRONNER LONDON, May summer, Just 300 years after a small band of Swedish emigrants sailed for what Is now the United States and founded colonies, first in Delaware and later In Pennsylvania, another band of Swedes will leave their native country to set foot on American soil. The men and women of 1638 were hardy folk who left their native land to build a new home for themselves and, as they hoped, a new Sweden for their Queen. Their vessel was a little sail boat, the Calmar Nyckel. They faced the CROWN PRINCE ODSTAV ADOLF dangers of an unknown country and the passible menace, not only of disease and famine, but of Indians.

The men and women of 1938 will be representative of all that is best in Swedish life and of all classes of society, from Crown Prince Gustav Adolf and the Crown Princess to notable delegates of the Trades Union Congress. Their vessel will be the luxury liner Kungsholm. Their only danger will be the possibility of fatigue from the eager hospitality that will be lavished upon them. Sweden Is participating in the tercentenary of the first Swedish colonies in the United States in a big way. First, a popular subscription was taken up for a fund with which to touild an enduring monument at Wilmington, Del.

The celebrated Swedith sculptor. aCrl Milles, was given the task of producing the permanent memorial. It will be of black granite representing the Calmar Nyckrl. Around the pillar will be depicted scenes from the life of the first Swedish colonists in the New World. To dedicate this monument a delegation of 26 jvill be sent.
