(Special to The Times-Picayune) New York, March 5.— Sir Aldo Castellani, to whom Mussolini and the king of Italy gave credit for keeping the Italian army in Ethiopia in good health, arrived today on the Italian liner Conte di Savoia to resume his work at Louisiana State university, where he is professor of tropical medicine.
Professor Castellani, who is an Italian count and a member of the Italian Senate, holds numerous other posts and titles in many countries. He was knighted by King George V in 1928, is head of the Ross Institute of Tropical Medicine in England, and of the Royal Institute of Tropical Medicine in Rome. He is a commander of the Italian army and navy medical corps and was high commissioner of sanitation in East Africa. There, with the most modern medical organization ever assembled in a colonial war, he kept the 500,000 Italian soldiers in Eritrea and Somaliland practically free of the dread scourges that usually fall on expeditionary forces in tropical lands.
