LOCATELLI TELLS HIS
 STORY OF TROUBLE

Washington. Aug. 2s.-The army
 world fliers notified the air service
 here today that they expected to fly
 from Ivigtut. Greenland, to the Las
 brador coast on Thursday.
 Lieutenant Smith. commander of the flight. sent this message from the cruiser Milwaukee. to Major General Patrick, chief of the air service:
 Our work progressing nicely and we expect 10 continue on the 26th."
 Lacking detailed reports on the plans of the American world fiera for their next hop. officials here assumed today that they would foi- low the tentative schedule worked out by army air service officers and proceed from 1vigtut, Greenland, to Indian Harbor, Labrador, as soon as their planes could be put in condo ton for the 500-mile drive.
 Army, navy and diplomatic circlea in Washington expressed unlimited admiration for all concerned in the rescue by the cruiser Richmond late Sunday night of Lieut.. Locatellf, the Italian avaitor who left Iceland with the Americans Thursday but was forced to alight at sea.
 Premier Mussolini, in a messase to the Italian charge d'affaires, in- structed him to convey to the Washs ington government expressions of gratitude he already had voiced to the American ambassador in Rome, The American navy's efforts in be- half of the Italian, he described as most noble proof of human soli- darity and comradeship."f
 Wing Commander Calderara, air of the Italian embassy, al- ready had sent message directing Lieut.. Marescachi of the Italian navy a guest aboard the Richmond. to communicate full appreciation, and thankfulness'' to Rear Admiral Magruder, his officers and enlisted men for their aid to his countrymen. He also sent to Lieut.. Smith, command- ar of the American planes, and him success for the remain- fer of the flight.
 Major General Patrick, chief Of the army air service, giving full credit to the navy for the rescue, expressed regret to Lieutenant Lo- 'atelli that he had been forced town and relief that he had been saved.
