Gained Immediate Fame.
Although Bellanca has been engaged
throughout most of his adult life In
the designing and construction Oh arr
palnes, he found immediate fame
heaped upon him recently when a
single motored monoplane designed by
him remained In the air for record
breaking flight of 81 hours and ii
minutes. This same plane. known as
the Columbia, is today winginS its
way to Europe in an attempt to es-
tablish a new long distance flight
record.
Bellanca was born in Sciacca, Sicily.
In 1908, two years before his gradu-
alton from the Royal Institute of
Milan, he built, in collaboration with
Bossi and Inverrizzi, a two-seater
pusher biplane with Zush motor.
During 1909 and 1910, he built trac-
tor biplane and after he came to the
tractor biplane for his own use on
Long Island.
Built Seven Types.
He moved to Brooklyn in 1911. and
a year later established a flying
school. teaching students to fly in
his parasol planes.
During the World War he was an
expert for a large airplane manufac.
turing firm and afterward built wings
for the air mail service.
He has built seven different types
of planes, one of the monoplanes de-
signed by him in 1922. winning 10
first prizes in as many starts. The
successes of this plane included the

NEW YORK, June 4.-Giuseppe NJ.
Bellanca, designer of the monopiahe
Columbia, now speeding over the At
lantic, Europe-bound, was a student
in Milan in 1903 when he was hred
with an enthusiasm for flying after
reading in a paper that a Frenchman
in a flying machine had stayed In the
air six minutes.
Fascinated, he read everything he
could get his hands on pertaining to
f1ving. and devoted all his time, out.
side of that demanded by his studies,
to experiments with airplane models.

He saw a greater future in this
country than in Italy, and in 1911
came here. A few months later he
was ridiculed when he appeared at
Mineola Field with plane which was

pilot. It not only flew, but was the
foundation for the present monoplane
bearing his name.
In this plane Bellanca taught him.
self to fly. The "parasop' is still in
existence, and was flown by Clarence
Chamberlin in 1921.
From 1917 to 1920 he was connected
with the Maryland Pressed Steel Co
as consulting engineer, but when de-
f1ation struck the country he went to
Omaha to begin the construction of a
monoplane in a garage there. 1t was
the first to appear with the Bellanca
struts, which carry their own weight
as well as support the monoplane
wing. He won many prizes with the
plane.
Ideas Radically Different.
"My ideas of airplane design have
been so radically different from con-
ventional design that from the first
have been forced to prove their
worth" he has said. But I'm used
to that sort of thing. Always l have
known what have been doing, and
always l have been going step
ahead"
In 1924 Bellanca built four planes
for Government air mail work, and
they are still in operation. with 1907
600 miles each to their credit. A year
later he joined forces with the Wright
Aeronautical Corporation as consult
ing engineer, and at their factory in
Patterson, n. j., built the plane which
is now on its way to Europe.
After this unison was dissolved he
became connected with the Columbia
Aircraft Corporation, from which he
recently withdrew.

Accepts Responsibility

That he does not intende to sidestep RESPONSE
bility for his action in the Sacco-Vanzetu case is
the one certain conclusion to be drawn from the
announcement of Governor Alvan T. Fuller of
Massachusetts, thai he will not appoint a commits
sion to inquire into and advise him as to the fair
ness of the trial.
The responsibility, Governor Fuller holds, is his
alone. The determination, he thinks. should also be
entirely personal. He does not go along with the
idea that he could and should ka committee OF i'm
partial Investigators to look into the matter THOR
oughly and advise him what to do.
For which conclusion there is something to be
said. OF course the selection of the committee of
investigators might itself be very large determin-
ing factor 1t is hard to find intelligent people who
do not have a conviction this matter. 1t would
be easy enough to pick hardboiled bunch of re-
spectables who would glory in executing these
radicals Likewise as easy to pick committee of
respectable and intelligent people who would agree
in three minutes that they martyrs.
For political staging committee to sift ex-
haustively the evidence would seem the wise thing.
1t would appear deliberative. 1t would spread the
responsibility 1t would bolster fatering purpose.
But for an independent man. who be
ieves and is not afraid to take the consequences Of
his belief, why commission of inquiry?
