was the only pilot and that he him.
self was merely the commander.
He said he and Williams had ar
Hanged to pilot the big Bellanca in
two hour shifts. Sabelli emphasiz-

This was to be a goodwill flight,
he said. and Williams was the
representative OF the American peo-

would leave it to chance as to which
man would be at the stick when

The Roma has enough gasoline to
carry the fliers 500 miles beyond
Rome, Sabelli said, and II they
reach that objective they will con-

Blunt American Praised

Americans are blunt, outspOken and
brusque, almost boisterOus in theil
manners, but bubbling with an un
equaled heartiness and warmth In
their contacts with strangers and
each other, and thus hold the key to
better relations between men and ma.
lions, is the opinion of Yasuki Hase

year ago by the Tokyo English Teach
ers' association of Japan. Hasewaga's
trip was to promote international
friendship, and he visited In GO Amer
lean homes and addressed 200 public

said ON his return to Tokyo, ''but
they are not. They are simply nat
