ROME. July 11-P-Italian
hospitality opened wide its arms to-
day to two American aviators, Ro-
ger @. Williams and Capt. Lewis
A. Yancey, who landed at Littorio
Airdrome at $50 D. m. 1880 p. m,
E. S. I'd yesterday from Santander,
Spain, completing a transatlantic
flight from Old Orchard, Me.
Not even a tentative schedule for
their activities the next few days
has been arranged, but it was said
at the American embassy and in
official government quarters a flood
of invitations and requests had ap-
peared and needed sitting, since it
would be humanity impossible for
the avaitors to comply with all.
Italians regarded almost as nota-
BILE as their flight the intense in
terest Premier Mussolini displayed
in their feat. The Duce was kept
waiting for two hours last evening
at the airdrome for the American
plane to put in its appearance, but
finally he had to leave, ten min
utes before it flew over the field.
Taken To Villa
AS Williams and Yancey were
taken to Rome they we're conducted
by General Italo Balbo, under sec
rotary for aviation, to the pre-
mier's villa at Torenia. Mussolini,
acting as minister for aeronautlcS,
greeted them there, kissing both on
both cheeks, and congratulating
them on their flight. He said he
was sorry they had to land at San
lander but abjured them not to let
that spoil their pleasure Of the &C
complishment.
Head winds over southern France
and the Mediterranean which
sometimes slowed their progress to
25 to IS miles an hour greatly
lengthened their flight from San
tander, and since they were sight
ed only once en- route to Italy, even
gave rise to fears for their safety.
Leaving Santander at 1920 a. m.
(5:2O a.. m, E. S. To they took 10
hours and 10 minutes to traverse
the $50 miles to Littorio Field. They
we're sighted soon after leaving
Sontander at Biarritz, and then
faded from view until they were re-
ported again at Civita Vecchia, so
miles north of Rome.
1t was fast getting dark at Litto-
rio as the fl:ers landed. There were
troops, police, and plain clotheSmen
everywhere. a small army having
been provided to see to the personal
safety of Premier Mussolini while
he was there, but the crowd Of sew
eral thousands, cheering frantically,
surged past the lines to the plane
as the pair crawled out Of the cabin.
Pinedo Present
MARQUIS De Pinedo, dean OF Ital-
ian transatlantic filters, stepped up
to greet the Americans, and the
| crowd, cheering wildly, picked all
three up on shoulders and carried
them off the field; there General
Balbo and Alexander Kirk, secre-
tary for the American embassy,
took charge of them.
After being driven to the pre-
mier'S villa they were taken to a
hotel. where the American embassy
had obtained a suite of three rooms
with red and gold furniture for
them. The chef had fixed an elab-
crate meal for the men, and despite
the fact they said they were fam
iShed they did not sit down to it i'm
mediately.
Both aviators said they had no
intention Of attempting a flight
back across the Atlantic to Amari-
ca, but said they would ship their
plane back and probably attempt 70

men GAGGED IN
ALCATRAz PRISON
New Torture Methods
introduced

A letter received by Paul Crouch
from another former prisoner in
Alcatraz recalls the former methods
of torture in the military prison,
before more psychological but nc
less savage system was introduced.
The letter follows:
Dear Paul:
I have been a prisoner at the
Rock" Alcatraz Island, Calf. My
prison number was 11461, my crime
refusing to participate in a war
waged to make the world safe for
democracy"
In January, 1920, Executive Of
ficer Johnson and Commandant
James B. Mcdonald devised "coffin"
like cages to force me and others to
submit to military authority. Four
cages were placed on the side of
the disciplinary battalion part of the
prison, the same side where the
dark solidarity cells are located and
where the entrance to the dungeon
is.
l would appreciate very much if
you could give me the following in
formation:
Was anyL ody sentenced to the
iron cages while you were serving
your term at the Pacific Branch of
the U. S. D. B.?
Were the cages removed or were
they still in their places while you
were at Alcatraz? Adjutant Cen
eral Lutz Wahl replied on Novem-
Der, 1928, that the cage form of
punishment was discontinued, mot
because the punishment was believed
to be severe, but rather because of
the undue attention attracted to it
on account of Misrepresentation as
to its severity"
