CHICAGO, July 18 Q.N.SO
Chicago heaped additional honors
on Gen. Italo Balbo and his
Italian airmen today before say
ing farewell to the intrepid ar
mada.
The outstanding event of the
official farewell ceremony was a
parade down Michigan Avenue
at which it was estimated more
than 100000 Chicagoans roared
their esteem of the airmen and
paid their departing tribute.
Although General Balbo and
most of his officers slept until
almost noon, after an exhaustive
day and night of festivities, it
was announced in behalf of the
flight leaders that the time of
departure would be 8 tomorrow
morning.
Jamaica Bay Landing
Final preparations have been
made for the getaway and the
route to be taken to New York
has been determined.
The official announcement was
as follows:
General BalbO and his men
will take off for New York at
8 a. m. Wednesday. They will
land on Jamaica Bay, off Floyd
Bennett Field. The trip is ex.
pected to require 6 to 619
hours.
"The route of flight will be
Chicago to Toledo, to Cleve-
land, to Buffalo, to OswegO, to
the Hudson River at Albany,
down the Hudson to Manhat-
tan, across East River to
Queens, thence to the landing
point.
although it originally had
been planned to land at Port
Washington, the preparations
for refuelling there were not
satisfactory to General Balbo."
Members of General Balbo's
staff said this route would be
strictly adhered to, despite num-
erous requests for the Italians to
fly over various cities.
Hotel Besieged
This last day of the Italians
stay in Chicago was as crowded
with activities as the others have
been since their arrival. The
scene at the Drake Hotel, where
the airmen have been living, all
morning and until early in the
afternoon was one of hustle and

REICH REPORTS
THIRD DEAD IN
DAR|USCRASH
State Department Declares
Letters Found Lead to
Incorrect Conclusion

The American embassy in Ber-
lin has notified the State De-
partment that a third party was
reported to have been killed in
the disaster which overlook the
Lithuanian-American filters, Capt.
Steven Darius and Stanley Gire-
mas, when their machine crashed
to destruction outside Soildin,
Pomerania, en- route to Lithuania
after conquering the Atlantic.
The embassy did not identify
the third party, but merely men
toned that "a third member of
the crew also was reported lost" I"
This was tackled on the end Of
a telegram from the consul gen.
eral in Berlin, asking what dis
position should be made of the
bodies of the two fliers.
Officials here were inclined to
doubt that a third person was
aboard the plane. They believed
the report probably was due to
the fact that a bag containing
letters was found near the
wrecked plane, bearing the name
Of Victor Jesglaites, Of Wilkes
barre, Pa. The letter sack came
to the notice of officials through
press dispatches which added Jes-
glaites was still in this country.
The telegram from the consul
general was sent to relatives Of
the fliers.

z DIXIE STATES
BALLOT TODAY
ON REPEAL
Result Expected to Seal Fate
of Prohibition Campaign
for Whole Nation
By International News Service

Possibly holding the fate Of
national prohibition repeal, voters
of Alabama and Arkansas went to
the polls today to register their
verdicts on the proposed Twenty
first Amendment to the Constitu-
tion.
Repeal advocates regard Ala
bama and Arkansas as their two
stiffest hurdles in the tradition
ally "dry" Solid South, and they
are confident that victories today
will assure repeal of the Eight.
eenth Amendment before the end
of the year.
Tennessee Thursday
Tennessee goes to the polls on
the issue Thursday, but observers
predict the repealists will have a
far less difficult fight in the vol.
unteer State than in Alabama and
Arkansas.
Repealists claim Alabama by
2-to-1 margin, while drys foresee
a handsome majority" to
retain the Eighteenth Amend
ment. "Wets" are confident that
the appeals of President Roose-
welt and Postmaster General
James A. Farley have aided their
cause immeasurably.
They count upon the traditional
political unity of the solid
South" to bring to their banners
thousands of votes that would not
have been enlisted had repeal not
been made a party issue by Demo
cratic leaders.
The vote in Arkansas actually
is on the question Of legalizing
beer in the State, but it was linked
directly with repeal by Governor
F. M. Futrell, who said that if beer
is approved by voters, he will call
a special session Of the legislature
to approve repeal. He added:
Everybody I have talked to
in Arkansas seems to think
the State will go for repeal"
Other States Watching
Other Southern States are
watching closely the outcome of
the balloting of these three States.
Gov. o. K. Allen of Louisiana
said he would convene the legisla-
ture to act on repeal "just as
soon as it will do any good to ac-
complish repeal"
Voters of Louisiana already have
repealed their State prohibition
laws.
A special session of the Virginia
legislature will meet August II
to consider repeal. A referendum
on the issue has been called in
Florida for October 10. Both
North and South Carolina vote on
repeal November 7.

Of old Rome. He said:
This flight shows that Italy

Strates that Italy is awake to
the commercial possibilities of
