Group Leaders Meet
ToPush AmityPoIiey
Consular Officials
Join Move TO Prevent
Hostile Sentiment

In furtherance of recently
announced national American
policy Of promoting better relation
ships between Italy and the United
States and of preventing growth Of
anti-Italian sentiment in this coun-
try. leaders of local Italian American
societies have been in consultation
with Italian consular officials, it was
admitted today.
A meeting of the presidents of
local societies was held at the Italian
Embassy last Thursday with Vittorio
Bifulco, acting consul, according to
reports which the Embassy refused
TO confirm or deny.
Among those said to have attended
the meeting were DR.. Eugene
Forcione, president of the Sons of
Italy Alfonso Fiore, president of
the Unione Fratellanza: John Mon
tello, president of Loggia Roma. and
Antonio Mistretta, president of
Loggia Cavaletti.
DR.. Forcione, a physician. with
offices at 4521 Sixteenth street NV,
SAID ne had attended the meeting
and that he had been asked to cau-
ton members of his society to avoid
incidents which might harm the
italian cause in this country.
Mr.. Montello said the meeting
had been held, but declined to say
whether he or any representative
of his organization had been pres
ent. Leaders of the other organiza-
tions could not be reached.
According to news reports last
month, Italian officials in leading
American cities at which consulates
are maintained are cooperating in
a general program said to have
originated in Rome of avoiding in
cidents or statements of a provoca-
tive nature. The program, it is
understood, calls for soft pedaling"
of the former pro-Fascist propa-
ganda and discourages such activi-
ties as pro-Itahan meetings and the
display of the Italian flag during
public outings of American So
cieties.
