u. ). Demands Italy
Lift Ban Against
Americans LEAVING
Embassy Asks Reciprocity
Citing Regulations Here
On Fascist Nationals

By the Associated Press.
ROME, July 9.-The United States
Embassy notified the Italian gov
ernment today that it expected
prompt lifting of Italy's ban on the
departure of United States citizens
from this country.
The Embassy handed the Foreign
Office an urgent request for reci-
procity in this matter, asserting that
Italians had been given permission
to leave the United States and a
number had already departed.
Regulations Here Cited.
The Embassy informed the For
eign Office of the Washington Gov
ernment's regulations concerning
departure of Italians.
Authoritative Italians insisted
they were withholding exit visas
from Americans on a reciprocity
basis and attributed delay in let
ting Americans go TO their desire
to be sure the American regulations
were functioning satisfactorily.
They also pointed out that there
were many Italians to leave Amer
lea, but only a few Americans in
Italy.
Ex-EnvOy Unable to Leave.
Among those unable to leave Italy
are Charles Wilson of Maine, former
American Minister to Rumania;
Marchesa Olive Perkins d'Amico
sister of American Embassy Attache
Reginald Perkins; Mrs. Lewis 1dd-
ings, 80, widow of the former Amer
ican diplomatic agent to Cairo dur

Angelo Compagn of Brooklyn, Amer
lean medical student who was taken
from a plane in Sardinia the day
Italy banned American departures
and who has since been stranded
there.
Several priests and a number of
newspapermen also are unable to
leave Italy.
Since June "a. when Italy an
nounced that special authorization
was required for Americans to quit
this country, none has been allowed
to depart Italy's action at that
time was in reprisal for the regu-
lations restricting departure of
Italians from America.

Sta|in as Great a Threat
As Hitler, Thomas Says

Repeating his plea for America
to keep out of war, Norman Thomas,
Socialist leader, asserted last night
that a Russian victory might be as
great a menace to America as a
German triumph.
IF, by mirace, Stain, with Brit
ish aid and possibly some from us,
should conquer Hitler, he would
become the master of Europe and
eventually perhaps as much a threat
to the Western Hemisphere as Hit
Ter now seems" Mr.. Thomas said
The choice between Stain and
Hitler is not worth the life of a
single American boy, still less the
jeopardy of our own democracy"
he declared. Mr.. Thomas spoke in
New York over a Columbia Broao-
casting System network under aus
pices of the Keep America Out Of
War Congress.
American occupation of Iceland is
"ominous," he said, calling it part
of a steady advance toward full
participation in the war.
