Billy was at the ringside for the

Johnny Saputo, a hard-punching
bantamweight. was the first TO

AMERICANS FROM |
 EUROPE ON BOARD

CContanued from Page D to Lisbon and said they had no ticed presumed Gestapo agents several times aboard the trains which brought the Americans here.
 None Approached
 However, none of the Americans were approached by the Gestapo men, 1t was said, and German offl- cials dealt only with leaders of the consular group and were uniformly polite and correct in their dealings.
 The party included men, women and children.
 Two of the women in the party were pregnant. There were three infants in the group. Parents had no trouble feeding the children since they had brought special food for them.
 Adults had regulation German food tickets but found the food on the special trains none too plenti- full. Their brightest moment was the first meal on the Portuguese dining car.
 At this meal they were served real coffee, fruit, vegetables, chick en, and cheese. They also got Amer ican and British cigarettes. For most of the party this was the best food and smokes they had had since the beginning of the war.
 Germans Disembark
 Expelled German consular fami- lies and propagandists, meanwhile, were disembarking from the West Point. United States authorities aboard the ship permitted only about 150 Germans, mostly women and children, to leave yesterday. The others had to wait until the last train arrived from Nazi terri tory.
 The 137 Italian consuls and their families were permitted to disem- bark and entrain for Rome at 2:30 D. m. yesterday, the Americans from Italy having arrived safely in Lisbon.
 Among those in the second train from Berlin was Richard 0. Hotte- let, United Press correspondent who had been arrested by Nazi secret police and held for weeks on "sus- picion of espionage" He and Jay Allen, American newspaperman who had been held in Paris, were released simultaneously with tho release and expulsion of two Ger man newspapermen arrested in the United States.
 Louis Weber, a clerk in the American consulate in Vienna, had severe attack of diabetes aboard Lisbon bound train and was placed in a hospital at St. Jean De Luz, France. He was said to be In serious condition. His home Is in San Mateo, Calf.

ion later in the mornings program were John R. Feegel, Commander of the American Legion, Connecticut department, and John Potter, Grand Chef de Care of the Forty-and- Eight.
 Many Telegrams
 Mrs. Alexander, retiring president of the department, read several tele- grams which have been received from those unable to attend the con- vention. Mrs. Bessie Basset, chair man of the trophy and awards com- nittee, announced the winners of the National Defense Essay contest and the National Americanism Es- say contest. The former was won by two girls in Stratford, and the prize in the latter contest, a set of ency- clopedias, was given to girl in Ber- lin, with Rockville and Hartford re- ceiving honorable mention.
 Shortly after noon, the delegates from each of the seven districts con- vened to choose their district vice. presidents for the coming year, and delegates to the national conven- tions. All these nominations will be voted on by the entire department at the session tomorrow morning.

where It will encanap at the m1nici- pal stadium until Monday morning. A field Mass will be celebrated ct the stadium ct 9 a. m. Sunday. Pro- visions have been made to entertain the troops during their stay.
 Carnival atmosphere pervaded Waterbury today as more hundreds of veterans and other visitors poured in for the American Legion convea- ton, which will be clilnaxed tomor- row afternoon by the Legion parade. Uniforms and military caps, pa- triottc badges and e1nbleInS were seen on every hand as crowds nailled in hotel lobbies and stfolled along streets decked out with flags and bunting.
 Delegates, guests and visitors were on hand from not only all parts ot Connecticut but from many eastern states and from points as far dis tant as California. Dizzily painted cars and trucks of the 70 and 8, the Legion fln-rnaking organization, rolled through the streets with sirens wailing and bells changing.
 There were shouts of greetings as old friends were recognized, toast6 to departed comrades, and gay re- unions in hotel rooms.
 FrOlic in Full Swing
 The frolicking will be in full swing tonight, with the 70 and 8 parade touching of the fuse for e night of hilarity. The parade will start from Freight street at 2 o'clock and pro- ceed through downtown streets, ending at Wilby high school, where the annual wreck" will be held.
 The Governors Foot Guard from New Haven will be one of the most striking units in the parade. Sailors and marines from New London also march.
 The parade will be in six divisions, with pr. Raymond J. Quinn as mar Shal.
 In the first division will be the military units, led by police and fire platoons. Members of veterans or- garlizations will make up the second division. Community clubs, mounted units and floats will be in the third division, while American Legion Auxiliary units will comprise the fourth division. The Sons of the American Legion will be in the fifth division. In the sixth division will be the Legionnaires and their ofi- cers, with members of Corp. Coyle marching as the last unit.
 No general Legion meetings were held last night, but many caucuses and delegates meetings were held. Many of the delegates attended the dinner and dance given by the aux Hilary at The Elton.
 The resolutions committee was in session from mid-afternoon until late last night, preparing its report for submission to the convention to- day.
 The battle for the post of senior vice-comn1ander was still being waged this morning. The opponents are Edward J. Kelly of Taftville and Arthur E. Daly of New Haven. The retiring vice-cornmander, Arthur w. Connell of Middletown, will be elect ed state commander tomorrow, slc- ceeding Commander John R. Feegal of Mertden.

 Deiegates and visitors were loud in their praise of the convention ar- engagements made by the Corp. Ccyle post committee headed by General Chairman George McDuff.
 The state convention today still was taking about the speech yester. day of National Adjutant Frank E. Samuel, who said that If fighting is necessary to defend the United States, we are insisting that we do our fighting outside the United States"

was resolved that the camp should be run next year for a two-month season. The resolution was carried unanimously.
 Mrs. Ann Phillips had reported earlier in the morning on the suc- cess of the camp project, revealing that the eight children whom the auxiliary had as its guests there this year put on 46 pounds, collectively. She added that 'there are 8 great many times eight children that need our attention" The gratitude of the children was well expressed in a bracelet of shells which they sent to the auxiliary, with a note of gra- titude. Mrs. Phillips was given a rising vote of thanks and congratu- lations for her work.
 Another of the resolutions passed awarded a contribution of $1200 o the Legion's rehabilitation fund for the coming year, to be used to furth- CT the regular Legion program.
 Awards Annually
 It was decided, at the recommen- dation of the resolutions committee, that for reasons of economy, begin. ming in 1922 all permanent awards to persons or units in hte auxiliary will be discontinued. Instead, all trophies and plaques will be awarded on an annual basis, as long as they are usable.
 Despite the resolution passed at the auxiliary's national conventions recently discontinuing the use of the overseas cap, the department deter mined to go on record as in favor of request to the national authorities to allow each department to adopt its own official uniform.
 The only resolution which occa- stoned any discussion was one deal- ing with the annual award of trophies to various units. AS pres- ent the practice Is for the trophy and awards committee to meet once a year, and to make an award on the basis of the annual reports of the units. .,.
 Two different resolutions regard ing 8 change in this procedure were introduced by Mrs. Cashman, and discussed at some length by the del- egates. ventually 6 decision that the units should make out monthly re- ports in triplicate, submitting one to the department chairman, who would then make quarterly reports to the trophy chairman was accept ed unanimously. Final decision as to the awards will remain with the trophy committee. A final resolution requested the first district to carry on the aux iliary's program at the Veterans hospital, Rocky Hill.

1 threat" the spokesman said.
 It was indicated strongly that Britain, the United States, the Netherlands, China and the British Dominions were in consultation on measures which might be taken in reprisal for Japan's grab of bases within striking distance of the Phil- ippines, Singapore and the Nether- lands East Indies.
 Freezing of Japanese assets, an embargo on Japanese exports and denial to Japan of goods slBe needs were among possible measures dis cussed in diplomatic quarters.
 It was said in well informed quar- ters that nothing more than econ- omic pressure against Japan might be expected, but that this pressure might reduce Japan's trade to a minimum.
 Japanese Ships Halt
 San Francisco, July 2-(UP)-- At least 40 Japanese ships bound for Pacific coast ports today were believed to have hove to at sea, fearing retaliation from the United States for Japan's imminent move into Indo-China.
 Shipping circles believed the ships were waiting to see whether the United States would freeze Jap aneSe assets and seize Japanese ships in American ports, and whether Central and South Ameri- can nations would follow suit.
 The estimate of the number of vessels was based on the normal movement of all Japanese ships into all Pacific ports, in North, Gen. tral and South America.
 Although Japanese consular auth critics said they knew nothing of such a move, informed quarters said the orders to "heave to" apparently came from Tokyo Wednesday night. This would be indicated, they said, by the factt hat three Japanese ships docked on schedule in Pa cific coast ports Wednesday,, but the liner Tatrlta Maru, scheduled to arrive at a. m. yesterday, with a $S 900 900 cargo of silk, has not yet arrived, and has not been heard from.
 The Tatuta Maru's failure to ar- rive evidently caught the NIX Line, which operates her, by surprise Longshoremen were waiting to un- load the cargo, and special train was standing by to rush it to New Jersey silk mills. The NIX Line had its launch ready to take rep resentatives out to board the ship in midstream.
 The Tatuta Maru'S radio was sil- ent, as were the radios of other Jap- anese merchant ships in the Pacific.
