for 10 days, and her third, Boston.
where there will be four more days
of the kind of sightseeing, dinners
and receptions planned all along
the line.
Shades of History
The arrival of sailing vessel
with such a name will carry
Americans mentally back across a
span of almost 500 years to that
date in 1897 when the Italian navi-
gator-astronomer Amerigo YES
pucci first set foot on America and
subsequently gave us our name.
The 120 Italian navy men will
find things lot peppier now than
they were then. Their first days
schedule calls for an exchange of
visits between Capt. Silvano Bren-
gola. the commanding officer and
Vice Admiral Harry w. Hill,
superintendent of the Naval
Academy, Governor Theodore Nc
Keldin of Maryland and Mayor
Roscoe Rowe of Annapolis. It also
includes a visit by the italian mid
Shipmen and cadets to the Naval
Academy and a garden party at
the Naval Academy for them, plus
"a cocktail party at Admiral Hills
quarters for Capt. Brengola and
his officers and a dinner at the
academy that evening.
Washington Aeendo
On Wednesday the water-borne
visitors will invade Washington.
They'll tour the city by bus, place
a wreath at the tomb of the Un-
known Soldier and a wreath at
the tomb of Admiral Forrest Sher-
man and picnic at the Naval Air
Station at Anacostia. That eve
ming the Italian Naval Attache and
Countess Goretti de'Flamini will
entertain the ships officers and
United States naval heads at din
ner preceding a reception at the
Embassy.
In the absence of Ambassador
and Signora Tarchiani, the Charge
d'Affaires and Signora Luciolli will
be hosts at the Embassy affair
which will be a small dance for the
visiting men. Some of the Capitals
prettiest young bellies will be in
vited to twirl with the midshipmen
and cadets.
Doncing on Deck
On Thursday there will be more
official visits in Annapolis and
Washington ending with the cap
tain's dinner on board ship and a
reception with dancing afterward.
The limited number of Americans
invited will include high ranking
naval officers.
On the last day there will be
more sightseeing and liberty for
the travellers with possibly re-
ception that evening at the Shore
ham for the midshipmen and
cadets.
The original Amerigo Vespucci
probably had no idea what he
started.
Ambassador and Signora Ia
chiani are not expected back in
Washington until the middle of
September. About that time, too,
the new Second Secretary of the
Embassy, Count Roberto Ricardi,
is expected to arrive to be followed
at later date by Countess
Ricardi. Former Second Secre-
tary Felice Catalano has been pro-
NOTED to First Secretary. Both
changes have to do with the de-

ter as foreign-controlled agency
today rejected plea for a post
ponement until the Senate can
confirm the nominations of the
hearing board members.
Attorney Vito Marcantonio, for
mer Representative from New
York, told the board that a hear
ing under the circumstances
would be a "mockery" and "in-
decent" proceedings in view Of the
fact the board has not been con-
firmed.
He said Senator McCarran is
the author Of the Internal Secu-
rity Act under which the board
was constituted and also is chair
man of the Senate Judiciary
Committee which so far has de-
ferred action in passing upon the
appointments.
Richardson Sees No Doubt.
Chairman Seth Richardson of
the SubverSive Activities Control
Board replied that the postpone
ment was overruled because the
board, while still unconf1rmed,
has the lawful power to proceed
with this hearing" Mr.. Richard
son pointed out that the Senate
has every right to take up the
appointments at any time it sees
fit.
I'VE have no doubt it is the duty
of the board to proceed" Mr..
Richardson declared.
This board sits in jeopardy and
If at any time it takes a view
contrary to that of the chairman
of the Senate committee which is
to pass on it's nominations, the
members may never be confirmed
in the positions to which they
have been appointed" Mr.. Mar
cantonio said.
How can you express a fair
judgment when you yourselves
are to be judged? How can this
respondent be given justice un-
der such circumstances" he
asked.
Heard by Full Board.
The full five-man board heard
the opening argument and re-.
jected the plea for a postpone
ment.
The first witness before the
three-member hearing panel after
the full board rejected an effort to
postpone the proceedings was Ben
jamin Gitlow Of Crompond. N. Y,
a lecturer and author, who testi-
fed he was expelled from the Com
munist Party in 1929 after a diff
ference with Josef Stain over the
leadership of the party in the
United States.
Mr.. Gitlow was put on the stand
by the Government, according to
Mr.. Paisley, in an effort to build
up a factual story of Communist
aims in this country from the in
ception of the party in 1919 until
the present time.
