one of Gen. Doolittle's Tokyo f1iers
to escape from the Fascists IN
1943, yesterday filed suit asking

that she is legally a citizen of
this country.
The plaintiff. who is "a. is in
New York City, but has been
threatened with deportation, her
suit says.
Miss Peduzzi helped Col. Charles
r Greening of the Army Air
Forces escape from Italy. Col.
Greening had been shot down
over Mount Vesuvius in Itsly in
July. 1943. In October of that
year he was on a prison train ap-
preaching the Brenner Pass en-
route to Germany. The train
was bombed and Col. Greening
escaped. He got on another train.

alighted and made his way to a
farm house.
Cared for by Family.
There the family took him In
and called Miss PeduZZi because
she could speak English. He
stayed until Miss Peduzzi warned
him the Fascists were coming. He
escaped into Yugoslavia, where he
finally was captured by the Ger
mans.
After the war, in September,
l946. Miss Peduzzi came to Wash
lngton to take part in a celebra-
ton in the Raleigh Hotel, mark
ing the close of Col. Greening' S
exhibition of prisoner of wal
handicrafts. under YMCA aus

says soe entered the United States

residence December %. 1920.
Her father. the complaint says
became a naturalized American
citizen in 1924 in New Jersey and
her mother in 1925.
In 1890. wher she was 13, the
| complaint says, she was taken to
Italy with her parents. at which
time ner father was issued an
American passport on which she
| was included. The family returned
to Italy. she says because hel
father was seriously i'll. She re-
mainei in Italy until 1916, but
she Sc VS. she never took any oath
of allegiance to the King of Italy
or never applied for Italian citi-
zensh;p.
| Called at Consulate.
The complaint further states
that. before the expiration Of hel
fathers passport in 1882 she
called at the American consulate
in Venice and advised officials
there that she considered herself
an American citizen and wanted
to return to this country.
First her fathers illness and
then the war prevented her return
here, the complaint says.
In 1916, however, the complain,
states, she was issued an American
passport and returned to this
country as an American citizen
She contends she had acquired
American citizenship through ths
naturalization of her father.
When she sought a passport II

informed she had lost her Ameri.

voice with its intriguing timbre
was brilliant medium for the
music. Competing with him in

Leonora, in the first act brought
together three notable voices. In
their smaller assignments, Nino

Sam Beard Pleads
Anew for Details
From u. ). in Tax Case
BY the Associoied Press

| BALTIMORE, July 27.-Sanuel
R. Beard; Washington gambler
charged with income tax evasion
made a second plea today that
the Government be required to
be more specific in its accusations
The indictment against him
charges that he shortchanged the
Government S478,000 on his in
come tax in 1914. The only evi-
dence disclosed in obtaining the
indictment was that Beard has
indorsed nine checks totaline
$4,000 from Frank Erickson,
New York gambler who figured in
the Kefauver Committee investi-
cations.
Today's move by Beard was part
OF sparring match that has been
going on between his attorneys
and Government prosecutors since
the indictment first was returned,
Thomas J. Kenney and Michael
Gould, attorneys for Beard, ac-
knowledged at an earlier hearing
that they had advised him not to
let tax agents see his financial
and tax records.
United States District Attorney
Bernard j. Flynn argued that if
he were required to be more
specific on the income tax charges
it would amount to tipping
off the Governments evidence
against Beard in advance.
Federal Judge w. Calvin Ches-
nut ordered Mr.. Flynn to file
particulars of the charges. To-
day, Boards attorneys filed ex-
ceptionS to the particulars and
argued the Government still had
not been specific.
Judge Chestnut expressed sur
prise when he was advised that
Beard had denied the tax in
vestigators a chance to see his
tax records.
He asked if this was not re-
quired by the income tax laws.
Boards attorneys replied that
he is not required to show any
records that might tend to in
criminate him.
Mr.. Flynn contended that
Boards refusal was contrary to-
the regulations and custom.

Robinson Hits Code Change
To Enlarge ArmorY Capacity

Engineer Commissioner Bernard
L. Robinson said yesterday he will
oppose tailoring" of the Districts
building code to suit the Armory
In an effort to double the capac-
lty of the Armory, Manager Ar
thur j. Bergman has suggested a
change in the code. The present
capacity is 5,310 persons, based
on the fire exit facilities.
The Commissioners withheld ac-
tion on the request until next
Tuesdays board meeting.
Col. Robinson said, however, he
believes a change in the code to
enlarge the capacity of the Ar
mory would bring "well-deserved
squawks" from other establish
mentS, such as Uline's Arena.
Major structural changes would
be required to bring the Armory
into conformance with the build
ing code requirements for a capac-
ity of twice the present figure, he
said, and this would cost hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.
