ALL SURVIVORS SAFE IN HARBOR Krassin Reaches Kings Bay With Italia Crew Kings Bay, Spitzbergen, July 20. —UP—All the known survivors of the fatal expedition which set forth almost two months ago for the North Pole in the dirigible Italia, were safe in this harbor today. Cheers from the base ship Citta Milano weicomed the Russian e-breaker Krassin as that sturdy vessel came into port with the sev- en members of the Italia crew who had been snatched from death in the Arctic. The men including Nattalie Ceccioni, who leg was broken in the crash of the Italia on May 25, and ! Captain Alberto Mariano who was picked up with a badly frost bitten leg and in an exhausted condition, were transferred to the Citta Di Milano. General Umberto was rescucd by airplane on June 24. awaited them aboard his base ship. Leave Pomella Buried in the left Vincenzo Pomella, killed in the crash. Dr. Finn Malmgren, was left behind a month ago, dying in a grave of ice, by Captains Mariano and Zappi when they pushed on in a futile attempt to reach land. Six men who were carried off in the balloon part of the dirigible were still missing as also were Roald Amundsen and five others who flew to rescue them. An official communique in Rome | this morning announcing the ar- rival of the survivors said that Captain Mariano's condition was im- proving although his frozen right foot woull make an operation neces- sary. Yeg Amputated The Oslo newspaper Tidens Tegn sald, however, that Captain Mariano's leg had been amputated last Wednesday. The Norwegian government has decided that it cannot hold an offi- cial investigation of the Italia dis- aster unices Italy requests it. The report was current in Berlin that the Russian ice breaker Mali- gin had been unsuccessful in its search for the misaing Amundsen party and had begun its return voyage direct to Archangel. T To Return Home Rome, July 20.—(UP)—Members of the crew of the dirigible Italia, already rescued, have been ordered to return to their homes immediate- ly and also have been instructed to abstain from making any further statements or giving interviews, The government ordered the Citta Di Milano to carry the men to Nar- vik from where they will proceed to Italy. ‘The Citta DI Milano meanwhile was ordered to return to Kings Bay to collaborate in the search for the men who floated away with the envelopc of the polar craft. Plan Investigation Oslo, Norway, July 20.—(U" An unconfirmed report here, said to huve started in Rome, was to the effect that JTtaly planned a thorough Investigation of General Nobile's Polar cxpedition as soon as the members of the Italia crew had re- turned to Italy. ATTWOOD RESIGNS AS C. OF C. HEAD (Continued from First Page.) the Commereial Trust Co. It is reported that Mr. Robb would be a popular candidate for the presidency and would be unoppos- ed. If Mr. Robb declines to accept, John C. Loomis would be in line, it is said. Amopg the younger element Max Porter scems first choice, with Fred O, kliffe and Charles W. Hawkins as second. RBenson Congratulated Mr. Benson was notified last eve- ning by the president of a large manufacturing establishment the controversy has made him one of the biggest men in the state. Local tuctories as wellas business men have called up to“congratulate him, and out of town chambers are tele- phoning in their congratulations. One factory called yesterday before the Herald was on the street with the story of the mecting, and said “We don't know how you came out but we want you to know we are with you." Heated Mecting Yesterday A different version of the police- Chamber of Comme controversy was disclosed at the sceret meeting of the Chamber directors yesterday. President W. E. Attwood an- nounced his intention of resigning at least three timee. The explanation which had not hitherto been made public, due to the disinclination of Chamber of Commerce officials to state their side of the case, was that in writing the letter to different Chambers of Commerce throughout the state Sec- retary Benson was clearing up & misunderstanding created by adver- tising solicitors. According to information received by the directors at their meeting yesterday, when the police program committee sold the advertising priv- ileges to the Rernard Cutier adver- tising agency in New en for $1.500, the Cutler azeney to keep whatever profits were made over and above that amount, Chief Hart gave seven or more letters to solici- tors stating that they w selling advertising for the benefit of the | New Britain police department, | Agents for Mr. Cutlir were ques tioned in Waterbury and othe cities about this letter. S Green of Waterbury, Seere of Manchester and other s aries | communicitcd with Mr. enson ask- ! Ing why their towns were heing go- licited for the benefit of the New | got in artment, the touch | learned Catler o ot New Brftain police | { Nobile, | leader of the ill-fated expedition who | polar ice cap they | that , !would not bencfit from the sale of the edvertising. _ MJ Attwood, as president of the Chamber is said to haye! become annoyed because Mr. Bensen acted on his own initiative and the atmos- I phere has been rather tense for |several days. It was freely pre- dicted yesterday morning among di- rectors that the meeting could not | possibly 1esult in anythihg but & resignation, and that cither the president or the secretary would re- sign was accepted as a natural de- velopment. Chief Hart and Patrolman Dolan | were invited to the meeting and were warmly greeted by Mr. Att- wood. . The police represenfatives as well as Sccretary Benson werefrequested to step outside while the matter was under discussion. Mr. Attwood Ihad previously donfed a request that the press be admitted, al- though the invitation to news- papermen to attend directors' meet- ings has never been officially with- drawn, During the mecting things got rather stirred up and for a time the atmosphere was quite heated. The meeting lasted from 12:15 until 2:30 o'clock. Although there were no personalities, fecling Is reported to I have become quite bitter and ques- tions of Chamber of Commerce finances also came in for some comment, Attorney Donald Gaffney at this time is said to have challenged the legal right of either Chief Hart or Patrolman Dolan to sign a contract for the police pension fund, stating that the trustces of the fund are the only ones authorized to act for it. Treasurer Charles Hawkina apoke on the financial status of the Cham- ber, in which he 18 alleged to have disagreed with Mr. Attwood on the method of certain financial detalls. It was during the heat of the dis- cussion that Mr. Attwood is alleged to have sald he would decline to remain as president of an or- ganization which backed up the sec- retary instead of the president. This statement was followed by a 2rmt to resign, and the resignation reat was repcated on at least two other occaslons, it is said. When a vote was called Steve Robb, Charles W. Hawkins, Judge w. Hungerford, K. J. Porter, Joseph R. Andrews, C. F. Bennett, Attorncy Donald Gaffney, and Par- don C. Rickey votad to table the whole matter. Stanley R. Eddy, T. P. McAuliffe and Paul K. Rogers voted with Mr. Attwood against the { motion, In yesterday's Herald it was dv |Toncously stated that former Presi- | | dent John C. Loomis and C. F. Ben- |nett were present at the meeting. HUNTER, HENNESSEY WIN THEIR GAMES (Continued from First; Page.) matches for the United States wh he defeated Gaslini. The Italian no match for the New Yorker and |the several hundred spectators on |hand for the opening of the intei | zone finals were never in doubt as to the outcome. Gaslini showed P)— flashes of form but was not consis- | tent while the American used his powerful forearm to advantage throughout. | Hunter Is Superb After the first half dozen games | the American, “who has seldom been |steadier, outclassed the Italian, | whose last minute substitution for the ambidextrous De Stefanl far from heiped the cause of the Euro- pean contenders. The American pounded his rival's backhand unmercifully but did not rely on speed entirely, placing his lahnu craftily, mixing the pace and ' keeping his opponent running. Hunter pierced Gaslini's service thrce times in each set, losing his own delivery only once—in the fifth game of the second set. The Ital- ian's pluckiest attempts to rally came in the early stages of the first and third sets, but the offensive col- lapsed each time as Hunter refused to yicld command of the situation. After Gaslini had taken the first game of the match on his service, | Hunter quickly checked him and Itook the lead. The American’s serv- cc was too swift for his opponent nd he evened the count at one-all, osing a single point in the second game, Keeps Opponent Running Hunfer's drives, well-angled and under ‘good control, had Gaslint running and he took the third and fourth games, breaking service after deuce had been called once in the third game. The slim Italian with his head kerchief was obviously ner- vous, but displayed good backhand strokis although they were consid- erably softer than Hunter's. The | American played carefully. Again Hunter's steadiness pre- vailed and gave him the fiftth game and the lead at 4-1. After deuce had been called four times in & serics of prolonged rallies, Hunter's cross court fire proved effective de- spite some good recoverics by his | opponent. He then took his own service with the loss of a single point to win the first set, 6-1. Hunter reeled off the first four games of the second set in short or- der while the gallery applauded only sporadically the one-s Gaslini's poor control and inex- perience made Hunter's job an easy one. The American pounded his rival's backhand and the rallies were scldom prolonged, Hunter losing only sqven points in the four games, Gaslinl maintained his best aver- age again by taking one game, the fifth, with the aid of two fine pass- | ing shots and an overhead smash. | Hunter put on steam and captured the next two games and the sct at 6-1. Although the Ttallan’s defense tiffened in the third set and he orced the first three games to dence before losing them. Gaslini curled up fore Hunter's vicious play in the final three gamen, losing 6-0. The American’s power almost blasted Gaslini off the courts as his power- ful forehand drives kicked up spurts of elny. Hunter won the last game at love, the only game thus won in the match. Henneseey va, Pe Morpurgo There was a erowd of more than 00 fn the stands when John Hen- nesscy and the Italian baron, Hum- ed encounter. ! ~ NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1928, PLAYGROUND ACTIVITIES bert De Morpurgo, his country first ranking player, took the court under overcast skies for the second singles match. Bill Tilden, deposed captain, looked on. Joseph W. Wear, chairman of the Davis cup commit- .tee and now playing vaptain with Tilden out, was with him on the sidelines. | Hennessey Plays Well | Hennessey put up a great battle 28 his match with De Morpurgo got under way and the Anrerican won the first set, 6-4 The powerfully buflt baron start- e@ impressively. Smashing with much assurance he took the first |game at love, alded by a velley ! placcment and three Hennessey er- !rors. The American braced on his {own service and took the sccond |game. The deciding point In his favor was on a sideline drive by the baron which appeared good to some of the onlookers, but was called out. Some of the spectators shouted in protest, but De Morpurgo insisted on accepting the decision. Teautifully controlled baselinesex- i changes marked the third game in [this first set. It was a prolonged ! struggle, deuced four times before the haron scored a forcing drive and sharply angled volley across court. Hennessey once was within a polnt |of winning the game, but finally lost it, Hennessey, steadying and whipping ! forchanders across like lightning |ran De Morpurgo ragged in the fourth game, but the baron's re- (it and it was deuced twice before Hennessey could take it. Ttalian Takes Lead The Itallan then took the lead, winning the fifth game at love. Hon- nessey lobbed persistently but the |teasing atrokes found the bharon un- perturbed and he smashed them now and again for furious kills, De Morpurgo, playing softly and |applying power only when there iwere good openings, broke through nervice to win the aixth game. Hen- nesney played the baren’s backhand without result and was trapped twice double-faulting once. Hennessey Fvens Count “Smiling John” rallied in the next game and renewing his forcing tac- tics had the baron making a series of errors and captured that seventh |game amid applause. He then even- ed the count at four games all by taking the elghth on his own deliv- lery, outgeneralling the Itallan and gauging the lines nicely. It was n tremendous uphill battle from be- hind, but Hennessey was making the grade, Hennessey's offensive carried him through the ninth game on another break and put him In the lead for the first time, The baren was pass- ed twice at the net. The American then won his fourth successive |game, taking the tenth and the set |at 6-4. Hennessey's control was fine. He forced the baron Into errors for the deciding two points after a net cord plus a fine cross court lacement Ihad helped De Morpurgo prolong the =met, Going strong. Hennessey took the first two games of the sccond et, [breaking service for the third straight time in the first game after |deuce had been called twice. The |baron tried more speed but Hennes- sey thrived on it, lashing his fore- handers viclously in return. De Morpurgo <teadied on his serv- ice, winning the third game. Hen- nessey came back to take the fourth after it had heen deuced once and he was leading 3-1, The Talian narrowlv averted an- other break in the fifth game win- ning after it had gone to deuce five times. The baron's carcless judgment of Hennessey's lobbing returns was {proving costly in this second ret and can's teasers hit inside when his op- ponent thonght they were going out. Staging a comeback in the sixth game, the haron evened the count, plercing Hennessey's service easily as the American's eontrol lapsed, hia {shots sometimes missing the line by a foot or more, | A fine overhcad smash offseting the marvelous backhand recoveries of Hennessey gave De Morpurgo the deciding point In the seventh game and he was in_the lead. The baron slipped and fell heavily in dashing after a sideline shot but he declined to take time out. A close line decision against him and a failure at the net cost Hennessey the cighth game after a sensational ex- change, Hennessey rallied and broke through service for the next gams 'after the Ltalian had been without a point of the set. The American's change of pace was effective and the baron’s play somewhat streaky. In the tenth game of the desper- ately fought sccond set Hennessey finaly won out on his own scrvice thus bringing the set to deuce at five-all. The deciding point in the game was lost hy the Baron on a close line decision. The crowd checred vociferously as the American broke through eervice in the eleventh game to lead, 6-6, the final exchange lnsting fully two minutes and both making fine re- coveries. Hennessey was at set point three times in the twelfth and deciding game of the ret before he finally pulled it out on the Baron's drive into the net. The Itallan’s coura- zeous stand was vnavailing against the American's speed. Hennesscy, still mixing the pace craftily and apparently in entire command of most of the exchanges, broke scrvice in the opening game | of the third set and then won on his lown delivery at love, De Morpur- | go's control was poor but he stead- {ied enough to take the third game. The American won the fourth which was a desultory back court battle |and was leading in games, 3-1, as well as in sets, 2-0. | Hennesscy's steadiness under the Itallan's hottest counter attacks ac- | counted for the fifth game of this third sct on another mervice break, hut the Ttallan came hack in the 'sixth, shooting across two place- | ments for the points that gave him the game. It was the last he won, however, and in the next two games he could get a total of only four points, KINDELAN IN HOSPITAL Edward G.

The democratic presidential nom- | ince himself already has ,discussed | the scnatorial phase of the question | with two senators of his political | falth—Tydings of Maryland and!

Tydings, chairman and Hawes s member of the democratic sena- torlal campaign committee, gave Governor Smith first hand Insight into their contemplated activitics at conferences which terminated hore yesterday. They proceeded to New York to confer with party leaders, | determined to work in close co- operation with the democratic na- tional committee in an effort to overturn the slim republican ma- Jority in the senate, Heads Committee Representative “Billy” Oldfield, of Arkansas, one of the war herses in democratic ranks, i head of the party’s congressional campaign com- mittce, whose.ehlef worry is to bring about the elcction of demo- crats to the house.

As they prepare to make their fight to wreat congressional control from the republicans, the democrats are faced with the necessity of up- setting a majority of 39 in the house. The lincup in the senate | during the close of the last session was 47 republicans, 46 democrats, one farmer-labor and two vacancics. Many Seats At Stake In all, 35 scnatorial scats are at stake in the November elections, of these the demecrats hold 20, the re- publicans 14, and a farmer-laborite one, Among the democratic scats in- | volved in the coming election are | those of Ashurst of Arizona; Ray- | ard of Delaware; Bruce, of Mary- land; Copeland, of New York; Dill of Washington; Edwards of New | Jerscy; Gerry of Rhode Island; | Kendrick, of Wyoming; King of | Utah; Locher, of Ohio; Necley, of West Virginia; Pittman of Nevada; Reed of Missouri; Walsh of Mon- | tana and Wheeler of Montana.

Sixteen boys who have been having the time of their lives | for the past two weeks, will return home. The completion of the new build- ing erected by the post members at the camp, has made it possible to accommodate two more boys than usual. While there, they will be un- der the dircet supervision of Camp | Director William Hamm., He has laid out a schedule of camp duties, recreation and play that keeps the boys busy from one end of the day to the other. The camp arises at 7 o'clock in the morning. After a brief calisthenic drill, the hoys enjoy a swim in the pool there for half an hour.
