SUGGEST CRNGE " INPARADE ROUTE Macora Favors March Along Broad Street to Grove Councilman Lucian Macora, act-; ing for businessmen in the Broad street district, has requested that the parade committee for dedica- tion day amend its line of march to include the block between High and Grove street, instead of turning south on High street. The councilman has called on Mayor Paonessa in an effort to en- list the mayor's interest. He has pointed out that the change will in- vole little more marching, yet lt‘ will take in the center of the north- western business district. He is also of the belief that this change Wwill lessen traffic congestion in the cen- ter of the city since thousands liv- ing in the Broad street district will | be encouraged to go directly to the | park instead of going through Main street if they have an opportunity first to view the parade in their own neighborhood. A meeti @ of the parade commit- tee has by called for tonight and it is probable that this matter will be discussed. ?

Aided by a crowd of spectators, the Roma was pushed from the hangar at 11:15 a. m. daylight time and rolled on a apecial runway con- structed over the soft sand to the hard packed beach and headed into the wind. A rumor of friction in the Roma's flight arrangements reached new papermen this morning. Cesare Sabelll, reported as commanding the flight, admitted he was upset over an attempt, he said, of some one “working underground” to create friction between himself and Wil- liams. He did not divuige the names of the person or persons. He said that when he engaged Willlams as a pilot it was under- stood that he and Willlams both were to be pilots and that Sabelll, as commander, was not merely a figurehead. The persons working | against him Sabelli indicated tried | to make it appear that Willlams was the only pilot and that he him- aelf was merely the commander. He sald he and Williams had ar- 1anged to pilot the big Bellanca in two hour shifts. Sabelli emphasiz- ed his admiration for Willlams. This was to be a good-will flight, he said, and Willlams was the representative of the American peo- ple. Tt made no difference, Sabelll indicated, who took the checks at the beginning of the flight. The plan of two hour econtrol whifts would leave it to chance as to which man would be at the stick when the Roma landed. The Roma has enough gasoline to carry the fliers 800 miles beyond Rome, 8abelli said, and if they reach that objective they will con- tinue on in an effort to establish a long distance non-stop record. They probably will head Greece he said.
