F. H. Baetjer Bennett Field Set For Balbo Planes Due Wednesday Big Reception Planned for Armada--Public Will Face Rigid Rules The Italian air armada under Gen. Italo Balbo will arrive from Chicago at Floyd Bennett Airport Wednesday afternoon between 2 and 4 o'clock, according to latest plans, it was said today by Generoso Pope, Italian-American publisher in charge of entertainment and reception. The officers of the 24 planes will go first to the Ambassador Hotel and then have dinner at the Columbia Yacht Club, 86th Manhattan, at Riverside Drive.

Mr. Pope said: Will Meet President On Thursday General Balbo and his officers will go by train to Washington for a reception by President Roosevelt, Friday they will be flown back to Brooklyn in American planes. After a City Hall reception there will be a lunch at the Hotel Pennsylvania Friday noon. The Italian fliers will attend a dinner and reception at the Hotel Commodore in evening, under the auspices of the Italian Society of New York. Big Reception at Bowl Mr.

Pope said a number of Italian societies will join in feting the fliers Saturday at' lunch and in the evening there will be the huge reception at Madison Square Garden Bowl in Long Island City, with 000 persons expected. This is as far as the program has gone at present, Mr. Pope said. As soon as Gen. Balbo's plane alights, Maj.

Gen. Denis E. Nolan, commanding the second corps area of the Army, and Rear Admiral Yates Stirling commandant of the third naval district, will put off in the Admiral's barge to greet the Italian air minister and bring him ashore at the field. The 16th U. S.

Infantry band will play ruffles and then the Italian national anthem. Among the guests at the dinner Wednesday evening at the Columbia Yacht Club will be Governor Lehman, Mayor O'Brien and other civic leaders, with Admiral Stirling acting as host. Cites Regulations Capt. J. Nelson Kelly, field manager, said today that the general public will be kept a half mile away from the Italian fleet, which will be anchored off the seaplane base of the field.

Two of the Italian seaplanes will be exhiibted near the administration building, and air trips will be available from the field to near, but not over, the anchorage of the other planes. Residents of Belle Harbor and Canarsie will have as good a view of the landing of the Italians as those at the field itself, though the best point to watch the incoming planes will be from the Coney Island Boardwalk, before which the planes will pass almost as if in review. To Land According to Wind Capt. B. M.

Chiswell of the Coast Guard announced today that if the wind is from the west the Italian planes will alight south of Barren Island, while an east or south wind will bring them down to the southeast of the island. If the wind is from the north the planes will descend south of Canarsie. Three 165-foot cutters and 15 patrol boats will keep craft away from the landing and mooring area, Captain Chiswell said. Fieldpieces brought from Governors Island will fire a 19-gun salute from a favorably located shore spot on Jamaica Bay when the fliers land. Plan for New York Hop Chicago, July 17 (P)-Hundreds of gallons of gasoline were pumped today into the 24 seaplanes of Gen.

Italo Balbo's 96 transatlantic fliers as they prepared for the second phase of their epic flight, the return trip to Italy. Taking time out from the round of receptions that were strenuous enough to tire them more than did the 6.100-mile flight to Chicago from Obetello, Italy, most of the fliers spent several hours working on the six ton flying boats. The return trip, General Balbo announced, would start Wednesday morning. He indicated York would be the only stop between Chicago and the Azores Islands. A visit to Mayor Edward J.

Kelly in City Hall, a tour of the World's Fair and an inspection trip to Municipal Airport were among today's activities. A banquet was scheduled for Gen. Italo Balbo accepted today 'an invitation, to visit President Roosevelt at the White House late this week. Postmaster General James A. Farley presented the President's invitation while the Italian Air Minister was paying an official call at the city hall.

None of the Italian aviators participated in all of the trips about of paying their formal duties to get the city.

The robot trouble combined with a break in the oil feed induced Post to land at Moscow, he said. He hoped he had put everything in excellent order here before he departed. Post. who seeks to better the mark he and Harold Gatty set on a T'abe-girdling journey in 1931, had left Koenigsberg at 6:45 a.m. local time (11:45 a.m.

E. D. His monoplane swooped down suddenly out of the west, circled October Field, and then made A perfect landing. The airman took by surprise airport officials and the corps of foreign correspondents, who had not expected halt in Moscow, particularly because he spent the night at Koenigsberg, a comparatively short distance away. Post climbed out stiffly as his plane taxied to a halt.

"I need some work on the ship and also some gas and oil," he said. Directs Repair Work Approximately 200 officials and employes of the airport, with a sprinkling of members of the foreign colony, comprised Post's reception committee. After a private talk with the officials the airman directed Soviet mechanics repairing a broken oil line which forced him to land here. Post remarked: "I feel fine." The airport physician found him in excellent physical condition. His right eye, however, was very tired from the strain (he lost his left eye in an accident several years ago), and the doctor gave him a lotion for it.

The Oklahoman will make the remainder of his globe-circling flight without a change of clothing, having forgotten and left behind at Koenigsberg his suitcase, his officials only piece of baggage. Airport at Koenigsberg telephoned that the suitcase would be forwarded to Moscow by the regular commercial air service but Post replied, "I can't wait for it. Just have it sent home for me," and soared away without a clean shirt. Robot Went Wrong Post entered Russia at Vitibsk. He explained his landing at Koenigsberg by saying his automatic pilot and othe instruments were functionine, feared unsatisfactory he might at that lose his way.

Post was attired in thin gray trousers, a blue shirt and a blue tie. He was served a light meal in the airport after supervising repairs to the oil line and then he went to the airdrome barbershop for a muchneeded shave. Weather reports indicated that after he passed the rain storm he braved at the time of his departure he had fair flying conditions the rest of the way. He was behind the schedule he had arranged for himself, but was 4 hours and 24 minutes ahead of Stowaway Found Dead From Heat On the California 2 John on Deaths Borcherding, Murphy, Margaret Annie S.
