Hopping off after a week's sightseeing in Rome, Colonel & Mrs. Charles Augustus Lindbergh paused at Palermo, Sicily, stopped at Tripoli to visit Governor-General Italo Balbo, flew on to Cairo...
...exactly 10 o'clock members of the Grand Council of Fascism, followed by the Italian Cabinet, all in Fascist trimmings & trappings, marched into the great room. Goat-bearded Marshal Emilio de Bono, recalled last autumn from Ethiopia under a cloud, was there. Chin-tufted Libyan Governor Italo Balbo had flown over from Tripoli to attend the party.

A Finance Minister at the zenith of successful budgeting is abruptly returned to his private business, as was Count Volpi. A national hero like Atlantic-soaring Italo Balbo is swept off to rule an African province. Last week such a jolt came even to one of the "Four Men," the original Quadrumvirs who led the March on Rome while Mussolini gave orders from 400 miles away in Milan...
