AVIATOR EXPELLED

ACTION BY SWITZERLAND. ENTERED WITHOUT PERMIT. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) BERNE, November 29. The Government has. decided to expel the Italian aviator Buzzolesi. The ex-, pulsion is based on Buzzolesi’s entry into Switzerland without a permit. A fantastic anti-Pascist plot, in connection with which an aeroplane flew from France across the Alps to drop pamphlets attacking Mussolini, ended on July 14 in. disaster to Giovanni Bussolesi, the. pilot, who lost his way in a fog on returning from the successful execution of his mission, and crashed on top of a pass just inside the Swiss frontier. Monks picked him up gravely injured. Buzzoldsi persuaded the editor of a French aviation magazine to assist him to get an' aeroplane and load it with 100,000 pamphlets. The airman flew ro Milan and ernised over the centre of the city. The sky was white with anti-Fascist literature. The Italian police forces were marshalled and snatched the literature from the excited crowds, whilst fast fighting planes were sent up to catch the bold raider, but the machine disappeared towards Switzerland, where it crashed. Buzzolesi fled from Italy in 1928.
