THE HERALD Thursday, February 17, 1977 Section 5--15 U.S. visa troubles for Italian reporter ROME (UPI) The qulpsters at Italian Communist party headquarters say Alberto never got his visa to the United States because he waltzed off with Betty and made Jerry Jealous. "I once danced with Betty Ford at the White House dinner for (Italian) President Giovanni Leone," explained Alberto Jacoviello, a 55-year-old journalist. "Ford may have been jealous but this is ridiculous," he chucked. Actually, Jacoviello has not been granted the visa 10 months after his first application because he Is a member of the Italian Communist party.

COMMUNISTS, or those affiliated with Communist parties or publications, are specifically denied visas to the United States by the so-called McCaren Act a 1952 product of the cold war and McCarthyism. A correspondent for the Communist a 280.000-circulation daily L'Unita since 1948. Jacoviello had requested a U.S. visa in order to open his newspaper's first Washington bureau. Despite the McCarren Act, L'Unita editors didn't expect any problems.

Jacoviello had been allowed Into the United States on the special Leone tour and other Communist news organizations, including the Soviet news agency Tass, already had offices in Washington. Western diplomats also hinted the U.S. government would look favorably on the choice of Jacoviello, an outspoken man who has often refused to toe his party's line and who has more than once irritated party officials by writing exactly what he pleased. "When I first applied to the embassy in Rome last April, I was told that in principle there was no obstacle to the visa but that I to wait for an okay from Washington," Jacoviello said. WASHINGTON has not responded, however, and periodic requests for information on the application's status have been greeted with unofficial pleas for "pazienza (patience)." "It's a scandal," said Jacoviello.

"If they would at least have the decency to say no we could protest. As it is, we are left hanging." Jacoviello noted that U.S. correspondents need no visa to enter Italy and can work here permanently with only a minimum of formalities. "There is a question of reciprocity here," he said. "The Communist party is a power in Italy today L'Unita may be forced to ask the Italian gov- ernment to take appropriate measures against say the Rome correspondents of the New York Times or The Washington Post." The Communist party is indeed an indirect power in governing America's strategic NATO ally.

In last June's election, 10 million Italians, or 34.5 per cent of the electorate, voted Communist giving the party life-or- death power over the current Christian Democratic party minority government. U.S. officials complain that L'Unita chose a bad time to apply. Not only were Italy's elections coming up last April, but President Ford was then fighting a right-wing attack from within his own party. It was hardly the moment, U.S.

officials said, for Washington to appear to be relaxing its attitude toward Italy's Communists. BUT STATE Department officials privately say the McCarren Act is an outdated, pain-in-the-neck which they hope Congress will soon amend. U.S. Embassies abroad' have found numerous ways to circumvent the McCarren Act. In fiscal 1975, for example, 18,240 persons worldwide were denied visas to the United States because of their political beliefs.

Of those, 17,465 were later quietly granted "waivers." A "waiver" visa is considered a snub by most, however, since it is for a shorter period, is not multiple entry and requires submission of a rough itinerary. Low-level Communists find it easier to obtain a "waiver" visa than ranking members of the party because embassies are afraid of the publicity more important Communists might generate both in their own countries and in the United States. Thus, in 1975, Communist leader Giorgio Napolitano was refused a visa to attend an academic conference and Sergio Segre, head of the party's political section, was denied a visa after being invited to a U.S. Foreign P'olicy Council meeting in New York. YOUNG ITALIAN leftists say U.S.

visa restrictions are in direct violation of the 1975 Helsinki agreement on security and cooperation which contained pledges to allow a freer flow of information and printed matter and promises to reduce visa and travel difficulties for foreign journalists. "The United States is always complaining that Moscow violates the spirit of Helsinki by restricting movement and a free exchange of ideas," said one young leftist. "You should look in your own backyard." The leftists also complain that members of the Neo-Fascist party, like party leader Giorgio Almirante, are allowed to travel freely in the United States. "Under the current law we are obliged to deny visas to Communists who might be assumed to be going to the United States for the purpose of conducting party business," explained Leo Wollenborg, a U.S. consular official in Rome.

"The only restrictions that apply to Fascists would be if they had been convicted of a war crime." ONE LABOR LEADER, a non-Communist but active in Italian New Left politics, was recently denied a visa to visit his family in the United States. While awaiting Washington's decision on a "waiver," irritated relatives telephoned the State Department. "He was here just last year and" the U.S. government seems to have survived the trauma," said one sarcastic relative. "Thank you very much for the information, Madam," responded a politely efficient State Department official.

"I can assure you it will be taken into consideration in his favor when the case is reviewed."

Last trip for Wrigley ship; steamer faces auction block by JACK FOX LOS ANGELES (UPI) It was the year 1924 when the "Great White Steamer" built by chewing gum magnate Philip Wrigley first sailed into the jewel-like harbor of Santa Catalina Island on its maiden crossing from Los Angeles 26 miles away. A band serenaded the 2,000 passengers with "Avalon," destined to become the theme song of the island. "I found my love in Avalon, beside the bay.

"I left my love in Avalon and sailed away." In the years that followed, the morning arrival and evening departure of the SS Catalina never failed to bring throngs to the dock. Boys dived into the crystal waters to retrieve coins tossed by passengers from the deck in an Anglicized version of South Seas welcomes. PRESIDENTS Calvin Coolldge and Herbert Hoover made the trip. Lionel Hampton played at the island's Casino and young lovers kept on dancing cheek to cheek in the ship's ballroom on the voyage home under the stars. Wrigley, who owned all of Catalina for years until he sold most of it to Los Angeles County in 1974 for conversion into a park, had the steam- propelled ferry built at a cost of $1 million to lure tourists to the barren island whose principal inhabitants had been wild boar, goats and bison.

It was operated by various owners in the decades that followed. The 301- foot ship made 9,807 two-hour crossings carrying close to 20 million people. In the 1960s and early 1970s it began to lose popularity. It was plagued by union troubles. There was rowdiness among the passengers, particularly teen-agers who ran wild on the decks on the return voyages.

The captain began keeping a pistol in the wheelhouse.

IS, 19, 31, 1977. 1977. In March 1975, federal marshals "arrested" the ship and held it briefly in lieu of payment of docking fees at San Pedro. AN OUT-OF-COURT settlement was reached under which the Catalina was released so it could be used for the film, "Farewell, My Lovely." The ballroom was converted into a gambling casino. Robert Mitchum starred in the role of private eye Philip Marlowe.

The "Great White Steamer" was not to sail again. Tied up in litigation and fighting operating expenses from other surface and aerial shuttles, the Catalina sat idle during the summer of 1976. Today the ship goes under the auctioneer's hammer on orders of U.S.' District Court Judge Harry Pregerson in an attempt to pay off some of its creditors. There are reports two parties, one from Ecuador and the other from Bellingham, are considering purchasing the ship for use as a floating restaurant. On the other hand, it may simply be torn up for scrap.
