Fifty officers of the United States fleet will be guests of honor at the cruise-dance that will be held on Sunday evening, June 17, at the Hotel Astor, as part of the ceremonies planned to mark the departure of the fleet from New York harbor.

Carlos L. Israels, Leona J. Herrmann, Morris Berger, Robert Berns, Rose Levenson, Oscar Merber, Martin Biernbach, Pay Blatzer, Magda Fogel, George Goldner, Leonard Belford, Abe Bloom, Irwin Ciner, Muriel Jaret, Caroline D. Munter, Marion Goldstein, S. Martin Adelman, Rita Warschauer, Martha Jacobson, Morris Kikoler, Frances Becker, Frances Grossman, Dora Kahn and Ryva Roberts.
