 Next Tuesday

New Haven. Conn, Dec 1--(UP) Connecticut will be among the 24 states where citizens may legal ly slake their thirsts with strong drink or almost forgotten wines Tuesday afternoon. but it appeared doubtful today that legal liquor would be available that day.
 There are no dtstilleries in the state and whiskey may not be brought in, except for medicinal purposes, until repeal is an accom- plished fact.
 However, distributors expect to have sufficient supply on hand by the morning of Dec to take care of the rush. Most distributors plan to send their own trucks to the 6istilleries to insure prompt deliv- cry. :,
 Under the Connecticut law, all package stores which secured per- mits last spring to handle beer may stock whiskies and wines. They may sell in quantities of quart or more only, however, and there must be no drinking on the prem ises. Hotels and restaurants may serve beer and wine only. and the tar-equipped taverns may dispense nothing stronger than beer.

ICKES ANSWERS
 ALFRED E. SMITH
 ABOUT CHARGES
Gives Him Facts and Fig ures to Prove His State=
 ment Wrong

Washington, Dec. - (UP) = Alfred E. Smiths charge that the public works system had broken down brought sharp reply from Secretary of Interior Ickes, who is charged with administering the public works program.
 Ickes said:
 "All I can say in reply to MT Smiths statement is that it is im- possible to satisfy any man who is nourishing grudge as the result of disappointed ambitions MT Smith is permitting his resentment
 "He is apparently under the il- fusion that the coining of sarcas- tic phrases and the hurling of epi- thets will be misunderstood by sober- minded citizens for sound reasoning based upon careful study of the facts.
 The Public Works Administra- tion has functioned efficiently to date in spite of Mir Smith and it will survive this latest outburst. The Civil Works Administration was logical development of the Public Works program. Its con ception denoted real statesmanship. It was designed to, and in fact, is, taking up slack in employment that in the nature of things the Public Works Administration could not reach directly"
 Ickes' organization issued a re- port showing that all but $43S,000,- 900 of the S3,300,000.0 public works fund had been allotted. A survey of non-federal allottments showed that low-cost housing and slum projects received 14.7 per cent; sewers, 13.S; waterworks 13; strets and highways, 11.7; power projects, GA; schools, 5; miscel- laneous improvements, 2.S; other buildings, "A; hospitals, IS; and recreational facilities, 0.2.

MAY PLACE THE
 LOCAL AIRPORT
 UPON CITY LAND
Commissioner Morris Was Here To-day Looking
 Over the Local Sites

City owned property instead of real estate held by private individ- uals may be selected as the local airport, it was learned today. This morning State Commissioner of Aeronautics Charles L. Morris came to Waterbury from Hartford and in company with Joseph T. St Louis. secretary to Mayor Frank Hayes. inspected a large tract of land held by the municipality in the rear of Rrookside home. ] Waterbury Is considering taking advantage Of the $la0,OO0 allot- ment given the state of Connecti- cut under the CWA program. AL ready several owners of private property have suggested their .in- dividual tracts as the sites for the local airport.
 Of course, this would mean that the land would have to be bought by the city. However. by utiliz- ing city-owned land, this initial investment would be gotten around and the entire amount of money received would be available for use in developing the local landing field. Other properties mentioned, privately owned, are located on Bucks Hill, East Mountain and in Wolcott.
 The feeling of the local officials is that no ut-of-town property should be bought to- institute a local airport, hence the boiler that the tract in the rear of Brookside Home will be the one finally de- cided upon providing State Aero nautics Commissioner Morris finds that the location Is adaptable for landing field purposes
 Under the CWA grant of $130,000 to Connecticut, the cities must fur nish the sites. The money, itself, can only be used in development work.
