HYDE PARK, Dec. Is (A) - President Roosevelt declined to comment in Secretary Ickes' crit icism of Paul McNutt as a pos sible candidate for the Democrat ic presidential nomination.

Radio Appeal Is Made to Russia To End War

HELSINKI, Dec. Is (H) Fin lands foreign minister Vaino Tanner appealed in a radio broad cast to Russia"s foreign commis- sar Molotok for the suspension of hostilities and the resumption of negotiations on the basis of the principle of the small na- tion's right to self determination.
 Tanner, who took part in the long g-draWn Kremlin negotiations which preceded the Russia inva- sion, recalled that Russia lent support to the principle and re called also how the Moscow gov arnment broke off diplomatic re lations with Finland, refused mediation by the United States, rejected SWeden's offer of concil- ialtion and spurned the League of Nations appeal for mediation of the dispute. However the air is still open" Tanner said.

League Nations Asks Members To Aid Finland

GENEVA, Dec. IA (P) - The League of Nations by an unani- nous vote of its council expell- ed Russia because of her inva- sion of Finland. Four members of the council including the mem Der from Finland abstained from voting in the expulsion action. The others were China, Yugoslav ia and Greece. The vote on the resolution declared as a result of Russia's actions toward Fin land "the United States of Soviet Russia is no longer member of the League"
 The unanimous vote of the coun cil is necessary to expel a mem- Der but abstentions does not af- feet unanimity. This is the first time in League history that ma ton has been expelled by the council.
 The move followed action by the assembly condemning the Russian aggression and asking members aid for Finland and ap proved the invitation of non- league members such as the Unit ed State to also help the little republic.

so fascinated was she at seeing race
track from the inside.
They passed the G. v. Whitney
stables, painted in the Elton blue and
brown, the Whitney colors.
Here grooms carrying buckets, went
about looking more like Pullman por-
tiers, in spic and span white uniforms.
She could see the floors Of the
stables. They look as spotless as a
perfect kitchen.
AS they neared the end Of the road
way, Heather saw that the stables
were beginning to look more and more
shabby.
Men with stubble boards were stick
ing their heads out to stare at Heath
er.
"Don't pay any attention to those
roustabouts, Miss" advised Bassitt.
They're just riff raft"
No sooner had they arrived at the
Bassitt stable than he had a sugges-
ton to make.
"What do you say we take your
colt out on the track for a little spin,
Miss? It'll take the kinks out of his
legs after that long ride down here"
ooh, let's" Heather answered.
There was a delay when they reach
ed the track.
A battalion Of Whitney horses were
working en- masse. They looked like
troops of cavalry pounding down the
backstretch together, ridden by exer-
else boys in uniform blue jerseys.
Heather watched, visioning day
when she would own proud battalion
of horses like this.
| Bassitt at length turned to Dimples
Draper, his baby-faced rider, saying:
"Hey, kid. Take this colt three
eighths and cut him loose. I want
to see how fast he can rum"
Heather stood on the track, entranc-
ed as Knight Errant came thunder by
her.
Stop watches in their hands, bat
terry of checkers scurried back and
forth from a perch at the top Of the
grandstand to verify the time. Three
eighths in 80 1-5! Yes, it was right.
They all caught it.
"Who's that thing?" they asked
each other, excitedly. "Never seen
him before. Might be that good one
of Vanderbilt's."
"Boy, is that baby fleet Of limb!"
