AIRPORT TITLE AGAIN CHANGES
Mt. Tobe Property Deed to Waterbury, Middlebury
 IncOrpOratOrs

Title to Mt. Tobe airport has been transferred by the Waterbury Airport CO. to Charles H. Upson, of Middlebury, and Alfred Rowland. Waterbury, according to deed filed with the town clerk at Plymouth. But this does not mean sale of the property, according to Attorney Richardson Bronson, secretary, who said that MT. Rowland and MT. Up- son are among the original incor- porators of the company.
 /The Airport Company will be dis solved, however, and what plans the title-holders have were not imme- diately learned, due to absence of both from the city.
 Mt. Tobe airport, considered by aviators to be one of the best in this section of the state, has chang ed ownership several times, each successive operator adding improve ments to the field although it has not been established as cornmer- cial airport. Local aviators are of the opinion that Waterbury eventu- ally will have use for the field as a municipal airport due to increasing demand for both commercial and passenger air service.

 said officials were striving to as- semble all facts concerning Italy's military move. He indicated that a statement might be made today. It was believed that the state de- partment would not word its pro- test as strongly as it did on Hitler's absorption of Czecho Slovakia which was denounced as "wanton lawlessness." This government has only small interests in Albania. Hull said MT. Roosevelt was being advised of all developments by tel ephone at Warm Springs, Ga. Pre- sumab1y, he also was conferring by transatlantic telephone with am. bassadors in key European capitals s he has done during other recent crises.
 Diplomatic, military and naval au- thorities generally regarded Italian invasion of Albania as prelude tt larger military operations by the totalitariar1 powers. They said the Albanian venture may have beer designed to attract world attention for the moment as diversion cov- ering larger and more important move.
 Officials said the Albanian thrust also might have been intended tC frighten Bulgaria, Yugoslayia, Hun- gary and Roumania away from the French British "Stop Hitler" bloc.

 Journey Is Nightmare
 It had been a nightmare journey -160 miles in 18 hours over bumpy mountain roads in a motor car, es- corted by a troop of cavalrymen. With her were the kings five sis- ters and members of the families of cabinet ministers.
 The cars moved over the tortuous roads so slowly the cavalrymen had no difficulty in keeping up and ar- rived here last night.
 The young queen was so weak, so worried about her baby and her little mountain country, that she could not walk from her automo- bile. She was carried into the hotel on stretcher.
 This morning she asked her phy- sicians to permit her to give her message. They refused, so she sent her grandmother, the countess, to the United Press correspondent.
 The grandmother, herself Ameri- can born, said:
 'Though the queen was i'll yes terday, when King Fog told her she must go to safety she pleaded to be allowed to remain with him.
 "As we were preparing to leave, the Italian boinbers flew over the city dropping leaflets.
 "The king then had gone to the front.
 "The Italians had already taken Durazzo but our soldiers were re- sisting at several points just out- side.
 "When the king reached the front an Italian plane landed nearby bringing him negotiations from Mussolini. He received them. They told him Mussolini wanted the AL banians to lay down their arms so that the Italians could move in quietly. King Fog refused to ca pitulate in any manner. He said.
 T surrender to nobody"
 Italian Attack Begins
 "The negotiators departed and the Italians attacked.
 Before we left Tirana we heard that one of the Italian ships had been sunk off Durazzo.
 "Our party includes all the kings sisters and the families of cabinet ministers.
 'Let me remind you:
 "Queen Geraldine wants you not to forget to give her message tc the world that the Albanians will fight"
 The countess said that the queen would leave for Salonika aboard special train already awaiting her as soon as her physicians decided she was strong enough.

Police cleared the square in which the hotel is situated to prevent any excitement which might disturb the young queen.
 Fog greeted one of his sisters, who had accompanied Queen Geraldine, before going to the queens room.
 Just before he arrived, the young queen appealed to the world for aid.
 She had asserted that before she left Tirana King Fog had received reports that the Albanian navy consisting of several torpedo-speed boats-had sunk an Italian warship.
 Appeal Rejected
 She said that the king yester- day personally rejected an appeal, sent to him by airplane envoys from Rome to the front near Durazzo to give the "cease fire" order and submit to a peaceful Italian occu- patton which would leave him his throne.
 The king sent her word, she said that the Albanian nation never would submit to the Italians but would fight as long as they had to as they had fought the Turks for centuries. .....
 So weak that three physicians, in- cluding 8 specialist, whom King George of Greece rushed here, re- fused to permit her to see visitors she delivered her message to the world through her. grandmother Countess D'Estrelle DEkna.
 "The world must do something for our Albania" she said. "Its brave people will resist to the end. But we are such a small country! We can not possibly hold out for long Help us."
 Didn't Know of Entrance
 The g year old half-American queen did not know that the Ital- ians had entered Tirana this morn ing. In this moment of her misfor- tune she may have been thinking of her parents, the handsome Count Anton Apponyi, Hungarian Hussal officer, and the former Gladys Vir. ginia Stewart of New York; of hel happy girlhood at the Austro-H Hun. garian court and the vast estates of the Apponyis; of the war and thu dissipation of the family wealth of her carefree girlhood as Count. ess Jerry" in Budapest, of hel American-blooded determination tt get a job; of her work as 8 score. tary in the Budapest museum, wher, she sat at an entrance hall desl and sold postcard pictures of thu paintings and sculptures: of th' chance visit to the museum of Kinl Zog's laughing young sisters; O their conversation, of the invitation to visit Tirana and meet the bach elor king; of the later letters tell ing her that King Fog insisted tha she come because . postcard pic ture of her had made him think hi long search for a queen might b. ended; of her marriage and tn, birth at 3:30 Wednesday morning O. her first born child; of the boom. ing of 10l-gun salute in rejoicing and the last thing she remembered of Tirana, the roaring of 60 Italian planes over the city, dropping leaf. lets demanding the city's surrender

 The United Press in Berlin re- ported a large troop movement yes- terday in southwest Berlin, includ- ing there columns one of which re- quired an hour to pass. German of- ficials denied there was any signifi- canoe in these movements.
 Popular anger at Premier Benito Mussolini's march into Albania was shown by the tone of newspaper comment.
 Liberal and labor clements de- manded the recall of the British ambassador to Rome and the recall of parliament from its Easter re- cess.
 Political quarters expressed belief that the British friendship agree ment with Italy was dead even ii it were not formally denounced as the result of the Albanian march.
 It was held that by going into AL bania Italy had violated five specific engagements.
 1-The Italian- Albanian treaty oi friendship of 1928 under which Italy agreed to maintain the political juridical, and territorial status que in Albania.
 2LThe ish-Italian gentle mems" agreement of 1887 in which both countries agreed to rule out modification of the status quo re- garding national sovereignty anc territory in the Mediterranean area
 3-The British-I Italian agreement of 1888, covering the same ground.
 4-Mussolini's personal reafhrrna- tion to Chamberlain during thu prime minister visit to Rome ir January of all clauses of the 1e3s agreement.
