President Dedicates Worlds Fair Yesterday
Fitches New YOrks Fair Wagon to the Star of Peace; Norway, Belgian, New Haven Day Today
 at Great Pageant

New York, May 1.-(UP)-Today was Norway day, Belgian day, and New Haven (Conn) day in the world of tomorrow.
 Yesterday was President Roose- welt day, and he formally opened the biggest exposition in the history by hitching the $157, 100000 Worlds Fair wagon to star-the star of peace.
 Your wagon is hitched to a star" MT. Roosevelt said in his first ad- dress since Adolf Hitler rejected his peace message. But it is star of good will, star of progress for mankind, a star of greater happi- ness and less hardship, star of international good will, and above all, star of peace"
 The crowds that will attend the second days per1ormance, and par ticularly the rank and file of the fleets Atlantic squadron, were hanging on today's weather. Fair and warmer will uncover tundras of nudity in the girlie-shows which was kept under wrap in yesterdays goose-pimpling (circa 50 Farenheit) temperature.
 Crowd BoOed, Then Cheered
 The shape of things to come was indicated when Rosita Royce, dove dancer in the amusement area, ap- peared fully clothed. The audience booed. Rosita went quickly into a strip-tease. The booes became cheers. The chorus in the offing took the cue and change to G. strings.

At the Savoy ballroom, Harlem projected into the world of tomor- row., 50 couples swung into the dance of tomorrow. It was too cold for the Savoy's "Kaloh", hot nude dancer.

 Careless Manner
Special to The DemOcrat)

State Capitol, Hartford, May l = Well-informed sources here today said that the Waterbury city mana ger referendum, already amended several times since its introduction and buffeted about in the upper House of the General Assembly, will be the object of parliamentary ma- neuvering when it finally reaches the floor of the Senate. The printed text of the bill is expected to be re- ceived by the Senate tomorrow which mans that action may be taken on the bill this week.
 Any one of several forms of par liamentary tactics could be used, but the possibility of their success cannon yet be predicted with any degree of certainty. One plan under consideration is the submission of an amendment which would wipe out the text of the entire charter proposed by the Citizens Good Gov ernment Association. Another possi- ble amendment is one which would call for the referendum on the charter to be held this month, rather than Oct. 3, as now provided. Still another possibility is an amendment making the charter not operative till January. 1941. if approved by the voters at referendum this year.

U. s. Neutrality Pact Expires At Midnight
Cash and Carry Provisions Only Are Affected; Re- armment Program Under Way to Cost Prob
 ably $l, zoo, ,OOO,OOO
BY LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent

'
 Washington, May 1.-UP)-The cash and carry provisions of the neutrality act expires at midnight to- night in the midst of national de- bate and uncertainty over most phases of foreign policy except re- armament.
 Congress and the President must agree on foreign policy to make it effective. Jointly they have launched a re-armament program which probably vii require appropriation of $1,700,0 100000 at this session of congress.
 These tremendous costs probably will continue for some time-at least until there is substantial reason to believe that the danger of World War has passed. Also likely to de- velop is a mushroom movement for new World War debt settlement ne- gotiations. There was a week. end Bucharest announcement that Ru- mania was willing to resume part payment of it's war debt to the United States. The Baltimore Sun reported that two other nations Great Britain and France-were showing eagerness to resume.
 Bars Debt Defaulters
 These developments recalled the fact that the Johnson act passed in 1884 bars all war debt defaulterS from the American money market. No individual or banker or this gov ernment, itself, can lend penny to a nation in default. The American money market financed the allied cause to victory in the World War. It would be a potentially vital fact in anther World War.
 Hungary proposed, and MT. Roos- evelt seemed Sympathically to re- ceive, in 1888, debt settlement plan which would have reduced her ob- legations but would have provided payment of the remainder in 60 annual installments. Congressional leaders baked, suspecting it was a maneuver sponsored by Great Bri- tain and designed to circumvent the Johnson act and restore the borrow ing power of defaulters.
 Maintenance of the Johnson act, proposed by Sen. Hiram w. John son, R., Cal, and re-armament on a st-what-it-may basis appeared to be the foreign policy factors upon which congress is fairly well agreed.

 ss~s4sR Rescue Plane

New York, May - (U.P9 - Brigadier General Vladimir Kok- khaki and Major Mikhail Gordi- enko, who crashed Friday on an is- land of the coast of New Bruns- wick while attempting a nonstop flight from Russia to New York, reach their ultimate destination to- day-the Soviet building at the Worlds Fair.
 They arrived at Floyd Bennett field last night in a rescue plane chartered from Harold s. Wander bilt by the Soviet Embassy. They had been 'ferried" from Moncton, N. B., after being removed from Miscou Island in two small planes.
 Met by Constantine Oumanski, counselor of the Russian embassy, and a noisy crowd of 500, the air. men, gave their greeting to this country through Pilot Kokkinaki:
 Greet You All, Comrades
 I greet you all, comrades, and am glad to greet you especially on this forthcoming May Day.
 Dock Commissioner John McKen- zie welcomed them in behalf of New York and the Worlds Fair.
 They had flown 8 hours and 40 minutes along tkeir projected non- stop dash which was part of Rus sia,s participation in the fair, when they crashed their plane in frozen swamp. Kokkinaki said last night that they were forced down because cold weather had frozen their radio compass over the Labrador coast. They were flying blind in heavy fog, he said, and had no choice but to land.
 Appear This Afternoon
 They will appear late this after noon before the giant heroic statue symbolizing the working man, at the Soviet exhibit. Exhausted, they spent the night at the Soviet con- sulate. Kokkinaki asked correction of reports that he had been in jured."
