AIlocation Of Funds Only Preliminary To
 Any Definite Action
Local Project Not Included in SSO,OOO,O 1000 ReCOnl- mendatiOn Congressman Smith Informed By
 Civil AerOnautiCs Authority

The proposed $487, 7,OOO airport for Waterbury, financed with federal funds, is far in the future, accord ing to information secured at Wash ingtCn today by Congressman J Joseph Smith. The project is part of Hong range" program, but is not included in the $8O,O00,00 re- quested for airport work during the next year.
 It was announced from Washing ton . few days ago that almost half a million dollars had been allocated to Waterbury for new airport, as part of the national defense pro- gram. This city is mentioned in the program, it develops, but any con- crete action during the next year is not being contemplated.
 Under the airport plan, devised by the Civil Aeronautics Author ity with U. s. army cooperation, ex- iSting fields are to be improved and new fields are to be built in key cities.
 Congressman Smith said today at Washington, after interviewing army and CAA officials:

The general character and policy
OF the Foreign Minister, Koht, have
been indicated in many specific
actions and transactions, as we'll as
in the broad fact of the mainte-
nance of a truly strict and honest
neutrality policy on the part of the
Norwegian government.
The fifth point may be stated
very briefly. 1t is this; Viewed as
matter of reprisal, the German
action in Norway cannot possibly
be justified even If we take Herr Won
Ribbentrop's disclosures" at their
full face value. If we give the
documents published the interpre-
tation that the Germans wish, they
still do not show any wrongdoing
on the part of the Norwegian or the
British government which is at all
commensurate with the actual and
undeniable historical wrongs which
Germany has perpetrated both upon
Norway and Denmark. "Reprisals,
be they positive or negative, must be
IN proportion to the wrong done
and to the amount of compulsion
necessary to get reparation." OPP
penheim, International Law, Vol. II,
p. SO edition of 1920. The princi-
pie that the German government
would like to have established ap-
parently is that international law
is stringent and precise system

Britain and France tor upon other
enemies of Germany, while Ger

in" What an innocent statement,
if any one will exercise the least
fairness in interpreting it
But in any event, it takes more
than mere words uttered by Nor
wegian officials to make q case of
completely on the part of the Nor
wegian government in the alleged
British plot. The statement quoted
from Mr.. Koht was cautious state
ment, and if fairly interpreted, it was
intended to be an expression Of Nor
ways firm intention to remain neu-
tral. The German assumption that
this statement implies a desire to
join the side of the allies, sets up a
standard of criticism with respect to
neutrals that can only be regarded
as rejecting the guilty consciousness
of the German leaders as to which
side is the wrong side" in this war.
Based on Oral Declaration.
From the point of view of inter-
national law, the primary question
in relation to the matters discussed
by Herr Won Ribbentrop is not the
rights of Germany against Great
Britain with whom she is already at
war, but the rights of Germany
against Norway. Germany cannot
justify the invasion of Norway ex-
cept on grounds that involve the
guilt or responsibility OF the Nor
wegian government with reference
to the requirements Of neutrality.
No such grounds are even alleged
in the German publication. except
the isolated statement of the Nor
wegian Foreign Minister above
quoted which does not fairly sustain
the construction that Germany evil
IDENTIFY wants to impute to it.
an any event, the German in
'dictnlent as to Norway rests on a
mere oral declaration, not consti-
tuting in itself evidence of real overt
acts or cooperation with the Brit
ish or other enemies of Germany.
We know from the official record
Of Foreign Minister Koht in recent
weeks that he protested very strongly
to the British government with ref
erence to the action of Great Britain
in the Altmark case. Norway was
so confident of her case in that
instance that she offered to arbi-
trate that dispute, an offer which
the British have not yet accepted.

|UNSOUND Horse
MADE CHOICE IN
100000 RACE
7=Year-O Old in Great ShOw-
ing Saturday - Santa
Anita Field Small
BY JACK GUENTHER
(United Press Racing Editor)

Arcadia, Cal, Feb. 26-(UP)-You
could have turned back the calendar
two years or three in this bustling
little race town today and never
known the difference, for Santa An
ita Park is ready to run another
100000 handicap and the name Of
Seabiscuit is up on the boards as the
favorite again.
1t went up over the weekend and
1t will stay there until Americas
fastest handicap horses are called
Saturday for the mile and a quarter
race that is the richest in the world.
He may be seven years old, he may
have a game right knee and a
gimpy left ankle, and he may have
almost a hundred races behind him,
but Mr.. Biscuit is still the public
choice-and a solid one at that.
Close to Record
He established his position beyond
dispute by winning the $4,000 San
Antonio handicap in track record
time of 1:42-2-5 for mile and lie.
He drove a full $4,000 closer to Sun
Beau's record of $376,744 in the, San
Antonio and is just SOS, 1854 short to-
day.
Seabiscuit won the San Antonio
in the same smashing style that car
ried him to the handicap champion
ships Of 1887 and 1898.
az oh 80
amazing feats in racing records. It
showed that the Biscuit was as full
of run as ever and just as able to
roll down the stretch as he was in
the days before he strained an ankle
ngament and went on the shelf for
a year.
A field of at least 16 was antici-
pated last Saturday morning, but
today the figure stood at IL and
then only nine horses appeared GER
tain starters. They were the Biscuit,
100, Pollard; Kayak II, 1879, She'll
hamer; Sun Lover, 119, Neves; Spe-
city, 116, Richards; Heelfly, ia,
Woolf; Whichcee, ia, James; Vis-
county, 10, Rodriguez; Can't Wait,
108, Longden; and War Plumage,
lot, Wall.
The others, mainly light-weighted
sprinters who will be sent along on
a gamble, will come from Don Mike,
Vino Puro, Beautiful II, Ra II, Pre-
cepter II, Wedding Call, Hysterical
and Teddy Kerry. None Of these has
a liking for distance. ~.
The one thing G. s. Howard fears
for the Biscuit is rain. He had q
pasteboard footing in the San AM
tonic, but heavy downpour has
drenched Santa Anita since. Wealth
er conditions are highly unceratln,
and the possible condition Of the
track is question that time alone
can answer.

The New York Rangers were en-
trenched behind q four-point lead
in the National Hockey League after

The veteran Johnny Gottselig led
the Chicago Black Hawks to q 81
win over the second place Boston
BUNS. Gottselig's two goals gave the

The Detroit Red Wings scored
three times in the first period and
then coasted to a Al victory over the
New York Americans. The win
strengthened the Wings grip on NTH
place, seven points ahead Of the
Americans.
