Three New Airports
 Proposed For State
War Department Obtains SSOO,OOO in WPA Funds for
 Sites at Danbury, WiIlimantic, 0rotOn

In response to War Department requests for the creation of rnore class 3 airports, over S600,000 in WPA non-labor funds has been d. located for municipal airportS at Danbury and Willimantic and the states Trumbull field, 0orton, WPA Administrator Howard Staub an nounced today.
 While further improvement is pro- posed for the class 3 airports al Hartford, New Haven and Bridge port, under recently announced CAA grants, the emphasis on expanding class i and 2 a1rports Is regarded as of even greater military import ance.
 The newly allocated non.laboE flnds-e23B 900 for Danbury, 9l85,- 900 for Willimantic and Si00,0o0 fol 0roton - will be supplemented bS labor funds from the WPA and anything additional the sponsors may pledge in proposals to be drawn up.
 Relocating the position of the two landing strips under develop ment, 4,OO0 by 800 feet, will, 1t iS estimated, cut down the amount of excavation necessary by 100000 tc SO0,0OO cubic yards. Already over 500, 900 cubic yards of earth and rock have been shifted from high to low spots in this gigantic earth moving job.
 Details of the further develop ment planned at Danhury are being worked out by local Ad WPA enc glneers. The original plan for this field, called for construction of a Glass 2 airport on a Glass 3 site plan which will probably be en- larged upon now.
 The states Trumbull field at Gro- ton, which is being used under an arrangements with the U. s. Army by units from Mitchell Field, L. I. has ben enlarged to twice its orig. inal size by WPA workers. and plans for building runways are being con- gldered.
 At New Haven and Hartford, WPA proposals now awaiting approval in Washington call for extension of runways. Including the CAA funds, total allocations proposed for this work are 423e, ,TB0 for New Haven and 4llS ,A26 for Hartford.
 Two new rlInways, one of them a blind landing runway, 4,700 by l60 feet, were constructed at Hartfcrd'a Brainard Field during the past sunl- mer, work having been completed on the second one late last month
 Bridgeport's new $I00.00O CAA grant was designated for use iEl extending two of the 35O0-foot run ways to 4,000 feet ct the northwest end of the Held. Local officials have not yet agreed to this plan which would involve purchase oi additional property.
 Of these three airports, only VII. limantlc was included in the recent CAA grants Of nearly $500 900. Witf eles. .00O from the CAA, this 9Ie5,. 900 from WPA and the labor fund ln an amount still Co he determined tho Willlmantie airport project vii bo one of the largest in the state

 There Is SO little for the customs officers to do In unoccupied France that most Of them are being used as special officers standing around in blue-caped groups Of two and three in the larger towns and acting as perambulating information booths.
 Newspapers in unoccupied France are working under tremendous difh- culties, Most newsprint and ink comes from Germany, with the re- suit that the Germans have power over the French press even above their military hold. The same is true for movies, for most film Is import

 Zurich, Nov. lB-(UP)-Recenlty I visited Vichy again after . lapse of six months, to find 1t quleter and more dignifled than before, but still crowded with people, Etlll full of soldiers and still with an air of un- settled temporariness about 1t.
 The authorities are more careful about who comes to Vichy these days. Before the train arrives, a plain-clcthes policeman goes through the cars and asks to see everyone'S passport. At the station, military guards are on duty, Two Sentries stand guard before the door Of the Hotel du Pare whence Mar- Shai Henri Philippe Petain issues almost every morning for his brisk stroll around the famous Vichy Park.
 I watched one press censor at work-the woman who listens to press phone calls going out of France. She sits ct c table covered with telephones, her feet on Q door, mat for warmth (Vichy's buildings are not yet heated). From time to time she lifts one of her battery of receivers and listens quietly put ting the receiver back if the call Is regular, cutting the line if not. Tho rest of the time she reads naga- zines.
 This year there were virtually no health-seekers in Vichy for the baths. Vichy's former patrons, 1t was explained, were mostly from Paris where city life made such tonic baths necessary.

Libby Mon Knew
Leoder of Rebellion

Libby people who sat in the koo-
tenai Theatre and saw the picture,
Northwest Mounted Police" might
have got an additional interest from
that very good picture had they
known that Libby man was well
acquainted with one of the char
acters portrayed.
The picture is built around the
stirring times leading up to the
half breed rebellion that took place
in Canada in 1885. Louis Riel, a
quarter-breed, was the leader of the
rebellion and as the picture opens,
Riel is shown teaching school in
Montana. Will Doak, Libby resi-
dent, was we'll acquainted with Riel
and remembers distinctly those STIR
ring days.
In many ways Reil was a fine
man." said Mr.. Doak. "He was well
educated, very polite and courte-
Gus, and a man one would like. He
made a striking appearance, was
powerfully built physically, and
when l knew him he wore full
black beard" Z
After the rebellion was put down,
Reil was captured by the Canadian
government and hanged. Doak says
that where Riel made his mistake
was in attempting to set up an in
dependent government Had he con-
fined himself to correcting the
wrongs done the half-breeds, he
could probably have succeeded in a
large way.
Another Libby man, James Har-
ris, ST., says he recalls well the
rebellion. He was in Canada at the
time and remembers seeing troop
of the mounted police as they re-
turned from the big fight He says
he was surprised to see that the
men looked so young and in such
poor condition.
! In a note on the half-baeed re-
bellion, the Standard Encyclopedia
says: ''Riel was an eloquent, bril-
liant, magnetic man, man born
to lead but doomed to failure be-
cause Of the narroWness of his Wis
ion and his instability"
