Record in Amazing
Derby Triumph
sturetor, Outsider, Runs
Second as Winner
Stages Hot Finish
By FRANCIS E. STAN,
Star Staff Correspondent.

CHURCHILL DOWNS, Louisville,
KY, May 3.-Roaring down the
track in the fastest mile and a
quarter ever run at historic
Churchill Downs and making a
mockery of what promised to be
free-for all among at least sever
well-matched speedsters, Whirlaway
of Calumet Farm won the 67th
running of the Kentucky Derby
here today before 10000 gasping
spectators.
The handsome, unpredictable
chestnut colt went a mile before
he fell into a running mood and
when he responded to the earnest,
intelligent ride of little Eddie Ar
caro-, Whirlaway literally leaped
from fourth to the front and, as
Warren Wright's ace tore past the
finish line, he was eight lengths
ahead of the closest contender and
clocked in the amazing and un-
precedented time of "a seconds fol
the last quarter.
Whirlaway made history today.
From the record of 2:0145 which
Twenty Grand established in win
ming the 1881 Derby. the son of
the imported Blenheim adjust
whirl clipped two-f1fths of second.
Moreover, he became the first 2-year-
old champion to win the bluegrass
special since Norwich in 1921. The
early winter book favorite. Whirl-
away today became the first such
to win since Gallant Fox in 1880.
Long-Shot Staretor Second.
Far behind but only a neck ahead
of his own nearest challenger came
Hugh S. Nesbitt's Staretor, long
shot and only gelding among the
IL hcrses which faced the barrier.
Nesbitt's 30-to-1 shot beat out Louis
Tufano's Market Wise and far be-
hind the brilliant new champion
came such highly regarded colts as
Porter's Cap, fourth; Little Beans,
fifth; Dispose, sixth; Blue Pair,
seventh; Our Boots, an apologetic
eighth, and Robert Morris, ninth.
Two more long shots, Emerson F.
Woodward's Valdina Paul and
Cleaveland Putnam's Swain were
paired in the field and ran precisely
according to the 20-to-1 odds, finish
ing tenth and eleventh, respectively.
But the whole show was Whirla-

Reichstag Summoned
To Hear Declaration
OF Government
Important Turning Point
In War Appears at
Hand in Berlin
Ey the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, May Sunday THE
Reichstag is to meet at pm. today
I'll am, E. S. To to receive a dec
Aration of the Reichs government.
An official announcement said:
THE German Reichstag will as
semble at pm. tonight. On the
days agenda: Acceptance of dec
laration of the Reichs government
The session will be broadcast over
all German stations"
Today's Reichstag meeting will bt
the first since July 10, when Adolf
Hitler offered Great Britain a "last
chance" to withdraw from the con.
flict.
He outlined no conditions for q
peace, but said it was senseless tc
prolong the war. He set no time
limit for Britains answer to his
appeal ito reason"
Today's session of the Reichstas
may have been called to hear sum-
mary of Germany's triumphant Bal
kan campaign.
An important turning point in the
war appeared almost at hand to-
day as Berlin concentrated its at
tention on the swiftly moving event;
in the Near East.
The possibility of some declara-
tion of policy was discussed in in
formed quarters, and the words
new phase" was being heard as
events speeded up in the Eastern
Mediterranean and Asia Minor.
To date Germans have divided
the war into sharply distinct phases:
Poland, Norway, France, the Balkans.
Hence an air of expectancy settled
over Berlin and Germans asked
one another: Will similarly dis
tinct campaign be the Reich's next
move?
Authorized spokesmen were nom
communicative save for such OBJ
servations as "the war doesn't stand
still' or coming events cast their
shadows before them"
But Germany's intense interest in
the Near East was obvious and the
cheering for Iraq, now fighting the
British imperial forces, swelled in
volume as news reports told of ex-
panding operations there.

These victories in the darkness

Government experts deem most

States, Id have the naval and aero
nautical experts of the Government
tell me the best method and then
proceed on their advice. I do not
pretend to have the technical
training to determine the best
method of delivery, but am in favor

advise" r.. .. s..
Increasing Demands Expected.
At the Capitol, meantime, there

American conveys.
Senator Guffey, Democrat, Of
PENNSYLVANIA voiced the first such
plea Thursday, and it was disclosed
yesterday that Senator Pepper, Dem

ments of that nature because OF
uncertainty as to whether they
might prove embarrassing to Presi-,

Senator Tobey, Republican, of New
Hampshire, author of an anti-con-
voy resolution, contended Senator
Guffey's statement and Senator
Peppers projected speech were part
of an administration program to
