New York, April i7.--(uP) TO
the citizens Of q happier Paris an
Apache was Q staggering, treach-
eruus thief, TO the pioneers Of
Americas southwest an Apache was
O stubborn, courageous Indian. But
the l042 crop OF horse players say
Apache Ia q sleek colt with which old
sunny Jim Fitxsimmons will try
for his fourth Kentucky Derby

The stopped old trainer with the
ruddy face saddled Gallant Fox for

Omaha booming home IN 1888 and
grabbed the roses O third time with
Johnstown N 1899. Apache prob
ably doesn't rate with those, but he
may prove TO DO plenty good.

Yesterday 81 Jamaica, Apache
proved that n longer route held no
terrors for him. Racing In O three

the speedy First riddle for six
furlongs and then took the lead To
pull away and win by two lengths.
He ran the mile and one -sixteenth
IN the good time OF i:44 2-6.
Consistent
The Belair colt has two strong
points. First, he's consistent, Sec
ond, he ran better each star last
year and the Belair horses usually

Sweden Held Unlikely

BY WILLIAM II. SLOVENIAN,

Foreign CORRESPONDENT OF The Star and

LONDON, Feb 5.-Swedish news
paper comment on the recent
changes in Norway confirms private
reports that the Swedish govern
ment does not intend to recognize
Maj. Vidkun Quisling's phoney new
regime.
Sweden's reaction to Quisling's
assumption of the role Of premier
and his announcement that Sweden
would have to change its methods in
dealing with Norway, Is about as
anwarm as an Arctic blizzard.
According to Quisling," writes
the conservative Svenska Dagbladet,
the Swedish nation is to change its
methods in regard to Norway. But
these methods have been character
lied by exactly that honest and sober
realpolitik which Quisling promised
to practice against us. In this Ques-
ton of methods it might perhaps be
possible to establish some kind of

leadership here, no desire to see
Norway as the subject of any for
eign power. We in Sweden are
convinced that the great mass of
Norwegians, who are of the same
mind, are we'll aware of this Swed-
1sh attitude"
Everybody knows" writes the
Social-Demokraten, that If the
Norwegian people were free to ex-
press their opinion about the Outs
ling party its leaders would be swept
from power with one stroke"
Any possibility that Quisling will
be recognized by Sweden is thrown
out by the liberal Svenska Morgon-

eff, into the bargain, the question

GATHER UP THE
OLD RUBBER

(Redding Record-Searchlight
That old tire in the garage, those old
rubbers and crepe soles in the back of
the closet, that worn-out piece of rubber
hose in the basement-they're going to de-
termine whether your supply of gasoline
is to be rationed, and possibly how quick
ly we'll win the war.
If the rubber scrap collection campaign
is success, an enormous amount of rub
ber will be made available for war pur
poses. Possibly there will be enough for
meeting limited number of important
civilian needs. In any event, the gov
ernment can find out how much scrap
rubber there is, and can plan intelligent
ly for whatever rationing or restrictions
there must be.
President Roosevelt has delayed, until
after the results of the rubber drive are
known, the decision on whether to have
nationwide gas rationing as means of
saving the rubber in the tires now on the
nations automobiles.
Some of the articles wanted in this
drive are tire castings, inner tubes, crepe
rubber soles, boots and overshoes, hot
water bottles, tennis shoes, rubber belt
ing, rubber gloves, rubber sheeting, pads
and mating, raincOatS, rubber heels,
bathing caps, jar rings, plumbers sue
ton cups, sample tire sections, rubber
ash trays, and hundreds of other articles
containing rubber.
The petroleum industry is cooperating
in the drive, and your nearest service
station will accept your scrap rubber.

industry has pledged that any profit from
the difference between one cent per pound
and thc S25 per ton which the govern

old, unused rubber articles around your

son, correctly.
If Germany, Italy and Japan de-
sired to maintain peace, and turn
ed their productive efforts to peace
goods. and exchanged those COM
modities with other peoples, they
could get all the raw materials they
want, often below production cost.
But that is not the totalitarian
goal. Dictator nations, militaristic
peoples, want to create by conquest
a situation in which they can go
to war and possess. while at war,
the raw materials to make them
selves completely self sufficient.
one goal proclaimed by the At
lantic Charter is to make raw ma
terials available to all peoples. That
does not, however, mean that we
propose to apportion ownership OF
world territory SO that each great
nation will hold title to al exact
proportion of every important basic
commodity.
