Benefic aspects rule today, ac-
cording to astrology. The plane
tary government favors prelates

Under this rule of the stars
both the Protestant and Catholic
clergy will pursue positive meth
DDS in protecting their support
ers from hostile forces.
While the victims of persecu-
tions in foreign lands must suffer
greatly there are signs presaging
speedy relief and readjustments.
Despite opposition on the part
Of many Americans the United
States is to be haven for thou
sands of refugees. Indirect
methods will operate slowly but
surely for the oppressed who
seek new homes.
This Is a favorable sway for
organizing or promoting philan-
thropic and charitable move
ments. Relief problems are to
assume new phases which will
require private as well as pub
lie attention.
Women should find this a most
suspicious date for home hos

 Both the FBI and central Territorial office are needed to meet the challenge we now face from crim- inals, who it is admitted over-running Alaska as never before.
 A bill to put some teeth in the criminal dentifi- cation passed in 1887 is being debated in the Senate. It is claimed by some that the bill con tains several jokers. Without going into the matter of the merits of this particular bill it is sufficient tc state that some measure to- meet the need for cen tral agency for exchange of police information is urgent necessity If the present bill does not meet that need it should be possible for Legislators tc draft and to enact one which does.

AMMUNITION FOR A WAR ON CRIME
 IN ALASKA

Suppose a town had half dozen policemen and each policeman had street-corner of his own which he patroled without reference to any of the other officers in the town. Suppose the policemen never met to discuss and coordinate their mutual problem of policing the town each continuing pay attention solely his bailiwick and attention at all to any of his fellows Suppose the policemen had no telephones no radios whistles, not voices with which to communicate, with one another.
 That town would be easy pickngs for an enterprise ing thief After he had robbed one section he could go ahead at his leisure to rob in each of the other sections with the assurance that the alarm had not been spread and that the policemen there would be looking only to prevent crime in general and not to apprehend him in particular.
 Something analogous to this is what is happening in Alaska at the present time
 Juneau has good police department So has Kechikan. So has Anchorage and Fairbanks. There is a highly effective MarshaIs office in each of the Divisions But these various agencies are not work ing together to protect the Territory against crim- inals.
 The reason they not working together is not that they wish to be independen-al realize that they could be vastly effective if they cooperated but because haven't provided central identification bureau
 There is no interchange of records between the
 
 ina who pulls a job in Anchorage and gets away before he is discovered the who arrested and imprisoned for short term sail to Juneau ride to Fairbanks to try the same trick all over again in place
 This is being done increasingly.
 One of the great needs of the Territory surely is coordnating agency through which to clear finger prints, photographs criminal records and related n formation to assist in tracking down lawbreakers,
 Whether this agency takes the form of Terri toria police office a state patrol department o criminal Identification is immateria Its work should be supervised by expert versed in modern methods of criminal Identification He should have ade quate laboratory for scientific sleuthing and gooo system of files for criminal records.
