Horoscobe The stars incline
 but do not compel"
SATURDAY. DECEMBER 3

SATURDAY, DECEMbENt
 Adverse aspects appear to rule to- day. Women should be cautious in whatever they undertake. There may be impulsive judgment, whichs leads to serious misunderstanding; and even uuarrelS. Labor comes under a promising direction of the stars.
 Heart and Home: This is bot a | favorable day for domestic harmony Financial disagreements are indi- cated. The evening is fortunate fo1 making new acquaintances of the opposite sex, but not for love affairs Good news from absent members of the family is probable.
 Business Affairs: Good luck trav- els with American freighters Noday Holiday trade will be especia1ly prof itable for jewellers. Danger of toe great expansion in anticipation of a war boom is forecast. Wise mer- chants will conserve their capital Banks will transact their business with caution, but large loans are i prognosticated. Industry will re- employ great numbers of trained hands.
 National Issues: Bitter conflict will mark political organizations President Roosevelt will gain popu- lar approval for his foreign policy Disclosure of subversive activities in 1 the United States will create sen sation. The ties between the United States and Canada will be strength ened. The sudden death of bellig- erent statesman is foretold. Women are to obtain employment in impor- tant positions, and many will receive 1 high salaries in the coming year, as military training removes young men from the field of business.
 International Affairs: Secre forces will continue to operate in the European war, Unfavorable weather will bring suffering and illness to the soldiers. United States will be the target oi hostile elIorVS toward involvement in what may de- velop into a world conflict. Suspicion that censorship iS cloaking the facts concerning international affairs will cause widespread newspaper com ment.
 Persons whose birthday it is have the augury of year of progress but for many the returns may appear inadequate for work done. Children born on this day may be emotional and cratic. Both boys and girls may be inclined toward sentimental affairs. Magnetism and the ability to make friends are out standing traits.

KEEPS INFORMATION TO HERSELF

To begin with, Russia has adopt ed a policy of letting outside gotafn- ments know just as little as possible of what is going on in the huge expanse of territory with it's 160,- 100000 or more people. She has mini mixed the importance of foreign missions in Moscow, hamsTung their activities and kept themsas de- pendent as she could upon the So- viet's own pipe lines of information. This government has been no worse treated than any other, perhaps a shade better than some.
 The U. s. embassy, along with other foreign embassies, is strictly limited as to the space it may oc- cupy in Moscow. It can't "shop around" for additional or different quarters. It takes what the govern ment allows. In Washington an embassy can rent or buy what and where it pleases.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1939-12-01
LIMITED LIVING QUARTERS

The U. s. embassy is chartered in fairly good seven-story building where all but one or two of the 31 employees of the embassy not only work, but live. The building is only two rooms deep, front to back, and contains 81 rooms. Four upper floors are living quarters. Three lower floors are offices. The Ambassador has residence elsewhere in the city. It is considered the best of any ] Ambassador in Moscow.
 So crowded are living quarters for the staff that few but bachelors are assigned to the U. s. embassy. Married couples are transferred if babies come.
 Permission must be obtained for long distance telephone calls. Dip- lomats get permission readily ex- cept in such instances as the Flint. where delays seemed endless. Stein- hardt finally got calls through to Murmansk but could not talk to the Flint's captain.
 Sometimes a call from Moscow to Paris can be put through in 20 minutes. Secretary Hull once said it might take most of a day to get through to Moscow from Wash ington. Non-official callers must tell the subject of calls before they are put through, Soviet police listen in on such large percentage of telephone calls that nobody with good sense transmits other than routine messages that way
 Lack of facilities is considered to be at least half to blame tor de- lays. Red tape in handling calls explains much of the rest i| CONSULATES CLOSED

Berlin dispatch to the New York Times
 ''The Strength Through Joy organization has included Russian in the list of languages it is offer ing to workers. In six weeks, Strength Through Joy guarantees to give it's clients sufficient knowledge for written or oral understanding of the language of Germanys ally"
 Now, if Russians will turn about with courses in German-the workers of both countries can read, in the original what nasty things their Governments were saying about each other-was it yesterday?

governments were ordered to close consular posts in all Russian cities except Moscow Russia continues to operate hers in the U. S. and in other countries, but wants no leaks of information out of her own in- terior cities. Japan, China and Fur key alone were allowed to keep cer- tain consular posts.
 Diplomats here say that few So- viet officials will give out informa- tion. One diplomat observed that it was 'cruer to consult those who would talk, for if their statements differed with those officially given out they would face frightful pun ishment.
 It tries the soul of foreign serv- ice employees to work under such conditions, but it is the Russian way.

Faster even than that of Shirley Temple, who at 10 is ready to retire and devote herself to her hobbies. His Derby victory brought him $46,350, which is making money at about $23,OO0 a minute.

BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

was strictly 8 sprinter, a quitter when the going got tough, and his gait would always do the same They'll never say that again. Johns- town is a sprinter, yes. He has as hot pair of heels as you ever laid eyes on, but they don't cool off at the end of sprint, or a mile, or even a mile and a quarter. From the looks of him when he finished the Derby, eight lengths out in front and winging, they might not cool off even on a run from Baton Rouge to Boston.
 Greatest Of All Time
 When they shipped Johnstown out of here yesterday, and headed him for Maryland and the preakness, they may very well have shipped the greatest three-year-old colt of all time. Right now no one knows just what his capabilities are, because nothing on four legs has been able to make him extend himself. He won the Derby cantering, half pulled up. The whip never even so much as flicked his Hanks, and during most of the journey his opposition was a long distance phone call behind.
 As saw it, jockey Jimmy Stout let him all out just once. That was when he had scarcely an eighth of a mile to go, and given his head he increased his lead from five lengths to eighth lengths in scarcely more time than 1t takes to snap your finger.
 There is good chance that Johnstown never will have an op- portunity to prove what a really great three-year-old he is. There doesn't seem to be colt of his own age capable of driving him to his limit. He may have to wait until next year, when he moves into the handicap division and meets older horses to show his class.
 Johnstown appears to be mortal cinch in the preakness. Speaking of the preakness, Johnstown probably will run as an entry with gilded Knight, the second best colt in the field, The entry probably will go to the post at the ridiculously short odds of l to 50, but nevertheless it is whale of a good bet. The Mary land law says that the tracks must always pay off at least five cents on dollar so why not put all you can beg, borrow, or steal on Johnstown and Gilded Knight to show? It looks like such sure thing that I am taking a house and lot with me to Baltimore and plan to shove it right through the mutuel window, front porch, back yard, attic and all.
