Benefic aspects rule today which
is suspicious for business. While
it is not lucky for signing con-
tracts it is favorable for pushing
whatever is well started. Engin-
GERS, contractors and manufacture
ers are under fortunate planetary
influences.
Heart and Home: Mental pro-
cesSes should be keen under this
sway. 1t is a good date for making
important els ons, especially
where domestic interests are in
volved The household should be

ing in small communities is rec
commended. Many perils will multi
ply in cities, especially those on
the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts.
Business Affairs: Tendency TO
hoard money may be evident
the wise will buy whatever is. nee
essary while merchants offer large
stocks containing many importa-
lions difficult to obtain in the fu-
ture. Purchases of jewels will be
more general than usual, due 70
the anxiety to put wealth in an
easily. portable form.
National Issues: Subversiye in
fluences will seek to cause preju-
dices against certain foreigners
and increased class consciousness.
The American habit of hasty
speech should be curbed. Silence
will be golden in many instances.
Spies will appear in guises seldom
recognized Employers should be
watchful as the number, of en-
ployees increases while caution
should be exercised the habit OF
suspicion should be avoided
International Affairs European
events will be fortunate in their
effect upon all the Americas where
there will be better understanding
and loyal cooperation. Internalrun-
rest in certain South American
countries will manifest in sporadic
outbreaks, but there will be re-
sentful recognition of the economic
effects of the Nazi rule wherever
Hitler gains power.
Persons whose birthdate it is

tel. Occupant of that suite was
none other than General Rafael
Trujillo, dictator of the Dominican
Republic
The Marshal wanted the Cen
eral for certain bills that remained
unpaid in New York, totaling $4,-
212. But the Marshal failed to get
his man. The General claimed dip
lomatic immunity from the laws
of the United States.
-Four New York firms got, tired
of waiting for the Dominican to
settle his account One firm was
Louis Sherry, restaurateur, who set
the table with food and drink for
the Dominican reception at the
Worlds Fair last year. Another
was International Art Gallery,
which sold the Dominicans an old
bust of Columbus, who landed in
the Dominican Republic in 1892.
Two other creditors are Cartier,
New York jewelers., and the An
min Flag Company, which prepared
Dominican flags. ,a
When Trujillo came to New YORK
last week, the creditors thought
they had their man. But he moved
on to Washington. They hired a
lawyer, and he sent the U. S..
Marshal to the Shoreham
The hitch came over the fact
that the dictator is now an Am
bassador' He came to this couu-
try partly for medical treatment
and financial agreement between
U. S. and the Dominican Republic,
partly to sign a new commercial
and he is cloaked with the tenn
porary title of Ambassador.
Thus the creditors are frustrat-
ed. They can't even touch the
Generals yacht "Ramfis," docked
at the Washington Navy Yard.
NOTE-Trujillo sreputation in this
country has risen recently because
of his statesmanlike act of welcom-
ing European refugees to the Dom
inican Republic, but in spite of
craftsmanship, the creditors want
their money.

NEW FRENCH AMBASSADOR

Henri Haye, newly appointed
French Ambassador to the United
States, long has served as the
Mayor of Versailles and therefore
was in the thick of the German
occupation of France.
One story which American diplo-
mats tell about him is that when
regiment after regiment marched
through Versailles, the Commander
of each sent for the Mayor with
instructions to come to heaquarters
and pay his respects. Each time,
however, Ambassador Haye refused,
said that he was the Mayor and
that the visiting German could
come to see him.
Finally, one irate German COM
mander arrested him and brought
him to headquarters, where he de-
manded an explanation.

piled the Mayor of Versailles, but

ington will seek fund of 1000 900
during its 18th annual campaign,
beginning November 13 and run
ming through November 26.
The goal, same as that set last
year, was approved by the Cam
paign Committee at its first fall
meeting yesterday in Chest head
quarters, 1101 M street NV, after
it had been announced as the figure
recommended by the Executive
Committee.
The suggestion that an extra fund
be sought to cover care of refugee
children was tabled by the Executive
Committee after consideration, Her
bert l.. Willett. executive director
OF the Chest, said. He explained
removal to the United States Of
large numbers of children in the
near future appeared improbable,
thereby making inadvisable solicita-
ton of specified amount.
Slogan Adopted.
"Once Year They Look to You"
is to be the campaign slogan, Bruce
R. Allen, public relations chairman,
told the meeting. He urged that
early consideration be given the
most effective method of signaling
commencement of the drive and a
special committee was appointed to
consult with his group on this prob
lem. Mr. Allen also reported COM
pletion of motion picture in color
designed to depict the scope Of

dragging for his body today.
Rescued was his companion,
Charles Robbins, 81, of 1888 Ridge
place Sc, who kept afloat until
he was reached by the crew of the
tug T. G. Herbert, which was haul
ing the six scows downriver.
Police said the 18-foot motorboat,
bound for Washington from Alex
andria, apparently tried to cut be-
tween the tug and the leading scow.
An official of the Smoot Sand and
Gravel Co., declared the launch was
turned around by impact of towing
hawser, then shattered and sunk
by the scow.
Mr.. Grady. bricklayer, who lived
at 500 H street NE, had been Ill

Each of the four photographers
will receive $25, and their pictures
will vie with other winners through

The prints will be placed on dis
play in the National Geographic So

in the national competition is 81 500
Afterward the gallery of the finest
amateur snapshots of the year will
be open to the public.
Some Of the best pictures in The
Star contest came in during the last
week. AS a result, the competition
was so severe among them that
many good snapshots among the
late corners lost out, and failed to
place even in the final page OF
weekly winners. If some of these
pictures had been entered earlier In
the contest they would have stood q
much better chance Of winning.
Confusion alSo WAS caused by
many requests from photographers
for return of their pictures. Inas-
much as more than 5000 pictures
were submitted, the task OF return

Schultz Will Urge
F.T.C. Milk Probe
In House Speech
Denial by Gross Of
Charges Prompts
Plans for Address

Determined to have a Showdown y
on the Washington milk marketing
situation, Representative Schultz,
Democrat. Of Indiana said today he
would address the House again at the
earliest opportunity, urging an in
vestigation by the Federal Trade
Commission.
Mr.. Schulte's announcement was
prompted by a speech yesterday by
Representative Gross, Republican, of
Pennsylvania, himself a dairy farmer,
who denied charges by Mr.. Schultz
a week ago that the Washington
milk consumers had been sold down
the river" Mr.. Gross told the House
the Capital has a stable. superior
silk supply and warned that these
benefits would be endangered If the
market is thrown open to surpluses
from other producing areas.
Mr.. Gross conceded the retail
price of milk in Washington Is too
high" but pointed out that chain
stores are selling milk at II cents a
quart and that relief milk is available
to the needy at 5 cents.
In defense Of producers Cooper
atives, Mr.. Gross said that approxi-
mately 20 years ago the University
of Maryland organized the pro-
ducers in Baltimore and Washing
ton areas because of unfair trade
practices, infant mortality, epidem-
les and a general demand for bet
ter quality of milk and a stable
supply. He said this was one of the
greatest services ever given by the
university and will stand to its
everlasting credit" He quoted fig
ures from the District Health De-
partment to show that since the
standard of milk has been raised
in the District the infant mortality
rate has been cut in half.
Mr.. Gross described as false re-
peated charges that milk producers
in his district are eager to break
into the Washington market. He
said only two Pennsylvania farmers
are shipping milk to Washington,
and added: THE sanitary regula-
tions for the Washington market
are of such a nature that most of
the farmers in my district would
have to build new barns were they
to ship here. The markets they
now enjoy are not so bad that they
would be justified in making this
additional expenditure"
His only interest in maintaining
the Washington area cooperative,
he explained, lis because I know
that unless we maintain the pro-
ducers' organization in the WASH
ington milk shed we cannot main
tain the producers organizations in
other milk sheds.
Regarding allegations of boot
Logging" milk here, Mr.. Gross said
the problems are no different from
those in every city in the country,
and that the same tactics have been
used one time or another wherever
milk has been sold.
