The CLOS New President
Philadelphia RecordD

Philadelphia Record)
 Election of Philip Murray president of the Congress of Industrial Organizations is the most constructive step that organization has taken since its foundation.
 He is the one man who can heal the bitter and growing breach within the CIO. The extent of Murrays support be from the fact that his old friend, John L. Lewis nominated him and that the nomination was warmly seconded by Sidney Hillman, president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers and leader of that part of the CIO which has been most critical of Lewis.
 Murray's election does not represent the triumph of faction It does represent the utter routing of those, including the Communists who have sought to divide the CIO by insisting upon policies which the majority of the members don't believe in and won't stand for
 Murray cannot be accused of friendness to Communists His Steel Workers Organizing Com mittee is remarkably free of them On the other hand he has the respect of that part of the CIO which is wary of too close teup with any political party including the New Deal increased emphasis organization and collective bargaining and decreased emphasis on legislation and national politics as the basis for his policy.
 This also is wholesome. We congratulate the CIO upon rising above the factionalism that was destroying it and eecting a who can be counted on to make real contribution to labor peace and progress

BOMB SCARES

Stories of bomb plots and foreign sabotage have made officials of the United States government just a bit jittery, and apparently. G-men now are making nightly examina- ticn of the Halls of Congress. Here are the results of two such bomb scare investigations:
 Bomb Scare No. l: At 10 p. m Saturday night; not creature stir ring in the House Press gallery except the correspondent of a loca paper diligently pounding out ar overnight" story for an early morn ing edition
 Suddenly there was an eerie noise in the rear, as of door being sur reptitiously opened, followed by 2 sofe shuffling. The newsman in vestigated, found strange youth poking around under some desks
 Hey. what are you doing here?' demanded the reporter.
 The mysterious visitor silently flashed an FBI badge, silently con- tinued his searchings.
 Whats up? Bomb?' asked tho reporter, recalling recent story that a stick of dynamite had beer found near the Senate garage. The G-man shot him a cryptic look. anc continued his probing.

Giant Bombers for Britain
(NeW York TimeS)


 It Is wonder that the British rejoicing the transfer of 26 huge bombers from the United States If these giants of air warfare are properly armed and armored, they should give the Royal Air Force the offensive punch which it has lacked until now in striking at distant targets. With full bomb loads they fly than 1,500 miles to target and then return; they climb as high as 34000 feet where antiaircraft guns of existing types can- not touch them The most remote parts of Germany, and even her conquered territories in Eastern and Southeastern Europe, be brought within range of effective bombing when these planes are in active service The effect Brtains fortunes, and on our own, may be great beyond price.
 For this it unnecessary for Gen. era Marshall to have announced their transfer in terms of horse trade" The General tells us that in return for the bombers Great Britain has released engines to equip Al flying fortresses for our own Army. This of course, not the real basis of the transaction. The American people know by that Great Britain is fighting for their security as well as for her own. The transaction is to be justified only the ground that the great est possible help for Great Britain is the soundest possible defense for ourselves.

HOROSCOPE
 It "The stars incline s but do not compe"
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8

Benefic aspects dominate today which is favorable for religious de- velopment. Interest in the spiritual side of human experience will be strong. Churches will gain in membership, especially the Roman Catholic.
 Heart and Home: Young folk may discover that the pursuit of pleasure brings grave results. The stars appear to presage the awak- ening of serious aspirations in the rising genertion ass war prepara'- tionS bring stern realizations. 'Ex- tremes of mood will be evident among young men and young women. Dancing will gain greatly in popularity and there will be increase in the reading and study of books.
 Business Affairs: While this ria- ton continues to enjoy prospefity there will be new record of gen. erosity in giving aid to war vic- tins. The Christmas trade will set new standards of spending and will develop novel attractions. Men who carry heavy responsibilities should find this an suspicious date for making plans. Housekeepers will enjoy extending home hospitali- ties.
 National Issues Growth of preju- dice against persons who are na- tives of countries hostile to the United States should be opposed wisely and consistently. School chill dren should be taught liberal patriotism and absolute loyalty to democratic constitutions. Many subtle methods of influencing young 1 folk will be introduced by fifth columnists who will have teachers in schools and colleges as their agents. 8i International Affairs: Italy is subject to evil portents that threat en much trouble as Mussolinis is to discover that Hitler is a war part ner not to be trusted, since selfish ness rules the Fuehrer. Japan is to learn in 1941 that the United States is power too great to pp- pose even with the aid of Axis partners. Naval maneuvers and en- agreements in the Pacific will be, ,f tremendous import for China. Mars in the horoscope of Japan, elevat- ed over Saturn and Venus, is read as indicating that ambition and impulse will overcome wisdom and diplomatic foresight.
 Persons whose birthdate it ;s have the augury of year of more than average good fortune Court ship and marriage will bring hap piness to the young. i Children born on this day prob ably will be vigorous, progressive and industrious. They should be resourceful, original and able to win success.

On Monday the secretary's office

seeking information when at least Is
persons called at the clubs head

phone calls and auto trips to find places

Many of the people coming in now

Anxious to get here as soon as possible,
he told Hoef1er, he paid a taxi 81 to
