Dewey Lashes Out
AT Administration
On National Defense
Can't Wait Until January
To Throw Incompetents
Out Of Office, He Says
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEWARK, N. j., June 14.-Thomas
f. Dewey, candidate for the Re-
publican presidential nomination,
came to Newark last night, met with
New Jerseys Dewey-pledged dele
gates for the first time and sub
seQuently lashed at the adminiStra-
tion on the question of national
defense.
In an interview after the meeting
MIR. Dewey termed the conditions of
national defense "a shocking COM
mentary on the inefficiency and lack
of leadership of the present ad-
ministration."
During closed dinner meeting
Mr.. Dewey discussed party and ma
tional problems for two hours with
the delegates who will cast New
Jerseys 80 votes for candidate
at the Republican National Conven-
ton in Philadelphia.
In his criticism of the administra-
ton Mr.. Dewey commented:
The President spoke of 4,700
planes which were bought for the
Army during his administration, but
he forgot to tell the people that
only 2,700 of these remain and that
of these 1853 are combat planes. That
is one days loss in war today
I'VE have only enough anti-alr-
craft guns to defend one small city
Since 1882 it has been public knowl-
edge that the nations of Europe
were rearming to the teeth and this
administration spent its time waging
war on American industry. 1t still
keeps in office those who wage war
on industry and at the same time
asks a deprecated industry to create
an adequate national defense.
This administration needs a
housekeeping now and a rededica-
ton to the fundamentals of Amer
ican life. We can't wait until jan
uary for the Republican party to
throw out the incompetents and
Communists and put competent
men in public Office"
A spokesman said the delegates
expressed belief alien economic
penetration of South America has
reached a point where the United
States should take steps against it.
Mr.. Dewey announced his next
campaign speech would be made
Monday at Burlington, Vt.

Love Finds A Way

Cincinnati Enquirer


 Long regarded as an invention of the devil in its effect upon young people, the automobile enjoys happy denouement at the hands of the Institute of Family Relations. Dr. Paul Popenoe general director of the institute deduces from study of 1,lS1 courtshps and marriages that the automobile is the proposal place of the nation
 Of the szable number of romances upon which the cold eye of science cast, it found that 25 percent of the proposing occurred in automobiles, as compared with B percent in the home 20 percent in streets parks campuses, restaurants other pulp lie places 13 percent vacation or travelling, 10 percent at parties dinners, and dances percent by letter wire and percent miscellaneous"
 As Dr. Popenoe pointed out modern homes are small or lack privacy whereas the automobile gives the couple chance to be alone in atmosphere more conducive to the admittedly difficult task of proposing It is only natural that this should affect somewhat the form of proposals. The bended-knee stance which accorded well with the spacious for nal parlor of yesteryear rendered gracefully if not physically impossible by the various impedmenta of the automobile. Car designers may have done something in the way of restoring the proposa-on- bended-kne custom when they moved the emergency brake lever and gearshift rod out of the way, but it is at any rate unimportant except perhaps from the estf tic viewpoint. The important thing we suppose IS that love does find a way.

after about 48 hours of thaw is not the same con- rlodity the poets eulogize.
 It isn't white, in the first place, but dirty grey. It about much sparkle as the inside of coal bucket. It doesn't crackle under foot as honest is supposed to do, but spatters up the hosiery wel-clad legs It is stuff not to write odes about
 Really it's too bad. One likes to think of snow as background for skiing, outdoor skating and TO- nance in general and to find it shortly as street slush is to encounter an emotional shock. Some thing ought to be done about it.
 The world in it's temperate zone needs in- destructible snow which will for appointed season live up to expectations snow that will remain white and fluffy resist the inclination to become catch all for a ctys street refuse and be what the poets used to try to make us believe it was. We're for abolshing the speedy thaw and for making winter festival instead of fallacy

SHIFTING MAGNETIC POLES

Admiral Byrd radios to the Navy Department that the south magnetic pole has shifted since 1909 He knew that it would not be in the old place. So did geophysicists.
 It has been known for good many years that the poles of this great magnet of an earth-that is the places where the magnetic meridians meet and the compass needle stands verticaly-are distant l2oO miles or more from the geographic poles and are subject to slow dsplacements.
 The magnetic North Pole is somewhere in Boothia Peninsula Northern Canada; the South Pole in Queen vlcUorla Land where Admiral Byrd is stationed Moreover the two magnetic poles are not diametricay opposite each other; for the line that joins them passes 750 miles away from the center of the earth. AS one magnetic pole shifts so does the other but because few measure ments are available for the south magnetic pole no geophysicist would undertake to deduce more than the approximate position of one pole from that of the. other. ~ ~ sr.a4sA
 Though it has been known for over 300 Years that the earth behaves like great magnet, the source and nature of it's magnetism still major mysteries. It would be a mistake to draw too close a comparison between boys horseshoe magnet and the earth
 There are strange variations in terrestrial mag netism to which piece of iron is subject In France in 1880 the compass pointed north by east; in 1865 true north; during the War of 1872 north northeast; 50 years later true north Is there some connection between these rapid fluctuations and the slower shifting of the magnetic poles?
 We have only to ask questions and to wait for answers in order discover that there is more to be learned about the earth than our geographes show. The geophysicsts who spending their lives studying the mysterious earth also Coum- buses.

Horoscobe The stars inclins
 but do rot compel
SUNDAY, MARCH 3


 Benefic aspects rule today, which should focus many peace efforts and should encourage practical humanitarian projects of various sorts. The stars stimulate construc- tive plans, but initiative should be delayed. The churches are under influences that presage growth of interest in religious observances.
 Heart and Home: The after noon is fortunate for hospitalities and promising for love affairs. Girls should make the best pos sible impression under this con figuration which enables them to reveal the finer traits of charac- ter. Old and young should find enjoyment in association with friends. There may be an uncon- scious desire to make the most of the days opportunity for hap piness.
 Business Affairs: Introduction of amazing new fabrics as well as other inventions made possible by advanced science will bring large profits to merchants and manufac- turers. Spring fashions will con- tribute novelties for which there will be large demands. Retail shops will be even more attractive than formerly and their stocks more al turing. t.,-.
 National Issues: Communism will continue to be a bogey in Wash ington where many liberals will be numerous among employers. Sus- picion will cause injustice and will thwart efforts to make plain the boundary line between Communism in it's relation to the Soviet gov ernment and radical ideas which are independent of treachery to the United States.
 International Affairs: Seer e t knowledge of world-changing plans on the part of foreign dictators may inspirt radical policies in the Federal government. Criticism based on guess work will be severe as certain plans for the Navy arouse anxiety among taxpayers. The stars presage record breaking ex- penditures by the United States government. If the signs are right ly read the Federal government is justified in extreme methods of preparedness.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good luck which may include unexpected gains through the help of new as sociates. Fraud and deception may threaten certain profits.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be dignified, intelligent and kindly Many of these natives of Pisces are inclined to be too frank in their criticisms. Y

MONDAY. MARCH 4

Benefict aspects appear to rule today. It should be a fortunate day for commerce, especially on the Pacific Coast. The planetary government is stimulating and it encourages enterprise. There is san adverse rule for labor. M&
 Heart and Home: Women are under rather a sinister sway, mak- ing for restlessness and sensitive ness. They should avoid indulging fault-finding mood. Family quar- rels are easily started under this planetary direction. Business af- fairs connected with the household should be postponed. It is not an suspicious date for going over the months bills. es Business Affairs: Prosperity will continue to be stimulating to trade, Generous spending may be expect ed, especially for building of homes and public edifices. Notwithstand- ing present opulence, men and wo- men in every walk of life should conserve their financial resources. After 1940 there will be days of reckoning for world waste in war, 1 and the United States will reflect I conditions most threatening to those who read the stars.
 National Issues: Changes in high offices in the Federal government may be surprising, in view of the nearness of the national election. , The stars indicate mutation as the keynote of affairs in all parts of the world. Among political lead CTS there will be many disppoint- ments and reverses Honors and ap- pointments will go to those least worthy from the point of view of faithful party leaders. VI
 International Affairs: Danger of spread of Communism will be more and more apparent as the spring advances. Although many secret supporters among the inteligentsia may have been more or less disil- lusioned, there will be discovered i treacherous pacts that insure aid to Stalin. Mussolini will play a ] hazardous game of diplomacy which should be temporarily successful in gaining respect among his enemies. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of suc- cess through initiative and indus try. New friends are foreseen. Children born on this day prob ably will be extremely energetic and ambitious. They may excel m sports as we'll as in artistic voca- tions.

Far-Flung Line
(New YorK Times)

At about the time the Anzacs land in Egypt after a l0000-mile trip from Australia and the cruisers Ajax and Exeter arrive in England after a trip of 5000 miles from La Plata. They are two footnotes to Rudyard Kplings far-flung battlene. They are a reminder also of how extremely central is the central position of embattled Germany.
 Germanys great effort in the World War was made possible in large by the fact that she fought along interior lines. She could shuttle her armies back and forth and she had no great dis tances to travel any direction. Her resources were right on the spot. So they today. For purposes of mobilization and attack Germany has to think only in hundreds of miles.
 The Allies, in controlling the sea- have all the Seven Seas to watch and traverse. Germany is not merely on interior lines with respect to Europe She is central with respect to battlefront that extends 10000 miles in one direction to Australia and 5000 miles to the South Atlantic. Great BritainS moves, along such an enormous periphery, bound to lack the impressive Blitzkrieg touch.
