Hampshire, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont. Wisconsin-total Il States with 69 electoral votes.
 Doubtful, leaning toward Willkie Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minne- sota, Ohio-total five States with 99 electoral votes.
 On the basis of this State forecast Roosevelt would need only a com bination of New Works AT votes plus Connecticut's eight and Wyoming's three. Or with Pennsylvania S 36 plus New Jerseys Is and Washing tons eight the President would have enough to put him across, or it would be enough for him to carry the two big Staes of New York and Penn sylvania. or New York and Massa chusetts
 Willkie, on the other hand, would have to carry all of his doubtfuls plus 98 of the electoral votes listed as leaning toward Roosevelt This is very possible if the large blocs of undecided voters in each of the cer- tain closely divided States flock to his banner.
 If in these States the balance of power of voters swings to Willkie he will make election history, but he has got to get most of them to turn the trick.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6

Adverse planetary aspects domin- ate today. The morning hours should be helpful to women, but there will be a tendency toward weariness and lack of initiative. Men will find this fine date for making plans and good resolutions. Heart and Home This is a for tunate day for women who should begin what is important for the future. It is an suspicious day for taking care of whatever has been neglected and good for informal social affairs. For girls there is promise of romance Nasty love af- fairs are indicated, but they should be avoided. Again the lure of a uniform will be felt, especially among college girls. There is a happy sign for weddings It is a date presaging real partnership
 Business Affairs: Continued ac- tivity in business is prognosticated Many enterprises will be greatly stimulated. American inventors and chemists will contribute much to national defense. Manufacturers of shoes and woolen goods will profit Wise persons will finish shopping for winter attire as early as pos sible, for prices will soar It is safe to count upon a brisk Christmas trade in which the usual spending may be expected.
 National Issues: Food problems will multiply as reports of need in Europe become more tragic. From abundance the United States will find ways of contributing to the starving, it is forecast The seers stress the importance of overcom- ing all prejudices in the realization of lniveral brotherhood. Danger is forecast that agents who foment race and class consciousness will gain influence.
 International Affairs: Govern ment control of wealth will be eng forced in France and other coun- tries under the Nazi sway. As most wealth has been confiscated there will be slow secretion of fu- ture fortunes Danger to the Unit ed States is prophesied, because of the nations riches and prosperity. A plot is prognosticated to under mine again our whole financial and economic system. A period of in tense caution is counseled by as trologers.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of suc- cess and happiness. Caution in regard to legal papers is enjoined.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be determined and ad- venturous. They are potentially able to attain success, even though they may be inclined to take big risks.

TT LOOKS AS IF-

Four years ago the Washington Merry Round column drew ire and derision when it predicted before the presidential that President Roose candidate had ever come so close to making clean sweep The Merry Go- Round authors were either partisan foolish. They were committing journal stic suicide with so preposterous prediction Be- sides didn't the Literary Digest poll show that whats-his- s-name Landon had the election safely in the bag? On election day Roosevelt swept 46 States.
 In their column in The Empire today, authors Drew Pearson and Robert Allen make such posi- tive assertion as they did in 1886. They say "it looks if Roosevelt will be elected for a third term" Then they tally up the electoral votes to tell why
 The Merry Go-Round record throughout the 194O campaign has been an admirable one, Scoop fol- lowed scoop so that readers of the column have re- mained from few days to few months ahead of the news at all times.
 AS far away as Alaska, readers able the morning after CIO Chieftain John L Lewis made his surprise endorsement of Wkie to read in the Merry Go-Round written in Washington several days be- fore the terms of the deal Willke made with Lewis, The Republicans. Pearson and Allen said, had pro- missed Lewis he could name the Secretary of Labor in the Willke cabinet and promised that they would more strngenty enforce National Labor Relations Board orders in plants handling national defense orders.
 On October Pearson and Allen reported that secret" polls taken in certain States showed "Wikie holding better than his own and that Roosevets advisers urgng him ito climb off his nopolitics pedestal and do some vigorous campaigning" This column subjected to considerable criticism by Democratic editors because the day.

PROFESSOR MoLEY,s HAM

When Raymond Moley, erstwhile New Dealer, appeared for Willkie in Richmond, Va, the crowning touch of the meeting was a ham act
 To indicate that the farmers were turning from Roosevelt, managers of the meeting arranged to have a Virginia farmer step up to the plat form and present Moley with token of rural regard But there was a litter in the crowd when the token proved to be ham.
 Moley looked little sheepish when he took the Virginia ham into his arms The farmer had described it as "the emblem of our party"
 The litter was even stronger. how ever, when Moley, in his address to the .Democrats for Willkie, at

LABOR PEACE

Defense Commissioner Sidney Hill man soon will announce two sur prise appointments to his labor ad- visory board.
 They will be John P. Frey, head of the AFL metal trades depart ment, and John Green, President of the CLOS shipbuilding workers un- ion The two will be Hillman's spec ial assistants in the shipbuilding field.
 To many people these appoint ments may seem a routine matter. But to labor circles they are an- other coup of Hillman's in bringing warning AFL and CIO leaders to- gether.
 Frey and Green have long been on opposite sides of the fence. Frey long has been one of the most die hard opponents of the CIO in upper AFL ranks, having helped bounce Hillman and John L. Lewis from the AFL. Only month ago he vigor ously assailed Hillman at a private meeting of the AFL executive coun- cil
 NOTE: To date, Hillman and his labor advisory board have settled peaceably l57 threatened strikes, work stoppages and lockouts affect ing 675,000 workers. An average of 1000 letters a week are received from rank-and- union members commenting these activities.

Alaskan Development
Seattle Post -Intelligencer)


 Proposals for large scale colonization projects in Alaska, especially those based upon wholesale trans fers of refugee populations, have evoked vigorous opposition in the Territory
 At the same time it is evident that Alaska will miss much of the permanent growth which should be expected to flow from the current defense pro- gram unless the Territory achieves well rounded development in which agriculture plays part.
 Vilhjamur Stefansson knows his north And his proposal to the Alaska Committee of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce for highly selective coloni- zation program, certainly merits serious study It is MT Stefanssons belief that the selection should be made among Americans in the higher rather than in the lower economic levels. Obviously, some acquaintance with climatic conditions similar to those prevailing in the Territory and comparative youth also desirable
 It will be argued that American farmer who is moderately well off would hardly be tempted to try his luck in strange territory. Such argu- ment overooks the fact that ambition still burns brightly in youth-and that the Midwest no longer take care of all the families brought up to agriculture Admittedly the project of recruiting the best type of farm population will be difficult but it should not be impossible

The signal flags used by ma
val vessels are the result of
developments over several hun
dred years. The shapes, designs,
and cOlors are restricted to
those easily distinguishable.
At first the national flags of
the ships were used, and later
the flags of foreign countries.
This use of foreign flags, par
ticularly in emergency codes,
was adopted by the British navy,
and was in vogue in the British
fleet and the American navy
during the American revolution
At first the codes were very
simple and contained only a few
easily remembered signals. The
red flag, as a signal for battle,
was not of English origin, but
was one of the unwritten Gus
