The season saw the supposedly
invincible New York Yankees fall
apart like the one boss shay at
the seasons start. They were so
highly rated that the American
league passed rule prohibiting
its pennant winner from obtaining
athletes within the league except
on waivers.
The Yankees pulled them
selves together toward the flag
end. and with the aid of superls-
tive pitching by big Ernie Bon
ham, brought In from Kansas

No one figured that what ap-

But there was no holding that

JAPANESE AMBASSADOR

Admiral Namura who is expected to be the new Japanese Ambassador to the United States, served for many years as naval attache in Washington, where he became a genuine friend of U. s. naval off cers. He was realistic, hard-boiled, but genuine friend Also he had a fortnight sense of hhmor.
 One illustration he gave of U.S.- Jaanese relations is important to remember now. It shows what the Japanese think of us-perhaps with some justice.
 You in the United States" said Admiral Narmura, 'h ave been brought up on beauty rest mattress es. You have gramaphones, radio. automobiles. plenty of good food. You don't want to fight.
 But in Japan, we have no beauty rest mattresses. To our peasants, a plain board is luxury to sleep on; while flood in the barracks usually is better than that which d soldier gets at home. So our people are tough. your people are soft. That's why you won't fight"

Now for the Real Fight
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

The war to save American democracy is being waged on two fronts-the home front and the for eign front But the two engagements are inextrica- bly dependent on each other that defeat on one front is certain to bring disaster on both.
 Democracy significant battle at home on Tuesday More than 5O0OO0OO citizens, the largest number in all history. went to the polls and not only chose leader for the next four years but-what is more important-demonstrat that the average American has a vigorous interest in his government
 Yet if this victory is to stand it must be followed up with another the attainment of national unity in the task of rearming the nation against the danger of physical attack from abroad
 For on the foreign front the war has yet to turn in favor.
 True there are bright spots here and there. A heroic little Greek Army still holds off the Fascist military machine. Hitler has not so far been able to set foot on England, and British planes wreak ing destruction in Nazi industrial centers. Rightly or wrongly, the remaining democracies abroad have been given lift in morale by our election returns.
 But Nazi planes still force the populations of English cities to live underground as the damp, cold winter approaches Nazi soldiers may be expected soon to turn the tide in Greece. And fortnight Winston Churchill admits that German submarines are making fearful inroads against the merchant marine which is BritainS life line.
 Moreover and important than all else, Americas physical defenses and her ability to give effective aid to England remain dangerously made quate There still may be time to build these de- lenses and send this aid, but it is growing short
 So our task is clear. Holding our gains on the home front we must work feverishly to bolster our outer defenses. It is in favor that there is no longer an election campaign to detract from doing what we must do if American democracy is to sur vve

MORE G-MEN

Along with the speed-up in pro duction of airplanes and tanks, there is a much leSs-heralded speed-up in the production of G-men.
 J. Edgar Hoover is now turning out special agents of the FBI at the phenomenal rate of 40 week. The training course has been cut down from Is weeks to weeks, but the work is more intensive And &C., cording to Hoover, mass production brings no decrease in quality.
 Formerly, the Federal Bureau of Investigation Ina donly 900 special agents, but a recent Congressional authorization boosted the figure to 1900. Hoover now has almost at- tained that mark, with 1,340 trained and 160 more to be produced
 One man who graduates from the FBI school represents 1000 who have tried for admission and failed. Any body who has read Sherlock Holmes, ' says Hoover, thinks he can be a special agent. We get all kinds. Even psychics, and people who think they can solve. crimes by looking at the stars"

THE HELPING HAND

Millions of innocent victims of Htlers are in acute distress throughout Europe Most of them are beyond our help. They need food medicine, clothing, shelter and care These they will receive from their German masters in starvation rations if at all There are other millions where can help them.
 To deal with their dire circumstance is a huge job. for which leading relief agency, the Red Cross, is asking funds We may as well face the fact that money is not coming in it should. The American public is hotly indignant at what Hitler has done and is doing and plans to do, but the cold truth is that it's pocketbook has not yet been touched.
 This is shame, and one which we think will be remeded when both the need and the oppor- tunity fully realized Our lot lies with the peo- pie of the democracies The most pacifistic of us, the most convinced isolatonists can consistently help them in their battle by giving food medicine, shelter and encouragement to their women chl- dren, old and sick. American men and women already riskng their lives to do this
 Shall we hold back gifts2 Shall we shrink from the task because it is stupendous one? They will not believe hearts are with them if with the sympathetic heart there does not go now with out delay, the generous helping hand
 Of course most of the Red Cross money stays in America for American relief needs Most of that collected here will stay right in Juneau to meet local problems
 Juneaus quota in the Red Cross roll call has not yet been attained
 Ordinarily, charity properly begins at home But 1t would be selfish the point of Ilhulnanty to deny some of to the war refugees of Europe, the terribleness Of whose plight beggars description.

 Benefic aspects strongly domin- ate today. It is most fortunate for both capital and labor, encourag- 1 ing to cooperation. This is prom ising date for signing contracts, leases and other legal papers.
 Heart and Home: This is not a fortunate rule of the stars for women. They will be happiest in social contacts, but their hospitali- ties should be informal Girls will enjoy athletic sports more than average flirtations. This rule of the stars inclines young men to be egotistical and conscious of thelr value as possible suitors Women of all ages should practice household arts.
 Business Affairs: Distractions in certain lines of trade, and slow ing down in manufacturing speed, may be evident under this sway which is most promising for ulti- mate success in mass production Magic in American methods in business and manufacturing is to be demonstrated Advertising is to expand under this configuration and Christmas buying should be generous. Santa Claus is to travel from the United States to many foreign children and will make wholesale purchases.
 National Issues: Propaganda from hostile sources will seek to estrange the United States and Canada, but there is to be a closer relationship between British and American citizens. Distinguished English visitors will be entertained in Washington and New York City. The nation also will be host to royalty from countries subjugated by Hitler. The national capital will be the scene of an historic event of supreme moment before the new year daWns. .e IlltCl hl1ollo SilollBCo MI the constitution of Brazil are fore cast South American countries are to come into firm relationship with the United States, despite the work of European dictators.
