NOW-ANTISEPTIC ICE FOR
 THE FISHERMAN

When they pried the matches off over a cargo of salmon brought to Seattle a few days ago, the air that up out of the hold was as free of fishy odor as the breeze off mountain snowfeld. The vessels catch was packed, not in ordinary ice but in something hitherto unheard of-antseptic ice
 The next day it was determined that with the new germcidal ice packed around and in them, the H. day-old catch of salmon contained only slightly more than one percent of the bacteria count shown by fish kept that length of time in ordinary ice
 Scientists at Seattle Pacific College announced that fish packed in the ice came back from Cape Flattery with 686O0O bacteria per gram as compared with 5660OOOOO per gram found in fish packed that long in ordinary ice.
 The product with which the ice mpreg- mated and which rendered it antiseptic, is chlorine compound perfected by Lawrence Frandsen, chemist who has worked several years the problem of de- veloping an antseptic that would retain it's germi- cidal qualities under freezing.
 The product, in powdered form, is mixed with the water that is to be frozen into ice for preserving the fish catch Not only does it kill the bacteria in the caught fsh-bacteria that ordinarily would be carried into the carcass when it opened for cleaning-but it kills also the bacteria in the water from which the ice formed
 These would survive freezing and revive to contaminate the fish as the ice melted were it not for its germicidal properties.
 Sponsors of the product predicted that 5o0,00O tons of the germcida will be used in the industry on Puget Sound alone next year and that a sizable plant will have be built to replace the small lab oratory in which the product created
 Ii was said the cost of the antiseptic ice will be about 30 percent more than ordinary ice but that it will save over two million pounds of fish annually in the halibut industry alone
 The new product is which may have pro- found effect in the future upon Alaskas most inn portant industry.

One of Freedoms Roads
(NeW York Times)

(New York Tmes)
 Three months ago the British closed the Burma Road, which the Chinese had been able to bring supplies from Rangoon and the outer world. This done in order to give the Japanese time to settle the Chinese incident" by negotiation. The Japanese used the time to drop more bombs on Chm ese cities bully the helpless Indo China Government into admitting their troops to that country and, finally, to conclude closer military agreement with Britain's enemies, Germany and Italy. So recently the Burma Road was opened again and trucks moved over it. The Japanese will try to smash it from the air but the Chinese believe they can keep it open for perhaps as much 500 tons of freight day. gasoline, airplanes, ammunition, raw materials and medical supplies
 Meanwhile the news of the Japanese campaign in China, now well along in it's fourth year shows how limited the offensive strength of Japan really is The Chinese have just been bombardlng the Ichang airfield the Yangtze River, which cer- tanly shows contempt for any Japanese striking power in that area well below Chungkng, They claim to have cut the Japanese line of communica- tions on the river below Hankow. Finally the cen sored Shanghai cables reveal that there are still about 300000 Chinese troops in the Shanghai Hangchow Nanking triangle, at the very focal point of the Japanese effort in China. Some of these troops said to be within two hours drive of Shanghai.
 In other words Japan hasn't been able to clear up the very front yard of her Chinese war. Her penetration is deep but narrow The pressure she has been able to exert has probably created China stronger eff supplies get in from the outside world than the China of four years ago. Those who still wish to appease Japan by continuing to pro- vide her with the sinews of war might consider these facts And they might consider the nature of dictatorship in general. few sprawling victories, willingness to shed the blood of the innocent and helpless do not constitute new order" Day by day the Relationships raise up more new enemies than those they kill defeat They cannot close all roads to freedom The Burma Road is not the only one that mocks their ipsolence.

STRATEGIC GREECE

Greece which was to have been the next way sta- ton of the Axis powers their march to the Near East has proved in the first few days of the Ital- ian invasion to be very rough detour indeed. Be- fore moving eastward the Axis intends to get all of the Balkans under it's control It cannot for ward without being of all the strategic positions in it's rear Hence the heat which is now being turned on Premier John Metaxas' country.
 The Greek Army, consisting of only 120,000 men at war strength, could do very little by itself How ever Greece is favored by her terrain and is putting up a better resistance than the size of her armed forces would indicate. From Albania in the west the Italians are being effectively resisted through the mountain passes. Should Bulgaria, however start action from the north with German help Greek resistance could not long hold out
 Turkey. despite the mutual assistance pact of 1936 is not likely to send any large body of troops into Greece Such step would strip her defenses in Asia Minor and lay the country open to a German advance across the Black Sea through Bulgaria
 Greece has chance. That is the support which the British Navy may give. Britain has come to the rescue that ancient land Its rugged coast line and numerous islands offer excellent defense positions for a fleet. There stand can be made against the dangerous eastward march of the Axis Realizing the importance of the Mosul oil fields and Syria in the Allied setup it is well to keep eye on Greece It holds the key to the future of the war in the Near East

complaints against the lax enforce ment of the wage-hour act and failure to deny defense contracts to companies violating the National Labor Relations Act.
 A lot of CIO chieftains who lean more to the right than Lewis, do not agree with their bushy- -browed boss about Roosevelt. But they are discouraged at what they con- tend to be a complete breakdown of the wage-hour act in many in- dustries, plus the Defense Con- missions trampling upon the Ma tional Labor Relations Act.
 Real fact is that charming Col cnel Philip B. Fleming has not even taken the trouble to hire the inspectors voted him by Congress, and turned back to the Treasury last year S2o0,000 of uneXpended funds which were to have been used to enforce the wage-hour laws.
 Today. Fleming's labor critics charge that in order to cover up failure to enforce the act, he is try ing to make paper showing of eff ficiency b. ordering each inspector to close three cases a day if he wants to keep his job. No inspector can work that fast and do anything more than perfunctory white wash ing, labor leaders assert.
 They also charge that the be- nign Colonel Fleming has exempted tens of thousands of employees in genuine wholesale establishments (on the ground that they were re- tailers), and has deprived vast num- bers of agricultural processir>, work CTS, such as canners and fruit pack CTS, of wage-hour benefits.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not cOmpe~
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER

After the early morning hours benefic aspects rule strongly to- day. The rule of the stars is pro- pitious for naval movements, es- pecially those that have high pur- pose in the way of rescue or re- lief.
 Heart and Home: Women are under the best planetary influences today. It is fortunate for letters or contracts, for the signing of legal papers of any sort. The heart will be subject to apprehensions, but there will be much romance for the young as well as happiness for older persons. In the family, sep- arations and changes will cause mothers to borrow trouble This is a promising date for progress in school or college, although stu dent bodies will shrink in num- bers.
 Business Affairs: Newspaper and magazine publishers will profit as business in the United States con- tinues to prosper. Great increase in trade is forecast for dealers in leather and woolen goods Machin- cry and tools assume increasing importance. Factories will continue to run at top speed Employment will extend to many well-trained men and women who had retired from work. Women should seek high technical efficiency
 National Issues: Food distribu- tion to starving persons will con- tinue to be one of the most dis cussed problems in this country, but the stars presage success in aiding victims of the European war. An experienced statesman will prove his wise leadership. This is a configuration under which to develop plans for the future, which bodes ill for nation unprepared in modern modes of conflict. The stars presage long period of Army, Navy and Aviation service under the Stars and Stripes
 International Affairs: Intensifi- cation of fifth column activities is foretold as agents engaged in South America exercise undercover influence among voters. AS closer relations between this country and Great Britain prove helpful, the stars are read as indicating mar vicious powers of recovery for the Empire which is to be immensely changed in it's rebuilding. Warn ing is given that subversive inter- ests will SOW discord and suspicion
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of pros perity with aid from family ane friends in ambitious aims. A ten dency toward extravaganza should be checked.
 Children born on this day vii be clever and intuitive, but they may be inclined to take life hap. oily without feeling the need o hard work.

NIERRY-GO-ROUND

There is no truth to the rumor that Secretary of War Stimson plans to resign after election. MT. Stimson regards the arming of this country the crowning work of his long career as a public servant and he intends to stick to the job If Jim Farley had followed Emil Hurja's figures regarding the out come of the 1886 election he would have been way off base. Privately Hurja expected Roosevelt to get no more than 360 electoral votes. He got 523. Farley made his own es- inmates as result of phone calls to each state leader. He and Hurja cooled toward each other shortly after the 1886 campaign and Hurja has been for Garner, now Willkie.

DRAFT EVADERS

The Army is depending upon a novel type of enforcement agency to catch the draft dodgers. Most members of this unofficial agency are women.
 Instead of sending sleuths around town to root out young men who have evaded registration, the Army is counting on the mothers of con- scripts to see that other mothers sons do their patriotic duty.
 If any man of conscript age has failed to register, the Department expects his neighbors to tell the lccal draft board Mrs. Jones may be proud that her son is serving the country, but she is going to make sure that Mrs. Smiths son does the same.
 Actually, there has been more, rather than less, registration than expected The crop of registrants exceeded expectations by at least 0,000.
 One reason, officials believe, is that many men below 21 or above B registered, falsifying their ages; they wanted to serve the country, or they wanted job.
 Other reason is that the registra- ton caught from five to seven mil lion migrants not covered by the census. Every known hobo jungle in the country had been circularized in advance, and all the transients turned out to sign up with Uncle Sam.

MANY PRESCRIPTIONS

In enc case, they assert, former -breaker, Walter LeMat, was hired by Fleming and given a job of devising procedures to investi- gate complaints. This caused Will liasn A. F. Stephenson, Executive Assistant to the Administrator, to resign in protest.
 With him have gone long list of executives who, either disgusted with the laxity of enforcement or genu- finely interested in building wage hour standards, have resigned. They
