How much of it has been de- voted to pure politics of late. ] wouldn't venture guess, but would venture a four bit piece that half of it in recent months has been more political than any, thing else and this at time when the country is rolling over rocky road, and far the greater percent of Congress is trying its level best to clear the road ahead.

EXIT FANNY

Miss Frances Perkins, idealistic but sometimes inept Secretary of Labor, will not be in the third Roo- sevelt Cabinet.
 She will be replaced as part of the Presidentt'S plan to put an end to AFL-CIO warning and to bring about unification of the two organ nations. No on the Presidents s list for Miss Perkins successor is George Harrison, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks and a vigorous advocate of labor peace
 With Dan Tobin, head of the AFT teamsters and former White House Secretary, Harrison was ac- tive in the 1889 negotiations to bring the two camps together.
 Miss Perkins is on moderately good terms with both the AFL and CIO and actually her Department is one of the best run in the Government But neither laborites nor industry give her any credit for this, and she also has failing for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.
 Inside fact is that Miss Perkins offered her resignation last spring but Roosevelt declined it to avoic a scramble for the job with a cam paign approaching.
 Now the way is clear to use hel replacement to further labor peace which he is determined to effec as part of the National Defense pro gram. John L. Lewis, No. obsta cle to this. already has eliminated himself when he bolted the GIG and pumped for Willkie.
 Other Labor Department change contemplated are the promotion O Dan Tracy, former AFL vice presi dent, from Second to First Assist ant Secretary, and appointment O Van Bittner. head of the Wes Virginia United Mine Worker twhom Lewis gied to pressure int supporting Willkiel. to Tracys pest

PURGED BURGER

John J. O'Connor, the anti-New Deal New York Congressman who was the sole victim of the famous 1888 purge" got his revenge this election.
 Despite the Roosevelt sweep in New York, Representative James H. Fay, who eliminated O'Connor in 1888 and became White House fa- vorite, was noSed out by his Re- publican opponent-and it was John O'Connors quiet work that did the trick.
 Fay was tie only Democrat de- feated in his district. The entire ticket, from President on down to State Assemblymen, piled up heavy pluralities. Yet strong New Dealer Fay lost by 2,50O votes to ardent Willkie-ite William T. Pheiffer, who is unknown to most of the voters of his own neighborhood. A Tex an, Pheiffer has lived in New York less than two years.
 | Reason for his close victory was that OConnor, defeated by Fay ir "comebackN primary campaign l last spring, sent word down the line to his Democratic followers tc split the ticket and vote eepubli- gGcan Or not, vcte 1t all in tho Congressional fight.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER IT.

Good and evil planetary aspects are strong in their influence to- day. Christian faith will be put to the test as the powers of evil ap- pear to be victorious.
 Heart and Home: Women are under benefic sway today which should be fortunate for their pub lie work along philanthropic lines. The stars presage need of sustain ing courage in meeting changed conditions affecting the family as well as the state. The seers recom- mend a systematic form of giving among persons who are possessors of average incomes. This is an suspicious date for young folk in- terested in romance.
 Business Affairs: Merchandising in food of every description is sub ject to kindly stars The coming Thanksgiving season will be cele- brated by generous buying and giv- ing as an expression of conscious ness of the blessings of peace. Trade will be stimulated by early lholi- day shopping. Hotels and restaur- ants will profit through incnaased patronage as the "eat, drink and be merry spirit has a special sig nificance.
 National Issues: Economy will be preached as federal expenditures increase. Appointments to new bu- reaus, necessary in the prepared ness program, will bring experi- enced men and woman into pub lie service where efficiency is the watchword. Political influence will fade as the real urgency of de- fense for our great democracy is comprehended. Washington will learn lessons from Paris and Lon don.
 International Affairs: Protractec conflict is prognosticated, despite the handicaps of winter weather although war will take on surpris- ing phases. It will be remembered that for more than two years as- trologers have emphasized the ele- ment of surprise in world affairs A Nazi coup is to be Illuminating to Uncle Sam.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of con- tentment. Gain through artistic pursuits is forecast for women.

Benefic aspects rule today. The morning is most favorable for launching new enterprises. Labor is subject to stimulating and help full influences.
 Heart and Home: This should be fairly fortunate for women who should proceed with routine af- fairs. It is an suspicious date for engaging household help or for making changes in the home which should be the center of gayety and hospitality. Warning is given that subversive agencies will pervade clubs and social groups. The young should be safeguarded from dis loyal ideas presented in many guises. Peace movements may con- ceal ulterior motives.
 Business Affairs: Transportation mediums will profit as there will be considerable travel under goy- ernment direction. Movements of large numbers of men will engage railway communications. Aviation will make tremendous progress through the winter, as inventions overcome many handicaps. Warning Is given that an accident may be far-reaching in its effect.
 National Issues: Money-raising campaigns for financing govern ment projects connected with de- fense programs will gain impetus III the new year. Tax burdens will increase but in Washington there will be sharp economies instituted ln governmental expenditures, al- though civilian employees will nec- essallly increase. Patriotism will be manifested in practical acts. Motion

Unlike many others, Sherley did not attempt to capitalize on his friendship after Roosevelt was elected, but went back to his law practice, saw the President only when sent for. One of these times was the closing weeks of the recent campaign, when Roosevelt sent hurry call for Sherley to backstop Chairman Ed Flynn at National Committee headquarters in New York.

Aides Named 10 Guard
Interests Of Labor and
Agriculture in Draft
Representatives Of Both
Departments to Advise
On Deferment Guides
By CARTER BROOKE JONES.

ny Shn 0XNoonL JOANGCs
With a view to co-ordinating
closely selective service training of
young men with the interests of
labor and agriculture, the Agri-
culture and Labor Departments
have assigned liaison representatives
to consult with officers at national
selective service headquarters, it was
announced today.
These representatives were named
by Secretary Wickard and Secretary
Perkins. They will work with occu-
pational advisors at headquarters in
preparing material on vocational de-
ferments from military service for
distribution to State advisors. These
State advisors, it was pointed out,
are cooperating with the draft ma
chinery in their communities and
with employers, in the hope that
100000 men may be trained each
year with "a minimum of dis
labor, the professions and the gen.
eral economic life of the Nation"
Selective service officers in WASH
ington, it was explained, also are
in almost constant consultation with
representatives of labor, agriculture,
industry and business organizations.
Others Must Register.
Men serving in any Of the armed
forces must register for the draft
when their enlistments or commits
sions expire, If they were between
the ages of Fl and 36 on registra-
ton day, october. Is, 1t was also
announced.
Soldiers, sailors, marines, guards
men or reServists must register II
they fall within the registration
ages even If they do not return to
civil life for five years. In other
words, their obligation to report to
their local draft boards when they
leave the service lasts as long as the
Selective Service Act remains in
effect.
This does not mean, however,
that all these men, or even a sub
stantial portion of them, will be
drafted. Officials pointed out that
experience in the armed forces is a
basis for deferment from the years
selective service training on these
conditions:
/. Any man who has served salts
factorily for at least three years
in the Regular Army may ask and
obtain deferment.

Q Any National Guardsman may
request and receive deferment if he
has served at least one year in active
