HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3

Aspects of many conflicting in fluences are active today. and should be employed wisely. There is sign that threatens labor or ganizations which may be affect ed by disrupting influences inter- fering with war industries.
 Heart and Home: Women are under a stimulating planetary di- rection, but they should not fol- low sudden impulses. Their judg- ment may not be trustworthy, since the heart may rule the mind un- wisely. Girls may expect happi- ness in love affairs. Young men may be reckless suitors, but they will be well guided under this con- figuration. This is day to accept whatever good luck comes and to put off critical analysis.
 Business Affairs: Training of young men and women will be for tunate for American industry With unemployment greatly reduced there will be prosperity for merchants of all classes. Ambitious projects which will provide for refugees are prognosticated The settlement of unoccupied lands in the West and South will mark the early spring The design and manufacture of clothing will prove most profit able.
 National Issues: The needs of child refugees will awaken citizens of the United States to the neg lected families of the poor in our own nation. Through aid for for- eign boys and girls our native chil- dren will eventually gain great ben efits. The value of our under privileged will be realized as sci ence provides knowledge for the remaking of the American people Washington is to learn to conserve human values as well as wealth in coming years.
 International Affairs: In United States universities the effect oi ideas-many of which have been imported from foreign foes of de- mocracy-will be evident as the training of men for the Army Navy and aviation is imperative Sensational revelations regarding the number of opponents to oul national defense program will Dc made in various parts of the coun- try. The Pacific Coast will be the scene of secret plots affecting ship ping and shipbuilding.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of successful year. It is a time to make much of opportunities great and small.
 Children born on this day prob. ably will be strongly individual Shrewd and subtle, they may bt difficult to understand, but the. should possess the elements of flint attainment.

NO EXCESS PROFITS

Not since the days of the Hoover Administration has there been such concerted and successful tax lobby as that which has swarmed the halls of Congress in an effort to gut the alleged excess profits bill.
 Result is that the new bill is not an excess profits bill at all. At least two-thirds of it is an increase on corporation taxes, which doesn't even begin to take away big business profits on national defense orders. AS a matter of fact, this flat tax makes it harder for the smaller firms to compete with the big ones.
 Furthermore, the new tax bill will raise only drop in the revenue bucket compared with what was ex- pected of it. With some six billions of national defense voted at this session of Congress, the new defense bill will be lucky if it nets one- third of a billion dollars.

A MAN WITH A PLAN

We had something to say a few days ago about memorandum to Congress by Trinidad A. Rojo in which he assails bitterly the bill of Dele gate Dimond designed to eliminate nonresident workers and nonresident fishermen from Alaskan canneries and Alaska waters progressively from 1941 to 1946.
 MT. Rojo called the bill suicidal boomerang but, unlike most critics, he has something to offer in it's place As a self-described student of popula ton problems MT Roo prescribes follows
 l. The resources of the Territory actual and potential, should be surveyed thoroughly as basis for estimating the number of people it can support
 3. After the approximate number is determined, the government should figure out the length of time it expects to fill Alaska with the desired quan- tity. CThis is going to be a cinchD
 3. The annual rate of necessary migration and the necessary increase through excess of births over deaths must be checked with the actual yearly rates If the actual rates fall below the required rates, the government has to examine it's policies and study the causes of the shortage in order to put more effective program.
 4 Communities must be planned in advance
 g. Recruiting offices in the thickly populated states of the Union should be established. Every under-populated country like Canada, Australia and South Africa" says MT. Rojo, has been pursuing similar policies" Rojo suggests a commission to the recruiting agents or 95 TOT every Hldll oZ lol every woman and $l for every child they talk into coming to Alaska
 G. Efforts should be exerted to pubicize the natural resources and possibilities of Alaska through the press, the radio and the movies
 T. Agricultural schools should be established in the agricultural lands of Alaska" where each pupil will be given so many hectares of land to culti- vate, which after graduation will become his land and to which he may call his family to live
 B. Roads should be built to connect the various communities and agricultural lands Fin the main land and in the big islands" These communications should be compemented with railroads and ferries.
 g. The immigration laws (now we're getting down to cases) should be amended as to open Alaska to selective immigration from foreign sources The United States immigration laws says MT. Rojo, should make exception to Alaska and "so that foreign immigrants will not Alaska gateway into the United States should be provided that

SENATE STRIPPING

Despite this. the tax bill as it came out of the House was a far more nearly genuine excess profits bill than when it came out of the Finance Committee of the Senate. There, Pat Harrison and other elder statesmen stripped it of almost ev- erything the Treasury wanted, there by causing Assistant Secretary of the Treasury John Sullivan to ask for the privilege of being heard by the committee. Harrison agreed = but wished he hadn't, for Sullivan gave the elder statesman a dressing down such as is seldom heard on Capitol Hill.
 This bill is a complete misnom- er," Sullivan told the committee, among other things. Tt is supposed to be an excess profits bill, but I find that less than one-third will come from war profits. This bill doesn't tax war profits. and l want the record to show that don't want any part of it."
 Afterward, the irate Pat Harrison sent for 6ulivan,s boss, Henry Nor genthau. and demanded if he knew about Sullivan,s statement. Morgen- thau replied that he did and had approved it.

A Secret" Accident?
(Philadelphia Record)

Philadelphia Record)
 It looked like one of Grimms fairy tales modern ized-unt Army Air Corps made it seem real
 Yes, we're thinking of the yarn out of Berlin about secret" paint used by the British to make their bombing planes invisible. Indignantly, the Nazis cry that due to the secret paint they can see only shadows of the attacking planes, vague targets at best. and hence the bulk of the British bombers get away in safety
 Oddly enough the British officially deny the German story, repudate what we'd regard as a high compliment to British ingenuity and resource fulness.
 Mystery? Maybe
 We can think of three solutions however, one or more of which may be correct and all of which may be wrong:
 First is that the Germans cooked up the story for the home folks as abi for their poor shoot ing, their failure to give Berlin better protection against the British raiders.
 Second that the British put the secret paint" on their planes by accident, without realizing it would cut down visibility sharply.
 Third that is really is secret paint" at least a paint specially designed to reduce plane vis bility. If so it is hardly, the Germans say, "a secret the British alone possess" This last does sound like an alibi
 Whatever the truth of the situation abroad, there's no mystery over here Army Air Corps off, cers say we have been experimenting for years with invisible paints and that two kinds now used, one for daytime, the other for night flying, both of which reflect minimum of either daylight or searchlight.
 Secret? The whole idea begins to seem simple and logical Almost simple and logical the accidental discovery that color-blind persons, in a plane, could spot camouflaged guns much better than persons with normal vision. Countless other military and scientific developments have been the fruit of similar accidents"
 But whatever the scientific angle of this new secret Successor to the secret weaponS'), it is encouraging to find the Germans starting to give out alibs for their failures They're being hit where it hurts. They're talking about pre- pairing for over the winter-having forgotten the promise that London would be captured by August IS.
 In another few weeks the Fuehrer may be tell ing his people about the secret fogs over London, which kept him from keeping that promise

 NOT: German intelligence agents unquestionably knew the exact ca pacity of American powder factories. and how limited our present pro- duction was namely, 20,000000 pounds year. They must have known also that the destruction of one factory would throw the United States off it's preparedness schedule more than any other single incident.
