HOROSCOPE
1.-THE stars incline
but do not compel"
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER q

After the early morning, adverse
planetary aspects rule today While
there is a good sign for men III
high positions, financiers n d
bankers, the stars frown upon
workers in many fields of effort.
Heart and Home: Women are
well directed under this sway
which exacts unselfish- service,
Family ties will strengthen as the
mad world suffers abroad, defect
ing troubles and anxieties to the
United States. Many love affairs
will mark the autumn and the re-
mainder of the year as the young
reach out for happiness. Marriag-
es will multiply and economic OBJ
stacles will be ignored.
Business Affairs. Industry will
suffer from labor difficulties
Strikes are forecast. Workers will
profit as taxpayers contribute to
the general welfare. Unemployment
will greatly decrease as the gov
eminent pays the wages of thou
sands employed in preparedness for
national defense. Foods will vary
in cost as winter begins and the
price of bread increases. American
merchants and manufacturers will
abstain from profiteering.
National Issues: Although the feel
ing of wars menace will be gen.
eral on the Atlantic coast, resi-
dents on the Pacific coast will be
ess apprehensive than conditions
warrant. An incident in the Orient
will awaken the people to the Sc
cret advancement of japanese
plans to dominate the Philippines
and other important islands. Di-
plomacy, subtle and far-reaching
will be unfavorable to the United
States in which many Japanese
spies have been working for three
decades.
International Affairs: European
conditions will become more diff
cult to accept as winter draws near
Malefic planetary influences will
affect India. Seismic disturbances
are indicated in the Orient There
are aspects read as inspiring for
the British who will demonstrate
more and more the splendid fiber
of the people of the long dominant
Empire. There are still evil por-
tents for the Navy. Epidemics will
affect many nations Of Europe
where under -norishment will re-
duce resistance to disease.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of pro-
gress, but it Is wise to cut down
family expenditures wherever eco
Monies are possible.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be self-reliant. faithful
and optimistic. These subjects OF

the finer things of life.

successor, Henri Haye, who is a
great personal friend of Bullitts.
Reason for the French desire
to have Bullitt back is that they
realize they cannot be enemies of
Britain and friends with the Unit
ed States at the same time, and
they want to heal the diplomatic
breach with the United States.
One important reason for this is
TO get food to France With Bull
lit in vichy, they at least can rep
resent their viewpoint
Another purpose might be to re-
sumo diplomatic relations wit h
Britain. The British are willing to
negotiate any time the French take
the initiative, and Bullitt might pe
the intermediary.
NOTE-What happens to food
brought to France is illustrated by
the disposal of shipload of 5000
sheep obtained from Northern At
RIGA. When they arrived at a
French port, 5000 of them were
appropriated by the Germans and
Italians.
DRAFT ADMINISTRATORS
Governor Lloyd Stark of Mis-
souri,, defeated last month in a
primary attempt to unseat Sena-
tor Harry Truman, is angling for
appointment as draft administra-
tor, new office created by the
CONSUMPTION act.
A World War veteran and sue
cessful business man and farmer
Stark is on close terms with the
White House. With his senatorial
hopes dashed by narrow margin
and his term as Governor expiring
this year, Stark is anxious to re-
main in public life and is pulling
wires to land the compulsory train
ing job.
However, he is up against two
tough hurdles-Truman and Ben.

Murdoch is a member of the

he countered with a coup of his

words, but made it clear that he
liked him and considered him a
very important lieutenant. Max

What Murdoch did't know was
that Senator King tried to gel
just such a letter and failed.
Before going out to Utah, King
called on the President, and des-
pite a long and bitter record Of
anti-New Deal warning, asked hin
for an endorsement. When Roose.

Some extraordinary award for bravery should

that one cup of tomato juice will provide all the

What makes this stand courageous is that it is

 Observers along the southeast coast said the German planes were roaring over the grey channel wa ters in squadrons of unprecedented size.
 One attacking armada required 10 minutes to pass over the coast. Mist obscured them, but it was be- lievedi they numbered more than 200 plane z 4 Fsss.,s The German planes droned up the broad Thames estuary toward London, bombing as they went.
 About midday a great air battle was fought at the mouth of the Thames when marauding German squadron ran full tilt into a Brit ish hurricane patrol. Spitfier squad rOns, with all eight machine guns splitting, zoomed up to reinforce the lighter-armed hurricanes.
 Driven Back To Sea
 After a fierce dogfight the Ger man planes were driven back to sea.
 The British fighter planes attack ed the Germans so quickly and doggedly that anti-aircraft guns had a chance for only few minutes of action before they had to cease firing for fear of hitting British planes.
 Before noon it was estimated that at least $50 German planes had crossed over the British coast at one southeast sector. Others flew in from other directions. If the Germans kept up the pace, it was indicated, that the days fighting might top any so far since the start of mass air warfare.
 At this hour the official score of German planes downed was already 28 British losses had not yet been compiled.

The school strike in Rockville showed no sign of stacking today as parents and pupils, disregarding advice of Joseph DeLuca, president of the Rockville Community club, continued to picket the wooden building condemned as fire trap by the board of education.
 Parents insisted that all pupils must be provided with transporta- tion to the East Farm schcool or they would continue to refuse send ing any of their children to the modern building tfree-quarters of a mile up the road. The Board of Education has ruled that only chil- dren of the first three grades will be given transportation.

l War Moves On
 Today's Board
BY J. w. T. MASON (Unted Press War Expert)

General Ion Antonescu's assump- tion of dictatorial powers in Ru- mania following abdication of King Carol, strengthens Germany's posi- tion in southeastern Europe against any possible Russian effort to re- dress the Balkan balance of power. General Antonescu is pro-Nazi and anti-RusSian. He would cooperate enthusiastically with Hitler if it be- came necessary to check Stalin.
 At the same time Antonescu may be expected not to take the intia- tive in challenging Russia. He is ambitious to regain Bessarabia and Bukovina for Rumania but he will be subject to advice from Berlin establishing his foreign policy. Car ols abdication doubtless will be considered sufficient temporary pay ment for all of Rumania's recent territorial losses to Russia, Hun gary, and Bulgaria.
 Antonescu's major objective will be the strengthening of his country in preparation for possible future occasion when Rumania can strike with German support. He must &C., quiesce in Rumanian losses to Hungary and Bulgaria because they were ordered by Germany. but there remains for him the possibility that the Russian seizures eventually may be recovered.
 Stalin More Concerned
 Thus, 1t is Stalin who has reason to be more concerned than anyone else over the sudden elevation 10 power of the new Rumanian dic- tator, who had been held under Preventive arrest" for opposing stalln's annexation Of Bessarabia and Dukovina.
