We Need More G-Men
Philadelphia Record)

1
 The arm of coincidence may be long But il isn't long enough to embrace all the recent explosions factories engaged in defense orders or suitable for expansion of the defense program.
 It was asking lot as the authorities did, to ask us to believe that the three explosiones of November 12-all within an hour-were due either to accident or coincidence
 All of Us hoped that was so But in spite oi official reassurance, few of us believed it was.
 This latest blast at Bridgeville, third in week in the plants of the American Cyanamd & Chemical Corporation, is the straw which breaks that arm of coincidence as well as the proverbal camels back
 Sabotage is going strong in the US.A.
 It's no secret that saboteurs abound in defense industries The Dies Committee charges it; the FBI admits it.
 Difference between J. Edgar Hoover and Martin Dies the fact that Dies wants to blow things wide open chase lot of the spies out of the country, etc, whereas G-Man Hoover and his crime experts declare they'd rather keep under control the present crop of spies whom they know and watching, than to drive them out only to have a new crop appear. Then the G-men would have to spend a lot of valuable time just identifying them.
 The G-men say it's easy to arrest spies but that the important job is to trail them until their or ganizaton be broken up, and their general ob- ectves headed off. The other way means jailing a lot of small fry, who soon are replaced
 We don't pretend to know which method is better Offhand we'd rather trust the G-men than the Dies Committee whose good work has been overshadowed by reliance upon a long parade of crackpots.
 Whats the answer? Our hunch is that it lies in more and more G-men, at least for duration of the emergency. The FBI has been expanded. Right now it has about 134O trained men, and soon will have top of 150O.
 But 1,50O far from enough to keep a watchful eye the thousands of industrial plants engaged in defense production plus the haunts of spies and saboteurs plus all of the other calls upon the FBI.
 Much work of this character takes time and patience long watching and trailing. AS Hoover says, it's easy to arrest people but far from easy to scotch their schemes.
 Congress in session with little to do, should bestir itself to double-for starter-the FBI and vote the necessary funds After that force has been selected and trainedno s4Iall job in it. self-it will be time to decide whether 1t ought not be doubled again.
 There are too many explosions.
 There are far too few G-men.

Hobo Corps
 'Jining' Up

CLEVELAND, Dec. 3. Jelf Davis, king emperor" of the ho- DOCS, has discovered the national defense program is taking his brethren from the road.
 Many of our hoboes have joined 5he Army and Navy from coast to coast" he reported here after a look around. Our reports are just wonderful how they got in. We never encourage them to stay on the road-we try to get them to settle down.
 Jeff, who hawks razor blades 10: living, is getting ready to cele- brate in 1941 his 50th year on the road. He calculates in his time ne has hoboed 1,620OO0 miles and paid for another 30,000. These fig ures, which take in 138 trips from coast to coast, ought to stand ur as some sort of record, the self-styled king ng-emperor" suggest ed, particularly since the boys are getting in the Army.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4


 Again the stars frown upon the planet Earth. Adverse aspects con- flict with benefic influences and there may be mental depression. Heart and Home: Women are well-directed today, which gives them a sense of the responsibilities to the state as well as to the home. It is not an suspicious date to make decisions, but 1t is fortunate for initiative in what is well planned. It is not favorable for au- thority over workers in the house. hold. The servant question is to become more difficult to solve than ever before, if the stars are rightly read.
 Business Affairs: Women will prove their value in high positions in mercantile and manufacturing centers. The effect of preparedness programs will be felt in the marts of trade, but there will be trained men and women for technical jobs. Many who have retired will be reemployed as the need of speed, as we'll as clever heads, is appar- ent. Prosperity here will cause dis content among the victims of to- talitarian oppression.
 National Issues: Closer relations I0~;t;eh xx-i1 if,cY1iro y1rhr,o : eanda that is to cause trouble in many parts ol the United States. Labor troubles will be fomented, especially on the Pacific Coast where the results of oriental es- pfoaage over q long period o1 years Nil be felt indirectly Sabotage by a peculiarly effective method will cause heavy losses the tigst4s4E tsae year.
 International Affairs: According to q foreign asteologer Russia viii prove a factor Of terrible power sn the European war Warning IS given that even though Stalin may urn against Hitler he will not be a trustworthy ally for any democra- cy. The stars indicate that his habit of mystery regarding his poll icies hides the most cruel and far reaching ambitions. However, the stars presage but brief power for the two dictators, Hitler and Sta lin, who can not overcome death when it commands them.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fair ly good fortune. Gain in unusual ways is foretold
 Children born on this day will be sensitive, intuitive and highly intelligent. Many painters and mu- sicians belong to this sign.

WAR TOYS FOR cHRIsTMAs2

War toys for children That's 9 question in the minds Of many in the pre-C Christmas reason. Some parents say yes and others say mo- but most of them cannot see that it makes any difference
 For the most part the mothers think that war toys have definite bad influence. Martial toys uncivilized" writes Mary G. Phillips wife of a Cornell professor. They give importance to the savage brutal side of child" Constant association with paythings of martial nature would make reasonable" fears Josephine Powell wife of a physician
 But John Girdler superintendent of schools in Arizona, considers the whole thing Gettysburg a down quilt. Really after watching children for a great many years, I believe this is all much ado

Seal Sale

First Six Days Shows Re. Ceipts Almost Dollar

At the end of the first six days of the Christmas Seal Sale, re- ceipts were almost dollar for dol lar with the same period in last years sale. it was announced today by John Beck, Chairman of the Juneau Committee of the Alaska Tuberculosis Association.
 "The returns so far have been encouraging, said MT. Beck. and show that the people of Juneau wish to continue their support of the work of the Association While it is still too early to predict the final results, we hope to be able to equal l939's record sale in Jul neau Since the first year that seals were sold here, there has never been year that did not show an increased response to our work and of course we would like to maintain that record if pos sihle
 we have received some requests for more seals than were mailed in the original packages. Any one wishing more seals may receive them either at the Association of fices above the First National Banl or at the Butler-Mauro Drug Store"

 Proponents of the plan retort that this would no more imply govern ment endorsement of the product than if soldiers in uniform attended the same shows in radio stations. Also, that it didn't matter who the sponsor was so long as the show was clean and star entertainment.
 NOTE: Civilian press aides in the War Department are strong for the proposal, but their military asso- ciates are not.

COME,N SEE IT

If certain lea ding g advertising agencies can sell the idea to Army brasshats, the boys in camp this winter will see star radio shows with glamorous movie queens, fam ous comics, popular crooners and top bands-put on the air.
 However, there is considerable difference of opinion among Army chiefs on this novel plan. They are agreed that the shows would be a big hit and a morale builder, but some of them question the commer- cial features of the program.
 If one class of sponsors, such as cigarettes or auotmobiles, is allowed to stage broadcasts in army camps they contend that others, such as patent medicines, might demand similar privileges. and couldn't fair ly be refused. They also argue that no commercial performances should

 Some of the Americans serving with Britain Royal Ah Force must have been seriously disturbed by learning that the very fact of their arrival England has laid them liable to fines Of sl0o00 ana imprisonment for two years As they go up in de- fense against flying Germans to raid the occu- pied channel ports, they probably will keep eye out for United States agents trying to arrest them
 Their presence in England is prima facie evil dence that they violated the American Neutrality Ast-probably violated it twice, once by passing through the combat zone, by travelling on a beligerent ship
 Exuaditlon might be difficult. That should be reason enough for the State Department to con- tnue have official knowledge of the violations. And even better reason, but the department probably would not discuss, is that the flyers are doing their best to help where help Is needed
