LONDON-A Daily Mail dis
patch from Stockholm today said
that German crews were believed
to be flying 100 Russian airplanes
based at Murmansk and operating

hour he is alone, walking or
sitting at his desk making
copious notes, the nature of
which nobody knows.
He has grown noticeably slim
mer and slightly more nervous. but
seems healthy. He works Is or
is hours a day; his diet is severe:
he gets little or no sunshine or
exercise. and seems to have no
diversions.
He's only been out Of Berlin
twice since the conquest Of Poland.
The first time he went to Munich
and escaped death by only q few
minutes In the beer cellar bomb
ing there. On Christmas he visit
ed his troops on the Western front.
The rest of the time he has stayed
in the chancellory, almost a vol
untary prisoner. He works, eats
and sleeps there.
No Change In Diet
He limits his food to the off,
cial rations, but that hasn't alt
cred his diet. His meals have been
always of vegetables, fish, zwie-
back and fruit. His strongest
drink Is beer of one per cent alco-
holic content, brewed for him
especially.
He has kept his promise Of the
first day of the war, to wear MOTH
ing but an army uniform. 1t il
special shade of gray which no.
body else is permitted to wear and
entirely without braid or EN-
broidery, except for a goldl eagle
and q swastika emblem on the left
sleeve.
His only decorations are the
iron cross, first class, which he won
AZ q lance corporal in the World
war, his gold party badge and his
wound badge.
His work day begins with con-
ferences. Field Marshal Hermann
Goering il the only high official
who sees him every day.
Frequent callers are Colleen.

Grand Admiral Erich Raeder, COM

Lucky Seven
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 The public will approve the personnel named by President Roosevelt to serve on the revived National Defense Commission By selecting experts the Presi- dent has given that politics will not touch the Administrations national defense program The members named should prove a lucky seven for the United States
 By acting under a World War statute of 1916 the President avoided the delay that would have attended legislation to form coordinating body to direct defense. The country dare not procrasti nate this issue. The seven citizens who have accepted appointments guarantee that quick results will be obtained
 Edward R. Stettinius Jr, Chairman of the Board of the United States Steel Corporation, who will coordinate industrial materials, and William s. Knudson President of General Motors who will coordinate industrial production will probably have full time jobs. Like the other Commission members they will serve without compensation other than expenses testimony to the vital democratic patro- tism which still moves America.
 Sidney Hilman, President of the Amagamated Clothing Workers of America will supervise non combatant employment Chester C. Davis member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Sys- tenn, will coordinate farm production; Ralph Budd, President of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad, will direct transportation; Leon Tender son. New Deal economist and SEC member, will CO., ordinate the stabizaton of prices of materials, and Miss Harriet Elliott Dean of Women, University of North Carolina, will advise consumer pro- lection
 It would be difficult to select a more rounded and competent Commission. The qualifications of all these appointees for the posts to which they have been assigned well established With such citizens at the helm in this time of crisis the try can rest assured that the maximum effort will be made to prepare the nation for any emergency

it could count for immediate defensive action. This is less than tenths of percent of the nations man power Other nations count from three to six teen percent of their man power among their active forces and available This situation clearly points to the need for increased personnel in all branches.
 However, to put soldiers in the field the equip ment must be on hand and it is here again the country is unprepared We do not possess even one armored division as against 20 Germany is using We lack ammunition. Old World War stocks are still on hand 60 percent of which are useless. We have about 400 anti-aircraft guns not enough to defend city the size of Seattle We have $50 tanks less than have been destroyed in one days opera tion in Europe And what we have out of date. In artillery it is the story. We have $500 old 75s only Al of which measure up to modern standards.
 So it goes through every branch of service and every classification of equipment These facts should be a clarion call to Americans They should dispel any illusions about the safety of this country They are a challenge to action. They demand that the country get behind the rearmament program and push it with all possible speed.

FOXES

The Philadelphia Record in sly editorials headed The Age of the Animals delights in quoting ex- amples of mans humanity to animals leaving the reader to contrast this attitude with mans inhuman- ity to man.
 One item which hope the Record did not overlook appeared in Oslo dispatch to the New York Times the other day. It said:
 Silver fox farms located along Oslo Fjord have been decorated with little flags on tall masts These were not erected to beaufy the farms but to serve as signals to German fliers to give these areas a wide berth
 "On several occasions the roar of low-flying Ger man planes sweeping suddenly past frightened the valuable animals so badly that they bit one another scarrng the fur and in two instances infcting fatal wounds.
 "The owners complained to the Germans, who thereupon put up the signal flags"

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not C S'ppeW
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12
 This is a fortunate day in plane tary direction. The morning hours are stimulating to industry It is date lucky for signing contracts. Women are well directed by the stars.
 Heart and Home: This is day most fortunate for women who may expect much love and appreciation under this rule of the stars. It is happy wedding day that brings long association and progressive prosperity. Places of entertainment are under good aspects. This is a lucky date for starting on vaca- tions or pleasure trips. Fame for women who perform distinguished public service is forecast. A leader in educational reforms is to gain great influence through the preach ing of thrift and the simple life.
 Business Affairs: Home-seeking will be widespread as wise men and women desert crowded centers of population. Trade and industry should flourish through the sum- mer. Money will be spent lavishly in efforts to influence public opin- ion. Interest in the national politi- cal campaign is to be increased by a sensational incident in mid summer which will cause alarm. The need of a President who has superpowers as a diplomat and is a fearless leader will be recog- nized.
 National Issues: The seers warn against the dissemination of propa- ganda that stirs class consciousness or sectional prejudices. Subversive agencies will pursue novel policies that appeal to the young, but pa triotism is to have an added ap- peal to the great mass of American people. Unless a miracle happens the United States Army, with strong aviation forces, will assume unusual activities.
 International Affairs: Terrific loss of life in the European war will cause great concern in all parts of the world, since the dead must be counted in terms of what they would have accomplished if they had been permitted to live. Sacri- flee of inventors, scientists, poets, painters, musicians, educators and leaders of their fellow men means that civilization is to be retarded for centuries, the seers point out.
 Persons whose birthdate 1t is have the augury of year of gain through good investments or inheri- tance. Happy romances are indicat- ed for many.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be polite, sensitive and studious. Legal and literary talents belong to Gemini natives.
