Here is the inside story behind the report that Burt Wheeler would resign his Senate seat and run for reelection to prove that Mon- tana supports his isolationist cru- sade.
 Wheeler's worries started when a statewide poll conducted by the Great Falls News, previously strong for Wheeler, showed sentiment bet ter than two to one against him. At first Wheeler pooh-poohed the poll. Later Representative James O'Connor, Wheeler henchman who is being groomed secretly to run against Senator Jim Murray, re- turned to Montana for a personal survey. O'Connor found so little isolationist sentiment that he lined up for the draft extension bill. Whereupon Wheeler decided to rush home himself
 What he found jolted him. Long the Democratic boss of Montana, Wheeler discovered he no longer ruled the roost. Some of the poli- ticos were still giving him lip ser- vice, but most of the important or ganization leaders were against him.
 Scared and furious, Wheeler launched two counter bolts. One was the story, put out through a friendly press source, that he planned to resign and run against Murray who comes up for re-elec- tion next year. The other move was a series of public meetings, to WOO back waning. political support. Both moves boomeranged \
 Instead of being frightened by the resignation story, the ponticos challenged Wheeler to run. That was the last heard of the matter. Att public meetings he was egged, booed and heckled.
 So now Wheeler is secretly try ing to organize a coalition of iso- lationist Republicans and Demo- crats to enter a full slate of state and congressional. candidates under a new third party label, the Am erica First Party"
 NOTE-One reason why politi- cal leaders laughed at Wheeler's s threat to resign was that this au- tomatically would make him lose his chairmanship of the powerful Interstat Commerce Committee ! highly prized post which he ges constantly to aid tbe isola- t

So they staging this cookie sale, with every grocery store in the city cooperat ing by offering the official Girl Scout cookies for sale over their counters.
 The three Juneau and one Douglas Girl Scout troops and the Brownie troops in each city (com- posed of girls too young to join the Girl Scouts are going to try to raise their funds by offering the public something for their money.

waiting weakens the Japanese through our embargo on raw ma- terials, these officers point out that every week of the Russian campaign weakens our chief po- tential ally in the Far East even more.
 Finally, the younger group in- side the Navy believes that Navy morale is now at its peak, has the support of American public opin- ion, and that morale will be in the doldrums if kept waiting too long. It would be natural to discount the enthusiasm of the younger of flcers, if it were not for the fact that Admiral H. E. Kimmel Com mander-in-Chief of the Fleet, and one of the most important men in the Navy, appears to agree with them.
 NOTE: Three years ago, when it was proposed that the U. s. Navy cooperate with the British in a long distance naval blockade to shut off the raw materials of war from the Japanese military clique, 1t was Admiral Stark who said No. Admiral Leahy, former Chief of Naval Operations, then Governor of Puerto Rico, empnatically op- posed him, always maintained that that was the time to act when the British Fleet was in it's prime, Russia had strong fleet in the Pacific, and the United States had no worries about the Atlantic.

The rest of Moscow, however, will not be easily destroyed, first because of the city's predominant ing brick and stone construction second, because of the concentric circles of wide avenues which will prevent fires from spreading. Therefore, Moscow will not burn, though it may be pounded to pieces.
 The Russians have concealed heavy artillery on the rolling hills around Moscow, and the fortifica- tions are strong enough to pre- vent any rapid advance into the city. Therefore the Nazis are ex- pected to attack chiefly by air and by starvation.
 Encirclement of the city in the same manner that the Runanian- Nazi army surrounded Odessa is sure to be Hitler's tactics.
 Military hindsight is al- ways easier than foresight, and now it is known that one reason for the Nazi pounding of Lenin- grad in the north and Kiev in the south was to draw General Tim oshenko's forces from the center. This ruse was successful. Timo- shenko sent out wings of defense both to the north and south. Then the Nazis, with their greater mo- bility, withdrew part of their fore es from Leningrad and Kiev, and rushed through the center.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2s

Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day. It is a date on which impor- tant events are likely to develop, a time of great significance 10 men in authority.
 HEART AND HOME: There IS promising sign for girls who seek employment today. It is an suspicious date for signing con- tracts or for beginning training for technical work. Nurses come under a sway that seems to pres age a winter of the most extra ordinary activity. Public health as- sumes extreme importance, but science will prevent epidemics by applying new remedies and novel methods of treatment. Housekeep- CTS should extend informal 1f6spi talities. Weddings are under Shappy stars.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: ,Reta il merchants should profit. sDefrand for furs and costly wool costumes will be brisk, for women will be avid for what is likely to be diff cult to obtain in the future. This is a favorable date for launching any new project, but large loans should be avoided. Railways will have a good season for there will be much travel as well as heavy freight contracts. Caution should guide today lest the future bring regrets.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Recreation for men in uniforms will present many puzzles at this time when nerves will be under strain. Super vision of selectees which must be scientifically conducted will be- come irksome to many and may cause comment from sympathetic relatives. Since the stars seem to warn of rising spirit of rebellion against restriction, there should be a philosophical attitude maintained. True patriotism accepts inescapa- ble restrictions cheerfully., Hi
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS {: The Jupiter Saturn conjunction this year was interpreted as pres aging the prominence of Russia in world war developments. It. is pro- phesied that eventually this ma tion will attain powerful position in European affairs. This will be reached only after the most ter rible losses of life and property, long and desperate conflict. and great changes in the present gov ernment The changes will begin next year when there will be his tory made in Leningrad. A, new nation is to emerge which will be progressive and powerful, a strong ally of the United States. As Rus sia gains, France and Italy will lose influence and importance.
 Persons whose bfrthdate it is have the augury of year of happy home life and expanding fortune. The future should be safeguarded by wise saving.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be clever and attractive, fond of pleasure and generally for tunate.

 THIS TIME

Diplomatic dispatches from Mos- COW report that the Soviet capital probably will not burn easily. ex- cept for one particular building. This is the American Embassy.

 Furthermore it is a white struc- ture standing out on the square opposite the Kremlin,~ an easy mark for bombers. That was one reason most of the Embassy staff moved out long ago.

Is MORE BULLETS
 TAKEN FROM POND
Shells May Possibly Have Been Stolen From Old
 HOWitzer Co.

Inspector Frank Starkel is still in- vestigating the nine trench mortar sSells weighing 10 pounds and the fifty tracer bullets recovered Satur- day morning by Police Supt. Wil- liam J. Roach and Sergt. George Chatheld, Patrolman James Over. ton and Motor Patrolman Raymond Grady at Pritchard's pond of Pearl Lake road.
 Inspector Starkel, in charge of the state police explosive and aminuni- ton department, said the shells con- tained black powder.
 Yesterday while searching of the AS calibre bullets, the local police used a sieve to separate the mud and IS more bullets were found. The su- perintendent said these bullets were used in an army automatic gun.
 On further investigation, MT. Roach who consulted with Major Peter Fox yesterday, said the amn1u- nition was not stolen from the Wa etrbury armory. A possibility exists they may have been taken from the old Howitzer company.
 The shells are about il 1-2 inches long and 3 inches in diameter and weigh, with the exception of one, about 10 pounds. The superintend- ent said that the word practice was stamped on the shells, which had the letters RA on them.
 The shells are believed to have been sent here from the Raritan ar- senal, Mituchen, N. J.. and the tracer and AS calibre bullets from the Frankforter arsenal.

 The police and fire authorities told the anxious inquiries that 8 fire was extinguished at the Water bury Manufacturing Company and that what they heard was the whistle to summons the company 6remen to quell a blaze which started in Dept. 52.
 After being assured that no dam age resulted, the neighborhood resi- dents retired to their beds and the vicinity again assumed the quiet stiffness which was only broken by the trobbing hum of the North Main street factory filling orders l by the night shift crew.
