observations on the German army
so interesting and Informative they
urged him to call on the command

was provided with letters Of intro-
duction and reed a warm welcome
and keen audience everywhere
with one exception Lieut..
General Yoo-hoo Lear brushed
Shirer off, virtually throwing him
out Of his Office. Ills explanation
was that nothing a newspaper man

DEFENSE HOMES

When the OPM pasered a priority rating on building material recently, lot of folks who had been planning on building homes throughout the country took look at tine records and decided they would let the Federal Government build their houses for them.
 While increasing difficulty in securing building material and construction labor for private home building is making the erection of houses all most impossible, so far as the ordinary MT and Mrs. John Public concerned various federal agencies are preparing to construct around 100000 new houses.
 Right now the United States Housing Authority is building 28677 dwelling units; the Defense Hous- ing Division is building 20203; the Public Build ngs Administration, 32877; and the Division of Mutual Ownership, 4,600
 The Farm Security Administration in the De- partment of Agriculture is building 11946 rural D me units. The Navy is building 2,482 units; the War Department has 22O units under construction; the IVA is building 250; the Alley Dwelling Author ity in Washington, DC. Is building 550 and the Defense Homes Corporation in the Federal Loan Agency is building 3233 units
 It is estimated that not less than 30000 persons are on the federal housing payroll including 10000 in the capital city alone.
 With a set-up like that being granted prefer ence ratings in securing building material certainly if must have new home, it would easier to quit our non-defense jobs for defense work or move onto farm, then demand that our house be built By a federal agency

torney General Francis Riddle has
 ordered prosecutions on every anti
 trust case that was pending when he took office. Riddle is a mili-
 tant defender of little business men and has issued orders to his Jus tice Department to protect their interests to the limit. The special House committee, headed by Representative John Tolan of Cali fornia, that is Investigating de- fense problems, will shortly issue a scorching report on the defense housing muddle. Co-ordinator Charles Palmer will be sharply cri- ticized and the committee will rec ommend a complete reorganization of federal housing agencies, with a new big appropriation for more construction. You can write it down that the isolationist-packed Senate committee conducting the movie probe will not tackle the ra- dio companies. The original intent was to do so, but public reaction to the biased movie investigation has been so unfavorable that the isolationists have quietly decided to drop the radio inquiry.

UNJUST FOOD PRICES

Are you paying high prices for pork chops? AAA Administrator Rudolph Evans says food prices should be falling, not rising.
 As he made this statemenc, Evans had in his hand a slip of paper just handed him by AAA market experts. It read, Hogs, slow, gen. eraly 10 to 20 cents lower than Tuesdays average"
 Evans pointed out that hog prices had dropped nearly $1.50 per hundred, from the recent hign; also that other prices are falling off. Butter, usually the bellwether of farm products, is cheap. CThe British are buying cheese, not butter) Also, wheat and corn are off.
 AAA is endeavoring to. prevent British food purchases from boost ing domestic food prices, and Evans says there are abundant food stocks to supply the British without caus- ing the. slightest increase in U. S. prices.
 His chief worry, however, is the future when British buying and the U. 6 defense boom are over. To the question of what will hap pen to the American farmer then, Evans gives this two-fold answer: n). Resumption of the AAA crop and acreage reduction program; C2) a large-scale drive for foreign markets, even at the cost of heavy subsidies.

On Business in Washington
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

(CleVeland Plain Dealer)
 An enterprisng Washington correspondent set himself the task the other day of ascertaining who was in the nations capital and what the business was of those he interviewed. He had seen enough in recent months to know that the old definition of Washingtons population was no longer rue-half Federal employees and half sightseers
 Of 50 persons questioned 49 were in the capital on business, which is to say they there to get something from the government Some of course, wanted jobs and others contracts. As might be ex- pected labor troubles responsible for the pres ence of fair number of visitors, while there was more than sprinkling of persons who thought they had the to the multiple problems created by the defense program and were looking for some pub lie official who would listen to them.
 Better perhaps than any news story previously published the results of this poll indicate the ex- turvy by national defense and the problems arising from it. AS our own Washington bureau pointed out the other day the number of persons the Federal pay roll is the highest in history. It has expanded so fast in fact that it has been necessary to decentralze Federal activities and more n order to insure reasonable living accommodations for government employees.
 Doubtless the chaos in Washington at the mo- ment is like the condition of the hospal patient who has not yet reached the crisis of his illness which IS to say that it will have to get before 1t gets somehow to profit from the national emergency will presently constitute even higher percentage of the capital cty's populaton.s

angel and the battle of the Nazis to cut this American lifeline to the Russian Army. Here are some of the factors influencing that bat tie.
 First is ice. After January 2, the port of Archangel and the White Sea are frozen solid. In 1918, when American troops spent a dreary winter at Archangel, British ice breakers were unable to keep the ice open. But though the Russians say they now have big modern ice breakers which can do the trick, U. S. experts still have their fin- gers crossed.
 A modern ice-breaker has no trouble cutting through a frozen mass a couple of feet thick But when it gets to be seven feet thick, the ice-breaker usually slides out on top of the ice and some times gets stuck. Furthermore, the wind and tides drift the ice after it is broken, so it piles up in great vertical cakes seven and eight feet high. -
 Finally the most difficult part Of the Archangel route is through the neck of the White Sea, a mar row strip only 50 miles wide where the land juts out under the water, making the channel even narrower
 Al .Als shallow water the ice
 ee1es almost solid, and it is feared that U. s, vessels, getting stuck in the White Sea, will sit
 here all winter, easX targets for 1azi bombers.

Alsika division sof the U. S. Office of Indian Al tfaia believes ~ B2H ha

AsSka division sof the U. S Office of Indian Af- Efafa believes EA9 And Hirst has some pretty good records in his office to back up his arguments
 The natives don't want liquor sold in their vil- lages in most cases. Hirst points out Licensed dis trbutors of firewater are operating in only towns in Alaska-Crcle Panama, Kayukuk, Nulato, Egegik Afognak and Quzinke-his records show. While in IA native villages in Alaska, the Indians have voted in local option elections since repeal of the 18th amendment, and voted not to allow liquor to be sold within the limits of their towns
 As of the last census, native population in Alaska 32458 and Hirst points out that though 88 percent these natives live in where the Office of Indian Affairs operates schools only 16 percent reside in villages where there schools and where liquor is sold also.
 On the economic side of the ledger, Hirst points to the per capita costs for Restitution pay ments among the natives. Destitution among Indian families in Alaska costs the Office of Indian Af- fairs an average of $i:23 per person per year, his records show In villages where liquor is sold, destitution payments average s2.57 per person nually, while in villages where there liquor stores the destituton costs average only 79 cents per year for each resident
 Natives who get drunk are necessarily among the minority, taking the Territory as whole. be- cause the majority of them not living where they procure liquor very easily.

Another rail line runs down from Leningrad to Bologda Juno tion. And if the Nazis can clean up Leningrad, they are sure to launch drive along this route.
 However, t he Russians have been concentrating a tremendous army in this area between Moscow and the vital port of Archangel. They say they can defend the en- tire rail line, and so far they have been able to convince Harrimans hard-boiled military experts.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30
 This is not an important day in planetary government. The morn ing is favorable for methodical conclusion of business details.
 HEART AND HOME: Interest in music and literature will be keen within the family circle. Books will be widely read and publishers will profit through non-fiction publications. Girls will be more serious than before the shadow. ot war changed even the gay world of youth. Simplicity in dress will be marked and the use of cos metics will be limited among wo- men of good taste. Old-fashioned charm will be cultivated by girls who have acquired artificial modes and manners.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Astrolo- gers interpret the signs as presag- ing continued good times through the coming winter Although there have been many prophecies of trade dislocations because of our participation in actual conflict there are aspects that seem to give assurance of winter of acceler- ated manufacturing and active trade with extended commercial interests. Merchants will profit as they practice economies in meth- ods of selling and distribution
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Leaders of thought in Government depart ments will seek the best support among experts in economics as they realize the tremendous post war opportunities and responsibili- ties that will rest upon the great est nation on the globe which must accept the most tremendous burdens after the peoples of Eu- rope and Asia have been exhausted by the most horrible conflict in history. Despite inevitable losses and sacrifices, the United States must be ready to continue the work of succoring the helpless and strengthening the weak. We can- not elude the consequences of the World War, although we may avoid the shedding of blood.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Noted astrologers appear to agree that we may go through the win ter without facing cannons or suf- fering bomb attacks, but the stars are read as presaging an incident that compels the United States to make a declaration of war This may be when the Sun enters the spring solstice in March. Between this time and March the Nazis will commit acts that are intended to goad the Administration to decisive action.
 Persons whose birthdate it. Is have the augury of year of rou- tine work and uneventful expe1- ences, but the forecast is most promising.
 Children born on this day will be clever and lovable. They may be too unselfish to reach supreme achievement, but they will enjoy more than average success.
