 He decided to follow the crowd and listen to LaGuardia's speech Suddenly he was approached by a group of men. Their spokesman said: welcome to Wichita Falls, MT Mayor. We are the reception com. mittee."
 Not for me-" said the Assistant Secretary. et
 "Yes, sir" said the spokesman And we've got only few minutes before the address begins. Will you come along?"
 "No, thanks" said Hill. I'm just going to stay here and listen to the speech"
 The men were perplexed. ''The time is getting short, MT. Mayor

 In some embarrassment, the Wichita Falls reception committee withdrew a few paces and went into . huddle. Presently they came back with smiles on their faces and said "Mr. Mayor, we appreciate your lit tie joke, but it really is time to go.'

Free French Forces
(NeW York TimeS)

(NeW York T1meS)
 With Vchy edging ever closer toward Berlin, the strength of General de Gaule's Free French move menJ assumes increasing importance. How com petey has Vchy been able to suppress it in France and that part of the French empire 1t still controls? What forces has de Gaulle been able to gather in former French territory?
 It would be wishful thinking to credit French opposition to Vichy with more vitality than it has The French people beaten, divided and disprited Nevertheless the Petain Government is clearly alarmed at the penetration of de Gaullsm in France itself publiczed trials of de Gaulle adherents continually taking place; the cruel weapon of loss citizenship is frequently invoked It has been necessary to close French frontiers and ports against the flight of French youth to join the free forces abroad. A considerable number of French planes from Africa have landed British fields at Gibral tar Similar assertions occurring almost daily in Syria and it is reported that 25O0 chasseurs followed Colonel Collet across the border into Pal estine.
 Outsde~of France de Gaulle has assembled con- siderable strength. The l-timed debacle at Dakar no doubt injured his cause which has been handled with little political shrewdneSs. Nevertheless, and despite Gran, he now has at his disposal hundred fighting craft, including several major warships Re- cruting has mounted quietly but steadily. In French Equatorial Africa alone he is said to have army still poorly equipped of 25O0OO Well-armed brigades are fighting in Ethiopia and Egypt and ready to fight in Palestine. Nowhere yet has General de Gaulle been able to concentrate powerful combat force. But everywhere these troops of Free France have shown fighting qualities and spirit of sacri- flee which the Men of Vichy may find it hard tC inspire in their own troubled ranks.

 G. It would authorize the Secretary in his dis cretion, to LEASE oyster bottoms TRAP SITES at reasonable" rental.
 T. It would require detailed reports to the Fish and wildlife Service from all engaged in fishing OR FISH PROCESSING. From the present phrasing, the requirement. apparently might be extended to every phase of operation, including detailed costs selling prices and complete sales records of fishery products.

 g. It would repeal all prior legislation inconsis- tent with the proposed law, but does not in way identify or define the laws or parts of laws re- pealed.
 Included in these provisions is enough dynamite to shake-if not the earth-at least the broad Ter riory of Alaska where fishing is the No. industry. Alaskans, who don't like Harold Ickes anyway, will do tall shouting before agreeing to enactment of bill which says "the Secretary of the Interior is authorized and directed to determine when where, to what extent, if at all, and by what means the fishing may be permitted
 Charles E. Jackson, Acting Director of the Fish and Wildlfe Service this original draft is only tentative and is subject to change after further study The draft he says, prepared in the office of the Service and has not been submitted as yet to the Department of Interior. He promises that packers and fishermen will be heard on the subject before anything is done toward enactment. But he says "it is hoped that bill embodying the consoi- dated opinion of the government and others con cerned will be introduced for consideration in the present session of Congress"
 Interested Alaskans-and all of should be in- terested-had better rouse themselves to a careful study of the proposed legislation and its implications

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25
 Mercury in benefic aspect dom- mates today. In the morning the stars encourage initiative. There may be minor labor difficulties, owing to misapprehensions of na- tional aims. e'f
 Heart and Home: Young folk are well directed by the stars today. Demand for efficiently trained boys and girls in practical work will be widespread. There is promise of future good fortune for those who aid in agriculture. Again farmer cites will be popular, especially in the West. This is not a favorable date for making new friends of op- posite sex. Love letters will be more welcome than evening callers under this configuration. a7
 Business Affairs. Marvellous in- ventions will be introduced by Am erican manufacturers and will be of great value in connection with arms and armaments. Carefully guarded secrets, however, will be obtained through treachery Astro- logy warns that publicity unwisely employed will be most unfortunate in many cases. They emphasize the fact that the American manner of presenting news and gossip gives | aid to enemies and they advise strict censorship of radio and press. AS war comes closer to the United States the utmost vigilance is nec- essary.
 National Issues: Minority leader ship will be widely discussed as courageous policies must be- ac- cepted in a period of emergency. Support of the Administration will be given in the spirit of patriotic non- -partisanship, it is forecast, but isolationist criticism will continue through a supreme crisis for the United States. Astrologers repeat their injunction to achieve prepari. edness before taking steps toward war which will invite bloodshed.
 International Affairs: Seismic disturbances are predicted for Tur- key which has the forecast of three years of complex international re- lations. The progressive spirit pf the people will survive through grave experiences that compel cer- tain concessions to the Axis powers. This is week of decisive moves on the part of conflicting armies. In the war balance the cause of democracy is to find it's forces out weighed, but only for time, since great aid for the British is prog nosticated. aat q

Or if an American vessel is load ing for the Red Sea the papers sign- ed by the crew must disclose the port of destination. This is required by law, so that seaman may know where he is going and because extra insurance and sometimes extra wages are paid if the ship enters certain areas.
 Once a British ship is loaded however, the utmost secrecy is i'm posed on it's route and time of de- parture. Usually the ship hugs the shore as far north as the Canadian port of Halifax. There it may wait for days or even two or three weeks for convoy to be made up.
 When it finally leaves for the haz- ardous voyage across the Atlantic, orders are given to the ships master by hand. Nothing is trusted to radio A small boat puts out from the com- mander of the convoy, carrying seal ed orders to the master of each ves- sel. Tsr-
 No other orders are given, and no radio messages are exchanged dur ing the trip except in case of at tack, because radio messages might be picked up by Nazi patrol planes.
 NOTE: American ships, on the other hand, follow a regular, we'll advertised course and constantly send out radio messages informing the world of their position

NATIONAL MORALE

No announcement has beeh made about it, but the job of energizing national morale has been turned over to Mayor LaGuardia.
 Nor has any announcement been made of the bitter inner cabinet debate as to whether he should be appointed.
 This job is in addition to La- Guardia's duties as Director of Civil Defense, and the inside story goes back to last December, when Roose- welt was urged to counteract sub- versive Nazi- Communist propagan- da. He agreed, but said Lowell Mel lett, an anonymous White House secretary, was handling it.

THE OLD RUN-AROUND

Finally Secretary Ickes raised the matter at cabinet meeting and offered to formulate a program Roosevelt gave his approval. And Ickes, with characteristic vigor, swung into action. .Whereupon Mel lett interposed objections.
 For months he had been bump on a log, doing nothing. But now he got all hot and .bothered-about Ickes taking over. Mellett didn't like it and hot undercover wrangle ensued Finally Roosevelt halted the argument by turning the whole mat ter over to Vice-President Wallace. Picking up from Ickes, Wallace worked out number of plans, turn ed them back to Roosevelt, who in turn put them in the hands of La Guardia when the latter became Civil Defense Director. This has brought another squawk from Mel lett that the morale job should be entrusted to new agency set up for this express purpose.
 But LaGuardia, who made his own terms when he took his Defense post, is still in charge of national morale.
 NOTE: Mellett is responsible for the selection of most of the huge corps of so-called press aides clut- tering defense agencies. Working newspapermen consider him gener- ally incompetent and useless in the government service. One way NOT to get any information is to go to these men, most of whom spend their time getting out bales of use less releases.

NEW FISHERIES LEGISLATION

Something very big indeed has been brewing in Washington for the Alaska fisheries. It is bill designed supersede the 1924 White Law and other previous legislation under which the fisheries of the Territory have been administered.
 The White Law gives the Secretary of the In- terior broad authority to determine where when and by what means fish may be taken commercially from the waters of Alaska. A rough draft of the pro- posed new measure just unveiled by the Fish and Wldife Service would vest the Secretary with even greater powers
 Stated purpose of the bill, to be known as the Alaska Fishery Law, is Ito protect preserve and de- velop the fisheries of Alaska" reading of the present draft shows that it is still in very imperfect form with many points of vagueness and uncertainty which will require more definite statement clar- fication before the precise meaning and effects can be determined It is evident however, that it would introduce into the Alaska fishery administration sev eral fundamental ideas which quite different from those on which regulatory activities now based.
 The more important points in the proposal briefly stated, follows:
 l. Instead of tacity accepting fishing opera tions public right universal privilege to be limited controlled by law and regulations as in the existing laws, it would PROHIBIT ALL FISH ING in Alaska except as expressly permitted by the Secretary of the Interior, with provision for hearing appeal.
 2. It would extend the authority of the Secre- tary of the Interior to control of deep fishing in the North Pacific, north of the latitude of Dixons Entrance, prohibiting importation of food fish taken in these waters except the Secretary may permit.
 3. It would place all fishermen and operators of gear boats used in fishing operations-also all operators of dams, TRAPS, or other fixed obstruc- tions in any waters of Alaska-under license per- init immediately revocable, without appeal. for vio lations of law regulations.
 A. It would authorize the Secretary of the h.

Providence, R. T., Oct. 2-(UP)- New England women are urged to abandon Flip service" and substitute for 1t actual service in a united de- fense effort.

 Our united effort must forget creeds, races, differences of all kinds to continue the American way of life for which our forefathers fought and died. The challenge Is with us today-we cannot pass it over to others or to posterity."

KIDNAP EFFORT
 ENDS IN DEATH
Former Georgia Governor Victim of Try-Assailant
 Commits Suicide

Lakeland, Ga, Oct. g. (UP) - The would be kidnaper of E. D. Rivers, former governor of Georgia, who killed himself when his plan failed, was revealed today to have been a self-appointed "avenger of the people" who planned also to cole lect c ransom.
 In his automobile trailer In which he shot himself after Rivers had fought of his attack police found three German English dictionaries and what seemed to be @ code book. Federal Bureau of Investigation agents were called in to examine it..
 He left two letters. One demon- strated that he had planned to kid. nap Rivers for ransom, leaving Mrs. Rivers and anyone else who had been in the house, bound, gagged, and drugged. The other indicated that he was a political crank and had planned to "avenge the people" for what he iancied were the poli- tical misdeeds of Rivers and other political leaders. Both letters reyeal- Gd COkloldGAupAG PSASOAA1A 0AAhAi0OAey for the former governor. Rivers was threatened with torture and death.
 The man was Identified as Horace W. Bikle of Danbury Lane, Bon Avon, Pittsburgh, Pa. A card in his purse said that Mrs. Horace w. Bikle of 3 West e2nd street, New York City, was to be notified in case of accident.
 The Rivers retired just before 10 o'clock last night. They were alone in the big, rambling house. Soon afterward there were heavy footballs on the porch, loud knocks on the door.
 Who Is it?" asked Rivers through the closed door.
 The man shouted back that he had a special delivery package for Rivers from the Federal Radio Com mission. Rivers opened the door. In- stantly he felt pistol jammed into his ribs and the man behind the pis- tol snarled:
 Hold up your hands. Don't turn on that light"
 Rivers grabbed the hand that held
