ing. There is again a threatening sign affecting labor.
 Heart and Home: Until late to- day women should attend to or dinary duties The evening is aus picious for the entertainment of guests and should be especially fa- vorable for girls who welcome visi- tors of opposite sex. This is lucky date for programs of music or for stage plays. Informal dances are well directed by the stars, but new acquaintanceS should be avoided under this direction of the stars. Many nasty courtships and sudden weddings will mark coming weeks among aviators, soldiers and sail- ors.
 Business Affairs: Hotels and summer resorts should profit this weekend when vacations send many persons in search of rest and re- creation: Transportation companies will benefit. so will dealers in mo- tor cars. The. spirit that decides to seek enjoyment while there is an opportunity will cause generous spending by persons of many de- grees of affluence. Manufacturing will be pushed, despite labor trou- bles which will break out from time to time all through the sum- mer.
 National Issues: Patriotism will encourage personal sacrifices on the part of persons young and old, but the true significance of the times will not be generally understood until several weeks have passed. Loyalty in word as well as deed now should be demonstrated, as- trologers declare, for there is no time to be lost in reliance on the usual good luck enjoyed by the United States. The death of man foremost in public life has been foretold for this summer.
 International Affairs: Increase of war territory is indicated today. In the complexities of international re- lations the United States will loom with more and more. conspicuous ness. There is q sinister portent for aviators who will be engaged in the m6st.daSllsg exploits which test American made machines. For both

CHILKOOT PASS

Not long ago three Americans were flying over famous old Chilkoot Pass, between Alaska and Yukon Territory in the snow-capped Chil- koot range, making an aerial sur- vey of the country through which the United States and Canada plan to build the Alaskan highway.
 One was Governor Ernest H Gruening of Alaska. Another was young Representative Warren Mag nuson of Washington, pioneer pro- moter of the Alaskan highway. The third was tall, white-haired Thomas Riggs, chief of the International Boundary Commission.
 Gruening ane Magnuson were busy observing the topography and making notes. But Riggs was en- grossed for another reason with the crystal-coated terrain that shifted beneath them. He was reliving a memory It had been may years since Thomas Riggs had last seen Chilkoot Pass, and under far differ ent circumstances.
 In 1903 and 1906 he was one of the American engineers who fixed the boundaries of Alaska between the Yukon and British Columbia and prior to that hod prospected there during the celebrated gold rush days of the 90's. Later he was appointed Governor of Alaska by President Wilson. Now. after an absence oi more than quarter century, he was again gazing on the country that had played such an important role in his early life. Magnuson finally snapped him out Of the trance with a remark on the beauty of the view

who is the Treasury Departments representative, regarding the State Department's Division of Munitions Control. Young showed it to Secre- tary Mergenthau, who was SO dis- turbed that he took the matter up with the President, personally. The President in turn, asked Secretary Hull to do something about Joe Green. But nothing happened
 In the end, the memo went to Green himself, who offered what Philip Young described as "absurdly lame excuses" for his red tape.
 Greens office continued to be begged down as much as ever. Fin ally. several months ago the British prepared another memo asking if this bottleneck could not be speed ed up. However, just as they were about to submit the memo they heard that Green was expanding his staff. So they waited, hoping that this might remedy the situation But it did not. Greens routine k just as slow as ever.
 The following is an example of how he operates: Not long ago.a U. s machine tool manufacturer filled an order for shipment to New Zea- land. The OPM asked some ques- tions, thinking the machine tools might better be used in the U. s. A. but the British purchasing mission explained that the tools were need ed to make machinery for the pro- duction of equipment for Anzac bar racks in Egypt and Syria. The OPM promptly approved, and the British thought the matter was settled.
 But they had forgotten the State Department and Joe Green. Hi Division of Munitions Controls helC up the shipment for full week, not because he had any authority, bu purely through red tape.
 (Note-Joe Green has the repu tation of being the best friend O. Herbert Hoover in the State Depart ment.

FAMILY QUARREL

Behind Chrysler Corporations de- liant refusal to bow to Defense Price Administrator Leon Tender son and withdraw its price boosts, is an interesting personal angle. Legal advisers of the auto com pany in this dispute are former Attorney General Homer Cummings and his former assistant William Stanley.
 Law partners since they left the government, Cummings and Stanley have a number of big business clients, and several weeks before the Chrys- Ter controversy got out into the open made behind the scenes effort to mollify Henderson.
 Their first move was an invita- tion made personally by Stanley, tc visit the Chrysler plant as the guest of the company. Henderson's an. swer was an emphatic No" plus 6 blunt warning that if Chrysler didn't back down on its defiant price in creases the company would be pub aicly denounced and Congress asked for compulsory price regulation leg iSlation.
 Later, Stanley again conferred with Henderson but without results He stood pat on his demand that the 1 company drop its kited prices before olscussions were begun on whether 1t was entitled to charge more.
 tNote.-In a straight from the shoulder private talk to economists of the AFL, CIO and other labor or ganizations, Henderson urged then to counsel their executives to gc slow in making excessive pay de- mands; that he would resist these as determinedly as profiteering b, business.

 Benefic aspects dominate today which should be memorable for the spirit of national unity. It is, a date favorable for writing T, and Speech-making. nsos
 Heart and Home: Under this con- figuration good news from loved ones or family reunions are likely to be general. This should be a fortunate day for the head of the household who will incline toward optimism in the face of depressing experiences. The stars stimulate hope and increased faith in the ul- timate results of the war as it ex- tends its terrible influences toward the United States which noWwwill be deeply involved in the conflict There is a sign read as warning of deception on the part of foreign power.
 Business Affairs: Although agri- culture is under promising aspect dissatisfaction among farmers IS forecast as the summer advances. The demand for food will affect our commerce favorably and busi- ness in general will be profitable. The usual dull time through the warm months will not be. experi- enced this year, as defense meas- ures increase and extend with ac- companying outlays of vast sums of money. Inland towns and cities will prosper.
 National Issues: Reduction of certain civil salaries paid em- ployees of the United States Gov ernment will be advocated asg the cost of defense preparations isreal- ized by the public. Demands for wise economy or at least avoidance of waste will be widespread as taxes become a serious menace to per- sons of average incomes. Increase in the number of Federal employees will be marked through this month and next with many women swell ing the ranks of Government work CTS. Financial problems win be widely discussed.
 International Affairs: Russia will focus attention more and more on the European chessboard. DEcord in relations with the Nazis win be- come more marked, but Stalin will seek to hide his true attitude to- ward Hitler. The conjunction of Saturn and Mars next February Is read as most threatening to the Soviet Government which wM un- dergo drastic changes. if the stars are rightly read.

Back in 1898, farmers baked at
the philosophy of fear and in
action. Assisted by Government,
they came together and began to
work together to solve some OF
these difficulties. Through their
programs they have raised farm
income. They are conserving
their soil. They are rehabilitat-
ing poverty stricken farmers.
The farm front is broad one
but national programs for agri-
culture touch every part Of this
front.
Six million farmers co-operat-
ing in these national programs
are helping to give the answer to
those who question the future of
democracy. am well aware that
these programs have not solved
all farm problems. Out of the
war have arisen new difficulties
and new demands. The postwar
world will be different in many
ways from the world we knew be-
fore September, 1899. But given
a sympathetic national admins
tration farmers can meet these
postwar problems as they met
those Of 1888. They can achieve
the equality they must have if
they are to make their proper
contribution to the national de-
fense and to the American way
Of life.
Cannot Escape Our Responsibility
1t is the fate of this common
life that weighs upon all our
hearts tonight. The farmer, no
less than the businessman and
the workman, has his eyes turned
to the world situation.
Democracy over large areas Of
the Old World is threatened with
extinction. And no democratic
farm program in the United
States, nor the democratic way
Of life, can hope to survive the
death of democracy over the rest
Of the earth.
We cannot escape our collective
responsibility for the kind of life
that is going to emerge from the
ordeal through which the world
is passing today. We may dis
charge that responsibility un-
wisely, but we cannot escape the
consequences of our choice. We
would have it world in which
we may live in peace, freedom
and security-the kind of world
our farmer forefathers dreamed
of and worked for as they settled
the Atlantic seaboard and pushed
their way to the West. I am con-
fident that the farmers of 1941
want this kind of world to sur
viVe.

Text of Presidents Farm Talk
Roosevelt Praises AercuIture's Work
On Anniversary of A. A. A. Program

The text of President Roose-
velt's address last night in con-
nection with the eighth ami
versary of the administrations
farm program follows:
I am glad to be able again to
take part in this anniversary cele-
bration. Eight years ago today I
sent out a call for farmers and
farm leaders to come to WASH
ington to help draft farm legiS-
lation to meet the emergency.
That meeting led to the national
farm programs that we now
have.
Farmers did their work well.
Agriculture was almost helpless
before the emergency of 1888 but
in September, 1899, when another
crisis confronted us, the crisis of
the second World War, it was far
better prepared.
The reasons for the favorable
position of agriculture in the late
summer of 1889 are not hard
to find. Agriculture probably
suffered more than any other in
dustry from the shortsighted ma
tional policies that followed the
end of the first World War. When
the farmers arrived here in re-
sponse to my call of March .8,
1888, I found a group eager for
action and ready to lay aside
minor differences. They knew
there was no time to lose.
When the second World War
began, the farm programs in
augurated in 1888 served as
shock -absorbers for agriculture.
We had no repitition of the
"Buy-a-Bale" movement and
other ineffective proposals for
farm relief that followed August
of 1914.
in Splendid Condition"
Today there is no call to plow
up the plains. American agri-
culture is in splendid condition
to play its full part in the pro-
gram of national defense. Our
granaries are full. Our stores of
food and fiber are adequate to
meet our own needs at home
yes, and the needs of our friends
in other lands now fighting for
their eXistence-fghting in be-
half of all democratic forms of
government, fighting against
world control by relationships.
The country is glad that there
are no bottlenecks in our agri-
cultural production. The farm
front is ready for any demand
of total defense.
1t is no accident that the farm
ers of our country stand ready
to serve in the severe trial ahead
of US. Their preparedness is the
fruit of their own voluntary, con-
certed efforts, stretching back
over the years.
These efforts are embodied in
national farm programs, con-
ceived by the farmers and ad-
ministered by farmers.
To me the story of this achieve
ment is genuine inspiration.
