action and constantly on the go Krueger also is scholar. He speaks four languages. is an alert student of foreign military tech niques and modern methods. When well over fifty he took flying course at Brooks Field and travels almost entirely by plane. Krueger was long known in the Army as one of its top organizers and ex- ecutives; in the Louisiana war games he also demonstrated that he is very able and forceful field general.
 One of the best indications of his high caliber is the crack staff with which he has surrounded himself It is without peer in the U. S. Army and has some of the best tactical brains of the army.
 Chief among these younger aces is Colonel Dwight Eisenhower. chief of staff, who conceived and directed the strategy that routed the Sec ond Army Eisenhower has a steel trap mind plus unusual physical vigor To him the military pro- fession is science and he began watching and studying the German army five years ago.
 Eisenhower's deputy chief of staff is another crack Army braintruster He is Lieut.. Colonel Al Gruenther leading bridge ace of the Army and shining star of the General Staff until Krueger wangled him for his staff. Both Eisenhower and Gruenther are destined for bigger things in the Army. They are mer to watch, witii Major General R C..

"CAJUN" SOLDIER

The historic Arcadian C"Cajun'O section of Louisiana in and about which the war games took place was never ending source of inter- est to the thousands of citizen soldiers.
 The local people were extremely friendly and hoSpitable and were as intrigued with the soldiers as they were with them. Practically all doors were open and the two weeks of maneuvers were d de- lightful experience to both groups The towns in which the two Armies operated hotly took sides and eel ebrated or despaired as the tide of war fluctuated.
 But locally the real heroes were the "Cajun7 soldiers. They were the pride and glory of the "Cajun' country and stories abounded about them. One regaled with great relish throughout the Third Army, which brides itself on its military discipline, was about a young "Cajun" recruit who failed to salute his colonel. The colonel stopped him and said, How long have you been in the army?"
 Two months was the pleasant answer, "and you?"

COMMITTEE VERSUS COMMITTEE

 There's the America First Committee, headed notably by Charles A. Lindbergh and Senator Bur- ton K Wheeler. These the ringmasters of the iSolationist movement
 On the side of the interventionists an organiza- ton calling itself the Fight for Freedom Committed is battling the propaganda of the peace front. One of the manstays of this Fight for Freedom Committee is Editor Herbert Agar of the Louisville Courier Journal About week ago, he talked tt the University Rotary Club, in Seattle and said g lot of things that made good news copy, and tole some things which military censorship has hushec in the current news dispatches from Europe.
 Editor Agar made his Seattle address in reply to recent Seattle speech of Senator Wheelers. II direct contrast to the Montana Senator's declaration that this is no war of ours the Louisville news paper editor proclaimed with fire that if the Ameri- can people follow the advice of the America First Committee and 'fet other people die for them, this nation will not have the moral influence of a flock of goats" after the struggle is
 The America First Committee is deliberately attempting to hide the picture of what is hap pening in continental Europe, Agar charged. He said further
 They are trying to tell this is just
 another of the old wars for conquest of more territory
 "The facts are, this is utterly unlike the imperialistic of the past. It is a neck or-nothing counterrevoution against civliza- tion itself
 If this is just to decide who owns Lorraine or the Cameroons who shall control the Suez Canal, how you explain the thousands of Poles, free French, Norwegians, Dutch and Begians who have fled to England to take up against the common enemy?"
 "A systematic and terrible move has been made to wipe out the spirit and hopes of the Polish people Nazi leaders doing something to Poland that has never been at- tempted before ins human history,
 They are attempting to deprive this un- happy people of the memory of their past by destroying all Polish books in Poland, pied France and other subjugated countries.
 "Ths is the last terrible step to make them a helpless, doomed spiritless mass of abject slaves. It is a deliberate plan to impose aphasia on courageous nation by brute force.' T'ts

TUESDAY, OCIOBER 3G E Y
 Adverse planetary aspects are ac- tive today which may be marked by fears and apprehensions, many of which are due to foreigna news that is unreliable.
 HEART AND HOME: Under this sway there may be an inclinatnn for members of the family to keep secret from one another matters of real importance. The stars en7 courage deception including what ever pertains to love affairs. It is time to analyze domestic aims and to discard what is non n7essen- tial in changing social and eco- homie order. The seers long have preached thrift and have foreseen the limitation of buying and even the cessation of installments plan purchases of all sorts. bat .
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: CurtaIl-l ment of certain sales will be mofeI and more unfortunate for certain lines of trade, but adjustments will lessen losses and assure pro-i fits. Trade negotiations of great importance are forecast and a treaty that is of sensational pos. abilities is prognosticated. Industry and big business will cooperate with Government at sacrifice, but general employment will cause prosperity for the people of aver age means. ,t,4
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Entrench-l ment of spies in departments of the Government will be discovered, and publicized as treacherous em- ployees are dismissed or punished. Knowledge that Communists are numerous and active in disseminat- ing propaganda will emphasize ans, xiety, and seeming laxity in deal- ing with fifth column activities will arouse resentment With the United States as an ally of Russia complicated international relations will bring about serious inconsis- tencies as the autumn advances.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS S: Peace possibilities will be more and more discussed and pressure will be increased to encourage over lures in which this nation leads or dictates. Jupiter's kindly influ- ence will inspire anxiety for the cessation of war, but the stars presage continued conflict until Hitler is defeated. However, an armistice may be brought about for a brief period. There is an aspect that presages our closer relation to the Allies. 5 Persons whose birthdate it is should not make changes at this time. Great care in the choice of friends is enjoined. Caution in love as well as business matters is counseled. fs,a e;
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be sensitive and endowed with lofty aspirations. They may be too visionary to succeed in inn portant careers, but can accom- plish great things if wisely guid- ed. X

 Lear's great passion is soldier Illness, the essence of which he con- siders to be discipline To him an army without sound discipline is a mob; an army that has it one of the finest creations of man. AS commander of the Second Army all his efforts are bent toward making it that kind of an army. His forte is definitely the training of troops NOTE-Lear rose from the ranks and one of his greatest brides is that he was once a crack first ser geant.

"sHAvETAILs" AND GENERALS

fAlND
 Greatest personnel problem of the new citizen army is second lieu tenants and field generals.
 Most of the former are too green to know what it is all about and the latter too old to learn. Being young, eager to learn and bright, most of the "shavetails" can be taught. Some of the generals will be replaced by younger and more adaptable officers.

Navy Opens Schools
At Air Station For
Needed Ground Crews

To supply the Navy's need for
men having basic training in the
ground work of aviation, the Navy
Department has announced the
opening of schools at several
Naval air stations to give instruc-
tons to would-be aviation metal
smiths, machinists, radiomen and
ordnancemen.
These schools are open to re-
cruits who can qualify on the
completion of recruit training and
before assignment to sea duty on
board ship. Such schools are
called Class "a" Schools, Group
~, because they give basic in
struction and because they are the
fourth group of service schools
open to recruits.
The Class "a" Aviation Schools
offer an intensive course of in
struction in those skills essential
to the work of the petty officer
rates concerned. In the begin
ming, all men receive instruction

companied by Miss Beth King. Mrs

The recreation program of the
Grove is now in full swing under
the direction of Mr.. John Kady.
Every morning from 10 to LIZ
there are games for the small
children at the auditorium. From
2 until A there are games and
activities for older children. Dur
ing the entire day the tennis
court, volley ball, badminton and
other equipment is kept busy. In
the evening the adults and "teen-
ayers" play the various games in
the auditorium-shuffle board,
ping pong, volley ball, and bad
minton. In addition to these
activities, each week certain eve
nings are set aside for partic-
ular activities. For instance,
every Tuesday evening the Ladies
Volley Ball League goes into
action. Wednesday evening fea-
lures some sort of community af-

roast at the fireplace, and this
week it is going to be community
singing from slides. Thursday a
Mems Baseball Club will be or
ganized. Every Friday there will
be quiz program of some sort,
and everyone is welcome to par
ticipate in it. Other activities on
