 RUSSIA

The Peace Mobilization pickets who quit their vigil in front of the White House immediately after Hit Ter invaded Russia, were not the only ones caught short by the war in the east. Equally embarrassed was Assistant Secretary of State Adolf Berle.
 The brilliant MT. Berle, whe was Woodrow Wilson's chief adviser or Russia at the Versailles conference, has been about the bitterest Rus sian-hater in the State Department "a place which specialized in Rus sian-haters. Last summer wh n Under Secretary Sumner Welles was trying to keep alive a patchwork friendship with Russia, Berle was a died -the-wool pessimist.
 But the other day, talking to w. w. Lancaster, attorney for the Ma tional City Bank, Berle made revo- lutionary admission. Russia, he said, now could be considered the great hope of the world.

JULY PLANE FIGURES

Preliminary July figures for air plane production show another back ward month, the second since April.
 Total of military planes produced in July was l460-a drop of Is from the June all-time high of 1476. In May the figure slumped below the April total, which was the record up to then.
 Primary reason for the July de- cline, according to OPM experts, was a shortage of certain delicately cali brated flying instruments. The ex- perts say that actually more planes were turned out in July than June, but without instruments they could not be completed for delivery.
 Various reasons are given for this instrument bottleneck; shortage of labor. materials, new designs, lack of tools. The May slump was charged up to labor troubles. Whatever the reasons, U. s. aircraft production has yet to top the 15OO-a month mark so confidently predicted by .OPM moguls months ago.
 However, the experts now prophecy 1900 output this month-provided instrument deliveries come through They base this on the backlog of un- finished planes in July, plus an in- crease in plant production. But they admit, their guess may be wrong, as it has been in the past.

their eyebrows when he installed in Washington as his right-hand aide Thomas s e m m es Walmsley, one time Mayor of New Orleans and foe of Huey Long. Walmsley is charm ing and well l-intentioned, but what he doesn't know about the problems of civil defense is plenty.
 Also, when LaGuardia took over the agency he announced that state governors would be in charge of civil defense activities locally. This was good strategy to secure state cooperation. But then he turned around and started giving the as- signments to mayoral friends about the country, which has irked the governors. Some of them have sent hot protests to the White House.
 Meanwhile some members of a citizens Cooperation Committee that LaGuardia appointed are privately wondering what it is all about. Sev- eral weeks ago they were summoned to Washington for conference, staged in the White House and at tended by Mrs. Roosevelt The affair was surrounded with deep secrecy, but actually nothing took place and committee members departed for their homes completely mystified. The committee hasn't done a thing since.

tered population, never before has there been a ready market for quantity of beef 2 <
 Commissioner Heintzleman also pointed out that the need for an increased production of fresh milk offers of the best opportunities for Alaskan farmers today. One dairyman, near Anchorage, is milking 52 COWS and says he wishes he had three times that many No wonder, his bottled milk is selling for 25 cents quart.
 We know of dairymen in the states who a few short years ago. were milking large herds of cows, getting Is cents a pound for their butterfat and keeping the skim milk at home to feed calves or poultry. Prospects of market which would take all the milk they could produce and pay 25 cents a quart for it would have seemed like paradise to them. iw F
 Of course prices for dairy products in the states are much improved these days. Just the same, farmers there would probably look at you and shake their heads in an extremely doubtng gesture if you told them about "a country where land would grow good crops can be homesteaded and be cleared to large extent by merely dragging heavy beam through the low brush after the bushes have frozen in the winter and snapping them off close to the ground They would hardly be willing to believe that land which has been homesteaded and partially cleared may be obtained for $5 acre, and that there taxes to pay.
 Again with dairying, there is the problem of winter feeding which will stand little research certainly to determine which forage crops may be most economically and efficiently grown and which will produce the most milk in the pails when it is fed out during the winter.
 There's one item, of course, which farmers must consider In Alaska, they won't be able to find hired men who will work for $40 month and their board and room.
 That one feature that successful farms in the Territory must be of a type which be managed and operated by the of power machin- cry rather than hand labor and must be large-scale operations, with large enough output of produce to pay good wages to the farm hands needed

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs inclime,
 but do rot compel"
SATURDAY, AUGUST 16


 Benefic aspects rule today which seem to presage good news that stimulates plans for the coming week. It is promising sway for finishing work well begun.
 HEART AND HOME: Young members of the family should be on guard against accidents Under the spell of warm weather there may be an inclination to argue and even to quarrel. This is time to seek the healing influence of na- ture, although sudden, violent storms may be expected in cer- tain parts of the country. Girls should make much of Social con- tacts and carefree conditions, for the autumn is to bring many re- sponsibilities. Mothers and all heads of households should pre- pare for necessary economies.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Men who conduct small businesses will face innumerable difficulties lr despite general prosperity. Heads oof mod est enterprises will find, difficulty in obtaining materials or merchau- dise.- Shortage of man power will also hamper many. -Iahsmuch as war conditions are to continue for more than two years, and prob ably four, it will be wise to make readJustments or even to surrender shops or factories restricted in cap- ital. The centralization of industry will be more and more necessary as nations continue in conflict which destroys normal trade.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: It will be remembered that astrologers pre- dicted that any pact between Rus sia and Germany would lead to discord or conflict. The attitude of the United States, toward Rus sia now will be criticised by per- sons who do not read portents in the stars. According to seers known to be clever in their interpretations of signs in the heavens, Commun- ism is to undergo sweeping chang es that may culminate at the time of the next conjunction of Saturn and Mars in February 49
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR." s.: It has been often foretold that Hit Ter would die next summer, less than a year from this date, but he may survive long enough to cause loss of life among United States soldiers and sailors. It is prognosticated that we shall be engaged in actual conflict before many months, owing to treachery that will be typical of Hitler meth- ods. The stars presage final victory for Britain and her allies, but se- were reverses may be expected.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of sub- stantial advancement socially and financially. Dealing in lands, mines and antiques should bring profit. Children born on this day prob- ably will be lucky in love as well as in business. They Inaylsbe extra ordinarily gifted in the aarts an1 sciences, if wisely developed.

BEEF FOR THE BASES
When it's roundup time in Fairbanks, And the frost is on the mlIskep-"


 And the frost is on the muskeg-"
 Pardon the seeming frivoity. With apologies to the State of Texas and it's prairie sage couldn't help paraphrasing the old cowboy song after talking to Frank Hentzleman, Alaskas newly appointed Commissioner of Agriculture who has just returned here after months trip to defense base areas, cultural development as Alaskan farmers take ad- vantage of the markets for their products, created by the increasing populations of army and navy men and defense project workers.
 Hentzleman's suggestion that the Department of Agriculture might do well in looking into the pos sibities of developing beef cattle raising in the defense of the Territory certainly carries with it the romantic implication of jingling spurs, huge herds of "doggies" and hot branding irons.
 The romance of cattle camps may come to Alas ka along with the beef herds but right now, to several cattlemen of the western states who are interested in the prospects of ranging beef cattle the grasslands of the Interior. the idea is 100 percent a business venture.
 There are thousands of acres of open grass ranges in the Fairbanks neighborhood where beef may be grazed during summer months The period of winter feeding for the walking steak factories would not be any longer the average than it is in mountainous regions of Montana, Wyoming and Colorado, these stockmen believe. Besides, grain and forage crops can be grown, matured and har- vested In Interior Alaska This would mean a sup ply of cheap home grown feed for the winter months when the herd is housed in the home corral.
 With conditions ideal for beef raising, some may wonder why the industry wasn't developed in Alaska long ago. The answer, of course, is quite evident With Alaska's relatively small and scat

Button. Button
(The Cleveland Plain Dealer)

(The Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 The juvenile game of button, button, who's got the button" has become matter for international statesmanship
 The bulk of the worlds pearl shell for buttons comes from French Indo-China Since the war the natives have been so upset that they have not en- gagged in their customary occupation of diving for shells. There exists shortage so dangerous that solution must be found at once.
 Consider for moment what may happen if this problem is not solved. Japan, with the connivance of Vichy France which has already lost its shirt and doesn't need buttons, has gone button hunting in China If the Indo-Chnese do not start diving soon we will have no buttons in this country. With Japan in occupation we'll get no buttons either. The Japs need them because they close to losing their shirts after four years of war in China. And if we get no buttons how can we keep our shirts on? We will not only roll up shirt sleeves, likely to take shirts off altogether and wade into the situation in the Far East ss s.
 We all know the old ditty which relates how "a Kingdom was lost all for thes want of a horseshoe nail" That will remain nursery rhyme. For want of a button the Japanese may lose empire.

Man Hunt
Opens Rum
Tonight

ODid you know that Joan Ben
nett, who is starred with Walter
Pidgeon in the, goth Century
Fox production, MAN Hunt"
coming tonight to the Jewel
Theatre, has royal blood in her
veins?
Her maternal ancestors were
the famous Wood family of act
ors in England. Her great grand
father. William Wood, married
Sarah Campbell, direct de-
scendant of the Duke of Argyle,
who was one of Scotland's most
illustrious princes.
That she studied in France and
England? When only ten years
old she attended q finishing
school at Versailles and learned
to speak French like a native.
That she never wanted to be-
come an actress? Joan's ambition
was to open an interior decorat-
ing shop in New York with her
mother. Lack Of funds forced
her to 60 on the stage. She isn't
sorry. All of her interior decor
ating is confined to her own
home. Her favorite color, tur-
quoise blue, Is much in evidence
in her tastefully furnished home.
That in addition to being a
busy actress, Joan Bennett is one
of Hollywood's most gracious
and best-known hostesses? In
private life he is Mrs. Walter

er-husband's manifold social and
