 Latin-Amercan governments have been cautious, and properly in taking their stand alongside the United States in open defiance of the Axis powers Without exception, they either small weak states and cannot afford to defy the possible future rulers of all Europe-unless persuaded that Britain and America ultimately will win the war.
 Nevertheless, there are many signs of satsfac- tory progress south of the Rio Grande Dispatches recently told of the seizure of hangars and equip ment of the German owned Aerea Sedta in Ecuador This eliminates German commercial aviation from all of Latin America Brazil.
 In Mexico the government has been cordial for several years and President Avila Camacho has just restated Mexicos solidarity with the United States in the most unequivocal terms in address to Congress. Even more encouraging is the gradual adjustment of Avila Camachos policies to disarm and win over the Sinarquistas, a radical, anti United States group which had threatened serious trouble.
 For quite some weeks now, Argentina has pro- vided gratifying news The l-named radical party overwhelmingly anti-Nazi in sentiment, has reas- serted it's supremacy in Argentine affairs has given strong support to the congressional investigation of subversive activities and has begun vigorous cam paign for policy of full cooperation with the Unit ed States At the time, German Argentine relations have become tense reflecting the new ori entation of the Buenos Aires Government
 There are some bad spots, notably in Brazil where German air lines have obtained additional concessions. But the rapid expansion Of American commercial aviation in Brazil, along with the de- velopment of a ferry system for American bombers through Northern Brazil, indicates that on balance we are not losing ground to the Axis powers in Brazil.
 The main reason for this gratifying trend through Latn-America is undoubtedly the steadily stronger policy of the American Government itself The more obviously the American people and gov ernment are determined to Germany finally defeated the more definitely our Hispanic neighbors will go along in full collaboration with

CoRCoRAN WANTS BACK

Meanwhile, Corcoran. now one or the busiest and most successful at torneys in Washington, is eager to get back into government harness again.
 He has his heart set on the vacant Solicitor Generalship and is mak- ing strenuous efforts to land the post.
 The President, personally very fond of the dynamic one-time braintruster, would gladly appoint Corcoran. But leaders have strong ly advised against it. They warned that Corcoran's confir m a ti n would precipitate furious fac tional fight among Democratic sen- ators that would be inadvisable at this time.
 But Corcoran, not discouraged, is making strenuous undercover e1- forts to win the prize.
 He admits there probably would be bitter row, but claims that in the end he would be approved. Some of the leaders do not deny this, but they contend that the need for party unity is so great that the battle should not be forced.

up the phone, inquired, "Yes, mother?"
 Mrs. Roosevelt was in a state of high excitement. There was some difficulty over a friend who had come to this country from Europe. He wanted to remain until he was certain it would be safe for him to return, but the State Depart ment was refusing to grant an ex- tension of his visa. Couldn't the President do something?
 I'm sorry, mother" he replied, but I'm afraid I can't help you on this"
 An excited buzz of conversation came through the phone. It might be dangerous for friend to return. Wasn't the President the highest official of the government and couldn't he do something?
 Roosevelt glanced helplessly at those about him. Then, with a patient smile, he again addressed the phone.
 Mother" he explained, its against the law
 This was one door even the Pres ident of the United States could not open for his mother or anybody.

Wales in 1889 showed a slight rise among male, civilians the rise between 1939 and 194Ot affected both males and females EAmong males the death rate 13 percent. from I'll per 100000 to STA; for females the tuberculosis death rate in 1940 was 547 per 100000 as against 509 for 1899, an increase of seven percent
 In Scotland the situation differed little from that of England and Wales The tuberculosis death rate increased IA percent in 1940, compared with 1889, and was the highest of any year since 1882
 An increase of the disease has quite probably occurred in Germany, although statistics from Hit ler's country and other Nazi occupied nations are not available. In France the Vchy government ports sharp increase in tubercular deaths.
 There's certainly no secret as to why the disease takes heavier toll of lives during wartime With people at nervous pitch of excitement and fear, and with food restricted by government quotas the physical resistance of whole nations of people is weakened. War also throws healthy persons in close physical contact with those who are infected with tuberculosis and around army bases, crowded factories and huge government works, it spreads like wildfire
 Let us hope that here in America in the rush to accomplish defense goals, and in the event of formal entrance into the war, we can do our job efficiently and at the time maintain all the advances have made in public health and sanitation, to keep tuberculosis and other diseases from making counter-attacks on the welfare of the nation.

WAR AND TUBERCULOSIS

As Alaskans become interested in a recent $250000 appropriation by Congress for a new native tuberculosis hospital word from the embattled tries of Europe shows that of the Four Horse men-Pestilence-is riding at full gallop and the White Plague is taking it's toll
 Tuberculosis is another wage of and we can expect an increase in the dread disease if this tion gets involved in statsticians point out. In Europe today even the countries where the anti tuberculosis campaign best organized during peace time suffering from its consumptve claws.
 During the first World War, none of the belli- gerent nations escaped an increase in tuberculosis and practically all the neutral countries of Europe suffered either increase in the disease or slow ing up of the pre-war rate of decline in tubercuar deaths
 Among English women mortality from pull monary tuberculosis rose steadily to a peak in 1918, when it was more than 25 percent higher than in 1913 In Germany the death rate from that disease among women rose slowly at first but after 1916 the increase quite rapid that by 1918 the rate was nearly 75 percent above that of 1913.
 Bad as these conditions were, the situation among other belgerent nations far worse. While in 1918 the tuberculosis death rate in France was reported as 20 percent higher than in 1914 it is believed to have been much greater than reports showed. In Italy the recorded deaths from tuber eulosis at least 40 percent higher in 1918 than in 1914 In Belgium the disease extremely bad, with the death rate from it in Brussels, for in stance, doubling during the war rising from TIT per 100000 in 1914 to 390 per 100000 in 1918
 The death rate from the plague rose 50 percent in Vienna in the early postwar years, as compared with the prewar rate Tn Belgrade, the tuberculosis death rate in 1918 reached the almost incredible figure of l,4OO for every 100000 of population.
 Even in the United States, slight rise in the tuberculosis death rate occurred during the period of our active participation in the World War.
 Now history begins to repeat itself.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compep
WEDNESDAY,. SEPTEMBER IT

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER IT
 Adverse planetary aspects rule today. Routine matters should gain attention. Women should be es- pecially cautious in their impor- tant dealings, mercantile or fin ancial
 HEART AND HOME: Girls may find this date disappointing, since 1t is forbidding for romance. Young men probably will be critical and self-centered, afraid of responsi- bility and determined to retain their freedom from love entangle- ments. Those in uniform may be restive under restraint and indif- ferent to the charms of young wo- men. Concentration upon practi- cal tasks is recommended. The day of the happy social butterfly is ending and work now should be sought by all able-bodied wo- men.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: In labor atories and canning centers de- fense preparations will attain re- markable results this autumn. Chemists and those who preserve foods will contribute marvelously to war needs. Merchants and man ufacturers are to produce novel supplies for Army, naval and avia- tion forces. Exports of conoentrat- ed foods will reach amazing bulk and will save thousands of lives in Europe and Asia. Many unusual industries will supplement those long essential to the well-being of humanity
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Systematic contributions to all branches of relief should be part of every bud- get. Curtailment of luxury buying should be practiced by persons of every class. Cigarette smokers in civil life have chance to take on a soldier partner in smokes" The seers stress the urgency of early realization of the changes that actual shooting war" will bring to the Western Hemisphere Foresight means much for citi- zens of the United States. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S: There is a sign read as indicating that President Roosevelt will checkmate Japan by diplomacy and economic means and then by force. Nature is to cooperate with na- tions hostile to Japan, for there Is forecast of severe earthquakes, extraordinary storms, floods and other misfortunes for the people now ruled by their militaristic government. Much illness among the underfed civilians is prognosti- cated. Censorship will hide many facts which presage final defeat.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of financial gains through business deals of many sorts. Domestic infelicity may be due to extravaganza on the part of the family. Children born on this day prob- ably will be brilliant in mind and charming in personality. Tempta- tion to indulge in luxury and to stress costly attire is indicated.

DRAFT DIRECTOR
 ISSUES WARNING
 TO OLDER MEN
Reqistrants Over 28 Years
 Must Fill Out Draft .s Board Forms

Selective Service registrants who are more than 28 years of age nevertheless must fill out question naires and comply with orders of their local draft boards, John l.. Mccormick, Territorial Director of Selective Service, warned today.
 Although the amendment to the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 recently adopted by Con gress precludes induction of men who were 28 or older on July l, 1941, these registrants still will be liable to penalties if they do not fill out their questionnaires.
 When it becomes evident that such registrants are more than 28, their boards will place them in the proper deferred classification.

THE PRESIDENTS MOTHER

Sara Delano Roosevelt thought the man to whom she proudly re- ferred to as My son, the President" was capable of doing anything he set his mind to; and the President would have done anything he could to satisfy her wishes.
 But one favor he could not grant. despite his high office. Because of its intimate character, the story was kept secret by the few who knew it, but now that the gracious mistress of Hyde Park has passed on, it can be told.
 During the Czechoslovak crisis early in 1889, the President was conferring with advisers when a secretary interrupted with word that flis mother was calling from New York. The President picked

SNOW FLOWS ALREADY

Donald Nelson was showered with congratulatory messages on his de- served elevation to OPM Priorities chief, but one message almost floored him It came from Nelson's close friend, James s. Adams, chief of the OPM automobile, railroad and agricultural equipment section.
 Tn congratulating you on your new job" wrote Adams, I'm send ing along a little reminder of one of. the things you will be up against. Read the enclosed telegram which I received this morning"
 From the window in Nelson s fifth-floor office white-clad figures could be seen playing tennis under hot sun on public courts across the street. The temperature hoy cred in the low sos. A shirt-cleeyed policeman on the street corner mopped his steaming brow. But the telegram in Nelson's hand, from a Philadelphia machinery distribu- tor. read:
 when are you going to make it possible for ire to get some snow blows? I would a damned sight rather be bombed by Hitler than starved out by priorities.

OPM steel expert on leave from the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co.,, can tell you all about the madden ing tortures of red tape. He got his initiation in one of the elevators of the block-long Social Security Building, where the OPM offices are located.
 In the recent OPM reshuffle Bryant'S office was moved from the 4th to the 2nd floor. In the confusion, his typewriter was over looked and to save time he picked up the machine, carried it to the nearest battery of elevators and boarded the first car going down. The car started but suddenly stop ped, midway between the 4th and 3rd floors.
 What are you doing with that machine?" demanded the buxom fe- male operator.
 I'm taking it to my new office, D said Bryant Whereupon the op- orator gave him sizzling dressing down for violating rules in not us- ing a freight elevator at the oppo- site end of. the building, and wound up by jerking the car back to the 4th floor and ordering Bryant to get off.
 Bryant dio not move. Fixing the hefty operator with an icy eye he said, Now you stop this foolishness You take me to the 2nd floor and make it snappy.
 The operator did.

Henderson Urges Move.
The question of forming COM

the committee was suggested by
Leon Henderson, Federal price ad-
ministrator, who advised the con-
ferees that Joseph L. Overlook, as
sistant deputy priorities director,
had been selected to represent Don
aid Nelson, priorities chief, at the
meeting.
In calling the conference, Mayor
Dress said practically every city in
the country is directly and seriously

or delay delivery of materials to
non-defense industries" He as
