Jim, it is reported, with remarkable memory for names and faces and a smiling greeting to anyone gets past the advance guard and into his inner office
 Farley makes no secret of the fact that his big gest ambition is to get control of the New York Yankee baseball club. He heads syndicate which is still dckering with the executors of the estate of Col Jake Ruppert for purchase of the Tanks.
 Ever since he played first base as youngster sports fan particularly baseball fan. He was a boxing commissioner in New York for eight years, too and every time a big fight is being staged in the metropolis you can see Jim's face at the ring side fi
 great Yankee fan, Farley's greatest hero is Babe Ruth and it's rumored that if Big Jim gets the Tanks under his control heama be able to coax the Bambino back Into the game. tIo
 What combination that would be at the Yam kee Stadium tunstiles. Farley proved his superb showmanshp many times when he was running the "big show" for FDR. With Ruth as headline at traction, he could be depended upon to pull a lot of publicity tricks out of the bag which would mean a lot of coin pouring through the wckets at ball parks where the Tanks play.
 Whether it's business, politics civic work, sports or office routine, Big Jim still packs activity into one day than any other individual Manhat- tan Island, his friends declare He hasn't retired. He has just found something else to do besides out to do will be done with lot of vgor and color

LESSONS FROM CRETE

There is an air-power vs. sea pow CT lesson for the United States in hitherto secret details of the battle of Crete which have now leaked out. British warships damaged by the Nazi airplane barrage over Crete are still being repaired in shipyards in Singapore and elsewhere in the Pa cific.
 The Warspite a 32,O0O-ton British battleship, was struck by torpedo in the bow, causing the gasoline stored there to catch fire Result was that the entire front of the ves- sel was melted ar blown away. Thanks to it's SC ed Water-tight compartments, the big battle-wagon stayed afloat. And with engines run ming in reverse, she managed to back to Alexandria, Egypt, 500 miles away.
 Then the stern of merchant ship was riveted on the bow of the War spite and it limped through the Suez Canal to Singapore. Singapore however, was so busy repairing other British ships damaged at Crete, that the Warspite went elsewhere.

erican planes and vessels in patrol ling with Cor accompanying British ShipS)
 Last week, however, a large ad- vertisement appeared in metropol- itan papers stating that the Secre- tary of the Navy would tell in Col Hers Weekly about how an American naval officer rode in the U S.-built navy patrol bomber which first sighted the Bismarck and contribut- ed to her sinking.
 And in Golfers, sure enough, Sec retary Knox neatly spills news which American newspapers, prior to the Knox regime, had considered public information, but which he has asked them to suppress.
 NOTE: Though the American pub lie has remained ignorant of the movements of U. s. vessels, foreign agents have a relatively easy way of checking their location. Shipping clerks in offices which send cigar cites and other supplies to warships always know their approximate whereabouts.

an organized drive to dry up the press, radio and the movies.
 First sign of this was the barring of Walter Winchell and other anti isolationist commentators by three Montana radio stations owned by friends of Senator Burt Wheeler.
 Next was the resolution introduced by isolationist Senators Nye and D. Worth Clark to investigate war pro- paganda" by the movies and radio. Maneuvered to Wheeler's Interstate Commerce Committee, the probe has actually been launched, though not approved by the Senate or money voted for it. Wheeler has simply held public hearings on the reso- lution = by a five-man committee packed with four isolationist cronies.
 The latest whip-cracking came from isolationist s tor Homer Bone of Washington.
 E. L. Groome comments on "The Military Spotlight" twice weekly over Station WWDC in the Capital. Last Friday night he gave mild criticism of Lindbergh.
 Five minutes later, Senator Bone telephoned the radio station, per- emptorily demanded the manager and cautically bawled him out for permitting Groome to make such statements over, the air. Bone de- clared it was an outrage and ord. cred that copy of the broadcast be on his desk without fail the follow ing morning. ssna ~
 Bone is a member of the Inter- state Commerce Committee. He also has an interest in a large Seattle radio station. ssi Copyright, 1941, by United Feature

War and the Weather
(The Cincinnati Enquirer)

(The Cincinnati Enquirer) Having had taste of real summer, residents of the Ohio Valley should not find it too difficult to visualize the immense influence of changing weather conditions upon the conduct of war Be- cause the hours of daylight are so long, and the effect of the Gulf Stream current is so salubrous, the British fleet is able to open an Arctic front against Germany in northern Norway and Finland. For another month six weeks this opportunity remains but after that the approach of very early winter will make end of active operations above the Arctic Circle.
 By the same token, Japan has ideal conditions, far weather is concerned, for an attack on the Far East Army of the Soviet Union in the mari time provinces Siberia But in the other prospec- tive theater of Japanese military operations, in Southern Indo- China and Thailand, the conditions are reversed A season of torrentia rains and con- tinuously cloudy skies is beginning in the neighbor- hood of the South China Sea. It is not the time when discreet military commander would launch major campaign.
 In North Africa the weather also has its direct and obvious effect on the course of hostilities Brit ish and Axis forces alike in position to launch new drives along the Lbyan- Egyptian frontier when hot weather struck six weeks ago. In the fierce heat of the Libyan desert the temperature inside armored vehicles goes as high as 40 degrees in the day time
 Nowhere does the weather impose more im- portant limitation military activities than in the Russian campaign The weather sets time limit for the Nazi high command. Winter operations would the great bulk of the Red Army is concentrated on those fronts. Consequently Germany must somehow achieve a decisive victory time before Octo- Der, or see the campaign stalled and the bulk of Germanys forces pinned to the easte1nl front until the spring of 1922. ,

BIG JIM KEEPS BUSY

Every once in while, one of the fellows around the Federal Building or at the City Hall in Juneau may be heard to muse aloud
 Wonder how Jim Farley is standing his retire. ment from the political circus?"
 That question was answered recently in the Knckerbocker News of Albany, N. Y. when one of that papers newshawks called the ex-postmaster and Democratic ring master at the big, plush car peted office where Jim is president of the Coca Cola Export Corporation.
 Actually" Farley told the newsmen, T don't think the return to private life has meant much change for me- except that I get to be with my family more often I've been with them more during the last eight months than during the entire eight years in Washington"
 As for demands on his time by the public Far ley seems to be just popular ever he in the days of the smoke couded conventions and flying trips to dedicate postoffices.
 T have plans to return to politics" Farley declared in the recent interview T have no politi- cal ambitions I'm more concerned now with the -being of our country and the hope that come through without getting involved in this war"
 Then he added:
 And too, I can't afford political ambitions"
 Most of Farley's friends firmly believe that he could be either Mayor of New York City or Governor of the state any time he wants to take off his coat and go to work at campaigning for those positions But they know too that neither of the jobs pay enough to allow Jim to recoup his lost fortunes.
 Those eight years of beating the political drum administered Big Jim financial beating. He tired with debts of more than $5000O The salaries of mayor or governor $25.O0O year in either case would not permit him to make up those losses be- cause of outside expense involved in holding such position.
 Meantime secretary and reception girl daily shield Jim from flood of callers with no legitimate for calling, and the minute he steps out of his office he is beseged by admirers, old friends, panhandlers and people who met him at political rally once and would like job He's the same old

move into Spain and Portugal, across the Strait of Gibraltar and down the Atlantic coast of French West Africa to Dakar.
 Thanks to the U. S., the British are well supplied with light 12-ton tanks. So far they have received about 500, together with spare parts. Only loss was one shipload of parts torpedoed last month in the South Atlantic.
 These light tanks have given a good account of themselves. They are superior to similar German and Italian types But mounting only 50-caliber guns and lightly armored, they are no match, as Greece and Libya have proved, for medium Axis tanks.
 The British have in operation only 160 of their own new type mediums, and these are being kept in England to resist invasion. New tank output by Britain's strained industry will continue to be small. England must depend on us to equip its rapidly expanding armored forces.
 That's why Beaverbfook is so hungrily cycling our mounting pro duction of medium tanks - fast, heavily armored, mounting 75-m. cannon, and the most powerful of their kind.
 By next month the new Chrysler plant in Detroit alone will be turn ing out 45O a month. Other firms will get into production in the fall and winter, and by next spring tanks will be rolling off assembly lines fast enough to equip two divisions a month.
 But in the meantime the big ques- ton is how to divide these now be- ing produced, between U. s. and British requirements. BeaverbrooK hopes to return with the answer ir favor of Britain.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline le
 but do not c0napeW
FRIDAY, AUGUST g q

BenerIc aspects rule the morn- ing hours, but later adverse plane tary influences are active. The stars today aid those who bear re- sponsibility and wield power.
 HEART AND HOME: This is a fortunate day for mental vision, helpful to those who seek to un- derstand the idiosyncracies of young members of the family. In this period of world chaos changes in modes and manners are fore shadowed in developing characters and individualities. Both girls and boys must be accorded great free dom of thought and action, for a new order of civilization will dawn after the barbaric reign of war This is an suspicious date for ex- ecutives, especially those employed in hospitals.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Scarcity of certain materials will cause con- cern in many lines of manufac- turing as plans for an autumn of general activity in commercial un- dertakings are put into operation Restrictions in the production and sale of various commodities will emphasize the meaning of war to Americans who have been this year enjoying luxuries denied to many nations Prosperity will spur gen. eroSity of citizens of the United States who will extend aid to in- creasing thousands of unfortunate war victims. |,
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Stabiliza- ton of wages and working condi-, tions will contribute to the smooth progress of industry. Strikes will diminish in number through, the autumn when awareness of real danger to the United States, will encourage unity of thoughtl and action in defense preparations. The cost of living will rise sharply be- fore winter, but much money will be spent for recreation. Theaters will profit. Publishers will discover that the people seek books which present facts and forecast future events.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S: Gradually the mystery regarding the motives of Rudolph Hess, Num- Der 3 Nazi who parachuted into Scotland, will be solved. Within a few weeks astrologers declare that Hitler will be the target for de- cisive action originating in infor- nation brought from Germany by Hess and delivered to British statesmen. This month is most critical for the Fuehrer who will discover that there is lack of har- mony among his closest associates.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of varied experiences combining good, and ill fortune. Unusual activities are in dicated. t.
 Children born on this day may have extraordinary careers. Obsta- cles will appear in the development of unusual talents which assure success If wisely directed.
