OBJECTIvELY PREJUDICED

Senator Burt Wheeler continues to give ironic testimony of his own fair-mindedness in his clam or for freedom of speech and press.
 His first demonstration was wher he attacked Philadelphia radio station for alleged refusal to carry Lindbergh speech, then refused to lift finger when three Mon- tana stations Operated by Wheeler pals) barred Walter Winchell and other anti-isolationist commenta- tors from the air
 Next display also came in Wheel CTS home state. Ex-Governor John Erickson presided at an anti-isola- tionist meeting addressed by fiery Senator Claude Pepper of Florida. Shortly thereafter Erickson was fired from a $250-a-month state job by Governor Sam Ford, iso- lationist crony of Wheeler.
 Wheeler's latest demonstration of fair play was in the Senate. Oppo- sition Senators Nye of North kota and D. Worth Clark of Idaho introduced a resolution for a probe of war propaganda" by the movies and radio. The reso- lution was referred to the Inter- state Commerce Committee, headed by Wheeler.
 Whereupon, although the Senate had not approved the investigation or voted money for it, Wheeler ap- pointed subcommittee to conduct public hearings ito get at the bot

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline eli
 but do rot c0mpe"
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13

DcleliC aSpcCCS uOIllIldUe IOudy Mars continues in the most threat ening mien, but other planets promise much for this date which is most fortunate for those who buy and sell. t.ff
 HEART AND HOME: Women will find this fortunate configuration under which to push whatever is of prime importance to them. It is an suspicious date for those who seek positions of prominence. Hon. ors will come to club leaders and those engaged in national defense activities. It is a most favorable time for romance. The young and those not so young will be sought in marriage. Under the strain and stress of war men and women in variably seek companionship. This is to be 8 banner year for love af- fairs, the seers prophecy.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Economies and foresight will mark the vast buying by the United States goy- ernment which will set good ex- ample to private trade. Leaders ,in big business will serve in Wash ington by applying their knowledge for the safeguarding of public ex- penditures. The autumn will begin with confidence that inspires much enterprise in the United States. Home building will be encouraged and housing will be widely disr cussed. The welfare of under -priyi- legged Americans will be of wide concern.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Freezing of funds of foreign powers belonging to the Axis will be discussed in re- lation to international banking problems of the future. Banks and banking will be much in the pub- lie consciousness as autumn busi- ness shows seasonal stimulation. The generous spending of money for necessaries is encouraged by the seers who long have counceled preparation for future shortages in essential manufactures of woolen goods and other materials used in clothing.
 INTERNATIONAL A FAIR s: Daily broadcasts from world capi- tals will bring close to the Ameri- can public the numerous ramifica- tions of the world war and serve the purpose of emphasizing the need of protection. Again shipping is to focus the attention of ene- mics anxious to goad the United States into a declaration of war. Japan will play hot and cold in her relations with us and must be watched with even more distrust than in the past. The stars pres- age earthquakes and other misfcts tunes for the Empire.
 Persons whose birthdate 1t Is have the augury of advancement and substantial gain. Travel or va cations will be diversions of the autumn.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be industrious as well as talented. They may be emotional and quick-tempered. Wise discipline will assure successful careers.

 BRITISH PURCHASER
 Until February of this year, the building on the southwest corner of Eighteenth and K Sts., NV, was an apartment house known as the Bradford. Today, the apart ment dwellers have gone, and the building is teeming with the &C., tivities of the British Purchasing Commission.
 From an office on the top floor, Sir Give Baillieu presides over the activities of the "B.P.C." which includes, under the British Supply Council, the Air Mission, the Ship ping Mission, the Food Mission, and the Naval Technical Mission.
 Sir Give does not live up to the Yankee conception of titled Brit ish gentleman. There is nothing affected about him, and no mon- ocle in the eye. He moves with a tempo we like to call American, and his speech is rapid and direct.

 Such a canal would leave Singa- pores giant guns and expensive naval bases guarding an out-of- date sea highway, almost as un- importent as the Straits of Ma gellan after the Panama Canal was built.

| Words of Cheer

| By DR.. Kinder

DR.. Hans Kinder, conductor OF
the National Symphony Orchestra
yesterday added words of encour-
agement to those of countless other
persons who have spoken over
short wave radio station every day
since September to the conquered
people of Norway.
Let me say" the conductor de-
clared, Just this to you as an Amer
ican of Dutch birth and as a mu-
sician: we are with you body and
soul-if necessary to the bitter end;
but, if God will, to victory.
How many Norwegians, If any,
heard DR.. Kinder yesterday, no one
can say. 1t is known that the
broadcasts, which go out both IN
English and Norwegian from the
powerful short station WRUL
in Boston, are heard in Sweden and
Finland, but whether Norweglans
are listening in
I'VE just don't talk about that"
a spokesman at the Norwegian En-
bassy said today.
1t is the belief that Norwegians
by themselves can listen to short
wave programs, but not in groups.
Yet even that is not certain, for
their government in exile, which
has thus turned to the radio to
speak to its people, cannot receive
news from them. The programs,
one-half hour in length, are timed
to arrive in Norway close to bed
time, $50 pm.
