HOROSCOPE "The stdrs 5ncline
 bat do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12
 Benefic aspects rule this day which should be fortunate for both business and professional people. , Industry is under a fortunate di- rection of the stars. Workers should cooperate heartily with their em- ployers.
 Heart and Home: Women are subject to the most stimulating and inspiring planetary influences. They should exert their best energies in carrying out unselfish plans. This is a day for recognition of ability among girls and encouragement in the scientific development of their talents. Fame is to come to many who give their services to the na- tion. Growth of power through re- ligious trends of thought is fore cast. The evening should be em- ployed in home interests, for there is a portent threatening the suc- cess of social or public appear anceS. ..
 Business Affairs: Prosperity will encourage private enterprise as the effects of government spending are evident, but the trend will be most ly toward large projects Investors will profit by mergers or through government orders. While this na- tion is enjoying all possible bene fits it must be remembered that the economic revolution is pro- crossing and that its effect will be l felt by 1943, when there should ] be a cessation of world conflict. National Issues: Through fifth column activities race conscious ness will be aroused in the armed | forces. Negro citizens may suffer through deliberate misinterpreta- tion of national aims in the pre- paredness program, but the stars promise them high honors for ne- roic service. Subtle methods will be used secretly in arousing antagon- isms and encouraging prejudices. Absolute unity must be attained m loyalty to the foreign policy Of the United States.
 International Affairs: Reverses or serious losses may be expected by the British forces, but they will be of temporary effect. The stars rltsage ultimate victory for the democratic form of government after months of severe conflict and horrible waste of life and property. The solar ingress into Aries this month for the spring quarter is encouraging in it's aspects. It seems to presage the discussion of reace terms before the end of the vcur. But appeasement in any form is of evil portent.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augrry of year of good fortune which brings new inter ests and plenty of excitement. Love affairs will flourish.
 Children born on this day may be extraordinarily fortunate, all though they may be originalH and independent to the point of ec- centricity.

ORATOR vANDENBERG

Genial Senator Arthur Vanden- berg is one of the most effective orators in the Senate. His mind is alert, and he has command of phrases that makes the galleries lean forward to hear him.
 When he had delivered his major effort against the lease-lend bill, he retired to the cloak room, lit cigar, and leaned back in an upholstered chair One of his colleagues con- graduated him on the speech.
 With a mischievous twinkle, Van henberg replied, T could have de- liyered just as strong a speech on the other side"
 Senatorial loungers looked up. and Vandenberg added: T could recite 50 unanswerable reasons why the bill should be passed"

 However, spring in the Balkans has come early this year-in con- trast to the very severe winter last year. So the spring rains may fin ish early. Thus British Greek fate depends in part on the weather.

 DO the brlJish seized the film and, for good measure, seized all Parlin's other belongings as well.
 That evening, Harry Hopkins din- ed with the Governor of Trinidad. During dinner the Governor was called to the telephone and told what had been found in the Parlin baggage. Returning to the dinner table, the Governor asked Hopkins if he knew this man Parlin.
 "Yes," said Hopkins, "he is a law yer of high standing in New York, and the employer of Franklin Roose- welt, Junior"
 Next morning, when Parlin ap- peared at the air station, expecting to find his luggage confiscated, he learned instead that everything was. being returned to him with apologize and best wishes for safe journey.
 AMERICA FIRST BROADCASTS
 In its hectic, last-minute efforts to block passage of the lend-lease bill, the America First Committee crashed head-on into the same ob- stacle that silenced the radio voice of Father Caughlin the National Association of Broadcasters Code.
 There was no publicity about it, but big radio stations have quietly been refusing to broadcast record ings of speeches by isolationist lead- CTS, which the committee has been sending out, on the ground that their use conflicts with the code.
 Such recordings, under the code. have been interpreted as "contro- versial," which means CD that they must be given free time on the air, and CD that an equal amount of time must be accorded to Lend Lease proponents by stations airing the anti speeches.
 Big radio stations now broadcast so much "deadhead" national de- fense material-Army and Navy re- cruiting drives. special Army camp programs, speeches by defense of- ficials, and so on-that they can't afford much additional free time for long -winded debates on aid to Britain.
 Result is that the America First Committee in it's home e-stretch drive had to depend largely on the smaller stations, unaffiliated with the NAB. MERRY-GO-ROUN
