Tense work will be the primary
reason for the declaration. The
president has sufficient peace
time power to make organized
labor behave, but he hesitates
to use IL against his old allies.
He prefers TO increase the work

wages and TO prohibit strikes as
a war measure.
The president also will warn
industry and consumers that ne

Manufacturers will have to ae-

mere 1000 vessels that way. To
that impressive armada he add
ed 1000 ships especially built for
the program, and also his big
navy.
Mooring them all side to side,
they stretched all the way across
the Bay Of Naples -5la miles.
In order to build roadway
atop them, first they had to be
planked over To do that, the
high poop and figurehesd of
each vessel had to be chopped
off. Tamped dirt on the planks
made splendid highway.
But that was just the start.
Caligula ordered a row of shops
be built, stated and stocked on
each side of the whole street"
within 10 days.
More ships were captured. or
otherwise obtained. and these
were moored in groups to form
five islands at intervals along
the way. Villages complete with
trees. water, houses and people
were installed thereon.
Caligula then dolled himself
up in the fanciest uniforms and
robes and jewels and stuff he
could think of. After making a
sacrifice to Neptune and another
to Envy lin case any of the gods
should become JEALOUSY he climb
ed aboard a nag and rode across
the bay forthwith, b'gadi
But that was just the old
warm-up. An army of more than
10000 soldiers followed him
across with much pomp and
ecermony. They stayed in the
town OF Puteoli for a while. and
then the parade back COM
menced.
Caligula in a gold chariot:
wagon-train of stuff plundered
from homes; hundreds OF slaves
in chains; hundreds of his friends
riding in chariots; the army;
some 100000 townspeople in
holiday costume and full of
hoopla.
After he reached the opposite
shore again, he went in his pri-
vate barge TO the middle artifi-
cial island. There he distributed
two gold pieces to each soldier
and five silver pieces to each
citizen. However, he ran out of
coins before everybody got
share, so he told the have-nots
to take what they could from the
have-gots. Thus he enjoyed
nice impromptu riot.
Then everybody got good and
drunk. Than which party there
never was a whicher in all his
story
Caligula devoted the night to
pushing people off the bridge
and islands. About 800 people
were drowned that way, but they
were only DRINKS. old folks or
children, so it didn't really make
much difference.
And then Caligula decided that
a nice naval battle would be lust
the thing to top off the spree.
Rallying his private squadron
of warships, he played hob with
one of the islands. His gallevs
rammed the moored vessels one
after another. People screamed
for their life. In the grand finale
assault. the whole shebang was
sunk with all hands. Some fun.
Unable to dream up any other
stunts. Caligula had the remain

pair and order-then rode across
the Bay Of Naples on his horse
once more for good measure.

Bear by the Tail


 We are afraid United States immigration author ities grabbed bear by the tail when they arrested and began deportation proceedings against Jan Val tin, author of the best-seler, Out of the Night, His is one of those cases we definitely would not like to have to decide.
 On the one hand, it can be argued quite force fully that to let who apparently is guilty of illegal entry get away with it, especially when he probably came here in the first place for no good purpose, would be setting bad example. Moreover, it would unfair to all those thousands who have slipped into the country for other reason than that they liked very much and wanted to live peacefully in a land of freedom.
 On the other hand, Valtn gives every evidence of having reformed. If one-ffth of what he tells us in his book about Communist and Nazi under ground tactics is true, he has done the country a service in telling it. In fact, he probably has done more to put guard against fifth column sts than that patriotic citizen Congressman Dies It must also be considered that to deport him to his native Germany would amount to death sentence
 Nor can escape wondering whether the same government which has for so long avoided doing anything about ridding the country of the malevo- lent influence of Harry Bridges would be consistent if it worried too much about one who is now so harmless Jan Vatin

A Note on "Chivalry"
(New York Times)

Three German fliers have escaped from Cana dian internment camps into this country. One oi them, Baron Franz von Werra, is out on bail. Two of them, Lieutenants Heinz Rottman and Bernhard Gohlke, have been ordered deported to Canada Ger many has appealed the through the consulate il, this city. In Berlin an authorized spokesman" de- nounced the action of the immigration officials in strong terms. If this is true, he declared it IS hardly sign of chivary in country which delights to call itself the land of the free'
 "Chivalry" would no doubt require that we give Messrs von Werra, Rottman and Gohlke a bunch of roses apiece and ticket back to Berlin via Tokyo vladvostok and Moscow. They could then resume their butchery of British civilians from the air If this is chivalry, we lack it. If permit any es- capped German airmen to strut our streets while we are bending every effort and making heavy sacri- fices to help Britain shoot their comrades down we are far more simple minded than even Berlin car believe us to be.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline "
 but do not c0m,pep
SATURDAY, APRIL 19

Adverse aspects are strongly dom- inant under this planetary govern ment. There is an evil sign for labor which may cause serious clashes in oenters of government work.
 Heart and Home: Women should pursue tasks to which they are &C., customed while this configuration prevails. All the household arts will be revived, and again knitting and weaving will engage attention. Need of clothing for war victims will re- suit in movement to supply ward robes, carefully assembled for srec- ial cases. Organization of the women of the United States will become SC exact that duplication and omis- sion will be prevented.
 Business Affairs: Labor, is subject to sinister plan tary influences which bode ill for industry. Subvers- i've ideas will be sown among work CTS by fifth columnists and by mud dled thinkers. Despite Obstacles, manufacturers are to accomplish wonders. According to the seers, perils lie among the intelligentsia in colleges and universities, Youth movements will give unwilling en- couragement to our enemies.
 National Issues: Erasure of party lines will be advocated as war clouds cast larger shadows upon the Western Hemisphere. Unity of purpose will be apparent next sum- mer as legislators have cause for speedy action relating to defense. Leaders, young and old, will develop in all parts of the country In civilian life there will be the most unselfish service. There is an omen that seems to warn that overwork and worry will curtail distinguished careers of American statesmen.
 International Affairs. There is a sign read as presaging a serious setback for Britain with resultant effect upon neutral peoples. It will arouse increased intensity of effort n every branch of the British war service. The stars presage period of extraordinary conflict in which the Nazis will resort to every hor- rible device known to them, but there is to be quick reaction and ultimate victory for Britain.
 Persons whose birthdate it is may have annoyances and losses in the coming year Treachery is indicated in certain financial agen- cies, but there will be eventual gain and much happiness. e 4
 Children born on this day proo- ably will be highstrung and talent ed. They should be fortunate if they adhere to conservative ideas.
