The present flareup against
National Chairman Ed Flynn's
industry has been provoked by
letter which Treasurer Oliver
Quayle sent recently TO the
eminent gentlemen who bought
500 tickets to last February's
Jackson Day dinner. The BAN
quet never was held because the
president was absent from
Washington on the appointed
day.
The Democratic organizations
throughout the country went
ahead with their affairs, and
listened to a radio address by
+. ID. r., but the Washington
party was called Off. No money
was returned to the purchasers
of 800 tickets. nor did they get
word about the disposition of
the funds until few days ago.
Then they received this note
from Mr.. ouayle:
May l take this opportunity
TO advise you that when the
next jackson Day dinner il held
in Washington. you will be in
vited to attend because OF your
500 contribution this year.
Many, many thanks for your
loyal cooperation" Meanwhile
the committee keeps or spends
the money, although it was paid
over the numerous high officials
who are barred from such out
right contributions under the
Hatch act.
II il believed that the belated
Quayle missive exonerates them.
at least technically. of any viola
ton OF the Clean Politics law.
Oddly. those who bought tickets
on the instsllment play - $50
down and $50 later-are getting
no invitation to next years
dinner.

TUESDAY, july 20

Mingled good and evil plane
tary influences are discerned in
the horoscope for today. The
morning hours are promising for
men who direct important pro-
jects. The evening is unfortu-
nate.
Heart and Home: Anxiety and
suspense are indicated for today
wherever young members OF the
family are absent, whether in
government service or on vaca-
ton tours. A sense of brooding
changes in American life may
be depressing. but there Is a
good sign for the remaining
weeks of summer which should
be wisely employed in providing
family reunions and entertain
ments for old friends. II Is con-
fidently forecast by the seers
that through this terrible period
Of war and destruction there
will be produced spiritual and
intellectual consciousness which
will redeem humanity.
Business Affairs: Far-seeing
men and women will make the
best Of existing prosperity and
will prepare TO be efficient in
the readjustments which must
follow the second world war.
Although the nation will carry
heavy indebtedness there are
prospects of amazing good for
tune for citizens OF the United
States which will lead in the
restoration of the worlds waste
In ruined cities, paralyzed indus
tries and sterile agriculture.
National Issues: According to
a famous astrologer the chief
peril for America is indicated
by the opposition of Neptune and
the Sun in every sun cycle chart
until 1e<p. While this causes
the prediction that all foreign
countries will suffer through
chaotic conditions. II is read as
warning Of danger in the United
States through fifth columnists
who will work on a scale so far
reaching and 80 insidious as TO
constitute a grave menace.
Persons whose birthdate II is
have the augury OF a year of
real progress. Many ambitions
will be realized by both men
and women who will enjoy in
creased incomes.
Children born on this day
probably will be mentally bril-
liant. strong in character and
able to make successful careers.
