Willkie Walks With Douglas
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Deaer)

 We must fight for our country and forget all differences. There be but two parties-the party of patriots and the party of traitors. We belong to the first"
 So spoke Stephen A. Douglas as the first guns were fired in the Civil War, the Senator Doug las who had long been the foremost opponent of Abraham Lincoln, the Senator Douglas who had been defeated for the presidency but few months before by Lincoln.
 When Wendell Wikie the other day went to the White House to throw his support behind the Presi- dent in hour of need he following in the footsteps of Senator Douglas.
 On Sunday morning, April IA, 1861, the news of the fall of Fort Sumter reached Washington, and at momentous cabinet meeting Lincoln read proca- nation calling into service 75000 men, It was an anxious moment What would be the reaction of the north? Could the government count upon the support of those who demanded peace at any cost?
 George Ashmun of Massachusetts, friend of Lin- coin and of Douglas, called upon the Senator on Sunday evening and urged that Douglas go to Lin coin with advice and announcement of support. Douglas hesitated doubtng that the President want ed his advice. Mrs. Douglas joined in Ashmuns
 
 met with Lincoln at the White House
 short time later at the request of Lincoln, Senator Douglas set out on a tour of the northern border states to rally the people behind Lincolns policy of preserving the Union. Douglas stopped at Belaire, Ohio and speech he delivered there to men of Ohio and men of western Virginia had much to do with winning West Virginia for the Union.
 It would be wrong to intimate that Douglas rallied his entire party to the Presidents support the rias and tribuations of the great emancipator are 100 well known to need recalling It must be remembered, however, that Douglas career came to an end in June following the outbreak of the war. That ne gave great comfort and through it strength to Lincoln cannot be denied. What he might have accomplished to tighten the Presidents burdens had he lived, only guess.
 AS Willke walks with Douglas, may the leaders of our nation keep before them the historic words of 1861:

 But there is tbia comfort Lach day the sun Iises little earlier and sets lite later each day il has more power. If you look carefully the shadows at noon you VII see they grow shorter.
 This trumphM return of Inc is the great joy ol tne year Its march northward is slow But nothing halts it.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY Is

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10
 Benefic aspects dominate today It is date most fortunate for women who should push all their personal interests. Men have the portent of increasing business and professional activity.
 Heart and Home Under this configuration whatever pertains to the heart is well directed The stars presage domestic harmony and happiness. Girls may expect joyful reunions with fiances and boy friends. Many marriage engage ments are forecast. This is a lucky wedding date, although it does not promise much wealth as a balance for love. As the stars promise eco- homie partnership in marriage ami equal responsibility regarding sup port of the family, the bridegroom bank account may not be so im portant as it has been in the past.
 Business Affairs Many malad- justments in carrying out govern ment contracts are forecast, but they will be overcome within short time. Trade will continue brisk and prosperity widespread. The seers advise careful planning for the future when there must bc a financial reaction after tn c flood of money poured out for na- tional defense. It is well to assure @ widened distribution of indus trial plants and to work toward self-sustaining activities in small communities.
 National Issues: Subversive in- fluences in labor organizations will be evident through an unfortunate episode which may have wide per- cussions. Warning is given by those who read the stars that secret agencies influence legislators and government employees as well as members of unions. There is a sign which seems to indicate cause TOT desperate speed in turning ont airplanes and other necessities needed for adequate national de- fense.
 International Affairs Threats will be made against the United States and hostile gestures will be nu- merous as aid for the British gains impetus and volume, but the tide is to turn strongly in favor of the democracies. The second World War will assume new phases and it may be extended far beyond this year, but victory for liberty and justice is prognosticated. A long pull and a hard one is presaged, but the struggle will prove the strength of free peoples.
 Persons whose birthdate it } is have the augury of year of good fortune and domestic happiness Romance should be avoided by those past youth.
 Children born on this day will be ambitious and intuitive. They should have good reasoning powers which they may forget to use wher they fall in love.

Able, hard-hitting Donald Nelson. whom Roosevelt named to head the Procurement Division of the OPM, is determined to have real authority 10 cut traditional Army and Navy red-tape and get defense supplies. IL the plan of oreanizati ton he has submitted for his division, Nelson politely but firmly insists upon com rlete control over al major military purchase.
 This was quite shock to Army ard Navy brass-hats. who on several occasions have blandly disregcrded both White House and Defense Com mission "directfyes" or basic policy in granting contracts. For example. the Ford orders, awarded over the vehement protest of Commissioner Sidney Hillman.
 Nelson proposes to put a stop to this by centering all contract super vision in his Procurement Division.
 Under his plan the Army and Navy would determine what sup plies, arms and equipment they needed, and he would do the order ing-instead of letting the brass nats dish out the contracts as they saw fit. Furthermore, Nelson would have the last word on price, time of delivery, quantity to be ordered, and specifications.
 This businesslike plan may seem logical enough to private business men, but it is a radical innovation in the military services-particularly in the Army, where buying is scat tered among number of offices.

While we in this country have been watching the ESCAPE feud Great Britain and Vichy have been waging little music battle of their own
 It started when the British Minister of Informa- tcn, Alfred Duff Cooper claimed that the British anthem God Save the King was sung in Paris during the Armstice Day proBritish demonstrations The Vichy Government through "an authorized source" replied that it wasn't the British anthem that was sung, but old French song written for King Louis XIV-that the British had swiped the tune for their anthem
 With certain amount of reserve the British replied that it was almost certain" that the words and music of the anthem were written by Henry Carey, English poet and musician about 1740
 The Vchy Government didn't answer that one; 1t was too busy toning down the French anthem the Marseilaise. It has forbidden the singing of two verses sounding too contemporary-'Ty against us" and "The bloody flag is lifted'
