The Duce's Troubles
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 The fact of widespread disaffection and highly organized sabotage in Italy is not surprising. The officials Rome There has been active, determined opposition to the Fascist regime from it's inaugura tioh in 1922, although it has never reached the dimensions of revolt.
 The dsaffection undoubtedly became much worse from the summer of 1s4O, when Mussolini took his people into they did not want, had chance to profit from, and had not been led to anticipate
 According to the Rome statement, 60 conspra- tors have been put trial and dozen ringleaders are still at large. Many others, apparently, were involved The work of this ring includes the bomb- ing of munitions plants and railways, with heavy losses of life and property. The whole picture is of large-scale dsconten yelling up in shrewdly organized sabotage.
 This disclosure of the Duces troubles is of special interest because of the recent shift in British sra tegy. In the last month, it has become clear that London deliberately chose to pass up the chance to pound German industrial centers hard this winter prefering to concentrate British striking power the weaker of the Axis states
 Therefore the Lbyan campaign undertaken, and the in the Mediterranean redoubled. If there is to be outright attack on the Continent in the next six eight months it seems certain to be against Italy. Evidence of serious disaffecton inside the Duces domain tends to justify the decision taken by British strategists.

 The joking manner in which Swedish paper yesterday referred to the German retreat in Russia advance on Berlin and predicted that Nazi soldiers might be home for Christmas" may have been bit exaggerated but there is reason to see in the present allied victories signs that the turning point in the European war may have just been passed.
 We have too much treachery the part of Hitler's legions the other hand, not to sus- pect that Adolf may have an up his sleeve. Things look rosy for the allied cause but the war is still far from and of the democracies are in no position to assume that any sort of crucial victory has been until the Axis would-be world dictators have been completely smashed

SENATE RESOLUTION

First thing the President did when he retired to Speaker Ray burns office, following his historic message asking Congress to declare war on Japan, was to ask for a drink of water.
 A pitcher of ice water had been placed on the stand of the House well" from which he delivered the message, but in the gripping excitement of the occasion the President overlooked it.
 Second thing the President did was to relieve the tension with a wisecrack at the expense of the Senate committee which escorted him to and from the House cham Der. The group consisted of Demo- cratic Leader Alben Barkley Of Kentucky, Republican Leader Charles McNary of Oregon, and spry, 83-year-old Carter Glass Of Virginia.
 Having escorted the President out of the House chamber, they fidget- ed to return to the Senate to take up the war resolution. Finally, Barkley explained:
 MT. President, we're sorry, but we'll have to go. Our colleagues are waiting in the Senate and WE would like to join them"

WHEN A TELLER NEEDS A FRIEND

Sportsmen of Southeast Alaska being called upon these days to display real sporting instinct.
 The deer of this area, which during the hunting season seemed well able to take of themselves in most instances are really in need of aid now.
 The enemy of the little animals has been snow Deep snow which has fallen early in the winter and to depth not experienced during the past several years has driven many of the deer out of the woods, onto beaches around islands and along the mainland
 But the same beaches which offer them footing and a chance to search for food without flounderng in snowdrifts in many proving to be death traps After breaking through the drifts to the beach, the deer find themselves caught between the incoming tide and sheer walls of packed at high tide mark Gravity helped them scramble down to the beach, but sharp hooves merely chip off the snow bank and offer aid in climbing back into the woods.
 Despite any aid which be given, hundreds of deer will die during the winter, officials of the Alaska Game Commission and the Forest Service believe. But they do suggest two methods by which hunters may help save the lives of deer during the present conditions
 One of these aids would be the breaking down of the snow wall around the high tide mark, the deer can get from the beaches to the timber.
 And in sections where deer are unable to obtain and lichen-grown hemlocks in areas where deer congregate. Only scrub trees full of limbs should be cut.

Ain't Civilization Grand?
tPhiladelphia Recordl

Imagine walking 400 miles to a movie show.
 Imagine walking out the show-because there kissing scenes.
 Honest folks, it's true. At least United Press dispatch from Darwin, Australia says so. It all started when of the Arnheim natives was sent to jail for spearng a tribal chief. From the jail window the native could the movie signs and wondered why so many people went there
 Released, the police hurried him out of town before he could go to the movies. But back in the home country he told his tribe of the wonders beyond those lights, and the tribe decided to investigate. It took 40 days to make the journey. And then
 Well, after couple of love scenes. they all walked out, before the show was finished It seems osculation is taboo So much so, regular native moviegoers turn flashlights during kissing scenes rather than miss movie shows entirely.
 Think of that walk home Then ask yourself

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20

SAIORDA1 DECEMBER zU
 Benefic aspects rule today, al- though adverse planetary influenc- es are active. The morning is fla vorable to industry, but later in the day labor troubles are indi- cated.
 HEART AND HOME: Good feel ing and happiness should domin- ate under this configuration which encourages optimism and enthusi asm. Mercury is in a pla e promising good news and many letters. The stars smile upon sue cessful men and women today, which is favorable to kindly ir- 1 terest in employees, churches sand philanthropies. Aged members Of the family should be guarded against fatigue or illness. World woes will be reflected by sensitive persons who must cast out all feel ! ings of apprehension or depression
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS Merchants will reap an immense harvest of dollars today. The stars encourage generous spending. Americ n friendship will be expressed to war victims of many countries who will benefit by the munificence of the new world as it faces the most perilous year in history. There is a promising sign for our shipping Telegraph and telephone companies will profit. Airplane transportation will be popular. This is time to rejoice for manifold blessings.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Evil propa- ganda will be broadcast to over- come the goodwilltoman spirit of the holidays The President and his Cabinet will be targets for ar rows of hate carrying political poison. Fourth term insinuations will be secretly disseminated by enemies of the Administration who have not read the signs in the stars which presage intuition, fore sight and spiritual inspiration which will place the President on the heights, far above personal am- bitions. t
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Notwithstanding glorification over past victories Hitler will be beset by misgivings about the new year in which astrologers read evil DOT tents for him. He will make some effort to placate religious organi- cations, since a planetary sign is read as presaging final defeat un- less he has the support of the Church. His terrible prosecutions will be remembered even when 1t is compulsory for Christians to ac- cept his clumsy efforts to deceive them. VE leE l l ta

In addition to being congress- man, smart, young Representative Clyde Ellis of Arkansas also is legal adviser''s of the Benton County (Ark) Possum Club.
 Each year the club stages a hunt and possum banquet in the Ozarks near Rogers, Ark, small community that is otherwise fam ous as the place where the late Will Rogers was married. Always in the past, Ellis has led the hunt, but this year the sudden outbreak of war kept him in Washington.
 So his Benton County friends did the next best thing. They sent the possum to Ellis. The other day an congressman delivered an unusu al parcel at his office. It was a crate containing large, black and very bellicose possum

JAPANESE KNEW IN ADVANCE

=
 If the two Japanese Ambassadors negotiating with Secretary Hull did not know their armed forces were going to attack, apparently they, themselves, were about the only Japanese around the Embassy who remained in the dark.
 Ryuichi Ando, listed officially as an attache of the Japanese En- bassy, actually was a student at SWarthmore College, living at the home of peaceful Quaker family where he was very charming, polite and made lot of friends. However, on Sunday, November 30, just one week before the fatal attack on Hawaii, Ando returned to college from a trip to Washing ton and hastily packed his bags. Making polite fareWells, he ex- plained that he was leaving for Brazil-and vanished.
 It was SEVEN DAYS LATER that the Japanese Ambassadors de- liyered their final note to Secre- tary Hull-about thirty minutes after the attack on Honolulu be- gan.

 Senor Echague's message, there fore, was very friendly one.
 Several hours passed, and the telegraph office finally told him his news dispatch had been held up by the naval censor-because it was written in Spanish.
 Later it was discovered that all messages from Latin American newspapermen were refused by the naval censor-because they were written in Spanish. And they con- tinued to be refused, even though Russian, German and Italian cen sors read English and every other language in order to clear press dispatches quickly.
 Finally Michael McDermott, able head of the State Departments press relations, called the naval censor and said.
