THAT UNCERTAIN FEELING"

DON'T UNDERSTAND WAR

Little effort has been made to supply newspapers and reading ma terial in the camps, and the men seem to have little idea of what is going on in Europe. Certainly the Presidents ideas on the menace of Hitlerism and the belief of the ma- jority in Congress that the safety of the United States is tied up with England, have not yet percolated thoroughly to the new army.
 Moreover. most of the homes from which the boys come have no clear idea Of war aims or the reason for the draft. And that probably is the root explanation for the slow build ing of army morale.
 Because of this lack of direction many recruits have been allowed to look upon military service as a duty which has to be performed and got over with as soon as possible They count the number of furloughs they can have. which is three times ten days. plus week lends, and sub tract that from the number Of days they must serve.
 Several of the Presidents advis- CTS have been urging him to take the lead in charting public opinion and explaining, to men of military age and their families, what the war is all about.

AVIATION'S EVIL BENEFACTOR

Hitler has famed up i'll wind which will do the United States and the world no end of good in the long run, according to Brig. Gen. Donald H Connolly Administrator of Civil Aeronautics Speak ing last Friday in Louisville Kentucky the Gen. eral said:
 Adolf Hitler-without intending to-has put a silver lining inside his dark cloud. He has forced recognition of the airplane and its potentialties and to be perfectly blunt about it. his evil deeds have put aviation forward 20 30 years am you will not of being Naz for saying that. He has misused the airplane. He has taken invention which can-and eventually will make good neighbors of the nations of the world; and he has used it to kill and ensave his neighbors But to cope with him, being forced to de- velop aviation beyond widest imaginings"
 Two years ago, in this country, there were 50000 workers in the aviation industry. Next year there will be at least 100000. Two years ago this nations aviation products worth $125 OOO Last year
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-06-09

they reached $55O 100000 and next year they will ex Eceed three billion dollarsSif value Two years ago there were about 25OO0 civilian pilots in the United States. Today there are 100000.
 Progress in the development of the Federal air. ways system also is noteworthy It was hastened last autumn by a supplemental appropriation of s2 100000 above the regular budget allotment. More than 5000 miles of airways have been added Many vital elements in the longtime plan have been completed in all parts of the country By next year the backbone of the Alaskan system will be com plete, and we will have service on the important Pacific islands
 There can be no disputng the fact that avia- ton is remaking the world today The role of the airplane in modern has been dramatized dur ing the past few weeks but its influence throughout the conflict has been decisive. The role of the air plane dramatized at Crete and in the Atlantic. At Crete an entirely successful invading force was borne by air across open water and landed an island At Crete andbased aircraft inflicted heavy losses on too many British naval units to leave a pleasant impression. And in the Atlantic, aircraft of several types-argey American-b -built-wrote the doom of the dreadnaught Bismarck They made it plain that the very word "dreadnaught" is ob- solete; for the batteship of today certainly has cause to dread one thing at least. Lockheed air planes spotted the Bismarck in Norwegian inlet Catalina seaplanes shadowed her from the clouds And when she had outrun the British ships another Catalina found her and directed the averaging forces to her. Then British torpedo planes from the Ark Royal so disabled her that she could only wait her doom.
 That same week saw the President of the United States asking Congress for another three billions dol lars for military and naval aircraft.
 The development of aviation in this country has been spurred tremendously by Adolf Hitler In the end that development may well prove his undoing.

Germany's Oil Supply
(Cincinnati Enouirerl

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 Ever since the first weeks of the war, there has been talk of Germany's oil shortage. Yet there never has been time when it could be said author- tatively that the Nazi effort has definitely been hampered by lack of diesel fuel aviation gasoline.
 Possibly breathing spells" in the German effort have been dictated by temporary localized shortages of oil Certainly the seizure of Rumania was made necessary by the lack of domestic oil sources in Germany. Yet shortage of decisive d- mensons has not come
 Now Dr. Robert E. Wilson, qualified oil expert, asserts that Germany is conducting with total petroleum production, including imports and sym thetic fuels equal to only five percent of United States production. In itself, this argues the present possibility of oil shortage in the Reich.
 Dr. Wilson very properly points out that there will always be chance to end the satisfactorily by intensive and continuous air bombardment of Germanys synthetic fuel plants and oil transport lines. The British have been aware of this possi- bility but have not had the abundance of bomber craft to engage in really massive onslaught.
 The Germans may take Cyprus and then move through Syria in force against Iraq finally taking its rich oil fields In the light of Dr. Wilson's German drive into the Middle East is directly relat- ed to the problem of oil supply.
 Merely controlling Iraq however would not au- tomatically mean abundant oil for Germany. Iraq's oil would be available to the Reich only with com mand of the intervening And it will be a long time if indeed it happens, that the British will lose effective command of the waters of the Eastern Mediterranean.

FARM BUREAU FEDERATION

Moguls of the powerful American Farm Bureau Federation are ready to say uncle" and make peace with the Administration.
 Up to year ago the Farm Bureau was the fair-haired boy on farm policy, largely due to the suave as tuteness of Ed O'Neal, Federation president, and his personal friend ship with Roosevelt. The organiza- tion carried lot of weight with the President and Wallace, so that hun- dreds of its local dealers got lush federal jobs administering the vast AAA program.
 But at heart most of the Fedora tion's generalissimos never were very hot about the New Deal, and last year they began demanding greater local control aimed at running the program themselves. And in a show down over domination of the Fed eral Land Banks, Wallace rapped them over the knuckles and the bat tie was on.
 Soon it spilled over into the polit- ical arena, when cornbelt Farm Bu- reau leaders, led by ambitious Earl Smith of Illinois, dumped the Roose- velt-Wallace ticket and put in some heavy licks for Willkie.
 Willkie's defeat knocked the props from under the boys and behind the scenes they have been getting in- creasingly jfttery because they've al- ways leaned pretty hard on their fin" with the reigning administra- tion. With many jobs and other ! gravy at stake, the prospect of be- ing in bad with the powers was not healthy.
 So. reverting to the old realistic axiom, If you cont lick 'em, join 'em," the boys have propositioned Clifford Townsend, Defense Agri- cultural Advisor and former New Deal Governor of Indiana, on being their peace-maker
 Townsend was one of the organ izers and first leaders of the Farm Bureau in the Midwest Yet when he stumped that area for Roosevelt and Wallace last fall he bumped up against the bitter opposition of many of his old associates. So he has not yet decided whether to. be peace maker x s<t~~ 4xx Copyright, aS4L by United Fea-

COMIC OPERA

The handling of the aluminium shortage problem has reached the comic opera stage.
 It's been headed that way ever since Edward R. Stettinius, attrac- tive young chief of Raw Materials for Defense, solemnly proclaimed there was no danger of deficiency in this vital metal-despite the warn ings of plane makers and experts. Setettinius doggedly stuck to his stand until one day he suddenly slapped aluminium on the priority llst-th CT by completely reversing himself mad admitting he had been talking through his hat.
 This move was followed by an- nouncements that in orGer to make the supply of the metal go as far as possible for defense purposes, its use in consumer articles, such as re- frigerator ice trays, would have to be curtailed. But the latest antic is really funny.
 From Stettinius' office, plane makers received a telegraphic order not to sell their scrap aluminium Beyond that there were no instruc- tons. So they kept it and soon had large piles of scrap aluminium clut- tering up their plants, taking up valuable space. Finally they com planned to Washington, wanted to Know what it was all about. Explanation they received was that the scrap was wanted for resmelting
 The plane makers couldn't be- lleve their eyes, because the short age III the metal is not in ingots but n sheets and forgings. So the plane makers let out loud snort. where upon another explanation was forth coming
 Explanation this time was that the scrap was desired for it's mag nesium content.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
TUESDAY, JUNE 10


 This is not an important day in planetary direction. In war and peace whatever has been set in motion will gain impetus. Labor is under mildly adverse influences which seem to indicate dissatisfac- tion regarding women workers in defense projects.
 Heart and Home: Adverse aspects may be disturbing to women today when they should prepare for un- expected calls upon them for pub lie service. Minor tasks of all sorts should be accomplished and the home calendar cleared for impor- tant work. The summer is to hold for girls many opposite experiences. They will enjoy much of romance while they engage in hard work for the general good. This week may be a time of waiting for some thing important to happen. The wise will be ready to respond to any call of duty or opportunity. In the great human drama of 194l there will be a return to high thinking and simple living among Americans who will use their re- sources generously for the com mon good.
 Business Affairs. In the flood of prosperity which will benefit citi- zens of the United States large for tunes will shrink and small possess sions will expand. Gradually there will be a trend toward equalization of wealth. The spirit of democracy which has prevailed in education will dominate more and more. Eu- ropean and American astrologers have prophesied that form aof state socialism will emerge from postwar conditions.
 National Issues: Gradual har- monizing of interests will be ac- complished as employers and em- ployees unite to produce the tre- mendous machinery of defense The spirit of democracy is to flame in the hearts of Americans who in time of emergency reach an under standing of opposite points of view. Citizenship will inspire men and women to the right comradeship which erases all forms of class consciousness. In the inevitable re- making of the nation betterment of conditions in a land of splendid resources will be achieved.
 International Affairs: Because Hitler is said to have depended much upon astrology in making his plans for aggression, the fact that after victory his timing failed seems to prove that there were mistakes in the horoscopes cast for him by his consutants. It is true that Lon don seers predicted that early in l941 the Fuehrer would reach the peak of his career. According to many readers of the stars there will be tragic close of the dic- tator's life within two or three years.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of mixed experiences with unexpected good fortune compensating for losses CT diSappOintmentS.
 Children born on this day proba- bly, will be industrious and ambiti- ous, impetuous and determined. They should be mentally alert, imaginative and sensitive. Writers and orators belong to this sign.

he hit on an answer for her amuSe-

Joan Halliday might be playing

Bert Donovan stepped back as
Diane started her motor. Diane

Michael a pointed look, and drove
