standardization of the armament of the U. s. and Britain was a recent request for 3.7-mm. shells. It was turned down because 75-mm. is the calibre of the guns now chhifely in use in our army. Production of 3.7 millimeter shells would have requir- ed extensive retooling, only to turn out ammunition of no value to us.
 The actual placing of lendlease orders is being handled through three offices; munitions by the Navys Bureau of Supplies and Ac- counts and by the Bureau of Ships; and army supplies by Under Secre- tary of War Robert Patterson.

FOR THE RECORD

Every so often Secretary of the Interior is given to opening that mouth of his and bowling at the press of the land Like most newspapers, we have howled right back There couldn't be any, thing in what the Secretary says about the press " have reasoned. He is just being Harold Ickes more"
 But now we discover that MT Ickes has legiti- mate howl coming, at least some of the time. News papers do abuse him unjustly. case in point is a series of articles appearing currently in The Chicago Tribune and in number of other U. s. newspapers subscribing to the Chicago Tribune Press Service.
 Recently Tribune correspondent, one George Tagge, flew to Juneau, stayed and flew back. In the week he learned what Aaskans thought about Secretary Ickes. He wrote his series in vein to warm the heart of his Ickes-hating publisher Col. Robert Rutherford Mccormick He quoted Aaskans assaling the Secretary for everything from last seasons poor salmon catch to the number of wolves running at large in Mckinley Park. He quoted Leo Rogge, Almer Peterson (spelling it Elmer Peterson) Col Otto F. Ohlson Spelling it Olson), Frank Whaley, Leroy Sullivan, Norman Banfield, John E. Pegues Harvey Smith, William L. Paul, Charles Goldsten and many others. What he quoted all these saying they may actually have said. But when he quoted Mrs. Helen Troy Bender publisher of this newspaper he quoted her saying some- thing she did not say, something which was not true and something which Tagge was told specifi- caly by Mrs. Bender not true.
 According to Tagges article:
 "Ickes' efforts to have the editor of Alaska's largest newspaper fired for writing editorial dis pleasing to him were disclosed by Mrs. Helen Troy Bender, daughter of former Governor John w. Troy. John E. Pegues, an Alaskan newspaperman for 31 years, editor of Troys paper from 1920 until 1885. when he became Executive Secretary of the Alaska Planning Council. . Pegues wrote an ed- torial assaling Ickes for arbitrarily imposing dic tatorial will upon the Territory. Ickes wrote to Gov. Troy, demanding Pegues dismissal. The Gov ernor replied that Pegues' contract gave him com- plete editorial freedom Because of his position, Troy did not publicize the matter. He has since been replaced as Governor by Ernest H.

quietly frightened up Miss Perkins towns. Recently the committee it. self ran up against the same prob lem. It needed more office space.
 Chairman John M. Tolan of Cali fornia, hearing there were some va cant study rooms in the new annex of the Library of Congress, asked MacLeish if the committee might use them.
 Why, Congressman, beamed Mac Leish, I've been studying your subject for years. In fact, I wrote a poem about it. Have you read it? Wait, I'll get a copy"
 He sent for a volume of his fa- nous poem, Land of the Free" and read some of its stirring passages to Tolan, who enjoyed the rare recita- ton immensely. Afterwards, Mac Leish presented the volume with a charming autograph to his thrilled visitor, then concluded by giving him more space than he had re- quested.

White made innocuous little speech es, but Brewster, rising to oratorical heights, pounded the table with a truculent demand that the labor question be solved. s
 Pike was next. A hush fell over the gathering as he opened up by asking what the famed New Eng- land college was doing to give it's students a chance to see both sides of current problems, including labor. Tension mounted when he quietly remarked that he agreed with Brew ster that the labor problem must be solved, but that there were two sides to most questions and usually as much wrong on one side as on the other.
 Pike cited as an example his ex- perience as a member of the mon- oply Investigating committee where, he declared, he had found that labor witnesses were uniformly more in formed regarding basic problems than spokeSmen of the particular industries. He concluded with the remark that he hoped the United States would not settle its labor problem in the Nazi manner, by brute force and regimentation. As Pike sat down there was stony silence at the head table, but the audience gave him the biggest hand of the evening.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline '''
 but do mot compel"
TUESDAY, APRIL p <.

Benefic aspects dominate today, but adverse planetary influences are active. Labor is under sign promising enthusiastic aid in what ever is constructive and well dir rected. 6S N
 Heart and Home: Women are fortunate in the early hours today which are suspicious for the ssigns ing of leases and other contracts. It is lucky date for writers whd contribute to press or radio. Labor should profit under this configura- tion which is more kindly to workers than to those who employ them. Hazards are indicated for manufacturers who may encounter obstacles unforeseen in the making of contracts. Girls now will replace many young men who have been removed from wage-earning voca- tions by the draft.
 Business Affairs: Activity in most lines of trade will be wide spread. Prices for certain lines of merchandise will advance. Woolens and leather goods should be pur- chased now by those who practice wise economies, because these com- modities will grow dearer before autmun. Financial matters should receive strict attention, for later there will be reason to regret lack of foresight. Banks and banking come under a planetary rule. that presages strange money problems,l IF,
 National Issues: Need for more destroyers and other vessels will cause the British government to make increasingly urgent appeals for aid. The stars appear to indi- cate that the United States will risk its own best interests by help ing in time of supreme crisis. There are sinister signs that pres age test to our great republic. Probably the Pacific fleet will be drawn into extraordinary activity.
 International Affairs: There is a sign read as foretelling an aggres- sive world war campaign this spring which will have a much dreaded effect upon the United States. Sinisher aspects are threat ening to the Philippines at time when the British Isles and Africa will sustain terrific assaults. The stars appear to indicate that the United States will be drawn into active participation in the conflict which is to be lasting, for the seers discern three stages in the war which may extend through more than decade.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of pros perity. Business progress and in- heritances are indicated.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be intelligent and popular. They may be intense in their, feel ings and exceedingly sensitive.

IRISH ARMS

The visit to Washington of Irish Defense Minister Frank Aiken, on an arms purchasing mission was no boon to Congressmen of Irish de- scent who voted against lend-lease.
 He has pointedly avoided them, and instead gone out of his way to hobnob with the members of Con- gross who supported the bill-par- ticularly House Democratic Leader John Mccormack, who sponsored the measure, and Representative Jim McGranery of Pennsylvania.
 The tall, genial Irish Minister has been eloquent in praise of Brit ish courage and President Roose- velt's policy of making the United States the arsenal of democracy" He wants to draw on that arsenal to arm Ireland against the Nazi menace.
 The Irish are as adamant as ever, Aiken says against turning over their urgently desired bases ot the
