DIES AND DOUGH

Representative Martin Dies may make good on his boast that there will be less opposition this year to continuing his un-A American inves- tigation than there was last year But getting that million dollars he wants is going to be different story.
 The ebuillient Texan doesn't know it, but Accounts Committee, which holds the purse strings on House Investigating committees, privately has decided to limit his appropria- ton to between $1O0,000 and $780, GOO.
 And this isn't the only jolt Though Dies is sure Of a big major

Frissell and Edward w. Huckins, all former investigators for Ickes' PWA.
 Appleby has assigned these men to investigate the Rural Electrified ton Administration, which is one of his departments own bureaus. Also two of the old Ickes investigators are former utility company en- ployees. And the REA is bitterly hated by the utilities.
 NOTE: Senator George Norris ot Nebraska, one of the fathers of the Rural Identification Administra- iton, is theatening to take the Sen- ate floor to question Appleby's sleuthing methods, especially his ust of ex-utility employees.

ity to continue his probe, he will have to listen to some scorching oratory on his lecture profits, an estimated $75,000. Many Congress men consider it unethical to "cash in" on the publicity from an inves- tigation, and they are itching for a chance to say so on the floor of Congress.
 Another thing that may be brought out is the inside fact that, while Dies now contends his committee IS indispensable, he didn't feel that way six months ago. When he asked for an additional $5O,00O last fall and got $25 000-he promised Speak CT Sam Rayburn in a letter that his committee would quit when tht money was spent.

Victory for Our First Lady
Philadelphia Record)

Offhand, it looks like just local news item from Washington, D. e. The Golden Gate Quartet it says will give concert in Constitution Hall"
 Actually that item is monument to the pro- gress of tolerance and democracy in the United States-and testimonial to the courage of one of the grandest First Ladies of American history Flea Roosevelt.
 The Golden Gate Quartet is group of Negro singers and Constitution Hall is where Marian An- derson, the great Negro contralto, barred from singing two years ago, by the OAR, which owns the hall.
 Yes, this reversal of position by the DAR. is a victory for Mrs. Roosevelt of which the whole nation may be proud You probably remember how she invited Marian Anderson to sing at the White House, and how Secretary Ickes sponsored mass concert for her at the Lincoln Memorial
 An incident which, once, was as type of discrimination, became mighty object lesson in real Americanism. The nation cheered
 We are glad the OAR has thus changed its rules. And we are proud American democracy is so stoutly vindicated. There few other lands left in the world where it would have turned out this way.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12

After the early morning benefic aspects rule today. The stars en- courage constructive activities and smile upon men who are leaders.
 Heart and Home: Under this con- figuration mind and heart should develop general and universal in- terests. Mental vision should be clear. This is a day for women to set in order all their affairs and to achieve an attitude of serene faith, for upon them is to fall the duty of sustaining male members of the family through periods of severe strain Under this sway men with responsibilities may be in- clined to look upon the dark side of world conditions and to surrender to Encouragement. There is great promise for the future-after the clouds have rolled by.
 Business Affairs: Golden years of the past have vanished forever for American citizens who must suffer changes in a word gone mad, but l941 is to be remembered as the symbol of peace and prosperity in a great democracy. Trade and con- merce will develop surprisingly for tunateI conditions. Government spending will cause a memorable prosperity which is to be followed by period in which the nation must pay for splendid generosity in government expenditures. For that reason the wise will conserve resources and resist the tempta- ton to speculate. Pr
 National Issues: Public health will assume unusual importance this month and next when epidem- ics will cause widespread anxiety. Influenza and diseases of the di- gestive tract will be prevalent. Chil- dren also will cause concern when they contract diseases of serious nature. Diet and exercise will bene- fit men in training camps, but illness is presaged as weather con- ditions continue unfavorable. Physi- clans and nurses will be over worked It is, recalled that last year astrologers advised women to train as nurses and predicted pres ent needs.
 International Affairs: France will suffer this month from the ef- fects of the conjunction of Mars and Saturn. This nation will under go terrible experiences in the com l ing weeks. The stars seem to in. ldicate that there will be an amaz. ing return of ancient glory through dramatic and unexpected events il which diplomacy and daring com bine for final victory over Ger man domination. The stars are reat as presaging for France an un quenchable national spirit.
 Persons whose birthdate it i have the augury of year of varie' experiences. They should be ol guard against deceit and double dealing.
 Children born on this day prob ably will have lives in which the accomplish much and experienc many changes of environment They should be fortunate an happy in their chosen vacations.

that the act does not affect sub contractors. Towers had asserted that because of the law, sub-con- tractors were refusing defense orders
 You were wrong about that, Ad- miral," Walling said The Walsh Healey Act specifically exempts sub contractors"
 Towers hemmed and hawed, fin- ally admitted that he might have been in error. But" he added I've been hearing a lot of talk around here about the harmful effects of the act The Navy Department ieels that it should be amended to re- move its inequalities.
 Walling expressed surprise. That's quite different from the view ex- pressed by Secretary Knox at his press conference yesterday" he pointed out. The Secretary said flatly that the Navy Department had no plans for drive to amend the law"
 Oh" explained Towers, "a group of the bureau chiefs here got to- gether and decided what had to be done. Secretary Knox wasn't at the meeting and probably wasn't in- formed of what we had decided
 NOTE: Knox has consistently held that both the letter and spirit of the labor laws must be adhered to in all Navy contracts but few of the brass hats agree. Behind the scenes, they have sided against the unions and now are trying to inspire legislation on Capitol Hill to riddle these laws.
 NEW DEAL SHUTTING
 Between Harold Ickes' Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture there has long been a vitriolic and sometimes blazing feud One accusation hurled at Ickes by the other side during this row was that he tapped wides, hired sleuths to spy on his own associates. used the OGPU methods Of Soviet Russia
 Now, however, Paul Appleby, Und- CT Secretary of Agriculture, has hired some of Ickes' former sleuths to do some investigating Of his asso- ciates in the Agriculture Depart ment. Those he has hired are: Edward IA. Loweree, Lawrence 2
