ITALY'S YEAR OF CONQUEST

One year ago this month Bento Mussolini ap- peared on the balcony of the Palazzo Venezia and defied the world Fascist Italy he shouted, "has arisen for the third time strong proud compact as never before. There is only one command. It al- ready wings its way and inflames all hearts from the Alps to the Indian Ocean-Conquer We will conquer in order to give new world of peace with justice to Italy, to Europe and to the universe"
 On the first anniversary of these glorious words Bento Mussoln spoke fanty and cautiously to the Chamber of Fasces and Guilds the other day. For after year of conquering Fascist Italy was no longer strong, proud compact. Scattered about the Medi- terranean and along the coasts of Africa were the remnants of the Italian Army, the Italian Navy and the Italian throne British soldiers held the forts and cities of Eritrea and Somalland. No Italian soldier had been allowed to set foot in prostrate Athens. What left of the Fascist Libyan Army was under the command of Hitlers officers. A prince of the House of Savoy to be sat the throne of tiny Croatia but only by the grace of the German god. And outside in the streets of Rome, as Bento Mussoini spoke few days ago, the German Army guarded puppet Italian government from it's own people,

AUTO SHOWDOWN

Behind that demand of Under secretary of War Patterson for a 50 percent slash in auto production is a head-on showdown in a long un- dercover inner Defense battle be- tween the business as usual" boys and the military chiefs.
 It never leaked out, but before Patterson sent his letter to OPM in- sisting on the auto cut, the two groups clashed face to face at a meeting in his office.
 Among those present at this meet ing was OPM Director General knudsen. The former General Mo tors head was told bluntly that un- less auto production was drastically curtailed it would be impossible tc obtain the steel and alloys needed for the greatly expanded plane, ship freight car and pipe line programs One or the other had to be sacri- feed; there wasn't enough meta for both autos and defense.
 The military chiefs backed theil arguments with the following tellins , figures:
 Despite the 20 per cent auto GU three months ago, the industry ha, been making new production record. for weeks. Last week it established an all-time high with 132,0OO cars At present rates of production tn, industry is operating on II .0OO GOO ton steel consuming basis.

MERRY-GO-ROUND

Faced with a serious growing shortage of power, Defense chiefs will recommend to President Roose- welt nationwide two-hour daylight saving time schedule. Both Britain and Germany have had this in ef- feet for more than a year. The orig nal OPM plan called for pushing pack the clock only one hour but this is now considered not enough.

Tt is we'll" says he, that it be known American intervention does not bother us much" What grandiloquent boast has this man to make concerning what will happen to nations which get in the way of Fascism? "It mathematical certainty" he says that without any Balkan dis urbance the Italians would have broken through the Greek defenses." Who would march to glorious victory with the new Fuehrer chief of great allied Germany" The Japanese" he said, "are proud and loyal people who would not remain indifferent in the face of American aggression against the Axis And what would be the fate of the United States if it should intervene?

wide experience in manufacturing and merchandising will be required as wise counselors in Washington.
 National Issues: Approximate equality in sacrifice for the de- fense program will be sought by statesmen's plans, as dissatisfaction regarding special privileges or un- usual favors enjoyed by the few is expressed by civilians as well as by men in the Service. The demand that democracy be demonstrated in great and small matters affecting the nation will be insistent at this milestone in defense preparations. Astrologers declare that this is the opportunity to prove what Gov ernment for the people, by the peo- pie really means.
 International Affairs: Like a prairie fire sparks from world war battles will ignite distant countries in the terrible war. The outlook for the future includes years of diff cult readjustment after world peace is attained, so it is well to pre- pare for economic as well as an arms conflict. This is time of grave potentialities, but there will be continued opposition in Con- gress as Administration plans are presented.
 Persons who birthdate it is have the augury of year of fair finan- cial success. Deals in land should be profitable.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be popular, but as they develop into promising artists they should be exacting about the right sort of publicity.

HARRY BRIDGES DEPORTATION

That Harry Bridges deportation case in San Francisco is now closed and awaits decision by the trial judge. Only he knows what the out come will be. But near the very close something happened which nearly upset the Governments applecart. Richard Frankensteen, CIO Auto Worker official, who tried to stop the North American Aviation strike, was put on the stand as Govern ment witness.
 The idea of having Frankensteen testify was proposed by Director of Immigration Lemuel Schofield in charge of the deportation proceed ings. But it was opposed by FBI As sistant Director Earl Connelley, who asked if Schofield knew what Frank enSteen was going to say on the witness stand. Schofield indicated that the United Auto Worker Vice. President was going to tell about Bridges communist background, but admitted that he had not gone into the details of his testimony
 I'm absolutely against any wit ness going on the stand until he has reviewed his testimony in advance, , Conne]ley remonstrated.
 So they talked with Franken- steen, who, however, declined to re- veal his testimony. Later Connelley saw Frankensteen talking with Bridges in the corridor and warned Schofield to be careful. The Immi. grafton director, however, insisted that he be put on the stand.
 Almost immediately after he wa sworn in Frankensteen pulled a pre- pared statement out of his pocke and proceeded to berate the Justic, Department for trying Harry Bridg eS twice.
 While Government attorneys ros to object, Frankensteen pounded tn Government all over the lot. Blu the trial judge would not stop hin

This tonnage almost exactly CO., incides with the steel shortage which OPM experts several weeks ago said would face the country.
 Military chiefs also argued that there was no real need for this huge auto output since oyer 10,O00,00o good used cars are in the hands of dealers. They also claimed that in addition to taking urgently needed steel and alloys from defense, the auto industry was using tens of thousands of badly needed skilled craftsmen and machine tools.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
SUNDAY, JUNE g

Benefic aspects are active today, but adverse influences may retard plans or activities of importance. The configuration is helpful to heads of church, state and busi- ness.
 Heart and Home: This is a day of good prospects for those who head large organizations and should be favorable to the clergy. A wide spread turning to religion is fore cast for persons living under the democracies. Prayer will assume social and financial problems as the old order passes away under stress of world war. Many religion ists will accept this time of tribu- lation as the end of the world. but the seers believe that Bible prophe- cies may have been misinterpreted in good faith.
 Business Affairs: Lure of good wages in Government projects will cripple private industries of many sorts. agriculture may suffer through harvest times. Prosperity will reach all classes in some form and unemployment will stay at a low level. One of the surprises in the United States will be the large number of persons permanently un- fit for wage-earning. The aged and the incapacitated will constitute 8 growing burden to the nation, as- trologers prognosticate, while the young and efficient meet death in war or accidents. The nation, how ever, is to gain in power and pros perity so greatly that it can assure support and kindly care for all who are unfortunate.
 National Issues: Again warning is given against over-confidence in the invulnerability of our defense provisions. This is the time for the people to listen to criticism which should cause careful survey of achievements and courageous ac- knowledgment of any discovered weaknesses in Army, Navy and av- iation, or any defects in the ma chinery produced for possible war needs. Acceptance of facts is ad- vised by astrologers who perceive perils for peace-loving people. International Affairs: Spread of communistic propaganda m ong transport workers will cause grave concern. Arrests and trials of sus- pected traitors will be of slight avail, the seers declare, unless sweeping changes are made in the personnels of certain crews, and harbor employees. There are evil portents that seem to indicate lack of thoroughness in dealing with es- pionage and sabotage. Novel meth ods of fifth column work will gain headway at this time.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good fortune. Through national servics fame will come to certain men.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be successful and fortu- nate all through their lives. They will be, popular and will travel widely.
