Staggering about in tiny cage in the bacterio- logical laboratory at Notre Dame University is Yehudi II, the only germ-free monkey in the world And science watching this little siman with pro- found interest checking her every motion.
 Her? Yes, her. For Yehudi II is indeed she.
 Professor James A. Reyniers is responsible for devising the apparatus by which Yehudi II was brought into the world, germ-proof, and by which she has been kept since. It quite feat.

 So it goes, and will go Yehud II will live inside her germ proof cell indefinitely, while her "progress" is studied Her reactions will be duly noted her capacities likewise. Already science has determined that she does not like spinach

GOLD AND DEFENSE

telegram from Washington, D. C.. delivered to Gov Ernest Gruenings office yesterday bore really glad dings to gold mine operators in Alaska
 Signed by Donald M Nelson, director of priori- ties in the a-important OPM office, the message informed the Governor that mining machinery for gold operations, including placer mining develop ments have been placed in classification A-3 by the priorities board
 On the face of it. this cryptic classification might be little bewildering but boiled down to it's true significance this means that mining machinery has been given a preferred rating in the priortes set-up. It that while deliveries of many other goods will be slowed up due to the rush to produce defense materials, mine operators needing equipment to sustain their present operations to expand their activities, will receive consideration second only the delivery of actual defense needs such as steel plate for battleshps, arms planes and other vital goods
 Not only the mine operators but the entire Territory has to rejoice at this preferred pri orty rating granted mining machinery
 If mining operations in Alaska had been slowed down or forced to close in cases. because need ed machinery to replace worn equipment could not be obtained, or because machinery for further de- velopment of mines was not to be had critical condition would been created in the Territory When the present defense boom has subsded, Alaska will need going industries than ever before to put old residents back to work and keep residents brought here by the defense work steadily employed. The mines must play im- portant part in this rehabilitation
 Mining men, disturbed at the prospect of not being able to needed machinery, had already been holding meetings around Fairbanks move was being started to request the OPM to place mine machinery on the preferred priority list
 At the same time, moving toward the same goal Gov. Gruening for the past several weeks has been in airmail and radio contact with MT Nelsons prorites division of OPM

Britain's Aerial Offensive
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 Although unable to land troops on the continent this year the British doing the next best thing which is to maintain a heavy and growing aerial offensive against Germanys industrial and trans port centers Ever since fortnight before the in- vasion of Russia the Royal Air Force has maintained daily schedule of air raids, most of them in the Rhneland, but some ranging as far as Berlin. It has become an offensive fully comparable to the series of attacks made by the Luftwaffe against London and other English cities last year.
 On recent Sunday night and Monday morning Berlin suffered the heaviest raid of the war to date-a dusk k-to-dawn attack in great strength which left the German capital a of fires, large and small The magnitude of this raid, which came ex- acty one year after the first really large raid on London. reflects the growing strength of the Royal Air Force the preoccupation of Marshal Goerng's squadrons in the East and the tactical advantage to the British of longer hours of darkness.
 There is possibility of course, of a British "blitzkrieg' against the German Reich, any part of it. Blitz tactics call relentless bombardment day and night against limited objective until the cities seaports and transport services under attack are so demorazed that resistance is broken and equalization follows For many reasons, the British are not able to undertake such campaign Instead, they must rely the gradual accumulation of dam age-to German production transport, and morale.
 We have only the most fragmentary reports of the damage done in Berlin and other German cities, in contrast to the detailed eyewitness accounts sent back from England last year. Consequently we have no means of eyaluating Brtain's aerial offensive. But in any event. it would be pointless to expect sensational results, for Germany is large country and the major objectives of the Royal Air Force widely scattered Air bombardment is a slow and costly way to reduce enemy's potential.
 Nevertheless added to the havoc wrought by the Red Army, Brtain's air offensive is beginning to count, especially in reducing the output of Ger many's war industries Whether the results are discernible now or not the handicap imposed on Germany will be important, and perhaps decisive next winter and spring.

CTS ever since.
 For more than year these three men have been collaborating in attacks-some public, some be- hind the Scenes-on the motion picture industry.
 Most of the out-in-front fight ing has been done by G. Allison Phelps in his daily broadcasts However, the man behind him was Russell Mack (Mahoney) and the man behind Mack in turn was Winfield Sheehan.
 Last summer G. Allison Phelps the Los Angeles radio commenta- tor, went to Washington. There he hung out at the office of isola- tionist Senator Reynolds, of North Carolina, and conferred at length with the isolationist Senators wno now have turned up on the sub- committee Investigating motion pie lures.
 Returning to Los Angeles, Phelps boasted over the radio that he had accomplished big things ir Washington. And sure enough, or August l, Senator Clark, of Mis- souri, introduced a resolution de- manding an investigation of Holly wood. Two days later, Phelps in his radio broadcast commented on the Clark resolution as follows:
 And now, friends, this is but the beginning. wish I could read you the letters I have received within the last two weeks from certain Senators bearing on the Investigation. I wish I could read to you one telegram I received from Senator Charles w. Tobey (now on the investigating com mittee). This is but the forerunner of the congressional investigation of the entire motion picture in- dustry."
 MT. Phelps had gone to town in Washington.

HOLLYWOOD GHOSTS

But even more important than this New York group has been the little group of ghosts in Los An geles, who helped inspire the pres ent Senate investigation Its mem bers include:
 G. Allison Pheips-Los Angeles radio commentator and author of the Tower of Babel" a booklet scathingly critical of Hollywood
 Russell Maek-frea name Ma honey), a former motion picture scenario writer, who visited Ger many shortly before the war start ed.
 Winfield Husband of the famous opera singer, Jeritza Sheehan was producer for Shir- ley Temple and Will Rogers.
 Sheehan had some lucky breaks and some unlucky ones. He was lucky enough to be with 20th Gen. tury and Fox just at the time Shirley Temple and Will Rogers were in their heyday. But on the other hand, he had no success whatsoever with Alice Faye, who went over big only after Sheehan left 20th Century.
 Subsequently for Metro-G Gold wyn-Mayer he produced "Florian.' supposed to be the story of his wife, Jeritza, with the plot laid in Spanish riding school in Vienna The film was flop, and Sheehan has been down on Hollywood lead

much time the hearings took Movie moguls have wisecracked that they might pay Willkie with the proceeds from one anti-Nazi propaganda film. If so he would get far more than $l0000O. Con- trary to the impression spread by the Senate committee, these films make real dough- That, say the moguls, is why they produce them.
 Isolationist Senators gave it out that Nick Schenck, of Metro Goldwyn- Mayer, summed an ap- pearance before their committee. Schenck is probably the biggest force in Hollywood, produced "Es- cape" and some of the biggest money-makers among the anti Nazi films. Actually he has been itching to get on the witness stand, but the Senate committee stalled for time, allegedly to let Senator Curley Brooks go to the American Legion Convention.
 James Twohey's weekly Analysis of Newspaper Opinion shows tha. about 90 percent of the newspaper editorials banned the Senate for Investigating the movies. {. Ninety-three percent of the news papers also were critical of Lind bergh for blaming the trend to war on the Jews.

 Mingled good and evil portend for this day which may be more fortunate for women than for men Labor again comes under adverse planetary influences. eV3
 HEART AND HOME: This should be a lucky day for women. young and old In the universities girls will lead in scholarship, for they will take a serious view of life and will have fewer social dis fractions than formerly. This is a date most suspicious for pursuit of what is of special personal cOn- cern to woman. It is lucky 2 for shopping and for entertaining. In- formal dinners will grow in popn- larity, but the rising prices of merchandise may dim enthusiaSm for buying of clothing. All l1xu- ries will be costly. ES
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This IS rather an unfavorable date sfor merchants and manufacturers. h. dustry may be hampered by labor troubles that take on unusual phases. Enterprises of importance may meet obstacles if launched tn \ der this configuration which cer- tainly seems to warn of subyersive activities. While heads of big bus mess and great Government pro- jects may have plenty of problems as the month closes, the general public will enjoy prosperity. X
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Those. who read the stars warn that it Would be absolutely unwise to discharge selectees who have served their terms of enlistment. Astrologers stress the importance of recogniz- ing the fact that the World War exigencies will require many months of service by our armed forces Even though there are signs that seem to promise a sudden and dramatic ending of conflict and a long-drawnout series of peace ne- gotiations, American defense must be maintained. aG ,,
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: According to leading occultists Ja- pan plays but a minor part in the World War and except for the ges-- lures menacing to the United States will be comparatively unim- portant in the great struggle of the democracies. Partnership in the Axis will not be profitable for the Mikado who must face the over- whelming power of the United States. Internal troubles including economic difficulties will hamper the militarists; earthquakes and other catastrophes will reduce the strength of the Japanese. China is to win final victory that will leave Japan prostrate, exhausted in man power and physical resources.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of first rate prospects including increase of income and lighter work.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be well-balanced in character and keen in intellect. They may be philosophical, artistic and unusual in personal attractive iieoo' nnt
