Andy sailed under seven flags
before he first came 10 the
Pacific coast in 1878. He fished
in the Columbia. and later sailed
in the steam-schooners.
Those were the days when
sailors had no comforts. rights
or privileges in their ships. Andy
crusaded, fought and made
speeches, among both the sailors
and the owners. He never
stopped during the rest of his
life. which was long and color
full one.

or rather, the organized lobby
would never agree TO lowering
of requirements. II would take
too much time to rebuild the
ships for them TO be of any use

HOB OSCOPE
WEDNESDAY. MARCH 10

Benefic aspects rule this day
which should be fortunate for
both business and professional
people. Industry is under
fortunate direction of the stars.
Workers should cooperate heart
lily with their employers.
Heart and Home: Women
are subject to the most stimulat-
ing and inspiring planetary in
fluences. They should exert
their best energies in carrying
out unselfish plans. This is
day for recognition of ability
among girls and encouragement
in the scientific development of
their talents. Fame is to come
to many who give their services
TO the nation. Growth of power
through religious trends of
thoughts is forecast. The eve
ming should he employed in home
interests. for there il a portent
threatening the success of social
or public appearances.
Business Affairs: Prosperity
will encourage private enter
prise as the effects OF govern
ment spending are evident. but
the trend will be mostly toward
large projects. Investors will
profit by mergers or through
government orders. While this
nation is enjoying all possible
benefits 1t must be remembered
that the economic revolution is
progressing and that its effect
will be felt by 1e4S. when there
should be cessation OF world
conflict.
National Issues: Through fifth
column activities race conscious
ness win be aroused in the
armed forces. Negro citizens
may suffer through deliberate
misinterpretation of national
aims in the preparedness pro-
gram. but the stars promise
them high honors for heroic
service. Subtle methods will be
used secretly in srousing an
tagonisms and encouraging pre-
JUDGES. Absolute unity must be
attained in loyalty To the foreign
policy Of the United States.
In e irrational Affairs: Re-
verses or serious losses may be
expected by the British forces,
but they will be of temporary
effect. The stars presage ult-
mate victory for the democratic
form OF government after
months of severe conflict and
horrible waste of life and prop
erty. The solar ingress into
Aries this month for the spring
quarter is encouraging in its
aspects. II seems to presage
the discussion Of peace terms
before the end of the year. But
appeasement in any form is Of
evil portent.
Persons whose birthdate IL is
have the augury of a year Of
good fortune which brings new
interests and plenty Of excite
ment. Love affairs will flour
ish.
Children born on this day may
be extraordinarily fortunate.
although they may be original
and independent TO the point Of
eccentricity.

ONE ARREST
FOR GAMBLING

Editor The Times: The an
nual 1910 report of the police
department shows one arrest
for gambling. Does this mean
that our commissioner of pub
lie safety, alert to the duties Of
his office and Hgilant in law
enforcement. as he claims to
be, was able during the entire
year TO discover only one place
where gambling was being car
rled on? II 30. the news
should be broadcast to the credit
Of our city. especially since the
place was only in operation
couple of nights when the po-
lice walked in.
But before we flap our wings
and crow too loudly it might be
well to look al the facts. The
arrested gambler made two
mistakes: He ran counter TO the
established order of things in
our city by failing TO obtain the
sanction of the king of the city's
underworld to his opening up.
and by failing to go down TO the
underworld's city hall and pay
to the kings satellite in charge
Of the big safe the required
monthly payment of $500. In

PULSE OF
THE PUBLIC
BLAMES MOTORISTS FOR
PEDESTRIANS DEATHS

Editor The Times: I wonder
how many Tacomans are acutely
aware of the unenviable reputa-
ton we are fast acquiring as a
city which has little or no regard
for the safety of its pedestrians
1t was brought home to me a
little more wildly quite recently
when someone / knew to be a
reckless motorist added to our
death toll by taking the life of
an innocent pedestrian.
More recently I learned of a
neighbor doing the very same
thing. Being familiar with the
neighbours driving abilities. also,
l would feel quite convinced that
In both cases the unfortunate
victims were not to blame. Ia
coma has quite problem on its
hands when it has so many wild
drivers who are making the
streets unsafe for those who are
not in cars.
1t is bad enough to he in a car
and come into contact with such
a driver, but when it gets to the
place where you can't even be
safe crossing a street, then it is
time something drastic should
be executed. Otherwise this
promiscuous taking of human
lives will 60 on numerically.
Just the other day an eastern
er who had come here to make
her home made the remark that
you could not pay her to drive a
car in Tacoma" 1t had not taken
her very long TO realize the care
lessness that is exhibited every
day on our streets. II made me
feel ashamed for my fellow citi-
zens. knew she was so right.
Something must be done to
correct this dreadful situation.
Either the state examinations
must be more rigid, or the erring
motorist must be made to pay a
heavy penalty. There are too
many light sentences, or no con-
victions at all where death has
been the result of a haphazard
driver. These people are apt to
continue their same methods of
driving if a stronger lesson is
not taught them.
An example should be made in
such forceful way that all un-
ruly motorists will stop. look
and listen" before they. too. COM
NIT such grievous deeds. II Ia
coma wants TO lose this unsav-
DRY reputation, the problem
should be carefully studied and

guide our civic destiny.
MARION FOOTE BEECHER.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1941-03-12


The president has sent writ
ten instructions to the heads of
all defense departments, includ-
ing those topped by William S.
Knudsen and Sidney J. Hillman,
to submit regular detailed re-
ports to William II. McReynolds.
FDR's ordinary procedure would
have been to issue an executive
order-but that would have had
to be published in the federal
register. So he took the I'M
usual course of making his
wishes known in confidential
letter.
McReynolds is a career man
in government service. and ex-
ceptionally able. He was Henry
Morgenthau's personnel assist
ant before he became secretary
and virtually chairman-of the
original national defense COM
mission on which Hopkins serves
of those Anonymous" president
ial secretaries. and he recognizes
no boss save the man in the
White House. Under this sys-
tenn Knudsen and Hillmsn rate
no higher, except that their work
is more important, than the
chiefs of the publicity and photo
graphic sections of OPM.
Three men are mentioned on
the inside as most likely TO
emerge as No. boss man in the
job of rearming the L. S. They
are Harry Hopkins, star White
House boarder and Roosevelt
confidant: Donald Nelson, now
the chief purchasing agent for
OPM and the British: and John
ID. Biggers, a Knudsen aide but
a new deal associate from away
back.
These three have shown defin-
lite sympathy with the Roosevelt
uan faction in internal tiffs with
the so-called Sl-a-year group in
OPM, including Knudsen him
self II was Biggers who urged
creation of the planning COM
mission on which Hopkins serves
as White House representative.
Although Il is hardly fair 10 say
that this trio has been at odds
with the Knudsen group of bust
nessmen and industrialists. the
latter suspect that the three
gradually are tying up with the
White House faction. Though
everybody maintains amicable
relations on the surface, il has
caused some unexnressed resent
ment and dissension.
The pro-Hopkins clique well
comes his presence in national
defense circles because its MEM
bers figure that he has the ear
and the confidence Of Roose-
welt. The others are slightly
dubious of the ex-wPA chief
tian's ability 70 do a business
like job.
Fear Of legal or diplomatic
entsnglements is not the reason
why the administration hesitstes

ships now interned in our har-
hors The considerations which
bar use Of tonnage sorely want
I'd by the British are far more
