THE WASHINGTON NIERRY-Go-ROUND
By Draiw Pearson and Robert s. Allen

WASHINGTON = U ncensored diplomatic dispatches indicate that this time more is taking place between Russia and Ger many than the usual Nazi sport of Russian bear-baiting. It now looks as if 1,500,000 German troops concentrated along the So- viet border mean a real show down and the possible invasion of Russia.
 For year Hitler has followed the strategy of alternately bully ing and coaxing Russia in order 10 get the oil, wheat and raw materials the German army needs. Sometimes Russia was bribed with chunks of Poland or Rumania, sometimes threatened by Concentration of Nazi troops.
 As a result, various agreements have been worked out for sup plies, even for the use of German experts to aid Russian industry. But these have been largely pa- per agreements. In terms of con- crete results Russia has coughed up little. She has withdrawn re- cognition from such 1uered countries as Greece and agoslav ia; made other political gestures. But when it came to shipping oil, there were always excuses.
 Now diplomatic dispatches in- dicate that the showdown may be just around the corner.
 Within the past few days Hitler has told his ambassador to de- mand the return of that part of Poland given Russia in Septem- Der, 1939-the bribe which real ly touched off the war. Hitler also demanded that Russia turn the Baltic states of Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia over to Germany.

Progress in the development of the Federal airway system also is noteworthy. It was lhastened, last autumn, by a supplemental appropriation of S2.000,000 above the rgeular budget allotment. More than 5000 miles of airways have been added. Many vital ele- ments in the. longtime plan have been completed in all parts of the country. By next year the back bone of the Alaskan system will be complete, and we will have service on the important Pacific islands.
 Last October, the first money ever appropriated to this office for airport development was made available. It was $40,000,000 and with it we are now at work On nearly 200 sites which have been certified as important to the national defense. Our contrsbu- tion 10 the discussions with the Army and Navy has been to sup port locations which, so far as possible, will be practical for civ il operations after the emergency
 All in all, we have had an act i've year; but if the appropria- tions for fiscal 1942 emerge free from conference without serious shrinkage, civil aviation will have for the coming year big ger program that 1t ever had be- fore. More than $144,000,000 has been voted to this agency by the Senate, and the only substantial difference between the Senate and House appropriations is the amount for airports. This differ ence grows primarily from the fact that, after the House had passed our appropriation but be- fore the Senate had considered it, the President asked for a $61,- 500,000 addition to the airport item. The Senate granted this re- quest, and the House must now consider it in the conference. If the House concurs, our 1922 air port improvement program will exceed $94,00O,000.
 AS for pilot training, both Hous es have approved $25, 100000 for next year.
 We are aware, of course, that the size of this program is due in large measure to the defense emergency. At the same time, we feel two other factors are in- volved. One is that, under our present administrative set-up, civ il aviation has a voice at the cabinet table and thus can make its needs heard. The other is vim dication of what I call this coun- try's 'ambidextrous policy" re- garding transport facilities. In short, we always have built cer- tain types of civil facilities in tim es of peace which could be con-

HOROSCOPE
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER Q

Mingled good and i'll are fore
shadowed for today which may
bring sensational war news. II
is day TO watch and wait.
Heart and Home: Women are
well directed while this con-
figuration prevails. They should
confine themselves to routine
duties and interests. II is an I'M
propitious date for starting any,
thing. Change will be apparent
in the atmosphere, all should
put their houses in order so that
they may be ready for important
public service. This is not a
date for seeking positions of any
sort, but amusements and hos
pitalities should be successful.
Business Affairs: Labor re-
lations in war industries will be
more harmonious than in the
summer. Manufacturers will
prove their ability to perform
miracles in production of ships
and airplanes. Secret opposi-
ton 10 government policies and
criticism Of capitalists will
prove troublesome In the future.
This is a date fortunate for
publicity. Advertisers are to
adopt daring methods. The press
and radio will profit through
mercantile enterprises, but po-
ltical discussions should be
curbed.
National Issues: Astrologers
emphasize the statement that
our future independence is close
ly bound to the future indepen-
dence OF all our sister republics.
South America allegiance. which
has been anchored by trade with
Europe, will be largely trans
ferred TO us before many weeks
have passed. although fifth
column agencies have gained
many supporters. Under Can
Ger, the sign OF universal mother
hood, are the United States.
Canada and Argentina with
Peru on the Cancer-Leo cusp.
Persons whose birthdste IL is
have the augury OF a year of
success and Advancement. Men
in the public service will bene-
fit.
Children born on this day
probably will be emotional and
impulsive. but rarely talented.
Success is foretold II they are
wisely educated and carefully
trained.

Reapportionment Again

There was a census in 1910. The Constitution and the
laws enacted Hereunder provide that the representation
in accordance with population revealed by each 1oyear
census
When census returns were all totaed up at the end
of 940 Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones reported to
the presidne the results together with what they
for the various states Some states stand to gain repre-
senation in future after the 1912 elections
other stand to lose, because they have gained lost
population since the last census.
All this is right and proper since under our form of
representation should be equazed nearly
possible Congress always hestates to do its duty in this
matter Up to 1920 il sided into that duty by simply in
creasng the size of the house. adding members for states
with increasing population, without taking away from
the others.
In that year il was decided to freeze the total at 4S5
and good thing, too That is plenty big enough, and
critics say ii is unwiedy. Obviously the national
population grows and the house is not increased in
bership members must represent larger and larger
suencies and districts must eventually be elm
mated or consolidated.
Now. however Interesting problem within
the problem. In Illinois, suit has been filed by State
Representative DAILY Of Alton asking the state courts to
prohibit election Of from illinois the basis
OF the % congressional districts they stand If
