THE sIRoN MANI OF TENNIS

It's about time that we give hand to
William Tilden 48-year-old veteran of the
tennis courts, who is setting some kind of a
record as the Iron Man. of tennis.
The other day, in the professional
round-robin tournament, the veteran Tilden
gave spectators matehless exhibition of
his great skill. For two sets, he had Fred
erick a. Perry, former worlds amateur
champion from Great Britain, very much
worried as he chopped, sliced and lobbed to
disconcert his younger antagonist.
After the second set, Perry, who won
the amateur championship in 1886, swept
forward to victory, winning the last three
sels decisiyeiy. Nevertheless, it is a bit
comforting. in this time of international
stress, to know that Big Bill Tilden is still
able to get on the course and play game
Of tennis that is almost the best in the world

LUCKY HIT

That lucky hit by British aerial torpedo on the propellors of the ill-fated Nazi battleship, Bismark was a shot heard around the world in naval circles.
 It has started reconsideration of designs that will result in far reaching changes in naval con- structi0n.
 Except for the direct hit on the Bismark's driving gear, which slowed her down and enabled the British fleet to close in, the giant Nazi battleWagon might have es- capped to rove the seas and prey on shipping. This fact has sunk home to naval builders and they have become extremely conscious of this Achilles Heel Orders have gone out to devise protection for ships propellors.
 The answer to the engineering problem involved is not an easy one
 Bulges extending beyond a ships propellors would offer some pro- lection, but this would be offset by serious reduction in propulsive power and maneuverability Some ether solution has to be found
 One thing is certain: The Ger mans had none up to the time they built the Bismark.

Good Luck!

Philadelphia Record)
 President Roosevelt has made excellent choice in sending William C. Bullitt his special Presi- dential representative to the Near East.
 The former Ambassador to France and Russia is regarded keen judge of political and military trends. His opinion of events taking place in the Near East, now of the major battefronts of the war, will be invaluable in shaping Lease Lend policies
 Bultt will gather information in Libya the Nile River Basin. the Red Sea and Persian Gulf areas, and perhaps Palestine It is also considered likely that he will visit Turkey, which has been wavering between the Axis and anti-Axis camps.
 He is expected, too, to develop plans for better coordination of American aid in the Near East.
 At the same time another U. S. diplomat of ex- cellent mettle George s. Messersmith, is sent to Mexico as Ambassador Mexico is vital to hemis- phere defense and it is the nation in which the Good Neighbor policy has resulted in the most marked improvement in relations.
 Mexico and the Near East both, in very different ways vital diplomatic battlefieds of de- mocracy The nation wishes Bullitt and Messer- smith the best of luck in their new assignments.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1.


 Benefic aspects rule today which should be fortunate for labor and those who deal with large bodies of workers. There is a good sign for aviators, but uncertainty re- garding men in the Navy.
 HEART AND HOME: Women should be calm and balanced today. It is time when counting the individual blessings brings gratitude and the inspiration 10 make every one happy. Aid to the needy is inspired by the configura- ton which will stimulate good deeds in persons of all classes. The stars encourage the development of cooperation in families as well as in civic organizations. This is a favorable date for Inequalities
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Astrologers warn against the element of spec ulation or even gambling which may affect individuals as well as business. The feeling that it is we'll to take risks now and let the future take care of itself may be widespread. New fortunes will pile | up among the fortunate corpora tions which have been able to complete Government contracts on time. The stars indicate, however, that there will be much grief and greatly reduced profits where man ufacturers have underestimated the cost of expansion of plants and the delays due to labor troubles. NATIONAL ISSUES: Secret eff forts to foment race antagoniSmS and religious prejudices will be evident Criticism of Russia's record in limiting churches and church worships will increase due to fifth column influences as the Christ mas season draws near. The seers advise all loyal citizens of the Unit ed States to look ahead and to forget past events in Soviet gov 1 ernment history This is a period of sharp transition, they empha- size.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s l: The great gulf between the will and the way to aid Russia as well as Britain will cause criticism among the Allies in Europe, as deS- perate needs multiply in midwinter Danger that our enthusiasm may be affected by speeches in Parlia- ment and editorial in London news papers will be realized in Wash ington where the utmost pressure will be exercised to make good our promises early in the new year.

Trial by Battle
Cincinnati Enquirer


 Seldom does nation enjoy the advantage of being able have it's equipment tested by battle be- fore it is drawn into war. Usually the weaknesses, the flaws and the mistakes of planning are not re- vealed and therefore cannot be corrected, until the midst of conflict.
 Through the Lease-Lend Act, however the Unit ed States has had it's equipment put to the acid test of battle in advance of war involvement. On the sandy wastes of North Africa, in the rugged mountains of the Caucasus on the plains of China and in the bittder cold of Russia American made equipment has been in the fray against the Axis and has been demonstrating it's strong points and it's weaknesses. No mock could provide such a test and no laboratory could conclusively deter mine the worth or worthlessness of equipment
 The armament now being devised and assem- bled in American factories is up to the minute geared to battle needs. It is not full of bugs and flaws which might make a fatal difference in a campaign.
 The United States was drawn into the last World War ptifuly unprepared. In this conflict we have the assurance that our weapons have been tried and not found wanting.

 They scent the trial of the power tul Aluminium Corporation of Am erica, long the object of deep sus- pecion and sizzling condemnation by the committee.
 Hardest hit by the lead is the Reynolds Metal Co.,, go-getting con- petitor of giant Alcoa. Severa months ago, as a patriotic move when the aluminium shortage be- came acute, Reynolds, a big foil minimum in their product. At con- siderable cost the company con- verted its plants to use lead instead
 The anti-lead priority order is a double -barreled blow to Reynolds It not only puts the company com pletely cut of the tin-foil business, with thousands of workers thrown cut of jobs, but it also jeopardizes the firms booming aluminium buSi- ness that for the first time is giv- ing Alcoa real competition.
 Reynolds went into aluminium production by means of an REC loan As security REC took lien on all Reynolds plants.
 Thus, while one government agency has a mortgage on Rey- holds, another government agency is cutting the ground out from un- der Reynolds in regard to paying off it's government mortgage.
