ANTI-WILLKIE CAMPAIGN

General Robert Wood, head of Sears, Roebuck and Chairman of the America First Committee, is train ing his personal guns on Wendell Willkie, apparently infuriated by the increasing militancy of Willkie's ad- vocacy of all-out aid to Britain.
 Wood is telling isolationist inti- mates that it is all-inportant to concentrate their fire on the 1940 COP standard bearer Among those he conferred with on this Get Will kie" drive was a leading New York publisher
 Other America First leaders make no secret of their feeling that Will kie is their most potent platform foe and of their desire to silence him. They say that Willkie com pletely negates the effect of Colonel Charles Lindbergh, whom the Am erica Firstites believed would sweep the country.

ALASKA-PART OF THE NATION

Besides bringing us some enlightenment on the motives behind the flight of Rudolf Hess, today's Washington Merry-Go- Round column in the En- pire carries modest little item which is of supreme interest to Alaskans.
 The Merry-Go- Round says State Depart ment will shortly negotiate with Canada" for con- struction of the Alaska International Highway. If so-and this column has batting average of prac- ticaly 100 percent-the role of the Territory in ation to the nation may undergo a great change highway would demonstrate to the people of the United States, nothing else would, that Alaska is integral part of the nation and not a remote possession" When any motorist in the United States can load up his family automobile and drive it into Fairbanks in the of few days, then Alaska will be a certain candidate for state hood.
 Our long insularity-one not of geography but of neglect-appears about to become thing of the past.

POKER FACE

Douglas c. MacKeachie used to play poker for the A. and P. Stores, but now he plays poker for Uncle Sam.
 When he directed purchases for A. and P.'s New England division, the stakes were 250 million dollars a year, and he played his cards close to his chest. Donald Nelson liked his game, and brought him to the OPM. MacKeachie is Deputy Di- rector of the Purchases Division.
 The Coast Guard is in the market for wool The Navy is in the market for wool. The Army is in the mar ket for wool. MacKeachie steps in. Hold on, here, one at a time; if you fellows bid against each other, the price of wool will get out of sight"

FACTS ABOUT PLANES

To be successful the defense effort must enlist the enthusiastic cooperation of the whole country. It cannot do this if the public is kept too much in the dark to know how the program is progressing. It must know in a broad way what has been done, what remains to be done, in what directions are ahead of schedule in what directions serious ly tagging The public should know everything about the defense program, in short that is not properly a military secret
 The Administration has still to follow policy of adequate publicity, consistent policy. Take once more, example, the production of airplanes, in which there is popular interest than in any other item The OPM now announces

NO MILITARY SECRETS

How deep this rift extends is not known, but diplomatc dispatches in- dicate it has been deepening and that Hess, under suspicion in recent months, has not been in the con- fidence of the Nazi high command. Hence he may not be of much mili- tary use to the British.
 A super sensitive person, Hess fre- quently had shown signs of worry about the fate of Germany and the Nazi party. Last fall diplomatic dis patches reported that he was con- fined to his home because he kept giving Hitler pessimistic warnings of what was in store for Germany.
 For a time members of the diplo- matic corps in Berlin did not know what had become of the No. 3 Nazi, thought he had either been purged or killed at the front. Later he re- turned to official life and appeared close to Hitler until recently, when the Balkan-Near Eastern campaign was launched.

HOROSCOPE. "The stdrs incline ,s.'',
 bat do not compel"
TUESDAY, MAY 20

OEObh I MA I ~ fl
 After the early morning hours benefic aspects rule today. Neptune is in threatening place, but the stars seem to smile upon those under the sway of Uranus.
 Heart and Home: This is a for tunate date for beginning any new task. It is lucky for those who seek employment in vacations which usually are followed by men. Girls who adopt the handicrafts for merly belonging to old-fashioned women should find this profit able date. The use of the hands is strongly advised by the Seers who foretell that in postwar conditions luxurious living will be restricted. Women trained in household work will be fortunate in making their homes comfortable.
 Business Affairs: Manufacture nf perfumes and cosmetics will prove profitable, despite war conditions. Many products, the manufacture of which has been transferred from Paris and London. will be popular. It is foretold that fash ion experts from Paris will help to develop New York and Hollywood modes. Prosperity in the United States will assure widespread trade in what have become non-essentials abroad, it is forecast. The stars in dicate that 1941 will be a year of magnificent expenditures by Am ericans. s9
 National Issues: Agitation to re- strict the sale of alcoholic beverag- es slowly will extend through cthe summer. Again prohibition willIbe discussed and temperance work among young women will be first step toward forming public opin- ion. Ire cocktail party as debu- tante social gesture will gradually become unpopular and the presence of women at bars maintained in restaurants will be criticized. Slow progress in the movement to con- pei temperance or total abstinence is presaged by the stars. sa wa
 International Affairs: Peace me- gotiations will be announced in propaganda sent out by Axis pow ers but while there will be aspects affecting London that seem to presage some sort of enemy armis- tice proposal next month, there is configuration which forbids any sort of peace, except one that is the result of victory for Great Britain. The presence of Mars, Britains ruling planet, in Aries is read as most promising.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of suc- cess attended by beneficial changes. Disagreement with a partner cor business associate may prove for tunate. Vs.
 Children born on this day proba- ply will be popular, generous and talented. They may become gifted musicians or writers. Love affairs may be disappointing.
