So far as political independence

 Secretary of the Treasury Henry A. Morgenthau estimates that additional $3444O0 900 in taxes will be needed during the next fiscal year in order to defray the cost of at least two-thrs of the ment program from present income.
 Obviously, it is wise for the government to undertake to support great part possible of the armament program from tax income, rather than borrowing. We must be thinking not only in terms of preparedness but fiscal soundness flor the latter is hardly less vital to national de- fense

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not con,pew
FRIDAY, MAY g


 While this is not an important day in planetary direction, benefic aspects dominate for people of the United States. It is favorable to constructive work and to move ments of large groups of men.
 Heart and Home: Mental vision should be clear under this rule of the stars. Women should cast an- chor in work havens that assure peace of mind, for there may be a tendency toward fears and appre- hensions. Cheerful acceptance of changing world conditions is urged by the seers who discern period of stress for many families whose members must serve the s'nation. Astrologers long have foretold events which this month will be written in red letters.
 Business Affairs: While men who own factories and boys who have earned large salaries must make difficult sacrifices for defense, the stars seem to indicate that patrio- tism will sustain the spirit of de- mocracy as it is put to the test. Again fortunes will be made as government contracts are carried out, but the stars presage splendid service on the part of industrial ists who support government pro- jects Farmers should benefit this month.
 National Issues: Liberal thinkers in this country will be widely cri- ticized and generally misunder- stood. Warning is given that dan ger lies in the reaction of certain members of the intelligentsia to popular sentiment. Persecution en- courages rebels and misdirected ideas of loyalty cause serious con- sequences, the seers declare. Unity dividing lines in public opinion af- fecting defense The stars bode i'll for coming months in which the British cause becomes of grave im- portance to the Western Hemis- phere. E.tf International Affairs: Jupiter eliminating at Dublin is fortu- nate sign on Ireland's foundation map and seems to presage hope for closer bonds with Britain as dan- gers multiply against the British Isles. Saturn in conjunction with Mars and with Venus, Hitler's rul- ing planet, is read as indicating increased discord among members of the Axis. As the month advanc- es, amazing events are forecast and the Nazi power may be threatened seriously from within. s1tf
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of mixed experiences. Much activity and substantial gain are foretold, but there may be unexpected tan- noyances. Children born on this day prob- ably will be quick-witted and in- dustrious. They may be extremely sensitive and intuitive, unsslfish and fortunate in human contacts. Copyright, 194D fs

MEDITERRANEAN KEY

Key to the fateful battle of the Mediterranean which is about to burst in full fury is not the Suez Canal, but Britain's great naval base at Alexandria, 125 miles west of the canal entrance.
 It is the capture of Alexandria that the Nazis are after, for this would deprive the Briish of their key "bridgehead" in northern Africa and ensure Axis domination of the eastern Mediterranean So in com ing days, watch the war dispatches from Alexandria.
 . Actually, the Suez Canal itself has been of little value to the British for months.

IT NEEDN'T HAPPEN

One of our Empire newsboys is in the hospital suffering from injuries he received when struck by automobile Tuesday. That such accidents should in Juneau is surprise to anyone who knows anything about boys and automobiles and has seen them in action It is wonder that such accidents do not occur every day instead of every year.
 Boys will be boys. Motorists should remember this and slow down when they approach a group of them playing at the curb in the street
 Equally, automobiles will be automobiles They cannot be stopped on a dime. Boys-and their parents, who do a great deal to make our streets safer-must remember this
 The responsibility for avoiding accidents of the sort which occurred in front of the Empire office this week rests equally with Juneaus youngsters, their parents and automobile drivers.
 If all will be, not just reasonably careful but careful to the extent which the seriousness of the situation warrants such accidents need not happen in Juneau.

 The American public evidently realizes that the rearmament expense is necessary burden, and justly to be borne by them-not by their chill dren grandchildren.
 If the Axis succeeds in solating America, we must be prepared to give up the standard of living we have known, and to pay taxes the threatened nations of Europe have had to pay them
 If the world situation has happier conclusion must be prepared for the economic strains which would attend the demobization of the armament industry.

BOMBERS TO THE FORE

War developments have brought bombers, particularly of the long range type carrying great weight, to the fore as the major need of both our Army and the British.
 In April our bomber output was about one-sixth of the total number of planes produced-approximately 250 out of 1875 This was about 50 more than in March and the num- Der will mount monthly. By Sep tember production is scheduled to top 500 a month, and thereafter should step up another 300 per month as the four assembly plants swing into full operation.
 This years total U, s. plane out put, it is estimated, will be 18,000, or about three times the number in 1940. For 1942, production is now guessed at 30,000, but experts are confident that figure will be con- siderably exceeded under the plant expansion plans now being quietly formulated.
 In any event, by July of next year we should be turning out a minimum of 2,400 planes a month Military experts believe Germany $ plane capacity is greater than this now. The NaziS are not necessarily producing more than 2,400 planes every month, but they have the plant facilities to do so.
 It is known that the Germans are concentrating on new types; one a twin -engined fighter of 275O horse- power. carrying eight guns, includ- ing cannon. Another is new model of the Heinkel fighter; still another is a new four -motored ship of great range and weight-carrying capacity

 AS Governor of Indiana, Towns end stepped out successfully as a labor conciliator, negotiating a set clement of the Little Steel' strike in Indiana in 1937 But his job in Washington is something else again.
 All last year, from Indianapolis, he badgered the Defense Council to decentralize defense plants, and bring some into the Midwest. Now the OPM has way of taking its critics into camp, so Townsend is here as a member of the Plant Site Committee of the OPM.
