That means of course that the United States is to be the foremost of all countries after the end of the second World War. This has been often prognos- ticated since Hitler began his mad campaign to encircle the globe with Nazism.

HITLER'S HAND FORCED

There was just subject of conversation on the streets of Juneau yesterday the streets of every other city in the nation reached by newspaper or radio which could be counted in every quar- ter to raise lively discussion.
 That subject was, of course the Thursday night address of President Roosevelt, in which he warned Germany and Italy that they will enter waters de- tended by America lat their own peril"
 And just in every other town there were Democrats and Republicans, nterventionsts and iso- latonists in downtown Juneau, all willing and anxi- ous to air their personal reaction to the public declarations of FDR.
 In most of those street symposiums there was one fact that hardly disputed by either side.
 President Roosevelt said: Tt is no act of war to defend our shores and lanes"
 But the Presidents proposal to police the seas into which our vessels sail mean nothing short of shooting war for our Navy, if the Axis is sim cere in their war effort and mean to stop conveys of supplies to Iceland Britain or any other point
 If Herr Hitler is going to continue his war, he can hardly be expected to blast Britain from the Continent side of the isles and allow ships to repensh the British people with necessary war SUD- plies and food from side of their islands.
 So now Adolf, your hand has been called And if you've been sitting in the game with only small pair of deuces in the Atlantic should find out about it mighty soon 1 s.ss fa

ing defense expenses. Trade will be so brisk that few men in shops and offices will have time to think about financial drains. Prosperity will enable Americans to give gen. erously to relief organizations and again the greatest of democracies will prove it's love of all humanity.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Tolerance will be required of all who would prove their high ideals of Ameri- can citizenship Many forms of pre- judice will be conspicuous as in- coming tides of the World War arouse fear and resentment. The seers stress the fact that opportun- ity to demonstrate the real mean ing of democracy should be accept ed philosophicaily. Lessons learned in the first World War should be applied now, as history repeats it. self in communities large and small

 Their testimonials are played up as reasons for inducing the public to buy the book, together with the appeal Order These Pro-American Books But there is nothing on the Flanders Hall circular to say that these ro-American Books" are promoted by Nazi agents.
 PROMOTION BACKING
 Even more interesting perhaps is the fact that just after Congress man Day published his book under Nazi aegS, the Deutscher Weckruf Und Beobachter, official organ of the German American Bund, pro- ceeded to heap praise on it. "A practical handbook of information about the Anglo was the way the Bund described it, and how the cards are stacked by the Administration so the people can- not learn the truth"
 At about the same time Days book was played up by William D.. Pelley's Roll Call" which the Dies Committee has branded as a fascist organization. The Roll Call" of August II, just after the Day book was published, carried front page article Will Stephen A. Day Save This Republic?" while the issue of August 4 carried a long article on Congressman Day.
 At about the same time, G. AL lison Phelps, radio broadcaster in Los Angeles began plugging the Day DOCK over the air, reading exerpts of 1t and asking listeners to send hlm Sl.00 in order to obtain a CODY of the Congressman's book.
 Meanwhile Congressional Record reprints of Days speeches are be- ing mailed out by Christian Front and similar organizations, while the latest document to come from the Illinois Congressman is a question nare on war. This is a cleverly Worded ballot recently exposed by Malcolm Gingay of The Detroit Free Press. which has been mailed at government expense all over the country.

FLANDERS HALL

One of the most interesting things about Congressman Days activity IS the firm which published his book, It is called Flanders Hall: Publish CTS. Scotch Plains, N. J." lnvestl- gation proves that this is none other than the residence of Prof essor Adolf Eauck, instructor of German at Plainfield High School, the house being located at the cor ner of Flanders and Front Streets in Scotch Plains. No publishing or printing establishment is connected with the house.
 Investigation also shows that the children of Professor Haucks are registered at the State Department as the officers of the Flanders Hall Publishing Company and that they are financed by George Sylvester Vierick, who in turn is listed as the agent of Giselher Wirsing of Mun- ich. Dr. Wirsing is the author of the famous HOO Families That Rule the Empire, being severe casti- gation of Great Britain. This book also was published by Flanders Hall
 The interesting thing about these books is not merely the fact that they were published through Nag agents, but the manner in which they were subsequently, promoted by American isolationists and propa- gandists. some probably ignorant o! the Nazi connection, some appar- ently quite satisfied to be in thu Nazi orbit.
 For instance the publicity issuet by Flanders Hall lists several Sen. ators and Congressmen as boosting "The 100 Families That Rule tha Empire.R They are: Senator Hiram Johnson. R., of California; Senate Ed Johnson, D., of Colorado; Sen ator Aiken, R., of Vermont; ant

(The Seattle Times)
 Nothing reveals the demand for variety in the American makeup more thoroughly than the diver sty in forms of greeting with which this people passes the time of day circumstance which no doubt will completely befuddle future historians of language
 To mention only few of the common forms of salutaton, have Hello" How do you do?", and its variants including "Howdy?", and such more recent developments "Howya doing?", "Whadaya know?", "Hya?" and just plain "Hi?"
 Hello" is good form of greeting, but it seems inadequate unless you remember the other fellows name Too often you have to introduce some such crcumlocaton as Hello, there" when to save your life, you cannot identify the other per son. And the there" has further implication, as much as to say When did you get out?' suggest ing surprise that the fellow is still, again, at large.
 How do you do?", of course, is polite and re- spectful, but it has dangers. Before you know it, the other fellow may be really telling you and at great length, how he is and the recital will reveal that he is not well at all, depressing disclosure.
 No question in any language ever revealed a more universal lack of information than "Whatdaya know?" No one, it seems, knows anything. But this of course, is not astonishing. When a mere acquaintance asks you what you know in crowded elevator for instance, you going to impart the latest choice bit n front of lot of strangers? Not you. You become the sphinx.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER IS

Adverse aspects rule today. It is a favorable date for taking the first steps in important projects, but legal contracts should be deferred. Distorted views on public problems are likely under this configuration.
 HEART AND HOME: As the weeks work begins war news may be conducive to indecision where ambitious projects are involved. Even well-established philantllYo- pies may be temporarily halted. by unforeseen circumstances. Age persons in the family should be carefully protected from fatigue CT excitement, for the stars presage the close of many long lives. This is day in which women should pursue home tasks. College girls should forget love interest for book knowledge.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER IA

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER IA
 Although benefic aspects domin- ate today there are strong adverse influences. Under this configura- ton there may be veering of pub lie opinion regarding national poli- cies.
 HEART AND HOME: Women to- day are under the most favorable direction of the stars which is supposed to bring out their finest traits, stirring their hearts to broad sympathies and to definite personal sacrifices. Girls may be inspired by lofty romance which stimulates patriotic work. It is an suspicious date for meeting young men and for establishing friend ships. Aged women are fortunate, for they will. inspire the family to pay attention to church needs and church leadership.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Intense speed will be evident in all that pertains to defense preparations, for the end of the month is to make memorable history that will demonstrate our national peril in the World War. Generous giving for relief of war victims in, Eu- rope and Asia will set new rec-s ord In recognition of the universal brotherhood of man. China will benefit in way that promises much for the future when it will offer immense markets for the Am ericas.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Erasure of political prejudices will be more and more evident as the movement toward complete national unity con- tinues to gain impetus. Crystaliza- tion of sentiment will be beneficial to defense efforts, although through the month labor troubles may de- velop. The stars presage good luck today for women who enter indus try. They will excel in airplane tasks, it is foretold. This is a promising time for women work CTS of all classes.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR." France is to gain freedom with the victory of the democracies and will benefit greatly through the influ- ence of Generals de Gaulle and Weygand. Predictions of the death of Hitler will be recalled as the autumn advances, but astrologers foresee his survival in certain cir cumstances and they predict his insanity before he succumbs to a chronic disease from which he has long been suffering. Before snow- fall in the eastern states the seers prophecy that there will be defin- ite indications of Axis ultimate de- feat.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of gain that is encouraging for the future. It is well to be on guard against deception and imposition.
 Children born on this day prob ably will gain fair success in ar- tistic vacations. They may be in- clined to indulge in moods and should be strictly trained in self discipline.

FEDERAL BOARD
SETTLES DISPUTE

Rutland, Vt.-Fifteen organizations
of railroad employees won a substan-
tial part of their fight against arbi-
trary wage reductions imposed by the
management of the Rutland Railroad.
An agreement suggested by the spe-
cial mediation board appointed by
President Roosevelt on the eve of a
threatened strike of 1900 Rutland
employees, included a pledge by the
railroad to withdraw its order cutting
wages by 10 to 80 per cent. Basic pay
rates will be maintained except as
they are increased for lower-paid en-
ployees through future minimum wage
rulings under the Federal Fair Labor
Standards Act In return the labor or
ganizations which co-operated in the
struggle consented to voluntary de-
duction of per cent for employees
earning more than SIS week.
Back wages, due the employees be-
cause of past reductions, will be paid
if and when the railroads revenue in
creases to a certain point. The man
agement also agreed to consult with
employees before making any substan-
tial decreases in working forces.

ELDERLY WORKERS
ADVISED BY BOARD

Elderly workers who have reached
age 65 but who continue in employ
ment covered by the Social Security
Act may, in certain cases, increase the
amount of monthly checks which they
will receive later under old-age and
survivors insurance by freezing"
their benefits now, even though they
continue to work
This statement was made this week
by S. E. Stratton, manager of the So
cial Security Board field office in Ham
ilton, Ohio. Explaining his statement.
Mr.. Stratton said:
Monthly checks which are paid to
insured workers who reach age 65 and
retire from jobs covered by the Social
Security Act are based on the average
monthly wages earned in employment
of this character. Those workers
whose income from jobs is declining
will usually find it to their advantage
to claim their benefits, thus freezing
their average monthly pay, even
though they continue at work and can
not receive these federal government
checks until they retire from such jobs.
"For example, man who earned
$3.50 a month, as an average, up to
the time he was 65, and who could
only work part time, or had to take a
job at lower salary thereafter, should
file his claim now and freeze his bene-
fits. Then he will receive the maxi
mum to which he is entitled under the
Social Security Act, when he does re-
tire from covered employment.
"Our office will be glad to discuss
individual cases of such workers"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1941-03-21

"It is hoped that other mills will
follow the example of Ballard & Bal
lard and enhance the possibility of
enlarging the American Federation of
Grain Professors Council" the de-
partment said, adding:
Mr. Ornburn has continually urged
that housewives, especially among
members of Women's Auxiliaries, de-
mand the union label on all products.
He is especially anxious to increase a
quick demand for new product upon
which the union label is displayed.
There is nothing that will encourage
fair manufacturers more than to OBJ
tain increased sales Immediately after
they have signed union label agree
ment"
