Victory for New Ideas
CPhiladelphia Record)

Philadelphia Record)
 To President Roosevelt, the nations thanks for his rescue of the Sea Otter.
 Uncle Sam is going to build Sea otters re- chrstened Seamobiles the President told Congress in his lend-lease message. The importance of that announcement from the White House transcendS even the importance of these new-type ships them selves Nrf
 Involved here battle between ideas and inertia; between inventors and brass hats; between national necessity and private privilege.
 The story behind the Sea Otter bears some frightening resemblances to stories of the official neptitude which played so big a part in the fall of France
 It is important that are going to build Sea- mobes-sma fast, cheap cargo, boats which are expected to be of great benefit in relieving the ship ping shortage.
 But it is even more important that the President kayoed those overage destroyers in human form who have been killing new ideas with terrific regularity since long before the day they courtmartaled Billy Mitchell.
 Tn essence, it is a victory for open -mindedness; for daring for experiment; for going all-out in ideas as well as in dollars and lives
 The Sea Otter-now the Seamobie-was scut- tied in infancy By brass hats hand; by in terests which, on the other hand interested in bigger profits from bigger ships.
 Tests of the Sea Otter were flop. Many be- ieved they were planned that way. Just as the brass hats tried every way they knew how to wreck the famous demonstration by Billy Mitchell-that a plane COULD sink battleship.
 When our shipping shortage became serious, the Sea Otter revived. And the influences which ganged up Henry Kaisers cargo plane pro- gram turned thumbs down again, the Otter.
 Only the intervention of President Roosevelt changed the picture.
 The President demanded the Otter be given a new chance that we try to make it success instead of laboring to make it failure As he suggested, development of the redesigned Otter handled through lend-lease-because the Navy had given it the
 So, the Seamobile-ex- Otter-wil be given a chance. It may be winner; may not But we need to find out This nation was built by Yankee ingenuity and is fighting Axis which has bor- rowed heavily from Yankee ingenuity
 And it's time to give Yankee ingenuity full chance to work for victory.

WORTH THINKING ABOUT

Writing for the Cincinnati Enquirer, Rear Ad- miral Yates Stirling, Jr, Retired, out with the bold statement that it is possible that produc- their first bombngs this winter the snow and bitter cold of Russia will release large numbers of Naz aircraft from the Eastern front"
 He points out that the Germans Heinkel IT. reported to be in full production, is long range bomber capable of crossing the with 1000 pounds of explosives and returning without refueng.
 A 35-ton plane, the Nazi bomber a maximum 70O0-nile range, a top speed of 300 miles hour is fitted for dive bombing with brakes each wing On 2OOO-mile flights it carry eght-ton bomb load
 In all probability, Germany may be expected to resume heavy bombing of England in the early win ter months. But the bombing of the Eastern United States at the same time unbelievable The comparatively small bomb load then, would make such raids seem uneconomcal and useless and unless carried by many planes, the damage would be slight
 Here, the West Coast. however, Germany seems far away Just Japan may far away to those living the Atlantic Coast But the Japs have already shelled the Pacific Coast and sent at least plane Oregon.
 Modern warfare eats up distance. The East Coast could be bombed from Germany It is a pos sibility worth thinking about, and to be pre- pared for Admiral Yates statement may be one to help enlistments in Civilian Defense Units along the Eastern Seaboard

flee of Price Administration has been notified that the due date for non-cost of living reports has been extended until November 15, 1942. This action was taken at the request of Mrs Hermann for the benefit of Alaskan retailers, most of whom are seriously handicapped due to the present labor shortage.
 Excepts Fresh Foods
 The new order" Mrs. Hermann pointed out, places under control more than 90 percent of the food supplies used by the people of the United States. Still on the except ed list are fresh fruits and vege- tables, but very little else" Ut is expected" she added, that reg ulatiofls covering these products and fixing their prices on a sea- sonal basis, will shortly be issued"
 "The regulation is of sweeping importance to every consumer in Alaska" Mrs. Hermann said. It should be noted, however, that this is temporary regulation and a permanent regulation will ultimate ly be worked out on the basis of wage stabilization, that may change the prices somewhat. With practi- cally everything now under con- trol, the consumer can be assured that prices cannot rise substanti- ally, and once the details of control of these previously excepted items are worked out, there is every req son to believe they will decline ma terially, she stated

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 8-Royal Air Force fighters half hour away" failed to go to the aid of British battleships Repulse and Prince of Wales when they were attacked and sunk by Jap airnaen in December, Admiral Thomas Hart asserts in his article in the Saturday Evening Post of this week.
 He cites the battle support as an argument against the maintenance of separate United States air force.
 He said, We never heard why RAF fighters were half hour away. They gave Admiral Phillips no help whatever In stating this, 10 crjti- cism of our gallant ally is intended"
 Admiral Hart said, however, that we should use our own way in soIv- ing our own problems and that the British way does not look good for our purposes. Mi
 Hart commented that Jap air power is not separate entity but "a part of the Army and a part of the Navy" and has proved itself highly able. He said the Japs show. ed us an example of high duality amphibious var

 However, what Wallgren did not reveal was that certain tyles of U. s. bombers being used in hl- aska leave much to be desired.

 Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day which should be fortunate for persons in intellectual vacations. Women are well directed.
 HEART AND HOME: Under this configuration romance will flour ish. Nasty courtships will again multiply and weddings will be numerous. Many family circles will be much smaller than they were last year and domestic arrange ments will be adapted to war con- ditions. Again the Seers predict that there will be no servant prob lem in the United States where wo- men of all ages will be employed in factories and housekeepers per force must be their own cooks. The simple life will be more general than in the past.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Labor dis agreements again are presaged' Public resentment because of lost working hours will flare suddenly in demands for even more drastic regulations than any previously proposed The seers remind em- ployers and employees that the sign of Libra encourages justice and equality. Wonders will be performed 1 by industry where prod u t. O n reaches amazing volume despite ob- stacles of various sorts including disputes supported by selfish un- ion leaders.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: In many states the political campaign of bitter contest will become violently active now as party principles are represented and misrepresented. Candidates will be assailed in se- cret ways as well as in public speeches Newspapers will resort to old time tirades of abuse and even the radio will become a means of indirect attack upon public men. If the stars are rightly read votes will be surprisingly loyal to men who now hold high offices.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Better understanding of the sep arate characteristics of the United Nations will be gained as every day affords proof of the unity of pur- pose revealed by Britain, Russia and the United States. There are portents of tremendous drives that lead to victory which appears far off Omens of heavy prices to be paid for the defense of liberty are seen in the horoscopes from day to day, but certain success for the United Nations is prognosticated
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of suc- cess. Unusual romances and special friendships are indicated.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be lucky all through life Early success may be unfavorable to balance of character, for botf boys and girls are likely to be ex- traordinarily talented.

was depending almost entirely on PBY patrol observation ships for bombing expeditions on Jap beach, heads in the Aleutians. These ships have such a slow speed that they are easy targets for anti-aircraft fire at low attitudes.
 As one pilot interviewed by Tru- man investigators put it. when PBY encounters a Jap Zero fight CT its like a goose being chased by a hawk" Result is that Navy bomberS must soar to an altitude of 10000 feet in raids on the Japs as Kiska, too high for effective bombing
 The PBY is perfectly all right for observation duty, and we would have no complaint if the Navy used them only for that purpose, !" a member of the Truman sub committee reported. But it is totally unfit for combat opera tions."
 The Navy has bombers far su- perior to those of the Japs, but for some reason they are not being used in Alaska, the subcommittee reported On the other hand, the Tru- man investigators were enthusias- tic about the Army bombers they saw in action, with one exception the B-26. This plane has been in a number of crack ups because of it's high landing speed. -
