ACTION NEEDED

Having exhausted their supply of IA men, many draft boards already have been compelled to reclas sify apd call to service regstrants originally placed Der of men with dependents drafted will increase reach strength of 36OO000 men, most boards will oe dipping heavily into the 3-A pool
 This development ppoints to the urgency of giv- ing immediate consideration to bill sponsored by the War Department providing subsistence allowances for dependents of in service. This bill has been introduced only recently. Committee hearings have not been started yet
 Under the terms of the measure $20 month will be deducted from the pay of enlisted desiring to provide allowance for dependents The govern ment will contribute also a sliding scale beginning at $20 a month, the total amount to be determined by the number of dependents
 enacted the measure will not go into effect for four months The for the delay presumably the time required to set up the complex machinery necessary for the administration of such an allow system.
 Because it will take long to get this allowance system functioning, and because the number of men with dependents being taken by the services bound to increase sharply it is essential that Congress get to work on the measure at
 At best, it will take several weeks to put the bill through committee and get action on it in both houses Then there will be the long lapse before de- pendents of the men in service begin to get benefits
 The reasons for instituting some kind of allow ance system obvious and compelling. The need for quick action in setting up the system should be equally obvious

Conscripting Metals
Philadelphia RecordD

 The Federal Government has started sezing pri- vate stocks of precious metals--in big way
 Recently United States marshal served the War Production Boards requSition order Easton tPa) for 1000 pounds of high grade alumin- am ingots.
 Similar orders were issued for confiscation of 7S000 pounds of sheet copper held by New York establishment
 Tn both cases, the will be paid the Federal fixed price-for which both concerns had refused to sell
 But this is only glance at the picture. WIPE reveals that so far it has been able to smoke out more than a half-million pounds of best aluminium from private hiding and send it to smelters for up grading" scrap aluminium
 If the owners of these metals are peeved, as no doubt they are, they blame only Hitler and the United States industrialsts who by connivng at tailed production to keep prices up sent their try walking right into Hitler's trap.
 Thurman Arnold, Assistant Attorney General in charge of antitrust prosecution, has revealed how Htlers game Even when they knew that Germany was massing aluminium production, they stuck to their international territorial agreements-upon Hit lers promise not to release his aluminium output in competition with theirs.
 How did the trick work out for Hitler? Here's how: In 1892, Amercas aluminium output two and half times greater than Germany's. By 1888, Germanys 34 percent greater than ours!
 That's why Uncle Sam has been forced to resort to drastic to seize vital metals. If armed authority is necessary-then armed authority will have to be used, if we intend to win the

LOOK OUT FOR TRAPS

The Nazis expert trappers In their subtle style they have succeeded in trapping a good many Americans into thinking the way they want them to in spite of the fact that these Americans do not believe themselves be sympathetic to the Nazs in any way
 That is why Nazi propaganda is dangerous. The German agents know well enough that it would be impossible to convince any great number of Ameri cans outright that the form of government known Hitlerism is better than theirs Far from it. Their attempt rather is to divide and weaken us-both among ourselves and the Allied Nations.
 The whole Nad propaganda machine is intended to stir up quarrels and hatreds and doubts which would keep us from devoting our fullest energies toward the war effort We must never let this hap pen.
 One of the first things the Naz propagandists attempt to do is to create suspicion in our minds against Allies, England and Russia At the time the propagandsts seek to foster contempt against the United States in England and Russia
 They don't mind telling story six different ways in the day if it will further their ends In the United States they will preach that we are being by England that England will fight to the last American that we are foolish to support Russia and communism which will be the dominant world order if the Nazis lose
 At the same time they tell England that Presi- dent Roosevelt is conspiring with the Jews to take over the British Empire and that American troops in Australia and India for this purpose that these troops will leave if they carry out winning action. They say that elsewhere. the British have allowed American troops to take up posts where they will remain permanently after the is over. They say that Washington is the capital of the Brit ish Empire and that Roosevelt is making British troops die to set up American domination of world markets that the dollar chasing Americans freeze out the British.
 To Russia, they yap that Churchill and Roose- welt are working together to let the Russians wear themselves out in the while they sit back and give little aid, all the time planning to dominate the world when the is

Adverse aspects rule in te morn- ing hours but later benefic stars guide. This is a planetary govern ment that causes questioning re- garding church creeds but religious interest will expand in coming months.
 HEART AND HOME: Wartime regulations will increase the num- Der of churchgoers. Inasrnuch as the use of automobiles is curtailed, oldtime habits of observing the Sabbath will become popular The seers long have prophesied that closer relations will develop between the physical and the spiritual forces of humanity There is to be aware ness of the next plane of existence among sensitive persons and extra sensory perception will extend to many men and women. The study of astrology and occultism will en- gage wide attention. Mystics are to make valuable contributions to hu- man knowledge it is forecast.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: War con- ditions will cause Americans to dis cover ability to live on little income and to contribute generously to the United States Treasury. Bond buy ing will be greatly stimulated through the Summer. Generous gifts from wealthy citizens are fore cast. Imitation possibilities will en- courage strict economies and de- crease the volume of buying in a way that will affect retail mer- chants.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Special care of children will be one of the important duties Of state and nation in the coming Summer when there may be need of public programs of special significance to the citizen- ship of the future. The cost of milk VIII be widely discussed as increased prices are advocated. In the future refuge problem will add to the expense of feeding boys and girls of all ages.
