HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not compel"
SUNDAY, JUNE IA

Benefic aspects rule today hich is fortunate for the clergy and leaders of thought in lay profes- sions. It is date suspicious for pa triotic gatherings.
 HEART AND HOME: The pene- fits of religion will be more widely recognized than in previous years as men and women turn toward the solace offered by the churches. Young folk who formerly passed Sunday in outdoor recreations now will seek the sustaining comfort of faith in spiritual things for many will have sustained losses and suffered separations that bring sorrow. This is a fortunate day for forming new ties with centers of religious teaching. Occultists will gain students.
 BUSINESS AFAIFRS: Western states will profit this week through development of mining properties. Manganese ores of high grade will be discovered. Large amounts of money will be put into important mineral properties which are to prove profitable to owners as well as useful in Government projects Munitions will be produced in greater quantities than visioned by the most optimistic planners in Washington. Cities will continue to show prosperity in many lines of business.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Apparent neglect to take notice of subversive agencies still active in the United States will cause anxious comment. 1 The stars warn of grave dangers in places not yet discovered by Sec ret Service employees. Within Gov ernment offices the seers declare espionage is successfully conducted along novel lines not hitherto em- ployed. Telephone switchboards and office elevators may be manned by spies, astrologers declare. While the danger of cultivating suspicion is pointed out the seers read in the stars of strange perils.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: The Russo-Japanese alliance may reach a crisis, for there is an as- pect presaging tests for interna- tional agreements of all sorts. Treaties may be overlooked, accord ing to the Hitler fashion. Moscow will be watched with new concern by the Axis powers, who will add to physical conflict the power of in trigue, propaganda composed of false statements, and diplomatic ef- forts to undermine the Soviet Union. An unpleasant surprise of some sort is presaged for Russia.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of gain but fraud in business matters is pos tsible. Caution is advised.
 Children born on this day may be supertalented but high-Strung Good fortune is prognosticated.

ADVERTISING AND WAR

The frequently asked question: How valuable is advertising during the perod?" is answered by an official authority in the current of Domestic Commerce the weekly publication of the Department of Commerce An article by Nathan D. Golden, industrial consultant for the department, points out that advertising is of increased importance during the emergency.
 In times such as these advertising plays dual function and has both public and commercial value As MT Golden points out, one of the major roles of advertising during wartime is to provide nforma- tion to those fighting the home front and in the production field and promote the more efficient use of products by civilians" Another major function the one of more strictly commercial value-Mr. Gold en describes that of keeping alive brand names and maintaining the stability of products for bene- fits to be gained during the postwar period
 The application of both functions of advertising is to be seen on every hand today. Industrial and commercial advertising has been of immense help to the civilian public during bewidering period of change-of forced change in buying habits and civ ian consumption No longer novelty is the ncon- gruous sight of an advertisement which urges the public to less of a manufacturers product, or to conserve it, as a means of aiding the national war effort Through the medium of advertising all lines of business have made very worthwhile patriotic tributons toward the efficient organization of our war effort They have used advertising for or public information many occasions without thought of direct indirect benefit, though benefit they do by having done their bit in this effective way
 In these days of crowded events the commercial value of continual public reminding of brands hardly needs to be cited. The postwar period in- evitably will be of confusion and reorientaton and the manufacturers who have not permitted the public to forget their products will have immense advantage in recapturing improving upon their prewar positions in the markets The wise business man will agree with the Department of Commerce publication that advertising is of greater im- portance in wartime than in peacetime

MONDAY, JUNE 15

This Is an unlmportant day in planetary direction but Venus rules in benefic aspect. There is a sign de- noting anxiety among the people of the United States.
 HEART AND HOME: Wom n are well directed on this first day of the week. It is a time to push all plans and to utilize every op- portunity. Girls will find romance awaiting them. It is a fortunate we'd ding day but warning is given that small deceits may cause trouble This should be lucky date for workers in Government positions. While heroines will be decorated for bravery in Army hospitals many young women will perform courag- eous deeds that are never recog- nized, but the feminine patriot will be oblivious to praise.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Gradual elimination of luxuries will reduce the purchase of costly trifles and unnecessary possessions but retail merchants will continue to prosper. Summer resorts will profit from this date because many persons who are not employed will desire to escape from daily contemplation of war conditions. Bus lines will profit greatly and so will some railways. Yacht clubs will be closed and fishing will cease to. be pastime.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Educators who relinquish their work through the vacation period will hold con- ferences on changes in study courses. To meet the changes in postwar world sweeping revisions of text books must be made. Chemistry as well as history will add thrilling conventions where discussion of necessary restrictions and altera- tlons in our American way of life will be protracted.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS. Severe bombing will continue from time to time along Englands coastal areas but United States aircraft Will greatly aid in repelling Axis assailants. Churchill is to succeed

SENSITIVE TRAINERS

That secret huddle between Sec retary Morgenthau and the senior members of the House Ways and Means Committee, following his critical radio speech on the mutil- ated tax bill wasn't as harmon ious" as Chairman Robert Dough- ton afterwards claimed
 Doughton opened the conference with a sugary statement about his high respect" for the Treasury chief and their friendly relations. Then, glancing at a transcript of Morgenthau's speech, the veteran North Carolina Congressman de- manded.
 Just what did you mean by that too little and too late remark, MT. Secretary?"
 T certainly meant no reflection on this committee or it's work in drafting the tax bill replied Nor genthau. T am surprise any such inference was taken. It was, well, CT Just something to pep up the speech"
 But Doughton remained unsat- isfied.
 You were quoted in the news papers the next day" he persisted that the speech was intended to prod the committee into action Is that true?"
 Tt certainly is not true" replied Morgenthau, adding that what he had said was to the effect that he hoped the speech would help keeE the committees eye on the Treas ury's tax goal.
 T am glad to hear your explan- ation, MT Secretary" said Dough- ton, but while we are on the sub- ject, we spould get one thine straight. This committee hasn- been guilty of any delay in pre-

can take it. But there is more in- volved than that. Our rubber re- serve is at stake and unless you take the leadership in this fight, we are in real danger of being stopped in Congress"
 MacLeish heartily seconded Hen- derson, The OFF chief declared that the Presidents unfortunate statement had hurt morale and that the whole gas and rubber prob- lem had been badly mishandled.
 "The people are patriotic and they will readily do whatever is deemed necessary to win the war" he said. But they have got to be told clearly and frankly what is wanted of them. The public simply does not realize that gas has to be rationed, not because of a shortage of gas, but to save rubber That's the message that must be got over to them, and, MT. President. you are the only one who can do it now"
 Roosevelt took the plain-talk in good grace and agreed to do what ever was the best course. All the conferees were strongly of the view that a "fireside chat" was the best answer, and MacLeish was directed to prepare a memorandum for a presidential speech.
 tSince the above was written, the President has declared an inten- sive campaign for the collection of scrap rubber, this campaign to start June IS and continue through June 30).

in overcoming attacks from time to time by members of the opposition party. Good aspects of Jupiter pro mise strong power of the United States will cheer the British people through coming weeks in which the first light of dawning triumph will appear, dimly at first but stronger as the weeks pass.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year when there will be happiness in the family despite wartime changes. Finances should be watched.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be intense in their emo- tions, mentally keen and exception ally talented. They should be most carefully educated.

Legislators Go Home
As Congress Quits
Without Fanfare
New Phase in Fortunes
Of New Deal Seen
In Next Session

BY the Associated Press.
The Seventy-seventh Congress
was homebound today after almos,
two years Of continuous work.
Adjournment was taken without
fanfare late yesterday with only 9
handful Of members on hand te
make and hear the customary hal
and farewell speeches.
Most members had left Washing.
ton days ago for q three week rest
before returning January to launch
the Seventy eighth Congress on q
legislative voyage that promises tc
be As stormy as its predecessor
Careers Ended.
For more than 100 members. yes
terday's lackluster session brought
an end to legislative careers, some
of brief duration and others, like
that Of the veteran Senator Norris
Independent, of Nebraska, of long
standing.
Many observers viewed the ad-
1ournment as beginning of a new
phase in the fortunes of the New
Deal, for the new Congress will
number among its members the
largest array Of non-New Dealers
since Franklin D. Roosevelt became
President.
The November elections sharply
shook the legislative balance. In
contrast to the 262 Democrats and
166 Republicans who started in the
House of the Seventy seventh Con-
gress, there will be 900 Democrats
and 208 Republicans in the new
House, with one Republican vacancy
Minor parties hold the few remain
ing seats.
In the Senate, the administra-
tons balance of power was less
disturbed by the elections, Demo-
Gratis losing eight seats and Repub-
licans gaining nine, including that
of Senator Norris.
The Senate lineup for the Sew
enty-eighth Congress will be 81
Democrats, 80 Republicans and one
Progressive
New Deal Opposition.
Rumblings of opposition to many
New Deal policies were heard in the
dying days of the Seventy-seventh
Congress, and it was virtually Ger
tain that the Republicans, aided by
anti-New Deal Democrats, could
stop any New Deal legislation and,
If they wished, wipe off the books
some statutes ALREADY there.
Facing the new Congress, among
other things, is the task of financ-
ing war against six nations. This
presaged fights over new taxes and
appropriations, and already under
way was determined drive to
slash all OUTLAWS for non-war. pur-
poses.
Developing also was a fight over
the powers of Government agencies,
especially the Office of Price Admin
istration and its director, Leon Hen
derSon.
With presidential election in the
offlng, politics undoubtedly will play
a large part in the new session.
Some optimistic members believe
the Eighth Congress will
have the task of making world
peace, and from both Democrats
and Republicans have come asser-
tions that Congress will demand an
important place at the peace table.
While officially adjourned, the
Seventy Seventh Congress will carry
