 There seems to be entire lack of expert in Alaska situation which should be remeded at once. News communicated and originated in Alaska must travel all the way to San Francisco to the headquarters of the Western Defense Com mand and all the way back to be released Certainly the appointment of some person able to pass judg awkward delay. If all of the news is to be sent to San Francisco and released there, why have any censors in Alaska at all?
 Back to the general policy still fail to see why we should not give our enemy credit for ob- serving scenes of general knowledge They should be able to appraise accomplished facts well selves. It likely that the Japanese would get information from battle areas in the Far Pacific much speedier than get them in Washington, D. c. We are inclined to believe that the censors laying too much importance things in the past
 There is every to conceal future actions on the part of armed forces but to pull screen the past illogical. We also believe that there occasions when to risk the chance of in forming the enemy in order to inform the American public is wise Keeping up the morale is vitay inn portant in this

Robert Guthrie and two of his as- sistants because of the obstruc- tionism of profit minded dollar-a year men to all-out war effort Guthrie and his aides presented Nelson with a made to- order op- portunity to wield a long-overdue ax But Nelson doesn't see it that way at all.
 To intimates he has complained bitterly about the courageous walk out on the ground that it was a personal affront to him and an act of disloyalty."
 Nelson's apparent inability to get rid of fuddling assistants is a trait he shares in common with the President, One of Roosevelts chief weaknesses is his ncapacity to dismiss aides of proven incompet- ence.
 Note:- Friends, worried about Nelsons frayed nerves, are urging him to take a vacation He has been under enormous pressure for months.

MERRY-GO-ROUND

Wayne Coy, brainy young White House assistant is slated for a pro-
 motion. The ex-Indiana newsman will be made Assistant Budget Di- rector Coy will also continue as head of the Office of Emergency Management. Among those be- ing considered for high posts in the Man Power agency soon to be set up are Murray Latimer, chair
 man of the Railroad Retirement Board, and Thomas Murray, prom inent New York industrial engin- ger, close friend. but no relative, of CIO president Phil Murray. t. Assistant Attorney General Thur man Arnold's testimony before the Truman committee cn Standard Oils secret Nazi trade relations was a grim statement But one line drew a laugh. Sardonically Arnold remarked: We may well be grate- ful to Standard Oil for putting all it's arrangements in writing. That was very helpful to us in getting

WE MOVE FAST


 It hardly seems possible that it just short time ago that the Office of Production Management gently informing the American public that it would be necessary to eliminate all of the fancy chromium trimmings on new automobiles That was a blow.
 Then it wasn't long before the OPM announced that they were going to eliminate automobiles That another blow Then the OPM began to encour- age the purchasing of bicycles and Price Admins trator Leon Henderson obigingly helped 10 pubcise the new Victory velocipede by riding up and down before the White House for photographers on one of the contraptons-a black cigar in his mouth and stenographer in the basket of the bicycle
 Then the War Production Board ordered curtailment in the production of bicycles and also notified the public that from on, all fancy trim mings will be eliminated on the models Just like they did with automobiles
 Therefore it should follow that the WIPE will more bicycles produced for the duration It already has announced freezing of bicycles pending ratoning
 What can't see is why the government took long about telling the American people that they were going to have to walk We think we could have stood up under the shock Why didn't they tell that right at the start and get it with?
 If all Americans who should have equal rights in cycles, why produce few? We're willing to walk

months he has been WIPE boss, has accomplished much in bring ing order and drive into the pro- duction program. He has licked many tough problems and shown himself an executive of courage and imagination-except in ore vital respect. That is in failing to surround himself with assistants of top caliber and punch
 It was expected when Nelson took charge that he would purge the deadwood and worse that had made such tragic shambles of OPM. Instead, he took over the OPM high command practically intact. Further, of the few, changes he did make, several were worse than the officials they replaced.
 For example: Philip Reed glad handing. General Electric. mogul, had been anything but a shining success in several key OPM posts. It was an open secret that, one of his chiefs was trying to find a way to ease him out. Insiders took it for granted that Reed would be one of the first dropped by Nelson. Instead, to everyone's astonishment, the dawdling dollar-a-yearer was made head of the key Bureau of Industry Branches.
 However, nothing was said pub licly about this situation at the time in the belief that it was only temporary and that as soon as Nell son had disposed of more pressing matters he would clean up his staff.
 Note:- Among the nearly 300 dollar-a-ye men on Nelson's staff is Ralph Wolf, an official of Stan dard Oil of New Jersey, who is assistant director of the synthetic rubber section of WIPE.

CENSORSHIP

We're still crossing fingers and knocking on wood even after the beautiful announcement made by the Office of Facts and Figures the other day This announcement indicated that all war news un- less it is believed to be of benefit the enemy will be presented to the American people.
 This is simply reiteration of the basic prin- cipes upon which the censors have been acting since the beginning If the Office of Facts and Figures was attempting to answer any of the criticism which has been directed at the censors it failed.
 Nevertheless, step by step, we seem to be nearing a more sensible application of news censorship. But we still do not have the uniformity of rules of sorshp that we should have Rules applied in Wash ington D. G. frequently differ greatly from those applied by censors in remote in ruling what is and what isn't publshable These differences re- suit in the suppression of publishable in many instances news that a publication 100 miles away prints without any qualms. When the publication 100 miles away finds it's way to the community where newspaper has been told not to print certain things and these things are Haunted in the oblging pub fishers face it results in unfair competition and hard feelings.
 The censorship organization, if it is an organi- zaton seems to be composed of numerous censofS each of whom makes his own rules, often directly in contradiction with the practice followed elsewhere
 Recently The Empire was requested to do away with the practlce ot printing lae lapes' d SeiNiee that has been performed to relieve readers of the bother of looking into any of the numerous tide tables which may be purchased openly by any Jap spv who wishes This seemed like a senseless ruling. We were under the impression that most naval yes sels enemy or otherwise, have at least one expert navigator who figure out his own tide table in T short time without any difficulty Yet we com piled with the order, we have on all such requests.
 Newspapers to the south continue to publish the names Of vessels in port, directly against the cen sorship regulations long after The Empire compiled, and also tide tables
 There seems to be an insufficient haison between the Office of Censorship and the men who are sent any great distance from Washington, D. G.. as ser vice censors.
 Censors seem to be laboring under the illusion that newspapers attempting to publish vital mili- tarv secrets that would aid the enemy. That is mistake Censors also seem to think that newspaper

Although Kelly has spent only sl6,000 in the eight months of his program, Byrd, a loud economy clamorer, is "agin' it. y

"WEDNESDAY. APRIL 8

UntD late today adverse plan etary influences rule. The hours after sundown should be fortunate.
 HEART AND HOME: Women may be irritable and impatient to- day. The. seers warn them against scattering their energies and er- dangering their health. There is T sign read as thwartipg to their plans for public service but after long delays many in every state are to prove their ability Mon opoly of opportunity through politi- cal influence is not to be prevalent in the United States where there will continue to be democracy at work in small as well as in great matters In the new order prom ised after peace is established equal rights fer all will be recognized
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Architects and builders are to profit next year when unusual conditions will make far-reaching housing problem. Novel ideas are to be introduced to meet requirements of families in which all members are wage earners. Leveling of wealth and reduction of average incomes will produce changed social and econ omic standards. Class distinctions which were definite even in our democracy will disappear under wartime influences.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Lessons learned from Europe will cause great anxiety to protect American children from the evil influences due to war Careful feeding of boys and girls will be made possible by public funds. Scientific train ing will supersede haphazard rear ing, it is foretold. Inasmuch as the wealth of the nation is repre- sented by the rising generations youth will be treasured and it's highest values will be conserved. The nation of the future is to be made physically strong and mel tally superior.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: The dictator cycle of Uranus in Taurus and the war cycle of Sat- urn in Taurus will be succeeded by the effects of Saturn and Uranus Conjunction in the last degree ol Taurus. This conjunction, which will take place May 3, usually pro- duceS political troubles in the coun- tries ruled by the sign. It has been predicted that it will mark an en- tire change in the British gove, l. ment and constitution. Far-reach- ing reorganization and reconstruc- tion follow such a conjunction Thus peace is foreshadowed, al- though it is months or years in the future.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of ex- traordinary perplexities affecting domestic conditions or love affairs.
 Children born on this day prob ably will have unique careers be- cause they will be highly gifted but distinctly independent and indi- vidual.
