Russian Policy
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 The mischevous rumor is being spread about that our greatest danger in months just ahead is that of separate peace between Germany and the Soviet Union The argument is made that Russia is not get ting adequate assistance that Moscow is bitter be- cause second front has been established and that Soviet leaders consequently feel obligation to carry on the war if they can negotiate a settlement.
 Such rumors are damaging in several ways, for they tend to weaken American morale to foster distrlst of our strongest ally, and to encourage reduc- tion of the aid we are giving to the Soviet Union. There is no foundation in fact logic for such suspicion. Russian leaders have just much incentive to fight to complete victory have the British and Americans
 Soviet leaders would be the first to pay the full penalty if they chose to make negotiated peace. And Russia would be deprived of her richest prov inceS if peace were made under present conditions. The Russians whether refers to the mass of peo- ple or the Communist party members or the leaders of the government, have less incentive to stop fighting short of victory than have their various allies.
 It is argued sometimes that the Russians made a deal with Germany once and might do so again. This ignores some obvious facts Russia in 1889 feared that if she tangled with Germany the British and French would remain neutral. The whole picture is changed today The Soviet Union is certain of the continued support of Britain and America.
 For somewhat different motives perhaps, the three principal powers at war against Germany are fight ing to win. None of them may agree completely With the others on some postwar problems. But all are fighting for survival independent nations That is incentive enough to prevent any such trea chery as separate peace short of complete victory 1------- ...f We see where dentist somewhere installed full gold crown on one of his dogs teeth and said he was better behaved than most human patients We'll he probably amused himself by thinking about the dogs he was going to sink his new tooth into

 In normal times Norway had state church, the Evangelical Lutheran This means that it received revenue the state and that it's clergy inally designated by the King. To Quslng and his employers the system ideal, and they immediate ly took steps to put Naz appointees and NaM ideas in control The Norwegian churchmen, having to choose between the Sermon on the Mount and naz- ism did not hesitate Last March all seven of the Bishops resigned after Quising had placed his creatures in the pulpit of the Trondheim Cathedral In April it was reported that the entire Lutheran clergy of Norway had resigned though continuing hold divine worship. Now five Bishops, and one dean who speaks of the imprisoned Bhop Eivand Berg gray, have met in Oslo to constitute provisional church council independent of the Quisling state !" They say, among other things:

 The President, busy with other things, had remained in the White House. But after the address, Mrs. Roosevelt led the way to a White House limousine at the Senate en- trance to the Capitol. Suddenly she stopped, noticed someone in the back seat.
 Darling, this is thrill!" ex- claimed the First Lady. T didn't expect you here.'
 Apparently the President had planned at first to drive alone in hls own car to the Washington Navy Yard, where he was to pre- sent a new submarine chaser to Queen Wilhelmina's exiled govern ment. But changing his mind at the last minute, he decided to drive to the Capitol, pick up his wife and the Queen, and drive with them to the Navy Yard together.

ROUGH ON RATS

When Attorney General Francis Riddle said in congratulatory message recently to J. Edgar Hoover You have built up from nothing extraordinarily able efficient service for detecting and punishg crime throughout the United States" he almost spoke the truth.
 He forgot to mention, however, that the Federal Bureau of Investigations services extend beyond the limits of the States to Alaska and other Territories
 The terrible speed with which the of the eight Nazi saboteurs punished for their crimes is the latest example of the FBIs service
 When the present Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigator first became associated with the De- partment of Justice 25 years ago the famed FBI was only minor governmental investigative group MT Hoover became Assistant Director of the bureau in 1919-and began to dream of making it national law enforcement agency which could begin where the conflicting limited authorities of state and local police left off. His chance to head the bureau came in 1924 when the noted William J. Burns resigned the directorshp
 At that time however, the need for national law enforcement agency still not widely appreciated The few agents of the FBI had little authority to fight crime Their activities narrowly restricted to matters in the province of the Department of Justice.
 Prohibition gangsterism during the latter 'twenties soon began to show, however, that there crime problems which local and state authorities found yond their capabilities There arose evil lot of arch criminals who laughed at state boundaries and local law enforcement agencies Then came the kid napers And in 1884 Congress began to give MT Hoover the things he asked for to do the job. In series of anti crime bills it empowered FBI agents to carry weapons, make arrests and asume jurisdiction in crime which impinged upon Federal inter- ests
 It is now matter of history what excellent use MT Hoover made of his authority and his opportuni- ties. He developed and trained staff noted for in- compatibility, fearlessness and almost fantastic effi- ciency. Throughout his management, MT Hoover has fended off political control interference in his bureau With scanty appropriations Considering the size of the task he and his agents have rid the

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compeW
FRIDAY. AUGUST IA

|
 This is not an important day in planetary direction, but benefic as- poets are active. It is promising date for starting new projects, es- pecially mercantile enterprises.
 HEART AND HOME: Women who are employed may discover that the date is fortunate for their promotion. Girls will benefit great i ly today by seeking advice from father or older brothers. The seers stress the fact that this is still a mans world in business, politics and finance. It is promising date for starting the fall shopping ordeal, l but the girls who wear uniforms will be relieved of the usual quest for everyday attire. The stars, i however, appear to incline those who like to win mems approval to wear picturesque dresses aft r working hours.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Retail merchants should have busy and profitable Autumn, despite war conditions. Many persons of wealth will spend money lavishly on the i principle that postwar changes may cause uncertain values, while wage earners will have full pocketbooks Imitation must be prevented by more vigorous Governmental meas ures than those that have been moderately successful through the Summer, the seers warn.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Motion pie ture stars who have set an inspir- ing example to Americans by their splendid patriotism will continue to contribute generously to war needs of many sorts. There is sign read as warming that fifth column agents will pursue them in coming weeks. Distinguished foreigners will renew old acquaintances with Q view of spreading enemy propa- ganda. Italian spies will be most successful, because least suspected. ! it is forecast.
 l INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Success of our forces who fight with the United Nations may be sensational before the end of the month. The aspects for the United States presage much good fortune Mars rising in Leo is promising and Neptune is in the house of money. This means much bond buying and large tax returns. There is an adverse sign for the Presi- dent and his Cabinet. All should safeguard their health. The White House should be especially watched through the month.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of some good fortune, but there will be an- xieties. Changes and nervous strain should be avoided.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be intense in nature and impatient. under guidance. They should have varied talents and ability to employ them successfully. i Copyright, 1942)

SURPRISE FOR MRS. ROOSEVELT

Queen Wilhelmina's visit to the Capitol. to address a joint session of Congress, gave legislative leaders some uncomfortable moments. But for Mrs. Roosevelt, who accom- panied the Queen, there was an unexpected thrill" provided ly the President.
 Due to a mixup, the Netherlands ruler was escorted into the Senate chamber ahead of time and had Vice Presidents rostrum while to sit for several minutes on the waiting to go on the air. The brief interval, during which the silence was so impressive that YOU could have heard a pin drop seemed like an hour to the as- sembled members of Senate anc House.
 Senator Tom Connally of Texas chairman of the Foreign Relations Noiiliilittee, Squlrmed uncOmfOrt- ably, whispered to Senate Majority Leader Alben Barkley:
 This is alarmed poor timing. The lady shouldn't be subjected to any, thing like this"
 Tits awful agreed Barkley, with frown.
 But the Queen didn't seem tc mind. She sat, perfectly poised III a chair next to Representative Sol Bloom, House Foreign Affairs chairman. When Bloom leaned over and explained that there would be a slight delay 'sbecaust these radio broadcasts have t operate on schedule" she smiled
