 That favorite of the tax collector for decade and more-the automobile owner-is about to come in for some new attention from the Federal Gov ernment in the form of tax stamps which must be affixed to windshields. The revenue program, designed to raise $5 per year per automobile, is called an automobile tax Stamps bearing the likeness of the Liberty Bell to be sold through them by February l.

SENSIBLE CENSORSHIP

Americas new Office of Censorship" starts out well Its "code of censorship issued for newspapers, magazines and other purveyors of the printed word, is so reasonable that no one can take serious ex- ception to it.
 Censorship is inevitable in wartime because n- formaton-at least certain kinds-s a weapon in the hands of the enemy.
 In effect the regulations laid down by Director Byron Price and just received by The Empire, do not go much beyond those already in operation In cases, the press thus far has leaned back ward to avoid publishing any which might be harmful.
 As Price himself says, the task is not easy. Not because editors will be overburdened by the extra vigilance but because there is and possibly always will be- wide differences of opinion as to the kind of information that is harmful and the kind that isn't
 One benefit of the Price code is that it specifies, in some detail, what his office believes should not be printed. But as he himself says, there will be stories and pictures in the borderne of dispute-and these he urges be resolved by "commcn sense"
 That the press will cooperate fully with the Government goes without saying Most newspapers today wide awake to the realization that this is all-out war, and that business usual" can no obtain in their offices than it can in others
 
 censorship The press keep out of print what should not appear
 But it is quite important that the Govern ment be equally vigilant in seeing to it that the public is given all the news which can possibly be told
 In article by Fletcher Pratt military expert. received by The Empire in the same mail as the censorship regulation, Pratt says that our military censors being strict they harm morale. AS he notes:
 There is point at which suppression of news loses value-the point where it is more important that our own people have news than that the enemy get none"
 Pratt goes on to note that our people have only the haziest accounts of the battle in the Philippines the glorious fight of General Macarthur which will go down of the greatest of our military epcs Says Pratt:

AS top man in the House, Speak CT Sam Rayburn acted as master of ceremonies when the President delivered his annual message 10 Congress, but one feature of the program was a complete surprise to Rayburn. This was the tribute to his 60th birthday, secretly ar ranged unbeknownst to Rayburn by House Par i m taria n Lewis Deschler. Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, who observed his 84th birthday the day previous, looked weary when he entered the cham ber on the arm of e-President Wallace but was as exuberant as a college cheer leader when he ap- plauded, at the finish of the ad- dress.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
FRIDAY, JANUARY 30

Benefic aspects are active to- day which should bring to cul- imitation many plane long promot- ed. Large returns are indicated for projects in which there has been an element of risk.
 HEART AND HOME: Training for active war service will attract large numbers of girls who have college degrees and ability to suc- ceed as nurses, chemists and die ticians. Older women will concen- trate upon knitting and the mak- ing of needed garments for war victims. Many homes will become centers of activity where many aids for wartime living will be discussed over sewing. The mothers and wives of the nation will prove their pa triotism in courageous acceptance of the menace of world conflict which threatens to be close to the nation in the early spring. BUSINESS AFFAIRS Merchants will be wary of credits through the winter when communities large and small undergo changes Cash puf- chases will be encouraged, as the old custom of partial payments becomes less widespread. Thus Am ericans will begin their lessons in thrift which is more or less obliga- tory. Housekeepers will buy largely of many foods, although the prac- tice will be drowned on. Saving of paper, string and other things com mon in everyday uses will be worth while.
 NATIONAL ISSUES Luxuries will be reduced as the public spirit gains ascendancy and the people realize the real meaning of war exigencies. There is an aspect which seems to encourage criticism of any display of unnecessary possessions. True democracy will inspire simple modes and manners. Hotels and restaurants will continue to profit as the winter ends, for there will be much travel and many changes from houses to apartments.
 FOREIGN AFFAIRS: Astrologers foretell that in the Battle of the Atlantic Britain will make great progress. American aid this month will have proved most successful. Action of our ships from Labrador southward is foretold as fortunate, although losses in naval engage ments on both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans are prophesied. Next month is to be period Of intensive preparation for the most daring exploits and new heroes will be acclaimed.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of in creased anxiety and activity Travel and changed environments are forecast.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be quiet, dignified and highly gifted. They may be quick tempered and tenperamental.

 NOTE Also not mentioned by the press release was the fact that Walter Reuther, dynamic young president of the United Auto Workers, had outlined a complete program for the rapid conversion of the industry to war production by pooling tools, patents and equipment. Knudsen and the plant owners do not favor any pooling arrangement. But Reuther's speech, the clearest made, drew big hand from the Army and Navy officials present.

 Again the OPM masterminds went into a huddle-out of which came a compromise about which everybody is in doubt.
 Management says it goes too far: labor says not far enough. OPM is hoping for the best. Meanwhile the war rages fiercer in the Pa cific. But the auto industry, great est single producing force in the U.S.A., is not much nearer corl- version than before the conference.
 NOTE: After the conference the auto labor leaders told influential members of Congress that no com inittee would accomplish anything in converting industries to war pro- duction as long as dollar-a- year men remained in control of OPM.

the best designs for planes and ships
and tanks and guns, so we must
seek for methods of creating men OF
new type. No peace conference,
no agreement of statesmen can
accomplish this. We shall have to
enlist, in this unparalleled siege Of
Mansoul, the forces that have
proved themselves able to transform
the character of men and women,
turning the bad into good, the good
into better and the better into best.
The Society of Life Changers.
Thus we are brought squarely up
against the Christian Church-the
greatest life changing agency of all
time. History is clear upon the
record of the churchs ability to
transform the character of nations
and races. Her message does some
thing to the inner nature of per-
son. 1t makes him over, from the
inside outward, so that the crooked
become straight, the impure become
pure, the covetous become generous,
the selfish become brotherly, the
unjust and oppressive become fair
and benevolent and the unhappy
find the dove of peace singing in
their hearts.
BY the evidence Of what it has
already done in changing mems
way of life, we know that the COM
prehensive and revitalized church,
with her dynamic gospel, can ac-
complish the wonders required, in
this present emergency, to set up a
new order of life. Above all other
agencies. it is the duty of the church
to effect the revolution that lies
ahead of the world. Here is the
society of e-changers.
A minister of the gospel who was
also a brilliant author and a notable
diplomat, DR.. Henry Van Dyke,
summed up, in brief poem, the
requirements OF citizenship in the
new order:
-Four things a man must learn
to do,
If he would make his record true: -
To think without confusion clearly,
To love his fellow men sincerely:
To act from honest motives purely,
To trust In God and Heaven Sc
