British War Reading
New York Times)


 British authors and publishers are not excessively cheerful at present Paper and other materials are scarce and high Taxes heaven-hgh. Noses may be as thick at the booksellers windows, but too few go in Yet books continue to be pub lished Buyers are found The lending libraries are always a backlog Practically everybody not too old or feeble is doing his bit The his is fault due to the prmness of grammar A great company of English girls and is hard at work in field and factory and all over the place.
 Correctly or not, the feminine side of the house is supposed to be the most persistent reader and of fiction only. Anyway, what is the literary bill of fare in these days? The National Book Council issues British Book News, lists of recent publications. Forty subjects included from agriculture to zoolo gy Evidently it has been the deliberate object of rest and change from the work and worry of war.

Days in Old Spain" The Dickens World" Goethe and the Greeks" English Night Life Music in the Middle Ages" English Custom and Usage would be a refreshment and relief after so many days of somber war news "Lifes Little Oddities gives hope that the eccentrics still in bloom.

MORALE DEPARTMENT

major item in building and maintaining the morale of armed forces is being discussed in Congress. The proposal to double the starting pay in the army and to all other grades up to first lieutenant has received the approval of a Senate military subcommittee.
 Under the plan, private would begin draw ing SAP instead of $2l5 month. A private first class would get $48 corporal $60, sergeant SIS, a staff sergeant $96 a technical sergeant STA and n master sergeant $l38
 The Navy also would receive similar increases Second lieutenants and ensigns would have their salaries increased from $ 800 to 1900 year.
 It is estimated that the plan would cost $225,- 100000 a year on the basis of the present army In the final cost of the war, this amount would be a minor item
 We aren't attempting to say that fighting men are fighting for pay. If they were, there wouldn't be any fighting men. But if is going to be good soldier, his morale and fighting ability would be helped great deal if some of the worry and discontent could be abolished If he knew that his dependents could be taken of little bet ter that would help great deal too.
 If anybody is to be taken care of in these days the wives and families of the married men who soon will be wearing uniforms should be provided for
 Congress also is considering bill for allow ances in matching Federal funds for soldiers dependents.
 What we can't see is why these bills are requir- ing much discussion. Congress wasted time in pushing through recent bill now repeaed) that would have provided pensions for Congressmen. Ger tainy these bills important.

Let's Be Fair
(philadelphia Record

Philadelphia Record
 viciously unfair attack on the Roosevelt fam fly was made recently by Representative William T. Pheiffer, from the 18th Congressional tGas House) District in New York City. ., s .s
 Pheiffer said that Lieutenant Franklin D. Roose- vet Jr, receiving favored treatment" from the Navy. Why? Because Lieutenant Roosevelt received months leave after appendicitis operation; the Gas House oracle also said of poor families would not receive similar treatment.
 Now The Record does not believe the Roosevelt family is above criticism.
 But in this instance Pheiffer simply does not know what he is talking about
 A spokesman for the County Medical Society points that if man is doing hard physical work, it is four to six weeks before he should go back to work after routine appendectomy. Certainly life on destroyer, where young Roosevelt has been as signed is one of extreme physical hardship
 Naval physicians say leave of two weeks to two months is usual after such an operation.
 As for young Roosevelt's commission he got it the way any other man would-as Pheiffer could have found out easily enough He had four years of ROTC training at Harvard and a member of the Naval Reserve he made two summer training cruises.
 We all have the right to criticize. But let's be truthful and at least make attempt to be fair.

HOROSCOPE
 "The stdrs incline but do not compe"
FRIDAY. MARCH 27


 Benefic aspects rule the morn ing and evening but the hours be- tween are under adverse planetary influences. Neptune again is in kindly sway.
 HEART, AND HOME: Books now will absorb attention and the public libraries will be patronized more generally than ever before writers will profit, although much of their work will be, of transient value. Money previously spent on clothes end on entertaining friends will be used for periodicals and the movies. Desire for release from present day realities will be manifested in pat ronage of art galleries and in gard ening. &, sse.6 Ie r3
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Counting on victory for the Allies many far seeing financiers and bankers Will promote plans for civic improve ments as well as for new mercantile enterprises Signs of an early end ing of the war will be seen in small pains next month but astrologers predict long period through which there will be conflict. The extent of the world war is so great that months will be required to over come, lingering efforts with arms by Axis sympathizers.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Investiga- tion of the early associations of intellectuals who are serving in Government positions will continue to cause embarrassment in Wash ington. Liberals will be misjudged and reformers will be under suspi--. cion but patriotism will be proved as wearing many guises.l Among Americans loyalty will rule. Mis- takes in youthful thinking may be stimulating to later attainments in public service, the seers declare.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Canada, Mexico and parts of South America are. now under planetary influences conducive to harmony in war aims and in economic policies. Next month will be marked by wide spread financial efforts to assure abundant financial resources, The Western Hemisphere is to accom- plish a program of defense, of such broad scope that it will be im- pregnable There will be attempts at invasion but all will be Tepelled, it is prognosticated. The stars presage titanic struggle in which the Allies demonstrate growing power.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of hap piness. The family will enjoy pros perity. There will be domestic har- mony and the young will court and marry.
 | Children born on this day prob ably will be affectionate, studious, generous and talented They may be lighthearted, but able to win suc- cess.

This column has received hundreds of letters from workers everywhere strongly approving compulsory ac- countings of the millions they pay in dues.

UNREPoRTED spEECn

For more than a week the halls of Congress have echoed with heated demands for legislation abol- ishing the 40-hour week and pro- hibiting strikes in war plants. These speeches have been widely reported.
 But there was a speech made in the House the other day about which not one line went out. As far as the public is concerned, the speech was never made. But if youIl turn to pages 2687-91 of the Con- gressional Record you'll find the hottest, most sensational charges heard on Capitol Hill in a long time,
 The speaker was Representative Clinton P. Anderson of New Mex lco' who was successful business man before he came to Congress These are the bombshells- mys- terlously which he tos- sed:

 Reason: The manufacturers fear that such a law would be applicable also to them and, apparently, like the labor moguls. they don't want the public to know where the Asso- ciation gets it's money and what it does with It.
