RUBBER STAMP CONGRESS

This latter view has been rever- berating all oyer the country. ac- cording to reports brought back to Washington People feel that what the Government needs is a good strong Congress to keep an eye on things, in other words a reversion to the Founding Fathers original idea Of checks and balances.
 A lot of people felt that with a few more Republicans in Congress there would be more scrutiny of the way the war was going They have resented the manner in which the Democrats accepted every Roos- evelt recommendation sent to Capi- tol Hill. including the nomination of a Boss Hague friend to be New Jersey judge, and the friends of Harry Hopkins to be brigadier gen. erals.
 NOTE: Perhaps even more than the public realizes, Congress has ab- dicated. For instance, one of the most sacred prerogatiyes of Con gress is the appropriation of money. But today, after Congress appro- priates for certain government agency, the Budget Bureau steps in and orders those funds not to be spent. This is a complete violation

POLITICAL CHAFF.

Worst criticism heard around Democratic headquarters since cleo tions has been against Leon Hen derson, who handed political pat ronage to Republicans, and against Harry Hopkins, who made the re- mark that it didn't make any diff ference who was elected The American Labor Party is still sorer than boil against FDR. After getting them into the race for the New York governorship, he pulled out. However, with 100000 votes, the Labor Party definitely holds the balance of power in New York City. Some Democrats think that the November set-b back was blessing in disguise-the only thing which could wake FDR up, .,

"COTTON ED" SMITH

A novel suggestion on how Sena- torial eloquence might be impound- ed for the war effort was offered by South Carolina's elder, anti Roosevelt Senator, Cotton Ed Smith, during debate on the 18-l9 draft bill.
 His mustaches bristling, Cotton Ed" charged that efforts to defeat an amendment prohibiting 18-year- old inductees from being sent over seas until they have one years training, were inspired by the White House.
 We had just as well adjourn and go home, if we must take the man date of band at the other end Of the Avenue" Smith shouted, add ing, amid gales of laughter, T thought we cooperated. but we co and they operate"
 Warming to his subject, the gar rulous South Carolinian asserted 1 that government agencies spent a great part of their time drafting orders for Congressional rubber stamps to say, Yes, sir to-"
 That is all we are doing ragged Smith. The presiding officer, Sen ator Lloyd Spencer of Arkansas, tried to restrain the hilarity in the galleries If we could convert into actual rubber the artificial express sion of rubber stamps here and convert all this gas into actual gas there would be no shortage of gaso- line or rubber"

our subscribers who ask Why don't you print things
 like this?"
 Recently we published an article about the Es- kimos of the Boring Sea region and how they are being organized members of the Alaska Terri toral Guard like article had been in the hands of the Alaskan public relations organization for more than two weeks, being passed from one office to another where none of the officers had the nerve to take the responsibility for releasing it for pub ncaton.
 Well, when we heard from a reliable source that Life Magazine would be coming out soon with the whole works, that enough for
 The first thing that is wrong with Alaskas PROS is that all. of them will lean over backwards on the side of rejection instead of publication This is certainly the easiest way out not the wisest
 The main thing that is wrong with them is this. They simply do not have sufficient faith in their abilities public relations officers take the sponsbility of passing on any story which mentions anything about the war And that goes for all of them have seen, from the least important blue penciler up to Capt. Luther Meyer at head quarters
 We have tried to cooperate But that hasn't helped. Our subscribers have been deprived of good many fine and harmless article because we cooperated. We have just about reached the end of the rope
 We are tired of having our stories junked with a. message from ADO headquarters that I've are referring your request to higher source Perhaps asking too much to expect that every public relations officer in every town in Alaska where there is newspaper decide on whether to re- ject approve without asking help from higher up
 But Isn't the Alaska picture of enough impor- tance, and aren't Aaskans important enough to jus tfy the appointment of chief of public relations at ADO headquarters who knows his stuff and has the ability to decide without passing the buck all of the time?
 We could give you enough examples to fill this page. And we might do this day if something isn't done.
 We get few stories about Kiska now and then only to have hopes aroused falsely. These rare periods when the stories arrive are always spaced by long periods of silence. Maybe nothing is hap penng during these periods of silence. Perhaps the weather is too bad for activity. All right. If this is the case tell us about it. We understand the part about the weather.

HOROSCOPE fl "The stars incline
 but do not compeP'
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15

Adverse planetary aspects rule powerfully today which may be marked by disappointing reports from Army and Air Forces
 HEART AND HOME: Churches should be well filled today. The stars presage general turning to religion as a shield against anxiety and sorrow. Interest in many cults will be widespread Again spiritual ism will gain credence for science will investigate phenomena re- corded by prominent writers. Even orthodox church members will real ize that the distance between life on the Earth plane and the next $ negligible.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This week in the commercial world may be noteworthy for stock market vaga- rieS and disturbed price levels. As Thanksgiving draws near the Am crican love of celebrating the holi- day will overcome good resolutions and plans for motor trips for fam fly reunions will be almost as general as in prewar times. Trade should be brisk in wearing apparel and especially in warm attire. War worries will be forgotten an d theaters will profit greatly
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Astrologers warn that there is danger of in- difference to bombing perils be- cause of too many practice alarms. They urge residents of the United States, east and west, to continue their vigilance since there is an evil portent that may mean an- other surprise attack on the west ern coast. It is emphasized that aspects merely suggest possibilities or tendencies which must be wisely interpreted Again it is repeated that surprises are to be expected.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Egypt inevitably will undergo dras- tic changes in the next few months, the seers predict. Explosions and stubborn fighting may be expected Religious principles will influence many engaged in the conflict which may be long drawn out and ex- ceedingly costly to the Allies. Suf- fering in Italy will cause further undermining of Mussolini's power Further humiliation due to Hitler is indicated.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good fortune although business or pro- fessional relations may be unsatis- factory. Health should be safe guarded
 Children born on this day prob ably will be clever and popular, able to succeed if not too much interested in romance.

 HEART AND HOME: Members of families not already in war work should prepare themselves for eff ficient service. It is indicated by the stars that there will be draft Ing of women under 40 while those who are older will be accepted as volunteers wherever they may be useful. At this time even the most careless American must realize how stupendous our part in the war is to be Tn coming months.

 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Corpora tions will continue to prove patrio- Iishl py forgetting individual in- terest and cooperating in the best ways to serve the urgent needs of the United States.
