ceiling on all salaries above $25, ,000, but there is no provision permitting the President to limit incomes from investments Thus the man wh o makes his living through salary, can make only so much. But the man whose family accumulated a fortune, and who gets his money by clipping coupons, can receive just as much as before.
 Reason for this is the law passed by Congress last summer, giving the President the power to place a ceiling on salaries but not on
 mearned incomes
 The law slipped through Con gress partly by accident anyway. If some of the Old Guard Sena- tors had realized that the bill even went so far as to limit sal aries, they never would have passed it. But when they asked Senator Prentiss Brown of Michigan, in charge of the bill, whether it per mitted the President to place a ceiling on salaries, he replied,

SABOTAGE IN THE SENATE

Democracy took a knife in the back recently It was wielded by the Senate of the United States
 Nothing Adolf Hitler ever bleated his Axis tons in the democratic cause, especially the peoples of other races
 However it may be explained away by ashamed Senators this was vote for racism in the United States.
 The ant-poll tax bill is beaten. Beaten by filibusering minority and a spineless majority just as was the anti-ynching bill For the same reasons.
 In each case the leadership the same: Con- nally, of Texas; Bilbo, of Mississippi
 To end the filibuster agreement made to shelye the bill unless vote for cloture could be obtained Cloture is limitation of debate, which has been invoked only four times in 25 years, since it was put into the Senate rules in 19l7 after Pres dent Wilson denounced the little group of wilful men who rendered the great Government of the United States helpless and contemptible"
 The net effect of putting the vote on coture meant that two-thirds of the Senators present had to support the President, whereas the bill itself could have passed with bare majority. Moreover, many Senators who favored the bill voted against cloture because they regard their privilege to behave like windbags as more precious than the right of ma jority rule
 The Republicans stood by the President even better than the Democrats. Fourteen Republicans voted for cloture as against 10 opposed, whereas only 2l Democrats voted for cloture against 3l opposed

 That's this weeks S64 question, propounded by the Officers Club, in behalf of the Navy League and affiliated organizations Meade had the odd notion that officer was an officer. But it not Under Officers Club standards there two kinds
 (a) Male officers.
 (b) Female officers-who simply must be ac- companied by escorts else get the bum's rush at tea dances.
 This strange distinction not included in the broadcast at the Penn Army game, when the Officers Club invited "all officers to tea dance, at the Bellevue -Stratford.

We'll come back to that later
 And the Old Guard Senators for got to come back to it.
 So now having passed the limi~ tation on salaries, Congress was faced with the problem of either repeating the salary ceiling or placing ceiling on unearned in- comes. They didn't do either.
 The gathering storm was pres aged by Senator George, who de- clared that the validity of the salary ceiling was certain to be challenged by the new Congress.
 NOTE: Critics of the President are saying that he benefits by the present provision since his mothe, left him a considerable income from unearned investments. R 6 a ] truth, however, is that both FDR and Mrs. Roosevelt boosted tn e plan for an capitalized ceiling on all incomes, both earned and un- earned.

Because emotional instability is one of the accompanimentS Of war, the tendency toward sudden love affairs may be emphasized and for that reason it is wise for women of all ages to be on guard. the seers declare. According to reading of the stars American girls should be well-poised and impef- sonal in their associations with men Submergence of selfish aims is produced by true patriotism. Most girls will be too busy to think of romance, astrologers de- clare.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Freedom of the press will be discussed in its relation to business conSidera- tions where they seem to conflict with public service. Censorship will be more strict in the new year, astrologers forecast, because of i tremendous events in the war but newspapers will be in even greater demand than in the past. The cost of covering the global conflict will rise despite cooperation in gather ! ing facts Foreign correspondents will win fame as heroes.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: As young Americans of eighteen put on uni- forms, older men will prove most efficient in tasks especially as- signed to them. it is forecast The desire to serve democracy will be stronger than personal desires and selfish ambitions.

Geography which means so much in this Second World War has been studied by the Axis powers in the years when the United States took little interest in maps.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year in which there will be thrilling events and sudden changes. Both men and women should avoid dangers from fire or machinery.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be steadfast and coura- geous, intelligent and industrious. They will have changeful careers in which there is much success.
