to be an appointment with the Sec retary of State. Grace returns to the task of mail for 30 seconds. Then a form fits past the French doors opening on the garden. It's Mrs. Roosevelt passing along the portico to peep in, hoping to find the President alone.
 Grace meets her through the French door. No, he's not alone. y she says. Its Leon Henderson"
 The First Lady, with adhesive tape on her chin, turns back. Never mind" she says. ''I'll see him at lunch"
 What happened to your chin?" asks Miss Fully.
 "Oh," says Mrs. Roosevelt lightly, T scratched it. George Fox (White House pharmacist) thought he ought to bandage me" She disappears.

HARRY HOPKINS AND GEORGE VI

The phone rings, and Grace prom ises somebody to attend to some thing. By now, Henderson has gone, and Capt. McCrae slips in. Next comes the Secretary of State, but not through Grace's office. This is strictly a stage door entrance.
 Next at the stage door is Harry Hopkins. Can get in?' he asks. Grace opens the Presidents door and hears the high rasping voice Of Corden Hull
 Hopkins spies a new bust of King George on the desk What in heav- ems name is this" he says, and crosses to chuck the King under the chin. He strides out of the room to wait his turn for an interview. At this point, Grace Fully leans back in her chair and remarks that her job is a three-ring circus. For fourteen years she has worked with the President, before that with Car dinal Hayes in New York, Tt was quieter then" she says with a sigh.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5

Benefic aspects rule the morning hours today. There a sign prom ising to the Navy. Threatening portents are seen affecting the Army which may escape from trap of some sort.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are under adverse planetary influ- ences today. Depression and ap- prehension may affect mothers and wives Of men who are battling for liberty, but the stars presage steady progress toward victory that will benefit all the nations of the world Girls Will be happier today if they do not think of romance. Those who are in uniform should be ex- tremely carefub for under this configuration accidents are num- erouS.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Warning is given that the spirit of specula- tion may affect many women as well as men. Although the stock market is not likely to go lower this year than the zone created by the lowest mark since 1938, the wise will resist the lure of possible large scale profits. The year 1942 is dominated by cycle caused by the conjunction of Uranus and Saturn, both making a Urine to Jupiter. Thus a major change in world affairs since last May is ex- plained. Danger of sharp de- cline in favorite stocks is foretold.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Gasoline and rubber restrictions will be keenly felt this month as widening business responsibilities cause in- creased demand for independence in transportation. Crowded public carriers will cause wide discomfort and discontent. Bicycles and self propelling scooters will aid many workers but the horse and buggy will become each a week more desirable possession. Patience IS the best safeguard against unhap- pineSs and faultfinding.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS United Nations are to have great success as the month advances, but there will be heavy losses of men and materials including airplanes and ships on the seas. Tokyo con- tinues under evil aspects, which bring invasion possibilities, or at least more attacks from the air. Japan is to have new enemies, which may mean that one of the Axis nations will change it's atti- tude of friendliness. There is also presage of earthquakes and de- Structive storms that add to Nip- pOnese troubles.
 Persons whose birthdate it $ have the augury of good fortune, unless nasty decisions and unwise changes are made Men in the service of the nation should be lucky.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be studious, talented and generally successful, although there may be certain mutations of for tune.

Argument For Change

The World Calendar Association of New York sees the coming holiday as good argument for it's claim that there should be something done about systemat tizing our calendar. The organization has been proposing to do that for some years past now. Unfortunately it looks as if the war might seriously interfere with it's plans as one of the selling points in the last couple of years was the idea of getting the new calendar off to good start in 1944 when the first day of the year falls on Saturday. which would become world holiday, allowing the year to start actual ly on Sunday.
 Most people are more or less familiar with the new calendar reform as pro- posed by this active group. There are twelve months as now, but divided into equal quarters. Each month has 26 week. days and either four or five Sundays. All holidays would fall on Monday which would eliminate any jumping around the calendar for the movable ones. While this may not seem like convincing req son for such an important thing as a calendar, still it has appealed to num- Der of different nations and has even been brought up in our Congress.
 This year Memorial Day falls on Sat- urday and will be observed then, but per haps not so generally as in past years. The defense effort can't slow down for holidays any longer. Of course under war conditions perpetual calendar like the one proposed wouldn't decrease the in- dustrial tempo, but Monday holiday has more appeal commercially than one. on Saturday, always regarded as a good trading day.

A Thought for Today
Prodigious Is the Word

The Democrat had something to say the other day on the proposed plan of collecting all federal income taxes at the source of payment. Tn short there would be weekly or semi-monthly deduc- tions from mans pay envelope to cover what would be necessary as an install ment towards his income tax for the cur rent year. The idea sounded to us like one in which Uncle Sam was shifting tre- mendous job and responsibility on the shoulders of thousands of employers.
 And that's just about what the Hart ford Courant believes, too. Listen to this "The bookkeeping involved in this system would be prodigious. Every house. wife who has a servant working for her would have to go through it. Every man who changed jobs would have to keep track of his receipts as well as notify each new employer of his status. Every sales man working on commission basis would have the same headaches and be- fore the year was out there would be some persons deprived of purchasing power they sorely needed but couldn't have re- funded until the time for filing re- turns :"
 And the woes and worries that could develop from such system are all-in- elusive. Theoretically it may seem like stlre-fire method of controlling spending and thus preventing imitation, but the accompanying dose of medicine is much worse than the cure.

to win the war. But certain elements on the other side refuse to forget, and mind their own businesses. They are determined to ruin verybody who differed with them before Pearl Harbor. These believe, or pretend to believe, that in addition to the few actual traitors and crackpots in our midst, there is "a great group of Ameri- cans somewhere in some dark corner who want defeat"
 Lik Herbert Hoover, we have not heard of a single American who wants defeat. We all want victory So the next time somebody differs with you on anything about this war except as to the one vital issue-victory at any cost-why not pause, before you brand him as an ap- peaser, compromiser, defeatist, fifth col umnist, sixth columnist or pro-Nazi and ask yourself two things: First, could it be possible he is right? Second, since he is wrong, could it be that he is merely the victim of an honest error of judg- ment?

Self-Appointed Monitors

Herbert Hoover's plea for freedom of criticism, in this war effort, can not be brushed aside cavalierly with the retort that such freedom is under less restraint in this country than in any other. That is true, of course. It is equally true that, except for few instances where sedition appeared to exist, the Roosevelt admin istration has leaned over backward not to act against persons or publications which were bitterly hostile to almost everything that is done in Washingon nowadays. But to dismiss MT. Hoover'S discussion on these grounds is to miss his entire point.
 Nowhere did the ex-preSident suggest, by renoteSt implication, that he felt that the federal government was using its power to Squelch critics. He did attack that "war intolerance at the hands of self-appointed persons and organization" which "has already, in five months, risen to great heights" He denounced name calling and "the Sadistic and higher art of abuse-that is, smearing."
 There is an enormous diversity of opin- ion, among our 130 millions, as to what we ought to do and how we ought to do it. That is democracy. Its suppression would be totalitarianiSm. There are those who thought, very sincerely, that we should not get into this war. Some felt our. every venture into Europe's quarrels had resulted disastrously for us and, in the long run, had done no good for any, body Others felt we could defend our selves, if attacked, but could not turn the tide of battle againSs the. axis.

In con- vention of their own the other day they made plans and presented potential can ditateS which are expected to prove of some importance to the entire party in the determination of the state ticket. The Young Democrats, like great many others, seem to think that former. Post master General James A. Farley would make the best candidate for they place him at the top of their list. Others in the gubernatorial category are Lieut.. Gov. Charles Poletti, State Atty. John J. Ben nett, Jr., Henry Morgenthau, Jr., Thomas J. Watson, president of International Business Machine Co.,, U. s. Senator James Mead, Adolf A. Berle, Asst. Secre- tary of State, and Owen Young. There are few new names in this group. But the Young Democrats didn't stop with that; they listed "formidables" for every position on the ticket. With such rank ing they surely can't go wrong.

Britain's Holiday

Britain had 8 holiday yesterday. It spent the day at home. Whit Monday was day of general rest throughout the British Isles by the doctors order. And it was actually day of rest, because few, if any, British people can do any travelling these days. Once upon time WhitSunday and Monday were great holi- days for them Trains would be thronged with pleasure seekers; highways would be crowded with busses and pleasure cars. But not in 1922. There weren't any trains, special or regular moving along the rails from the big cities to the resorts. They had surrendered right of way to freights and troop trains.
 There wasn't car on the road except those driven for military purposes. The gasoline rationing in England is a real one in that you don't drive your car save on the most urgent business of the king dom. Down on the south coast all the re- sorts that lured crowds in bygone days are strictly closed. Even the natives of the region have been evacuated to a safer place This is strictly no mans land save the soldier or the sailor or the flyer. But the nation probably had good time eel ebrating at home It was home still. And safe as we are on the other side of the Atlantic we might think bit about this as we grunble over our own plight and our sacrifices.

Within few months electricity will be rationed out here in Connecticut accord ing to all reports. Canada is due to see it put into effect by the fall and the general opinion is that much of New England will also find it's power supplies doled out along about the same time. New Eng land and New York expect to be. told they'll have to help out Canada in the crisis and if we start to export to Canada our domestic consumption will certainly undergo somewhat of drop in order to prevent any shortage locally, particularly in the defense areas. Domestic and com mercial users will have to do the most sacrificing.

NOW'S TIME TO WIPE OUT FORGEIGN LANGUAGE PAPERS, CLAIMS
 WRITER

Waterbury, Conn.,,
 May, 25, 1922.
 Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 A main source of keeping alive the spirit of affection for the homelands through the medium of propaganda, at the present state of war, is the German and Italian, foreign language news journals, also Japanese. The foreign language prints were ably seconded by the Coughlin Social Christian front Journal. There are various other papers and pamphlets which in dis torted English language use the finger of suspicion to cast reflection on the war policies of the United States and Great Britain, Russian and allied causes.
 German and Italian language news prints pursue policy of false and covert resemblance of loyalty tc Democracy. The fact is they are poisonous pro- Nazi and Fascist news sheets that for many years have planted the seed of Facis1n and Nazi-ism in fertile ground of theil readers. who are guided by the voice of the editors of those foreign language sheets, who know how to arrange the news in the opinion ated foreign policy of the publishers who are serving the vested interests of the foreign language press II keeping the readers intact. They are biting the hand that feeds them to keep foreign language alive.
 There Is no necessity for a foreign language journal to survive in the United States other than by excuse to serve hyphenated cause which in Democracy is not essential, anc should not be tolerated. A foreign language press has been a detrtmeni for many years and has prevented aliens from becoming educated ir the English language, thereby de. feating the alien from becoming ar adopted citizen.
 The alien language press hal shown itself by editorials printed ai an ally of an alien government.
 Especially at this period of a wal of survival, the opportunity is ript to prohibit at least for the duration the alien enemy foreign language newspapers. All English language journals with Axis editorial synD' patheis that approaches seditlon 1T print against the state, less grave than treason or insurrection, shoulC be tried under our laws that g0VeTT l language og seditious character. we should nof allow our loTalfs io ql3 uHissa ztai.s fp1 fns e'l'sE

cause to be stampeded by appealing to sentiment rather than reason at this time, for what cannot be classed otherwise than the German Italian and Japanese alien enemy propaganda within our borders, that is reinforced by naturanzed and native stock who make a dangerous menace of such proportions that extreme measures should be adopted to silence all attempts at propa- ganda.
 You have to differentiate between Peace and War. We should cut short the life of foreign news prints that are but auxiliaries of Facism and Nazi-isrn, as they are inimical to the cauSe,o of Democracy, and keep alive the spirit of the so-called Axis New World order. The German and Italian language press has been tolerated as 0 nuisance for decades but now tolerance ceases to be liberty, when the nuisance becomes enemy aliens of the Axis type
 Our national law enacters have been warned for forty years of the danger of allowing foreign language news prints, hyphenate American political clubs with other alien pro- vineial societies, to exit. It has now proved that they are but auxili- aries of racial solidarity which ma terialize into Quisslings of fifth col uInn activities for the cause of Fa- cis1n and Nazi-iSn.
 The majority of adopted citizens no doubt, are opposed to hyphena- ton of their citizenship, but the ac- tivities of a strong minority of half hearted citizenship is a menace tc principles of Democracy. The. allied war of survival will proce bless ing in disguise, as it will abolish totalitarianism and cemet loyalty tC democracy.
