(Clncnnatl Enqulrer)i H gs In wartime, the sole consideration is to get pro- ducton and get action. For that reason, the goy- ernment has turned first to the biggest producers in each field. They be more useful than smaller concerns, and they get natural advantage. But there always danger that the great corporations combining quasi-monopoistic power with wartime opportunity may emerge after the war with extreme competitive advantages not really earned

 Higgnss contract was cancelled on the pretext that there is not enough steel. His own explanation is that "oldine" shpbuilders themselves controlled by steel companies do not want the competition of his streamlned methods which would be cheaper.

CORRECTION

Millions of householders, air raid wardens firemen and others interested in the protection of American homes from fire bombs have been told by the Office of Civilian Defense that the proper way to take of an ncendiary bomb when you find one in your attic is to apply fine spray of water to it. Never said the OCD, if you value your life, were you to douse the bomb with solid stream.
 Now we are informed by Director of Civilian De- fense Landis, solid stream is after all, better.
 Technical experts tell us that the reasoning is clear The so-called electron thermite bomb is filled with mixture of powdered aluminium and iron oxide. A detonator sets this off the bomb hits, and it burns for about minute at temperature of approximately 5000 degrees Fahrenheit. Then the magnesium casing ignites and burns for about 10 to Is minutes. one-mnute fire is obviously pref erable to 15-mnute fire
 The spray method first used in England and adopted here because it thought that solid stream would cause the bomb to explode throwing molten metal all over the place. Further research and experience now show, according to Director Landis that this danger is not great and is offset by the gain of time
 You. can't quarrel with technician. But it seems that any of the OCD officials could have experi- mented bomb with an ordinary garden hose and found out the truth in a few minutes. Why did it take the OCD so long?

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not cO7npeP'
TUESDAY, AUGUST Il

Benefic aspects rule today which should be fortunate for aviators. Labor is subject to the best plane tary influences.
 HEART AND HOME: Wise eco- monies in the household will be studied scientifically by American women of all ages. Interest in cooking, long foretold by the seers as of paramount concern, will be fall fashion. Vacations in the country will have developed farm erettes of real ability. When many hearts are heavy in the conscious n6es of losses of relatives through war casualties, hard work will prove boon. This month will present tests of fortitude. New plans should be carefully worked out.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Transition from long established methods of finance will affect United States banks favorably when adjustments are wisely made. It has been long foretold that this country will dom mate the world commercially and the seers warn that the power resting in capital and splendid nat ural resources must be directed with the aim of universal justice. When peace is attained ancient in justices must be eliminated.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Politics will be more apparent in the Washing ton scene from this date and there is a sign that seems to indicate unusual bitterness in number of Congressional contests. Women will work in the autumn campaigns, but few will have ambition to be candidates. Records of war votes will be prominent issues in many states and it is foretold that many representatives will not be re- turned to Congress.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR :: There are promising aspects for the United States Navy today. This i is interpreted to include increased efficiency Of our submarine war i fare. More of our ships may be lost before the end of the month, but the general outlook for the future is most reassuring. Gradu ally the might of the nation is con- centrating and victory should be apparent before many months have passed This year is to show the trend, but time will be required to make total defeat the lot of the Axis powers.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of up- heavals which will not be unfor- tunate even though they may cause discomfort. Love affairs are fore cast.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be extremely independ- ent and self sufficient. They may be high-tempered and difficult to direct, but they should have the qualities that win success.
