 There long has been feeling on West Coast, strengthened by the recent statement of former United States Ambassador Joseph C. Grew. that the Midwestern and Eastern states not fully cogni- zant of the dangers of Japanese invasion into Amer- can territory close to home.
 The former German Ambassador, who also served as Ambassador to Tokyo in 1941, told a group of luncheon guests in New York that while Germany might be expected to crack under the strain of war the Japanese would battle on until they were com pletely crushed He warned that Tokyo has definite ambitions on this continent; that already it is nov ing in direction.
 West Coast residents awake to the Japanese danger long before Pearl Harbor living in combat zone many of them closer to the Aleutians than they are to Cleveland Ohio.
 Japan has built up her invasion plan over a long period of war with China She has perfected beach bases, and to invade from there. She knows been using this method of supply for her armies fol more than 10 years. Japan in short, has all the physical and mental background necessary for al invasion of Alaska and Northwest.

SYNTHETIC CHRISTMAS

This December 25 one year after Pearl Harbor - will be a wooden Christmas with a synthetic Santa Claus. The spirit will be the same. but the form will be different.
 Skates, scooters, sleds, electric trans, rubber balls-these will be scarce everywhere if not absent entirely Only the stores which placed their orders early las t January will have the usual toys, and these probably will be sold out by Thanksgiving 4
 Experts of the Commerce De- partment have made a survey of the toy situation. They find that three types will be especially short -rubber toys, wheel toys, an d metal goods.
 A WIPE order stopped production of children's bicycles last April. Velocipedes, scooters, baby carri- ages, "flexies"-all will be short. Clearly it will not be a rolling Christmas.
 Makers of electric trains are 90 percent converted to making ma- terials of war There may be 50 percent of the normal train sup- ply this year, but they are dis appearing fast. Ice skates and roller skates are almost dniobtain- able, and lead soldiers are practi- cally extinct.
 Meanwhile, warlike toys are appearing everywhere-toy bomb sights, tanks, bombing planes, and even bomb banks for the dimes and niekeis instead of the old piggy bank. e
 In all this there is one consola- tion-for the girls. The war has not disturbed the production of dolls, except those made of rub Der.

French Revolution
(New York Timesl


 Americans have been thinking of France in terms of vichy French and Fighting French. Our attention has been divided between the France that works with Germany and the Frsrre that joins it's old allies in open against the common enemy As active forces both these groups are small. Not more than five percent of the population follows Laval and his accomplices in the policy of eoaoora- tion and an even smaller fraction has been able to escape to swell the growing ranks of General de cTaulIes But behind these little groups loom more than 0OOO GOO Frenchmen people in exile at home proud nation molded above all others by the great traditions and free currents Of Western civilization delivered into the power of the storm trooper mind that first crushed all that wss humane and liberal in Germany and then set out to club the rest of Europe into submission to it's brutal and barbaric mastery

STILL STALINGRAD

Certainly Hitler has been forced to change his estimate of the value of Stalngrad several times now since his armies first began the attack
 A speedy victory would have meant quick route of the Red army and heavy casualties for the Soviets because retreating army's losses usually high. A speedy victory also would have meant utili zation of the huge industrial city for the Naz machine speedy victory would have meant ready made winter barracks for Nazis.
 A victory in few weeks would have brought swift exploitation of the Caucasus and rapid rein forcement of Nazi defenses in the west.
 Today probably the only value German victory could bring would be the morale value the home front. Hitler told the German people that Stan- grad would fall.
 His boast would have been made good Now the issue of Stalingrad seems to be which army will emerge from battle in shape to attack Hitlers forces have had their strength sapped con- sideraby. And the drain the Soviet troops has been huge
 But already German losses have been great enough to seriously handicap the German effort to come. And in addition, it highly probable that the Germans will not be able to set up a strong defensive line in Russia before winter takes over Hitler's forces may very well be facing another disastrous and demoraizng winter retreat with the Russians bounding them all the way
 Along with these losses of German fighting men Hitler must also face the hazardous task of keeping in line the non- German slave workers who now must carry Germany's home front production.
 The significance of this great battle viewed in the light of the tremendous losses by both sides now is not in the capture holding of the city No mere industrial city is worth the price paid in men by both sides for either holding it or taking it.
 Thus, the question of who will win is not going to be answered by who holds the city when the smoke clears away. The Germans may very well end up with Stalingrad in their hands-and at the same time, find that they weak that their capacity to wage war is reduced than their enemys

CREDIT TO DRAFT BOARDS

When Roane Daring of Memphis, Tenn, new commander of the Am erican Legion, called on the Presi- dent the other day, he heard some cheering words of praise for the Legion's contributions to the war effort, including it's activities to promote the sale of war bonds.
 Also, he received an assignment from the President.
 Few people realize what a mar vicious job local draft boards are doing" Roosevelt told Waring sMen and women on the boards have worked tirelessly. and with out compensation, to mobilize our armed forces. It seems to me they should be given some recognition. "
 Waring reminded the President that the Legion had helped to set up the boards and many of it's members had volunteered for ser vice on them. They work for nothing and are glad to do it." said the Legion chief.
 Why don't you get Legion posts throughout the country to call public attention to the great job these men and women are doing and the sacrifices they are mak-

FRIDAY. OCTOBER 1e

l rtblDAI, " ODLIb 1O
 Adverse planetary aspects rule strongly today which has threat ening portents that presage many public anxieties and much sadness among civilians.
 HEART AND HOME: This con figuration is most adverse to the best interests of women. It IS well to defer any business matter which requires the signing of le- gal papers It is not favorable sway for making any sort of con- tract. Girls should avoid saying 'Yes" to a suitor under this con- figuration which seems ill-omened for romance. The stars encourage study or technical training that will fit women of many ages for industry War industries will de- mand thousands of employees; for more will be needed in ali branch es of the armed forces.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Great ac- tivity is presaged for all coast cities as our shipping facilities increase amazingly. Trade win be good in inland cities and plenty of money will continue in circulation. Dras- 1 tic Government regulations will be- gin to have an effect in stopping imitation and Washington will plan radical measures for stabilizing wages and prices of necessary com modities, but until after election comparatively little will be accom- 1 pliShed. The high cost of living will be felt by Americans of all i classes.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Friction and conflicting opinions among Government officials of high rank will continue to cause bewilder- ment and anxiety among the peo- pie, despite efforts of the Presi-
 dent to assure unity of thought and widely directed purpose. Sus- picion that much is concealed or
 colored in departmental matters
 will be unfortunate in undermining
 morale at time when political
 methods differ and confuse. Off,
 cial news of the war will be well
 handled at the national capital
 but the stars seem to warn ot
 much that is hard to accept cheer fully
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
 Astrologers have foretold that the last months of 1942 would make history more narrowing than any
 hitherto recorded, but victory is foreseen in the steady advantage
 gained by the United Nations. Both Japan and Germany will learn day by day just what they have caused their enemies to suffer and they
 are to be ultimately almost oblit-
 erated, it is prophesied. They vii tbe spared the torture, starvation ? and barbaric cruelty inflicted upor : helpless nations because upholder. . of democracy are civilized, bu they will be defeated completely l and at frightful cost to both az gressors.
 Persons whose birthdate it i. . have the augury of year of ex- }. citement and varied hazards.s Botf ' finances and health should bt watched
 Children born on this day prob K ably will have eventful careers {. They probably will be mentally :. keen and physically active. e Copyright, l942)
