WHITE HOUSE BARRACKS

AS Cordell Hull looks out of the windows of his office, he sees trees being trucked away from the park just south of the State Department, and a steam-shovel digging founda- tions for something.
 A kibitzer watching the steam shovel shouted to the operator: Whats going up here?"
 "Huh?" said the operator.
 What are you building?"
 T don't know" he replied. q never heard nobody say"
 And he resumes the business of digging up the park.
 The answer is that barracks are to be built here. to house soldiers de- tailed to guard the White House. State Department, and Treasury buildings. At present, the men have to come all the way from Fort Myer, across the river.

War Air Transport
(New York Times)


 Our commercial air transport system, built by the foresight and courage of private operators into
 service unparalleled anywhere else in the world, is now to feel the full effects of total war. To judge from an announcement by the War Department, as yet not fully clarified the lines will lose half of the planes remaining to them aft,r he recent transfer for war use of 25 percent of their equipment. Some of the liners now be alocated completely for mi tary use will be transferred directly to the War De- partment for operation by Army personnel for var ous services and commands The airlines themselves are to convert about seventy planes into cargo car riers which they will continue to operate with their own personnel under contract for the Air Service Command Those transports which remain will oper- ate on new schedules with emphasis on trunk ser vices possibly under pooling arrangement Prior ites for accommodation these ships will be still further extended in order to space for mill tary and war production travel The air mail service will be curtaed and, of course, limited to the new routes to be laid down Probably it will have to face still further curtailment.
 One may be sure that the air transport operators will respond periodically to the call for the new sac rifices which they are asked to make When the war is over and victory has been air transport can look forward with confidence to development far beyond the most visionary expectations of even a few years ago The seeds of this development ger inmates in the war itself The universal ocean of the air has brought us gobal war Its aftermath cannot fail to be global air service for men, for mail for cargo.

CITY APPROVES SCHOOL BUDGET
 FOR NEXT YEAR:

The City Council last night stamped it's approval on the city school budget for next year as ap- proved by the school board and presented by Superintendent of Schools A. B. Phillips. The Schools bill in the $89,695 total budget will be $39,400, 5000 more than last year.
 MT Phillips said that five teach CTS will be cut from the staff next year, but that those remaining will be paid $500 year more for the duration, or as long as living costs remain at present levels. This will mean that instead of 34 teachers next year, 29 will be employed. and the minimum salary will be raised from S1 300 to $2,lO0.
 The new contracts will contain a clause allowing teachers to be dismissed on 30 days notice, in case further retrenchments are neces- Sitated.
 The total budget calls for S4,00O more than last year. Repairs have been cut from $4,20O to $2,2OO. MT. Phillips said it is possible that the city will get additional funds from the Territory for schools later.

The Unsuitable Marblehead
(New York Times)

(New York Times)
 There was a Marblehead in the United States Navy during the Civil War; another during our war with Spain in 1898 later converted to do honorable service as @ schooshp; and there is, every one was re- minded recently, a cruiser Marblehead in this war The Japanese did their very best to alter this sua- tion off the eastern coast of Borneo on February they hit her with two aerial bombs killing fifteen men, setting her afre, and disabling her steering gear A third bomb smashed underwater sections of the hull near the bow. The Japanese assertions that they had sunk were not true but they came near being.
 The Marblehead into an American East Coast port under her own steam. Some difficulties had been encountered during her long voyage home. On her way to her first emergency stop, at Java, she leaked badly that the crew had to form bucket brigade to keep her afloat As far as her next stop, at Ceylon, she had to be steered by her engines All the way home she would have been an easy prey for submarines and weather, but she got here.

A Blow To Private Rights
(Cincinnati Enquirer)


 Reviving proposal killed last year by vote Of the House of Representatives, the Ways and Means Committee has recommended change in the revenue laws to require joint return from married couples. The reason given for this action is simply that 1t will produce $500 900 of additional revenue. There is no other argument for it.
 As was pointed out in these columns last year, such measure would be direct and fragrant in vasion of the private rights of the individual and ity of women Many married women have their own incomes from their work their property Their right to that income is recognized by law. Yet the scheme proposed by the Treasury and now endorsed by the Ways and Means Committee would in effect deny married wonan's right to that inconle would require that it be Jumped with her husbands income and be taxed as a single entity.
 The proposed measure would affect only scat tered couples in most states But in nine Western or Southern States where the community property law prevails it would encroach still more and affect adversely a very large number of married couples
 Such a law as is now proposed might become a bar to marriage in the cases of individuals who would be reluctant to accept the financial sacrifice involved Women with their own incomes would hesi- tate to marry knowing that it would entail drect and substantial financial handicap to them.
 Today it is true there is desperate need for additional revenue to insure the stability of our ec- onomic system. But our legislators should be wary of this easy formula" for picking up s300000oO0 It would be a blow to the status of women and an n- cursion into established private rights

 So Arnold stepped into this pri- vate legal battle and asked that the government be made a party to the suit. The effect of this was to contend that General Electric had no right to its patent monopoly, and that High Grade Sylvania was en- titled to manufacture fluorescent lamps.
 Arnold also told General Electric that he intended to indict them every month.

NICE OF THEM

How long ago was it that admitted that the tourist season for Alaska in 1922 was shot? Wasn't it about December 8?
 With the news of the bombing of Dutch Harbor, shortly after the regulations were issued sencing the clicking of cameras we picked up a copy of New York camera magazine and found squb about Alaska in it.
 Not only did the editors tell their readers about the fine workout they might give their cameras here but they built us a nice road into Juneau, almost.
 The magazine printed a picture of some totem poles in it's for last month. The caption reads
 Alaskan holidays will be more accessible to the American tourist after the completion of the new Pacific Highway between the northwest and Juneau. Camera toters will find a paradise of views in Alaska scenery"

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do rot compel"
SUNDAY. JUNE T

After the early morning hours benefic aspects rule today. Under this configuration the churches may have to combat a growing interest iu occult studies.
 HEART AND HOME: This is 8 fortunate date for home hospitali- t.ts in which young folk have a secondary interest. Family confer ences come under favorable plane tary direction but girls need not expect romance to flourish except as a mid pasiime In the evening young men may be cautions and pre- occupied, for Mars and not Venus will rule their thoughts. Aged per sons should benefit today when the stars seem to presare goo, luck for those who take grandmother's advice.
 BUSIN ESS AFFAIRS This should be fortunate day for hoteiG and restaurants and for places ot outdoor amusement. The Summer promises prosperity for hotels and resorts that are low priced. AL though railways are subject to rather adverse planetary influences there will be much travel. Short trips rather than long journeys wlil be enjoyed for those who have va cations from war Wosk schools and shops Profits are forecast as com ing from sources not generally counted on. rea
 NATIONAL ISSUES: As neces- sary sacrifices increase ard the circle of sorrow for those lost in the war extends to every state dis cuSsion of postwar conditions will be prevalent. Astrologers forecast great reforms in all countries and a leveling of economic and social barriers. In the democracies there will be no more extreme poverty and the children of a nation will be recognized as it's most valuable asset. Science will have it's widest influence. Church and state will cooperate on a basis oi real L.eder- standing.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Jupiter's transit u ough Cencer presages increase o1 prestige for Canada as well as the United States This year, which is the most crucial period in the history of the wcild. is to bring terrible suspense and great anxieties to the people of the Western Hemisphere. South Am erica is to prove it's splera,d strength in supporting the United Nations. The stars are read as pres- aging attacks from the Atlantic and Pacific which have features hitherto unconnected with modern warfare.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fair success. but there may be need of extra ordinary precautions in safeguard ing property.
 Children born on this day prcb- ably will be strong in character and brilliant in mentality. They may have artistic talent, or business ability.

MONDAY, JUNE 8


 Benefic aspects rule today, but adverse planetary aspects are ac- tive. There is sign supposed to cause a sense of uncertainty or ap- prehension.
 HEART AND HOME: Under this configuration it is wise for the household to adhere strictly to the advice of the family The judgment of the young may be warped by emotions. As the war increases the regimentation of civilians, as well as men in the various branches of national service, American boys and girls may manifest independ- ence of home control, but rebelli.n will be brief. Inevitably, the seers declare, stern discipline will be en- forced in ways that reach persons of every walk of life. Individualism will be lost in massed activities.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS. Astrologers discern the increase of idealism in motives affecting the Second world War. While imperialism and ccm- mercialism were strong influences in the beginning of the spreading conflict, planetary influences have operated toward the awakening of higher aspirations in nations rep resenting democracy. Generous aid will continue to flow from the United States to the Allies as the United Nations push offensive oper- atiorls of great magnitude. Cost will not be counted from now on, it is forecast.
 NATIONAL ISUES: Proper as- signment of war work for men and women will be demanded as the will to do is thwarted by delays in using the ability and experience of persons who are not in uniform. That danger lies in waste effort

RANK DOESN'T COUNT

one of the best things efficient Gen. Allan Gullion did after be- coming Provost Marshal was to bring Gen. Pelham D. (Happy Glassford from his Arizona ranch and place him in charge of the Army's Internal Security" This means the protection of industrial supplies, warehouses, equipment, etc. inside the United States.
 Considering the number of aliens in the country, and the opportuni- ties for sabotage, this is one of the toughest and most important jobs in the home army.
 To thousands of World War veterans, Gen. Happy" Glasstord will always be remembered as a friend. He was Washington's police chief during the march of the bonus army" dealt compassion ately with the penniless veterans, set up some kitchens, raised money to feed them.
 Glassford holds the rank of brig adler general, retired, in the regu- lar Army, but was so anxious to get back into service that he accepted a much lower rank, that of lieuten- ant colonel in the new Army of the United States"
 Many other retired regular Army officers are doing the same, includ- ing James E. Fechet. former Chief or Air Corps, who retired with the rank of major general but is now a colonel. The other day Fechet tele- phoned Glassford and said.
 Hap, have you been promoted yet?"
 "Yes,p replied Glassford, T was just raised from the rank of lieut. enant colonel to colonel"
 OK" said Fechet. Your son was about to be made a lieutenant colonel, and I didn't want to pro- mote him until l was sure his old man was one rank ahead of him 1"
 NOTE: Glassford comes from an old military family His brother, Vice Admiral William Glassford commanded the U. s. fleet in the Southwest Pacific. Their father. ,a regular Army officer in the Indian wars, at one time was attached to the U. s. Weather Bureau in Washington. When Mrs. Grover Cleveland called up to ask how the
