HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel"
SUNDAY, DECEMBER

This is not an important day in
planetary government but there is
an aspect conducive to depression
and encouragement. The evening
is favorable for speakers, especially
for clergymen.
HEART AND HOME: In cities
and towns as well as in villages
and along countrysides closer re-
lations among residents OF all
classes will be maintained in the
new year. War, which brings many
sorrows and sacrifices, will teach
neighborliness in big way.
Churches will benefit thr GU 6 n
deepened interest in religion. ms
is a favorable day for starting new
| friendships. There is an aspect
which imparts intuition and under
standing, especially among men
who carry heavy responsibilities.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS; In trade
centers the week will be dull but
production and exports of war ma
.erials will continue to be enor-
nous. Bad weather will interfere
with transportation by land and
jea. Railways in the Middle West
may sustain damages. Certain re-
strictions in merchandising will
prove unnecessary and will be re-
moved. Grim determination to
/ overcome difficulties of every sort
in promoting war interests will be
effective. Fifth columnists will as
sumo new roles that may cause
serious trouble.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Children
of the United States who have
proved their ability to contribute
important service in various drives
for scrap materials will F receive
special attention from the Gov
eminent all through 1943. First
heir health will be safeguarded.
Diet, exercise and proper clothing
will be more than ever before the
major concern of the nation. Edu-
cational plans. will insure practi-
cal training chat will assure eco
nomic independence. Science will
be stressed in view of recent dis
coveries and technical facility will
be taught in many trades.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS S:
Because from 1942 to 1949 Uranus
will travel through Gemini, the
ruling sign of the United States,
sweeping changes will take place
in this country. Our President and
statesmen will determine tn a
the nations great power shall be
felt, especially in peace settle
ments. Since America is to lead
the whole world, it must dictate
the form of future international
relations and by it's traditional
sense of justice must impress upon
all nations the ideals of true de-

end in 1914, the seers foretell that
five years must elapse before there
is general sense of peace. Men
of evil deeds must be punished
wisely and all social readjustments
must be made with judicial firm
ness Many of our men must beaI
arms for years, it is prophesied
since the globe must be policed by
the United Nations.

results. Patience and diplomacy
should be maintained
Children born on this day prob
ably will be talented but inclined
to be financially careless. They
should be trained in the wise USE
of money.

After on exhaustive investigation
Of the railroads financial structure,
the ICC recently allowed q 8 per cent
freight rate increase, with exceptions
involving q few specific commodities.
Then O very remarkable thing occur
red. The Office Of Price Administro-
ton requested the ECC to suspend the
increases on ten importont closes Of
commodities and served notice it might
later seek cancellation Of oil increases.
After additional investigation, the
lCC refused this request, and stated
that the rote increases will stand.
Had the OPA gained its wish in
this matter, it would have meant, in
the words Of the New York Sun, That
if Federal Agency A increases your
business expenses and Federal Agen-
cy B perm IS an increase in your
business income to offset the increos-
ed expenses, then it is entirely ethical
for Federal Agency c to cancel the in
crease in income and leave the in
crease in expenses in full force 1t
would oIso have meant that the rail-
roads, which are the very backbone Of
war transportation, would have gone
without revenue which IS absolutely
essential to efficient, progressive oP-
erotion.
The reason for rate increases is
we'll known. Last year RAILROAD labor
was granted wage increases which will
cost the lines in excess Of S33O,OOO,-
900 q year. All other operating ex-
penses have increased. And the freight
increases granted by the lCC, coupled
with passenger fore increases granted
q few months back, will foil for short
Of melting the industry's increases in
cost.
The ICC is one Of the most respect
e~d bureaus in government Its duty is
10 establish rates which ore foir to
shippers, travellers and the railroads
alike. In the current motter the sto-
tjstiCoI evidence made the rote grants
unavoidable, The ICC simply perform
ed its duty

HOLLYWOOD, April IA
Some of his friends are worried
about William, the erstwhile
Wild Bill Wellman. He's so
brisk and busineSSlike and so
hard at work on another air pic
ture, "Thunderbirds, that he
doesn't seem to care about play
ing Jokes any more. And he's
even getting along amicably
with studio executives.
The lean, sardonic and utterly
honest director used to be a
sworn enemy of producers, sup
erviSOrS and other brass hats.
And he never was too frazzled
or too busy to provide entertain
ment for the company. He'd tell
racy stories, recite dubious
verse, bark at pretty girls, shoot
out light bulbs with a slingshot,
and rib the stars.
He still picks on stars and
other celebrities, believing that
they do better work when de
flated and put on their mettle.
Darling he'll ask a glamoriSt,
why don't you take up stem
ography or something? Why
do you keep on imposing on
competent actors and actresses,
and on the good nature of direct

so YOU'D LIKE TO REMODEL

must get local approval from

control job for the War Pro-
duction Board.
Thot's the way the picture
stands now, but there is no as
suronce that even this will be
permanent. No one knows
what the stockpiIe situation
will be on building materials
by the end Of summer. II short
oges Of metal for plumbing

ing units become more critical,
by 1913 the order may be that
the only new housing construc-
ton permitted will be for bor-

In the long run, whatever

John B. BIondford, Jr., new
National Housing Administer
ton boss, insists that this war
emergency IS not TO drive pri-
vote building out Of the field
and set government housing up

IS that private business shall do
all the housing work it possibly
can, the government stepping
in only when there ore tenn
poroV housing projects to be
built, or low rent projects
which private enterprise CON-
not finance or hondIe profit

Carl Dreher in The Coming

raises such patent question
he cannot be ignored.
A successful engineer n d

shirts and messy minds Wheth-
er in business, labor or govern
ment. And he doesn't write as
engineers supposedly do. Dire

ed by American loans, followed
by government spending, and
now war profits again. Must
we 90 to battle every 20 or 80
years to keep the industrial sys-
tenn alive?
Dreher sees some form OF col
lectiviSt society after the pres
ent war no matter who wins,
but he believes that by intelli-
gent planning, America can
avoid FasciSm or Communism,
but warns that "the Surest way
to achieve disaster is TO at
tempt to stave it off by fighting
to preserve the past
Briefly, he proposes demo-
cratic collectivism, or planning
for production for the good of
the greatest number Methods
and detectives would be form
ed by leaders or experts but
would be ratified by demo-
cratic procedure, all of which
sounds much like other plans.
