A RESOLUTION

In convention at Cleveland the Congress of Indus trial Organizations United Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers spurned the proposal of their President James B. Carey, that they adopt reso- lution favoring the opening of second front "as possible"
 Apparently "as possible" not soon enough to suit the delegates, who voted 1417 to 623, in favor of starting a second front "at once" This was action reflecting the majority's close sym pathy with the plight of the Soviet but it reflected more feeling than sense.
 There is good to believe that the leaders of the United Nations will delay for unnecessary moment in opening up a second front. But the undertaking is not one which can be decided casu- ally by convention vote. The grave problems which attend invasion of enemy-held land can best be appreciated by the fact that Adolf Hitler the most daring of modern military leaders, hesitated to invade the British Isles two years ago.
 The electrical, radio and machine workers do not have access to the of military information which would be necessary a basis for ntelli- gent opinion the time for opening a second front All they sensibly say, really is what they will do toward making it possible for the United Nations to open second front. In other words they might better have resolved that their every effort would be bent toward enabling their government to act and that they would work to speed the time when a sec ond front be undertaken.

Buckner, Jr., son of the famous Civil War commander, is having a private battle of his own in AL aska where he is commander of U. s. Army forces. The battle doesn't involve the Japs. It involves Alaskan moose, kodiak bears and, more than anything else, it in wolves Ira N. Gabrielson, chief of the Fish and Wildlife Service.
 MT Gabrielson is very irate at General Simon Bolivar Buckner be- cause of the Generals custom of taking small amphibian plane, landing on one of Alaska's inland lakes and shooting moose and bear In a few hours, the General is able to fly to the heart of widest Alaska, where man is seldom seen ant where the hunting is excellent.
 Gabrielson claims, however, that the General is overdoing it and also that other officers have been doing too much airplane hunting.
 All of this has helped bring to head the question of hunting by the armed forces in Alaska. There is not much to do in Alaska, and all the boys, being armed with rifles, would like to hunt. But if they did, there are enough troops in Alaska to kill all the game in the immedi ate vicinity of the camps in a short time. And the troops don't have the airplane transportation to get far away fro mcamp.
 So the people of Alaska have been dead against hunting by the troops. Finally the matter has been compromised, however, by giv- ing the troops the right to hunt after they have been residents for one year-which is the rule which governs all citizens of Alaska.

Japan: Dope Peddler
(New York Times)


 The disciples of Bushido have hardly been con- spicuous for the gallantry with which they make war generally, but nothing in their ignoble record has been rnean-spirited and low the organized traffic in dope that has been imposed on the help less Chinese act of Even the wholesale murdering of civilians, raping and footing might have been excused the grounds of poor army dis cipline but nothing can be said in attenuation of the crime of deliberately fostering the dope habit Figures assembled in Chungking bring to date the results of what had been started even before 1887 wherever the Japanese had established their nflu- ence. Planting of the opium poppy is enforced on Chinese peasants Opium dens opened under Japanese official auspices-a thousand in Tientsin alone. Cheap heroin-tipped cigarettes are manufac tured at a price that the poorest coolie can pay. The making of dope addicts has been set up as a lesser industry of the New Order in East Asia. That celebrated Code of the Sanurai has never had a clearer translation. There was time when those who most actively disliked the militarist policy of Japan could at least respect the Japanese Now the Japanese themselves have taught contempt well as dislike.

 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Eu- ropean astrologers who have worked on Hitler's chart have stressed the fact that Saturn in his tenth house was most significant in regard to his mad ambitions. They have no- ticed that the Fuehrer makes his advances and offensives when the Sun is in mutable sign and as all these signs are said to be har- monious to his ruling planets he has made rapid headway The en- trance of Neptune into Libra tram sitting his Ascendant is supposed to mark his downfall or at least the decided decline of his power. While his fall from power is read in Sa- turn in the tenth house, his death is indicated by Neptune in his eighth house Gas or poison are presaged as the possible cause of his end.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of unu- sua1 events, some of which will be difficult to meet. It is necessary to exercise tact and diplomacy in busi- ness and social contacts.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be exceedingly ambitious. Although they are likely to be suc- cessful, they must learn humility and unselfishness.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3

Adverse planetary aspects are strongly active today Influences that are antagonistic to employers or to persons in authority are in- dicated.
 HEART AND HOME: Cheerful ness and courage are foreseen in American households from which sons and daughters have gone to serve the nation This is a date for careful planning which includes wise economies as well as fore thought which inspires generous buying of materials that will be scarce in the coming winter. Fuel will be needed in large quantities because severe weather is forecast for certain parts of the U nj q States. Changes in the scale of liv- ing and entertaining will be marked after this month.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Through the autumn many new industries will start modestly as American re- sourcefulness develops odd inven- tions and transplants foreign crafts. Silk will be manufactured from the cocoons of domesticated silkworms that are raised on a scale not pre- viouSly attempted. Strange synthet- ic materials will fill long felt wants. Foods for civilians will be prepared and preserved in combinations which assure nourishment at small cost, the seers forecast.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Educators will face extraordinary problems as shortage of workers in shops. fac tories and other places causes en- ployment of students. Ways of pre- venting a slump in the high stan dard of scholarship which has been maintained in the United | States will be widely discussed. Night schools will be maintained to accommodate young workers ana

U. S. RENT CONTROL

A new formula for rent control to plug loopholes in the current pro- gram-will be announced soon by Price Administrator Leon Tender son.
 Henderson mas received reports of widespread evasions of rent-freez- ing regulations from OPA field of ficers, chiefly in crowded industrial centers.
 In addition to evicting tenants unlawfully, there have been many cases of false sales of houses a paper transaction whereby homes are sold" without down payment, and the new occupants make monthly payments far in excess of maximum rentals.
 To cope with this trick, Tender son is planning to issue an order providing that there be mandatory cash down payments of at least $500 on all homes sold on the in- stalment plan, and that monthly payments be lower than the frozen rent scales on the homes.
 Henderson also is planning to dc some swift cracking down on apart ment house owners who evict ten- ants on trumped . up charges oi lease-breaking and then rent tc others at higher rental charges Though an outright violation of the law. this practice is prevalent in number of industrial centers.

They Fight for Freedom
Philadelphia Record)


 When we ponder such problems as India look back the bitter experiences in Malaga and Bur- ma, there may be lesson in a short dispatch which comes via the Rome radio
 The broadcast quoted Japanese General Tanaka to the effect that Filipino soldiers still waging guerilla warfare against the Japanese invaders Or Tanaka put it. he's still being peStered" by small groups of Philippine soldiers
 This is not in Burma. We hear of no uprsings in Malaga Why only in the Philippines? Could it be because the United States gave them freedom?
 Because that freedom, to become effective in 1946 was being prepared for through gradual transfer of power before Pearl Harbor?

more score for Harry Hopkins and point out that the old friendship between Harry and Averell Harri- man is certainly bearing fruit. The play on Jeffers was Hartman to Hopkins to Roosevelt.
 Behind both the Chester Davis choice and Jeffers final selection was the desire to appease the farm belt, still smarting over the veto of rubber from grain alcohol But it so happens that Jeffers, though living in Nebraska. has oil in his background. The Union Pacific has it's own oil fields.
 The controversy of making rubber out of oil or grain alcohol will con- tinue.
