TENNESSEE VALLEY

Norris fight for public power was the same kind of uphill fight, over the same ten-year period. It began in 1922, and ended only when the Roosevelt administration established the Tennessee Valley Authority. It was a fight to pre- vent private companies-particu- larly Henry Ford-from gaining control of the vast river system of the Tennessee Valley.
 At one stage, the fight seemed hopeless. T expect to lose" Nor ris said T am going on even though l stand absolutely alone. I am going to do the best I can, but l cannot last forever
 Then he added, They'll never name a dam after me.
 Today, Norris Dam in the Ten nessee Valley is supplying power for scores of war industries and has set the standard for other gov- ernment power projects at Grand River, Bonneville. Grand Coulee-- permanent monuments to George Norris bravery
 ITO win the fight, Norris was obliged at times to Hay both Demo- crats and Republicans. Supporting the bill to give the Muscle Shoals contract to Henry Ford were Presi- dent Coolidge, Secretary of Com- merce Herbert Hoover, both of Alabama's Senators, Oscar w. Un- derwood and J. Thomas Heflin, not to mention Joe Robinson of Arkan- sas and Pat Harrison of Mississippi.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6

IF I
 Benefic aspects appear to rule today which is fortunate for in- dustry. Workers are under most suspicious configuration.
 HEART AND HOME; Women are fairly fortunate today and should make the best of their opportuni- ties. There is much promise for all who work with their hands and this must include housekeepers who should find the stars helpful, es- pecially in preparations for hos pitalities There is a good sign for cooking which is to become a scientific indoor pastime as food restrictions put wives and mothers on their mettle when providing daily menus. Girls should find this lucky date for seeking employ ment
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS; Heads of business enterprises, big and little, should profit under this planetary government which promises health ful trade; it encourages imitation wherever price safeguards have been omitted. Women wage earn CTS will be inclined to spend money for luXuries in wearing apparel, especially furs Warning is given that prices for shoes, tailor made suits and winter wraps of all sorts will rise It should be re- membered that astrologers last year advised advance purchases of necessities.
 | NATIONAL ISSUES: Donald Nell i son who has the biggest of all the war jobs will have occasion to re- l buke many critics. He has an as- pect in his horoscope which seems to encourage persons in power to attempt upsetting his plans or re- tarding his production program, the greatest in all history Saturn is in a place showing splendid organ izing ability. Lack of centralized authority was handicap which when finally removed caused MT. Nelson to remind the nation that he had promised ito do the job or step out
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS With the Second World War at a tempo of increasing horrors, the United States and it's leading citi- zens will come under major planets that emphasize the desire to re- lieve suffering among war victims while necessarily pursuing the conflict with supreme force. The recent influence of Neptune in Li- bra will be felt. This will be evi- dentain many human experiences as the nation demonstrates it's de- votion to the highest ideals of hu- man relations. Cropping for the assurance of immortality will cause many explorations of the occult world
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of pros- perity and comfort through do- mestic harmony. Loss through theft may be sustained by certain men.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be thoughtful and studi- ous. A trend toward philosophv however, will not cause thrift in the use of money.

Adolf Hitler, frenziedly driving his armies to capture Stalingrad, today threw in fresh masses of men and armor to join the bloody assault, but the Russians declare that they are holding firmly on all sides.
 German headquarters asserted that tank-led Nazi troops have stormed and captured the "domin- ating heights" of the fortified zone west of Stalingrad after stubborn fighting.
 On the southern flank of the battle for this great steel metropo- lis, the Russians said that Red Army mortar batteries and rifle men have killed $50 Axis troops in beating off four successive assaults supported by massed planes.
 Soviet accounts said that Axis planes are so thick they "are lit erally hanging over our front line and bombing our positions but the Russians waited them out and

LIG INT VOTE IS CAST IN
 JUNEAU AREA
 Democrats Get Ciiy TdIIies as Only 589 Persons Visit Polls

In the hghtest Juneau vote in many years, most of the city's eligible voters stayed at home yesterday as only 589 persons cast their ballots in the three Juneau precincts. This compares to 1879 votes cast in the general election two years ago, to the 727 votes in the Territorial pri- mary last April 28, and also was less than the 652 balloted in the city election last April T.
 A total of 323 votes was cast in Precinct No. l, 13l in Precinct No, 2, and 135 in Precinct No. 3.
 The appalling lack of interest apparently was due to the fact that the only contest offered on the bal lot was the race for the Territorial House of Representatives in which both parties had full tickets in this division. In this phase of the elec- ton, the Democrats gained two- to-one majority in the three Juneau precincts.
 Davis Leads Democrats
 James V. Davis led his running mates in Juneau on the Democratic side with total of 396 tallies. R. E Hardcastle ran well in Juneau and came up next with total of 367 Crystal Snow Jenne ran third with 359. and Andy Gundersen was 10 votes behind with 349.
 The Republican candidates for the House ran as follows in the three Juneau polling places. Frank L. Garnick 179, Grant A. Baldwin 167, Ralph A. Bartholomew 152, Ed mund J. Krause TIT.
 Walter P Sharpe, unopposed on the ticket for Commissioner of La bor, polled fine total of 498 votes in Juneau. Michael J. Haas, in- cumbent, who was defeated by Sharpe in close primary race, had his name written in on 10 Juneau ballots.
 The largest Juneau vote, of course was cast for Anthony J. Dimcnd who received 5l2 tallies for Dele gate to Congress, unopposed. Ter ritorial Treasurer Oscar c. Olson also unopposed for reelection, re- ceived large confidence vote of 4so in Juneau.

Former Liner Manhattan Burns in AtIantiC-AH
 1600 Aboard Safe

WASHINGTON, Sept. g. The Naval transport Wakefield, formerly the liner Manhattan, was severely damaged by fire at sea on Septem- Der 3, the Navy Department an- nounced today.
 More than 1900 passengers and crew members were removed with out loss of life.
 The charred hulk of the 24,000- ton ship, one-time Queen of the United States merchant fleet, has been salvaged and lowed to an At lantic coast port.
 The Navy said the fire, described as of undetermined origin broke out on one deck level and spread swiftly through the ten-year-old, -million-dollar ship. It soon be- came necessary to remove more than 1000 passengers, many of whom were civilians. Others were presumably men in naval service.
 The Navy Department related in addition to passengers there were 600 to TOO officers and crewmen aboard. The ship was commander by Commander Harold Bradbury, Port Angeles, Coast Guard.
 Officers of the Navy said that the rescue was brought about in thrilling manner by warships protecting the convoy in which the Wakefield was travelling near an East Coast port.
 A cruiser unanswered its bow alongside the stern of the trans port and destroyer placed itself alongside and the passengers were then transferred.

Low Down on Rubber Situation 10 Be Big
 Job for B. M. Baru(h
BY JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-These are strange days, but none IS stranger than that recently when Bernard M. (for Mannes) Baruch, the 72-year- -old patriarch of war production, was appointed head of a three-man board to give the public the lowdown on the rubber situation.
 Baruch has been in and out of the war picture for 25 years. He has bounced around in so many government advisory jobs that his latest appointment as chairman of the rubber commission is something of laugh.
 But don't toss it off so easily. There are, in Washington, two schools of thought about Baruch's new job as chief Of the B-C-C- committee (B for Baruch; c for Dr. James B. Conant, president of Harvard; and c for Dr. Karl Comp ton, president of Massachusetts In- stitute of Technology.
 One school leans to the idea that the commission was appointed merely to give prestige to the con- ing orders on conservation of rub Der (mileage control, rationing, etc). The other claims that Ba- ruch and his associates form the only team in the country that can straighten out the rubber muddle. Take it any way you like, the phenomenon is ''Berny" Baruch. There is no more spine-tingling sight in Washington today than to see this gaunt, white-haired old

But when Nelson heard about the plan he objected vigorously. He said the inventory would have a "disquieting effect upon industries operating under the war effort"
 So Arnold, in deference to Nel- son, called off his 50 agents.
 Since then, however, the Justice Departments suspicious have been justified. The Truman Committee of the Senate, plus the Boykin and Peterson Committees of the House, have revealed steel boarding and discrimination in favor of large steel companies. Also the Justice Department sent its own investi-
