discovered at long last that India, not merely the
British Empire in general is threatened by the Axis
powers
If they sidetrack Gandhi and adopt policy of
full cooperation, Congress leaders strengthen
greatly the effort of India. The stupendous
power of India is but aspect of its strength.
India also possesses great munitions industries,
capable of equippng and supplying vast army.
Once complete political solidarity is established in
British India, can expect to see the development
of mighty war machine for use against Japan or
Germany or both.

Memo to Mr.. Roosevelt

cleveland Plain Dealer)
Our fondest notions are constantly being pushed
around these days. We have always supposed, for
instance, that there nothing human being
could take satisfaction in than dead rattle
snake In fact whenever we've thought about rattle
snakes we have never wanted them anything else
but deceased
But Richard Reaves, mining en-
gineer out in California, who has issued warning
to the authorities IN IL western states that rattle
snakes are just as dangerous, if not more so, dead
than alive This, he says is because after they are
dead their carcasses fed on by yellow jackets
who suck up the poisonous and then go off
and sting people, who thereupon die from dead
rattlesnakes bite. rt
Unfortunately the insects do not also pick up
the rattle. Therefore, live rattlesnake is safer
than dead one because you can hear him coming.
It's getting SO nothing is certain any

GRAVY-TRAIN STATESMEN

Before the appointment of DON
aid Nelson as production chief, the
office of price control was one place
where the President had centered
authority in single executive. You
would think that this would have
been acclaimed and zealously pre-
served. If you do, you don't know
the gravy train-minded that make
up the so-called farm bloc.
Although some of them have been
among the most raucous pre- Nelson
critics of Roosevelt for his failure
to centralize authority, the bloc
wrote into the price control bill a
provision dividing control over key
phases of this vital war legislation
between Price Administrator Leon
Henderson and Secretary of Ag-
riculture Claude Wickard.
This descriptive move was nc
compliment to Wickard. The bloc
voted him veto power over Hender-
son on farm prices because the farm
lobby knows that Henderson can't
be pushed around and Wickard can

They handle him without trouble

THE MAN BEHIND THE SHEET

One of the most interesting aspects of this war
in current events.
The man is skinny little Mahatma Gandhi who
winds himself in sheet and teaches the children of
Mother India the doctrine of passive resistance. AS
a leader of midas largest single political party, the
Congress Party Gandh finds himself in the position
of either making about-face in policy or losing
control of his party, that the Japanese have
taken the trail.
Ever since the beginning of the war the Congress
Party has boycotted the British war effort 1t has
not actively opposed it. but has refused to allow its
members to hold cabinet office in the central or
provincial governments and has discouraged active
support of the war In the native states the Indian
war effort has been great in British India pas
sive resistance has hampered the mobilization of
Indian man power and other resources.
This attitude of the Indian National Congress
began to change with Japans attack on the United
States and changed still rapidly when Japa-
nese forces invaded Burma and the Malay States.
From a relatively remote position, India suddenly
awakened to find herself the potential target of
gigantic squeeze with German armies thrusting
through the Middle East and Japanese plungng
across Thailand and Burma
Although the visionary Gandhi remains lstless

gress leaders ready to join Fundamentally in a
movement for full cooperation with Great Britain

ing the two weeks she worked on
selecting the personnel of the War
Labor Board.
Her first proposal was that Jim
Farley, former Democratic National
Chairman, be named chairman OF
the Board.
Behind the scenes of this move
was jealousy of Davis, who had
won nationwide eminence by his
courageous and able handling of
the old National Defense Media
ton Board, plus secret sniping by
John L. Lewis, who hates Davis
because he took no CUFF from the
eyebrow waggling miner car.
Hillman, backed by potent CLIO
and AFL leaders, turned thumbs
down on Farley in hot session
with Miss Perkins that she will
remember for a long time. She was
bluntly told that the country was
at war and that this was not the
time to play petty politics"
Blocked on Farley, Miss Perkins
then trotted out a succession of
other names-among them Dart
mouth President Hopkins and AM
herst President King. She also
proposed as a member of the board
Charles Wyzanski, former Labor
Department general counsel, now
a Boston corporation attorney All
were fatty rejected.
In the midst of this undercover
jangle, Miss Perkins, through CLIO
forces hostile to Hillman, took a
swipe at Hillman. In a letter to
Roosevelt, with which on the sur
face she had no connection, the
demand was made that all govern
ment labor agencies be restored tc
her Department.
This attempted flank attack was
a dud. The President didn't even
trouble to acknowledge the letter

the telegraph operator he wanted

"All right" said the operator
what do you want to send?"

The operator scratched his head,

enough.

NATIONAL ISSUES: Resentment
regarding strikes resulting in agi-
tation for legislative interference
should be directed into channels
that insure careful study of the
most important of national prob
lens. The stars presage an era OF
cooperation in which labor and
capital will join in seeking ways
of bringing about the greatest
good for the greatest number. This
means that labor must be fully
recognized in government and ably
represented in legislative bodies.
INTERNATIONAL FLAIR S:

the United States never has lost

There is sign warning of acts of
treachery and surprise by the Axis
powers, now desperate because of
our determined policy in which APP

European aggressors. There is an
aspect today which is read as in

HOROSCOPE

SUNDAY, JANUARY q

Benefic planetary aspects today
incline humanity toward religious
observances. Attendance at the
churches should be large, except
where inclement weather inter
feres with transportation.
HEART AND HOME: Over the
deeps of grave anxieties regarding
members of the family who are
in defense notifications, there will
be at. this time added appreciation
of the comforts of the American
home. This is fortunate day for
visiting the i'll and those in need.
Despite generous government aid
for the INDECENT there will be
much need in many cities. Warm
ing is given to safeguard the
health. for variations of common
epidemics are likely to be preva-
lent.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The move
ment toward making the dollar the
dominant money in North and
South America, as well as in Great
Britain, is believed to promise to
the United States undisputed lead
ership in world trade When the
same method of measuring values
is employed by many nations mu-
tual understandings regarding fin
ancial problems will be helped. In
view of the present demonstration
of the economic resources of this
country the position of the nation
as the foremost on the globe seems
to be tacitly acknowledged.
NATIONAL ISSUES: While the
stars are read as presaging inevi-
table unlimited participation in the
World War. casualties among Am
erican volunteers fighting with the
Allies will cause reluctance in
I volunteering for service with our
far-flung United States forces. This
attitude will pass, the seers de-
clare, as spring movements on the
battlefronts reveal the pressing
necessity of our about action. 1t
will become each week more evil
dent that there can be no isola-
ton when all the nations on the
globe are knitted together by MANY
interests.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Evil portents are discerned for ia
pan which must pursue a course of
supreme peril. Despite economic
difficulties in the empire the mill
tary spirit will dominate until it
becomes necessary to seek a sep
arate peace with the United States,

reverses and desperate extremities
for the ambitious nation which will
rise in future years from ruins
caused by alliance with the Axis
powers. fs.sr m
Persons whose birthdate it is

Past programs of work and play,
however, will be decidedly changed.

MONDAY, JANUARY 2s

Aspects in the horoscope for to-
day are stimulating to energy but
they incline the mind toward APP
prehension and a sense of uncer-
tainty which may retard certain
forms of enterprise.
HEART AND HOME: This is a
favorable date for household &C
tivities. Wise retrenchments in
routine expenses are recommend
ed. 1t is a favorable date for bar
gain shopping and again astrolo-
gers advise generous OUTLAWS for
future needs. Marked increase in
the birthrate is forecast, boys out
numbering girls in a smaller pro-
portion than in former times OF
war. The seers foretell the custom
of mass care of infants by speci-
ally trained nurses who are sta
toned in convenient centers where
the environment is scientifically
sanitary.
USINESS AFFAIRS: This
should be a favorable configura-
ton for trade with government
buying reaching new peaks in food
and other supplies for the armed
forces. Increased production OF
guns and other war necessaries
will be encouraging to those di-
recting the great machinery for

 He pulled his parachute rip cord so close to the plane that the chute caught on the plane, tearing a huge rip in the chute.
 For a few seconds, which seem ed like eternity, Captain Winter mute's life literally hung by threads.
 The chute freed itself, how eyer. as both the captain and the plane plunged earthward, and he drifted to safety.
 Captin Wintermute and his companions later were rescued and are now fully recovered.
 Intrepid Leadership
 The citation accdmpanying the Distinguished Service Gross S awarded to Capt. Eareckson read:
 From the time of the initial attack on Dutch Harbor he de- hlined to conduct the operations of his group in a normal man ner. Instead of remaining in com paratiVe safety at his headquar- ters he repeatedly took to the air in direct personal attacks against the enemy and personally filled gaps on numerous flights by act ing in every capacity from first pilot 10 gunner.
 "This example of intrepid lead ership in utter disregard for his oun personal safety inspired his entire command to heroic efforts in face of tremendous obstacles of weather, terrain and enemy opposition"
