POSTSCRIPT ON GUAM

Guam, strategic U. s. stepping stone base captured by the Japs, was long subject of hot contro- versy between the Navy Depart ment and Congress For years the Navy tried to get funds to fortify this vital little insular possession and Congress repeatedly blocked the plan.
 Characteristic of this congress- ional shortsightedness was the de- bate that took place in the House on February 23, 1889, when a Guam appropriation was voted down POS to l68. Here are a few of the gems uttered that day by some of the congressional masterminds wh o killed the item:

JAP BOMBING

U. s. experts are not deprecating the potency of the Japanese air force. but it's operations in the first weeks of the war have disclosed certain significant facts.
 One is that the Japanese Navy fliers seem more accurate in bomb- ing than their Army pilots
 Jap bombing accuracy in the Pearl Harbor attack was most ef- fective, and this treacherous opera ton was carried out by naval planes. This was the first time the Jap naval afr arm had been seen in action by our observers.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not cOmpeW
SUNDAY, JANUARY 4

Benefic aspects are active today, although adverse influences are discerned. The configuration en- courages apprehension and a ten dency to look on the dark side of things.
 HEART AND HOME: Interest in
 religious observances will be wide spread as the year begins. The
 orthodox churches will gain great iy, while cults and philosophies of
 many sorts will win attention.
 Families will turn to prayer as a
 daily inspiration, the stars indi-
 ;ate that spiritual ideas will claim
 wide attention Through many
 tribulations, which include the waste of lives in war, mankind will apprehend new meanings in his day by day existence.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The usual
 first of the year slump will be avoided in certain lines of trade
 and many cities will enjoy pros
 perity through the month. Prices of foods and other necessaries will
 continue to rise and there will be general protests in view of tax
 burdens and other difficulties that confront men of average means.
 The white collar workers will suf- fer severely, also the modest in-
 come professional men. As holiday
 memories fade Americans will be-
 gin to understand the meaning of real sacrifice. ,..
 RATIONAL ISSUES: Labor troubles will arouse resentment among citizens who do not under stand industrial problems. Certain union leaders will lose prestige and
 they are warned by those who read the stars that ambition may de-
 stroy their power Justice should
 be dispassionately enforced, the seers declare, as employers are
 carefully weighed in the balance
 with employees. Astrologers de-
 clare that few large fortunes will
 be made at this time, although sizable profits will accrue in many
 lines of manufacturing
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s:
 Emperor Hirohito of Japan is sub ject to aspects that are ill-omened for his relations with the United States. In the cycle of worldly wealth he has been sympathetic to the. war lords of his empire, but | the people will be in such economic straits before the end of the win 5er and so disturbed by the men,
 aces of the war that they will pray to him for relief from the domin- ation of their leaders. Diplomacy rather than conflict should be the solution of the Japanese problem in its relation to this country. i Persons whose birthdate it is
 have the augury of year of fairly 1 good fortune, but unusual condi- sions must be met in business. l Children born on this day prob | ably will be original and keenly in- selligent, They will be impetuous and strong-willed. M M, m

NATIONAL ISSUES: The cost of disqualification will rise in coming months when there may be much illness among civilians. Demand for extension of medical and surgical care at moderate cost will be wide spread A shortage of nurses and physicians in view of their em- ployments by naval and military forces, will be serious. Young girls with proper qualifications are urged by the seers to train for much needed service. Preventive meas ures will be instituted in American cities where public health organi- zations, will be overworked.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s; Efforts to discredit President Roo- sevelt will be made by Hitler through this first quarter of the year when there should be extra ordinary watchfulness to prevent spies from penetrating various de- partments in Washington. Again the seers emphasize the fact that they have warned often of secret enemies in the employment of the federal government. Subversive agents are believed to be nuner- ous in departments where they ap- parently can do less harm than could be achieved if they had be- come connected with war or Navy office work, but the stars warn that they are numerous everywhere.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of var jed experiences. Changes and tra- vel are indicated for men. Women will find serious interests.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be independent and strong -willed, They may develop originality and ingenuity in their chosen vacations.

Through seven or eight years of commercial dis location due to war, lessons of great value will be learned by bussiness men.

Ground Officers Become Eyes of the Army

BROOKS FIELD, San Antonio, Tex
While Gen. Douglas Macarthur was
making his stand on Bataan Peninsula,
his artillery smashed Japanese emplace-
ments OF big guns intended to pour death
into the American stronghold.
1t was convincing demonstration of
the effectiveness of observation, even
without air superiority.
A few United States observers, flying
over the targets. relayed to MacArthurs
men the exact location of the japanese
guns.
Here at Brooks Field is the Army,s only
advanced observation flying school. Apt
Is its slogan-"The eyes of the Army"
Training of observation pilots, as has
every other phase of military instruc-
ton, has been revolutionized with the
development of lightning warfare and
the necessity for turning out all sorts OF
fighting men in mass.
In the old days" of several months
ago, Army observers also were pilots
Now ground fficerS-infantrymen cav
alrymen and artillerymen-are trained
as observers. thus increasing the number
Of pilots available
AS observers, the line officers join the
pilots in two-man combat teams
Our speciality" said 1t. Col Stanton
T. Smith, Brooks commander. "is taking
officers of other branches and making
them into observers Unless We can CO.
ordinate the air, the ground and the
water forces, we are not going to win
anything"
The observers receive their training
at Brooks Field at the same time student
pilots were given advanced training
A student pilot and a student officer
observer are teamed and join fight OF
four combat teams. These combat teams
are the stagehands, so to speak, for the
modern warfare theater
They sweep ahead of the dive bombers.
the infantry and tanks, mapping the
way. They also may act as artillery
spoilers, radioing the range OF various
targets.
"A large percentage Of the information
upon which battles are fought comes
from aerial observation" Col. Smith
said. "Hitler's early successes were due
in large measure to observation"
Each class attends the Observation
School nine weeks. That time is
crammed full of flying and ground study.

Training Pet Dogs for War Duty

ties Of trained dogs in helping to guard
the vast supplies stored in depots
throughout the country.
1t. Col Clifford Smith was desig-
mated by Gen. Gregory to command the
corps of sentry dogs He said that he
was prepared to leave the choice of the
breeds of dogs up to Dogs for Defense,
but specified that the dogs be Of medium
rather than small or giant size. He pro-
fessed himself as being in entire ac-
cord with the opinions of the organiza-
ton as to age and necessary training
of the dogs accepted.
Dogs for Defense, Inc prefers for
Army training pure bred dogs of either
sex, between one and five years of age
and OF one of the many average size
breeds. Experience abroad has found
boxers, collies, German shepherds,
Doberman pinschers, airedales. giant
schnauzers, and dogs Of comparable size
and habit, most valuable
AS for their training. the simplest
rules OF obedience training suffice. They
must heel on and of leash, they must
stay put until recalled, and they must
be amenable to the handling of any,
body instead of responding to only one
master. Perfection of form either of
the dog himself or of his performance
in obedience, is not important Depend
ability and immediate response to
spoken and sgnaled commands is i'm
perative.
Funds for this non-profit organiza- =
ton are being raised by volunteer dona-
ton and by the efforts of many show
giving organizations. The first such
club in this area to cooperate with
the national organization is the Po-
tomac Boxer Club, headed by Mrs.
Jouett Shouse, which will donate the
proceeds from its series of sanction
matches this summer to the use of

Club, Keith Merrill, was instrumental
in the offer of four boxers for training

sure that their shows will show q prof,
