Quty.
 Its men-qualifIed citizens either too old or physically unfit for reg- ular Army duty have already begun to seep into Army desk jobs, according to Specialist Corps officials.
 Samuel Boyd, Specialists infor- nation chief, says he already has had requests for as many as 300 workers for one area, and that In two weeks steady flow of men vii begin to shove regular Army of- ficers off their swivel chairs. The program, he says, should be- run ming full blast within a month. MUCH LOST MOTION
 AT THE START
 There have been stories in Washington that the Specialist group was merely a "paper" or- ganization whichc Army eyed fish fly, and that It's prospects of op- erating as per schedule were exc ceedingly skinny. It is true that Army hasn't been too aware of the agency's doings, for an Army press officer accompanied this reporter So that he too "could find out what was going on."
 According to the Specialists spokesmen, there has been con- siderable amount of lost motion and general confusion. When the House appropriations committee held up funds, the Corps went ahead and operated with borrowed personnel, a procedure not particu- iarIy conducive to efficiency.

Ingenuity Misapplied
Anchorage Times

Anchorage Times
 If some of the ingenuity now being applied to evadng and avoiding wartime restrictions could be concentrated against the Axis, progress toward peace could be expedited.
 Few of us are so removed from the rush of af- fairs that do not know of at least few strata gems by which the intent of regulations is given the runaround
 For example, apparently reliable story is cir culating in Washington about how some landlords are beating the rent ceiling house, let's say, is supposed to rent for SIS month But residences in the nations capital worth almost their weight in fine gold and the owner is not satisfied with tho ceiling income.
 What does he do? He sells" the house for $125 down and $125 month with understanding that when the buyer" is through he will default on pay ments and permit the house to revert to the seller
 This isn't just sharp business trick. It is de- liberate violation of necessary and proper regua- tion designed to protect literally hundreds of thou sands Of new government employees against goug1ng.
 Washington is so packed that another sharp worker-quite legally, it appears-took over two story brick warehouse, which the normal rental would be not more than $420 month, and is rent ing to 40 soldiers at $20 month each. For this the soldier gets the of cot plus one foot clear each side plus of study table and toilet facilitieS-but screens and, thus far no evdence of heating equipment for the approaching winter
 A manufacturer found his contracts with Navy yard banned because WIPE forbade use of steel for his product But his competitors took over the buSi- ness and filled the orders
 They did it quite legally merely by changing the name of the equipment to something not cov- cred by the WIPES ban.
 "The moment any restrictve regulation appears " says this manufacturer the lawyers are called in to how to get around it and keep in business. The factory whose lawyer gets the answer first has the jump it's competitors"
 These aren't isolated incidents They typical. Almost anybody who gets around substitute his f own observations for these three.
 Apparently there still many who do not com- prehend that this is total warthat can not tol- crate any obstruconism for private benefit if we are going to beat Hitler and the Japanese.
 Official agencies, with all their faults, are try ing sincerely to enforce the necessary wartime re- strictions With all the bureaucracy they are creat ing these agencies not all, know all, do all The final curb upon individual chiselng must come through the unrelenting pressure of public intolerance.

WAR ON ACCIDENTS

In spite of encouraging factors in the nation wide campaign for safety we still wasting most previous and least repaceable wartime asset manpower at a rate that should bring to us a sense of humiliation. Only the other day Dr. Victor G Heiser, consultant the National Association of Manufacturers. told a conference of the Associated Industries of Massachusetts that more than 42,60O war production workers had been killed in industrial and off the job accidents since Pearl Harbor while the daily toll from fatal and other accidents to work CTS had reached the grim figure of Il 900 in the period At the same time he predicted that ab- from the job due to illness and other causes including accidents would cost industry this year 121. .00C 900 man. hours which if applied in the right place would be sufficient to produce 5000 Flying Fortresses or 21Ooo0OO Garand rifles Dr. Heiser showed that it is only carelessness of attitude toward machines and mechansms which results in accidents but also fatigue and malnutrition in the broader sense
 On the brighter side of the picture is the fact that the War Production Fund to Conserve Man power which is sponsoring a drive for safety all fronts through the National Safety Council, has been able to enlist an impressive roster of Ameri- can industry participants in it's $50o0000 fund and to organize many industries in the field Also the Safety Council reports reduction of 24 percent for the first nine months of this year in the motor vehicle traffic toll or a saving of $500 lives compared with the same period last year However the total of deaths in traffic for nine months still was 2l 290 a figure which only be regarded as a disgrace in view of the reduced driving in large sections of the country and reduced speed of opera tion.

be bought by persons of all classes, Again the unexpected is forecast by astrologers. RATIONAL ISSUES: Formation |os a postwar federation or union of world democracies should com Frnand first attention in 1943, the seers declare. Accord.ng to the stars there will be sudden end of world conflict and then the ma chinery of organization for the victorious democracies should bc ready for immediate operation. AL though peace appears far off, the task of readjustments which will prevent future wars is so great that no time should be lost, the seers emphasize.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR 5: Treatment of United Nations pris- Ioners and the starving of peoples under NaH rule will arouse in the holiday season bitter resentment which may provoke protests from Washington more severe than any that have been previously issued. Hatred for Axis methods and ,poh- cies will flame into revolution in many places where subjugated men and women will choose death in place of the horrors of the winter. Hitler will read the handwriting on the wall but win ignore it.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of some good luck that relieves intense strain. Tact in dealing with asso- ciates is urged.
 Children born on this day prob ably will succeed in their careers. They should be exceedingly talent ed and able to win the support or aid of all who can be useful

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


 Adverse planetary aspects dom- mate today which may be depress- ing. Clouds and storms in certain regions will affect the minds of sensitive persons.
 HEART AND HOME: Interest in Bible study will be widespread. Interpreters of the prophecies will command attention Army and Navy chaplains will find much de- mand for their services as religi- ous teachers. At the end of an |age of materialism men and women are realizing what are the results of denial of the spiritual side of humanity. Again they seek to dis cover their souls, the seerS declare, and they predict that science and philosophy will recognize the power of the spirit.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Miracles in shipbuilding and airplane con- struction will continue to amaze the world. In the horoscope of one of the foremost industrialistS the Sun, Saturn, Neptune, Mercury and Pluto conjoined in the sign of Taurus at the time of his birth. Venus and Jupiter, two benefics, were adjunct in Gemini which was in Urine aspect to the Moon. It was thus foreordained that he should overcome all obstacles and astonish the world. There was also a sign presaging financial losses but the planetary influences as lsured success.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Marriages of soldiers and sailors will be dis cussed in all parts of the country as complicated problems involving the newly born are presented. Men sent to foreign lands will contract alliances with women of many na- Itions despite attempted restrictions to international alliances, astrolo- gers emphasize, for the stars pres Eage a growing unity of humanity In postwar times they predict that race consciousness as well as class distinctions will vanish. True de Emocracy will be slowly established it is prognosticated
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR." On the Pacific our United State. Army, Navy and Air Forces vii lgain steadily with reverSes nov and then. Inexorably fate is tt lovertake the Japanese who mus pay for their treachery cruelty ant fbarbaric methods. According to foreign seer, Tokyo is to be de stroyed but only after the mos ferocious and continuous attacks The enemy is to show remarkabl, resourcefulness and endurance which, added to knowledge of is land conditions and immunity t, certain diseases, will afford strengtf for protracted warfare.
 Persons whose birthdate it i have the augury of year of un expected upheavals and changes Caution in correspondence is rec commended.
 Children born on this day pro bably will have many changes o fortune, some of which will b, most advantageous. Love affair may be hazardous.
