LIFETIME PENSIONS


Congressman who haven't had the foresight to
lay away a little nest egg may not have to worry
any
The pubics chosen representatives have all but
completed action a little bill which, with minor
reservations, assures them lifetime income at
your Uncle Samuel's expense.
The exact amount of the pension would depend
upon the length of service, but in numerous cases
in both houses it would be around $4,000 year, and
in some cases it would be even more
The bill sets 70 the compulsory retirement
age for all Government employees except members
of Congress and other elected officials members
VI the judiciary.
A member of the Senate or House, or any other
branch of the Government, however, may retire vol
unfairly at the age of 60 after 80 years of service;
at 81 after IS years of service and at IS after 10
years of service.
The measure labeled the Ramspect-Mead bill,
was passed by the Senate a roll call vote of 42

amendments, but little opposition is expected

What Kind of Navy?
New York Tines

New York Tines
In the Presidents request to Congress for the
unparalleled total of 100000 for supplemental
appropriations and authorizations, more than
half, approximately $16,O00000000 is for the Navy
alone. This brings once more into the foreground
the question of what kind of Navy we need.
Traditional concepts must be put aside, since it is
something complete and self-contained in itself.
Henceforth it must be considered part of three
dmensional air-sea force Even the concept of air
power auxiliary" to power is made
quate particularly if it involves the assumption that
air power is the subordinate Air power and
sea power must be thought Of rather, as two blades
of a pair of scissors each of which tower wide
waters) requires the other for effective action.
This means that our new warships must be de
signed, far possible for constant cooperation
with air power That implies, for thing, un-
precedented concentration airplane carriers both

ship units and smaller carriers protect
conveys It also implies the fullest of catapult
planes other warshps and experimentation with
aircraft like hecopters, capable of taking off from
alighting deck without cataput or runway.
Finally, wider conception of air-sea power involves
a broader conception of the surface Navy con-
sisting not merely of warshps but of troopships
and freighters and tankers. All the merchant
ships we build must be built for in war.
so as that is possible without unduly delaying
their construction such ships should be built and
equipped so that they may protect themselves to
some extent from submarine raider or bomber at
tack, enabling us to economic the of warship
escort If we use sufficient enterprise, indeed it
possible that through dual-purpose guns catapult
airplanes. helicopters other devices, may fit
our future freighters to carry real striking power

of platinum during emergency it is believed that
substantial amount could be obtained in the form
of jewelry from the large domestic supply available
in this form. A limited amount of platinum is still
held in from the supply acquired by the War
Department in 19l7-18.
Tin another strategic metal and one for which
substitutes being sought order to decrease the
demand fer it. also came up for discussion. Alaska
has produced as much as $50 tons of this metal in
year.
The principal of tin is in the manufacture
of tin plate Normally this industry consumes APP
proximately half the virgin tin used in the United
States
The principal mineral is the oxide, CASTER
lite which contains 70 percent tin but the sulphide
stannite, has been found in few places. Tin also
occurs in placer deposits.

ping of cheese Much of this will be discontinued
in the future and be replaced by a rubberzed trans
parent paper. This substitution it is stated, will
effect considerable saving in cost Other changes
in industrial processes are resulting in reduced tin
consumption A lead-bearing metal, free of tin, is
being used in the production of certain automobiles
Substitutes are being increasingly used for tin oxide

ALASKA STRATEGIC MINERALS

mittee on Military Affairs United States Senate, re-
porting on strategic and critical materials and
minerals
Alaska came into the picture in the discussion

very frank report to the people.

entirely to blame for what happen

ought to know about it-and who
they were"
Representative Ed lac of Calf

prise me if Justice Roberts did

President with additional informa-
ton nov contained in the report

Vinson and lac disagreed with
Mas, contending that some of
the findings of the Roberts board
undoubtedly were military secrets
which would be beneficial to the
enemy if made public.
This exchange ended the dis
cussion. Committee members had
forgotten about it until they picked
up a late afternoon newspaper and,
TO their surprise, beheld Mas
statement that he could assure the
country a thorough investigation
of Pearl Harbor would be UNDER
taken by the committee.
NOTE: Democrats are charging
that partisan politics was behind
Mas action and that he was seek
ing to make political capital out of
the Roberts report.

LARGER GLASS

Hardest working man at the Pan
American Conference was Sumner
Welles, Undersecretary of State and
head of the u S. Delegation. All
day long he bargained with other
delegates. Most of the night he
burned the midnight oil at table
in his hotel room.
Attached to Welles to guard him
against crackpots or possible Axis
intruderS was a Brazilian secret
service man, Oliveira. Equally tired
from following the energetic Am
erican delegate all day, Secret Ser
viceman Oliveira liked to retire as
soon as he was sure Welles was
alone in his hotel suite.
One night ss Oliveira was about

bottle of champagne. But only one

But Oliveira waited a bit longer
just to be sure Welles was alone.
Suddenly the waiter appeared bear

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel
THURSDAY. FEBRUARY u

Benefic aspects are active today.
Vision should be keen for Ameri-
can leaders in war plans. Mars Is
in a place that presages intense
conflict in which our foes will be
fortunate.
HEART AND HOME: Women are
under benefic planetary influences
in the evening, which should be
fortunate for the love affairs of
young girls. Club members come
under q sway making for splendid
service in the cities of which they
are residents. Relief projects will
be well managed by them. 1t will
be remembered that astrologers
counseled preparation for national
emergencies more than two years
ago, and that they have persis-
tently predicted our part in the
World War The girls who followed
the advice of the seers are now
foremost among the nurses and
professional women who are rem
dering splendid help to the nation.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: With the
progress of the World War the
economic revolution produced by
the conflict will present many new
problems to bankers and business
men. The immense resources of
the United States now will safe
guard the nations trade and COM
merce, but there will be amazing
changes in our methods of trade.
Money will continue to be plenti-
full as millions are poured out TO
workers on government contracts.
Agriculture, like manufacturing,
will be stimulated and extended in
the spring.
NATIONAL ISSUES: American
born japanese and Germans will
suffer many injustices, despite eff
forts to guard against unreasoning
prejudices. The seers advise the
utmost charity and patience in
dealing with these victims of the
war. Emphasis is put upon the fact
that the government maintains a
highly trained secret service net
work which safeguards the people
There is a sign warning of treach-
cry in high places where it is least
suspected.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
Again astrologers foretell Hitlers
downfall which probably will be
accomplished in 1943 Even now the
Fuehrer is subject to evil portents
which seem to indicate that in
many ways he is aware of his i'm
| pending fate. The stars seem to
forecast many desperate and hor-
| rible acts as the Dictator realizes
that his power is weakening. How
ever, before his final exit he will
be able to add much to his record
of cruelty, treachery and barbaric
practices.
Persons whose birthdate it is
] have the augury of year of many
perplexities. Gain will come after
financial difficulties.
Children born on this day may
be extraordinarily brilliant. The
configurations under which the
greatest of all wars is fought will
quicken the intelligence of new
corners in a chaotic world.

Christ Jesus Was Lesson
For Christian Scientist!

CHRIST JESUS" was the sub
ject of the Lesson-Sermon in all
Christian Science churches and
societies on Sunday, August 80.
The Golden Text was from
John lit. ''The law was given
by Moses, but grace and truth
came by Jesus Christ"
Among the citation which COM
prised the Lesson-Sermon were the
following from the Bible: "The
next day John seeth Jesus coming
unto him, and saith, behold the
Lamb of God, which taketh away
the sin of the world. And John
bare record, saying, l saw the
Spirit descending from heaven like
dove, and it abode upon him.
And l knew him not: but he that
sent me to baptize with water, the
same said unto me, Upon whom
thou shalt see the Spirit descend
ing and remaining on him, the
same is he which baptized with the
Holy Ghost tJohn 1:z9, $3.50.
The Leson-Sermon also included
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, "Sci-
ence and Health with key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy:
"Jesus was born of Mary. Christ
is the true idea voicing good, the
divine message from God to men
speaking to the human conscious
ness. The Christ is incorporeal,
spiritual,-yea, the divine image
and likeness, dispelling the illus
ions of the senses; the way, the
Truth, and the life, healing the sick
and casting out evils, destroying
