ARMY DAY

Monday, April 6, has been designated Army Dayin the United States and in the Territories too It should be a day far different than the last Army Day It should be intensified with patriotism, nten- sified with public interest in army, the or ganization upon which the future of the United States so vitaly depends.
 When National Congress decided that we should celebrate an Army Day, it's members probably had in mind parades, and bands, and the rest of the trimmings and ornateness that we'll drilled military unit can display. It is doubtful however, if very large part of army has the time for bands and parades
 War is a grim business in these days. There is little of the old World War gamor in the dispachiug Of units of armed forces to the battle fields
 It's great thing to see a unit of the United States Army marching down a street lined with cheering people, marching behind flag and band

The Item Veto
Philadelphia Record)

Philadelphia Record)
 The veto power of the President is of the most important checks in our constitutional system often nullified by the complex nature of legislation and loose Congressional rules which permit the tack ing of riders" not germane to the subject, onto bills
 For instance appropriation bill may contain hundreds of necessary items, passed and sent to the President with two "jokers' inserted by in- fuential members Of Congress The President can- not veto the undesirable items. He must risk delay by vetong the whole bill else let the "jokers' go through
 President Roosevelt points out that many States permit item vetoes. Under this system, the bill spe- officially says that the President may veto part of it without invadating the whole bill
 In normal times the of the item veto may be doubted At worst the President vetoes the whole bill and then waits for Congress to delete the items he doesn't like or else pass it with those cuded his veto But the situation is different in wartime.
 Now the need for certain legislation be so urgent that Congress knows the President won't veto such bill no matter what it tacks on This in ef- feet, nullifies the veto
 Senator Vandenberg, agreeing with the President, has announced that he will put item veto pro- vision in the next appropriation bill.
 If it doesn't work Congress go back to the present system At least the item veto" is worth trial

EASTER SUNDAY

Tomorrow the Christian world joins in commem- oration of the resurrection Of Jesus Christ the chief church festival of the year day that has continued to be observed through 1900 years through countless wars through ages that have the life and death of whole civilizations.
 It 1900 years ago that Christ rose from the dead and demonstrated to those of Christian faith that life does not end at the grave. He was cruci- fled dead and buried and the third day He rose again'
 Today Christianity is threatened in many parts of the world America, Christian country, and her allies are fighting a with nations to whom Easter is not day for rejoicing.
 But wherever troops go, can rest assured that Christianity also goes On battle-stained Batan Peninsula, Easter services may be held with the rumble of Jap guns in the background tank or a wing of a fighting plane for the chaplans pulpit
 But the thought of life eternal, proved to a Christian world almost 2000 years ago, will be re- newed again, the battlefield in the minds Of those fighting in defense of their country and Christianity
 Easter is eternal. War is not.

maladies may multiply. Diets will take on a new importance because the most nourishment at the least cost will be of chief concern. Home cooking is to be more scientific than formerly, since men in uni form are learning to demand much after the varied food of warship or army camp. With other vanish ing adjuncts of American life the servant who cooks will have be- come practically extinct in ls49 when peace is to be fully restored.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: Conflict spreads with each week and even those who do not read the stars begin to forsee long war. Since the beginning of this struggle to maintain the democracies the as trologers have foretald years of strife. This is read as the decisive year but hoStilities will continue to l949 before peace is established, it is prophesied The establishment of a new. order Of living is prognosti- cated. Out of long suffering aiid sacrifice will evolve a purified hu-1 manity that begins to recognize the universal brotherhood.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of more than average good fortune There may be anxieties concerning members ot the family in the war.
 Children born on this day are likely to be fortunate in their her itage of brains and good health. They should be taught to safeguard their possessions which may be easily lost.

CUTRATE HAIRCUTS

The liveliest part of House de- bate on the legislative appropriation bill providing funds for the op- eration of Congress- does not ap- pear in the Congressional Record It was over the issue of half-price haircuts for congressman, and was deleted by members who feared repercusSions if their constituents learned about the poodle.
 Representative Frederick Smith. a in-talking Ohioan, raised the ticklish haircut issue.
 Representative Emmet O'Neal of K en lucky, economy preaching chairman of subcommittee on the bill, was explaining various "mis- cellaneous" items, when he re- marked, with a disappearing look at the press gallery.
 Tt is a common fallacy that haircuts, slaves, soda water and things like that are furnished House members free That idea is a mis- take"
 Smith of Ohio immediately jumped up to question this.
 Why not be frank with ourselves and the people about haircuts?'' he demanded They cost us only 25 cents in the House barber shop, half or less than half the regular price. That's getting something free, isn't it? Why not admit it to the people?'
 O'Neal was so startled that his pince-nez glasses almost fell off. He coughed nervously, but did not attempt to refute Smith Neither did anyone else. Later the Ohioan was besieged by members to de. lete his remarks. Finally he gave in.

| Senate insiders are predicting that Earl Harrison, able Philadelphia Re- publican, will be confirmed as Con- missioner of Immigration despite the personal objections" of Demo- cratic Senator Joe Guffey. Har- rison did a widely acclaimed job directing the alien registration last year and agreed to take the Inn migration post at personal sacri- flee. Robert Guthrie, WIPE executive whose resignation explod- ed bombshen under profit -mind- ed dollar year men, asked Wen dell Willkie to act as his counsel when he appeared before the con- gressional Investigating committee. The COP leader declined, however. on the ground that he did not want to. appear in the light of harassing the Administration In a let ter to the War Labor Board, Ted F. Silvey, plain talking secretary of the Ohio CIO Council, charged that in order to bring unions into dis pute, certain employers are delib- erately stirring up labor disturb ances by placing negro workers among whites without first consult ing shop stewards. Silvey declared that the CIO is against race dis elimination but is opposed to pre- cipitous action by employers. Ma tional Maritime Union, a CIO af- filiate, has foreign secton, with no control by U. S., to organize seamen serving on U. s. ships un- der the flag of Panama. The union has strong communistic flavor.

much merited recognition of thcir long fight for little business men.
 One other man also deserved public pat on the back, but was not invited. Probably Roosevelt didn't know him. Only a few insiders do.
 He is Shreves Coles Badger, re- tiring. liberal Chicago investment banker, who has been quietly after Jones scalp.
 Summoned to Washington in the early days of the old OPM to help little business, Badger ran up against the handed policy of Jesse Jones in every move he made. After months of vain effort, Badger finally compiled a report on 2000 subcontractors kept out of war pro- duction because of inability to get needed loans from Jones.
 Armed with this devastating docu- ment, Badger began a quiet but IcliaNlouS VI uoe1S4C o5oAlot oOlieo, soon had the Army, Navy, WIPE and Congress lined up against him This proved one combination the bulky Texan couldn't lick.

MONDAY. APRIL s

Adverse planetary aspects dom- mate today which may be difficult because of influences that obstruct and retard Mars is in threateninc aspect.
 HEART AND HOME: Womer to- day are under the rule of benefic in- f,uences which should spur them to intense activities. The stars should emphasize the need of faithful ser vice at home and in public projects. Girls may expect happiness in love affairs. It is a lucky date for en- agreements and weddings but the minor note of war will be heard as an undertone to rejoicings. Musi- clans should be fortunate at this time when the need of entertain ment will be stressed as men in uniform await summons to battle fronts.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Large loans will be made to South Amer ican countries as needs develop. Changes in our banking systems are indicated. The nations finari- ces are well managed as our colossal indebtedness rises from week to week. Investments in insurance will command special attention. Pen sions will also be widely discussed as it becomes apparent that gener- osity is carried too far toward per- sons who have no need of gratu- ities.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Much ill., ness through the next few weeks IS forecast. Cities should enforce severe sanitary rules. Children,s

SUNDAY, APRIL 5

Good and evil balance in the planetary aspects for today. The clergy come under benefic influ- ences that promise access of relig- ious interest among large numbers of men and women.
 HEART AND HOME: This is a fortunate date for seeking advice from the head of the household. It is we'll to consult father, especially in the matter of a wartime mar iiage. This is day in which to profit from advice. The stars seem to promise a neventful week for all members of the family. There is a good slgn for those who seek government recognition. w m e n come under a configu'ation which promises high places in public ser vice.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS Although trade will be brisk and agriculture promising, storms may destroy some crops. Heavy rains are indi- cated for the Mississippi Valley and gales along the New England coast may disturb shipping. There is also forecast of increased sub marine activity on the Atlantic coast. The seers again warn of surprises in warfare, treachery dis guised aircraft and camouflaged enemy ships. Losses of valuable car goes are indicated for the Ameri- cans.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Discussion of the attitude of the churches toward war will be encouraged by pacifists who are unwittingly serv- ing fifth column interests. We'll meaning ministers will preach ag- ainst the irrational practice of armed conflict but the seers warn that the clergy will have reason to be thankful for United States defense preparations. SurpriS S that are of great potential danger are prognosticated, as enemy forces work within as well as without the United States.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Evidence that the cause of the dem ccracies has reached its principal reverses in the war will multiply as the spring advances. In Great Britain recent changes in govern ment personnel will prove fortunate. At this time Anthony Eden comes under a most promising aspect He and several men of his age. forty-five, will gain in responsibility while older statesmen suffer from impaired health due to nervous strain and hard service in the sec ond world war.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of great act ivity in both public and private matters. Prosperity is indicated and there will be sustantial inheritances for many.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be possessed of fine in- telligerce and Well-poised charact- CTS. They will succeed in their careers but may be too trustful re- garding friends, new and old.

 General Arnold has made good choice in select ing Colonel E. " Rickenbacker and Colonel Frank OD.
