GOOD NEIGHBOR TRAIN

Neison Rockerfeller is about to
send train to Mexico. And if il
were possible, he would like to send
trains all around the Latin Amer
lean circuit.
He got the idea from FLOYD Odlum
and his Defense Special" trains
winch toured the country to tell
the public what defense production
meant. Why not do the same thing
below the Rios Grande?
The imaginative minds in the
Office of the Coordinator of Inter-

snapped at it, and immediately he

NICELY TINED

There measure Of irony in news dispatches
emanating out of Tokyo yesterday We, on this side
of the Pacific appreciate the humor of the stu-
alton We doubt if the japanese will see as many
laughs in the double event.
Yesterday morning the daily edition of The
Japan Times and Advertiser, Emperor Hirohitos
official propaganda organ, INDUCED in little pre-
diction to what will happen as soon as Japanese
forces make a landing on American soil.
The United States can be invaded the paper
declared AS a matter of fact, the invasion of this
country was billed as probable rather than possible.
The Pearl Harbor raid the Nippon newsmen wrote,
badly crippled the American navy. The already,
it was pointed out has been taken to the shadow
of San Francisco
But later the same day, the same publication
was forced to admit that an enemy submarine had
orpedoed Japanese ship within 100 miles of Tokyo,
The nationality of this bold marauder not an
nounced. but an official statement by Navy De-
partment revealed that American bluejackets were
at the helm of the craft.
Not only was this successful attack at Tokyos
front door carried on but a total of four japanese
ships were sunk by our undersea craft in the same
day
Thus by action more expressive than propa-
the whereabouts of the u S. navy and at the same
time showed the Japanese populace that neither is
their country impregnable from invasion.
That flight of journalistic speculation in the
Tokyo paper yesterday probably meant to serve
a badly felt need in Japan. From all indications,
the surprise attacks against Pearl Harbor and the
Philippines, and the rumored attempts at attack
which failed in Alaska and along the California
coast, December T. meant to launch quick

The Washington bound Holly
wood directors who are going to do
this job are not going to be dollar
a-year men. They are actually put
ting on uniforms and going into the
army. They are William Wyler
who directed The Little Foxes, -
"Dodsworth," "Wuthering Heights, 4"
and Dead End; also John Huston,
who directed The Maltese Falcon.
He is the son of the famous actor
Walter Huston.
Finally, and already in Washing

intensely proud of his American
ism, and director of such famous
pictures as Lost Horizon, 1.-THE
Bitter Tea of General Yen," "Mr.

An army uniform is no new thing
for Capra. He entered the last
war as a private, came out a lieu

whether the army will really make
use of its Hollywood recruits. Will
they be turned loose to make stir

HOROSCOPE

SUNDAY. JANUARY IL

Benefic aspects rule the churches
and the clergy at this time when
usually thoughtless persons have
reason to look beyond material
things. This is an suspicious date
for philanthropic efforts.
HEART AND HOME Family ties
become more precious under this
configuration which presages sep
arations and anxieties. The seers
counsel wise use of every hour Of
domestic unity. Minds should be
tuned to the courage which expects
the best and not the worst. There
are portents of heroism on the
high seas and remarkable escapes
from dire perils. The true meaning
of democracy is to be demonstras-
ed to world in chaos.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Bris k
trade is forecast for the rest of
January, although there will be
slumps in business toward the end
of the month. Loss of shipping will
affect our commercial programs
which extend as each week passes.
1t must be remembered that vic
tory is written in the stars for the
Allies among whom the United
States becomes the strongest IN
leadership and achievement. Unu-
sual planetary aspects are read as
indecisive for warning powers
through January.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Rising re-
sentiment regarding labor difficult
ties will increase as national perils
multiply. Illustration in important
government defense plans will he

seers declare that employers as
well as employees should be CEN

problems.

REAvERBROOK's WRONG HOST


The Secret Service did a superb
job in guarding Winston Churchill
and his staff during their historic
Washington visit, but there was
one embarrassing slip-up.
Secretary Morgenthau invited his
old friend Lord Beaverbrook to
drop in at his home on Christmas
Day. At the appoin ted hour,
Beaverbrook hoped into a Secret
Service car and was driven to a
handsome house in fashionable
residential district. te
Ringing the doorbell, Beaver
brook was greeted by well-dressed
man whom he had never met be-
fore.
I'm Beaverbrook," the British
Supply Minister said.
Come right in, Your Lordship, .
was the hearty welcome Its a
pleasure and honor to have you call.
/ want you to meet my wife and
daughter
After the introductions, Beaver
brook was served drink, and after
a short stay, expressed his thanks
and departed still not knowing
who his hospitable host was. Fur
ther, he still doesn't know to this
day.
NOTE: On their second try the
Secret Service men drove Beaver
brook to the Morgenthau mansion.

Doctoring of familiar classics in an effort to
bring them up to date is usually pretty dangerous
artisticaly.
But we don't believe Gilbert and Sullivan them
selves would object to the change made in their
play, THE Mikado," while playing in Washington.
The famous opening line, I'VE gentlemen
of Japan is sung, I'VE gangsters of Japan.
The audience in Washington approved.
And while changes being made, we think
some place might be found in The Mikado' for
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, Commander Chief of
the japanese Combined F1eet-a typical Gilbert and
Sullivan character if ever saw one.
The admiral, according to broadcast by the
official Japanese agency, wrote letter almost
a year ago saying he wouldn't be satisfied with cap
turing Guam and the Philippines and occupying
Hawaii and San Francisco, but; Il am looking for
ward to debating peace to the United States in the
White House at Washington
We suppose it would require too much revising
to cast Yamamoto in the role of Poo Bah. But a
reference to him certainly belongs in Kokos song,

MONDAY. JANUARY -


Aspects that encourage initiative
are active today. Many construc-
tive projects should advance uoder
this configuration
HEART AND HOME: In social
relations conservative ideas will
rule among young folk who are
connected with various branches
of defense service. In World War
I, when there was much drama,
music and pomp connected with
the shoufdering of arms, the gem
eral excitement manifested in free
dom from restraint. World War II
is strictly mechanical, business
enterprise of such vast scope that
there is no chance except adher-
ence to long established rules Of
conduct, astrologers declare.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Astrolo-
gers long have warned that the ut
most caution should guide proprie-
tors or executives of modest shops
or factories While priorities will
wreck certain projects they are
necessary in the vast production
programs of the United States gov
eminent. The next six weeks may
be most critical for many manufac-
turing plants not engaged in de-
Tense contracts.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Widespread
espionage activities and serious
sabotage may be expected on. both
the east and the west coasts. Bos-
ton is to be principal center for
subversive performances, but the
most imperilled city will be Los
Angeles where airplanes and ship
ping may be damaged. Frequent
warnings of fifth columnists' work
within the great factories where
they have obtained employment
have been given by the seers who
now forecast fires and explosions. I
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
Foreign astrologers have predicted
that new leader will appear in
France. This man, who has been
designated as likely to gain power
this month, is to lead the subju-

Three ace Hollywood directors,

Their job is to produce pictures

that the right kind of films can
accomplish wonders for morale.
Also they think lot of short cuts
can be taken in army training by
