and wrote the regulations on disci- pline which have affected the, Army to this day. Since Von Steuben's time, Sylvannus Thayer, Winfield Scott, John J. Pershing and other great army disciplinarians have kept the strict line between officers and men
 During the last war and today this line of demarcation has bent but never broken. There have been some great commanders like Gen. erals Ben Lear and Walter Krueger who have come up from the ranks, But Baron von Steuben's rigid raste system has left it's indelible mark.
 In the Navy, relations between of- ficers and men have followed the British example, and the Navy nor mally emphasizes caste more than the Army. Except during the rush of war, no man can become an of- ficer, no matter who he is, unless he has graduated from Annapolis And there is strict line of demar- cation between the officers and men aboard ship.

An Injustice of the Draft
lNew York Times)


 The current Selective Service plan, whereby men are called for induction after superficial medical scrutiny at local boards and then are sent to Army posts for physical examination has not speeded de- livery of recruits. It gives registrants no time to settle home and business matters. It has created great emotional strain and frequent embarrassment, to no purpose.
 Under the earlier system most of the unfit were carefully weeded out by local board doctors The re- aining regstrants sent to Army posts for final examination If a man passed he got from twenty five to wentyeigh days before induction to go back home to dispose of his job and saable property to good-byes.
 The Government must surely know by this time that the plan has forced many of the obviously unfit to leave their jobs to sell their homes, to accept farewell gifts and to go through emotional partings, only to be sent home the same night, or next day fumbng for ties freshly severed. These are men who should never have been passed on to the Army doctors.
 Washington know, is a busy place. The men who prosecuting the war up to their ears in their grim job. Surely, though, there must beat against their work k-muffled reverbera tion of the cries of pain and heartbreak that not so much from unhappy rejects as from their troubled kin The remedy moreover, seems simple The old system was better than the It poured men into the reception camps as fast, if not faster than the current system It cost less because fewer rejects had to be sent home-Sometmes to consider able distance-by Army doctors at Government ex- pense.

NAZI FRATERNITY

Ii may seem odius to compare the German and Russian armies with the Marine Corps, but in both the Nazi and Red armies men and officers attend the same clubs something which would send shud- ders up and down the spines of the officers of the Army Navy Club. They also carry out Josephus Dan- iels' idea of dancing with the same women on the same dance floor In the German and Russian armies, officers and men also mingle to- gether when off duty
 Maybe this has nothine to do with morale or military efficiency. Or maybe, on the other hand, it has. Maybe it gives an army something very much worth fighting for. At any rate, it remains a fact that the

A DESIRABLE BILL

Senator Robert E Reynolds of North Carolina has filed in the Senate bill to require Federal regis tration of labor unions. It is reasonable and de- sirable measure one to be commended.
 In this bill Senator Reynolds proposes nothing that should outrage anyone-including the members and officials of labor It would require only that labor organizations file with the Secretary of Labor the names of their officers salaries paid to them the votes by which they elected, the dues and assessments received and their expenditures. further requirement. would be that no labor union employ as officers agents any alien, Communist Fascist, Bund member
 The information specified in the bill s should be. matter of legitimate concern to the government and, necessary occasion. the public. It is incon- gruous in the extreme that the government should require information of the most detailed nature from corporations, all businesses, employers income earn CTS, and housewives, yet permit labor unions to operate financially under veil of secrecy. This is the ncongruous when it is realized that many labor unions constitute big business" in their own right. and that the sizeabe organizations have amassed great funds in their reasuries which be and used for political other purposes Indeed, there many instances in which labor unions op- crate business enterprises.
 It is not nough to say that the business of labor unions the business of the members of those unions alone because too often their influence extends far beyond their membership, and too often there n- stances in which the unions operate the dictator ships of entrenched officials rather than as demo- cratic organizations.
 The type of enactment proposed in Senator Rey- holds bill is both desirable and necessary for the good of the nation and, in the long run for the good of organized labor itself.

DEMOCRATIC U. S. MARINES

In direct contrast, however, are the U. S. Marines. In this, the oldest fighting force of the United States. there has been mingled with the First to Fight" tradition a marked spirit of fraternization between of- fioers and men.
 It is the boast of the Marine Corps that If a company goes into biv- ouac on maneuvers, no officer would take more comfortable equip- ment than is available for enlisted men. If the men sleep rolled up in blanket, the officer scorns the sleeping pad There is no aloofness in the Marine Corps, no tradition, as in the Navy, that officers never go to sailors quarters except for inspection.
 A few months ago if you visited the Marine Base at Quantico, Va. you could find Major General Louis Little, the commandant, playing tennis with the wife of a Marine Corps sergeant, or enlisted men seated around Mrs Little at the movies. Many recreational sports have almost vanished in the recent rush since Pearl Harbor. but the democratic spirit of the Marine Corps continues.

THURSDAY. JUNE 1


 Benefic aspects rule today from early morning until evening when adverse influences may cause de- pression and despondency.
 HEART AND HOME. Women are well directed today which presages pleasure through reunions of old friends and informal entertainments for associates in offices and col leges, in shops and schools. This is happy wedding day. It prom ises long partnership and loving companionship In marriages of that date the husband is likely to be the dominant person, but in- numerable brides of this year are to become independent econom- ically. This means that in coming years women of all ages and all positions will become wage earn CTS.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Finances come under wise direction at this time when bankers will meet strange problems regarding future policies. Astrologers foretell that Jewish adopts in money affairs will render remarkable service to the nation. Prosperity will encourage spending. Imitation will be only partially controlled, the seers fore cast. Wise economies will be prac- ticed by all who have foresight. 1 NATIONAL ISSUES: Sensational charges of extravaganza in govern ment expenses will cause anxiety among taxpayers who will advocate reduction in the number of em- i ployes in Washington and in var ious state capitals With millions of men in the various branches of national service and more millions in political jobs, the burden of tax payers ia civilian ranks will be so heavy that drastic measures of re- lief will be inevitable, the seers prdict. Unlimited vacations for thousands whose work is duplicated, or not important, will be widely ad- vocated
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Realization that at last the United States is demonstrating the im- mensities of production for war needs will cause the Axis powers to take desperate measures. The sum- mer is marked by terrible conflict that will test the courage as well as the vast resources of the Unit ed Nations. There is a sign that warns of barbaric methods which will be employed by the enemy when victory for democracy is pre- saged. Again gas, poison, and even disease infection may supplement the use of arms by the Axis pow CTS. These will follow the spurn- ing of compromise peace terms of fered by the Axis, it is indicated. Persons whose birthdate it ]. have the augury of a year of ur- usual profit. Travel will bring good luck and friends will open doors to success.
 Children born on this day prob ably will have literary gifts Many artistic talents belong to natives of Gemini.
