and business and industrial firms employing eligible nurses should take immediate steps to replace them with older nurses or married nurses who eX- cuded from military service. Nurses who have re- tired because of marriage financial independence or other should take refresher courses and turn to active duty to relieve those who are joining the military services.
 Those are the responsibilities of employers; there is responsibility which concerns every one of us. It is to keep we'll that we civilians won't demand the time of nurses needed by our fighting men. When we do become ill we should be willing to get along with the least special atten- ton the doctor deems practicable We should not demand special nurses unless they are an absolute necessity. Wherever possible, one person in every home should take the Red Cross Home Nursing course to learn how to prevent sickness and when it does strike, how to cope with it.
 Juneau women should join the Red Cross re- serves either through the local committee Red Cross Nursing, Mary Keith Cauthorne special rep resentative, or Miss Stephenie Bogdon both in the Territorial Building, or by writing to the Nursing Service American Red Cross, Washington, D.

THE TAX PROBLEM

After l5-month study of the fiscal problems of a nation engaged in waging total the National Bureau of Economic Research has come to the con- cusion that we should raise less than $4OOOOO00- GOO in Federal taxes in the current fiscal year
 It bases this conclusion on the expectation that the Government will spend $75OOOOO00OO and says that no more than $35 100000 can safely be bor- rowed without asking for serious rise in living costs
 Actually the most recent estimate made by Sec- retary of the Treasury Morgenthau puts the total spending for this year as high S8OOOOOO0.O0O.
 The pending Revenue Act proposes measures which would carry the Governments tax receipts to only about $25,O000OO0OO Therefore there re- mains gap of about $5 900 00O between our tax program as it now stands and the amount which the experts of the National Bureau regard the mini mum that can avert general breakdown of war time price control. Another less comprehensive study, just issued by The Tax Foundation reaches similar conclusion. In answer to the question of how much should be raised by taxes it answers "All that can be raised without disocating our war ef- fort It puts the figure at about $33 900 900 or $34OOO0O0000 equal to about 40 percent of current expenditures.
 Both studies find that not much more can be expected from income taxes in the higher brackets The National Bureau is unable to find conclusive arguments either for against sales tax but con- cedes that heavier income tax is not sufficient of itself. Accordingly it proposes an increase in the Social Security Taxes from percent to percent This last suggestion is open to serious question It means taking on, in the name of war financing a future commitment for larger benefits that might prove unsupportable after the war The Tax Foun- daton, after surveying the possible sources of reve- nue concludes that there are only two major sources which can meet the tests of producing revenue and draining off newly created income currently One is withholding tax levied at the source on all in- comes above low minimum the other sales tax

HIGH MORALE

The morale of the troops is as exuberant as their physical we'll being. One striking evidence of this is the pride they take in their per sonal cleanliness, and the smart ness of their attire and equipment. It is a common sight to see men all over battle" area in woods and under bridges, shaving, brush ing their teeth and washing up, just before dawn.
 After battle" no matter how weary they are, the first thing the troops do is to police up" their arms and equipment. And they do it with a will and dash.
 Only troops of high morale, troops who have pride in them selves and the cause they are serv- ing, will stand up under gruelling tests such as part of those which the President witnessed. It takes more than merely wearing a uni form to stand up under tough ma neuvers of this kind. You've got to have it inside you.

NURSES NEEDED

Uncle Sam needs nurses and it's up to us to fill this all-mportant need. Uncle Sam needs 5000 nurses month 2500 for the Army and 500 for the Navy The Red Cross is endeavorng to enlist these nurses through it's First Reserve. Enlistment is not a problem for the Red Cross alone. It is a commit nifty problem; one which must be met by every citizen
 First the nurses must be made to see and feel that their first responsibility is to the armed forces of the country. Those men who are fighting for our homes and our way of life must have the best care in the world, care which only the best American trained nurses give them It is vital that their health be safeguarded that they miss few days as possible away from the fighting fronts. When they wounded they must be mended quickly so that they can go on fighting When they have given everything they have for their country and lie on hospital beds painfully maimed they must recognize that We in there fighting with them. Nurses can help them recover in spirit as well in body Good nursing means not only that chances of coming back are greater, it means their chances of coming back in sound body and mind better. And that's the way we want them back.
 Nurses know that only they with their train ing. give the kind of service that's needed. Nurses make less horrible Certainly they see their responsibility If they don't it's up to us to show them It's up to us with at the front whose care is nearest to our hearts It's up to us who want this to be over as quickly as possible
 But it's also up to not to interfere with nurses when they see their responsibility and are willing to go. Not only should unmarried nurses between 2l and 40 be encouraged to sign up with the Red Cross First Reserve; but obstacles should be put in the way of their reporting for immediate military service.

TOUGH TROOPERS

Those who accompanied tn { President when he reviewed mili- tary maneuvers in the far West, reported that three things stood out which should make the Ameri- can Army the peer if not superior to any in the world.
 CD The marvellous fitness of the troops: (2) their high-spirited morale and boundless enthusiasm; (3) their mental alertness an daring.
 Regarding the first, Army doc tors have been astounded ao the record breaking low sickness rate, despite the rigor of the training schedule and the field con 1itions. Although living in the open under blazing skies with bivouacs shift ing almost daily, with tentage, blankets and other personal equip ment limited wholly to what can be carried in packs, the health of the men is superb. Not only have there been no epidemics of any kind, but the daily sick report" has practically disappeared in many units.
 The hardness of the troops is truly phenomenal. After the in- vasion of Poland, U. S. correspon- dents wrote awed stories about the spectacular marching ability Of the

SUNDAY, oTCoBER Il

Good and evil planetary influ- ences are discerned in the horo- scope for today, It should be favor able to our Navy.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are under stimulating and encour- aging aspects which should help them in meeting whatever cares accrue in the routine of housekeep- ing or wage earning. Girls may 1 find much romance in the course of public. service but this is not an suspicious date to make important decisions. Churches will benefit greatly as people turn to religion as a solace for anxiety or bereave- ment. Scientific investigation of occult phenomena will bring assur- ance of persistence of personality after death, it is prophesied.
 I BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Accusa- tions of unfair profits for great business organizations, especially manufacturing syndicates, will be disturbing to labor as workers face the coming winter. Astrologers urge employers to exercise justice and economy in fulfilling Government contracts. Suspicion of partiality in awarding great responsibilities to favored groups will have serious effect on the morale of workers. As election contests become more bitter, grave damage is foreseen from campaign mud-slinging.
 i NATIONAL ISSUES: Although the American people en masse sell dom look ahead when disaster threatens and decline to accept wise prophecies of coming events, they desire inside information when war is in progress. Again the seers warn of the dangers in publicity and gossip. A frightful catastrophe within the boundaries of the United States has been prog nosticated. It may be prevented by persistent care and watchfulness.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Foreign seers have predicted that no British American offensive can be of first importance un4ess it is directed by way of the Middle East. Brilliant victories for Gen eral MacArthur and our troops are forecast but they will be gained at great price. It has been fore told that Japan will be reduced to mere remnant of former strength, completely prostrated, be- fore the end of the Second World War. After a decade the Nipponese are slowly to revive for develop ment under new ideals.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of ad- vancement in which substantial aid will come from relatives. Love af- fairs and new friendships should be fortunate.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be happy and successful all through their careers. Wit h brains md perseverance they should be exceptionally fortunate.

 In several problems, outfits have chalked up even better records while 30- and 40-mile operational marches are every day occurrences. One regiment hiked 35 miles across swamp land in total blackout and nearly the same distance the next day under broiling sun and in- termittent downpours to surprise the enemy and punch a hole through soft spot in his lines.

 "Yet We have to ship steel all the way across the country because the big steel companies, fearing competition after the war, h av e blocked efforts to build govern ment- financed steel mills in the Northwest"
 Jones pondered the problem, then asked the protesting congressman if he knew the motto on a silver dollar.

MONDAY, OCTOBER l2

Benefic aspects dominate in the horoscope for today, which should be fortunate for businessmen and political leaders. Women should be cautious under this configura- ton.
 HEART AND HOME: Emotional effects of the war are many, the seers point out. In addition to an- Xlesy, sorrow and nervous strain there is an accentuation of TO- mslce which causes mary hasty marriages and reckless flirtations. This is a day in which girls will benefit by calmly facing the fu- ture in which there may be heavy responsibilities after the glan1or of courtship and an impulsive marri- age. After the war new social order will be established. It is wise to think twice before saying "yes. !"
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Food dis trlbution will become major con- cern in business as certain short ages develop, largely on account of transportation difficulties. Farmers are to profit greatly after they have united on important principles for the benefit of agriculture. Starving thousands in Europe and Asia will cause movements for American families to contribute systematically from their plenty. Inventors Of new concentrates will profit.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Protection of our men in uniform will be demanded as conscription of youths under 20 is contemplated oy the United States Government. Again prohibition will be suggested but the stars are read as presaging leg

The Army will not permit the Justice Department to make any mention of crimes involving the Army. If a civilian is shot by a soldier, or vice-versa, Justice can say absolutely nothing. Even when Gen. Buckner in Alaska swears out a mandan1us ordering Secretary lckes to show cause why he should
 not get hunting license to shoot
 moose, and it is all matter of court record, the Justice Depart
 ment must keep its lips sealed. After six months, the Justice De-

Spread of social diseases also will arouse public anxiety and cause protests regarding laxities in certain districts. Public health will be of widespread interest for con- tagious diseases will be numerous in coming months.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR g.:
 Surprise moves by Axis forces are forecast. These will be in places not mentioned by news broadcasters. Both our seaboards should be guarded as never before. The Pacific coast may be first at tackled but it will be well defend- ed. The south rather than the north may be bombed. Our Air Forces, Army and Navy, will prove their efficiency Treacherous peace gestures by Hitler are presaged. Stalin will be approached indirect ly by offers of separate negotia- tions.
 Persons whose birthdate it is will benefit in the coming year. The stars seem to promise happi- ness in domestic life and increased prestige, social and professional.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be talented in the arts. They should be of equable disposi- tion and sturdy health.

Let Leaders Lead

1t is somewhat amazing to hear prominent Ameri-
cans boisterousy procaiming their loyalty to this
country and, at the time, crcizing practically
every undertaking of the present war.
It is inevitable that civilian rights in this country
must be curtaed if the is to be successfully prose-
cuted Those standing the side-ines easily stir
up the smodering discomfort of dsgruntled citizens
1t is easy enough to assert that everything is wrong
and to proclaim that any untried policy would have
secured greater results.
The American people must be intelligent enough
to appreciate the necessity of following the strategy of
their military and naval leaders. These will make
mistakes, of course but they have been trained for
their present task and they represent only pro-
fessonal warriors they not good enough for the
great emergency ahead, the nation does not have
time to select and train generals and admirals.
General George C. Marshall, Army Chief Of Staff,
recently asked for the confidence of the people of this
country declaring, I'VE cannot spread cards on
the table without hazarding and the posi-
BILE loss of the war;" For just the reason mill
rary leaders cannot reply to the criticism of iadvsed
and Often sef-seeldng individuals.
In conclusion, we urge every loyal American to re-
solve that from this day forward the constituted
authorities of this country will have unlimited support
in all undertakings which relate to the prompt vgor
GUS prosecution of the Every American in the
Armed forces of the nation is entitled to the knowl
edge that the people at home are, without doubt
hundred per cent. behind the national effort To
give less is to proclaim disloyaty and to desert
the brave men who fight in our behalf.

The Axis Fights For Africa

American and British forces in Tunsia are meet
ing with stiff opposition from German troops that have
been strongly entrenched in the BizerteTunis area
The reader should understand that this tip of
North Africa is approximately eighty miles from the
island of Sicily where it is possible that the Axis
powers had considerable forces The reinforce
ments which being sent to Africa probably those
which were dispatched when the British Eighth Army
smashed Marshal Rommel in Egypt.
Consequently, it is probable that troops planes
and supplies, originally designed to Rommels po-
sition, being thrown into the Tunisian fight
Apparently, the Axis intends to make strenuous
efforts to maintain its foothold in Africa. This will
involve heavy fighting, with ncessant aerial hos
tities. The result is that the North African front
will become more important and that it will give the
United Nations opportunity to weaken Axis forces.
