them talk leads us to believe so.
OF course telling each other how to win the
war appears to be harmless enough pastme. But
this is democracy we're living in. Our leaders have
been known to listen to the people Thus, it isn't
at all impossible that the military could be forced
against its will to act in accordance with ILL
informed public demand
These armchair generals will be heard--not very
far not too effectively-but they will be heard. To
stop their tongues would be simple quietng the
boys in the bleachers when Casey throws his fourth
ball in a row and Casey is pitching for the home
team. 1t just isn't done.
But let's consider what the impact of some of
this armchair generashp might be Public opinion
eventually crystallzes into trends Sometimes trends
grow up into general trends. And often the
general trends aren't right But the impact is felt
all the same
Three Senators in Washington recently stood
up in Congress and demanded that bring the
fleet back to defend the coasts of the Continental
United States while we let our outposts and allies
60 That was official presentation of general
trend Luckily, that trend has been squashed But
n the last war it was carried out to some extent
and caused considerable trouble
Now there is another general trend The Con-
gressional Record is full of talk about an offensive
war on the part of the United States There is
action AT present, this doesn't too objection
able because we informed that such an action
is pending.
But it also is possible that public bowling may
result in the touching off of an offensive in at
tack that is unprepared. There is choice in Of
fensves. One would be deliberately prepared attack
brought about by military considerations. The other
could be unprepared offensive dictated by popu-
lar shouting. The latter would be going off half
cooked, nine times out of ten.
We believe that British general is much
more competent to decide when whether or
not an offensive should be launched than a whole
corps of armchair generals in America or any other
place.
There undoubtedly will be a carrying of the
fight to the enemy. Where it will be launched we
don't presume to say. We still think that Casey
knows about pitching than do.
We hope that genuine generals and admirals
beat the armchair gang to the punch We hope
they strike before they forced strike by the old
innate perhaps unreasonable desire of every Amer-
can to smash back quick, he's been punched
in the nose

ON THE MOVE

After approximately two months of almost stag
nant existence Juneaus Civilian Defense Unit seems
to be the move. An alert was carried out
in Juneau last night with reasonable success. There
were mistakes made But that was to be expected
The leaders know now what these mistakes are 1t
is doubtful if the same mistakes will when
another alert is held next week
Turnout for the practice drill was practically
100 percent But that wasn't enough Some divisions
were short of 1t was found that not enough
ambulance drivers available and stretcher bear
ers also were lacking for First Aid stations Other
shortages were apparent.
In other words more volunteers needed be-
fore the Civilian Defense Unit will be able to func-
ton as it should This probably the most SER
ious weakness noted in last nights drill
Juneau residents showed last night that they
have adopted an attitude of whole hawg coopera-
ton with the Civilian Defense effort When the
alert sounded Juneaus streets clear of all per-
sons except those designated as members of the
Civilian Defense Unit 1t was requested that resi-
dents stay indoors
Thus it is reasonable to expect that with this
need for more volunteers Juneautes will offer their
services to the organization Men needed.
Men are needed as ambulance drivers stretch
bearers. members of the auxiliary police, as
air raid wardens, especially members of the aux
Hilary fire force which is to be formed under Fire
Chief v w Mulvihi
Registration headquarters located in the City
Engineers office in the City Hall. We urge all men
in Juneau who already not members of the Civil
ian Defense Unit to offer their services Immediately
Another alert will be held next Thursday, and
indications that many more drills will follow. As
the defense divisions perfect their work. the drills
will be made more complicated.

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel"
SATURDAY. MARCH q

SATURDAY, MARCH 81
Adverse planetary aspects domin-
ate today. Under this CONFORMATION
women may be tickle in their af-
fections and uncertain in their
plans. Labor. may be restless.
HEART AND HOME: Women
may be high-strung and tempera-
mental under this rule of the stars.
They should exercise self-control
and assume a cheerful point of
view. Girls may be tickle in their
affections and unable to know
their own minds in love affairs,
but the stars indicate that those
who today reject proposals of mar
riage will be likely to change their
minds. Women in industry may
meet obstacles due to union regu-
lations but the need of their help
in defense factories will change es-
tablished rules.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: South
America will now cooperate SO full
ly with the United States that per-
manent relations, commercial and
financial, will be established. AS
spring advances it will be appar-
ent that from the war will emerge
a new strength for the Western
Hemisphere which will develop flu
ture greatness that never again can
be attained by Europe.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Differences
Of opinion regarding what are ne
cessities and what are Injuries will
cause many heated arguments. The
stars are read as indicating curbs
in the way of high taxes but moth
ing SO drastic as absolute bans on
alcohol and tobacco.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
Australia is to gain new honors in
the splendid quality of her fight
ing men. In her foundation map,
Mars stationary transit opposing
the ascendant and square to; the
position of the Sun presages a Sc
we're struggle. There is a sign read
as indicating financial problems
which will be relieved by eoopera-
ton with the Allies. Unity of SEN
timent is indicated and a streng-
thening of the Government as
spring advances.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of mod
crate gains and much happiness.
Some sort of trouble through a dis
loyal friend or relative threatens.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be ambitious, reserved
and exceedingly Independent. Many
are quick tempered and should be
taught self-control.

CONGRESSMAN WITH A
PACKAGE

Fortunately most congressman CO.
operate 100 per cent with war regu-
lations in Washington. But the other
day James E. Vanzandt, cocky Re
publican from Altoona, Pa, arrived
at the War Department with pack
age under his arm. In line with
their orders, guards asked him to
register the package before enter
ing the building. But Vanzandt
brusquely brushed past them.
They pursued him, and one court
eously but firmly insisted. you'll
have to register that parcel"
I'm a member of the Ccngress' '
announced VanZandt haughtily.
I'm sorry, sir. but my orders per-
nit no exceptions. You will have to
register the parcel"
I'll take care of il" shouted Van
zandt loudly, I'm a member of the
CongresS!"
A receptionist finally interviewed,
took Vanzandt's name, and gave
him pass. AS he disappeared down
the corridor, one of the guards re-
marked, These members of Con-
gress they think they're God
Almighty"

tween 14th and 18th Streets-has
been grabbed by Lowell Mellett,
White House administrative assist
ant, to build his clipping bureau
agency, the Office of Government
Reports, an office building plus an
amazing so called Information
Center"
This creation Mellett proposes to
staff with charming young girls at
tired in flossy uniforms to dish out
directions to business men and
others seeking their way around in
the war bureaus.
An interesting feature of this
brainchild, which has been tabled
"Mellett's Bughouse,' is that it is
being erected despite explicit Con-
gressional disapproval. Not so long
ago Mellett evinced greater concern
about Congressional wishes.
During the bitter pre-war battle
over isolationism, he repeatedly re-
buffed the efforts of anti-isolation-
lists to secure his help on the ground
that Congress would not permit him
to engage in controversial activities
Congress won't allow me-" was his
stereotyped reply.
But now, bent on putting over his
own pet scheme, MelIett has no
hesitancy in disregarding Congress
and grabbing a building site that
would serve the war effort infinitely
more ii used to house OPA.

Sports Note
philadelphia RecordD

The machine age, which already has produced
football dummy that fights back, has now reached
into baseball.
The Cincinnati Reds, the sports pages inform us,
are using automatic pitching machine at their
training quarters in Tampa Fla. While it can't
duplicate Frank Merrwel's immortal double shoot,
1t can hurl high low inside or outside at many diff
ferent speeds 1t never wastes time in complicated
wind ups, and it never tires.
We wonder whether. with the draft depicting
baseball teams, such machines couldn't be introduced
into regular games Each side of course, would have
an identical machine. Its success would depend
largely on the Judgment of the weak-armed but
strong Drained pitcher running it.
Eventually automatic batting machines with ell
ectric eyes might be invented,
The Phlies and the Athletics could use a pitch
er guaranteed to put the ball in the right groove
every toss-plus batter guaranteed never to strike
out.

ties to his deep absorption in the
purely military phases of the war.
AS perhaps no other President in
the history of the country, Roose
welt is directly and personally boss
ing the strategy and operations of
the Army and Navy. He takes very
literally the language in the Consti-
tuition that the President is the
Commander in Chief of the armed
forces.
The result of this absorption in
military matters has been largely to
isolate the President from civilian
contacts and a sound grasp of the
real temper of the country.
Once he used to pride himself on
his keen knowledge of public senti
ment He travelled about the coun-
try frequently and widely, saw every
week a wide variety of persons from
different sections, and made it a
point to keep in close contact with
members OF Congress.
Now they are never invited to the
White House for a chat and a nom
military or non-war visitor is rare
exception. And it has been more
than a year since the President has
gone anywhere except to Hyde Park
or Warm Springs.
Further. the administrative assist
ants that he has around him are
utterly useless in keeping him in
formed Of what's going on. They
have neither the caliber nor capacity
TO do that
Acutely aware of this situation,
Democratic leaders feel very strong
ly that the President should get out
into the country They believe it
would do him a lot of good and be a
real lift TO the people.
Presidential travelling in time of
war undoubtedly presents security
problems. but it is believed these
can be overcome. 1t is commended
that it would not be difficult for
the President to visit some military
camps for a personal contact with
the men and indirectly through
