HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not conpeW
TUESDAY. JUNE 30

Benefic aspects dominate on this last day of an eventful month There is a sign of great promise for aviation and 8 victory for our air forces will be of extraordinary ! importance.
 HEART AND HOME: Again wo- men are subject to configuration of high expectation. Uranus seems to presage for them splendid sue cess in the learned professions and in scientific positions that aid war successes. Mentality will be strong enough to overcome emotional de- pression due to bereavements. Pat riotism will sustain wives and moth- CTS who labor diligently to assure victory. This is a happy wedding day and seems to presage many marriages.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Govern ment power to enforce war restric- tions will be demonstrated in few instances. Labor today is subject to stimulating influences which contribute to high speed production New inventions and novel methods of eliminating unnecessary work will aid in shops and factories. Poten- tial energy hitherto untapped will contribute to marvellous results that sustain fine hopes of American leaders in trade and commerce.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: During the fourteen years in which Neptune will be transiting Libra, the sign of idealism, vacillation and extreme reforms, many plans for universal justice and equality will be advo- cated. Among these will be a world parliament and world court, a uni versal currency and the abolition of customs barriers. When Jupiter comes to conjunction with Neptune these issues will win wide support. In world reconstruction the years 1948, 1851, and 1853, are foretold as most difficult.
 INTERNATIONAL A FAIRS {: Although demonstration of strength by the United States will awaken hope for speedy end of the Sec ond World War, the stars seem to indicate a long period in. which it may be necessary to fight several Axis powers after the surrender of the leaders. The process of regain ing territory taken by the enemy may be slow and the vastness of the aea in which waste and destruc- ton have been sustained will make readjustments slow. Many of our men will wear uniforms for several years, it is forecast.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good for tune. Great happiness is presageo in love and marriage.

THE STORY so FAR: Joan Leland,

when he discharges her with two weeks
salary and refuses any explanation.
The same day her sister, Sybil, with
whom she shares an apartment, loses
her position in beauty salon. Joan ac-
cepts position from Karl Miller, hand
some proprietor of a night club, who
insists on paying her in advance, at the
rate of $50 per week. Sybil suspects
something sinister about the position, and
divines Joan's quick interest in Karl
Though the sisters quarrel, Joan refuses
to quit. She accepts his dinner invi-
tation and when he tells her he has a
beauty salon job for Sybil, and takes her
into his arms, her happiness knows no
bounds. The scene is interrupted by the
entrance Of Paul Sherman, Karps man.

No Mans lond

Inc District coroner and police
voluntarily assumed jurisdiction in
investigating traffic fatality at the
Pentagon Building, for there was no
other authority available or willing
to assume 1t. The same thing would
happen In case of fire at the
Pentagon Building that got beyond
control Of the building attendants.
The District would send apparatus
to fight the fire, but the building
IS beyond the Districts jurisdiction
And the same question hobs up. in
another form, in connection with
the Capital Transit Company's Pc
tltion to the Interstate Commerce
commission to establish another
five cent shuttle bus service between
the District and the Pentagon Build
ing. The ICC takes jurisdiction
because no other agency has the
authority to assume it.
Congress eventually must assign
jurisdiction in such matters, for the
rapid expansion of the Federal
establishment beyond the Districts
borders now makes it very neces-
sary to do so. When thirty or forty
thousand people are working in the
Pentagon Building, adequate police,
fire and public utility service au-
thority is no longer an academic
question. There should be definite
and fixed responsibility. There are
too many mo mans lands grow
ing up around the District.
There is no doubt as to the need
for the new bus service to be estab-
lished by the Capital Transit Com
pany. There is no determination by
any regulatory agency, however, as
to the justification for the extra
five-cent fares to be charged. The
1CC undoubtedly will grant a per-
NIT for operation of this line, but
will do so without any thorough
investigation of the question of
fares. Some agency, as The Star
has suggested many times, should
be charged with responsibility of
regulating transportation in the
Metropolitan Area; regulating it in
the public interest and with regard
to convenience, necessity, fares and
adequacy of service. These are mat
tiers which the new Congress should
study.

known as the Peabody bird. and in
others as the Poverty bird. Some people
call it the Canada bird, whereas in
Manitoba they name it the nightingale.
In some sections it is known as the
white-throated crown sparrow.
In the old days some person with more
imagination than scientific accuracy
thought he heard the bird call "Old
Sam Peabody, Peabody, Peabody"
Another imaginative story is that
New England farmer named Poverty was
wondering when he should put in his
wheat, when he heard a small bird say,
as plain as anything:
Sow wheat, Poverty, Poverty, Poverty"
These stories demonstrate very we'll
that a heightened Imagination, COM
bined with being quite self-centered,
will permit listener to bird songs and
calls to hear almost anything he wants
to hear.
Stewart Edward White, In his book
THE Forest tells an interesting story
about the plaintive song of the white
throated sparrow.
The white-throated sparrow" he
says, "sings nine different variations of
the same song He may sing more but
that is all have counted.

crazy To that man he was always say
ing, And he never heard the man say

wildly to offer thousand dollars if he
would, If he only would, finish that

Dear Sir:
Il read your column in The Star with
interest for / too. love birds
IF you have made any suggestions as
to substitutes for suet for feeding the
birds have missed them.
Heretofore I've hung the Jumps Of
suet out, or melted it and mixed in seeds
and peanuts.

Respectfully, D. J. D."
This correspondent will see by the
prior letter that many persons are still
able to get suet.
Probably the bacon drippings would
make better collection material for war
use than beef suet
Suet is valuable food for many winter
ing birds, supplying them with fat when
they need it most.
1t would be ort-sighted to deprive
such birds as the Woodpeckers of suet,
because they do a great deal of good in
the spring and summer in cleaning up
inmical insects on the bark of trees.
A pound of suet will go a long way
toward helping scores of birds. The
trouble, Of course, comes in finding the
beef
Care should be taken to place suet
where dogs cannot get 1t. as they are

meat smell appeals to dog.

Planning the Peace

In emphasizing the necessity Of
organizing an informed public opin-
ion before the end of the war with
respect to problems that will arise
In connection with the peace, Senator
Austin of Vermont, the assistant
minority leader, is on unassailable
ground.
AS Senator Austin pointed out in
a National Radio Forum address last
night, we know from the experience
of the First World War that building
a structure for enduring peace will
be utterly impossible" if public
opinion in this country is not ready
for the progressive steps which a
satisfactory postwar settlement will
entail. The peace will not make it
self. 1t must be the product of in
formed decisions, largely made in
advance, by the people on the great
questions that will confront us when
the representatives of the victorious
nations assemble around the confer
ence table.
1t will be necessary, of course, to
make certain that the Axis nations
are disarmed and kept disarmed.
But that will be relatively easy Some
of the larger and more difficult ques-
tions will concern the delimiting of
the economic aspirations of the
Allied nations in normally competi-
tive fields; the problem of what to
do about our old tariff and immigra-
ton policies; the character of inter
national organization best suited to
the implementation of any peace
plan which may be adopted; the
nature of the joint protection which
should be extended to small nations,
and the role the United States should
play in setting up an international
police force TO maintain order in the
world.
1t would be fatal to postpone these
decisions until after the fighting is
over and the war-inspired spirit of
cooperation among the United Ma
tions has died down. Should we
follow that easy path of least re-
distance the bright hope of prevent

Sanctions for Munpower

We may expect to hear much about
Sanctions" soon in connection with
the grave war manpoWer problems
of 1943. Neither the Administration
nor MIR. McNutt is ready yet to press
the question of national service act,
drafting all able bodied citizens for
the war effort and enabling the War
ManpoWer Commission to assign
workers to essential jobs. So the
matter of invoking indirect sanctions
against recalcitrant citizens, chiefly
employers, is being considered.
In law, to sanction means to en-
force by attaching a penalty or
reward. Under authority of execu-
tive orders, the War ManpoWer Com
mission might invoke sanctions
against an employer in one less
essential war industry who refused to
release skilled workers for a more
essential industry, the penalty being
enforced by some such agency as
the WPB, ODT, OPA, etc, by deny
ing the employer priorities on essen
tial material or special privileges
necessary for him to remain in bust
ness.
The matter of sanctions is now
being debated in the Management
Labor Policy Committee of the COM
mission. Mr.. McNutt himself sees
in it certain disadvantages, such as
reliance on other agencies to enforce
the directives or policies of the COM
mission and the danger of penalties
far more severe than might be justi-
fed. But the greatest objection is
not mentioned by Mr.. McNutt, and
that objection lies in accomplishing
by indirection and certain amount
of subterfuge the thing that should
be accomplished by direct action, if
it has to be accomplished at all.
For the failure to face the facts
directly and honestly is not good
for public morals or morale
The hesitancy to rely on a ma
tional draft Of manpower and
womanpower to do what it may be
possible to do through voluntary
acquieScence with War Manpower
Commission directives is under
standable. Certainly the voluntary
method deserves every trial. But if
it fails to work and compulsory
assignment of manpower is neces-
sary to win the war, then a national
service act is necessary and it is
trif1ing with the interests of the
Nation to look around for half way
substitutes
When men can be involuntarily
assigned to service in the Army and
sent to the ends of the earth to
fight and die for their country, there
IS no longer any argument against
drafting men and women to work in
war plants-or anywhere else the
Government needs them-provided
the same ends cannot be accom-
plished by voluntary methods.

OF various sorts, and every other kind
OF fruit or vegetable that the Depart
ment of Agriculture has helped the
farmer to learn to keep in this way.
Every few days, sometimes every day,
brings a similar addition to the store,
until many long shelves are crowded
with these home-canned foods for use
in winter and spring They are the
pride as we'll as the dependence of nearly
every home.
Now, this occurs not In few hundred
or few thousand homes, but in hun
dreds of thousands of homes through
out the farming communities of the
country. Secretary Wickard, whose de-
partment helps them do it, ought to
know
People living in cities and towns. Of
course have to buy, and if you want to
know how much per capita these FAM
lilies use, you will divide the quantity
they consume by the number of people
who consume it. And you will not
include in the divisor the millions of
persons who do not buy from the store.
COmpllCated, Ism t 1t?
So, next February or March, after we
have all been operated on by Procrustes,
the farmers family will have coupons
for the purchase of store shelf goods
for which they have as little need as for
the proverbial fifth wheel to a cart,
while families in the city will find they
have to pull in their belts to whatever
notch Is made necessary by the inflated
divisor that has been applied to avail
able store-stocked supplies
Another factor, which will contribute
to cumulative inequity is the presence
or absence of very small children in CITY
families. Adults, where there also are
babies in the household, obviously will
be benefited, as to coupons, to the dis
advantage of wholly adult households.
If there still remains doubt in any
ones mind, let him make even a casual
examination of actual figures for
typical small family say, family of
three adults. Here we have SO pounds
OF processed foods for a year, Or less
than two pounds for one week. for the
three of them.
A can of peaches weighs pound 10
ounces (and family of three will not
buy diminutive cans since these are
wasteful of tin and should be reserved
Tor bachelors or bachelor-maids who
live alone and like it,, so, If our family
OF three opens can of peaches. we
cannot have, at any time during that
same week, can OF. peas or of beans or
OF corn, no vegetable or table juices. nor
anything else of the sort until another
week rolls around
You need only to look at your grocers'
shelves. pick out any not-quite- two pound
item or assortment and say, This is
all that three people will get for whole
week. Any practical example such as
this will provide "reductio ad alb
surdum" which will make safe the pre-.
diction, and inevitably the conclusion.
that the quantities proposed for this
food ration radically must be increased
(multiplied-not added to-, or the plan
will break down. SIMPLE SIMON.
