WHERE HONOR is DUE

Although Gen. MacArthurS spec
tacular defense of the Bataan Pen
insula gathered all the headlines,
praise and honor is also due other
matchmaking officers who kept up
the unspectacular but very necessary
part of the defense.
In all 16 generals besides Lieut..
Ben Wainwright are now on Cor
regidor or We're on Bataan PENN
sula, many Of them completely un-
known to the American public but
genuine heroes just the same.
One unsung hero who has done a
great job is Mai Gen. George F.
Moore, in command of the harbor
defenses of Corregidor Gen Moore's
anti-aircraft guns have bagged so
many japanese planes that the Japs
don't relish flying over Corregidor
any more
Then there is Brig. Gen. Charles
C. Drake. the quartermaster, who
has the heart breaking job of ra-
tioning supplies down to almost
nothing.
Another man who performed mill
tary miracles is Brig. Gen. Albert

AN ORGANIZATION

When the started, maze Of initiated gov
enmental offices seemed to spring up overnight at
Washington, d C, like toadstoos after a hard nights
rain We heard of the DEM, the WPB the OPA
OPM, OFF and many others.
We have finally been able to find out little Of
what each Of the various offices does. The other
day we found out a little more about how they are
organized. We pass the knowledge on because it is
essential that Americans know something of these
new war offices.
The office For Emergency Management the
DEM. stands supreme at the top with Wayne Coy
as the aison officer. Under this office grouped
the following:

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel"
TUESDAY. APRIL q


Benefic aspects rule today which
is favorable to optimism and pro-
gress. The stars promise good news.
Leaders in government affairs are
we'll directed.
HEART AND HOME: Girls should
find this a lucky date. Love letters
may be expected under this con-
figuration which encourages con-
stancy 1t is an suspicious time for
women of all ages to seek employ
ment. Postwar conditions will en-
courage equal ambitions in business
and the professions for men and
women AS old things pass away
social and economic relations will
be altered. Individual independence
will be emphasized as marriage be-
comes full partnership in financial
responsibilities
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Faith in
final victory will be manifested by
many business men who invest capt.
tai in building and in new projects
of various sorts. The housing prob
lem will take on novel aspects owing
to frequent shifts of population. In
coast areas defense projects will
flourish on a gigantic scale. Al
though there is a sign indicating
possible attacks by enemy submar-
ines and planes from time to time
little damage will result. Business
will proceed as usual in coastal
towns and cities.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Although
unity of purpose will be evident
among the people of the United
States political differences of opin-
ion will be widely discussed. Parti-
san prejudices will be manifested in
many ways that do not affect war
aims. Criticism of weaknesses in
any branch of the Government will
be frank and will have a salutary
effect. Men who carry heavy re-
sponsibilities now may shown signs
of WEAKNESS. Their health should
be Safeguarded and their burden
| should be shared by well qualified
assistants.
I INTERNATIONAL A AIR S:
Hitler's plan of campaign for 1912
will continue to be changed as the
United States contributes aid in men
and supplies for war operations OF
! the Allies. Confidence in ultimate
victory will give impetus to all the
forces fighting for democracy
Through this year much of the dross
of selfishness and indifference which
characterized nations who felt safe
while other peoples suffered will be
consumed in the fire of high pur-
pose and splendid achievement.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a year of improving
propects. 1t is time to plan for slow
achievement in the future.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be richly endowed with
talents. They will be reliable and
ambitious, but owing to extreme
faith in human nature there may
be setbacks and disappointments.

An OccupatiOnal Census


The QUESTIONABLE sent recently to all men in
the third seectve service registration should provide
both seectve service officials and the United States
Employment Service with a fund of highly useful
information
For the first time, the government will obtain
detailed list of occupatonal skils and special APP
titudes of large segment of the working population.
When the findings cataogued employment
service officials undoubtedly will discover scores of
thousands of men with skls urgently needed in war
industries
The institution of occupational census also
should expedite the work of draft officials who will
be advised by the employment service of current
needs for workers that these requirements be
considered in classifying men fer military service.
It may be presumed that this first will
be supplemented in time by similar of other
males This is prerequisite to the full and intelli
gent use of the nations power.

he said impeded American ammuni-
ton sales to Britain for war use, but
noted that in the past few days the
Remington British Purchasing Com
mission had supplied more informa-
ton.
Dobey testified that the agree
ment permitted the sale of am
munition to England for Shooting
grouse, quail, ducks and for target
practice, but Remington may not
sell ammunition containing tetra-
Gene to Britain for the purpose of
shooting Germans"

ure of the State Department to drive
realistic bargain on the question
of Brazil's domestic consumption OF
rubber. Vice-President Wallace's
Board of Economic Warfare and
Nelson Bockefeller's Inter American
Affairs urged that a specific quota
be required of Brazil in order to
ensure that Brazil's home consump-
ton would not eat up the entire
rubber output.
But the State Department over
ruled this. Acting Secretary of State
Sumner Welles claimed that the
agreement would produce between
60 and 70 thousand tons of rubber
more than Brazil's record produc-
ton in 1912.
Blazil's normal domestic con-
sumption is 10000 tons, and rubber
experts point out that the tire short
age in Brazil will tremendously
stimulate tire manufacturing there,
using up the increased rubber out
put. There is nothing in the new
agreement to prevent this, and the
State Department took the position
there must not be.
But the hard-boiled economists
of the Economic Warfare Board,
disguised with State Department
cookie-pushing, have enlisted the
support of Vice-President Wallace
and have hopes through his influ-
ence to put a domestic consumption
quota on Brazil
NOTE: Meanwhile, Argentina is
negotiating to buy rubber in COM
petition with the U. S. from two
ether South American markets,
Ecuador and Bolivia. Argentina has
tire factories of her own, and is
offering high prices.

ROLLING CORRESPONDENT

Saturday as we looked at the
Warther Hobby exhibit and was
amazed at the wonderful work that
man has done with a pen knife,
when told that he never got out of
the second grade, we were again
impressed with the fact that Ohio
school laws are wrong in compell-
ing attendance of children who
can't learn books. 1t seems that
there should be some way to de-
termine what children of that type
can, and want to do, and let them
do it before they become disgusted
with school, themselves, and life in
general If this exhibit comes to
your town, see it,
Last week we took dinner with
Abe Tolbert and family. Alice
would have more to eat, but there
wasn't any more room on the table.
Vernon Whitehouse has gone back

es. We didn't think quick enough
to stop and see Mr.. and Mrs. Ha-
mer Wilson's new baby.

it was printed 1911, instead of
