A COMMUNIST FRONT

Last month the House voted ov- erwhelmingly to continue the Dies committee for another year But the Texan still has to run the gauntlet of the Appropriation com mittee before he gets any money to continue his hotly controversial operations.
 Dles is no hero to leaders of this potent committee. Further his Communism -nudism blast, without the knowedge or authorization of other members of his committee, at officials of Vice President Wal lace's Economic Warfare Board, has not made these committee leaders feel any kindlier toward Dies.
 But the thing that has really got them up in arms is a charge that Dies committee is being secretly used by Communists to wreak ven- geance on libe, ais who have fought the Reds
 It is charged that one of Dies chief inves .igators, a former fel- low traveller, still has close ties with his one-time Kommy pals and that they supply him with lists of alleged Communists, who are ac- tually bitter foes, in order to smear them as Reds.
 This is an old Kommy stra tagem They used it to get revenge on David Lasser, head of the Work CTS Alliance. Lasser fought the Kommies within the organization tooth and naii and finally, when he couldn't drive them out, re- signed and started a new outfit that smashed the Alliance.
 The Reds have never forgiven him for this and last year they secretly accused him in certain influential congressional quarters of being a

Uncle Sam Gets Tough
(Philadelphia Recordl


 An Argentine mission sent to the United States to purchase weapons for that countrys rearmament is leaving empty handed
 Members of the mission say they were told this country had no arms to spare. We are arming our selves and sending to other countries fighting the Axis But not reducing the amount of weapons flowing to the combatants by giving arms to nations that stand aoof
 Argentina has right to follow the isolationiSm of it's Acting President Castillo. And have right to refuse to sell to Argentina until that coun- try becomes a combatant.
 The United States is not dragooning any of the Latin American countries into this Most of them feel do about it.
 On the other hand, Uncle Sam would be the prize sucker of all time if he gave to a nation which won't even break off relations with the Axis and which permits it's territory to be used base for espionage operations in this hemisphere
 Casto's mission will tell him that he can't eat his rearmament cake and hang to his isolationst penny.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compeW
FRIDAY. APRIL 10

Benefic aspects rule today. It is a date of promise to men who di- rect important projects. Adverse influences may affect Army and Navy, retarding plans and ob- structing movements.
 HEART AND HOME: Women should pursue routine tasks today, avoiding the temptation to indulge in entertaining or money -spend- ing pastimes. Speech should be guarded since espionage is to as- sume new forms. Resort to many clever devices that are traps for the unsuspecting will be effective in eastern cities where modistes and nairdressers will aid the enemies. Happy go lucky American ways nov must be abandoned, from the high est officials to the humblest civ ilians, as the full meaning of war is finally apprehended by citizens of the United States.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Stagger- ing losses of shipping through the Pearl Harbor treachery of the Jap lnese will hamper certain exporters IS merchant ships are converted to naval needs. Air transportation will save many from starvation and will supply medicines to victims of the war as Red Cross aid is made possible in desperate circumstances. Concentrated foods will be in great demand and again science will sue ;eed in extending the scope of it's service to humanity. The fishing industry will undergo beneficial ;hanges.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Correlation )f the Army, Navy and Air forces will prove of assistance to the President. Mistakes in judgment will cause officers of high rank to oe criticized The bad start of the United States in it's part in the World War will spur the nation to super achievements. The man in the street should think twice be- fore he presumes to point out er- TOTS in strategy or unseen oppor- tunities in our plans for campaign in which democracy is in peril This year is to be time for making start in national defense and in actual fighting While the turn toward victory will be attained in 1942, eighteen months of hardest fighting is forecast.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Canada is subject to planetary in- fluences in which there will be imparted extreme caution in war efforts. This caution may work hardships for the neighbor of the Dominion. Canada has been called the bridge joining the two great English-speaking nations, Britain md the United States. The full Moon of the year brings Jupiter and Mars rising in good aspects to the luminaries, a benefic con- figuration betokening added pres tige and great part in the com ing victory of the United Nations
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good fortune. Both men and women will engage in important war tasks. A minor domestic disappointment is indicated.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be fortunate in their in tellectual heritages and their life opportunities. Great talents and kindly natures are presaged.

A GREAT UNION

The far-reaching significance of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-sheks recent visit to India is just be-
 ginning to dawn. The leader of country, mercay superior but mechanically inferior to Japan took trip to India several weeks ago during which he held conferences with Pandit Jawanarial Nehru, a leader of the Al-India Congress Party. He also talked with Mahatma Mohandas K. Ghandi, for many years leader of a vast majority of Indians.

 The betting is that he will walk cut. There already are significant signs that he is secretly planning this. He hasn't paid the JAWS per capita tax for three months, and there have been a number of attempted raids on other CIO ur~ ions.

broadcast an air appeal for re-
cruits for the army.
Joe Gordon says this Is his

PASS SNATCHER


Mathews made his debut as a.
runner last year, playing wingback
behind Lloyd Cardwell, the veteran
from Nebraska. Although he didn't
do anything that made the record
books on offense, he was the best
pass defense back in the league,
with five interruptions. including
one for a touchdown against
Brooklyn, whom the Lions face
here this Sunday.
So far this season Ned has
averaged as yards per try with
the ball from scrimmage and has
brought back two puntS for a total
OF 80 yards. For fellow who
never carried the ball he's doing
all right in that department and

Merlin Condit, another Dodger

fINS).-None of the Cards had
ever been in a World Series until
yesterday.
And they kept that record
clean until the ninth inning.
For eight innings they laid back
like a mules ears. Ruling was
setting pretty as an angel on a
cloud.
Then the Cards busted loose
like buns out OF n burning box

Before Spud Chandler could
