HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not compel"
FRIDAY. AUGUST '

|
 This is not an important day in planetary direction. Benefic as- poets rule in the morning hours. HEART AND HOME: Good news regarding the war may be expected today which should be especially encouraging to women. The early hours are promising to girls who are employed in Government work and seem to presage success and praise for their contribution to war needs. This is a fortunate date for weddings, especially if the cere- mony is performed before noon. It is a lucky day for making plans for the Autumn and for signing contracts for future homes.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Money dealings with foreign countries may cause unusual complications this month when the cost of war 10 the United States will be greatly increased. The output of fighting planes will be tremendous and will prove that the United Allies will have overwhelming air forces until the end of the war. American manufacturers are to set an amaz- ingly high standard of production which will have much influence in estimating postwar possibilities. NATIONAL ISSUES: Again the seers warn of dangers in the growth of Bureaus in Washington where delays in imperative war act ivities will be threatened through the unwieldiness of the huge mach inery that motivates the far flung forces of combat. In the Depart ment of Agriculture regulations Government pre-war conditions will continue to hamper farmers. Wide spread criticism of what appear to be impractical methods of control- ling crops will be prevalent, es- pecially among growers of cotton and sugar beets.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Inside Germany Hitler will con- tinue to be harassed by unrest and subtle disloyaIty which his brutality cannot overcome. In Po- land and Czechoslovakia inhunan cruelties and rising numbers of executions will foment rebellion which in time will become revolu- ton, if the Fuehrer's destiny does not interfere. Assassination or. sui eide before 1944 has been long prophesied for the dictator whose ill fame will rival that of Nero.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of fair luck. Success in dealing with law yers and agents is indicated, but deception may be attempted.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be keen in mind and strong in body. They will be am- bilious and studious.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

During one of those frequent lapses when weather conditions in the Aleutians make activity for our forces against the enemy impossible, suggest that both the Army and Navy take time to tell us just what is going in this vital area.
 The other day naval authority" in Washington said that there are about 10000 Japs in the Aleu- tans Now it is obvious that if our Navy knows there 10000 Japs in the Aleutians, it must know where they Why not tell us
 We talk all want to about a second front in Europe, about activities of forces in the Medi- terranean and in Australia but can't kid ourselves into believing that the Aleutians are not important enough to do something about them.
 The Aleutians are part of the American continent the home territory of the United States The Aleu- tans the route for successful invasion of Japan and the link between the United States and our collaboration with Russia.
 We haven't been told anything about what is going in the Aeutians We've had few gen. eral stories of bombings. There is every evidence the military knows much more about what is happen ing there than has been told If the military auth orites don't know it's certainly time that they found out
 So far we have been told:
 That few Jap planes raded Dutch Harbor dropped some bombs and did little damage
 That the Japs landed some men on Attu Kiska and Agattu islands
 That our forces have been bombing the Japs and have sunk some ships
 That operations continue.
 In addition told that the occupied islands were of little importance. We'll, if they aren't inn portant. what do the Japs want with them?
 We believe that the Japs setting up more things than few tents on these islands. We be- leve that action should be taken to drive the in- vaders from the islands before they are strong enough there to resist. One thing seems certain You can't take over any military position by bomb- ing, especially in Aleutian weather
 We may be able to damage an invasion base so that it can't be used until it is repaired but we can't take it. Bombing is only temporary move towards the main operation.

Japan On American Soil
(New York Times)

(New York Times)
 Over seven weeks ago the Japanese made their first assault on the Aleutian Islands. This was the attack on Dutch Harbor Several days later came tans had been occupied. This claim was at first dismissed by our own naval authorities with the light-hearted comment that none of our inhabited island or rocks troubled with uninpited visitors up to this time" Forty-eight hours later came the admission that the Japanese had indeed landed at Attu and Kiska but the assurance that these land- ings had been "small.n The general impression im- parted at that time by the Navy Department was accurately reflected by the comment in summary of the war news that naval authorities saw no strategic importance in the Japanese ncursionp
 Today, weeks after the first Japanese attack 1t is no longer possible to dismiss the invasion of the Aleutians of no strategic importance" The Japanese are three islands and they are there in ver-increasing force. A dispatch written by a correspondent of The Chicago Times and published in this newspaper, after being passed by the Navy censor reported concentration in Kiska Harbor of five Japanese heavy cruisers, two light cruisers ten destroyers two submarines and nine cargo and trans port vessels and other ships were sighted arriving from the south This is not token" invasion or a "face-saving' invasion designed to please the Japanese masses. It is business invasion an in yasion in force, an invasion designed to cut the lines of communication between North America and Siberia and prepare the ground for an attack on Continental Alaska
 The Aleutian Island adventure has been one of the most singular episodes of the war first because Of the manner in which our own naval authorities originally belttled the attack; second because of the remarkable delay in publishing news of the whole affair-an adequate report of events occurring in the second week of June was not made public by the Navy Department until the third week of July: and third, because, to this day counter attack has been made by our Navy in sufficient force to drive the Japanese from these dangerous bases We believe that American opinion will demand such a counter-attack before Japan is given much more time to dig in

 This is a Summer of contrasts, some humorous and tragic Few fireworks were shot off on the Fourth in the metropolitan area but Han Row and Ranking American boys carrying on the tradition boy lost in the Adrondacks for six days would once have had first page, but this year he got, in this newspaper only twenty -four lines the first page of the second section.

The bicycle, though frozen, came back.

ITS UP TO JOHN

John L. Lewis will have an early opportunity to demonstrate how far he's willing to go in support of the war effort.
 The War Production Board is se- riously concerned about a coal shortage next winter feels the sit uation will start getting tight about November unless coal production is increased. And the only way to increase it is by longer working hours in the mines.
 So Wendell Lund, head of WIPES Labor Division, has written to Tom Kennedy, Secretary-Treasurer of the United Mine Workers, asking whether the union would agree to longer hours.
 Although the letter went to Ken nedy, the real decision will be made by Lewis. So far there's been no answer.

Sorry, sir, but we've got to take your handbag"
 Returning to Washington, the BEW official found that Customs was stupidly mistaken on all counts. The order was not from BEW but WIPE, and it did not apply to hand bags.
 War Production Board had put out an order limiting importations to essential articles, to conserve shipping space. They had never in- tended to restrict anything that could properly be imported in per sonal luggage
 But Customs, acting by rule of thumb, declared that importation of ladies handbags would interfere with the war effort.

William Sullivan has given more
than half his 81 years to the organ
izatiOn of labor. In l9l6-May 21
to be precise-he was appointed
General international Representa-
tive for the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners of America,
and has been hard at the work
organizing carpenters ever since.
Although his appointment makes
him available for work anywhere
at the direction of the International
President of the organization, and
he has conducted organizational
drives in the Midwest and in
Pennsylvania, for the most part he
has served i'm New England.
Sullivan was born and reared i'm
New Haven and has done much
work in his home town.
MAYORS 1ST APPOINTEE
In 1881 when Mayor Murphy
made his first appointee, it was
Sullivan who received that honor
as a member of the New Haven
Board of Zoning Appeals. The
following year he became chairman
of that board and has served in
that capacity since.
Before his work as an Inter-
national Representative took up
most of his time, Sullivan was very
