the enemy's tanks and cripple his
mechanical forces completely.
This is just what happened to
Rommel in his recent African de-
bacle. He had previously enjoyed
superiority in anti-tank weapons.
While the British were still using
rs nm. gun, Rommel (the desert
fox brought into action an 88
nm. gun, and to conceal 1t from
the British until they were on top
of it, buried the guns in the sand
This was what caused the rout
of the British forces last June.
But now the British have
stepped up the calibre. They have
an American made los NM gun,
mounted on a tank chassis, and
it was this weapon, known as a
tank destroyer, which outshot the
German 88's and crippled the Ger
man tanks in the most recent
battle of Egypt.
Thus the tank has met its Ne
mesis in the form of a tank de-
stroyer. The only defense against
the destroyer is to load on more
almor-but the more the armor,
the less mobility.
Ordnance experts see the next
step as a step into the sky. In
other words, the next tank will be
an airplane. 1t will be a heavily
armored plane, protected by fight
er escort, and moving at low alti-
tudes to do from the air the same
sort of destruction which the tank
has been able to do from t h e
ground.
Meanwhile, the tank is still op-
Grating in Russia. But experts here
are awaiting the time when t h e
tank destroyer l05 NM gum APP
pears on the Russian side, to blast
German tanks out of action. 1t is
merely matter OF shipping.

The War Powers Bill
New York Times

New York Times
Among the measures which died when the
Seventy-seyenth Congress adjourned was the Third
War Powers Bill. It's adoption had been urged by
the Administration primarily in order to give the
Government authority to suspend tariff laws and
regulations which now handicap the war effort A
good case was made for the enactment of some such
legislation. Mr. Patterson of the War Department,
MIR Foirestal of the Navy. Admiral Land of the
Maritime Commission and other officials cited spe-
cific instances in which existing tariff laws have
either delayed or made much more difficult the
procurement of essential materials from foreign
countries and the shipment of supplies to the battle
fronts. AS one example on the basis of Mr. For
restas testimony the flow of arpane parts between
the United States and Canada has been impeded But
despite much evidence of this kind the Ways and
Means Committee decided to delay action on the Adj
mnistrations bill
One reason for the failure of the bill is under
standable and up to point, praiseworthy There
is healthy swing of sentiment in Congress against
the granting of unlimited discretionary powers to the
Executive But reads the testimony given
before the Ways and Means Committee it is readily
apparent that another important influence here
old-fashioned American protectioniSmp still going
strong even in the midst OF crisis that threatens
our existence as nation. We just beginning to
experience meat shortage, which will become in
creasingy acute; but farm bloc Congressman arose
to protest against the adoption of any legislation
that would admit another ounce of beef from Ar
gentina. We lack strategic materials of many
kinds they will apparently come into the country
only the fierce opposition of high-tarff groups
This is short-sightedness at its glazing worst.
1t is highly desirable to define sharply possible
any grant of discretionary power made by Congress
But it is at least equally desirable to fight war Of
this magnitude without tying hand behind our
back with tariff tape The Administrators bill de-
serves another hearing when the Congress
meets.

END OF THE TANK

Army Ordnance experts now
foresee the time when the tank,
which made France fall, will be
outmoded and discarded as a use
full weapon In fact, they say the
tank will be discarded for large
scale combat before this war is
over.
Death of the tank is the anti
tank gun. If you can mount a
large enough gun-and give it suf-
ficient mobility-you can blow up

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compel"
SATURDAY, JANUARY 9

This is an unimportant date in
planetary direction, but it may
stand out in history for heroic
deeds. The stars encourage COM
pletion of tasks we'll started
HEART AND HOME: Good news
for many families is presaged by
the stars. Women will gain i'll
courage as they think of husbands
and sons engaged in war service,
but they will have severe tests
in the next few weeks. The stars
Promise a steadily gaining momen
tum in the victorio's movements
Of the United Nations. Surprises
will be many as returning soldiers
and sailors in limited numbers en-
Joy leaves and frrloughs. Women
will prove efficient in hospitals
where they will demonstrate abll-
ity as physicians as well as nurses.
On home fronts there will be much
demand for medicine ard surgery
in coming weeks.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Lack of
the usual staffs of employees in
banks and martS of trade vii
cause the expert simplication OF
many commercial methods of pro
ccdure. Men and women sum-
moned from well-earned letiremen.
will find happiness in the dis
covery that their experience is
valuable and that their powers are
not seriously impaired. By com
bining well-tried routines with
modern ideas many advantagesare
modern ideas many advantages are
for there are aspects stimulatins
to cooperation and readjustments,
NATIONAL ISSUES: While the
nation works to facilitate the war
progress of the United Nations,
there will be the most intense in
terest in preparedness for peace.
Astrologers predict that, as each
victory is won, the movement TO
assure wise and just terms as
foundation for the new order, will
gain greatly Allies will unite for
peace as Loyalty as they have unit
ed for war. The mistakes that fol-
lowed the First World War win
not be repeated, if the stars are
wisely interpreted Il
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
Two years ago foreign seers read
in the skies forecasts of unusual
interest regarding Turkey, which
they declared might act as a
bridge" helpful to the cause of
right There is now a sign that
seems to presage an amazing role
for peace which will be played by
Turkey. Her progressed sun in con-
junction with Jupiter has given as
surance that Turkey will be iden-
tified with the victors. Jupiter's
transit over her ascendant seems
to assure new and prosperous
period.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of year of aid
and sympathetic understanding in
important crises due to the war.
Coming months should be fairly
fortunate.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be fairly lucky although
they may experience vagaries Of
fortune. They should be highly
talented, independent and indus
triouS.
