Mr.. Ickes Takes a Cut
Cincinnati Enquirer)

There has been but one thing about Secretary
of Interior Harold L. Ickes which the nation
could bank he has been certain to do the thing
least expected He has turned out to be a greater
hater of tradition than his boss in the White
House.
The Secretary now has outdone himself in the
outlandish the unheard of times when virtually
every agency of government-particularly of Mr.
Roosevets governments Selling upon the war as
for greater budget requests Mr. Ickes asks
less money than he received for the Interior Depart
ment year ago.
He not only asks less; he has cut his budget re-
quirements by almost one-half! His estimate for
the forthcoming year is $82.l8S,576. For the year
just ending the Interior Department received
Sl92 100000.
This, indeed is a remarkable performance for
any bureaucratic administrator in this any other
administration. But the curmudgeon as Mr.. Ickes
has labeled himself, is remarkable He has
to his credit and his dscredit many unusual records
Not the least of these is the winning to his support
leaders in Americas oil industry, following his APP
pointment to the post of oil administrator.
When he was given the job the oil men of the
country raised loud and logical objections There
was little in Ickes past which indicated that he
could untangle the situation to the satisfaction of
industrial management. He had been at work on the
assignment less than year when most of the petro-
leum administrators of the nation were solidly be-
direct TO the President when it appeared likely that
Hard Boiled Harold might be removed from the
position
But, in all his long and spectacular political
career, it is doubtful if Mr. Ickes caused
greater sensation than when he appeared before
the House Appropriations Committee the other day
with his request for cut in revenue He got it,
all right. The Committee melted perhaps by the
Secretary's example, not only gave him the reduc-
ton he asked but boosted his ante another five per-
cent-boosted it downward!
There were good reasons for the reductions.
Prortes had cut out the possibility of expenditures
for the Bureau of Reclamation on anything like its
past record part of the work of the Bureau
of Mines has been taken by agencies and
their costs removed from the Interior budget
The point is that Mr.. Ickes recognized the reduc-
tons in every place where changes made them pos
sible Even his Solid Fuels Bureau fund which just
now is natural for appropriations APP
peal, was held below the last years totals.
The remarkable Mr. Ickes continues remarkable
1t is a pity, however that more of Mr.. Roosevelts
appontees couldn't follow his economy example

HOROSCOPE
The stars incline.
but do not compel"
SUNDAY, JUNE 81

This is not an important day in
planetary direction. The stars
strengthen persons in authority and
that means added influence for the
clergy as well as for statesmen and
officers in the armed forces.
HEART. AND HOME: Under this
configuration the mind may be
more serene, less sensitive to world
woes and domestic anxieties, than
in recent weeks. The churches will
benefit as they offer solace to many
persons usually little concerned
with any phase of religion. The
Bible will be more generally studied
than in any previous period of his
tory and again the prophecies will
be interpreted from pulpit and by

radio. While old faiths awaken
neglected loyalties novel philoso-
phies will gain supporters.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Through
the war, in which the expanding
needs of the United Nations have
inspired super energies our econ
omic progress will be amazing. The
people of the United States are
learning for the first time their
capacity for production and also
the possibilities of spending the
wealth of the nation. To experts
the financial problems of the flu
ture win appear most menacing but
those who read the stars predict
superb postwar opportunities to
use our knowledge and our wealth
for the general good and for our
own yell-enJrenched national
plans.
NATIONAL ISSUES: The pro-
phecy by astronomers that Septem-
Der 1915. when Neptune is in con-
junction with Jupiter in Libra, will
be a time when a new set of ma
tional values will prevail has been
accepted as the probable date for
war to end with a great victory for
the United Nations. According to
certain signs, however, peace condi-
tions probably will not prevail until
after 1945, perhaps two years later.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
Summer which brings to all who
are engaged in world combat GER
tain climatic benefits nevertheless
will increase the prevalence of dis
ease among the troops in foreign
lands. American medical men will
prove their great abilities in saving
lives and preventing epidemics and
American surgeons will perform
wonders in their care of the wound
ed These professional men will
prove outstanding heroes.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of happiness
in romance and in domestic circles.
War strain will weld the bonds of
love.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be honest, trustworthy
and industrious. Many will be
dreamers who make their dreams
come true.

BUSINESS AFFAIRS: American
business will achieve greater won

lesson of broadest possible cooper

ture when what is good for one
group is demonstrated good for all.
Competition will be free from I'M

Today should be fortunate for con-
tracts and agreements and most
stimulating to constructive work of

NATIONAL ISSUES: Again
astrologers warn of omens that
seem to presage dangers within the
nation. Sabotage is forecast on a
scale that will prove farreaching

McNARY WINS POINT

I The only Congressional caller
who came away from the White
House with any real concession
was Charley McNary. the champ
ion of the Gamers. McNary first
asked for an increase in ceiling
prices for canned goods. To this
the President replied:
Then Mr. Murray and Mr. Green
will come along with demands for
higher wages
He went on to emphasize once
more how the British had held
their food costs down. AT this point
Justice Jimmy Byrnes interposed a
polite interruption.
I'm sorry, Mr.. President, but I
have to disagree with you there,
he said, and explained that the
British situation was not at all
analogous to ours.
They don't raise much food over
there" he pointed out. They get
it, from u.s."
.Byrnes gave a brief but detailed
exposition during which the Presi-
dent listened carefully. His only
remark was: Winston told me they
handled that very well over there.
Upshot of the conversation was
that Byrnes was asked to talk tc
the War Labor Board about per-
hitting an increase in wages fol
eannery workers, SO the Gamers
could compete with the high wages
paid in shipyards and airplane
plants.
