OPENING ARTERIES

The destruction by British bombers of two of the
largest hydroelectric power dams in Germany was
not alone one of the most spectacular feats of the
war-it came especially heavy blow to the
Nazi industrial machine of the Ruhr Valley.
The dams broken by the Royal Air Force at
tacks were important units of the power supply for
many hundreds-even thousands-of Nazi war plants.
Together they impounded 1886 100000 tons of water
great reservoir of electrical horsepower Although
they served industrial area already hard and ire
ouently pounded by Allied bombers, the loss OF the
dams greatly aggravates the harm to Naz war in
dustries The building of dams is long, slow pro-
cess even under peacetime circumstances, and Sir
Archibald Sinclair Air Minister of England says the
walls of the Moline and Elder Dams were broken, and
the power plant of at least one swept away. The
probability is that the destruction of the power
producing facilities of the other was likewise COM

Automatic Wage Initiation
New York Times

New York Times
The six-day week which Secretary Ickes has or
dered in the coal mines 80 percent increase
in the weekly pay of the miners as compared with
that for five-day week. This means 80 percent
Increase in wages for only 20 percent increase in
hours and perhaps for much smaller increase in
the output coal
The coal situation serves as reminder that in
the compulsory time and -a-haf provisions of the
Wage-Hour Act we have under present circumstances
an automatic device for initiation. The longer the
working week under this system the greater the in
flatonary effect becomes. Suppose that under a
forty hour week lin industries in which unions have
not secured as in coal an even shorter basic week
the basic average wage is ST hour If that in
dustry goes up foryfour hours the average hourly
wage automatically moves up to $104l2 an hour. II
the average week in the industry goes up to forty
eight hours the average hourly wage in the industry
automatically moves up to $108 13 If the indus
try moves up to fifty-two hours the average hourly
rate in the industry advances to $1l12, and so on
Thus the legally compulsory time and a-half pro-
visions must have of two effects. Either they
must hold down the utilization of manpower by dis
couraging an increase in hours because the increased
product be made only at so percent increase in
wages, the increased product, if made, is nee
essary made at a higher cost Obviously if in
crease our man-hours and our production under this
system we cannot hope to hold rigid price ceilings
themselves even if no wage increases were made on
any other grounds-eventually force breaking
through of those ceilings. Clearly incentive wage
systems based on actual production of individual
workers or groups of workers would be far better
both in encouraging production and in preventing in
flation than the automatic compulsory time and-a-
half systems.

The Juneau Local, No. 2247, of
the United Brotherhood of Car

held well attended special busy
session Friday evening at which

Benefic aspects dominate today
which should be fortunate for in
dustry and for military affairs. The
date is suspicious for initiative.
HEART AND HOME: Under this
configuration girls will find that
they are happiest when they let
their heads lead their hearts. Fewer
impulsive rolpances and hasty mar
riages are presaged. Womens war
experiences this month will prove
their splendid heroism and poise in
the face of danger. In civil life as
well as on battle fronts where nurs-
es daily risk their lives, the wives.

ing men will render remarkable
service which inevitably will have
lasting effects upon the national
character. Much that once was i'm
Iportant to American women will

BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Industrial

other shares on the market as mir
acles in production mark each week.
now that the nation has gained it's
full stride. Demand for electric
power will increase. This is a lucky
day for initiative and enterprises
launched on this date should be
successful. Investments in novel
ventures. based on recent chemical
discoveries or mechanical inven-
tons. should be profitable.
NATIONAL ISSUES: False
alarms have been frequent since
we have been in the war, or rather

The Presidents failure to visit
with Gov. Coke Stevenson of Texas
on his recent trip to Mexico was
unintentional and based chiefly on
the fact that he was in hurry
to meet the President of Mexico

He had conferred with Gov. Stew

gard, on his previous trip through
Texas. What with the short

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline

SUNDAY, JUNE 8

Benefic aspects rule positively
today which should be most for
tunate for those who seek peace
of mind or physical relaxation.
HEART AND HOME: Religious
observances will engage thousands
of Americans hitherto Indifferent
to the spiritual side of life,
Churches and the clergy will bene-
fit greatly as the trend toward prac-
teal application of Bible teachings
is definite. UNCONVENTIONAL lines
will disappear as Aquarium influ-
ences are reflected in humanity.
Uranus, now so powerful in influ-
ence, awakens the soul and quick
ems intuition. All the signs promise
that the new world produced
through war agonies will bring to
man realization of universal broth
erhood.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Steel pro-
duction will be great this month
when raw material anxieties may
be relieved by large output of iron
ore. Exploration of promising new
oil fields should be fortunate.
Cleared to its highest speed our
great manufacturing power will
gain amazingly, even though many
previous records have been broken
this year The coming week should
be favorable for our shipping.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Sectional
rivalries in the United States will
be evident this Summer when dis
cussion of postwar plans is general.
Many theories, social and economic,
will be broadcast and certain of
these will revive old prejudices. The
seers declare that social barriers of
many sorts will disappear through
war associations. Army, Navy and
Air Forces will continue to prove
that "a mans man for a that"
The significance of lineage and
bank accounts disappears on battle
! fronts. AE
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S:
Russia continues under aspects
that are promising, even though
there must be certain reverses from
time to time. Stain is subject to
planetary influences that indicate
his far-sightedness as he makes his
plans for the future of the Soviet
government. His relations with
Britain should be closer than in
the Spring and more cordial with
the United States which will fulfill
every promise made to Russia. The
seers stress the fact that the ideals
of the greatest democracy and those
of the Soyiets are Numerically OPP
posed, but nevertheless lasting CO.
operation is possible
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of exceptional
good luck. Recognition and ever
honors will come to many.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be fortunate in talents ano
in personality. Life to most of them
will be worthwhile. Popularity and
success are indicated

form miracles in cultivating this
years crops, they prophesy.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR
If those who seek to. re-establish
monarchies knew anything about
astrology they would avoid any fu-
tile attempts, the seers declare. The
Aquarium age is to bring liberty,
equality and justice to jewellers on
the planet Earth, it is prognosti-
Gated. War is to be the transition
process through which a new age
is assured. The old order must be
destroyed and at great cost to
those who defend human rights.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year OF extraordin-
airy benefits in which there will be
happiness in courtship and mar
rage.
Children born on this day prob
ably Will have pleasantly eventful
lives, They may, be remarkably
talented and extraordinarily for
tunate.

kept as a private.
His first service was in the In
telligence Office OF the Seventh
Army Corps Headquarters in Biz

vice, he was suddenly removed from
that office and assigned to latrine
duty.
He got himself transferred to

he was busted out of the course,

"a graduate of the Union Theologi-

Shenango Depot in Pennsylvania,

PROTECTING THE WIDOWS

A Maryland constituent came
into the office of hard-workmg
Senator George Radcliffe the other
day and virtually wept on the
shoulder of his secretary, Miss
Bertha Joseph, over the Ruml
Plan. He was for it, but feared
Congress would not pass it.
Think he implored, what the
Runl plan will mean to widows
and orphans. A man will pay his
taxes as he goes. His wife an
children won't have to save and
scrimp to pay up his back taxes
after he dies. We've got to protect
these widows and orphans"
Later the same evening Miss Jo-
seph .strolled through the. crowded
cocktail lounge of the Mayflower
Hotel where she noticed the elo-
auent tax defender of widows and
orphans, now deep in high-balls
and conversation with beautiful
creature.

Joseph whispered: rs that a wi
