MORE INCOME TAX
 RETURNS NOW \ DUE

TACOMA, Wash, Oct l6-First returns on the withholding of in- come tax are due in October from approximately 35,0OO employers in the district of Washington and Alaska, and any unjustified delin- quency will result in penalties of not less than $l0 regardless of the amount of tax involved, Internal Revenue Collector Clark Squire pointer out today.
 Amounts withheld during July, August and September must be in- cluded in this first report under the withholding provisions of the new tax law. Form WI is to be used.
 These forms are being mailed to employers, but failure to receive one is not accepted as reasonable excuse for delinquency.
 For failure to file return within the time prescribed by law, there is a delinquency penalty of 5 per cent for the first 30 days or less.
 
 with 5 per cent more fo reach ad- ditional 30 days or fraction thereon, not to exceed a total of 25 per cent. The minimum penalty is $l0, even though the tax may amount to but a couple of dollars.
 If the tax is not paid when due, interest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum must be added. This minimum penalty likewise is $l0, re- gardless of how little the interest may be.
 Employers who may be delinquent both as to filing return and inak- ing payment will face a minimum penalty of $20.
 Penalties were assessed against employers who neglected to file victory tax returns on time, and the same course must be followed with respect to withholding tax delin- quencies.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20

This is an unimportant day ln planetary direction. Benefic aspects are mildly active in the morning. | HEART AND HOME: This is a favorable day for constructive work of all sorts and should encourage household tasks avoided because of their difficulties. Housekeepers are to be dependent more and more upon their own strength and resourceful- ness. There is a promising sign for whatever enhances the charm and comfort of home where neglect due to outside employment will be most unfortunate under this configuration. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Science will offer opportunities for the establish ment of postwar industries that will provide amazing benefits. Men ana women with foresight will be able to invest in novel enterprises that promise comforts for the average family. Furniture and clothing as well as houses will afford beauty and luxury at slight cost. America is to have new industrial frontiers in which clever persons will become successful pioneers.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Educational institutions continue under aspects denoting changes that emphasize the practical and utilitarian, astrologerS announce, but they predict that a new value will be placed upon the academic courses of the past. Within a decade the cultures of vanished periods in history will be revived. One of the chief interests of the present will be the study of foreign languages in which Americans are to become proficient.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Weariness in well-doing should not be permitted to affect our national defense efforts. If the stars are wisely interpreted there will be some sort of attack upon the United States by the Axis powers. The Pacific Coast may be bombed as face-saving gesture by the Japanese when their defeat is ac- knowledged by them, the seers de- clare, but again surprise and treach- cry are to be expected
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of varied sue cesses. Progress in war service is 1 foretold
 Children born on this day prob ably will have positive characters that enable them to fulfill well grounded ambitions. They should be highly intelligent.

would be to balance Germany oil against England, leaving the Soviet the master of both.
 Already the Russians have played the cards cleverly to this end. They have a definite German policy; we have not. After capturing the top officers of the German 9th Army at Stalingrad, the Russians proceed- ed to woo them. With them, they have now organized an officers Corps" inside Russia.
 The German Officers Corps in the days before Hitler was the rul- ing force in Germany. They never cared for Hitler, used him only as political tool. Knowing that, the Russians are building up German forces friendly to Russia, first in order to destroy Germany from within, second to create pro-Rus- sian sentiment in Germany later. This may be the beginning of the new Russian role of balance-of- power
 The United States might also play the balance-of power game if the White House was not so closely tied to Churchill; for we enjoy even greater geographical protection than Russia.
 However, our role at Moscow will be to woo Russia away from her balance power role into col lective security pact. It will be a tough job, especially for Secretary Hull, who does not understand Rus sian temperament and who has al- ready aroused Russian suspicious. However, the Russians are also realistic. They know that while an alliance with Great Britain is an

ONCE RUSSIA WANTED
 ALLIANCE

It will be a good argument, but it will have definite drawbacks It is reported that in 1922 Russia ask ed us for just such military al liance and Roosevelt turned it down.
 That was when Russia was suf- fering crushing defeats in the Ukraine, losing 100000 men in a week, seemed certain to lose at Stall ingrad, and was definitely a poor risk. The Russians then wanted a pact to insure that the U. s. A. would help them get their territory back But apparently it looked to Roosevelt like a tough proposition to get through the Senate. The answer was No.
 Today the situation is reversed. Today Russia is on the taking end, not asking. Once Germany IS de- feated, she can take almost any thing she wants. Her armies are moving toward the gates of the Baltic countries. If she marches on we are not going to send an army to stop her.
 Furthermore, Russia now finds herself in a position unique in her history She holds the balance of power in Europe. She holds the position Britain held for more than a century,
