Republican Senators Moore Of Oklahoma and Revercomb of West Virginia are going to have a hard time explaining to war veterans why they voted against the Overseas Election Bill in committee.

A Happier Christmas
Cincinnati Enquirer


 They say there will be shortage of Christmas trees this year The tinse and the electric lights that go to decorate the yuletide tree also will be on the shortish side And far presents are concerned we'll just try buy dad new tire or to give brother couple of boxes of shotgun shellsl Therel be distinct shortage of certain types of popular Christmas gifts-although the money with which to buy them will be more plentiful than ever before in our nation s history.
 But still in all it looks if it would be the happiest Christmas the world has in many years present trends continue for another eight weeks and there are good reasons to believe they will we will be closer to the goal of victory than we dreamed might be possible at this time year or two ago. The armies of Mussolini have been taken out of the fight; Hitler is staggering from series of blows in the east and south. Our fight in the South Pacific is progressing satisfactorily.
 There will be sorrow in thousands of American homes-sorrow that with the news of dear ones missing in action far-flung battle fronts. But even here there will be glimpse of happier days to come; days when the of peace shall shine again. when the clouds of shall have passed forever from the horizon
 That time is not yet But on this Christmas we will be much to permanent and lasting peace than We have been since Hitler began his first marches into the hapless smaller nations of Europe

PRICELESS TIRES

The motorist who, seeing his tires grow thinner thinner is of the opinion that flood of synthetic castings just around the corner is living in fools paradise Synthetic production is under way and will show large increases during l944 but experts in the industry know that the situation still is critical and that it will grow many months before it begins to grow better We may squeeze through in 1914 without serious cuts in, civilian transportaton-bu that win be possible only if everything works accord ing to schedule and if military demands are not increased beyond present estimates
 The job which immediately faces the synthetic industry is reequpping factories handle the new raw material Construction of new plants is about 90 per cent complete but actual manufacture of castings has not yet been started on large scale. Considerable essential supplies still are necessary before new machines be built and put into

LIQUOR INVESTIGATION

1 If the Senate committee inves- tgating the liquor industry digs deeper than the surface, it will find | %ne of the largest whiskey com Dimes in history now controlling the liquor business of the United States They will find that 80 to 90 percent Sf all U. s. whiskey is in the hands of four big companies. They will also find that the big four have been buying up little companies not merely to get their distilling equip nnent but to get their unused liq- DOT stocks.
 | Even six years ago, during the TENC monopoly hearings, it was 1ound that the big four-Schenley Seagrams, Hiram Walker and Ma fional Distillers produced GA per cent of all whiskey Equally i'm Rortant, they held 78 percent of all t-year- stocks.
 Since then, they have been buy ing more and more companies. Seagran1s recently bought Frank fort DLstilleries. thereby acquiring Pour Roses and Paul Jones. It is reported that National is now ne- gotiating to buy Century. Others which may fall under the drive are Prown-Forman, Bean Distilling and Park & Tilford.
 All this has caused the Federal Trade Commission to launch a quiet investigation under the Clay pn Act. The Clayton Act prohibits dny company from acquiring stock df another company to lessen com petition substantially.
 How much cooperation there is between the big four is not known 4ut 1t is significant that one bank Bankers Trust of N Y. has a hold on both Schenley and Seagrams through loans. Schenley borrowed $27.000J0 and Seagrams 28000,- 600, at about the same time.

Good and bad planetary aspects balance the day. which should be fortunate for merchants and in- dustrailists but unfavorable for labor
 HEART AND HOME: Routine tasks should be followed under this configuration. It is not good day for Christmas shopping. Letter writing and household activities are more promising of benefits.
 Under this configuration girls should not make important decis-
 ions. It is not favorable for saying
 Yes to suitor. Judgment is
 faulty at this time of general so- ciai upheavai, with the future of young men most uncertain. Only girls with wage-earning ability or independent means should risk
 marriage. m
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Under various necessities men and women will shift jobs in large numbers be- fore the first of the year Greatly increased efficiency will be attain ed, the seers foretell, by the careful adjustment of workers to jobs for which they are best fitted. Con- version of some plants for civilian needs and the expansion of others for wars demands will be profit able.
 NATIONAL ISSUES; The man. power shortage will direct public attention to the excess County, State and Federal Government en- ployees. Congress will investigate
 conditions in many parts of the country, if the stars are rightly
 read. There will be widespread agitation regarding the young men who escape military or naval ser rice through political influence.
 Civil service safeguards will focus inquiry, so will draft board re- eases on physicians certificates. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS. Students of the occult long have

ANTI-sUBsIDY FIGHT

It's a sure bet that the anti-sub- sidy bill fathered by Alabama's pa- ternal Henry Stegall which passed the House of Representative by a two-thirds vote, will also pass the Senate. This would mean the abol- ttion of subsidies on almost all products except those grown around Congressman Stegall's district - hamely peanuts and cotton-seed. It would also mean the end of the Presidents most cherished plan to check imitation.
 However, it is also considered a good bet that Congress would not pass the bill over the Presidents veto. The two-thirds on original passage would waver when it came 10 over riding a veto.

SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 28

Benefic aspects rule today, al though Mars is in threatening as- pect. Good news may be expected from certain battlefronts.
 HEART AND HOME: Women of all ages should benefit under this configuration which strengthens the will to serve Churches should draw large congregations. While the clergy gains in influence, teach CTS of philosophies, old and new. will have large followings.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This week in the world of trade is to be mark ed by activity in settling of plans for the new year and balancing ac- counts. Reduction of the number of employees may mark coming months as the war industries end contracts or prepare for new lines of work
 NATIONAL ISSUES; Those who realize the power of thought coun- sel less talking and more thinking on the part of the American pub lie Freedom of speech has been too greatly exercised, astrologers declare, because criticism and fear have been expressed by thought less persons. They emphasize the need of forming habits of construct i've mental effort.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s :: Intrigue, strife and great misery will be prevalent in Europe through coming weeks, it is forecast. Food will be needed for starving thou sands and illness will be prevalent. Violence, sabotage and widespread disorder in the East Indies is in- dicated. For the unfortunate per sons under Axis rule disiltlssion- ment and actual want will be gen. eral as Winter advances. Severe weather in many places will add to the suffering of both civilians and fighters. There is a sign .yead as indicating supreme crises in! the next few weeks which will hasten victory for the Allies.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of mixed in- lfluences. It will be fairly propitious for love affairs but decisions should not be made hastily
 Children born on this day prob ably will be original and independ- lent, quick in thought and action.

Campaign Against
Careless Talk Is
Under Way In State

Members of the Maryland Civilian
defense organizations including those
in this county have been asked to give
aggressive support to a campaign
against careless talk, by distributing
leaflets to homes and by warning
various individuals of the danger of
talking about things which are of
value to the enemy.
Little facts reveal big things, the
Army, Navy and F.BL feel. The
whereabouts of one man may locate a
division. His date Of departure may
disclose the sailing of convoy. His
equipment may reveal where he is
going. his training the type of opera
tons planned.
The curbing of loose talk is said
to be more important now than ever,
and it was pointed out that members
of the Civilian Defense corps in Mary
land can accomplish much by setting
a good example and serving as guard
ians against idle gossip in their COM

Silver Star Medal
Is Presented To
Friendsville Man
Pfc. Fred l.. COulsOn Receives
Award For GaIIantry In Action

Pfc Fred L. Coulson, of Friends
vile, has been awarded the Silver
Star medal, for gallantry in action,
July II, while serving with a cavalry
reconnaissance troop in Sicily.
Official explanation of the action
was as follows: "When a section of
the platoon of which Pfc. Coulson
was a member became trapped by
crossfire from an enemy armOred car
and a well concealed machine gun,
Pfc. Coulson, in order to bring fire
on the enemy so that the trapped sec
ton could withdraw, alone and with
out assistance, took the receiver of a
so callber machine gun, crossed 100
yards through an orchard, and after
climbing two rock walls and cross
ing another so yards of open ground
that was under heavy fire, found that
there was no cover for machine gun.
He then withdrew, dragging the so
caliber receiver to a slight depression
in front of wall where he assembled
the gun and opened fire on the
armored car and machine gun. AL
though under heavy fire, he continued
to fire upon the enemy until the
trapped section had withdrawn and
then he followed the platoon out. By
his courageous and prompt action
there wero only two casualties suf-
fered by the platoon whereas there
may well have been considerably
more. The courage, initiative and de-
termination displayed by Pfc. CouIson
is in keeping with the high traditions
Of the military service. The award was
issued by Troy H. Middleton, Major
General, U. S. Army.

To Mail Christmas
Club Checks Dec. /

Over $4,000 will be sent out from
the two Oakland banks on December
in Christmas Savings club checks,
it was announced this week. The
money will be distributed among more
than 225 depositors of the First Ma
tional Bank and the Garrett National
Bank in Oakland.
There has been a slight decrease
this year over previous years, which
was attributed to the fact that more
persons were using their money to
purchase war bonds, but most of
those who started the savings ac-
