given the Negro singer in barring her from it's hall Also she wanted a purely American program for the distinguished British visitors.
 However, when she looked over the program, she was disappoint- ed to see that Miss Anderson planned to sing exclusively several numbers from the classic concert repertoire.
 So, Mrs. Roosevelt tactfully sug- gested that this was to be wholey American program, and asked if she would not sing some negro spirituals.
 Miss Anderson did not seem to like the suggestion. She replied that all her music was in New York and it was too late to get it. Mrs. Roosevelt countered with the proposal that the White House send an airplane to New York and bring the music in ample time.
 But Miss Anderson was most un- enthusiastic. She raised the objec- tion that the accompanist with her in Washington could not play spiri- tuals. Mrs. Roosevelt in turn said that some of the best accompan- ists in the country lived in Wash

THE FAVORABLE FACTOR"

The tragic death of another skilled Alaskan flyer poses important question to the people of Alaska and to the transents who have been using air trans portation throughout the Territory. Why, it should be asked has there been such loss of life particu larly among skilled in Alaskan aviation, during recent months?
 The may lie, in part at least, in the increased pressure under which these flyers oper ating With military expansion in the district came the expansion of aviation. For year or more, every plane every pilot has been under constant pressure
 That pressure has in part, been mechanical In part it has been psychological
 Machines like minds will stand a certain amount of oter-use Then they go to pieces Parts may be replaced with ones but always there are those mechanical gadgets which are holdovers from the old And often these hold-overs wash out at times when they are needed most. Still it appears that the must go and that if Victory is to be achieved in the least possible time, we shall have to go along with what we have as long as we can.
 On the other hand, the mental strain under which flyers have been laborng in part be avoided The pilot recognizes the hazards of his profession, and long since has adjusted himself to it. What he has not been prepared for is the in creased psychological pressure under which his pas sengers place him

TO time for launching boats. In fact, many of the seamen don't even have time to get up on deck
 Consequently, life boats are being discarded in favor of life rafts, which hang suspended at the side, and can be dropped at once by single release from the bridge. Then the men who are lucky enough to be on deck when the torpedo strikes leap overheard and try to swim to a raft.
 The life belts are discarded be- cause they break too many arms. If a seaman, wearing a life belt of hard cork, leaps 20 feet into the water, the belt flies up and wrenches his arms. Belts of a .softed material such as kopek are being used instead.
 Shift from life boats to life rafts was a slow process, because of shortage of materials. When the War Shipping Administration was desperately trying to getrafts for merchant vessels, they found a whole warehouse full of them in Brooklyn-but they belonged to the Navy, and were being reserved for naval vessels now under construc- .tion. The Navy declined to release them.
 There's limit to the number of sinkipgs a seaman can weather even though he may not be physi- cally injured. The Public Health Service finds that many men who have gone through such ordeals become mentally deranged, and suffer hallucinations- They require rest cure before going back to sea again

Organizing Young Brains
lPhiladelphia Recordl

tHnllaQelpIlld FNeCOluY
 All America will applaud the Army Navy plan to take over $50 or more American universities and colleges train 250000 young soldiers and sailors in specialized branches vital to the war effort.
 Winning the war boils down to matter of brains Sheer numbers of men and huge tonnage of ships are required for a goba war but factor is so important as making utmost of our mental eouipmeht available That is what this plan is in- tended to do
 To carry out this far-reaching program, and convert colleges and universities including the big gest into technical schools for the Army and Navy, Liberal arts" will have to undergo stringent curtail- ment Although the Navy will retain history and English the Armys courses will be almost entirely technical
 To forego some of the classic education IS not asking colleges make any more of sacrifice than all branches of business and industry have been obliged to make
 Indeed, such sacrifice will mean saving our institutions of higher learning.
 Instead of opposing the military plan, most Of the colleges are emphatcally in favor of it, and ap- parenty had an important part in drafting it.
 Already the average college enrolment has been cut 30 percent Empty classrooms and bankruptcy are in the offing as result of lowered draft ages and other war factors. So the schools have readily agreed with the Government:
 Better to convert to war purposes and surVive, than to close up and perish
 All able bodied males of college age are destined for military service The responsibility of determn- ing their specific training belongs to the Army and Navy.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not compel"
FRIDAY, JANUARY p

Good and evil planetary influ- ences contend today which may start with disappointing news of some sort. It is an suspicious date for signing contracts
 HEART AND HOME. Adverse aspects govern many of the acti- yities or plans of women, today. There may develop opposition to them in certain well paid Govern ment jobs. The stars seem to pre- sage sweeping reductions among holders of positions due to political preferment. This is an unfavorable sway for love affairs. Girls may expect little attention in coming weeks when letter writing from far off battlesl1ips and Army centers appear to be frozen" The even ing may be suspicious for forming new friendships.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS; Merchan- dising and manufacturing are un- der a good direction of the stars today. It is promising for new con- tacts and purchasers. Government waste will be discussed by bankers who look forward to the Spring with apprehension regarding Uncle Sams empty pocketbook and piling debts. The stars presage an effort to re- duce unnecessary expenditures as many able bodied Federal employeS exchange desks for tanks and type writers for machine guns. Prosper ity continues in every state and much money continues to circulate, although war bonds will be gener- ously bought.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Outlawing Of strikes will be demanded as in- dependent WalkoutS cause tempOr- ary inconvenience. Although the planets presage full cooperation of union in all branches of war work, unauthorized groups must be pre- vented from discrediting labor, the seers declare Astrologers read in POA tCA4No HULL u the people of the United States who are to know the full meaning of war by this date in l944.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Signs are discerned which seem to indicate that Japanese submarines or airplanes, or both, will visit the Pacific Coast where they will do little damage AS in the Pearl Har- Dor attack, this visit will be benefi- | cial in that it will awaken the people to their full responsibilities in helping to win the war. Again the seers foretell greater perils with in the United States than are like ly to develop outside it's bound- aries
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fair suc- 1 cess and much happiness, if they proceed with the utmost caution 1 in business.
 Children born on this day pro bably will have high ambitions jus tified by extraordinary talents and great ability in using them. They may have success after overcoming many obstacles.
