HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
bat do not compel"
TUESDAY, AUGUST 10

! Good and evil signs seem to
balance in the horoscope for today
The morning hours should be more
fortunate than those later in the
afternoon.
HEART AND HOME: There is a
sign for intuition and foresight.
This should be a favorable time
to seek employment, especially for
teachers and for women who are
technical experts. Nurses Is o
should be lucky in obtaining as
signments where they will be able
to give most-needed service. Dis
appointing news may be received
under this rule of the. stars. Ro-
mantle girls should forget sum-
mer flirtations and should prepare
for hard work in college unless
they are employed in war work.
The seerS emphasize the extreme
value of education in postwar days.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Inheri-
lance taxes in large amounts will
be discussed widely, because pro-
minent men and women in bust
ness and public life will end ca
reers, leaving fortunes to their
heirs. An unusual percentage OF
deaths among prominent citizens is
forecast as a result of war strain
In England a noteworthy career
will end suddenly this month, it is
foretold. While wage-earners of all
ranks prosper, former possesSors of
wealth will surrender large amounts
of money and will find financial
holdings reduced.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Educators
this month will prepare for dras-
tic changes in courses in schools
and colleges. The stars are read
as indicating emphasis on tn e
practical instead of the academic.
Astrologers who foretell extreme
stress on scientific and mechanical
training warn that it is unwise to
forsake ideals that long have rep
resented culture In postwar days
the arts will gain renewed respect
as the extent of Axis destruction
is realized. Irreparable losses will
arouse appreciation for what has
been ruthlessly annihilated.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S:
Eastern Europe continues under a
sway indicating intense economic
depression. There are signs indi-
eating revolt in many occupied
countries. Berlin and Budapest are
under evil portents presaging de-
structive bombings. Bloodshed and
crime will mark cities where des-
perate fears affect the underworlds
Although this month has demon
strated the overwhelming power Of
the United Nations, September is
to make a page in history more
thrilling than any previously writ
ten. Victories are to be costly in
American lives, it is prophesied.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of a year of ups
and downs. Unexpected benefits are
prognosticated. Travel should be
avoided whenever possible.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be bright in mind and
kindly in nature Good luck will
attend them through careers that
promise much happiness.

WAR LIBERTY LEAGUE

Officials here are crediting AL
fred p. Sloan, chairman of Gen
eral Motors, with reviying the old
Liberty League under another
name. He has just sent a round
robin letter to a large number of
MISUNDERSTANDING some OF his
own automobile dealers - urging
that they raise fund of $780,
600 TO be spent for educating the
American public OH 'the problems
of industry.
Since this fund is for l943 alone,
and since S1,300,000 is no small
amount te spend on propaganda IN
any year, Administration leaders
draw the natural deduction that
it is chiefly another Liberty League
war chest aimed at the New Deal.
Joining Sloan in this appeal are
other one-time Liberty Leaguers
and anti Roosevelt men, including
j. Howard Pew, of Sun Oil, one OF
the COP bosses of Pennsylvania;
Colby Chester, chairman of Gen.

man of National Steel; A. w

WASHINGTON, March %
(R)-The Senate's mine young
Republicans" appeared likely
today to cast the deciding votes
in a desperate coalition struggle
to block passage of farm labor
cost bill which opponents charge
would open the flood gates for
initiation.
Supported by Minority Lead
er McNary of Oregon, the ad-
ministration swung its full
weight behind a move by Sena-
tor Lucas (D-IlD to send back to
the agriculture committee a
House approved m e sure re-
curing the inclusion of all farm
labor costs in calculating the
parity standards to which farm
price ceilings are anchored.
Lucas proposal Clipped the
ordinarily solid farm bloc, but
even these defections conceded
ly are not enough to tip the
scales unless majority of the
nine freshmen Republicans goes
along.
Senator Bankhead (,D-Ala),
backstage manager of the labor
cost measure, told reporters
the admittedly close issue de-
pended on this group.
IF the new Republicans who
came here pledged to help the
farmers vate against us, then the
bill may go back to committee"
he said. A canvass indicated
most of them might do that.
Such a result would give the
administration its first taste of
victory in what previously have
been singularly unsuccessful eff
forts to stop the farm bloc's pell
nell rush to jack up parity, a
fluctuating standard calculated
to equalize farmers crop returns
with the prices of manufactured
articles they buy.
If won, the victory promised
to be fleeing, since Democratic
Leader Barkley of Kentucky
conceded that the bill might
bounce right back after brief
hearings by the agriculture COM
mittee. Almost everyone agreed
that, once brought to a vote in
the Senate, the measure would
win overwhelming approval de-

Dispatches from Vichy said
the news of the Madrid resigna-
tions arrived shortly after the

the German rulers in Vichy an

(P) - A 44-year-old divorce
was held without charge today
after Mrs. T. Karl Simmons, 5,
widely known horseWoman, was
shot to death during an alterca-
ton in a hotel RI ON.
Sheriff A. Garland Mars said
the divorce, Mrs. Ella B. How
ard of Fort Worth. Tex, offered
no motive. She was questioned
last night shortly after the shoot
ing, and assistant county attor-
ney M. S. Simms said she told
him:
Il had checked into the Mayo

mons was standing there with
a gun in her hand.
She said, L am going to kill
YOU / made grab for the
gun and it went off twice. Then
we struggled over the gun and
the next thing l knew she fell
to the floor and l could see she
was shot"
Mrs. Simmons died almost in
stantly. There were three bull
let holes, one through her heart,
another throu. her shoulder
and one in her ham,. lear where
her body sprawled in a corner
we're two more bullet holes in
the wall.
Mrs. Simmons husband, a
wealthy independent oil opera
tor, arrived a short time after
the shooting. He was distraught.
Sheriff Marrs said he would ask
him to make a statement later.
Deputy Sheriff BURNS Brown
said he found Mrs. Howard in
another room on the same floor.
A pistol was on the dresser. At
the sheriff's office, Mrs. How
ard, although showing some
strain, maintained her compos-
ure. She declined to make a
statement until she had con-
ferred with an attorney.
Brown said she told him:
This is an awful thing to
have happened. l hid planned
to leave Tulsa Wednesday night,
but ouldn't get a reservation un-
til IL pm. Thursday. And then
this had to happen"
