CHRISTMAS IN THE WHITE
HOUSE

In the dear dead days" of eco
nomic depression back in 1884,
Christmas in the White House be-
gan two days before with a tea
to members of the Presidents staff.
But not today. The RooSe-
velts like to make a lot of Christ
mas, love to have their many chill
dren and grandchildren around
them But it was not that way last
Christmas. Four boys are in the
service, scattered all over tn e
world, the many grandchildren also
were scattered throughout tn e
U.S.A. :. However, Mrs. Roose-
Welt planned a small family tree
with candles. "A Christmas
tree" she said, does not look right
without real candles. II must smell
of hot evergreen" But the
tree was treated with fireproof
solution. Economical Cal Coo
lidge always gave his office staff
pass-me-on gifts which he had re-
ceived the year before. Chief
highlight of the Hoover's Christ
mas was rotund Larry Richey
dressed as Santa Claus, jumping
cut from the fire place in the East
Room loaded with gifts for tn e
Hoover grandchildren Mrs
Hoover liked to turn out all the
lights while the family formed a
procession through the White
House holding lighted candles.
Mr. Hoover led the procession, SOL
en1nly grasping a candle in one
hand.

FORGOTTEN COUNTRY

A lonely old diplomat died in
Washington the other day, almost
unnoticed. He was the representa-
tive of one of Europe's littlest
countries. one of the first to be
swallowed by the Axis.
For twenty years Faik Bey Kan
itza, Minister of Albania, had won
friends for his obscure country. But
suddenly in April, 1899 his diplo-
matte world ceased to exist when
Mussolini, greedily watching Hitler
occupy Austria, decided that Italy's
turn had come. He marched into
oefenseless Albania.
The Queen of Albania had given
birth to son and heir "a hours
before, was forced to flee to
Greece. Kanitza never got over
that. That poor baby" he moaned
almost more upset over the welfare
OF the tiny Crown Prince than
the occupation of his country.
But he was the only one in Of
ficial Washington who seemed up
set. Cordell Hulls State Depart
ment made no move or protest.
kanitza was not even given the
courtesy OF being kept on the Of
ficial Diplomatic List, gesture
accorded all the other occupied
countries. The State Department
was in the act OF appeasing Mus
solini- Albania didn't count.
Minister Kanitza immediately
left the Mayflower Hotel, managed
by an Italian, and moved to an

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
bat do not Compel
SUNDAY, JANUARY 3

Aspects that encourage spiritual
development are active today.
Churches should benefit. In war
zones chaplains will prove them
selves heroes on battlefields.
HEART AND HOME: Bible study
will be pursued by the men and
women of families hitherto indif-
ferent to religion or philosophy.
Bereavements due to war will turn
attention to spiritual development
and teachers of rare wisdom will
supplement the work of the clergy.
It has been foretold that on the
Pacific coast will be established
many groups of students of the oc-
cult. men and women of broad Gull
ture and wide experience. Pilgrims
to centers OF philosophy established
in places especially favorable in
their planetary influences will be
numerous after the war, it is fore
told
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Churches
and the great philanthropic or
carnations should profit under this
CONFORMATION which encourages
generosity. The coming week may
be exceedingly quiet along the
trade lanes but there is sign
read as presaging the establish
.nent of novel manufacturing or
plantations to supply new CONNER
cial needs. The war which has
wrought destruction in all parts of
the world, will inspire research and
invention that will add as much
20 human comfort as the electric
light and the telephone, astrologers
forecast
NATIONAL ISSUES: Slowly a
crusade for a new civilization will
gain momentum among thinkers in
| the United States, it is prophesied
| One of the aims of the future is
| that freedom from want shall be
assured. Because it is believed that
private industry cannot absorb all
who need employment after the
war, the new civilization will work
| for Government provision which
assures each man and woman the
work for which the individual is
adapted. A reduction of the great
waste of human energy and eco
nomic possibilities which charac-
terized the Piscean age will be re-
CURED
| INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
Astrologers who have consistently
declared that airpower will bring
victory to the United Nations pre-
dict that the length of the war
depends upon the speed with which
airplanes can be manufactured and
through them the mastery of the
air can be attained. The eighth
trine of Uranus to Neptune, De-
cember IL, is read as most promis-
ing. According to a CONFORMATION
of recent date, Japan will launch
an offensive against the United
States within short time.
Persons whose birthdate it is

expected favors from relatives and

REACH AGREEMENT
 ON PREMIUM PAY
Chase Brass & Copper Co. Management Ready to
 Adjust Differences

An agreement that any loss of
 premium pay caused by the Janu-
 ary 26th interpretation of Executive
 Order 9240 by Secretary of Labor
 Frances Perkins in the event her in-
 depreciation is rescinded in the fu-
 ture, was won yesterday by repre-
 sentatives of the Chase Brass and
 Copper Workers Union of the CIO According to William Stanton, preSi-
 dent of the Chase local, the agree
 ment provides that, in the event
 Secretary Perkins is over-ruled in denying double-time pay for the seventh consecutive day of w0rk in continuous operations depart- ments, any loss suffered by em- ployes will be made up by the company.
 Management and union will join in protesting the action of Secre-
 tary Perkins, 1t was announced also. Both will request that Presi. dent Roosevelt act immediately to rescind the interpretation. The effect of the new ruling, the union officials declared in a telegram to the President last night, will be to impede vital war production, in- crease absenteeisn, and completely wipe out the improvement in Amer ica's war production which the ExA ecutive Order was designed to bring about" Loss of premium pay, said the union, will work great hardship on millions of loyal, hard working American war production clock production ce the weapons needed for victory" The results of Hong weeks of sincere and earnest union-management cooperation to arrange the most effective produc- tion schedules" will also be lost, the protest declared.
 The agreement on the retroactive | pay for lost premium pay and for the joint protest on the interpreta- ton was obtained at a special meet ing between management represen- tives and the contract negotiating committee of the Chase CIO. Im- mediate action to bring about the of Perkins interpretation Is now being sought by union groups all oyer the country, 1t was pointed out of Antonio Napoli, financial sec- retary of the union.

.CITY'S SURPLUS
 TO SET RECORD
Street, Water Departments Report Unexpended Bal.
 ance of $375,OOO

It was announced last night that substantial reductions in the cost of public relief and a tremendous unexpended balance in the bureau of streets and sewers have com. bined with record collections oi taxes to give the city a 1942 sur plus of at least $500, 900, by Budget Director T. E. Olsen.
 It was indicated that the surplus will surpass the above figure by several thousand dollars, since the clerks in the controllers onice are still posting last years accounts, but which were approved before the fiscal year grace period ending Jan. 31.
 Final figures will be available within the next few days, said Mir. Olsen.
 The amount of $44700O will be used by the city to finance the lg43 budget and under the charter the balance must be held in reserve for drawing up the budget of 1944.
 October of last year, the board of finance estimated that the unex- pended balance of the 1942 budget would be $271,000. This proved to be @ conservative figure, since 1t now appears that due to unexpend- ed balances in the bureau of streets and water, this item will exceed $375, ,000.
 MT. Olsen stated that the surplus appropriations in the street and water budget Is attributed to the bureaus inability to purchase the materials for which this money was put aside.
