The ADO has held article written by Empire correspon- dent the Guards since last October.
 The other day visiting fireman" from New York came into town the heels of official warn ing received by the Empire that the trip was all hush-hush and nothing was to be printed.
 Later in the day the official went on the radio to tell all.
 When Lieut. Gen John L. Dewitt visited Juneau the trip was supposed to be secret yet he made a speech at the Chamber of Commerce. Numerous other officials enjoy making off-the-record speeches with warnings to reporters that the talks aren't for publication"
 From where we sit publication is publication whether it is oral written These officials should keep their mouths shut if the information they ldivulge is information which the enemy would like Ito have
 The whole thing is When it started out lit all right. The Office of Censorship under Byron Price issued set or two of understandable regulations to all newspapers and these easy to follow
 Then practically every naval military and civil official who had mind to began to make his own regulations regardless of the that already had been issued

OUR OWN REGULATIONS

When Palmer Hoyt, director of the domes- tic branch of the Office of War Information recently said that many naval, military and civilian authori- ties are unfamiliar with the Wartime Censorship Code and some have never heard of it." he said a mouthful.
 Many of these authorities know there is such a thing as the Wartime Censorship Code, but they don't the slightest idea of what is in it and are continually taking advantage of the fact that there is such code to up legitimate news stories
 The Empire is giving fair warning right now that from now it will follow the code as presented by the Office of Censorship. Other procedure has proved useless and discouragng.
 Yesterday carried minor story about mem Der from the crew of ship in port drowning in the harbor as he attempted to swim to another vessel with his pockets full of whiskey bottles. Military authorities attempted to hush the story up. On what grounds don't know.

German Prisoners
(New York Times

Newspaper correspondents on the battlefronts have been writing a good deal recently about the morale of German prisoners. All are agreed on one thing That arrogant sureness of early victory which distinguished all German prisoners captured at the beginning of the has been measuraby reduced. Even those who still believe German power will pre- vail are confused present prospects Career officers noncommittal Those who rose from the ranks remain confident that Germany success fully defend herself but doubt is spreading among the rank and file
 In a recent dispatch to this newspaper Drew Middleton reported that the younger soldiers do not share the idoatry of Hitler prevalent among those who witnessed his rise to power. Other correspon- dents report disintegration of morale among those who from the fringes of the Reich: Sudeten Germans, Austrans and Rhineanders. Many of these freely admit the likelihood of defeat and at tribute the stubborn faith of their Prussian com rades to indoctrinated inability to disbelieve " All this may much little, time will re- veal It is clear, however, that a certain propor- tion of Germanys fighting men have begun to doubt the outcome. It is reasonable to assume that this seed of doubt also exists among the armies men must meet upon the Continent.

FDR'S COMEBACK

The New Deal has lost much of it's old fervor. Domestic issues have given way to war issues. But now Roosevelt is coming back, like a prodigal son, to the liberal strug- gles which made him famous.
 He is determined to keep prices down for the housewife and the average consumer. The Republicans are already preparing to make food shortages a campaign issue next year, and Roosevelt is selecting his own weapons for the duel.
 NOTE: When Davis came to Washington for the War Food job, be gave indication he thought it would be temporary job, which he might quit at any time. Instead of taking a modest government salary, he preferred to keep his handsome salary as Federal Reserve Bank President in St. Louis. He now returns to that job.

Georgia, said he would vote to sus- tain the veto, even though he, Mo- Cormack, originally had voted for the anti-strike bill
 But Ramspeck demurred.
 T can't do it, John," he said T supported the bill in the first place because I was assured tn a the President was for it. I don't like to desert the President, but after all, it looks like he hasn't been faithful to us."
 Burning with fury over the White House shift, Mccormack replied:
 Well, I can't desert the ship Bob, but can't object if you do"
 NOTE: Speaker Say Rayburn who had been informed by Justice Byrnes that the President was foI the anti-strike bill, was so furious that he put the bill to an immedi- ate vote, knowing full well the President would be defeated.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not conpeP'
FRIDAY, JULY 9

Conflicting planetary influences are active today with benefic as- poets dominating It is an auspici- ous date for initiative. @#
 HEART AND HOME: Under this rule of the stars women will be efficient in canning and food pre- paration. It is a lucky date for starting new housekeeping projects and for preparing for changed con- ditions in the domestic circles which have been broken by enlistment in war service. The simple life will be obligatory upon women in war industries who will find that vaca- tion schools to supplement nurser- ies solve certain problems. Juvenile delinquency, attributed by social workers to absence from the home of mothers in all lines of service, will be curbed this summer. t.r
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This should be a profitable day for merchants, also for agriculturists. It is promising for average men and women who pursue construc- tive vacations. The stars presage for postwar days security from want and surcease of oldtime in- justices In the commercial world this month evidence of new fin ancial consciousness which realizes the dangers of imitation will be discerned. Unity of purpose among Americans of all classes will mark coming months which will bring to all the full meaning of war and its waste of human life. Nla"
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Technical training in many centers of college life will cause drastic changes in university programs in the autumn. Temporary elimination of many academic courses, and replacement by classes in mechanical lines of work, will prepare for the education of the future in which there will be balanced knowledge = brain and brawn wisely developed In the Aquarian age intuition will be so keen that laborious study will be unnecessary for persons of average intelligence, it is prophesied.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: Mars in favorable aspect with the Sun gives astrologers who study the horoscope of the Secretary of the Navy inspiration for the prediction that MT. Knox will prove strong advocate of policies that assure complete defeat of Japan Saturn in unfavorable aspect seems to warn the Secretary to safeguard his health. Officials in Washington D. C., are all under signs tn a t presage tremendous strain through the next six weeks when weather conditions will be unfavorable.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of amaz- ing experiences which may result in unexpected benefits. Long jour- neys are indicated for many mer of this sign
 Children born on this day prob ably will be happy in vocationa success as well as in love affairs Fame and happiness are prognos. ticated for those who use theil talents wisely.

Winter Coal Rationinq
Considered by |ekes
No PIons Made Yet,
Fuels Agency Reports

By the Associated Press.
The possibility Of coal rationing
next winter "if untoward develop
ments occur" has been considered by
Of1ce of Fuels Administrator Ickes,
a spokesman for that agency said
yesterday, but there are at present
no plans for rationing coal.
Action OF John Lewis, United Mine
Workers president, in telling the
country's coal miners to return to
work tomorrow has improved the
situation, the spokesman said, in
dicating that it probably had re-
lieved such pressure for rationing as
might have developed recently.
An ONCE of Price Administration
spokesman reported that agency
has no organization nor instruc-
tions to ration coal" and said no
step in that direction would be taken
until Mr.. Ickes gave the word.
OPA is checking a number OF COM
modities. including coal, which might
be rationed If critical shortages de-
velop, it was learned. Off1cials said
however, that these studies were
purely safeguards against future
contingencies and that the great
majority of commodities under scru-
tiny never would be rationed.

Coke Shortage Shuts
II Carnegie-|||inois
Steel Plants
Effect of Coal Strike
On Mills Called More
Serious Than Expected
BY the Associated Press.


P1TTSBURG, June 5.-Vital steel
output felt the effects of the coal
strike today as the Carnegie Illinois
Steel Corp. reported II of it's blast
furnaces had been closed down be-
cause of the lack of beehive coke
the source Of which was choked off
by the walkout.
That brought to l3 the number
Of blast furnaces shut down. One
had been closed by the Republic
Steel Corp. at Birmingham, Ala,
and another by the Shenango Fur
mace Co.. Sharpsville, Pa.
The announcement by a spokes-
man for Carnegie Illinois, describ-
ing the effect of the coal strike on
its mills as more serious than ex-
pected, came as the United Mine
Workers announced two-week
truce in the strike and an order
for miners to return to work Mon
day. Other steel companies reported
sufficient supplies on hand, with
production continuinfi normally.
No Open Hearths Closed.
No estimate on the effect of the
shutdowns on employment or pro-
duction was made by Carnegie
Illinois. Under routine operation,
however, the blast furnaces feed the
open hearth furnaces, whose prod
uct goes into ingots for the rolling
mills to produce finished steel. No
open hearths were reported Shut
down.
The Carnegie Illinois spokesman
said every effort was being made to
keep other furnaces in operation and
those suspending would be restored
to production as quickly as possible,
depending on how quickly supplies
of beehive coke become available.
Beehive coke derives its name from
the fact it is produced in ovens
shaped like beehive Coal from
the mines, usually situated nearby,
is fed to the ovens for the coking
process. Thousands of ovens dot
