HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline

SATURDAY.. NOVEMBER 27

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27
 Jupiter is in benefic aspect today which should be fortunate for lead CTS in business or politics. It is not a favorable date, however, for formulating plans or policies.
 HEART AND HOME: Kindly stars rule women under this config- uration which is favorable for all Ithe distinctly feminine interests centering in the home. This is a good day for welcoming friends and entertaining relatives. It is aus picious for rest and recreation, ath- letic contests and outdoor sports. Tomorrow should bring heartening reports from our Navy.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The day should be lucky one for shoppers. Useful gifts will be sought with more than ordinary discrimination this year, for the stars encourage the selection of warm garments, furs and gloves Again severe Win ter weather is prognosticated for many parts of the country, For mer regular Florida visitors will this year miss the mild climate owing to the ban on pleasure travel For them the seers offer the advice to keep warm by means of hard work.
 NATIONAL ISSUES Optimism as an American characteristic has been conspicuous in the course of the World War and the national habit of avoiding recognition of the unpleasant has been evident in the persistent feeling that peace is near. All who read the stars or recall prognostications made by astrolo- gers will be far from sanguine re- garding an early close of the ter rible conflict. Many months may pass in which delays and frustra- tions retard our victory. Although the end is to come as a surprise or may be accompanied by extraordin- 1 ary circumstances, there should be courageous expectation of extended anxiety and sacrifice for the peo- pie of the United States.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR The New Moon of this date brings evil portents. A great crisis is in- dicated but it will be averted or overcome. Berlin is to be the scene of amazing violence. Nazi leaders must face punishment for their horrible crimes and now will have added reason for panic
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of gain in novel ways. Unexpected events will test common sense.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be restless and ambitious Many will succeed in new or un- usual occupations.

BUTTER FROZEN
REST OF week
Lard, Margarine, Shorten
ing and Cooking Salad
Oil Sales Suspended

Washington, March 22-UP)-
Retail sales of butter, lard, mar
garine, shortening and cooking salad
oils-everything in the new ration
ing program except meat and cheese
were suspended today for the rest
Of the week.
1t will not be possible to buy any
of those items until the meats-fats
rationing program begins next Mon
day. The individual consumer then
will be limited to the following aver
age weekly ration: Meat. two
pounds; butter, not more than four
ounces; cheese, about two ounces.
There will be no freeze of sales
of mayonnaise or other salad oils
not included in the rationing pro-
gram, but canned fish and canned
meatS-frozen since February 18-
will continue suspended until next
Monday, too.
The "freeze" of butter and fats
sales was announced yesterday
afternoon and became effective last
midnight. The Office OF Price Ad-
ministration said suspension of
sales was necessary because retail
stocks of those foods were not suffi-
cient to support the anticipated
heavy buying during the one week
remaining before rationing. The
week-long freeze will enable store
keepers TO replenish supplies and
prepare their stocks for the ration
ing program.
OPA will publish on Wednesday a
list of point values for about 200
items included in the meats-fatS
program.
It also is expected TO publish soon
a revised list of points for processed
foods for the month Of April. The
canned foods points for April are
expected to be lower than at pres
ent because of slow movement Of
those items during March. House
wives were warned, however that
March coupons will not be good
next month.
All signs point TO a stiff system
of point values in the meats-fats
category. Individual consumers will
have only 16 points week to spend,
but the final determination OF how
much of that allowance will be spent
for meat, butter and other fats Will
rest with the consumer.

MONTGOMERY is.
ON MARCH AGAIN
British Eighth Army Head
Satisfied With North
African Happenings
BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

NOHAUcu KTeSS OIdH correspondent
Allied Headquarters, North Africa,
March 22-UP)-It's the same old
story today down in front of the
Mareth line-a devastating artillery
and aerial attack, an infantry as
sault by moonlight and stop-watch
timing all up and down the battle
line.
Gen. Sir Bernard Law Montgom-
ery-"Monty Of Ell Alamein"--is on
the march again.
The commander of the British
Eighth Army has bided his time.
and the time Is now. For weeks he
has mustered his forces in front of
the Mareth line, refusing to attack
until every soldier was in position,
every supply truck unloaded. every
plane tuned for flight and every Off
Ger fully aware of what his job was
going to be.
Once all those things were done.
Monty gave the signal. The British
eighth Army, judged by military
men to be the finest striking force
in the world, began operations the
same way it did at Ell Alamein
where it started its 1,4OO-mile race
across the Libyan sands in pursuit
Of the Afrika Korps.
Montgomery's attack against the
Mareth line followed the pattern Of
his Fl Alamein victory almost pre-
cisely. On Friday night his planes
opened the attack, on Saturday they
stepped up the blasting until final
~ big, four-motored Liberators and
HalifaXes were smashing the Axis
positions. In the moonlight on Sat-
urday the ground forces advanced.
because Montgomery has learned
that the Germans don't relish night
fighting.
Today reports from the south are
that Monty Is satisfied with the
progress he is making. That means
that things are happening just the
way he planned them in the long
weeks he waited until the time was
right to strike.
