 For many weeks German propaganda agencies have been trying to cut down Allies bombing raids by stories telling of hardships which have fallen the lot of civilian populations It now seems that some groups of citizens of England and the United States have believed German tales of bombing attacks aimed only at homes and firesides of Axis cities
 While it is true that civilians working in industries in enemy cities have suffered from aerial warfare, it is just true that those attacks never are aimed at anything except military objectves. entire plan of air offensive against the Conti- nent is based on the thesis that such bombings by crippling industries turning out war materiels, can strike at the foundation of the Axis supply lines.
 Unlike the German strategy, which aimed to de- moralize civilians by direct attacks on their homes, the Allies seeking bigger more per1nanent re- suits from the bombs dropped from British and American planes Hitler went to the extent Of employing making devices in air raids in order increase the confusion and terror among the civil ians in British cities
 Herr Goebbels, by insisting that American day light attacks are more inaccurate than night bomb ing, attempts to discourage what may be the most effective of our bombing operations. The Goebbels charge, it's face. is false, for bombs aimed at an objective which appears on the disc of the accurate American bombsight certainly more likely to hit their mark than those dropped ill darkness with an area, rather than certain group of buildings as target The propaganda statement proves conclusive ly that it was issued with the idea that it might be effective diverting of our most effective wea pon, not from the homes of Germany but from the industrial areas.
 It is unfortunate that civilian districts must suffer to some extent during most air raids. But we should remember that well-conducted bombing offensives will bring the to end much more quickly than could hope for without such military programs Every month every day, every hour by which the fighting is reduced will mean the saving of hundreds and thousands of lives-both those of our own troops and those of the peoples of other lands.

Senate side of the Capitol" Curley wrote Lynn, T noted that some ar-bender had succeeded either in talking or knocking off one half of the left ear of the bust of the late and lamented former Presi- dent, Calvin Coolidge
 Either the ear should be re- stored at once or. in event your department lacks the necessary funds, it would be wise to proceed in conformity with the Coolidge economy policy and knock off the corresponding half of the right ear. But in any event something should be done at once, since it is an in justice to the memory of a truly great American to have him appear with but one and half ears"

though most of them are so tired at the end of the day that they avoid it as much as possible. Jesse Jones is to be seen from time to time at the Brazilian Embassy. Since Brazil is an ally at war this can be construed as official busi- ness, though a visit to the Elm bassy is not hard medicine to take, because Jesse loves bridge and even gets a kick out of watching the eonga dancers.
 Frank Knox also likes to stir about at an occasional dinner party, especially when Senators are pres ent, and he can warm up his con- tacts on Capitol Hill.
 But of late it's no longer a mat ter of gas and locomotion, it's the fact that hostesses just aren't will ing to spend their ration points on entertaining anyone at dinner. Some of them do manage to invite few  guests when they are lucky enough to find extra chickens or a batch of fish: or when their guests are people like Senator George of Georgia or North Carolinas Max Gardner who don't mind helping to cook hominy grits in the kitchen.
 But except for Embassy dinners with extra ration points, or Mrs Eyalyn Mclean of Hope Diamond fame, who will always carry on, or a few black market dinners where questions aren't asked, oldfash- toned dining out in Washington is almost passe.
 Added to which, it probably will be a long time before anyone of importance accepts an invitation to any dinner where he doesn't know all the guests in advance for fear he may find himself head lined afterwards as being present at some place like the mysterious Big Red House on R Street, al- legged rendezvous for war contrac- tors

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
FRIDAY, MAY 14

Until late today adverse plane 1 tary aspects appear to rule the Earth. The configuration is unfa- vorable to elderly persons, especial | lv those in high Government posi- tions.
 HEART AND HOME: Influenc- es that distinguish the Aquarian age will be apparent as If in pre- liminary operation. The new order of things is to reveal man in hts spiritual evolution and humanity is to be purged of many of it's vic es and weaknesses. This means that those foremost in the pre-war world must give way to the young. astrologers explain as they predict the end of many distinguished car eers between 1943 and 1850. Heads of prominent families will die sud denly. it it indicated, for war kills many on the home front.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Static may be apparent in certain lines of retail business, owing to unforeseen events which cause uncertainty re- garding future international trade agreements The people in general will continue to enjoy high wages and to spend their money freely. Novel vacation plans will be devis- cd as warm weather is prevalent Many resorts easily reached from nearby cities will profit greatly. Hostels for bicyclists and hikers will multiply
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Persons in- terested in postwar planning will discover so many dangers in future international relations that nation wide alarm will be produced. After surviving the dangers of war the nation is daily warned of the per ills of peace and it is well to turn l to astrology for reinsurance. If the stars are rightly read victory for the United Nations will be so de- cisive that the Allies will rejoice i together, avoiding small enmities and oldtine ambitions. Wise dip lomacy will prevail when new boun- diary lines between contiguous countries are drawn. A gigantic federation of world powers is to be established. it is prognosticated
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Although the French people are to come under promising aspects this year political stability and nation al prosperity may not be restored to the reunited nation until the spring of l947, European astrologers fore tell. Favorable planetary transits and directions are diScerned for this Spring and the coming Sum mer, but there will be continued struggle for freedom against terri ble odds. The stars encourage se- cret plots and heroic sacrifices with expanding underground activities. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of varied ex- periences which include a few se- were tests to courage. Financial re- turns will increase.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be exceedingly intellectual industrious and ambitious. They may be temperamental but general ly kindly as long as they can have their own way.

CALVIN CooLIDGE's EAR

The mystery of who made off with part of the left ear of Calvin Coolidge's marble bust still has Capitol Hill politicos almost as baf fled as they were over his third term intentions.
 While confessing that he is com pletely in the dark as to how Coolidges ear was mutilated or by whom, Capitol Architect David Lynn discounts rumors of Demo cratic yandalism" He points out that it was a Democrat, Represen- tative James M Curley of Massa- chusetts, who first brought the matter to his attention.

0utgrOwth of a late-summer

In Scrap Shipment
Delaware Filled 41.3 Per
Cent Of Quota First
Half Of Year

Delaware is leading the nation in
the shipment of iron and steel scrap
to steel mills, on the basis of per-
centage completion of state quotas,
it was announced last Friday by w.
Cortlandt PindeT, chairman of the
Delaware Industrial Salvage Com
mittee, at the dinner meeting of the
committee in the Hob Tea Room.
According to latest reports, Mr..
Pinder said. Delaware filled Alb per
cent of its quota for the second half
of this year, during, July and Au-
gust, the first two months of the
period. Reports for succeeding
months have not been compiled.
The state was in the top three in
the nation during the first half of
the year, he said, and has main
tained an excellent record since the
salvage drive was started.
Mr.. Pinder said that while there
must be no let up in the effort to
secure iron and steel scrap, commit
tee members must also strive to
have paper saved in the industrial
plants. The critical shortage of pa
per makes that task essential, he
