HOROSCOPE "The stors incline
 but do not compel"
FRIDAY. DECEMBER IT

Benefic aspects rule strongly today. There should be stirring news from the national capital. Persons in authority should be for tunate while this configuration prevails.
 HEART AND HOME: Women today are subject to stimulating and inspiring planetary influences which should enable them to ac- complish a great deal and to feel sense of potential power. There may be tendency toward frequent absences in war plants and even of slackness in performance of tasks.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: In this last month of the year when sta tistics will tell the story of 1943 in business tales of great profits ac-' cruing to those who hold war con- tracts will be disproved. The stars are read as indicating losses through waste of hours and labor. But there will be little evidence of large -scale profiteering.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Oil prices and gasoline restrictions will arouse wide discussion and dissatisfaction. Tn production centers of the United States perplexities will multiply As trologers forecast an increased de- mand for supplies for the armed forces. Civilians should cheerfully accept diminishing supplies.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Astrologers foretell for coming weeks added difficulties on far flung battle fronts. Severe weather will aid Russia in her occupation of the Crimea Continued progress for the Soviet armies is forecast as Stalin proves himself equally great as a diplomat and a military leader.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good for tune in which there will be pro- motions and rising incomes.
 Children born on this day pro- bably will be especially fortunate all through their careers. They will have lofty ambitions which they vii be able to realize by means of un- usual talents.

FREE ELECTIONS

There just two spots on the entire continent of Europe today where free and democratic election can still be held One is in Sweden the other Switz erland Sweden remains free and has recently shown a desire to be quite firm with the Nazis Switzerland surrounded by Nazi-hed territory on every side con- tinues to govern its affairs a democracy
 Spain under Franco has dictatorial government Portugal is aside by dctatoria features Finland another possibility is at the side of Germany.
 So it is with that we view the lack Of interest in the exercising of the power of Americans for free election while their fighting and dying abroad preserve this democratic way of government
 Anyone knows that today there is an overwhelm- ing demand for frst-rate efficient and honest minds in all departments of the government. The howl is terrific And the only way in which the right men can be placed in office is at the polls, and only then if enough interest is shown
 Public men and their measures should be judged

 The Joint Congressional Economy Committee is promising call it threatening Legislation to reduce Federal employment unless the government moves immediately to take some 100000 workers off the pay rolls, which the 100000 mark. The committee headed by Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia made it's first request for such action last spring To date according to the committee but little has been done to bring about the changes sought, changes which in the opinion of members, could be made without in any way njuring the efficiency of the program.
 We certain that the economies recommended by the committee could be carried out with nothing but benefit to the nation equally certain that it will be difficult program to put through. It will be difficult even to get pro-economy poht- clans interested in economy when it strikes their own particular political wigwams
 One of the things Congressmen do is put people on the government pay rolls and keep them there. large part of the vote getting ammunition which members of Congress fire during election campaigns consists of promises patronage to leaders who can deliver reasonably good blocs of ballots No matter how much an officeholder may believe in cutting down the number of Federal employees 1t IS hard to convince him that the reductions should begin among his own gorup of appontees.
 We would like to members Of the Jolnt Confessional Economy Committee start the pro gram by submitting lists of offices they believe could be eliminated and we would like to see on those lists some of the jobs which the members themselves have filled Such move would set example so strong that neither the administration nor the houses of Congress could afford to ignore it.

 At the last minute, Knox changed his mind. Later, he told Landon that he was convinced Roosevelt wouldn't run for a third term. Ac- cording to Landon, Knox asked the President bluntly if he would run again. My nerves wouldn't stand it." the President told Knox, &C., cording to Landon.

PROTECTING THE PRESIDENT Asesse ABROAD

The only people in the U. s. A. who are really made unhappy by the Presidents travels-especially overseas - are the Secret Service. They spend sleepless nights until he comes home again, worried that something may happen.
 On last winters overseas Junket to Casablanca, an extraordinary measure of protection was taken. Nothing like it has ever been seen in the history of the world. A great armada of ships of all kinds, mostly fighting ships, was assembled near the bulge of Brazil, and also near the bulge of West Africa The ships moved out along the path which the President was to follow and practically covered every square mile of the Atlantic at this narrow crossing.
 The President himself was fly ing overhead in a Pan American clipper, and the purpose of the ships was to form what the Navy called met" of protection. It was to serve the President as the net in the circus serves the trape2e artists. If the Presidents plane were forced down into the sea, no matter where, there would be at least one ship at that spot to res cue him.
 No such plan was used on his latest trip, however. The mode of protection cannot now be revealed, but when the story is told, it will show an entirely different stra- tegy.

TWO OF A KIND

If nothing else, departing Sena- tor Bob Reynolds of North Carolina will be missed for his likeness to Huey Long. When Long was alive, the two men were pair of lea ther- -lunged rabble-rousers such as the Senate may never see again,
 Both elected in 1882, they met as Senators in a Washington hotel. The Senator from Louisiana looked at the Senator from North Caro- lima and said, Don't I know you from some placer"
 Not to iny remembrance, Rev. holds replied.
 You been to Baton Rouge, aint you?" Long insisted.
 Reynolds acknowledged he had.
