HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline

FRIDAY. AUGUST II

Benefic aspects favorable to our
armed forces rule today Generals
and admirals may meet adverse
conditions which they overcome by
resourcefulness and initiative.
HEART AND HOME: Women
of all ages should benefit under
today's configuration. 1t is happy
wedding date, even though Friday
is as a rule not lucky day There
is promising sign for initiative.
This is an suspicious time to enlist
in important war work.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: With the
national election only few weeks
away, capital will be wary in start
ing new enterprises. The stars
seem to indicate that plans for
postwar projects of wide scope will
be held in allegiance until votes are
counted. The seers repeat that
President Roosevelt will be elected
for a fourth term, but he must con-
serve his health.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Labor is
to be forced to omit strikes in
coming months Planetary aspects,
Tread, as stimulating to revolution
airy uprisings, seem to warn work.

ing the war Public opinion may
be aroused by an untoward incident
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Spain comes under confused con-
dition, in planetary direction which
seems to indicate surprising de-
velopments that ultimately lead to
popular uprising. Secret diplo-
macy will involve Franco in the
United Nations invasion plans.
Persons whose birthdate it is

fits that are unexpected. Average
success is forecast.

Americans do not know and they

lillian bases (now being used by the
United States) after the war. He
said they were afraid the United

Making it clear that he was pre-

the educator said other countries
of South America shared similar
concern.
DR.. Tavares said there was "eco-
nomic disruption" leading to actual
hardships in some parts of his
country. He said this resulted in
part from the policy the United
States Government had pursued
with regard to Brazil, industrially
and in business.

NewsreeI Of Invasion
May Bring Inquiry
Pressure Reported Used
To Substitute Longer Film
Made by War Department

A congressional investigation
was threatened today over the
War Departments reported use
OF official pressure to force five
newsreel companies to Withdraw
their own prepared releases on
the European invasion in favor
of much longer film made
under Army direction.
Spokesmen for the film companies
here said that after they had re-
fused to scrap their own prepared
films, someone high up" in the
War Department appealed to con-
trolling film executives In Holly
wood and overruled them.
Representative Shafer, Republi-
can of Michigan, told The Star to-
day he planned to ask the War De-
partment for complete explana-
ton of this action. If the explana-
ton is not satisfactory, he added,
ne will consider introducing a reso-
luton for an official House investi-
cation of the matter.
Made in Britain.
The official War Department film
is entitled THE Eve of Battle" and
was prepared in Great Britain under
the direction of the well-known di-
rector. Frank Capra, who now is a
colonel in the Army Film COM
pany men here said that the release
ran over 1,700 feet, or two and one
half reels, compared with the 600 or
TOO feet to which the companies
have been holding their newSreels
under a War Production Board or
der to conserve film.
The distributors affected by the
order, it was said, were Pathe, Fox
Movietone, Metro -Goldwyn Mayors
News of the Day, Universal and
Paramount.
One film company spokesman said
that one of the distributors had
proposed sending theaters both the
War Department film and its own
releases and allowing them to choose
between the two but that this plan
was rejected by the Army.

DR.. Hernane Tavares de Sa, Bra

adviser to the Co-ordinator of

DR.. Tavares' statement was made
as he spoke before the International

cussion whether the representatives
from Argentina would attend the
next assembly meeting.
The Brazilian representative, pro-

Consents
To Receive De GauIIe
During June or July
Suggests Two Suitable
Dates for Conference
With French General

Gen. Charles de Gaulle, presi-
dent of the French National
Committee of Liberation, has
asked to be received by President
Roosevelt and the Chief Execu-
tive has advised him he will be
very glad to see him in June or
July, Mr.. Roosevelt told his news
conference today.
The request from Gen. De GaulIe
was transmitted to the President
Monday through Vice Admiral Ray
mond Fenard, head of the French
naval mission in this country, who
said Gen. de Gaulle wanted to know
If he would be received here and
what would be good date. In re-
sponse, the President advised Ad-
miral Fenard he would be glad to
see the general and he suggested
two dates, between June 20 and 80
or between July 6 and IA.
Admiral Fenard is now en- route
to deliver the Presidents message to
Gen. De Gaulle.
In response to a question, Mr..
Roosevelt said he suggested the al
Tentative dates because they were
best suited for him-that he would
be at liberty at that time.
Mr.. Roosevelt said Gen. De
Gaulle's message said nothing con-
corning the topics he desired to dis
cuss. The President also said he
did not know whether the French
leader would stay at the White
House.
He said it was not intended to
bring anybody else in on the con-
ference.
No Promise of New Policy.
Mr.. Roosevelt's action apparently
contained no promise of a change
in the Governments policy toward
the French Committee. But the
fact that he and the French leader
would meet for the first time since
the Casablanca conference, more
than year ago, raised possibilities
that some more generally acceptable
solution of French rela-
tions might be found.
Apparently it was with this OBJ
jective in mind that Gen. de Gaulle
went to London at the invitation of
Prime Minister Churchill, arriving
Immediately before the invasion
There has been speculation that as
soon as sufficient areas have been
liberated to restore civil administra-
ton, the French leader would re-
turn to France.
Current United States policy is to
work with the French Committee
as an administrative body in any
French area where its authority is
recognized by the population.
Under this rule, the committees

Africa. On the other hand. Wash

QUARTERS, June United
States heavy bombers, striking

battered prime targets in the
Munich area of Southern Ger
many today, in a new pincers
attack on the Nazi war machine
co-ordinated with disruptive
blows on German positions in
France from the west.
The bombers, flying into the
Munich area for the first time from
Italy, and their escorting Light
nings, Mustangs and Thunderbolts
fought through clouds of German
fighters to reach their targets.
Swiss dispatches reported explo-
sions in the Munich and Augsburg
areas.
"a BIC broadcast said the AL
lied assault from Britain had de-
stroyed all railway bridges on
the Seine River between Paris
and the sea-
Other American heavy bombers
attacked Porto Marghera near Ven-
ice, and fighter -bombers harried the
German retreat above Rome.
Allied planes of all types struck
from Britain against Nazi positions
behind the lines in France despite
hampering weather.
No Mention Of Air Borne Operations.
For the first time since D-day
official reports, however, made no
mention of Allied air-borne opera
tions last night.
During operations of the last "a
hours, So German planes were de-
stroyed in the air and 20 others were
accounted for on the ground, as
against an Allied loss of IS fighters
and bombers.
Weather cut down the scope of the
aerial operations supporting the in
vasion troops.
Germans made four fighter bomb
er attacks against the invasion
beaches between early yesterday and
late last night, employing about go
planes, but were driven off each
time.
Rail functions Blasted.
The first three attacks were han
died by RAF Spitfires, which shot
down three German planes and
damaged more without loss. The
last attack cost the Germans seven
planes, again with no loss to the
Allies.
Several hundred RAF heavy
bombers, flying through rain and
thick clouds, hit the switching yards
and rail functions at Rennes, Fou-
ceres, Alenson, Mayenne and Pom
taubault last night. These lie south
and west of the Normandy fighting
front. Two of the heavy bombers
are missing from these operations.
An Air Ministry announcement
said poor flying weather appeared
also to be hampering the Germans,
since the big British Lancasters and
Halifaxes met fewer Nazi fighters
than on the previous night.
These British airmen had
glimpses of the ground fighting and
saw bright flashes from the sea
