MONDAY, NOVEMBER 6

Today strong benefic aspect dominates. It is a fortunate con figuration for the United States Navy.
 HEART AND HOME: Again an increase in the birthrate will bt definite, especially in the winter months. Provision for the heating of houses will be of greatest i'm portance, inasmuch aS severe colo is foretold for many parts of tht country.
 BUSINESS FFAIRS: While general prosperity will continue, un- employment will increase in coming weeks. Astrologers long have stressed thrift but there will be many who have disregarded in- l functions to save. Back of Govern ment planning economic laws will prove arbitrary, and there may be lean weeks for families who have earned good wages in the war in- dustries.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Notwith- standing partisan principles, differ ences of opinion must not impede postwar plans for national welfare. On the eve of election the public is reminded by the seers that Aquarian influences will promote the peoples cause.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Anglo American relations will be- come even more cordial than in the past, it is foretold. Canada comes under a sway most fortun- ate for the future of the Dominion. There is a sign suggesting that the English-speaking peoples may oppose Russia in certain postwar issues.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of mixed experiences. Unexpected good for tune may be associated with serious personal problems.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be. of forceful character and extraordinarily gifted More than average success is indicated.

age early enough to have prevented it; raised cain over Secretary of War Woodring's delay in ordering airplanes; and criticized a whole host of other things, including the firing of Sumner Welles and the bungling of Russian relations, which criticism the White House certainly resented-vigorously, pub- licly, in blunt words hurled straight in my direction.
 However, it seems to me that one of the very important things in this election is studying all the qualifications of all the candidates. We have now had Roosevelt under the most searching microscope in the world, the American press, for 12 long years. But when newspaper men try to hold the microscope up to Dewey, it isn't so easy. Take, for instance, two illustrations.
 When you ask Dewey's draft board in New York for the facts regarding his reported agricultural deferment during the period after he was District Attorney and before he became Governor, you run up against a blank wall of silence. There may have been good reasons for his deferment, but the draft board says it's confidential, and Dewey hasn't seen fit to overrule the board. It seems to me, however, that the public is entitled to know all such things about any candi- date as important as one for Presi- dent of the United States.
 Likewise, when you impure as to how Gov Bricker came out of an athletic career in Ohio State University in 1917 to be suddenly ordained a minister and an Army chaplain by a little church at Mt. Sterling, Ohio, without one single udy Ol tiltoloSlOdi tioiiiAi5, o6"Aii you run up against blank wall of silence. Gov. Bricker lists him. self in Who's Who as a first lieu tenant, U. s. Army. World War" Maybe there was good reason for all this, but you can't get any ex- planation as to why Bricker sud- denly deserted law for the min istry, when unmarried, just at the beginning of the last war.
 Well, these are just some of the things that the people who are fighting this war probably would like to know-certainly have a right to know about the men they are

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 5

0UNDA4, NOVGMDEiIe
 Benefic aspects rule powerfully today. At home and abroad Ameri- cans are under most fortunate planetary government.
 HEART AND HOME: For many families the seers predict pro- tracted waiting for reunions with husbands, fathers and sons. Victory brings tasks which are as exacting as the course of combat.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Science is to prevent a financial crisis in the postwar period, it is foretold. Banks and bankers, heads of big business and professors of economies are to unite with the Government in pre- venting a panic. However, there will be unemployment, even earn CTS of high wages in the war in dustries needing help.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: The cost of living will advance definitely in CUIIilllS WCCho, dOSOAoAAi5 VI eAAS seers. Food and fuel will cost more; they will be scarce owing to care of war victims. The stars indicate that our aid must be greater than in previous years.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: Again astrologers prognosticate a long conflict in the Pacific where the Japanese will reveal stubborn strength. There is a sign, however that is interpreted as overpOwering might for the United Nations and such defeat of the enemy as has not yet been foreseen.
 Persons whose birthdate 1t is have the augury of a year of in- creasing prosperity. Unusual oppor- tunities will be offered both men and women.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be lucky all through their lives. Many talents and strong traits of character are indicated.

and even if editors, usually most tolerant, do get jittery and tenn peramental.
 I dropped in to chat with an editor out in Ponca City, Oklahoma, some time ago At the time went into his office, I considered myself no amateur critic of MT. Roosevelt. At least, knew that MT. Roosevelt considered me no amateur. had watched him closeup for 12 long years and thought I knew lot of the things that were wrong with him.
 But before I had talked to that Ponca. City editor for Is minutes, I found I didn't know anything. He knew more about what was wrong with Roosevelt than all the news men in Washington put together. In fact, there wasn't anything right with him.
 And the longer that editor talked, the sorrier got feeling for MT Roosevelt, until, by the time left, was definitely taking his side.
 Sometimes I wonder if that isn't one trouble with some of the news paper critics in this campaign to- day. Some of them are so bitterly anti Roosevelt that people discount what they say.

 In California voters will decide the fate of the closed shop by voting yes no on a proposal to amend the State constitution by defining the right to work" as being free from interference because employee "does does not belong to or pay money to labor organization"
 The adoption of this proposal would outlaw not only the closed shop under which only members of a specified union may be hired by certain employer, but also the union shop in which employees must join the union lose their jobs and also maintenance of membership in which members must keep their dues paid up be fired.
 In California the proposal made it's way to the lecturers Association of Los Angeles and also has won the support of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce
 Early reports indicated the proposal didn't have a chance but late developments bring doubt in spite of the fact that California has 100000 new war workers, most of them union Reportedly, the CIO hasn't pitched in against the proposal because passage of such bill would give the CIO a clearer field in invading AFL unions And confdentitial polls show that 45 percent of the workers in Cali fornia favor the amendment while 35 percent oppose it and 20 percent are undecided. Most of the rural are for the proposal.
 Constitutional amendments banning closed shops also will be voted in Arkansas and Florida next week. In Florida the amendment would make it illegal to refuse to employ worker because of membership or non-membership in union Arkansas is similar

WASHINGTON, Nov. 80 -
.PD - An overwhelming major
ity of the Senate is again ready
to vote to confirm Edward r.
Stettinius, Jr., as secretary Of
state.
The action would have come
yesterday except for the refusal
of Senator LANCER (R-ND) to
in mediate consideration of the
nomination. The Foreign Rela-
tons Committee had approved
1t without a dissenting vote yes
terday morning. Under Senate
rules the nomination had TO lay
over a day if there was a single
objection to its immediate con-
sideration. -......
LANCER did not say definite
ly that he had an objection to
settle the confirma-
ton, and too declined top floor
to talk TO reporters, explaining
he was interested in the pend
ing Flood Control Bill.
Senator Connally (D-Tex)
asked him directly if he had any
objection to Stettinius' appoint
ment.
