MONDAY. JULY 81

While good and evil planetary
influences are active, this day
should be favorable for many ac-
tivities.
HEART AND HOME: Girls
should find this evening suspicious
for romance and recreation. AL
frescvo entertainments are under
most fortunate direction of the
stars. Older women should benefit
through interviews or conferences
with business or professional ex-
ecutives. 1t is promising date
for seeking employment.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Farmers
should profit substantially this
week. In many parts of the coun-
try abundant crops will assure
handsome returns. Storms of un-
usual severity may cause losses of
stock in the West. This is a for
tunate time for investing in land
for agriculture.
NATIONAL, ISSUES: Near-nude
attire at seaside resorts will arouse
criticism The seers have prophe-
sled reactions in dress and manners
after the war. They state that SYM
bols of liberty which become Ii.
!cense are to be seen in current
fashions.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Supreme heroism will be displayed
by United Nations forces in crisis
in which Axis desperation is mani
fest in terrible acts of barbarism
At this time, when history is writ
te min blood, victory is to be rec
cognized as near for the Allies.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augry of year of emer-
gencies that test resourcefulness.
Deception and fraud are threaten
ed for many.
Children born on this day prob
ably win be idealistic and too gen.
erous for their own best interests.
They should be taught early the
value of money.

saying heartwarming news for
many families. The Navy is under
the most favorable planetary in

finance and trade is prognosticated
Results of diplomatic conferences
with our Allies will assure firm

ing growing power of the unions
which will exercise stronger in
fluence among voters han at any
time in the past.

This year has been designated as
marking the nations coming OF
age, and postwar leadership of the
United States has long been prog
nosticated. Contest for power in
Europe between Britain and Rus
STA is forecast. but new leaders OF
all the Allies will have the work
of reconstruction after 1949.
Persons whose birthdate it is

faxed activities that later will re-
auire more attention. 1t is time
for recuperation and preparation
Children born on this day prob
ably will have real charm of per-
lsonality as we'll smarked talents
Good fortune is foretold for them

DOUGLAS A COMPLICATION

This became rather complicated
because they had letter endorsing
not only Truman but also Justice
Douglas. So they adopted the
strategy of saying they had a let
ter approving Truman, keeping alb
solutely mum about the fact that
Douglas, too, was mentioned.
For instance, Mayor Kelly of Chi

Achsfefter Goes
On Trial on
Assault Charge

I'VE charge misconduct on the
part of the district attorneys Of
flee in Imperial county," attorneys
for Ed Achstetter, Teamsters union
9ecretary treasurer, said Tuesday
when Judge John E. Simpson denied
q request that Achstetter's trial on
an assault charge be transferred
20 another county.
Selection of a jury to hear evi-
dence in the case brought against
AchStetter by Paul Imhoff, men,
Der of the Teamsters union, began
Immediately bet was not COM
nleted before tie noon recess.
STATE REASONS
Attorneys John c. Stevenson and
Abe Richman of Los Angeles, who
represent Achstetter, introduced an
affidavit setting out that one of
Achstetter'S reasons for believing
he could no. set a fair trial dealt
with sta 4ement District Attorney
Charles c. Halliday is alleged to
have made. 1t was alleged that
Halliday said anyone, union or
non-union, who went on strike
during war was a traitcr to the
United States and guilty Of treason
The war and strikes have nothing
TO do with the assault and battery
charge against AchStetter, Judge
Simpson ruled. The judge also said
the recent strike of Imperial Irri-
ga'ion dis rict elec' 'iical employees
kN tn do xtrifl, hn hn toy
case and therefore need not be
taken into consideration.
The defense attorneys contended
that Achs:etter could not get fair
trial before jury in Imperial
county because of the widespread
feeling against labor unions" de-
caring that it would be impossible
for Jurors to put aside their per-
sonal feelings in the matter, The
court said Halliday was entitled to
his uersonal opinion in the matter
COURT HAS SAY
II hope the time never comes.
Judge Simpson said in reply to
that statement, when any Ameri-
can citizen, called upon in judic-
ial capacity or the capacity of 4
juror, allows bias or personal pre-
j':dice to influence him or her"
You" responded Stevenson, ARE
measuring their corn out Of your
bushel We ask adjournment to a
county where labor trouble does not
exist

Mauser is conducting the trial.

President Seeks
AII-Out Draft

The tax bill now under consider
alton by the congress does not oeglh
to meet this test" he asserted.
His renegotiation plan. he SAID
would prevent exorbitant prolltS
and assure fair prices to the gov
ernment.'
The new recommended food law,
the president said would enable the
government Ito place a reasonable
floor under the prices the farmer
may expect for his production" and
place a ceiling on the prices paid
for food by consumers.
FIGHTS FOR SUBSIDIES
Continuing his fight for subsidies,
the PRESIDENT said this plan should
apply to necessities only, and will
require public funds amounting
to about one per cent of the an
nual cost of the war. This would
be roughly $1,0o0000,000
He pointed out that the stabiliza-
ton law expires June 30, 1914, and
If it is not extended well in ad-
vance, the country might just as
well expect price chaos by sum-
mer."
Celebrating on the necessity for
national service, the president said
there are millions of American
men and women who are not in this
war at all
1T is not because they do not
want to be in it," he said. But they
want to know where they can best
do their share. National service
provides that direction. 1t will be
a means by which every man and
woman can find that inner salts
faction which comes from making
the fullest possible contribution
to victory.
He assured the working people of
the nation that national service
legislation would not mean "reduc-
ton in wages or loss of retirement
and seniority rights and benefits"
LITTLE DISTURBANCE
1T does not mean that any sub
stantial numbers of war workers
will be disturbed in their present
jobs, he said Let these facts be
wholly clear

Extend Sugar
Stamp No. 30

Extension Of Sugar Stamp No. 80,
now in use to purchase pounds
of sugar for home consumption, for
an indefinite period, was announc-
ed today by the Office of Price
Administration and the War Food
Administration. At the same time,
it was pointed out this meant no
shortening. of civilian supplies,
since Sugar Stamp 81 will become
valid on April l for five pounds of
sugar. Stamp 81 will also have no
set expiration date.
While not issued as an official
guarantee, both OPA and VIA say
that there is no indication at
present that civilian supplies of
sugar, or the canning allotment,
will have to be cut under last years
totals. Commercial users do take
a cut in the quarter from April to
June of 10 per cent to 10 per cent.
The only exceptions are bakers and
cereal manufacturers who will get
80 per cent, drug manufacturers
who will be allowed 100 per cent
and makers of vitamin products,
who may have as much sugar as
they can use. .....

character" Joan walled into john
! sons special fringed crying towel
for Hollywood's elite.
I'm tired" she said, "of being
the clown with the funny hat and
the red nose. I want to do some
thing believable Every time I'm
cast in a picture I'm supposed to
come out and be funny. For no
reason at all Or they insist on
having me chase a man. There's
nothing funny, to me, about that.
It's the situation that makes any
body funny"
For example, she said, pro-
ducer was outlining new film just
the other day and said, Now in
this scene, Joan, you open the door
and fall down."
Joan asked, why do I fall
DOWN."
The producer looked aghast.
Why? Why because it will be fun
ny. No other reason"
"See what I mean?" Joan said.
1T happens all the time There's
no reason for falling down. There's
no SITUATION. Why, they don't
even give me banana peel to slip
on They just say, Joan, you fall
down And to me that's not funny.
That's straining for laughs. You
gotta have a SITUATION"
SITUATIONS WANTED
What Joan would like to be, she
laughed, is poor mans Rosalind

which Hollywood puts her are fun

she hauled in the laughs doing
screwball comedies couple of years
ago because the situations were

Just once, she said-"even if ]

Just once, she said, she'd like to
give 'em a whole new girl instead
of playing herself "a character
not a caricature" = and people
would see her on the screen and
say, who is that girl?"
She's right. You can't be funny
without situations. And she could
give the screen an entirely differ
ent person, we believe, because ol
the way she has always been pho
tographed.
