Once again it seems to us that in the interests of economy the powers that be should consider the pos sibilty that the will not be greatly affected one way the other if the persons who make living in Seattle by opening mail going into, and out of, Alaska, be given opportunity to turn their efforts to productive jobs. 4.a
 We believe that just the civilian travel control office had outlived it's usefulness and necessity-he censors are no longer necessary.
 Obviously, if travel between the States and Alaska is no longer restricted, there is for continued censorship of the mails
 Mail travelling across State borders in the con- tinental United States is not censored. It seems foolish continue to between Alaska and the States.

homie boss of occupied Germany tnot High Commissioner was walking down Fifth Avenue the other day intent on watching Her bert Hoover.
 Ex-President Hoover, his hat down over his eyes, was striding through the heart of New York, not soul recognizing him, not a soul recognizing him, not a person turning to stare Ex-OPA Admin istrator Henderson, fascinated, fol- lowed close behind
 Suddenly a hand reached out and clutched Henderson's shoulder. It was the arm of the law. Startled Leon looked up. He had not been aware that he was jay walking, picking pockets, or violating OPA price ceilings.
 How about taking me with you to Germany" said New York cop. T heard you were going to be made boss of what the Germans can eat and wear-give 'em an OPA system, or something. How about taking me along?"
 Leon recognized a policeman he had known years before, said that if he got the job in Germany he would take the copper with him.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline

FRIDAY. OCTOBER 13

Adverse aspects dominate today. Labor comes under a fortunate planetary direction but political ac- tivities should be avoided.
 HEART AND HOME: Special care today to avoid accident is en- joined. In the home, falls and other mishaps may be numerous. Elderly persons should be particularly cautious. The stars presage the passing of prominent men and wo- men of advanced age as the new order of things slowly develops.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Increase in the number of unemployed will be evident this month and next. Transition from war industries at high tide to low may cause anxiety and unrest among wage earners who have neglected to save their money, but the stars presage wise management by business leaders which prevents serious dislocations.
 NATIONAL AFFAIRS: Municipal governments are warned that they must clean city underworld sec- tions thoroughly and must offer decent attractions and recreations to homecoming fighting men.
 INTERNATIONAL AFF IR S.: Tokyo continues under evil portents of extreme suffering for the people. A "defeatist" spirit which has been prevalent though hidden will re- suit in complete paralysis among civilians. Peril for the emperor is forecast.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of steady advancement toward success. Much happiness and progress are fore told.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be clever and industrious but subjects to mutations of for tune, Interesting careers are prophesied.

of Missouri this month, and cam paign for the Roosevelt Truman ticket.
 Wallace is now busily trying to re-elect Roosev cit and is also eagerly mending his own political fences on the long range chance that he'll be the Democratic Presi- dential candidate in 1948. Thus, Wallace is now moving into the key states of Indiana, Ohio Michi- gan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota, will not return to Wash ington again until after election day.
 In all these states, Wallace had some delegates at the Chicago con- vention, finally lost out because he didn't have enough.
 Already on his tour Wallace has made many friends in Pennsylvania among Democratic delegates who opposed him last July.
 One unusual technique Wallace uses on his current campaign tour is to meet with the mayor of every city. When he met Fiorello La Guardia in New York recently Wallace was asked by the Little Flower why he saw so many mayors. Wallace grinned. Added La Guardia:
 You couldn't be trying to swipe my Job as President of the United States Mayors Conference, could you. Henry??"
 No replied Wallace, I'm not that much of a fireman"
 NOTE Wallace is paying all his own expenses on his campaign swing, is taking no financial aid from the Democratic National Committee.

BYRNEs INTENT ON RETIRING

The White House didn't announce it, but the other day ex-Justice Jimmy Byrnes, now War Mobilizer was offered the prize job of U. S. High Commissioner for the Occupa- tion of Germany. This is considered one of the most important assign ments in all postwar Europe, and the President wanted Jimmy to have it in compensation for hurt feelings when he was not accepted as Vice President at Chicago.
 Byrnes, however, turned the choice plum down. He is intent on going back to South Carolina to practice law, take life fairly easy, perhaps even to dabble in politics again. He has given up any idea of returning to the Supreme Court.
 Meanwhile, the President has de- cided not to appoint Diplomat Robert Murphy as High Commis- sioner for Germany, unless Cordell Hull is able to conjure up more persuasion than in the past. FDR is peeved over the unfavorable reac- ton to Murphy's appointment as adviser to General Eisenhower, isn't anxious to award him any more promotions.

What a fantastically vain hope that is." he declared. But in what hope they are willing to take the risk of his obvious inexperience. We might not condemn our adyersaries' selection of a candidate so young, but we do expose the hypocrisy in their claim that the presidency, now, needs a man just his age.
 What the presidency demands now, is not so much a bright young man, as a man of wisdom and ey- peEience. with depth and breadth of vision"
 Jackson charged that while Pres ident Roosevelt was striving to lead the nation in preparation for our defense" Republicans seeking to damage his prestige. were de- manding a foreign policy which would have played directly into the hands of the Axis war lords.
