NOTHING IMPORTANT
 HAPPENS

Those Grand Juries have been laboring for nearly a year, and nothing of any consequence has happened. A flood of subpoenas has been issued-approximately 5000. The books of various stores, cor porations and hotels. especially the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City, have been seized or examined. Leg islators claim their phones have been tapped.
 Records of the Roosevelt Hotel are reported by investigators es- pecially interesting. One New York State Senatorial Committee spent several days at the hotel, and afterwards sent in bill to New York State for several thousand dollars to defray a stay of juvenile delinquency. However, the books of the hotel showed that the money went largely for whiskey, football tickets, flowers, theatre tickets and 6 fur coat.

Although Alaskans don't have anything to say about who's going to be the President after next Tuesday they're still interested in national election
 According to all of the many public opinion polls the election is going to be close one and 1t may be that the result will not be known until the soldier votes come in, perhaps two weeks after November T. The polls generally show that Dewey has cut down Roosevelt's 1940 leads but not much.
 Meanwhile, both parties are claiming they will have control of the House Probably the best answer to that as far history goes will be that the suc- cessful presidential candidate will carry majority of the House with him.
 It may be that the opposite will happen, but it will be rare event if it does. Only twice in the history of the country since the Civil War has an

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3

FRIDAY, NOVEMbER
 Adverse aspects dominate today which may be disturbing in effects on the mind. Depression may pre- vail under this configuration. HEART AND HOME: Women are under an unfavorable direction of the stars and may lack energy or confidence. This is time for rest and recreation. Campaign workers will gain by avoiding strenuous effort until better planetary in- fluences prevail.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Expansion steps should be postponed but planning for expansion of business in 1945 will be fortunate. Enter tainment places will profit greatly For the next week the wise will mark time.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Establish ment of the four freedoms will be stressed at this time when enemy propaganda will seek to foment class consciousness and race preju- dices. Certain aspects increase sen- sitiveness and special effort to avoid trouble is imperative.
 INTERNATIONAL FEARS Restoration of ports and harbors now held by the United Nations will be made with amazing speed and much will be accomplished before winter. Our merchant ma rine comes under splendid condi- tions of promise for the future. | Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year in which concentration on business affairs is recommended.

FEDERATION IN ALBANY

Several other New York legis- lative committees got money for unique purposes, not illegal, but the same type of thing Gov. Dewey has rightly criticized in Washing ton. Apparently, however, they were tolerated in Albany There was a $1O,OoO committee to study the rise and fall of the tides on Lake George; $l5,000 committee to examine treaties with Indians, and a Sl0O00 committee to investi- gate chiropractors.
 Most interesting situation in AL bany, however, involves Lieutenant Gov. Joe R. Hanley, the likeable old-time politician whom Dewey personally selected to run in a by election and to succeed him in case he becomes President.
 The Albany Grand Jury which Dewey so suddenly superseded on a Sunday night, last December, was scheduled to probe charge that Lieutenant Gov. Hanley put his son on the state payroll and then drew most of the salary paid to his son. Such an action, if true, would be violation of New York law.
 This column interviewed Lieu tenant Gov Hanley, and he admit ted that his son Jim had been employed as an attorney for Meach, Harmon, Lytell and Blackmore Buffalo accounting firm, from April l, 1889, to July l, 1889, while the firm was installing a new system of budgeting costs for New York State.

Robot Patrol
Cincinnati Enquirer

Novel to say the least, some of the methods which British and American fliers have been using to combat the robot bombs which are still deadly nuisance to Southeast England
 Here is a report on a 30-minute patrol over the English Channel by Flight It. Desmond F. Ruchwaldy who broke his neck in flying accident and came back after eight months in the hospital to destroy seven enemy aircraft and eight flying bombs
 q saw a flying bomb in mid Channel and thought I'd try to down it using the slpstream of my aircraft I got in front and let the draught get at it-and, sure enough down it went Then, little later, I saw a second and took crack at it with my guns. It spun down to 1000 feet but it's gyro took over control again Near the coast, however, ack-ack finished it off. Then Boulogne, saw a tnTd flying bomb and thought it would be good idea to send it down on the Germans there. tried the olo slipstream trick again, and it worked-but l think that German ackack directed at me helped to destroy it. When I saw fourth, little farther west, my guns damned flew alongside it, and tlppeo IL over with my wing and down it went
 That busy half hour patrol was flown Of course, at a time when the Germans still held the robot Since Allied armies have taken over much of the Channel coast the robots have been launched mainly by planes from oyer the North Sea, and their number consequently is greatly reduced.
 The pilots report brings out two interesting facts about the robots The gyroscope- operated controls which guide them are capable of putting them back on course when they are diverted by something like
 machine gun fire but not when their flight equilibrium is upset altogether by for instance, the propeller blast of plane Together these factors indicate that with further refinement the robot would be weapon terrible, indeed, to combat. It was bad enough as it was.

LOOKING AT THE RECORD

Dewey has been talking about cleaning up Washington. Therefore it is now important to examine the prosecuting record of Governor Dewey on political cases since he became chief executive Of New York.
 On Sunday evening, December l9 1943, a delegation of high-ranking Republicans called at the Cover nor's mansion in Albany. They in- cluded Lieutenant Governor Joe R. Hanley, Speaker Oswald Heck, Ma iority Leader Irving Ives of the Assembly, and Senate Majority Leader Benjamin F. Feinberg. They asked Dewey to supersede Grand Jury which was to convene on Tuesday, December 21, at 10 a. m
 That Grand Jury, called by the O'Connell Democratic Administra- ton in Albany, was to probe anc prosecute alleged graft and lrregu- larities in the Albany Senate anc Assembly. Since the Republican Party is in control of both Houses naturally it meant that some Re publicans would get hit. Panic therefore, had swept Albany.
 So at the unique hour of 10 or a Sunday night, Governor Dewey issued an order superseding tht local Grand Jury and setting III two Grand Juries of his own.

HANLEY DIDN'T KNOW

q didn't know the money had been put Ill my account" Lieuten- ant Gov. Hanley told this column, until I went to the bank to ar range a loan and they told me l didn't need to borrow any mony because my son had deposited $2,OOO to my account. Jim owed me around $8,0O0 I had spent for his education and he was anxious to pay me back. I was quite sur prised to hear about the deposit
 If made mistake Lieutenant Gov. Hanley continued, "it was in letting my son go on the payroll Morris Tremaine (former State Controller, now dead) arranged 1t But my son, who is a lawyer worked hard and was paid for his job.
 Another man who helped put young Hanley on the payroll is former Deputy State Controller Charlie Mullins who, when called before the Grand Jury, refused te waive his immunity and would not testify.
 It is not the purpose of this column to pass on the merits o1 the alleged case against Lieutenant Gov. Hanley or any other New York legislator. Their activities were similar to some of the petty operations, nepotism and lobbyinl which this column also has exposed in Washington and which Gov Dewey quite rightly has promised to clean up The point is that close to home in Albany he hasn'' cleaned up-yet.

Forced Labor Bills
Buried AS Threat To War

Two major forced labor bills have
offered in Congress. Both have been
buried-not only due to labor protests.
but also due to the fact that neither
one answers the manpower problem.
The two bills are the Austin-Wads
worth bill and the Brewster-Bailey
bill. OF the two, the bill offered by
Sen. Brewster (R., Me- and Sen.
Bailey 3D., N. CO. is the worst.
Under this bill, no worker could
leave his job without permission Of
his local draft board-a straight Job
freeze. II he did leave, he would be
put into labor battalion regardless
Of the need or use to which he could
be put.
The bill would have frozen large
pools Of forced labor into nOn-war
jobs at low wages, as scores Of thou
sands Of cotton plantation workers
are already frozen. It would not
have contributed to war production.
The -Wadsworth bill, offered
last January, would have done tho
same job in smoother and potter
terms. There was no threat of forced
labor battalions, but the same idea Of
forced labor was there.

fitted, since high-priced attornies are
not available to him. The consumer,
and especially those who buy from
chain stores, would take 1t in the neck.
The decisive amendment passed by
the Senate was the Bankhead (polltax-
er, Ala.) plan to break price ceilings
on cotton textiles. This scheme would
raise the price of work clothes, women's
house dresses and kids clothes by 20
per cent and more, all to the benefit Of
the cotton textile manufacturer.
The cotton farmer, for whom Sen.
Bankhead and other polltaxers and
reactionary Republicans bleed SO pro-
fusely, gets nothing out of the amend
ment by way of higher prices for his
product. It all goes to the manufac-
turer, already making nine times his
