MR.. TRUMAN

Practical politics was at work in Chicago recently

New Deal seemed pretty well over and done with-so
far statements and action for public consumption

dealis and theorst and placed on the ticket in his
stead practical politician And they put him there
not for himself alone. There were considerations OF
purely political nature behind the move. There may
have been day when New Deal leaders could walk
along with their heads in the clouds and still win
elections Apparently they feel that day has passed
Harry Trumans background is one which will
inspire confidence in certain circles where the Demo-

public service prove that he is adroit and efficient

His work has carried him into most of the States OF
the Union where he has become as well known-or

Senator Kilgore of West Virginia,
believing that it will be highly de-
moralizing to the enemy to know
the tremendous arms SURPRISES ac-
cumulated here, intends to ask for
a thorough Senate airing OF the
entire question.
NOTE Best illustration of the
conflict between big business and
little business over peacetime con-
version is the manufacture of cleo
trio irons. The big companies
didn't want the WPB to permit
electric iron manufacture, because
little companies would get head
start in the peacetime market
Little companies, however, were
idle. Finally, WPB permitted the
small companies to make irons, but
stamped the trademark of big COM
panies on them SO the latter
wouldn't lose their peacetime mar
kets.

CONFLICT OVER RECON
VERSION

The men who prepared this re-
port have been doing the same job
for a long time. No previous fault
had been found with their work
But the report happened to be at
cross purposes with the views of
some of the most important peo-
pie in Northumberland Somer-
veil, War Mobilizer Byrnes and
General Electric's Charley Wilson.
They have opposed peacetime
conversion now, have battle d
against WPB boss Donald Nelson
on this point. Nelson, on other
hand, maintains that it takes just
about as long to tool up factories
for peacetime work as it did 10
tool up for war He points out
that, when Henry Ford converted
from Model T Ford to Model A,
it required months. Therefore, un-
less industry is given some chance
to get ready for peacetime work
now, Nelson maintains, we will have
several million unemployed in a
few months time.

British Books
New York Times

British publishers in curious situation.
Their allowance of paper is 40 per cent of their con-
sumption before the war and this is not wood paper
Their paper used be made of esparto grasses from
Spain and northern Africa; now it is made of straw.
They are short of labor in all branches of production
and especially in binding. Meanwhile the demand Cor
books is such that according to The London Econom-
ist nine new books out of ten oversubscribed
before publication and often the orders exceed the
number printed by four or five times The pub
fishers print small editions, seeking to cover the
demand for as many kinds of book is possible;
a worthy purpose, but causing waste of both machn-
cry and labor Utlitarians may be consoed to know
that only fourth of the books published is fiction
The Publishers Association asks for larger quota
of paper at the earliest possible moment for certain
deferments of workmen and workwomen and the re-
moval of certain obstacles the export trade. Some
of its demands The Economist characterizes as lex
cessiye and unreasonable but admits that its pro-
posals for the future deserve hearing For the
return both economic and cultural for small di-
version into book publishing is likely to
be large"
In the face of this deprivation, of so many
Others our British friends make their usual good
record London correspondent of this newspaper
tells us that for the past few years it has been almost
impossible to buy the books of favore and famous

MONDAY. AUGUST "A

Benefic and adverse planetary as
poets are equally active today. The
business week begins under a PROM
ising direction.
HEART AND HOME: After the
First World War, women were en-
couraged to emphasize beauty and
to stress charm. Under Aquarium
influences, the spiritual and intel
lectual will have potent appeal
among returning soldiers, who will
seek high intelligence in American
women. Girls must cultivate tai
ents and virtues which cannot be
purchased at a cosmetic counter.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Caution
should be the guide in the business
world. While the next three months
will be marked by certain shrink
ages in volume of trade, general
prosperity will prevail. Despite the
usual election slumps and the large
number of discharged war industry
employees, merchants and manufac-
turers will profit.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Return to
principles and moral standards of
pioneer days will be preached with
renewed earnestness. Lack of re-
ligious training in American homes
will be deplored and efforts will
be made to correct omissions
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Punishment to be melted out m
enemy leaders responsible for acts
OF horror, prosecutions and whole
sale murder will engage wide at
tention next month. Revelations
of barbaric cruelties will arouse
public sentiment but the seers warn
that justice and not revenge must
rule judgment.
Persons whose birthdate it Is
have the augury of a year of nro-
gress. Happiness in the home is
indicated.
Children born on this day prob-
ably will be talented. They should
be popular and successful in their
careers. -

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compeW
SUNDAY, AUGUST 10

This is not an important day in
planetary direction. There is sign
OF evil portent that may presage
disappointing news C o n C ernin
United Nations ground forces.
HEART AND HOME: The clergy
should benefit under this sway
which indicates fame for chaplains
in the Army and Navy. Attention
to religious observances is enjoined
by astrologers. who foretell that
men returning from the war will
be of serious minds due to many
rendezvous with death.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: AS aut-
umn draws near, the number of
men and women discharged from
war industries will greatly increase.
The problem of employment for
them and for demobilized service
men must be solved wisely. There
is a sign presaging success for lead
ing businessmen whose resourceful-
ness will provide jobs for all who
are able to earn fair wages.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Criticism
of changed aims in education will
be widespread as school and col
lege courses are announced. The
difference between advocates of
practical training for future Jobs
and supporters of established
academic standards will be definite
and sometimes unduly prejudiced.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S :
Venus and Jupiter eliminating over
Tokyo may encourage Japan to
make an artful peace offer next
month. Warning is given Of nu-
merous and clever treacheries. Aut-
umn earthquakes are indicated. A
disaster before this month ends is
foreseen
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augury of a year of fair
ly good fortune. Nurses should
benefit greatly. -
/ Children born on this day prob
ably will be bright in mind, fond
of books and generally reliable.
Their health should be safeguarded
to avoid nervous breakdowns from
overstudy.

Guided:

flow adequate equipment and am
munition in adequate volume TO
our troops overseas and to sustain
the large scale operations planned.
Increased production of certain
types. of ammunition is neverthe-
less essential in order to insure
adequate supplies of specific items. "
The report went on to cite the
increasing production of steel and
copper and to point to SURPRISES on
hand. 1t also contained this sig
nificant statement:
THE decisive factor in the de-
cline in labor requirements in the
munitions industries has been the
continued rapid increase in output
per worker. This trend will con-
tinue accelerating the release of
labor as munitions production de-
clines."
This statement was made just at
a time when War Mobilizer Byrnes
was bowling to the Army and TAX
ing the unusual step of superseding
Donald Nelson by announcing that
because of manpower shortages, no
civilian conversion could be started
without the okay of manpower chief
Paul McNutt

with Byrnes regarding manpoweI
shortages by stating:
The turning point of direct wal
requirements for manpower ha;

forces now at peak strength, the
further large releases from the
