duction This of course will mean more lives lost in the Pacific
 The men fighting the battle of the Pacific want to believe that the end of the in Europe will only mean that the greater part of the war effort which has been directed against the Germans will be turned against the Japs; not that the remote sacrifices which have been hardly noticeable to the civilian at home will be eased
 A pause to celebrate and rest at the halfway mark is poor taste when there are lives at stake
 The end of the in Europe calls not for celebration but if there must be any observance 1t would be better to the moment for pedgng all Of our efforts as one towards bringing the war in the Pacific to a speedy end.

COOPERATION ALL lMfOhlhfN
 What the British want to avoid is having the United States put thousands of planes into trans oceanic operation immediately after the war. They know we have both the planes and the pilots. We will need to use them. We can put so many companies flying on so many different lines that smaller coun- tries won't be able to compete. AS result, the British argue, each country should go in for its own national line and subsidies.
 President Roosevelt, on the other hand, believes that competition be- tween all companies and all coun- tries will sharpen air wits, make for faster, better air developments. He is dead opposed to cartels, either on the ground or in the air.
 Most of the smaller countries, however, line up with Great Britain. They see no chance for their small air lines unless they do.
 Basically, the question boils down to the fact that we have the planes, Britain has the bases. Her islands, dominions, crown colonies
 yer the Seven Seas. Neither coun- |. can fly without the other. This first step in international coopera- ton is going to be all-important.

publican politicoes long ago shar- pened their knives, counted Senator Downeys scalp already in the bag
 Downey, however, has fooled them. Despite the fact that the Republicans have been spending money like water, have billboards plastered all over the state and are able to buy far more radio time than Downey, their candidate, Lieutenant Governor Frederick F. Houser, is running behind.
 Recently COP Houser has been blasting Downey on alleged ab- senteeism, claiming that he has been in Congress only 52 per cent of the time. Actually those who have watched Downey laboring in Washington know he is a glutton for work. Summing the cocktail parties and social salons of the Capital, he gets to his office early, works late.
 That is why the Republican charge has got under Downey's skin. Recently he sent Houser a registered letter, challenging him to debate at any time any place in California on the question of his absentee record or any other subject Houser so far has ducked. Meanwhile, the irate Downey has confided to friends that he will bring suit against Houser-an un- usual move in any political cam paign-or take out an injunction to stop his attacks.
 Southern Califor may no longer be the happy hunting ground of oldsters, but ham-and- egger Downey isn't ready to retire yet.

An Old Threat Renewed
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 It is becoming increasingly apparent that the fight against inflation-a fight which has been req sonaby successful to datew meet it's stiffes tests in the months ahead. We warned on every side of a postwar boom in manufacturing as the need for new consumer goods begins to be met and as industry converts again to peactme production. Boom days are imitation days.
 dozen labor organizations are campaigning With renewed fury for the cracking of the Little Steel price limitations be done away with at the earliest possible moment Farmers are continuing to seek an unlimited price ceiling for all their produce
 If any one of these requests should be granted, to garner votes for any other reason, the entire price structure of the nation will give way and we will be headed for an economic collapse which will make the depression of 1929 seem mild The collapse will not come at once of course, but it will follow certainly upon the heels of the unhealthy boom which lifting of price and wage restrictions would bring.
 We have proved to the world that America IS able to work out her problems of production, even under the stress and strain of war. We can continue to work out those problems under the stress of threatened imitation if we will put aside the tempta tion for easy money and easy profits which the post war period holds for us America must continue for time at least to follow rigid controls if she is to return to healthy, balanced economy We cannot allow any one gorup faction by the of powerful political demands to throw our system into cycle of imitation which cannot but end in disaster for a11 pf

"V-DAY" CELEBRATIONS

Plans have been made in various cities through the nation for public celebrations the day that the war ends in Europe And the announcements of the contemplated celebrations have brought some bitter comments from the who fighting the war in the South Pacific.
 The attitude of the in the Pacific theatre of war is understandable and warranted. It is not hard to imagine how they feel when they read of plans to celebrate what to them is only the halfway mark in a global war
 To the men in the Pacific victory in Europe will not mean any respite for them in the fight against the Jap

COP CHAFF

Gov. Dewey and his Secretary, Paul Lockwood, have lived through the most thrilling crime stories in history but are still rabid detective story readers Dewey tries to read a detective story every night before going to sleep In the executive mansion in Albany, Dewey leaves a little slip of paper for Elliot, the butler, every night, designating when he wants to be called in the morning .. Dewey likes silk pajamas in loud colors, though he dresses soberly during the day All Dewey's suits are tailor made, cost about $l00 apiece, are produced by the same Fifth Avenue New York tailor who makes the Duke of Windsor's clothes :. The COP nominees shirts are also custom made He no longer wears attachable collars, finds them a nuisance.
 Public affairs make it difficult for Dewey to spend as much time as he'd like with his children :. The two boys leave for school be- fore their father gets up for break fast, but dine with the rest of the family about twice a week at 6:30 p. m.

reads the Broadway columns, es- pecially Walter Winchell's |. After breakfast, Dewey frequently walks about a mile to his office in the Capitol, is always accom- panied by two big bodyguards :. Once at his desk, Dewey finds a complete set of clippings carefully culled from the nations press, con- corning matters his aides think should be brought to his attention.
 Since winning the Presidential nomination, Dewey has less time for swimming, likes to bounce around the pool with Aide Lock wood and Publicist Jim Haggerty. Both Haggerty and Lockwood were crack swimmers in college, still easily outdistance their boss :. None of his entourage call Dewey by his first name, all address him as Governor Dewey gets to the theatre about once year, at other times sees movies on the top floor of the executive mansion, in a small projection room especially fitted for the purpose Dewey's s book reading is scant, is confined to subjects which he may be try ing to bone up on, at the moment, for a speech Somewhat thin skinned about his limited knowl- edge of foreign affairs, Dewey is now trying to catch up, reads books on world events, finds it tough sledding.

HOROSCOPE E "The stdrs incline
 bat do not cOmpeW
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31

Adverse aspects dominate today which may be difficult for persons in authority. The planetary influ- ences are favorable to labor and to union leaders.
 HEART AND HOME: Restlessness under protracted war conditions and limitations may be felt in many American homes. Patience and fortiute are essential at this time when young mothers may be put to many tests and inconveni- ences. The stars seem to indicate that from now on happier days may be expected
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Close as sociation of Russia and the United States in the money affairs of the world is prognosticated. While the forecast for satisfactory agree ments among members of the United Nations is encouraging, Stalin will dictate certain import ant plans for the postwar stabiliza- tion of financial values.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: There is a sign read as presaging a trend to- ward the uniting of minority forces in the United States whenever there is any important point at issue. The seers warn against group organizations that are inspired by resentment against established GUS toms or usages.
 INTERNATIONAL FFAIRS: Invasion successes by the United Nations, which proved that pre- parations meant defeat for the Nazis, are to produce surprising results in coming events. As the year draws to an end history is to be written with amazing speed
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year oi steady progress toward important goals. Business, not love affairs should absorb attention.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be unusually talented but inclined to independence that ig- nores advice. Desire for pleasure should be overcome at an early age.
