 THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21

IHURSDA1 DECEMb6fS zl
 Benefic aspects rule today which should be fortunate for labor. The configuration is rather uncertain for aviators.
 HEART AND HOME: Women are under suspicious influences, pre- saging surprises and happiness in the coming holidays. This is lucky wedding date but caution is en- joined in travelling. Girls have the promise of exciting and memorable social engagements.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The out look for the new year is bright al- though it reveals unusual hazards in trade and commerce. Reconver- sions and readjustments will re- duce profits for many large cor porations.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Civic pro- gress will be hampered by property owners who resist improvements in sium sections and crowded factory areas. Under planetary influences, the urge for sweeping reforms will be strong but limited results are indicated.
 INTERNATIONAL A AIR s 1: Runners of peace negotiations will be numerous. Great battles on land and sea will bring national rejoic- ing as well as mourning in the last days of the year. Unusual dangers are indicated for high-ranking of ficers. Enemy desperation will add to the fury of conflict
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year in which they may be disappointed but which prove in the end lucky. They should avoid new ventures in love or finance.
 Children born on this day prob ably will have fortunate careers which may be extraordinarily eventful. Health should be always carefully safeguarded.

The W ashing ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Najor Robert .. Allen on active dutyJ

WASHINGTON-Few people out side the Administration know how much bitter feeling there has been inside the Government against the State Departments appeasement policy toward Franco's Spain. It has come to head more than ever recently with Francos shipment of essential war materials to Hitler, at long last forcing the State De- partment to shut off gasoline and oil shipments to Spain.
 For months, Cabinet members and other Administration leaders have been trying to persuade State Department officials that it's Span ish appeasement policy was wrong. They knew on the inside what out siders did not know. Among other things, they knew that Spanish Fas- cists had raided certain U. s. con- sulates, destroying large quantities of OWI propaganda. They knew that the seal of the United States over the door of the U. s. Embassy in Madrid had been pelted with stones so that the enamel was chip ped off, but the Franco government refused to apologize.
 They knew that sighting, un- grateful remarks had been made in the Spanish press about American Red Cross shipments of food, and that Fascist gangs picketed Ameri- can offices and made trouble for non-Franco Spaniards who were toe friendl yto the U. s. A.
 : They also suspected that the Nazis were using Spanish soil for air bases for raids against Allied shipping, and that strategic mater ials were going across the border to Hitler.
 Nevertheless, Secretary Hull questioned some time ago about his Spanish policy, told n ewsme n: whats wrong with it? It's suc- ceeded, hasn't it?"
 Finally, however, the State De partment has suspended oil and gas shipments, in view of Franco's flag rant and open sending of strategic supplies to Hitler. How much fur there Hull goes will now depend on the ire of U. s. military leaders.

Scrap Soon Begins for Democrat Number Two;
 Good BaffIe is Indicated
By JACK sTINNETT

ASHING TON, Feb. 11.-It appears now that the nationa Democratic convention in Chicago in July isn't going to be without in- terest after all.
 The recent Democratic national committee meeting here made il pretty clear that even if they dc draft Roosevelt" for fourth term, they are not going to be deprived this year of a good old fashioned scrap over the vice presi- dential nominee.
 Talks with Democrats in Congress and political observers bear that out and two leading candidates fo1 the nomination, sharply divided over issues, already are in the field They are, of course, Vice President Wallace, who launched his campaign with the avowed intent of extend ing the policies of the New Deal; and Speaker of the House Sam Ray burn, who is a conservative by na- ture and an old-line party Demo- crat of long, unblemished standing
 Results of the Associated Press committee poll, which showed these two about equally favored, with Wallace having slight edge shouldn't be considered as ruling out other possibilities. In spite ot the fact that Wallace and Rayburn were far out in front and that third place fell to James A. Farley, whose nomination would be a miracle re- gardless of his popularity, such mer as Little President" James F Byrnes and Sen. Harry s. Truman can't be written off
 Even if the convention delegate: assemble with the sole intention oi nominating President Roosevelt or the first ballot, they are going tC have some say about his running mate. The Presidents nod will bt important, naturally, but it woni be as important as it was in 1940 if the delegates don't like the mar the President names.
 ] At no time in the Presidents long career has his selection of run ming mate been so important tt party unity and perhaps even tt preventing split in the party al 1 the polls.
 The selection of Robert E. Han. negan. of St. Louis. as nationa committee chairman to succeed Postmaster General Frank Walkel is no real clew. He got his jot mainly because Walker wanted hin and neither the White House nol any important party faction hat any serious objection to him. | Whether he is second Farley remains to be seen. He was tn. first to deny any such comparison declaring he wasn't skilled or ever 1 (COntinued on Page Twol

PEARL HARBOR, Feb. 1.-The twelfth raid of the war on Wake Island, 2,0O0 miles west of here, and continuing attacks by American warships and planes on unidentified Japanese held atolls in the Marshalls, was announced by Adm. Chester w. Nimitz.
 The new blows on the Marshalls were carried out with sustained as- saults on Japanese positions through Thursday for the fourth consecutive day in post invasion campaign to clear the archipelago of the enemy.
 Not a single plane is reported lost in any of the operations, nor is there any report of ship damage.
 The bombed Marshall atolls were not identified, policy of the Navy Department to keep the Jap high command guessing on the direction of attacks.
