HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do nOt compel"
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 29

Benefic aspects rule today which should be cheering to the mass of the people Good news regarding our flying forces is forecast.
 HEART AND HOME: Under this configuration there should be resig nation regarding war sorrows and a mounting faith in reunion on another plane of existence. The stars awaken spiritual conscious ness. The churches will gain greatly in influence next month.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This is to be a week ill which there will be watchful waiting in the business world until after the election, pro- jects of great importance will re- main in the planning stage but there is a sign presaging tremen- dous activity as the year ends.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: As a result of war training in industry and the armed forces, men and women who will be responsible for the recon struction of national affairs will prove exceedingly resourceful and efficient, astrologers prophecy. Am erican playboys and playgirls will be few in number
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S.: Recovery of valuable loot taken by the Nazis from subjugated nations will be only partially successful, it is foretold. The mania for destruc- tion which characterized the fol- lowers of Hitler will persist even when precious pictures and art objects are demanded by the vic toriouS Allies.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of suc- cess. It is important to push all financial matters. ns
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be exceptionally talented and intensely energetic. Keen witted and capable, they will be popular and successful.

THE ODANIELS

The w. Lee O'Daniel News is just a plaything for the kids, Mrs O'Daniel, wife of the pass-the-bis cults "Pappy" Senator told the Senate Campaign Expenditures Committee last week. Pulling out all the stops, Mrs. O'Daniel sobbed her way through bitter but clever attack on Chairman Theodore Green of Rhode Island, who's e major fault as chairman is that he is too much of a gentleman.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 30

There is promising sign for today which should be lucky for leaders in business or politics In- itiative is under good direction.
 HEART AND HOME: Under this configuration women should ad- here to routine work. It is unfavor- able for ambitious plans and for biding for love affairs. Less im- pulsive wooing and marrying will prevail than in recent months Much of the glamor of war and the magnetism of uniform wearers will have vanished.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Limited manufacturing for civilian needs will assure willingness to pay high prices for household requisites. Ap- paratus for heating, from stoves to centralized systems, will be greatly needed in the coming winter, which will be severe in many parts of the country.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Postwar naval bases will focus the atten- ton of the people as well as of Congress. Although the United States has no ambition to acquire territory, national defense will ne- cessitate continued use of islands and harbors on which the nation has spent vast sums of money. Much feeling on this issue is indi- cated
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: With Mars as his ruling planet, Gen. Eisenhower, who is a Scorpio subject, has a future of continued and expanding glory. Remarkable victories are foreseen for this famous American who this month comes under especially fortunate planetary influences.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of ad- vancement, but devotion to work will be the price of success. De- sire for pleasure should be curbed
 Children born on this day prob ably will be forceful as well as talented. A first rate mentality is forecast for these boys and girls

 O'Daniel, incidentally, interrupted the testimony of his litutenant, Garfield Crawford, to demand that his wife be heard-just when the session was getting hot for Craw- ford.

 Mrs. ODaniel also spoke proudly of her own sons who gave up a year in their studies at the Uni versity of Texas to don the uni form and serve their country dur ing this horrible war;
 But the real fact is that these two sons were kept within 20- minute automobile drive of Wash ington until this columnist revealed they had been kept close to home

Court s Decision
 TurnsBackClock, Labor Protests
Decision Calculated To De- prive Minority Groups Of
 Workers Strike Rights

Both union leaders and National Labor Relations Board officials voiced alarm this week over a shocking de- cision handed down by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va, calculated to deprive minority groups of workers of the right to strike.
 The ruling involved the Draper Corporation of Spartanburg, s. C., and Al members of the A. F. of l.. Molders' Union, who were fired after engaging in a so-called un- authorized strike to protest man. agement ''stalling" in negotiations with inc union.
 Their reinstatement was ordered by the N.L.RB., which held that, whether a minority or majority, they were entitled to protection of the Wagner Act.
 However, the court at Richmond, in a decision written by Judge John J. Parker, overruled the Board, labelling the walkout "wildcat," ,"-even though the union itself later backed up the strikers.
 Parker contended the stoppage con- stituted an effort by a minority to Gin terfere with collective bargaining" and that hence the Wagner Act did not apply.
 "The purpose of the act," he said, "was not to guarantee to employees the right to do as they pleased, but to guarantee to them the right of col lective bargaining for the purposes of preserving industrial peace"
 Herbert Thatcher, associate of Joseph Padway, A. F. of L. general counsel, assailed the decision as S'one of the most dangerous that has come out the courts in years"
 Tt turns the clock back for de- cades," he said. Tt is an outright perversion of the Wagner Act, which declares specifically that nothing in this act shall be construed as impair ing the right to strike If the ruling stands, it would completely outlaw strikes by individual crafts or other minority groups, no matter how much they are provoked by employers. The decision is an absolute menace"
 N.R.L.B. spokesmen also assailed the ruling and indicated that an appeal may be carried to the Supreme Court.

2 Manufacturers
 Are Indicted For Robbing U. s.
Books Were Falsi6ed To Hide Excessive Profits
 In Renegotiation

The extent to which some war contractors are prepared to go to defraud Uncle Sam was revealed this week in indictments obtained by the Department of Justice against industrialists in New York and Detroit.
 The Department said these were the first cases charging contractors with falsifying their books in an effort to escape returning excessive profits through renegotiation, but indicated that other cases are under investiga- ton by the Federal Bureau of Inves- tigation and that additional indict- ments may be expected.
 The Detroit indictment is against the Affiliated Engineering Company, which has sub-contracts with the Ford Motor Company and others in con- nection with the building of airplanes for the army.
 Among the specific frauds al- legged are that $ll, ,OOO was charged off as salaries for mythical sales men, that $555 ,85 was paid out to defray the funeral expenses of the father of one of the company officials; that $6,OOO spent for en- tertainment was charged to s'travel- ing expenses" and that $3,5OO spent in gifts was similarly con- cealed.
 The indictment lists number of gifts made by officials of Affiliated to various persons with whom they did, or hoped to do, business.
 Among these were sewing ma chimes and expensive guns given to purchasing agents of the Chrysler Corporation; suit of clothes to an army lieutenant; suit cases, watches and paid-up hotel bill for representatives of Curtiss- Wright and other firms, and a variety of other items, including ladies' un- derwear, perfume, costume jewelry, flowers, liquors and golf equip ment.
 The Department recalled that An drew Kalman, part owner of Affiliated, IS charged under two previous indict- ments with defrauding the government o1l parts furnished for army bombers. Two Ford officials were also indicted for participation in the frauds.
 The New York indictments are against the Freeport Corporation and the Coat Corporation of Amer ica, which are affiliated. The con- cerns are charged with submitting report, showing a profit of $l3,- O5l.63, while the government con- tends they cleaned up about $2OO,OOO.
 In both cases certified public ac- ccuntants are to be called in to an- swer for their participation in "con- spiracies" to rob the government.

The Reader
 Has the Floor
To the Editor,
 The Union Times:

The article against the Equal Rights Amendment in your issue of Nov. A talks about many things which have nothing whatever to do with the amendment. The Demo- cratic and Republican Parties have endorsed the amendment in their national platforms. Already a ma- jority of the members of the United States Senate have pledged their support, and the majority of these are Democrats. Would these men endorse the kind of silly state- ment copied in your paper today?
 The amendment has nothing to do with protective legislation for women as such. In the words of Senator Guy M. Gillette, 'sthe amendment would simply require that equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged on account of sex, not that all securities shall be abolished" He further says that ''many of those who have protested are not at all conversant with the proposal now

methods of reporting finances to members and taking strike votes." Apparently the workers seemed to believe that unions other than their own didn't pursue such methods though the fact is nearly all of them do.
 A significant sidelight was the rev. elation that the members of so-called independent" unions have the most complaints about the functioning of their organizations. Next highest pro- portion is among C.I.O. members and the least in A. F. of L. ranks, the survey explained.
 "A. F. of L. members seem inn measurably better satisfied than those of the CLIO. or independent uniOns," the magazine declared.
