To Hold the Line
(New York Times

(New York Times
 James F. -Byrnes the Director of War Mobiliza- tion declares that present controls on prices, wages and ratoning mustbe kept at this tme and that the line against imitation must be held until the danger of imitation has passed He adds that the relationship between wages and prices must continue to be kept stabilized.
 This is excellent far it goes. When it is being widely predicted that the President will smash the Little Steel formula before election day, for the supposed political profit from that act, MT. Byrnes statement could not have been better timed.
 But it leaves or two important questions un- answered. It would be possible of course, for the President to smash the Little Steel formula, to hand out substantial pay increase and to argue even in the face of this that the line still being held firmly against infation because all that had really happened that wages being allowed to catch up" with prices Would MT Byrnes himself approve of such step and accept such argument? The figures he himself cites imply that he would not. He points out that while the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows
 253 per cent rise in the cost of living since January 1941 average hourly earnings have gone up in the same period by 364 per cent and average weekly earnings have gone up 51.3 per cent.
 This brings us, however, to the next question Is MT Byrnes speaking authoritatively for the Admin istration is he merely speaking for himself? In short does MT Roosevelt support his own appointees? Does he support the very explicit statement of his own Director of Economic Stabization, MT. Vinson, who make up it's mind regarding revision and extension assured Senate committee when 1t was trying to make up its mind regarding a revision and extension of the Price Control and Stabzation Acts, that As far as am concerned have intention or purpose to break the Little Steel formula?
 Precisely because MT. Roosevelt's record is so cratic with regard to supporting his own appontees it is his duty now if he means to hold the line against inflation to declare his intention unmlstak ably And it is no less the duty of MT Dewey, par cularly because of the ambiguous utterances of the Republican platform and one or two of his own, also to declare unmstakably that he will support the Administration if it adheres to the declared inten- tons of his officials to hold the line against for wages well as prices.
 It would be tragedy if a new wave of lnflatlon were to be touched off by cynical competition for short sighted votes

WHAT WAR MEANS

{. During the days of Jap attacks on Dutch Harbor Alaskans had faint idea of what is all about but that didn't amount to much In the States, outside of the fake Los Angeles alert when anti aircraft guns oosed projectiles into the sky at a target that wasn't there and the flax dropped here and there-Americans know that the war is and has right along been far away.
 Figures recently released in London will give a rough idea of what war means. In London, you will remember people already talking about lifting the dimout and it tried for few nights.
 In London, at last count there 26,000 homes damaged beyond repair There were 52000 seriously damaged but habitable. There 873,000 damaged slightly. Out of a total of approximately million homes, of each IA homes damaged. Another of IA repaired and habtable Six of every seven were only so slightly damaged that the problem of making them habitable did not arise.
 But Londoners still are not starving. There other countries where people know the real con- sequences of Greece, Poland, Norway, other countries first blitzed, then starved by the Nazs.

 Benefic aspects rule today, which should be favorable for many lines of business. It is an suspicious date or signing contracts.
 HEART AND HOME: Girls will find this fairly lucky date for romance but they should be cau- tious in making decisions. Women of all ages must choose their fu- sure vacations as they face gradual elimination from war work. Domes- 5icity should be accepted philo- sophically and practised scientific ally.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Manufac- .urers of women's clothing are as- sured of continued large fall trade, While the tremendous increase of sales that marked the last few years may not be m Tn a ined, there will be much more buying of apparel for the winter.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Emphases will be put on conservative ideas in social and political matters. In the national campaign the sup pression of radical views will be sought, but the stars are read as presaging strange admiXtures of partisan issues.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: Aspects of the New Moon of this date are read as promising much to the United Nations Aviation will come in for greater attention than at any previous time because of marvellous feats resulting partly from novel American inventions.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of pleas ant progress in financial affairs but business ventures should be avoided
 Children born on this day prob ably will be high-strung, talented and difficult to please. Selfishness will be an outstanding fault.

vice in the early days of the war despite deafness, blindness in one eye and shortage of fingerS-aH at a time when the Army was in a rush to get almost anyone. Now many of these men are doing semi menial tasks.
 At Fort Meyer, Virginia, one group is daily assigned to grave digging at the National Cemetery Others count socks and shirts for the Quartermaster Corps, are now becoming psychological problems for the Army. Some found that in- firmities when they entered have become aggravated since, but will never be recognized as having re- ceived disabilities in service.
 The War Department points out that theoretically" men over 39 had an opportunity to leave the Army more than year ago, if they had job opportunities in war industries. But the War Department also admits that it had to stop somewhere, and that since the WAC recruiting program failed, it is now necessary to retain the 35-year-olds to make up for the scarcity of WAC's.

AOHltHUCu gfOHk T uSC ObNt his brigadier generalship actually is all set and is only waiting the proper time for public announce ment. It will be La Guardias job to put the Italian Government on it's feet The idea was heartily ap- proved by Churchill, who thought the fiery mayor of New York was just the man to inject the proper backbone Into the limping Bonomi Government. The Bonomi regime faces a terrific job in bringing back stable Italian democracy after two decades of dictatorship and four years of bloodshed.
 La Guardia left Congress during World War I to become major in the Air Corps, where he served on the Italian Piave front. He has been itching to get back into uni form in this war, but War Depart ment brasshats have shuddered at the idea of coping with the mayors dynamic, irrepressible temperament. Churchill and Roosevelt have now overruled the brasshats.
 The appointment of Leon Hen derson as economic boss of occu- pied Germany is also definitely set. Only point to be decided is his exact title and power, which will depend somewhat on the ideas of our Allies.

WARS END

One inside reason for General Marshalls sudden visit to the west ern front was to decide the prob abilities of ending the war this year. That was also one reason why Assistant President" Jimmy Byrnes accompanied him. Byrnes wanted to get a clearer picture of how big a supply job would have to be accomplished if the war continued into 1945.
 Before General Marshall left Washington, he confided to high-up Administration chiefs that there was still chance to end the Ger man war this year.
 It is no secret that General Eis- enhoWer has been bringing up tre- mendous supplies and reinforce ments to make one more gigantic push before winter sets in. This push will tell the story of whether the war can end this year.
