Democratic Congressman Louis Rabaut of Detroit, an Al member of the House Appropriations Con- mittee, will run for Governor of Michigan next year. Secretary of Commerce Wallace is worried over the way the Truman Ad- ministration is drifting. Am erican soldiers in Tokyo are burned Up over Gen. MacArthur's decree that the Imperial Hotel is off, limits for all enlisted men. Only officers can go there. They are asking if they fought this war to set up a cast system in the Pacific.
 Harry Truman has told friends that he realizes his political pres tige has begun to slip for the first time. He is now facing two deadly difficult ems-reconversion at home, snarled-up relations with Russia abroad. The fact that Tru- man realizes his troubles in itself is good thing. Eight hundred Marines from the First Division are still digging ditches on Okinawa waiting for transportation home These are the same Marines who stormed Guadalcanal so heroically but, like some other heroes, are soon orgott ten.

 It's big job and we doubt if it can be accom- plished However we wish him success.

 Here is what the Congressmen learned:

BOMBS FOR CONGRESS

Six members oI a Congressional committee sailing to Europe last August were nearly scared out of their wits while on the Queen Mary Headed by Representative Louis Rabaut of Michigan, a sub committee of the House Appropria- tions Committee had debated whe- ther to fly or to go by boat. Finally they decided to sail-but they wished they hadn't
 The group which decided to en- joy some relaxation on steamer chairs included Dean Gillespie of Colorado, Robert Jones of Ohio Butler Hare of South Carolina, Thomas O'Brien of Illinois and Judge John Kerr of North Carolina Kerr had argued for the boat trip and finally convinced his collea- gues.
 The Congressman were just be- ginning to relax on their first night out from New York when an Army officer came to Chairman Rabaut with disturbing message.
 The skipper thought you gentle men ought to know" he said that we have just received code message from the FBI. They re- port they have discovered there are number of incendiary bombs on the boat scheduled to go off at midnight
 There are several companies oi Japanese-U S. troops on board, the officer told Rabaut, and Japan is still at war with the United States"
 Rabaut called his colleagues to- gether and told them the news Judge Kerr's first comment was: T wonder if the skipper has ordered airplanes to hover around the ship
 All were alerted the entire night while the ships crew searched un- successfully for the bombs. Nc trace of them was ever found, but the restful relaxation the Con- gressmen had hoped for was not achieved until they set foot or solid ground once again

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27

Malefic aspects rule today. All matters of importance should be conducted with great care. Labor comes under threatening portent
 HEART AND HOME
 Uranus is in an aspect that seems to indicate a tendency for women to be perplexed by their postwar stat us. Muddled thinking may cause much dissatisfaction among those busted from wartime jobs but there are signs of promise for the future. Nasty marriages may bring regrets under this sway of evil portent.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Organizations to promote small businesses should prosper. New corporations that start modesty will profit from manufacturing novel, ties due to recent inventions. Science will amaze the world as it turns it's wide knowledge to constructive rather than destructive uses.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Peacetime training for the Army, Navy and Air Forces will continue to provoke intense differences of opinion. Congress will be relieved from much pressure in favor of the measure but the issue will be long before the public
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Canada is subject to strong plane tary influences denoting growth with wide business expansion. There is a sign read as presaging more power for the Dominion reflecting certain influences of the Labor Government in Great Britain.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of hard work in the com ing year. Slow progress will prove profitable.
 Children born on this day probab- ly will love all the finer things of life. Many will have artistic tastes.
