So great is the demand for Bibles and such is the shortage of paper that the Bible Societies of Britain and America have combined to order 1000 complete Bibles and 270O0O New Testaments printed in Sweden. These books however not to be in English, but in French, Bulgarian, Czech, Estonian Greek, Lettish. Polish Romanian and Serbian. It used to be that trade followed the flag Now it is the Bible which has that distinction
 As for the Bible in English, it is far and away the best seller. No modern author however great his popularity, is also compared to Bible sales One reason for the immense current de- mand is that nearly all fathers and mothers, when their called into the armed forces, that a Bible is part of their outfit.

Dynamic Secretary of State Stet- tinius~ went through a pleasant little ceremony after he had sworn in his new millionaire executives which the Senate debated so long, After finishing a little speech of congratulations and presentation, he walked directly over to Assistant Secretary Will Clayton, whispered anxiously, did I do all right? Did I say the right thing? Clayton looked down solemnly, nodded be- nignle . At one point StettiniuS remarked that it was hot in the room.g Nelson Rockefeller rushed to open window. Under Secretary Joe Grew remarked that it was cold. Rockefeller rushed to close it Five of the six new appointees appeared for their initiation in dapper, neatly pressed, blue suits, with white shirts The sixth, Poet librarian Archibald MacLeish wore a carelessly- -donned tan shirt $tettinius called the first five milliohaires by their first names, but referred to the poet-librarian as "Mr. M6cLeish" Clayton de- scribed his Senate confirmation fight as "a tempestuous voyage through difficult waters ..

LITTLE FLOWER FUMES

One of the hottest feuds outside of Washington is now raging be- tween OPA Administrator Dan Woolley and New York Mayor La- Guardja. Before becoming New York's OPA chief, Woolley was La Guardia's Commissioner of Mar kets. but was forced out last year after sulphuric battle with the Little Flower.
 While La Guardia is blaming OPA for New York's difficulties in meat supply and at the same time telling porters that he can't blame the New York retailers who join the meat strike, he himself is enforcing OPA regulations in New York with Il strictness that has OPA officials shuddering Rowling about OPA on the one hand, La Guardia is sending city inyestigat- ors around to grocery stores and hauling retailers in by the hundreds for petty violations. A total of 900 had to appear in single days court session last week.
 Dan Woolley has La Guardia's objective all doped out. He has told New York reporters that what the Little Flower really wants IS to

Confusion in Italy
Washington Post)


 The surprising thing about the fall of the Bonomi government in Italy and the difficulty about finding
 successor not that fell but that lasted long it did Never strong at best, t has been plagued by conditions which the strongest regime would have found difficult to cope with For at no time since Premier Bonomi formed his government with the support of the six ant-Fascist parties have the Italians been masters of their own dect!nies. The richest part of Italy then and remains still in enemy hands. while in the where the Italian government is technically free to operate action can be taken that does not have the active tact approval of the Allies To be the Allies have to an increasing degree pursued handS-off policy dur ing recent months However, they have never re- nounced the right to interfere in Italian affairs should the successful conduct of the war demand it.
 On top of conditions which have inevitat 7 crip- pied the initiative of Bonomis cabinet, the govern ment has suffered from growing disunity within its ranks Its left and right wing supporters have never altogether seen eye to eye, and this tendency to divide has been accentuated Italys problems have multiplied There have been sharp differences of opinion reconstruction the authority to be given to the Committee of National Liberation rep resenting the partisan elements operating in the north and the questions of the purgng of former Fascist elements that have somehow managed to retain their places in the bureaucracy well in industry and finance.
 Probably it will make very little difference whether, is rumored Bonomi makes try at forming a government. For under existing cir cumstances the art of government in Italy is a species of shadow boxing. The Italians being allowed to play at it, for government in real sense is impossible in a land dominated by outsiders And the Allies don't seem to be helping much. For instance the British cold shoulder to Count Sforza whose high standing at the fore of the army of freedom antedated this war, certainly requires ex- planation. Bascaly, of course, the confusion that prevails in Italy is of the many grim legacies which Bento Mussoln left to his country, since Il Duce allowed no other the opportunity to learn leadership.

 HEART AND HOME: Women of all ages and classes will prepare to assume new responsibilities. The great majority of those who have been pinch hitting in war indus tries and other work will now realize that wage-earning is to be lasting duty. Permanent economic and political equality will be de- sirable for all Americans.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The seers warn of a strong speculative spirit in the spring. Danger is forescen in real estate booms and wholesale home building operations. The wise will avoid contracting debts or taking unnecessary risks. The stars seem to promise prosperity in the new year, but there is an evil DOT tent for the end of the decade.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Reduction of expenditures by government - local and Federal-will be demand ed by the nation as it contemplates the great cost of prolonged war. Although victory over the Nazis is not far off, the Stars presage long continuation of the terrible cost of maintaining tremendous war machine
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS s: United Nations offensives are to be continued despite unfavorable weather. The stars presage the em- : ployment of more desperate meth ods by the Axis, which will resort to gas and new. peculiarly clever weapons.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good luck. There should be wise conser- vation of money and energy.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be exceptionally clever, ambitious and successful They will be vigorous and energetic

F.D.R. VET0ESB BILL
 T0D0 AWAY WITH
 NATL. MONUMENT

WASHINGTON, Jan. l The President vetoed a bill to abolish the Jackson Hole Monument in Wyoming.
 In memorandum of disap- proval" made public by the White House, President Roosevelt said among other things, the legislation would deprive the people of the United States of benefits to an area of national significance from a standpoint of naturalistic, historic and recreational values"
 The monument, embracing 222, 1000 acres adjoining Teton National Park, was established by executive order in March. Private interests in Wyoming opposed the creation on the ground that it removed much land from the state tax rolls and for other reasons.
 The President said he would be sympathetic to enactment of new legislation whereby revenues of the National Park and Monument SyS- tenn could be used to offset on an equitable basis any loss of taxes. He said he would also favor a new law incorporating the administra- tion policies governing private use of Federal lands within the monu- ment. Among other things he sug- gested this legislation might pro vide assurance that private land holders who now hold grazing privileges continue to have such privileges.

10000 Idle Via Strikes
BY UNITED PRESS

Back-to- work movements among striking employees in war and eS- sential industries throughout the nation cut to less than 10000 today the number of workers away from their jobs.
 With decisions to end work stop pages in Detroit and along the eastern seaboard, the largest single strike centered in Akron, O., where a walkout of 16,0o0 Firestone Tire and Rubber Co.,, employees entered its 18th day. The strikers, members of the United Rubber Workers (CIO), were scheduled to meet Sat- urday to consider a War Labor Board order to return to work.
 Some 1000 CIO United Dairy workers voted yesterday to end a strike at two Detroit creameries which had been unable to deliver milk to 15o,ooo families. The dispute arose over the union membership of part-time managers.
 However, approximately 1000 De- troit workers remained away from their jobs at four war plants and II lumber yards.
 l Newspaper strikes spotted the la bor scene. Tn New York, where de- liveries of IA daily papers have been held up 12 days because of con- tract dispute, violence was reported along picket lines.
 Two members of the newspaper and mail deliveries union were stabbed last night as the tension mounted. The VILE, irked at strik- ing carriers failure to heed an or der to return to work, revoked the closed shop provision of their con- tract extension.
 Publication of three Burlington, Ala, dailies was suspended last night by 8 strike of composing room employees, and the Fort Wayne, Ind, News Sentinel and Journal Gazette failed to publish for the fourth con- secutive day. Tn both cases, employees are members of the International Typographical Union (AFL). Representatives of 1000 striking CIO oil workers announced an irn- mediate return to work at the United Fuel Gas Co.'S Charleston, w. Va, plant, serving seven eastern states, on the assurance that the WLB would meet to consider pay demands. At Camden, N. J., production was resumed at the New York Sldpbuild- ing Corp. Plant when 5000 welderS ended 6 &-hour walkout. The work stoppage was prompted by WLB re- fusal to approve wage increase.
 Some 2,500 United Auto Workers (CIO) on strike at the Mack Go. Plant at New Brunswick, N. J., went back to work today, presaging an early return of $500 fellow union members who left their pohs at the companys Plainfield, N. J.. and AL lentown, Pa, plants.

Rotion-Free Cars Likely

Washington, July 12 - (U.P.) - New passenger cars, which already are in production, may be ration free by next January - but most Americans probably won't be able to get one for some time afterward.
 The War Production Board be- lieves that enough materials will be available during the next two months to allow manufacturers to make more cars than their present | quotas. Those call for some 690, ,000 new cars by next March 31.
 There was no estimate of the ex- act number of new autos that the industry would be able to make if materials were more plentiful. But Henry P. Nelson, WIPE director of reconversion, told a press conference i yesterday that barring unforeseen changes in the war situation new cars could be removed from the ra- tion list by January.
 Until then, essential users such as doctors, law enforcement officers and some war workers will get first call.
 The WIPES announcement meant that the lid will be oil to buy a new car in January - if you can find one. There is an estimated backlog demand for five to eight million cars, however, and two or even three years may elapse before everybody who wants & new car will be able to buy one.
 The auto industry now has a zo- ahead to turn out cars at top rate of 100000 a year. Yesterday auto industry men asked the WIPE for permission to build facilities to turn out 100000 cars annually.
 The WIPE told the auto men to draw up estimates of plants and equipment they would need to turn out 100000 cars. Estimates are to be submitted within a few weeks.
 The Office of Price Administra- tion is trying to work out prices for new cars. It has arranged to meet auto makers individually to iron out price problems. WIPE predicted swift action.
