fighter. When his back was to the wall at Fl Alamein just few miles from Cairo, he did a great job. When given offensive jobs as in Sicily, at Caen and at Arnheim he failed to make the grade.
 How much of Eisenhower de- cision to put Montgomery in com mand of the two American Armies depended upon his ability as de- fensive fighter, and how much on British pressure is not known. It is known, however. the transfer Of commands was opposed in the War Department and was carefully hushed-up' for two weeks and not even all of the top-ranking execu- tives in the Pentagon Building knew about it.
 Also it is significant fact that Eisenhower is answerable to Chur- chill as well as Roosevelt. He can- not be removed by Roosevelt with out Churchill's OK and he has to get along with both. That is an im- portant point not realized by many. But not to be forgotten.
 NOTE = Rivalry mong high ranking generals exists in every war, probably verse in the last war. Gen. Pershing and Gen. Peyton March, U. s. Chief of Staff, were hardly on speaking terms. Gen. Pershing also sent Gen. Clarence Ransom Edwards of Boston, hero of New England home from France because of clashing personalities.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not c0mpeW
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY IT


 This is not an important day in planetary direction but benefic as- poets dominate in the afternoon and evening.
 HEART AND HOME: Girls may find social events most suspicious for romance This is a fortunate wedding date, lucky for brides maids and brides Reaction from holiday fatigue will inspire hos pitalities which should be especially successful.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS Building of airplanes comes under a sign that may presage a decline in out put but the seers warn that need for great numbers of bombers and fighters will extend over many months. Manufacturers of varied products have the forecast of con- tinued profits, for civilian needs are to be more pressing than ever in the spring.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Washing ton, D. C., continues under the best planetary government indi- eating that the nations business will progress fortunately. The Cap ricorn ingress is most favorably aspected and as the sign has juris- diction over the zenith of the world horoscope, the outlook is most promising for the United States.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS $: Astrologers foretell that even after the Allies occupy Berlin activities of subversive agencies will continue. Warning is given that advocates of a severe peace will meet with strong opposition.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of bene- fits. Property will gain in value. Diplomacy in relations with em- ployers may be necessary.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be fortunate all through their lives. Talents and character should assure success.

KANSAS MAMMOTH FOOD CAVE

KANSAS MAMMOTH FOOD CAVE
 Although the War Food Admin istration is going ahead with the building of it's huge underground storage cave near Atchison, Kan, some storage experts within the agency are convinced the project is a waste of good money. About 1,75o,O00 will be spent outfitting this natural cave with scarce pri- ority air cooling equipment and work to make the cave suitable for these expenditures will not be able to bring about freezing tempera- lures.
 Capacity of the cave will be about 2,600 carloads, equal to the com bined capacity of commercial ware houses in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, plus the cities of Omaha, Neb, and Sioux City, Iowa, all put together Stor- age people in these areas are wor- ried sick about the future of their business.
 [ Last month the Kansas Packing and Marketing Company, Hutchin- son, Kan, offered to turn off it's valuable refrigeration equipment and take in dried beans, anything to keep operating. However, a lot of warehouses don't want to handle government eggs because they de- teriorate and spoil other foods in the warehouse. In addition to being unable to get freezing temperatures, WFA had to build a new ice plant
The Daily Alaska empire., 1945-01-16

at the cave, in order to provide ice for shipping. Since the plant ca pacity was not large enough for summer shipping, huge ice stor- age house also had to be built. And the Missouri Pacific Railroad had to construct several miles of new road to get trains to the cave.

Stock Market Resumes
General Retreat
In Fresh Selling
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, May 10.-Scattered
stocks made a feeble stab at re-
covery in today's market. but de-
mand quickly tapered and the re-
treat was resumed on most fronts.
Individual comebacks before mid
day apparently were based on the
outlook for peacetime prosperity.
Talk of the President recommend
ing that Congress reduce war agency
expenditures by billions, with Euro
pean victory complete, served to
chill buying forces Reconversion
doubts persits as a liquidating argu-
ment.
Aircrafts were resistant after the
opening. Motors and steels got into
the plus column for brief interval.
Further profit selling then began
to make itself felt, and with activity
picking up, losses of fractions to
around 2 points predominated near
the fourth hour.
On the offside were Santa Fe,
Great Northern, New York Central,
Southern Pacific, Bethlehem, United
States Steel. Chrysler, General Mo-
tors, Du Pont, Goodrich, Deere,
American Smelling, American Can,
Allied Chemical, Johns-Manville and
Eastman Kodak. Intermittent gain
ers included Douglas Aircraft, Bell
Aircraft and Gulf Mobile & Ohio
Bonds were mixed.

Have you a husband or a son or

Every one has. This Is war in
which almost none has been un-
touched.
You lie awake nights, wondering
whether your particular him" is cold
and wet and hungry, whether he's
i'll or wounded or facing death. In
the still darkness you cry-tears you
couldn't shed when there were peo-
pie around, but now you're alone
and you pray, little silent prayer
this is just between you and God,
Send him back to me safe and
sound and whole Let me say to
him. You're never going to be cold
or wet or hungry again. You're
going to see the warm, bright sun
and smell the perfume of sweet
flowers and dance to gay tunes and
know once again the beauty of the
sunset, the softness of a woman's
touch. You're going to know again
