WACs AND SOLDIER MAIL

The compassionate army double play, whereby 400 WAC's are de- tailed to answer GI mail sent to congressman is still going strong.
 Some congressman have stopped sending their soldier mail to the War Department, but the total volume hasn't decreased much. The Adjutant Generals Office is still transferring WAC's to Washington to handle congressional political mail, despite the fact that the WAC's enlisted to relieve soldiers for active duty, not to release civilians from the army's employ.
 The girls are now working over time two nights a week, have had all their three-day passes and fur loughs cancelled, just to take care of the backlog of 80,000 letters which have poured in on the War Department and congress protest ing against unfair demobilization

HOROSCOPE E "The stdrs incline
 bMt do not compel"
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 21

This is not an important day in planetary government. It is a time threatening to the health of the ag- ed
 HEART AND HOME: As the new world gives high hope of better con- ditions on the planet Earth, drink ing among women and young folks will be of paramount importance in many homes. A drive against social customs detrimental to manners and morals will be headed by leaders in social reform.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Socializa- tion of the banks of Britain will con- tinue to present problems to Ameri- can financiers who must help our Ally rebuild its trade and commerce. ] The underwriting of Socialistic me- thods in business will create many contradictory situations, the seers foretell.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Tax relief will be first concern through the coming months. Although Congress may legalize reductions from war time schedules there is sign that presages much restiveness among heads of business concerns. INTERNATIONAL A F AIR S: Sweden is fortunate in planetary di- rection. The stars indicate that pros perity will prevail there. A note worthy contract of some sort with the United States will be profitable.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of uncertain- ties which should lead to good for tune. Women will be lucky in love.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be high-tempered and diff ficult to understand. Many have the elements of genius.

sion systems and the expanding philosophy of earlier retirement from business, entering new era More and people will spend more and more money for recreation during working years and after retirement It all adds up to doubebarreled affair The business of supplying Americas needs for sports lesuretime activities and recreational travel seems certain to become major economic enterprise and the American people will learn increasingly that wholesome recreation and travel are part of a sane program of modern living
 Let's hope that when the opportunity to Alaskans next Spring in the form of millions of Americans who will be seeking places to vacation won't miss the boat what can become Alaska's ma jor enterprise

practices.
 The War Department now gives virtually no individual attention to congressional queries. Instead it has set up electrical typewriter machines which feed a special tape, much like that used on teletypes. This tape contains a prefabricated form reply for every possible query. The WAC's only type in the name and address of the legislator and his constituent As a result, writing to the War Department is now about as help full as tossing stationery and stamps down the drain.
 War Department chiefs have rigged up scores of form replies, some very tender when it comes to words, but rather cold when they come off an automatic electrical typewriter with a generals sigma ture, forged by two WAC's es- pECldliy u dllCQ 1Ol bAlC PQA POoCs Perhaps the corniest is one form reply which reads like this
 The eagerness with which the
 men of the army, and their loved ones, await their discharges is
 appreciated by the War Depart
 ment. It is our objective to do
 fast and effective job of getting
 our military personnel back to

 may be assured that we are ex-
 erting every effort in accom-
 plishing this task"

Lifting Building Controls
(New York Times)

(New York Times)
 The go-ahead signal has been given for private building by lifting Government restrictions on the building of homes and commercial structures on October 15. At the time the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion has announced a six point program which is designed to increase the available supply of building materials, strengthen price control for these materials, prevent hoarding discourage excessive and unsound lending on mort lgages and provide information and advice on home values. In addition, conference is planned to map out program to increase the production of materials and facilities required to expand home construction and to help fight inflated building costs and real estate prices
 As result of the inadequate volume of building during the years and before, the expansion in population, the large increase in savings and the tight housing situation prevailing in many sections of the country, enormous potential demand for housing is available. Whether not this demand will become fully effective will depend in part upon the prices at which houses can be made available. Undoubtedly, all most of the available building supplies could be used in relatively hghcost housing but It will not be very long before this relatively limited demand is satisfied. Then dependence will have to be placed upon lower-cost units in order to make mass demand effective.
 One important phase of the housing problem namely, the cost of abors ignored in the six-point program which has been promulgated, Various make work rules, insstence upon on-the-site work, op- position to prefabrcated housing etc. all contribute to hold up the total cost One major need is to these practices and permit the resulting reduction in unit costs to take place. In addition, in many munes antiquated building codes contribute to higher costs. These too, must be modified revoked if the cost of housing is to get down to the level where mass market is possible.
 Price Administrator Bowles has been insisting that he be empowered to perform the impossible administrative job of fixing price ceilings new houses. The best cure for the housing situation is more houses, not price control Price control of houses, with its attending uncertainties absorp tion principles and delays, certainly would not con- tribute to that end The lifting of building restrictions will do

ITS A BUSINESS

Between 1880 and 194O the business of recreation and recreational travel increased rapidly In spite of economic troubles many American families began to take trips over weekends and for vacation periods Camp, roadside cabin enterprises and tourist homes established in the mountains along the and the inland roads It probable that one of the expressions of higher living standards in the United States in the years ahead will be larger purchases of equipment for sports and games of all types, as well as more money spent for travel
 Half century ago common pattern was for a family to set up savings program for old-age financial independence With the spread of the social security plan the increasing numbers of private pen

ATOM CONTROL

The Atom Control Bill, now be- fore congress, was shrouded in such strict secrecy that at first the War Department didn't want the provisions of the bill published. Brass hats merely wanted to refer to the bill by number. Finally they got cold feet on such ultra secrecy and agreed to publicity. The Atom Bill sets up a nine-man committee composed of $l-a-year men drafted from big business to control future development of the atom. When Truman was in the senate, he was vigorous in his criticism of $l-a-year men working on important war jobs yet at the same time carrying on private business at home. Friends say, however, that Truman let the army send the Atom Bill up to congress without studying it. Many congressman don't like the idea of the DuPonts, Union Carbide and Carbon, plus other big business representatives controlling the atoms future. If properly de- veloped, the atom would eventually replace electric power plants, gaso- line. coal, etc, in which big busi- ness representatives have a great investment.

CAPITOL CHAFF

President Truman refused to clear Henry Morgenthaus book, Germany is Our Problem" while Morgenthau was still in the cabi- net. It contained too much dyna- mite. Now Morgenthau is out of the government and has published the book anyway-with the dyna- mite. Congratulations to Gen. Arthur Easterbrook of Santa Ana, Calf, for permitting his enlisted men to give him their gripes face to face and for speeding up dis charges. If there were more gen. erals like EaSterbrook there would be more men wanting to stay in the army. Atom bomb scien- tists have adopted two grim slo- gans. They are: Victory in the Second World War is our last vic tory" and again World War Two is either the last war or the next to the last-After that the lights of the world will go out" Presi- dent Truman is beginning to lose political support for the first time from Democrats. They want more action on both labor and foreign affairs. Administration leaders believe the best solution to the strike situation is the bill pro- posed by Senator McMahon of Connecticut making labor unions follow the same formula as the Railway Labor Actin other words submit their dispute to a media tion board before paralyzing an industry with a strike.

MONDAY. OCTOBER 22

Adverse planetary aspects domin- ate today after the early morning. It is not lucky date for signing i'm portant legal papers.
 HEART AND HOME: Women will be ambitious for good positions un- der this sway which imparts the de- sire to earn. This is favorable date for applications but long-delayed de- cisions are indicated. College girls should early choose their profeS- sions, for the life of leisure no long, CT will be generally chosen by Amer ican wives.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: The unem- ployed should not look to the Gov ernment for support. The stars arc read as warning against dependence in any form for the able-bodied. Elf ficiency will be more general than il was before the war and there are signs of great promise for all whc desire success in trades or profes- SionS.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: With the
 aim of improved living conditions
 for all, city planning will be felt as
 never before by the American people who now will realize that proper dis tribution of the benefits belonging
 to the nation is imperative. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Enough food will change the ideas of many Germans. There are signs indicating that industry and general efficiency will hasten return to nor mai conditions.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of success. New vacations will attract both men and women
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be exceedingly bright and precocious. They will demand con- stant attention for they like to be amused.

SENATOR PROPOSES
FOUR-POINT PLAN
FOR ALLIED UNITY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-UP)-
Sen. Alexander Wiley, R., Wis
tonight proposed four-point
think before you criticize pro-
gram which he said the United
Nations must follow to prevent
disunity.
Deploring recent article in the
London Economist as "a miser-
able contribution to the cause of
Allied disunity," he outlined these
rules of conduct designed to make
the people of the United Nations
practice mental discipline:
l. Consider issues from the 9TH
er nations viewpoint before criti-
Ching it.
2. Concentrate on common ties
with other nations rather than on
disputed issues.
3. When we have found an is
sue on which there is genuine diff
ference Of opinion, discuss it with
our Allies without prejudice, with
out hysteria, without breast-beat-
ing"
4. Develop poise, not poison
within ourselves; humility not
bravado, restraint not rashness.

war;" Williams said in his first
speech as governor. Our boys are
marching together on foreign fields

as it was when our men marched
off to war.
And when victory is won, l will
put forth every effort to aid re-

employment and education, so
that we may show them in small
