HOROSCOPE tThe stcrs incline
 but do not compel"
TUESDAY, JANUARY 1

Conflicting planetary aspects are discerned on this first day of the new year. Influences that emphasize national consciousness are active.
 HEART AND HOME
 This is a day to gather courage for coming social and economic con- ditions which will be exacting to ln- dividuals and families. The process of readiustment will continue to be difficult.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 As businessmen take inventories trere should be much reason for con- fidence in the future, if the stars are wisely read. Danger of inflatlon will be largely overcome by Govern ment policies but some prices will rise gradually.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Cooperation of colleges and indus try will extend recognition of scien- tific research and careful training for American men and women who will be the business and profession al leaders of the future.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 As this "age of the people" comes into existence under Aquarian influ- ences, clashes between men and Wo- men of differing points of view will continue. Europe will be the scene Of severe conflicts involving this country, but they probably will be settled through United Nations di- plomacy.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have tte augury of year of constant ac- tivity. Perplexing decisions must be made, especially in domestic rela- tions
 Children born on this day will be { serious minded, talented and indus trious. They may be sensitive and difficult to understand.

of planes ranging from C-46s to AT-6's were used by the future huntsmen to gobble up the shot, gun bargains.
 But the G.I. Joes who did as much as anyone else for their country weren't even allowed to get near the bargain counter. Fur thermore, Naval Reserve officers were not allowed to buy any shot, guns either Regular Navy officers with Annapolis pedigrees could buy, but not the lowly naval officer who came to his country's defense in the emergency.
 OFFICERS CLUBS
 One thing which regular Army officers could well afford to clean up in the opinion of National Guard and reserve Army officers is the officers club racket especi- ally the system whereby club funds are built up at the expense of the temporary officers to be used by regular officers after the war.
 The Schofield Officers Club in Hawaii is case in point. The treasury of this club accumulated the amazing total of $250,00o-so much that the Inspector Generals office was called upon to investi-. gate. When club officials were asked what they were going to do with this money, they stated quite frankly that they planned to build $100000 clubhouse after the war-on money made from tenn porary officers.
 Army inspectors who probed the situation found that the slot ma chimes had been set in such a way that they paid back only 25 cents on the dollar. The slot machines alone had paid the club $39,000 in three months.
 As result of the Inspector Generals investigation, the man. ager of the club was fired and the club was ordered to reduce the price of meals and give free dances. Even so, 1t was impossible to spend the large club reserve which will go to benefit regular Army officers, though paid for by reserves and National Guardsmen.
 Another case was the Officers Club at the Chemical Warfare School, Edgewoo Arsenal, Md. Temporary officers at the school had little time to enjoy the club. They were too busy studying. But at the end of the month. $2.50 was deducted from their pay. If they protested, their pay was held up. Meanwhile the club has S30,00C in it's treasury for the future use of regular Army, not temporary of ficers.
 The same situation exists in many other clubs throughout the country. Tn Fort Bragg, N. C., however, the reverse happened. There the Officers Club was caught short with a $16,000 deficit, due either to mismanagement or embezzlement. Whereupon, 2,000 officers were ordered to dip into their pockets to the tune of $8 each.
 (Note to Senators-If you want to study the way in which of ficers' clubs accumulate money at the expense of National Guard and reserve officers to be used later for the regular Army, sub

SHOTGUN BARGAINS

In Augusta, Ga, the other day the Army ordered a sale of surplus shotguns, pump guns and small calibre rifles. Instead of letting every man who had fought for his country participate, however, the sale was restricted to officers.
 The guns were real bargain about half their regular retail prices-and officers flocked to Augusta by Army plane. Some flew from Drew Field, Fla, some .,om Washington, D. C., some from as far west as Chicago and St. Joseph, Mo. Deluxe Army transportation was absolutely free and all sorts

ARMY FAYORITISM

Several members ol the oellate Military Affairs Committee who, unlike Senator Chan Gurney Of South Dakota, don't get out the prayer rug every morning and Salaam in the direction of the Pentagon Building, have done some careful studying of peacetime conscription.
 Here are some of the conclusions they have reached:
 l--If the Armys policy men want a big peacetime standing Army, their first move should be to cut out the favoritism and unfairness which has made millions of GI.'s and reserve officers swear that under no circumstances would they remain i'll the Army
 2--It has now been eight months since VIE day and five months since V-J Day, but as far as Sem ators can see, nothing has been done by the Arrly's cwn top gen. erals to clean out favoritism.
 3-Instead Of making the Army more attractive to enlisted men and temporary officers, the gen. erals. even before the end of the European War, began a careful propaganda campaign for peace time conscription.
 Conclusion of several key mem bers of the Senate Military Affairs Committee, including Johnson of Colorado, O'Mahoney of Wyoming, Kilgore and Revercomb of West Virginia, is that the brass hats have put the cart before the horse. They should clean up inside the Army first. Then they should come to Congress-but only after elimi- mating the favoritism which makes CHS blood boil

ENEMY DIRECTED

The Federal Bureau of Investigation
announces that in the year ending June 80,
last, it investigated 1886 cases of report
ed sabotage
The FBI says that none was found to
be enemy-directed. This will probably sur
prise many Americans but the fact is that
there has been practically no proof what
ever that enemy-directed sabotage existed
IN the United States during the war against
Germany.

General H. H.. Arnold, Chief of the
Army Air Forces, says that the peak of our
aerial bombardment of Japan will be reach
ed next March or April when an estimated
10000 tons of bombs will be falling upon
enemy territory monthly.
In 1916, the General asserted, Japan
will get three times the bomb tonnage that
fell on Germany in any one year. What will
