HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do not compel"
FRIDAY, JUNE 29

Conflicting plaentary influences are active today. Women are under a sway changing from threatening to favorable.
 HEART AND HOME
 The evening should be suspicious for home entertaining. Older men who have curried favor with debut antes during wartime now will dis cover that their popularity is fleet ing.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Accidents may be numerous. In surance of lives and property will be of extraordinary importance through this year, as sinister omens are seen in the stars. There will be no dearth of employment this summer. The need of workers in agricultural regions will be greater than usual. NATIONAL ISSUES
 Intensity of feeling will increase as revelations of war cruelties are made public; danger of emphasiz-  ing natural desire for wholesale punishment is foreseen. Justice will be slow but sure.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 According to astrology Asia is to be the new world of industrial de- velopment. Natural resources will at tract Americans who will apply modern methods to ancient systems of production and distribution.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of careful pre- paration for novel adventures. Both men and women will seek changes of environment.
 Children born on this day will be capable of great achievements in any line of work that they select but they must learn to cooperate with associates.

has been hoping they would be given an opportunity to report di- rect to the President on their yer sion of how war should be fought. This opportunity came at last when, two weeks ago, President Truman requested the air force to present their plan on how Japan could be defeated with the most economical cost in human lives.
 A military plan against Japan had been worked out under Roose- welt, but when Truman came in he thought it wise to review the whole matter. Therefore, he asked the three major services-the Navy, the Army, and the Army Air Forces to present their plans cn the most effective strategy fer defeating Japan.
 It is no secret that the Army's plan long has called for mass attack by land troops. Discussion of this has been quite open. How ever, the air forces have believed i that by stepping up the bombing
 of Japan, by wiping out all fac
 tories and making the entire pop 1 ulation homeless they might be able
 to force a surrender without mass
 invasion. always costly in human lives. Even if they could not force
 a surrender, air force strategists 1 have believed they could so pulver-
 ize Japan that about 100000 Ameri- can lives could be saved during any later invasion.
 It was expected that the Army,
 Navy and Army Air Forces would
 each report their plans direct to
 the White House However, un-
 known to President Truman, Gen. eral Marshal, Chief of Staff, went
 to Gen. Ira Baker, who commands the air forces in General Arnold s
 absence and asked him not to sub
 init separate air forces report in other words to go along with the Army's invasion plan. General Baker bowed to his su- |. perior, General Marshall. So Presi- | dent Truman will get no separate , report from the air forces dis i agreeing with the land army strate- gists.

 boiling mad at this So certain ' Senators, particularly A. B. Chand- ' Ter. of Kentucky, member Of the ) Senate Military Affairs ommittee . plan 10 do some probing of the 1 matter.

 Unfortunate part of this invasion plan is that President Truman un- doubtedly has believed that the air force heartily concurs in the plan which has been submitted. He has no way of knowing the contrary.

WASHINGTON, Jan. L. up -
House Republican Leader Joe
Martin of Massachusetts warned
today against "hasty" action in
the face of Administration plans
for enacting a universal peacetime
draft law this year.
Both compulsory military train
ing legislation and tax revision
should wait until after the fall OF
Germany, Martin indicated in re.
viewing for reporters his ideas OF
what the new Congress converting
Wednesday should take up.
Il don't think there is any rea.
son to be stampeded into hasty
decision" Martin said. "A peace
time draft cannot become effec-
tive until after the war, and il
should receive mature considera
ton"
Perhaps" he added, ''the boy:
coming back will want to have
something to say about it."

would like to see a universal draf
bill passed this winter, and Chair
man May CD-Ky) has announced

Balloon, Held Japanese,
Is Found Near Portland

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 1-UP'
"A large balloon-probably of
Japanese Greyhound 38 miles
southeast of her. was the object
of an intensive investigation today
by FBI agents and army officers.
Discovery of the balloon Sunday
by unidentified residents of the
area lent added significance to the
previous discovery of two balloons
in the northwest.
One of these, identified as Jap
anese, was found three weeks age
near Kalispell, Mont. 1t was large
enough to transport four Or five
men and was reported to carry
incendiary devices. The balloon
apparently was made of processed
paper.
The second balloon was founc
last week at Tacoma, WASH, but
there has been no confirmation
that it was of Japanese origin
Omen said the Army had the
authority to announce whether the
latest discovery was japanese. 1t
was found in the area near Esta-
cada, site of a large power plant,
some miles away lies an import
ant part of Portland's water sys-
ten-the Bull Run headWorks.
Army officials and other sources
offered no comment as to why the
Japanese might send over the bal
looms or where and how they might
be released.
Tokyo recently announced that
Japanese submarines again were
lurking off the Pacific Coast Of
the United States, it was recalled.
In early 1912, when Jap subs were
last reported off the coast, small
plane dropped incendiary bombs
in a. southwestern Oregon fores
area. No large fire resulted bu
the plane never was apprehendec
and it was widely believed tina
it had been launched from jar
submarine.

B0WLES SAYS 0PA
FACES HARD TASK
BY CHESTER BOWLES
Price and Rationing Administrator
Written for the United Press

lttCIl lOl tliS OhAtSu ASSS
Americans know that 1945 will
be tough year. There are search
ties now and the OPA mas already
had to tighten its food rationing
program to see that everybody
gets his fair share.
Inflationary pressures against
price ceilings and rent ceilings
are always great and they will
undoubtedly be greater in 1945.
The longer the war lasts the nard-
er it will be to hold the line. "
OPA will have a bigger and more
difficult job to do this year than
ever before.
That job won't be easy. Indeed,
it seems to me that never since
tine early days of OPA have we
had so many serious problems to
handle. They will be less serious,
however. if Americans stick to the
rules of rationing and play their
part to help keep prices down
both now and after We day.
In 1945 we must keep on the
job to hold down prices of all es-
sential commodities and to plan
for reconversion so that industry
will go to work and employ large
numbers of Americans and sell
goods at prices all of us can afford
to pay.
With that kind of job ahead OF
us we need the complete coopera.
ton of all Americans.

LABOR PRAISED
| FOR WAR WORK

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1-UP)-
Government officials today sound
ed high praise for Iabor's part in
the war effort during 1914 and
joined union officials in calling
for still greater output OF arms
in 1915.
Clinton S. Golden and Joseph
D. Keenan,, War Production Board
Manpower officials, said in a spe.
clal report that man-days lost dur
ing the first 10 months of 1914
totalled 7,135, 600 less than in the
corresponding periods of both l943
and 1941.
One of the most notable fea
lures of our war effort is the way
in which free labor in the United
States has beer able to meet everv
demand upon it," they said. we
are confident it will produce the
stepped-up requirements for war
materials and equipment that we
must have in order to win a de-
cisive victory"
War Manpower Chief Paul "
McNutt expressed confidence thai
free American workers could out
produce both the Mikado's fana
tlc-manned factories and Hitler's
factories manned by German robot
workers.
Organized labor's pledges for re
neWed effort came from Presi
dents Philip Murray OF the Con
gress of Industrial Organizations
and William Green of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. Greer
said labor's determination to pro
duce should be new warning Il
the enemy. Murray promised tina
the.CIO would adhere to its no
strike pledge until both German,
end Japan are defeated.
