MONDAY, JANUARY 15

Until late today the planetary aspects are unimportant but after sundown benefic influences domi- nate. The configuration is promis- ing for persons in authority.
 HEART AND HOME: According to the seers the subject of divorce is to assume prominence in inter- national affairs. European and South American countries have gained distorted ideas of our so- cial customs and family relations from our literature and motion pictures, thus preventing cordial endorsement of our way of life.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Under this configuration business foresight should inspire far-reaching plans for future trade. A sign is read as presaging the rise of new leaders who will direct national enterprise and prevent unwise policies in dealing with the peoples of Europe and Asia.
 NATIONAL ISSES: Labor as a power in politics will gain respect ful recognition, and in legislative bodies there will be growing num- bers of representatives of the unions, it is prognosticated. Instead of a labor party there will be in- creasing power in established poli- tical organizations.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR $: Astrologers predict that the United Nations have passed through their worst period of conflict and fore ltell progress from now on which though interrupted will be amaz- lingly successful A final victory will Eblot out all enemy power but there may be prolonged fighting for many months.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good fortune. Great advantages are prophesied for those of courage and initiative.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be idealistic. They should be wisely directed and carefully educated, because extraordinary potentialities are foretold for ithem.

engine was out of the bomber and the pressure in the cabin suddenly released by the impact. The net result however, the destruction of two Japanese fighters, as the plane which rammed the Superfortress oareened into another Japanese pursuit and both fell while the big bomber was able to limp all the way home to Saipan.
 To British and Italian well as to Pacific bases planes habitualy come home severely damaged by flax rocket and enemy aerial fire that one marves that they keep to the air at all Only few short years ago comparatively slight damage to skin or empennage due to futter structural weakness could be expected to end in crash Not few peacetme planes have beeen lost by the impact of birds struck in flight But todays combat aircraft can lose parts of wings tail surfaces whole ailerons or even en- gnes in the of multi-engine types and still get back to base. Often, through the splendid work of maintenance they enter the lists again against the enemy Designers and builders may we'll be proud of this quality of durability, may also the training echelons of the Air Forces, which teach to control disabled well perfectly functoning machines.

OUR PLANES CAN TAKE TT

There is abundant evidence on every fighting front that arpower is able to hit the enemy hard The box against the Luftwaffe and the Japanese is ample proof of that But of the astonishing things about the air is the amount of punishment which our aircraft take and still live to fight another day at least get their crew home to base. The new Superfortresses clearly share this quality of toughness which has marked our other combat planes from fighters to bombers in all the theatres of con-

HOROSCOPE E "The stdrs incline
 but do mot compe"
SUNDAY, JANUARY IA

OONOA I, JANOAII IT
 Until late today, adverse aspects are active. In the evening benefic planetary influences prevail. Wo- men come under a sway that may be depressing.
 HEART AND HOME: Astrologers again foretell increase of attention to religious observances. Practical application of spiritual ideas to everyday affairs will be more widely taught. The service of chap lains in the armed forces is seen as of lasting benefit to the nation. BUSINESS AFFAIRS; Competi- tion in commerce will be intense after the war, astrologers forecast, but it will be scientifically directed. The great progress in economics, brought about by Government re- ouirements for war efficiency will aid future business development.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Civic re- forms will engage attention in many parts of the country. The seers emphasize that all com- munities must eliminate graft and bad conditions. If the nation is to be worthy of those who have made the supreme sacrifice, it must make good government it's first concern.
 INTERNATIONAL AF F A I R $: General Eisenhower's horoscope shows most fortunate planetary as- poets. With Mars as his ruling planet he is destined to continued success in his supreme command. Exceptional judgement and almost uncanny intuition are indicated in his stars.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of real progress. There may be temporary disappointments.
 | Children born on this day prob ably will be successful in their careers but their love affairs may be unfortunate.

Passing Kindness Along
(New York Tiines)

(New York Times)
 Benjamin Franklin when in France, appealed to by stranded American for passage money home. He answered. in effect T cannot afford to give out right the help you ask. But I like to keep bit of charitable money at work. I don't expect it to come back to me, but do expect it to be sort of revolv ing fund, continuing to do good it passes from hand to hand. will help you upon your promise to consider yourself under obligation to help another in need when you able to do so."
 Most of us, looking back lives, can re- member a time of illness or loss bewilderment when help a godsend It may not have been money it may have been friendly counsel as to choice of ways out of difficulty it may have been steady hand in prostrating sorrow. Looking back we know now that it made all the difference
 In gratitude for kindness received, let us pass kindness along to them

relations between Byrnes and Harry Hopkins are not too good beneath the surface; so with F.D.R. frequently away or tied up with the war, it is harder to get CO., ordinated decisions than at almost any time in years.
 NOTE-One thing which hasn't helped the Roosevelt -Byrnes rela- tions is the suspicion that Jimmy originated the clear 1t with Sidney" slogan which caused so much damage during the campaign. When Jimmy aspired to be his Vice Presidential running mate, F.D.R. was reported to have told him to get the OK of Sidney Hill man. Any leak from Byrnes about this probably was inadvertent, but his close friend Bernard Baruch has been given credit for helping put the story into wide circulation.

HINDER THE DOME

Looks like some of the dicta- torial tactics previously attributed to Democrats were spreading to the other side of the aisle. Republican Leader Joe Martin cracked down on two COP Congressmen, Clare Luce of Connecticut and Christian Herter of Massachusetts, when they refused to vote for a new Dies Committee. He punished them by refusing coveted places on the House Foreign Affairs Committee COP National Chairman Her bert Brownell believes that the Republican Party should steer its own course and not tie up with the Southern Democrats. But Joe Martin doesn't agree Justice Jeff Erickson will resign from the Supreme Court of Montana soon to enter the Navy. Erickson will run against Senator Burt Wheeler in the Democratic primaries in 1946 To improve Parliamentary relations, Congressman Kefauver of Tennessee, George Outland of Cali fornia and Charles La Toilette of Indiana, three live wires, are en route to England to revive the old Inter Parliamentary Union; the French Chamber of Deputies will be in on the meeting.

PERsUADING NAzI PRISONERS

Recently, the Army's shrewd psychological warfare branch in- stalled sound equipment at the edge of Nazi-held port behind the Allied lines in France and of fered the Germans novel Trial Surrender"
 The message broadcast to the Germans went something like this :.
 Try it out for three days If you don't enjoy being a prisoner with us, you can return to your units"
 As a result of the offer, eight Nazis surrendered. At the end of three days, four agreed to stay, the other four asked to go back. The Army let them go. To their surprise, however, the four came back a few hours later bringing more than 50 of their tired Nazi comrades to join them in the com paratively luxurious prison camp surroundings.
 NOTE-One constant complaint of the French civilian population is we are treating Nazi prisoners better than we are the peoples of the liberated areas.
