 NOTE-The coal crisis points to one result of postponing a decl- sion on a new Secretary of Labor. Miss Perkins is staying on the Job by request" her heart not Ill the work, and never able to cope With these big strikes. Meanwhile, some White House advisers suggest that various moves could be made in advance to head off John L. Lewis such as bringing home several hundred decorated heroes who live in mine areas, and who could inn press the miners with what coal means at the front. However, there is no far-sighted Secretary ot Labor on the job to head off a nationa catastrophe.

FIGURES

We commend to the attention of the recent calamity howlers the report of Secretary of War Henry Stmson American casualties during the first three weeks of the big German counteroffensve The official War Department casualty report listed 4033 dead 27645 wounded and 20866 missing among the men of the American First, Third, Seventh and Ninth Armies during the main period of the counter offensive between December Is and January '.
 The report of necessity is preliminary, since a precise accounting of battlefield casualties is task of many weeks, but it is in striking contrast with the estimated German casualties of approximately 90 900 men The Allies captured 10000 of these.
 We have no desire to minimize the battle losses of the American armies. As quickly the complete casualty reports available think they should be released with attempt at sugar coating But 1t is noteworthy that while all of armies the Western Front suffering losses on the scale of 4000 dead and 10000 missing, good many people here eapng to the conclusion publicly and vociferousy, that losing men by the hun dreds of thousands and the Germans slaughtering the cream of our Armies.
 As matter of fact, it is apparent, and prob

Veterans Loans
(Washington PoSt)

Washington Post
 We are glad to hear that movement is afoot to dssipae of the misunderstanding that exist as to the character of the loans made available to vet erans under the so-called C. L Bill of Rights Recently a New York upstate banker spoke out against the "come-on' advertising of banks and urged the need for frank explanations "of the fact that the veteran
 is getting nothing absolutely free except part of the first years interest and that, if he borrows money it must be paid back" In justice to General Hines Administrator of Veterans Affairs it should be pointed out that he has done his best to disspate misconcep tons concerning the character of the veteran loan program If his fail carry conviction brief glance at the regulations relating to guaranty Of loans
 issued by the Veterans Administration should suffice to disluson veterans who think that loan Of $2O00 can be obtained by merely walking into a bank and asking for it.
 As we pointed out when regulations covering ap- plications for guaranteed loans for the purchase of homes were issued last October veterans applying for loans must convince bankers that they can make good of them and that they financially able to carry them That proviso will automatically exclude large number of from participation in the program. Furthermore, the limitation of Govern ment to per cent of the amount of the loan with maximum limit guarantees of S200O) leaves the lending banks carrying large propor- ton of the total risk that it is doubtful whether even veterans who might make good of loans will suc ceed in obtaining them in any considerable amounts. We strongly suspect that the chief value of the antee provisions from the veterans view point will be that creditworthy loan applicants will be able to borrow a little than they could without the Government-g guarantee provisions. And maybe few doubtful risks that would otherwise be turned down will be accommodated.
 In short, there is nothing in the nature of gift giving about these veteran loans. Nor is there any desire on the part of the Veterans Administration to encourage borrowing unless the veteran is able to use the borrowed funds wisely. Anyone who raises false hopes that the loan program is concealed kind of argesse doing the veteran geat disservice and putting obstacles in the way of smooth functoning of the loan program

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 4

Mingled good and bad aspects are present today There is a good sign for the clergy, especially for chaplains in the various services.
 HEART AND HOME-Seers who read in the stars defeat of the Nazis by the end of last year now revise their prophecies, which al ways take into consideration ele- ments of surprise and uncertainty They foretell United Nations vic tory in Europe some time this year but again place the end of the Pacific conflict in 1947 or even later.
 1 BUSINESS AFFAIRS-While be- stowal of vast funds for public edu- cation and welfare marked the policies of the wealthy of an earlier day, they will not be initiated by the new war millionaires, who avoid publicity.
 NATIONAL ISSUES - Inconsis- tencies regarding government ideals WILL Dt lCNCdlCo diiiOil6 HiShiDClo of the United Nations. While Am ericans expend blood and wealth in fighting for democracy some of their European associates will remain loyal to imperialism. Sin ister aspects are discerned.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS + Since the start of World War II astrologers have noted aspects in- dicating strong revolutionary in fluences among European peoples. These increase the trend to Con- munism which will gain greatly in postwar Europe and Asia.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of first rate progress. Restlessness should be overcome and patience culti- vated
 Children born on this day prob ably will be temperamental and difficult to direct, for they will be exceedingly talented and independ- ent.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 5

Uncertain planetary aspects seem to be active today which may bring war news that mingles success with temporary illustration.
 HEART AND HOME-The nation at home must now face the neces- sity of actual sacrifice in material comforts, the seers foretell. Despite sacrifices on the battlefields, life in the homeland has continued to be normal, but it is prophesied that the second three years of war will not be so pleasant as 1941-44.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS-Transpor- tation problems will affect trade and commerce this month, when there will be increased demands for supplies at war fronts. Produc- tion in factories will be expanded as workers realize supreme needs for mammoth outputs.
 NATIONAL ISSUES = Growing impatience regarding strikes and labor difficulties is forecast. The outlook for closer understanding between employers and employees is promising as Americans see the importance of unity of effort to hasten the end of the conflict. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS 4- According to the stars the United States must be prepared to carry the brunt of the Allies war burden Uranus having completed a revoIu- tionary cycle in our own chart is read as indicating that henceforth no part of the world can be sep arated from any other part of it
 Persons whose .birthdate it is have the augury of a year of suc- cess and popularity but financial recklessnesS must be avoided. Children born on this day prob. ably will be adventurous and rest. less. They will be individualistie and talented.

GENERAL" sFJJIOTT ROOSEVELT

IT didn't leak out of the oeiiaee Military Affairs Committee put last week. it's new chairman, Seh- ator Ebert Thomas of Utah, mace delft move probably aimed to facilitate confirmation ot EliloeV Roosevelt as a brigadier general
 Hitherto, all military promotions sent to the Senate have been sent to a Military Affairs Sub-Commlt- tee headed by Happy Chandler ol Kentucky for scrutiny. This com mittee has then recommended passing or rejecting the promotions.
 However. Chairman Thomas told his colleagues last week that thls committee had been rather cum bersome and he believed it should be dispensed with
 At this point, Senator Chandler spoke up, and without any irrita- tion remarked:
 I'm not looking for a job Tor myself, but I think 1t would be a IIloldhC HUI NO NNSA-AAANN
 nominations, I've been chairman of this subcommittee for so long that I don't know that I'd want to con- tinue anyway, but I do feel that no man should hold the high place of general in the United States Army without a group of Senators looking into his record and study ing it carefully
 Several other Senators agreed with Chandler but nevertheless it was decided for the time being to take military promotions up in full committee The full committee therefore, was sitting when young Roosevelt's name was voted out of the committee for confirmation Had a subcommittee handled the matter it might have been bottled up considerably longer.

Two years ago when he was in charge of Economic War fare, Wallace tried to sign a treaty with Bolivia stipulating that the increased prices we paid for tin would be passed along to workers in increased wages. But the State Department said no. This week, however, the State Department is signing new agreement, and this time Wallace's proposal to benefit the men who mine the tin is writ ten into the text.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6 GNS)
Republican support was prom
ised today for the proposals OF
Senator Vandenberg (R) of Mich
igan TO place restrictions on use
OF American armed forces in
maintaining the peace.
In a letter 10 Secretary of
State Byrnes, Vandenberg urged
that the President be required TO
obtain explicit congressional au-
thority TO use armed forces be-
yond minimum quotas agreed
upon by the United Nations.
Vandenberg suggested that the
American delegate on the security
council. which makes decisions on
using armed force to halt aggres-
sion, be nominated by the Presi-
dent and confirmed by the Senate.
The delegate. Vandenberg said,
should have the rank of an am
baSsador, thus making him the
agent of the President. The Pfesi-
dent. he added, should be required
to make annual reports 10 Con-
greSS. and special reports when he
instructs the American delegate
TO vote for use of armed force.
