 However. he lacked just one thing-enough personal prestige to buck Roosevelt. After a short time in North Africa, Wilson saw that de Gaulle would have to be recog- nized. But FDR was opposed. When Wilson couldn't put across this basic point, he felt it was useless to return to North Africa.

to a recent court decision, the money pays for uniforms which are needed in his work is deductble item on his income tax.
 The U S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals made this ruling in San Francisco recently after a test case was brought by the Collector of Internal Revenue in the case of a California highway patrolman who deducted SIP from his gross income uniform expense The Internal Revenue Office charged that the uniform item should have been personal expense The court said that persons required to uniforms exclusively the job could count the expense as deductibe.
 This ought make lot of Army and Navy men happy, even though they don't have to file return until after the war.
 Speaking of uniforms, sometimes they don't mean as much We have in mind the case of young naval officer who after having ship sunk out from under him. spending several days raft and several weeks in a hospital, was assigned to shore duty in Seattle for year His wife happened to be there and they started to look for house It seems that 'VD card is required to rent most houses in Seattle now and only essential" workers get these cards Officials told the Navy he couldn't get a card thereby practically telling him he wasn't essential" The story has happy ending however His wife went to work for a Seattle newspaper was declared essential" and got her card and they found a house She worked" three days to get the card then quit because she is expectant mother Which just goes to show how silly the whole thing is.

BOETTIGER WATCHES POLITICS

Most people didn't know 1t, but Boettiger, despite his army uni form, sat in on the famous White House dinner just before the Chi cago convention in July, where Mayor Kelly of Chicago, Mayor Hague of Jersey City, Postmaster General Walker and Chairman Bob Hannegan persuaded FDR to shelve Henry Wallace and take Harry Truman for Vice President.
 Boettiger, still in the Army, keeps out of the limelight, isn't seen much around Washington, but is very much in the inner councils of his father-in-l Jaw, especially when it comes to Italian Government prob lens. Here his advice counts as much or more than the State De- partment's.
 For years, the President cher ished the idea that one of his sons might work with him at the White House. For a while. eldest son Jimmy did come down from Cam bridge to act as Administrative Assistant to the President without salary But Jimmy had other in- terests, including beautiful nurse he met at the Mayo Clinic, who later became Mrs. Jimmy. So he left for Hollywood.
 Later, Franklin Jr., while study ing law at the University of Vir- giniA was around the White House frequently.
 Now all four boys are in the armed services and the President has fallen back on his daughter, who perhaps even more than Jimmy, always has been the apple of his eye.

NEGRO TROOPS OKD

Members of the Mississippi Con- gressional delegation met last week to welcome one of their states war heroes Ut. Van T. Barfoot of Car thage, Miss, who has been awarded the Medal of Honor, the Silver Star, the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart A soft-spoken lad who had never been out of Mis- sissippi before entering the Army, It. Barfoot fought with distinction in Africa, Sicily and Italy.
 A little embarrassed at being surrounded by Congressman, Bar foot told some of his experiences in combat and tried to answer questions. One of them finally came from Senator Theodore (Ihe Man Bilbo on his favorite subject.
 It." Bilbo asked, did you have much trouble with Negroes over there?'
 Bilbo was set back on his heels when the Lieutenant drawled:
 MT. Senator, I found out after I did some fightin' in this war the colored boys fight just as good as the white boys. l have changed my ideas a lot about colored people since I got into this war, and so have a lot of other boys from the South. We've found the colored boys all right"
 Then It. Barfoot quietly volun- teered this information:
 Coming up to Washington on the train I went into the diner and found it full. The waiter told me Id have to wait, but I could see behind a little curtain, a colored Army Captain sitting at table by himself. I said, Whats wrong with that table?' The steward told

MONDAY. JANUARY 22

This is not an important day i'll planetary direction. There is a sign read as promising for United Ma tions' Naval movements.
 HEART AND HOME: Letters of good cheer are indicated Good news from war fronts will bring joy to the family circle. The stars presage the need of long continued work in the industries on which our armies depend
 BUSINESS FFAIRS: This should be a fairly active week for business. Production of all war ma- terials will be increased under pres sure of expanding needs. mclina- tion of workers to seek permanent jobs, before the return of soldiers causes competition for desirable po- sitions, will subside under the urge of public sentiment.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Much con- flict of opinion is presaged tn re- gard to extending national hospi- tality to refugees from Europe in postwar days There are certain signs that indicate a great influx of settlers, despite certain Govern ment restrictions.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS. Jerusalem is to be much in the headlines before the end of the winter, it is prognosticated. The ancient city is to focus world at tention and to be conspicious in events that touch every nation.

Benefic aspects dominate slightly today. An omen for labor presages possible drafting for war work.
 HEART AND HOME: Women of all ages are under favorable plane tary influences today. The trend toward religious observance will be definite as spiritual awareness leads to desire for development of the higher powers of humanity.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: In all planning for lasting peace the de- ciding force in many international problems will be worldwide com mercial interests. There is a sign that warns of serious difficulties regarding tariffs and trade bal anceS.
 1 NATIONAL ISSUES: Race pre- iudices must be overcome in the United States now if the nation i is to maintain a reputation for true democracy. The seerS warn that the peoples of foreign lands will judge our much vaunted free dom and liberal principles by our application of them in everyday associations.
