TUESDAY, MAY is

TUESDAY, MAY is
This is an uncertain day in plane
tary government. Adverse aspects
dominate in the early hours.
HEART AND HOME
This is not a fortunate date for
women. The evening may be dis
appointing to girls who have social
engagements. There is sign sug-
costing that women pay special at
tention to their attire. Fluffy and
colorful gowns should replace uni
forms and Stacks when Servicemen
are welcomed home.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS
Despite high taxes many business
men will have large amounts of
money to invest in new postwar en-
terprises. This year is to be marked
by much commercial initiative, it is
forecast.
NATIONAL ISSUES
Astrologers point out that the
habit of constant discussion of ma
tional problems can be drawback
as we'll as AN advantage. Talk of
minority problems, they warn, in
creases race consciousness.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Final victory of the United Ma
tions will be SO tremendous as to
surpass the most optimistic hopes.
All the signs promise supreme
triumph through the summer.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a year of upheavals,
travels and changes that will prove
fortunate 1t will be wise to avoid
love affairs.
Children born on this day will be
able to attain happy careers. They
should be exceedingly bright and en-
ergetic, practical and good-natured.

BRITISH START BLOCKADE

President Roosevelt agreed. So
did the British And in the late
summer of 1887, the British actually
detailed six battleships, u cruisers
and 20 destroyers to leave British
home waters for Singapore Just at
that moment, however, the Axis
capitals apparently got wind Of
: what was happening, and Mussolini
started his unofficial submarine
campaign off the coast of Spain
which detained the British Fleet at
Gibraltar
A couple of months later, how
ever, Roosevelt revived the idea and
sent Norman Davis. late head of
the Red Cross, TO Brussels to a
meeting of the Nine-Power Pact
signatories called to protect China
from Japan. In the interim, Roose-
welt had delivered his famous Chi
cago Quarantine Speech. warning
that the United States might have
to help put quarantine around
an aggressor nation. This was part
of the build-up for Admiral Leahy's
plan TO quarantine Japan.
However, the Brussels Conference
fizzled-largely because OF sabotage
by the State Department in Wash
ington Norman Davis found every
move he made undermined by the
career diplomats in Washington,
some of them quite frankly believ-
ing that it was best to give the
Axis more rope. Ut is this same
group which now believes Germany
should be built up as a buffer
state against Russia
Part OF Norman Davis trouble
was also the isolationist press, led
by the Chicago Tribune and the
New York News, which kept ham
mering away at the idea that
Roosevelt was trying to get us into
war. (After Pearl Harbor, they
never remembered Roosevelts eff
forts to head off war and their
own sabotage of his efforts

cooperation with the British Fleet,
using the peace machinery of the
League of Nations and the Nine
Power Pact which guarantees the
sovereignty of China.
Leahy urged that by keeping the
U. S. Navy in the Philippines and
the British Fleet at Singapore, we
could cut off all OIL scrap lron
copper, cotton and other war ma
terials from Japan. Without these,
he argued, the japanese war ma
chine would be powerless and would
fold up in six months. Leahy
figured that the United States
would lose its gunboats on the
Yangtze River, but that aside from
this the main u S. Fleet would not
have to fire a shingle shot.

the late President Roosevelt's little

in HYDE Park, NY, Sunday, recall
ed to the writer an incident that

July.
The Presidents special train, en-
route from washington to San d.
ego, stopped for a few minutes IN
chicago during the convention.
The President did not alight from
the train and no one was supposed
to know that the chief executive
was on a trip West.
It was not until a neWspapernlah
recognized Fala as he was being leo
en- a leash through the railroad sta-
ton that word spread through the
convention hall that the President
was in Chicago that day.
Fala was constantly at Mr.. Roose-
velt's side in his world travels and
began living this week in New York,
a short distance from where his
distinguished master is buried.

Eats Sandwich In
Presence Of Thousands
On the evening of his nomination
he was very busy man, so busy, in
fact, that he had no time to go to
a cafe. His only food was a sand
wich which he ate while seated on
the rostrum waiting to deliver his
acceptance speech-and in full view
of $4,000 persons crowded into the
big, brilliantly lighted Chicago sta

him and extending congratulations
at his headquarters in the Sherman

ballot for vice-president it looked
like Henry Wallace was sure win

the hall that day carrying hundreds
of 1--WE Want Wallace banners.

After the convention recessed
and Wallace had failed to get a
majority on the first ballot, Truman
