Astroloeers Say N ext War Due in 1860

Columbus, O., Aug. 16-(UP)- The American Federation of As- trologers held a convention to- day, and decided:
 Current high prices will con- tinue for two years because Sa- turn is flirting around with Leo.
 The British Empire will face another severe trial in l946, be- cause by that time Saturn will desert Leo for Sagittarius.
 President Truman will be stronger politically in 1948 than he was in 1944 because his sun then will move to mid-heaven.
 Telling of things to come were Edith L. Scott of Los Angeles, Cal, and Ernie A. Grant, Wash ington, D. C., executive secretary of the group headed by President Keye Lloyd, Chicago.
 The next war, or real danger period" as Miss Scott and Grant termed it, will some in 1860, ac- cording to the stars.
 Saturn rules the bridge be- tween Europe and Asia and that will be the boiling pot of the next war; Miss Scott said.
 But we can relax for the pres ent about any Russian moves, she added.
 Russia is having internal troubles at the present time that will delay her aggressiveness and preparations" she said.
 Although we're astrologically not playing ball with Russia" " she added, there will be no im- mediate international conflict"

By MARIANNE PACHNER

Cleveland, O., Aug. 16 (NEA)-It's sad to report, but the fact is the Jehovah's Witnesses, those 800, GOO people throughout the country who are so tmbued with the peaceful ways of humanity that they refused to bear arms during two wars, are now fighting among themselves. Even as you and and Congress.
 Politics reared its cumulative head at their recent convention here. There were sharp words and dirty looks. And several of the embattled brethern were given the old heaVe- ho by the leaders of the Glad Ma tions Assembly. Whereupon the dis gruntled ones promptly equipped themselves with signs and picketed meeting of 5000 more tractable Witnesses at the Cleveland Stadium. Even as you and I and John l., Lewis
 Witnesses are supposed to follow scriptural teachings to the letter. They refuse to salute the flag as a "graven image attack organized religion because of it's worldly hier- archies, are convinced that Arma- geddon is just around the corner.
 They have faced mob violence and imprisonment as conscientious objectors and as practitioners Of street-corner evangelism in this country; many have seen the in sides of concentration camps abroad. Their numbers increase yearly and they are now spreading the Word in 28 countries throughout the world as an outgrowth of a small sect started about 1876.

MiIIionoires Dominate COP,
 Mccormick Says

Springfield, IL, Aug. 16-UP)- Col. Robert R. Mccormick, editor and publisher of the Chicago Trib- une, charged today that in most eastern states the Republican Party was dominated by "money-mad millionaires' who nom Il a e d Thomas E. Dewey and Wendell Willkie ito prevent the election of Republican president"
 Mccormick delivered the key note address at the Illinois St" te Fair Republican Day.
 We know that the Communist dominated FAC. controls h e Democratic Party" he said. Ut is equally true that money-mad mill lionaires dominate the Republican Party in most of the eastern states.
 "They are fertile in expedients which was shown by the nomina- ton of Wenedell Willkie and Dewey, nominations made to pre- vent the election of Republican president.
 They think they can bring about the nomination of another rene gade westerner by soaring us with the atom bomb, by employing preachers and hyprocisy and by po- litical manipulation"
 Later, he identified Harold E.. Stassen, former Minnesota gover- nor as the renegade westerner" to whom he referred in his ad- dress.

C.I.O.A Hack Of Prices

Washington. Aug. Is = (UP) = The CI.O. today demanded that the Government roll back runaway prices within the next 30 days or revise it's wage stabilization pro- gram to take into account living cost increases in the past six months.
 A report submitted to the nation- al C.I.O. emergency conference on wages and prices said we cannot accept a situation in which wages are frozen while the cost of living soarS.'
 It did not reveal what action the CI.O. planed if its demand went unheeded But it's biggest unions have contracts which may be re- opened on wages, thus raising the possibility of strike threats to en- force any eW demands.
 "Labor's acceptance of any form Of wage stabilization is possible only If there is an immediate rollback of food prices and an administration of the president price control act which will produce a maximum con- trol of all prices" the report said.
 Asserting that the future of wage stabilization will be decided in the next 30 days, the report said if prices continue to rise, the pressure of rising prices will sweep away the entire wage stabiliza tion program" ,"
 The convention of C.IO. leaders will act later today on resolutions on prices and wages formally enun- ciating CIO. policy.

WAA Gift OfAirfieId Is Probed
 Oklahoma SoIon
 Raises Inquiry
 For House Group

Washington, Aug. 16- CUP) A special House investigat ting commit tee asked officials of the War Assets Administration today whether they gave an airfield to an organization established to train American bus mess men for foreign trade.
 The question was raised by Rep. Ross Ridley (R.-Okla.), a commit tee member, who said he had been informed that the field was "sold" to the American Institute for For eign Trade for S407 900. But, he added, he had been told that the price was discounted 100 percent.
 If the price was discounted 100 percent, then it must have been a gift" Ridley said. T do not know whether that is true but I certain ly believe we should find out"
 Field In Arizona
 The field to which he referred is Thunderbird Auxiliary Field No. l at Glendale, Ariz, which was used during the war for pilot training. The American. Institute for Foreign Trade has been described to the committee as non-profit organ ization.
 The committee turned it's inves- tigation to international aspects of the war surplus property disposal program after citing Benjamin F. Fields, ex-convict and Washington contract "expediter," for contempt. He had failed to produce records subpoenaed by the committee.
 Chairman Roger c. Slaughter SD.-Mo) said that no further at tempt would be made to obtain the records.
 Up To US. District Attorney
 "The committee has gone as far as it can," he said. Tt is now up to the U. S. district attorney"
 The committee still sought for questioning Glenn A. Dies and John F. Brunner, two of Fields former associates. Dies reportedly is in Honolulu and Brunner has dropped out of sight.
 The committee, meanwhile. in- vestigated whether the WAA vio- lated the law in granting priorities for the purchase of surplus war materials to II international organ- 1zationS. They include the United Nations, UN.R.R.A. and the Inter- national Labor Office.

Supersonie Missile Made; Like Rocket

Seattle, Aug. 16-CUP)-A super sonic missile capable of destroying aircraft laden with A-bombS and other destructive weapons has been developed, Boeing Aircraft and Air Force officials announced today.
 Officials said the defense weapons were pilotless craft. Sixty of the missiles" will be launched this year in testing operations on the Great Salt Desert of Utah.
 A joint statement by Boeing and the Army did not disclose how the rockets would be fired.
 While the announcement contain ed no specific reference to atom bombs, it said the project was de- veloped for defense purposes only in the event of future hostilitieS
 First models of the new missile were powered by standard aero-jet rocket units and in models now un- der construction a booster power unit is attached to the tail of the pilotless craft which accelerates the missile to supersonic speeds in few seconds.
 The missiles were described as pencil-thin, 10-foot rockets capable of travelling at aerial-destroying speeds.

Life Of Welded Bliss
 Had With Truck Driuer
BY ROBERT RICHARDS

New York, Aug. 16- (UP)- If you're looking for life of welded bliss, kiss the playboys good bye and marry a truck driver.
 The bigger his truck, and the dirtier he gets, the better for your marriage.
 We pass this advice along for free from the lips of Harold Nelson, head of Nelson's Detective Agency in Manhattan.
 Nelson ought to know. He spends a great part of his time chasing er- ring husbands.
 And truck drivers, or factory workers, are by far the best bets for a woman" he said. We seldom ever have to go tailing one of them"
 Husbands most likely to stray are successful businessmen, or salesmen
 "A truck driver comes home" Nel- son explained, "and he's too tired to go running around. He's sWeaty, or dirty, so he has to sit down and take off his clothes,
 Before he can get up and run out

Jehouah Witnesses Fight SeLues Ouer Worldliness

Society handles all earthly dealings for the movement, including most of it's publishing While worldly pos sessions are decried for individual members, the Society owns two buildings valued at more than a million dollars in Brooklyn, N. Y, as well as two farms in New York State. It buys expensive radio time, pays high-priced attorney fees when it's members get into trouble.
 Dissenting members feel that the whole thing has become too worldly.
 M. P. Fogh of Cheyenne, Wyo., one of the leading rebels" who has been pioneer field-worker for 20 years. explains that a tight little governing body of appointed administrators of Gods rule on earth (the Theocratic tate) is run ming things entirely its own way. He says that no criticism is tolerat- ed, that much is kept secret includ- ing the bookkeeping.
 Why, no one even knows who the editor of the Watchtower is," he complains. The WatchtoWer, a semi-monthly magazine, Is the of ficial mouthpiece.
 Don't misunderstood us" says Roy D. Goodrich of Ft. Lauder dale, Fla, who has devoted all his time to the movement since 1913 We have no fault to find with what they say when they quote Scripture. It's just that they don't practice what they preach"
 In addition, these old-timers claim that Witnesses -w who are supposed merely to reveal" the light-are now being encouraged to actively convert.
 The dissatisfied brethren-most of them enthusiastic workers in the movement for many years-are try ing to show other Witnesses how they have fallen victim to the very demons the Bible warns about. It's tough assignment. The Society has discredited them and they have been physically attacked by mobs of the faithful |
 Guards have been placed at all entrances to the 120-acre trailer park. established for convention attending Witnesses, to keep the rebels from distributing their liter ature. Goodrich had his hat knocked off, a carrying bag torn from his shoulders, and his litera- ture stolen when he attempted to explain the set-up as he saw it.
 All the while they were cry ing, "A rope! A rope for Judas! finally had to call on police man for help" he said.

 This genial robber and killer, whom I have described in previous Chicago "reminiscences, was power full but short and muScle-bound. He got his nickname because in his early fights he would put down his head, rush in and butt to the mid- riff, usually knocking his man cold,

 T meant it, too-then," he told me later. You see, I drilled a tunnel in guy big enough so he could drive his own hearse trough 1t. An what made it bad was-it was Christmas Eve.
 "A stick-up, yeh. But this lug wouldn't keep his mitts in the air How could l tell what he was gonna do? It was, to all extentS an pur- poses shootin' In self-defense.

 Men are men, Nelson believes. no matter what their work, and they're pretty much all alike.
 But the truck driver behaves bet ter, because he doesn't have as much. time to run around as the salesmen," ]" he explained.
 NelsonS business is running full speed ahead in this postwar world. Tt looks like more men are step ping out than ever before" he said. His chief difficulty is to keep the angry wife from running up and slugglng her husband With a chair, when she and Nelson trail the poor guy with his blond lovely into some restaurant.
 Feels Sorry
 Nelson is a gentle man, and he almost always feels sorry for the badgered hubby.
 T never advise divorce" he ex- plained, and my cases quite often don't end in the courts. If it's the first time the guy slipped, and the wife asks my advice, I always tell her, take it easy and think of the children
 Truck drivers or saleSmen, he gives them the same treatment. After we catch the guy having dinner with his girl" Nelson said, T tell the wife to go in and say, John, will you come outside-I want to talk to you
 Then she turns to the babe at the table and says, I know you won't mind. This is my husband
 Once outside, the wife turns to her husband and says:
 Well, John, know all about it." After that, he either comes home like good boy, or he jumps through the window.
