Business -Affairs: Shipbuilding will be widely pushed in the United States. The Navy continues under| a configuration presaging a ;mu! expansion, Many promotions of of- ficers are prognosticated. Transpo.- | tation by land and air also will be| recognized as of major 1mpormn'e‘ and whatever contributes to rapid communication will be recognized as part of the nation’s prepared- | ness program. Chances for busmr-&s‘ enterprises with small capital vullw be more numerous than they hd‘t‘ been in the past. National Issues: Secret agents subversive organizations will influence and make converts as the summer advances. Clas prejudices and race antagonisms will be fomented in cities east and west. There is a sign read as pres- aging violence, riots and property damage owing to political troubles. Labor unions are to contribute much to the success of a presiden- | of gain tial candidate who makes wno promises. Women are to be active as vote-getters, but few will be office-seekers. International Affairs: Japan con- tinues under a planetary rule that presages extreme economic strain which will not reduce the ambi- tion to assure a vast empire in the Orient. European alliances will aid in the extension of power in the Pacific and the United States will have reason to patrol the high seas in safeguarding the interests of democracy. Again surprise moves under arms are prognosticated. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good luck. It will be wise to follow in- tuitions. Hasty decisions should be avoided. Emotions may be easily stirred. Children born on this day prob- ably will be affectionate, talented and intuitive, They may be exceed- ingly sensitive and should be care- fully guided.
