And it would be hard to find any American, from the Presi- dent down, who would say publicly that he does believe in “outbreaks of violence” and in race riots Nevertheless, we do need to be reminded of this AUGUST 7 Hallie Rice Drs.

Big riots are always preceded by little ones, L had products or animals which they intended to exhibit. A ROADABLE PLANE? The trend of present planning for post-war aviation whirls more and more around a cheap, easy to handle plane as available to Americans as the automobile was before the war. Albert A. Volimecke, chief of the aircraft en- gineering division of the Civil Aeronautics Authority, believes that all aircraft companies are designmg} post-war private’' planes because it is thought that' only by making the product available to more people, encouraging volume of production, can the present manufacturing investments be saved for much use. Although the largest aircraft concerns are not as fnterested in publicizing their research in pos'.-wari design, smaller companies have discussed their blue- | prints, One plant is trying to lower the engine eost of » family plane from $5 a horsepower to $2.50. Another laboratory is interested in a ‘“roadable” plane, a moderate-performance family plane of rock- bottom cost. This plane, a combination of automo- bile and, airplane, would have a cruising speed in the alr of about 100 miles an hour. It would be tailless, four-wheeled and have its engine located in the rear. According’ to one idea, the “roadable” plane would possess folding wings; according to another, detachable wings, to be checked at the airport, be- | fore motoring into town. Research in the “road- able” represents the general attempt to incrense} utility of the airplane, hence widen its market and | thereby decrease its sales price. Another means of popularizing the airplane, be- sides increasing its usefulness, is to make it radically easier to fly. Experiments under way on an airplane in which control of throttle, stick and rudder would | be combined in one control lever. Movement of this | lever would control take-off, cruising and landing, thus greatly simplifying the piloting. For cross-country air commerce stemming into the main continental and international airways, new feeder-line transport aircraft is being designed. Such aircraft may be smaller than present domestic- {little riots by chronic squabbling and frictien, and all of them come out of attitudes which in the be- ginning may not be violent at all. remember that there are no degrees of citizenship in this country. We can find our friends and asso- ciates where we like, but we can’t deny to anyone a civic right we claim for ourselves. If e civic rights are cheerfully granted, if equality of opportunity is generally recognized, if we measure our fellows by character and ability, if we refuse to be badgered into suspecting or disliking whole groups of people |for no reason or for foolish reasons, we will be doing our loyal part to help our country and discourage our country’s enemies. This is a job we can each work at every day. If we work at it faithfully enough there won't be race riots. Put Hitler's Intuition on Allied Payroll (Philadelphia Record) (The Inspired) Hitler has a new ouija Adolf board. (Had the United Nations, particularly Russia, known he was in the market, they would have been overjoyed to make him a present of the best one money could buy.) Adolf and his slightly battered intuition again have displaced the generals and are master-minding the Wehrmacht’s summer drive on the Eastern front, | according to London reports. We can think of no better fortune—for our side. In 1941, and again in 1942, Hitler and his arm- chair muse took over on that same front. Two years ago, Hitler embarked on an abortive drive for Mos- cow against the advice of his generals. Last sum- mer, he again ignored his generals, harked with both ears to an inner voice and led his armies to the greatest defeat of the war—before Stalingrad. He lost. upward of 350,000 men, and set the stage for a destructive Russian counter-offensive. Now Hitler is back in the saddle again in the East. London reports he took over from Marshal Gunther von Kluge in the Kursk bulge sector on July 8, three days after the German offensive started. With the big Nazi drive only 11 days old, it is stalled. This is a tribute to the fighting qualities and the growing strength of the Russians Successively each year the Soviets have stopped | the Nazi-hordes in shorter tim. It is no tribute to Hitler's generalship. In the earlier days of the war, his intuition worked. Because he couldn’t have guessed wrong. He had oyerwhelming strength. The picture is very different today. The power of German arms is waning. The Rus- slans sap the striking power of Hitler's legions. The Fuehrer’s continental fortress is besieged. ~Sicily is being swept by Allied arms. Adolf’s ' intuition?

The labor vote will be courted in certain quarters, astrologers forecast, but it will not al | !be unified for a Presidential candir| .date. Wendell Willkie is to gain |greatly in popularity but his stars |appear to indicate postponement or ‘even frustration of political umbi-1 | tions. | INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: |Famine and pestilence in countries |occupied by Nazis will cause a | heavy death rate among the unfor- itunate people who await the vic- |tories of United Nations. Help will come to a few this month owing to secret cooperation with the Al- ilies. Astrologers again stress the significance of signs indicating revolutionary impulses. The effects lof certain aspects upon all nations will stimulate groups toward dar- (ing feats of heroism. Death is to |strike two or more men who have been high in the favor of Euro- pean dictators, it is prophesied. Persons whose birthdate 1t is have the augury of a year of more than average good fortune and hap- piness. They should avoid extrava- gance.

HEART AND HOME: This should be a fortunate date for women who have the forecast of great public service this month. New leaders in wuniform and in club organizations will demonstrate their outstanding ability in public service. Although girls will be stirred with ambition to succeed in careers or in war work they will be susceptible “to romance. Wed- dings by the thousand will mark the next few weeks, despite nation- al contern regarding critical war phases. | 'BUSINESS LFFAIRS: Under this configuration executives may meet with many obstacles that delay careful procedure. In factories ac- cidents may be more. numerous than usual. The trend of business today gives assurance of muchearly fall trade. Stocks will - fluctuate sharply, it is indicated, with high- er average levels than in 1939. Ar- gentine bonds will reflect the con- ns in.the South American re- public where readjustments in Government matters will affect se- curities for some time. NATIONAL ISSUES: Certain boards and bureaus in Washington, D. €, will be severely criticized regarding policies and jurisdiction. Simplification of Government ma- chinery will be insistently advocat- ed. Reduction of civilian personnel will continue to be demanded by thinking citizens whose practical ‘business experience causes them to resent waste of man and woman power. There is a sign that fore- casts. agitation regarding Govern- ment economy. Demand that the inances shall be managed as if they were private :bnnk accounts will be widespread, the seers prophesy. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: As the might of United Nations |slowly has concentrated for this summer's campaigns Axis powers have devised methods of betraying; one another, if the stars are right- ly read. Aspects encouraging cow- ardice are read as presaging de- | sertion from Hitler as his destiny unfolds and his complete defeat is inevitable. Japan will be especially cunning and treacherous in meth- ods of escaping from the responsi- bility, of Axis membership and will be able to extend conflict after Germany has been forced to sur- render. Persons whose birthdate it is have *the augury of a year in which they may undergo tests of courage. Tact and patience will| count for much in money transac-| tions. - Happiness in love affairs is/ indicated. Children born on this day prob- ably will be impetuous and self- willed but talented and generous. Self control should be one of the first lessons. { (Copyright, 1943) — - TIDES TOMORROW | DES TOMORRO Low tide—0:18 a.m, 28 feet. High tide—6:11 am., 126 feet. Low tide—12:21 pm., 3.1 feet.
