Slattery is anxious to have enlisted men remain in the Navy and recently suppressed an issue of the base newspaper “Banana Peel- ings” because it contained opinions by men and junior officers against remaining in the Navy. It now develops that Capt. Slat- tery has other reasons besides air- plane pleasure-rides for liking the Nayy. He also has had the use of an ‘athletic specialist as a glorified nursemaid to take care of his chil- dren Athletic specialists are generally| used for rehabilitating veterans who have suffered loss of le; or arms. But Capt. Slattery used 2-c Athletic Specialist Robert Beal to take care of his two sons all sum- mer. Now that school has started, athlete Beal works only half-time.| However, he is on call by the captain either morning or after- noon which means that he is prac- tically on full time call. Beal has at his disposal a pick-up truck on “which he has a No. 1 priority. Also at the children’s disposal are the facilities of the boat house and the rifle range where the athletic specialist takes them shooting If other Navy: men could get similar privileges perhaps they'd stay in the Navy too. . LA : WHY MEN LEAVE NAVY Worried about ‘the failure of men | and officers to remain in the Navy, Secretary of the Navy Forrestal recently put out an order to Naval| separation centers to interview the next 100 reserve officers who came up for discharge. The result showed bitter resentment cn the | of reserve officers against the An- napolis clique. Here are some in- terviews quoted verbatim: | *“The only reason I would join the Navy again would be if I werel starving.’ “It's mighty late for the Navy try to sell itself to reservists.” “I think the officers of the regu- to lar Navy are grasping, pushing and $elf-centered.” 4 “fThe attitude of the m ty of Apnapolis officers to reservists Hag: they are to be endured onl for the time being ' “The Annapolis gre wuld cast asifle their childish attitude.’ Perhaps the bitterest comment came from a reserve officer who in civilian life had been a profes- sor at the University of Nor Carolina. When interviewed by the discharge office s to what he thought of the Navy, he replied #One skipper, a regular Navy officer, was drunk and missed his 'ship. 1 was forced to take the ship into battle. Was anything done to him? No. He was an Annapolis graduate.” EXIT HAPPY CHANDLER Pown in Kentucky, politicians have been on edge for weeks wait- ing for Senator Happy Chandler to gesign from the U.

Children born on this day will re- quire wise training; they will ex- pect the most of life and may be (given to constant demands. MONDAY, OCTOBER 29 This is not an important day in planetary government. It is auspic- jous for finishing business projects or negotiations. Final windups of war contracts are under good dir- ection of the stars. HEART AND HOME In the home, work relating to re- pairs or refurnishing should be successful under this configuration. Plans for the future are under a promising sway. College girls should specialize in vocations; most women will now follow wage-earning careers after marriage. BUSINESS AFFAIRS Records of the war just ended will show large savings of workers who received good wages. The seers predict that there will be a much lighter relief load due to unemploy- ment than experts estimated. NATIONAL ISSUES In the greatest era of world his tory the United States finds itself the strongest power on the globe and must accept gigantic responsibilities. Those who criticize the Government for its generosity to nations most ravaged by long conflict are blinded | by a corrupting selfishness, the seers warn. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Transatlantic and transpacific travel will continue to be heavy as thousands of American civilians are Our tech-| sent to Europe and Asia. nical and professional experts will contribute greatly to the rapid re- covery of devastated countries. China may suffer from a cholera epidemic. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury ‘of a year of perplexing changes. Novel occupations will be profitable. Children born on this day will be affectionate and attractive, but pos- itive to the point of stubbornness. They will have unusual talents.
