For Hitler Is a believer in astrology and is declared to consult astrologers astrolo-gers before he makes any major moves. The Balkans Even before the first of March, Hitler had gained the success he planned In the Balkans. The final moves may come In March, but the path of the army was paved by earlier ear-lier diplomatic move's. Rumania was the highway and Josef Stalin fired the starting gun. Deserted by its protectors, Bulgaria Bul-garia gave way to the Germans who had placed 600,000 soldiers on her border with Rumania. Bulgaria had been promised the help of Turkey, pro-British ally. And Turkey based its security on the promises of help from Russia. But Russia collapsed again. It notified Bulgaria to expect no help from Soviet troops and it Influenced Turkey also to withdraw Its promises to Bulgaria. Jugoslavia, Jugo-slavia, surrounded on all sides, saw its ministers called to Munich and receive orders. All this to get to plucky Greece. Greece, despite its army's victories over the Italians, saw its neighbors fall before the Nazi threat. It had a choice of making a futile effort to fight Germany alone, or to capitulate capit-ulate like all the rest. Greece was given little time to decide. de-cide. A German ultimatum was drafted. Resistance means that the nation would be the battleground. of German and BritisB armies provided provid-ed the British could, in sufficient time, extract troops from the African Afri-can front and convoy them to the Balkans.

Defense Surveys have begun in the war department with a view of expanding expand-ing the army to more than 3,000,000 men in case of emergency. It is hoped to be able to be accomplished the next year if necessary. Sites for additional camps are now being quietly surveyed all over the country. Production plans are being revised to reach this end and congress con-gress has been asked for some of the preliminary funds. What the army hopes to realize is the ability to put 55 divisions into the field instead of the 27 which will be in camps on June 1 of this year. To reach this it is possible that the present National Guard units will be held in the federal army for another year and that many of the selectees now going to camps also will be retained. The latter go on reserve immediately upon completion of their training and can be recalled as needed to fill the requirements of the standing armed forces. In the near future President Roosevelt likely will present to congress con-gress a $3,000,000,000 program toward to-ward this end. Equipment Meanwhile the first flow of supplies sup-plies are beginning to reach the armed forces. The army air corps , a, ' - I win CHARLESTON, S. C.-The V.

In Latin America- iof , J "ys 11411 iftf or-rh ed clreie s bi Mex-Icp' Mex-Icp' City discussed a sensational re-port6f re-port6f a '.Nazi Fifth' Column ring Which was said to be ' operating from " the Canadian ' border to the Capef Good Hope.1 'The ring was declared to be directed from Philadelphia.1'111 Phila-delphia.1'111 Mexican circles, describing the alleged al-leged conspiracy, said it was a preliminary pre-liminary step in Nazi efforts to gain economic control of the Western hemisphere. The plot was said also to engage Communists and Spanish Falangistas as well as Japanese agents, and the objective to be sabotaging sabo-taging of U. S. aid to Britain, blocking block-ing the American defense plans and antagonism against the United States to some of the Latin American Ameri-can countries. For weeks there has been evidence evi-dence of increased pro-Axis activity to Mexico. Several pro-Nazi publications publi-cations have appeared. Ships arriving ar-riving from Japan have unloaded numerous Germans. Propaganda has been aimed at creating suspicion suspi-cion on the United States' good neighbor policy, and at a whispering campaign that the U. S. would drag Mexico into war. President Manuel Avila Camacho often has expressed his friendship for the United States and his dislike dis-like for totalitarian policies. Just a few days before news of the alleged ring was made public he submitted to a special session of the Mexican congress a bill which would reopen the rich Mexican oil resources to private exploitation. The bill apparently ap-parently would clear the way for resumption of operations by U. S., British and Dutch companies expropriated expro-priated to 1938. The government, however, would participate to the control. 'Bugs' at Capitol J cm er m K m '.-. a x atot B H I I i'mi The U.

TRAVELERS: Home Again Wendell L. Willkie and Harry Hopkins, former secretary of commerce, com-merce, came home from war-torn Britain to make reports to the President Pres-ident and congress. Hopkins data were secret, Willkie spoke to congress. con-gress. But Willkie's suggestion that the United States make available to Britain 5 to 10 destroyers a month met with opposition. First objection objec-tion came from Naval Secretary Knox who said the United States could not spare any more ships without with-out unbalancing the fleet. There was Indication, however, that Willkie's proposal would be given more than casual consideration once the previsions pre-visions of the lend-lease bill are under un-der way. Meanwhile Willkie revealed he may make another journey of inspection. in-spection. This time he may go to the war front in Asia, visiting Gen. Chiang Kai-shek in China. Two other American representatives representa-tives were waiting for the opportune oppor-tune moment to fly to Britain. They are John C. Winant, the newly appointed ap-pointed ambassador, and C. Avrell Harriman, who was named by the President to the task of co-ordinating the British aid-program. Harriman Harri-man Is the son of E. H. Harriman, one of the nation's greatest railroad builders. MIGRATION: Men at Work For the first time in more than a decade unemployment in the United States has virtually been wiped out. William T. Livingston, economist of the Alexander Hamilton institute, reported after a nation-wide survey. Livingston estimated the total employment em-ployment now nears 50,000,000, a record high, more than 4,000,000 above the 1929 peak. By comparing census figures, social so-cial security records and relief totals, to-tals, he estimated that there are now but 1,669,000 men without jobs. He pointed out however, there always al-ways is a number of persons who are temporarily out of work as the result of changing jobs, and seasonal factors. New Problem High officials of the American Federation of Labor, however, expressed ex-pressed concern over another problemthe prob-lemthe thousands of men who have been shifted around the country coun-try to meet defense needs. They feared many of these might soon again find themselves unemployed and far away from home. More than 300,000 of these men are engaged in the building trades, erecting cantonments. Much of this work may be finished by early March. Concentrations of men in many of these communities has also increased in-creased the health hazard, since the small communities around camps and defense industries are unable to furnish homes and adequate food supplies.

While the senate Is preparing to enact the lend-lease bill committing this country to vast outlays for Great Britain, certain American firms are paying out hundreds hun-dreds of dollars monthly to Germany Ger-many and Italy, which funds are being used to fight both the United States and Britain. This secret Axis aid is being delivered de-livered in the form of royalty payments pay-ments on industrial formulas, trademarks, trade-marks, copyrights and patents. The money is paid in dollars and is deposited de-posited to German and Italian accounts ac-counts in New York banks. The Justice department, which has conducted a secret investigation has uncovered these interesting facts: 1. That the royalty payments are now running around $500,000 a month, of which Germany gets at least 80 per cent. 2. That a considerable portion of the money was used by Germany last year to buy U. S. goods for delivery de-livery to Latin American buyers, to make good on contracts that Germany Ger-many confidently had signed after the fall of France but was unable to AIL because of the unshaken British Brit-ish blockade. 3. That Nazi and Fascist agents have drawn on the funds to finance racial and anti-defense propaganda in this country; also anti-American propaganda in South America. 4. That while U. S. firms fork over their tribute in dollars, such royalties as Germany and Italy pay are in the form of blocked marks and export lira; that is, money that can be spent only in Germany or Italy. Actually, the money levy is a secondary sec-ondary consideration. What really worries the authorities is how much vital military production information these royalty agreements betray to the Axis. Since most royalties on patents are paid according to the number of units sold, it should be a simple matter for the Axis to obtain detailed de-tailed figures on types and rate of flow of important materials to the U. S. army and navy and to Britain. Last year the justice department de-partment cracked down on Bausch and Lomb when it discovered that under a secret royalty agreement the firm supplied the German licensor licen-sor with a detailed accounting of certain instruments delivered to the navy. . WILLKIE RATES CHURCHILL OVER F. D. Wendell Willkie went all-out for the President's lend-lease bill, but personally he doesn't like Mr. Roosevelt any better than before. Willkie made this clear to friends following his conference at the White House. Winston Churchill, he indicated, had it all over Roosevelt in ability and personality, was "much simpler and more direct in manner." "There isn't anyone in America quite like Churchill," Willkie said. "He was the most congenial companion com-panion I've met in a very long time. He has a gay buoyancy that is to-comparable." to-comparable." Willkie also told his friends that he had absolutely no intention of taking a job under Roosevelt "The President hasn't offered me anything," he said, "and I hope he doesn't because I'll turn it down. One thing I don't want is an appointive ap-pointive office. If war should come I will enlist in the armed forces, but I'm not taking a government job." Willkie is still undecided what he will do, but is leaning toward a return re-turn to law. He has been offered a number of lucrative positions, one carrying a salary of $120,000 a year. NEW FARM BOARD After many years of supporting the New Deal farm program, the powerful Farm Bureau federation wants to set up a new government farm agency which it would largely dominate. In backstage congressional conversations, con-versations, the farm leaders have proposed that the AAA, the soil conservation con-servation service and the farm security se-curity administration be taken away from the department of agriculture and be made a completely separata sepa-rata agency. Then they want a five-man five-man board to run these important bureaus. Naturally, they expect to have a goodly representation of members on ihat board. So far, Vice President Henry Wallace Wal-lace and Secretary of Agriculture Wickard are vigorously opposed. So also is the President Note Herbert Hoover established a famous farm board to buy wheat It was a mess. MERRY-GO-ROUND Elder Statesman ex-Senator King of Utah is being promoted by friends to become a commissioner of the District of Columbia.
