A parade of last-fiing drivers will jam the nations highways over the Fourth of July, the National Safety Council predicted today.
 The Council believes that the threat of nationwide gasoline ra- tioning, plus the long holiday weekend, will prompt motorists by the thousands to make the trip to Aunt Minnie's, to visit the boy in camp, or to see Susie's new baby while they still have the chance.
 Added to these last-fiing pleas ure drivers will be a legion of war plant workers who will stay on the job this Fourth of July, many of whom will be driving to and from work.
 Contrary to general expecta- tions, the best result will be 6 traffic. volume only slightly less than in normal years, in the Councils opinion.
 Backing up It's prediction, the Council is launching nation wide campaign against accidents that will result from the heavy traffic and other recreational ac- tivities. The need for @ safe cele- bration of the Fourth is especial ly acute this year, since every ac- cident wastes manpower, time and material vital to victory.
 The council urges motorists to foreRo all unnecessary driving over the holiday as patriotic way oi cooperating in the governments program to conserve tires and re- lieve congestion.

ARGENTINE SHIP
 AGAIN TORPEDOED
Third Merchant Ship Is Hit a Few Days After Nazis
 Had ApOlOgized

Buenos Aires, June 23-(UP)- The torpedoing of a third Argentine merchant ship a few days after Germany had apologized for the second, made the governments ef- fort to maintain a policy of strict neutrality more difficult today.
 Argentina and Chile are the only two American republics maintain ing diplomatic relations with the Axis.
 The navy ministry announced that the freighter Rio Tercero had been torpedoed and sunk 120 miles off New York harbor early Monday morning. Like the other two Ar genuine ships torpedoed, she was brightly lighted and displayed the Argentine colors in token of this country's neutrality. The United States Navy saved the crew of 40 which was believed en route to a United States port. The Rio Ter cero sailed from New York Sunday.
 The new attack seemed to give impetus to critics of the govern ment policy, particularly in con- gress, which complain that the Axis has no intention of respecting Ar sentina's neutral rights. A large section of the chamber of deputies, perhaps a majority, is in disagree ment.
 "The excuses Germany offered the Argentine government for the s. &. Victoria torpedoing are now shown to have been insincere," the news paper La Critica said in a front page editorial today. "They were not an expression of sentiment but a mere formula without the least significance. The sinking of the Rio Tercero is a real demonstration Of the deepest sorrow with which Germany apologized for the attack on the S. s. Victoria"
 Did Not Sink
 The Victoria, a tanker, was tor pedoed April IT of the United States coast but did not sink. Last week Germany apologized, saying 1t had been a mistake, and promised to pay indemnity. The texts of the Ar genuine protest and the Germany apology were not made public. The first Argentine ship torpedoed by the Axis was the s. s. Uruguay which was sunk early in l040 of Portugal The Axis assured Argentina that that too had been a mistake.
 The Rio Tercero was of 4,684 tons She was formerly the Italian freighter Fortunstella, having been purchased by the Argentine govern ment in l941. She had taken refuge in an Argentine port when Italy entered the war.
 The Germans could not plead VI. olation of their blockade-whict they formally have announced al including all the North Atlantic ocean from Europe to North Amer
