End of The ArgOnaut
(New York Times

tNew York Times
 The Argonaut is the sixth and largest American submarine lost in the war Most missing undersea boats disappear in an endless silence. The Shark Perch and Grcnion went that way. But we know how the Argonaut met her end She went down fighting and she avenged.
 A flier perhaps spottng victim for the Ameri- can craft brings back the story. The Argonaut was stalking Japanese convoy off New Britain Island It must have been important convoy for it's three large transports guarded by six destroyers and an air escort. The submerged Argonaut sent tor- pedo into of the destroyers cripplng it.. But the five others closed in and their depth charges brought the big submarine to the surface at an angle steep she had chance to her sixinch deck guns The fate of Commander Pierce and his l05 shipmates was sealed by enemy broadsdes. But the convoy did not escape. Two hours later just outside Rabau Harbor it's observers failed to note the periscope of another American submarine. Two of the three transports went to the bottom.
 This glimpse of action indicates that we are carrying our submarine operations close to the strongest enemy bases Six months ago it Japa- nese submarines, penetrating waters which we were supposed to control that sank the carrier Wasp off Guadalcanal Now it is undersea craft that patrol and imperil the approaches to Rabaul 600 miles to the north. But the risks heavy. The Argonaut not ordinary submarine. She was a 700 ton vessel mine layer as well as torpedo carrier She probably ranked the worlds largest submarine after France lost the 4,300-ton Surcouf in the Atlantic. Yet new submarines are coming down ways faster than losing old ones. Thus far the stands at 31 Japanese ships cer tainly destroyed and others damaged, for every sub marine of ours the enemy has sunk.

Baseball and the War
Philadelphia Record


 Ty Cobb is right when he says that all sports should be discontinued if they interfere with the war.
 But Rogers Hornsby, now general manager of the Fort Worth Cats, is right, too, when he smacks club moguls who talk about manpower but have their eye on money.
 Hornsby criticzing owners of the Texas League clubs. They complained the league couldn't operate this year unless they received a guarantee from the War Manpower Commission that baseball will be considered essential. f3
 Club owners Hornsby says, should take chance like any other busnessmen-play ball long they can without talk of quitting
 That's the right attitude We believe baseball and other sports have place in our national life in wartime. We agree with the Government that no one man in baseball be considered essential There now more than 200 major league players in the armed forces by draft or enlistment, and they are all-star assortment
 There are lot of reporters and pressmen in the Army, too. But newspapers come out.
 Baseball management should do it's best to keep national sport alive-even if it will cost them a few extra dollars

FOURTH TERM SUGGESTION

Take good care of yourself, Mir. President" said Mrs. Miller of Pehnsylvania. "The party will need you next year"
 This was the first fourth term suggestion, but it got no reaction from anyone present. The Presi- dent then proceeded to take the ball and run with it. The meeting lasted AS minutes. during which he talked practically all the time. He cut the ground partly out from under his belligerent visitors by saying that he. knew appointments under Leon Henderson and the Of flee of Price Administration had been reprehensible. In fact, he cas- tiEated Henderson in such a way as to indicate that Henderson would never come back. He told how Hen dcrson had appointed the treasur- CT of the Republican State Com mittee of Georgia, Harry Sommers, as chief of OPAs Rationing Divis- ion in Georgia and how another prominent Republican, Oscar R. Strauss. of Atlanta, was in charge of OPA's Southeastern office.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
Sunday. March IA

f5enefic aspects appear to dosnin- ate in a day of unimportant plan ttayy government. In the morning there is an ill omen for shipping.
 HEART AND HOME: Good news in the form of letters may be ex- pactad under this sway. This is a day in which to reach mental bel ance in which the mind shuts out what is disturbing. It is a fairly favorable configuration and is es- to make new contacts and is es- pecially promising to girls who meet strange young men. Interess in church-going will be manifested by young and old as spiritual forcea gain ascendancy. New organizations of great aims will supplement the work of Christian nominations.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Favorable signs are read as benefiting all the news services which will contribute greatly in promoting high ideals for postwar international relations. Heroism of correspondents sent to battle fronts will receive wide re- cognition. Prosperity should mark the next few weeks here in the United States. Agriculture will prof it under latest Government cooper ation. Members of Congress former ly supporting the farm bloc will concur in practical measures to as- sure the most food possible for next Winter. 4o@asi |
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Doubtsp de- lays and uncertainties reacting up- on our war plans may be attributed to the effects of Mercury. The plan- ct, retrograde three times in 1943 will incline toward static conditions in projects upon which victory de- pends to a large extent. Since this l is the peoples war individuals should realize that each man oI woman bears a tremendous re- sponsibility. All destructive or dis couraging ideas must be overcome by determined discipline of the mind which easily reflects sinister suggestions.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Although the transits of 1943 anc ls44 presage supreme difficulties certain aspects give promise of g settlement of the Irish question which has constantly harassed tht British government. Signs read a. favorable seem to presage revi. sion or even a scrapping of thu Anglo-Eire treaty and then De Val. era might be succeeded by leader in sympathy with modern aims 0, the United Nations.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good in. come but care should be exercised in all investments.

have battled will be established as the result of war emergencies, astrol- ogers predict. Legislation that will officially recognize the modern sta- us of women will be passed so that old-time determinations will be erased from law records. In view of postwar problems in the estab- lishment of millions of young men in gainful occupations, the compe- tition of women is to be a serious issue, it is prognosticated.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR s: Astrologers announce that, owing to the influence of Saturn in oppo- sition to the New Moon of this month in the horoscope of General Franco, they foresee in this and other planetary influences the end of the Spanish dictator's regime. This year is to be most critical for the unfortunate people who have not recovered from recent civil war ravages. Hunger and disease are in dicated as Spring advances.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of fair suc- cess in civil or military matters Women should be fortunate in their finances.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be fortunate in their her itage of health and intelligence Energy and ambition will assure unusual success.

Monday, March IS
 Benefic aspects rule int what is an unimportant day in panetary government. It is a fortunate sway for leaders in business and govern ment.
 HEART AND HOME: Aged per- sons should benefit under this con- figuration. There is a sign read as presaging for persons of the older generation extremes of acti- vity or inactivity. Many will work at abandoned trades or professions while others will; dwell alone, aloof from the busy world. Among the many social changes will be the isolation of mothers or grand mothers who are widows after mid de age. Instead of sharing the homes of their descendants they win have the privilege of pleasant solitude which enables them to de- veicp spiritually and relieves them oi small cares.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: This is a lucky day for initiative. Projects started under this configuration should be profitable. Labor is vel
 directed so that strikes or walk outs will be fewer. In the future cooperation between employers ane employees will be so complete that practical partnerships will evolve

they could then leave this bill Of complaint with him.
 So the bill of complaint was drafted. It began with this sen tence Jimmy Noe says that the party is in hell of mess Then for three pages. single-spaced. it proceeded to detail the woes of the party, casting vitriolic con- demnation on Harry Hopkins, Madame Secretary Perkins, Gov. Rex Tugwell of Puerto Rico, Sec retary of Agriculture Wickard, Gov ernor of the Farm Credit Admin istration Black and others. It was proposed that all of them be fired immediately.
 During these discussions, McHale of Indiana, referred to Secretary Wickard as cheap" He said he had gone to school with Wickard and he didn't know where the President got the idea to bring him to Washington and have him attempt to control food
 He doesn't even know his way around Indiana" was McHale's cryptic remark.
 When the delegation finally got to the White House, bearing thei, bill of complaints, they filed past the Presidents desk and he shook hands with each.
 You are shaking hands with thf next Governor of Louisiana" saic Noe.

 That is problem" the Presi- dent admitted, "but this is wartime and we have got to use Republi- cans as well as Democrats" He promised, however, that he would look into the matter further.
 PREDICT BRICKER FOR COP
 There were some further discus sions, during which it was agfeed that Gov. Bricker, of Ohio, was pretty sure to be the Republican candidate, and during which part of the political discontent was blamed on OPA rationing Tie President seemed to think that the country would have to take ra- tioning in it's stride regardless of political consequences,
