The MedicOs

l. TIC N1CulSOS
Ye old scribe is happy to report
this week that the NEEDLES are
strictly on the beam. and from all
outlooks is going to stay there
Besides carrying out a full train
ing program with much gusto and
grunting, we found time to organ
ize a basketball team be invited
to a very private and exclusive
party, make several promotions IN
the ranks, and still take care Of
the health and generl welfare OF
our COMBAT Team.
When Sgt, Coffey and Sgt. Web
ster, playing with the civilian ALI
Stars, got trounced to the tune of
about 81 to %; they got mad (the
miscreants behind the lop-sided
score being the fast breaking,
sharp shooting quint from Phil
ander-Smith College,. so Messrs,
Coffey and Webster sent an emer-
geney call to the 37lst NEEDLES to
organize team and avenge their
humiliation. About fifteen NEEDLES
promptly answered the call and re-
ported for try outs, Outstanding
among those trying out were Pies
Otis Jackson, King s. Owens, An
derson Walker, James Thomson,
Wallace Whittaker,( and Lloyd
Lear. Mr.. Butler Of the USO has
promised to arrange for a game
with the Philander Smith Cagers
in the near future. but until that
time, the Medics will take on any
and all Corners.
The charming ladies Of Philand-
er Smith gave an exclusive party
for the NEEDLES at the USO Mon
day, the IS, but it Was the wrong
night as we had to prepare for a
full field inspection the next day
and couldn't 60 to town. However
several Medics went down to ex-
plain why we were indisposed; and
bmid tears and heartbreak, the
birls promised that there were no
hard feelings, and that there would
be another day We sincerely APP
preciate what the girls tried to do
for us, and assure them that duty
to our country (plus a few Army
Regulations) was the only thing
that kept us from enjoying their
hospitality.
Following the promotions Of
Cpls Bolster, Grow, and Dray to
Sergeants a short while ago, 80
Pies We're made this week and
two Sergeants Technicians. The
Sgts being, Sgt. Henry Hamlin
Registered Pharmicist) and Sgt.
John Metz. Registered Chiropid-
ist); both Of whom have heen do

Sgt. Carel Barber, after 10 months
service, jumped from Cpl. to Sgt
to S. Sgt. in period of about two
weeks, and shows promise of being
one of the hest NCO's in the Med

simply on Argentina's adherence to
the Pan-American solidarity agree
ment, it was stated.
Brazil was understood to be play
ing a leading role in negotiations
which are expected to bring about
the break. Foreign Minister Os-
waldo Aranha, this source said, has
been communicating with Argen-
tine President Pedro Ramirez
through the Brazilian ambassador
in BuenoS Aires.
HUI UNIFORMED
AT the same time, it was believed
that Aranha was working closely
with Jefferson Caffrey, United
States ambassador to Brazil. in the
discussions. 1t was considered likely
that Secretary of State Cordell
Hull had received first-hand in
formation on the situation when he
passed through Natal recently on
his way to the tri-partite con-
ference in Moscow.
Aranha and Caffrey flew to Natal
to confer with Hull, and were
scheduled to return to Rio De
Janeiro late yesterday.

.dew Cut in West
Gasoline Supply
Forseer by owl
Military Uses 80 Per
Cent of Nations Oil
Production, More Later

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.
(UP)-The Office of War
Information warned civil
ians today that the gasoline
drought would be prolonged
and increasingly severe because the
military machine is now gobbling
up 60 per cent of all oil supplies and
is expected to ta.ie 36 per cent in
1910 and 20 per cent in 1945.
The rlost immediate effect, the
Owl indicated, would be felt on the
west coast where Forthcoming
Pacific war demands" will bring
more severe rationing. Only two
days ago the west coast suffered
a cut from four to three gallons in
ration values of A, B. and G COUP
ons due to rapidly increasing naval
demands.
Not only will there be less gas
oline but quality will became pro-
gressively poorer as the military
machine siphons off the higher
octane gas for the planes, tanks and
mechanical equipment OF its gl-
gantic armored forces OWA said.
MILITARY GETS GAS
However, in spite of demands de-
scribed as unprecedented even in
modern warfare" the government
has met military demands fully,
and maintained essential civilian
transportation - though at times
with difficulty and some inqual-
tiles.
The Owls story, which spelled
gloom for motorists, but far worse
news for Germany ard Japan, was
contained in a 10,000-word report
on the gasoline situation prepared
in conjunction with all the agencies
concerned with oil in an apparent
effort to avoid the confusion of

Chairman Tom Connally, D., Tex,
said the resolution was approved by
all seven subcommittee members
present. But Sen. Robert M. La

illness, was recorded as voting
against this or any other resolution
at this time.
The proposed resolution:

Cooperation and conciliation had

a substantial achievement toward

Connally said the resolution will

Argentine Break
With Axis Near

RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. IS CUP
= An Argentine diplomatic break
with the Axis that would close the
entire western Hemisphere to
enemy listening posts was reported
imminent today.
An unimpeachable diplomatic
source told the United Press that
preliminary steps leading toward
the break already have been COM
pleted and that the formal sever
ance of relations probably will be
announced within the next two
weeks.
The return of American AmbaS-
Sador Norman Armour to Buenos
Aires and Adrian Escobar's ap-
pointment as Argentine envoy to
Washington were linked by this
source to the impending break.
CORRECT BALANCES
One immediate consequence of
the move, this source said, is likely
to be American financial aid to
Argentina in some form that would
correct certain unfavorable balances
in Argentina's foreign trade.
The diplomatic break will be based

In Washington it was announced
that President Roosevelt, Prime

troops, he said, had compelled some
Italian units to disarm and had

of the Germans in Catania and said
the actions of the German troops
in Naples surpassed every limit of
the human imagination"
Shoulder to shoulder we must

the United States, of Great Britain,
of Russia and of all the other
United Nations" Badoglio's proc

Badoglio sent a note to Gen.
