friends and business associates.
President Roosevelt and Edward p.

ton.
Even after becoming an out
standing business success, DR.. Gibbs
confessed nostalgia for newspaper
work which sprang from having
worked on his fathers small paper.
In the years of his afluence, he sat-
isfied his early wanderlust by long
voyages about the world, poking
into Mayan ruins in Yucatan and
strolling around the Latin quarter
of Paris.
DR.. Gibbs. who accumulated great
wealth as the result of his success
full venture into the drug business,
gave large sums to charity, accord
ing to his associates. Most Of his
benefactions were quietly bestowed,
but he is known to have been
substantial contributor to the Police
Boys Club and the Masonic Home
for Children.
Board to Choose Successor.
Selection of q new chairman of
the board for the Peoples Drug
Stores, one Of DR.. Gibbs associates
said today, will await action by the

Tribute to DR.. Gibbs was paid by
DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin. president of
George Washington University, in
the following statement:
THE university and the commu-
nifty as a whole have suffered
great loss in the death OF Malcolm
G. Gibbs. He was a loyal friend of
the university and its school Of
pharmacy, from which he graduated
In 1902. For some year DR.. Gibbs
had been instrumental, through the
Peoples Drug Stores, Inc, in pro-
viding a number of scholarships in

measures "for the security Of the
continent"
The German Transocean news
agency, a powerful Nazi propaganda
arm, has been notified to wind up
its affairs in Argentina by January
81, and it was believed that the pro-
Axis afternoon newspaper Pampero,
served by Transocean and often said
to be maintained by the German
Embassy, might close at the same
time.
One question which is expected to
be settled quickly Is who will han
die Argentine interests in Germany
and Japan. The newspaper Noticias
Graficas said last night 1t probably
would be Sweden, although Switzer-
land and Spain were other possibin-
ties.
The effects OF the diplomatic
break on the Argentine financial
world still were uncertain, but the
first reaction on the Stock Exchange
was favorable. Clients were hasten
ing to withdraw accounts from Ger
man banks.
Buenos Aires generally seemed
happy over the government action,
although most persons expressed
curiosity over details of the spy
story which caused the rupture.
Argentine newspapers, released to
some extent from strict censorship
rules which prohibited criticism of
belligerents, turned to with q will
yesterday and printed reports Of
German espionage and propaganda
activities.
A leading afternoon newspaper,
Critica, promptly got itself in trou-
BILE with an editorial in an II told

had often called attention to activi-
ties Of Nazi agents. It was sus-
pended, for three days by govern

NURSE SHORTAGE
HELD ACUTE HERE

The shortage of private duty
nurses in the city Is continuing to
grow more acute, survey revealed
yesterday, in spite Of severe restric-
tons placed on their use by hospit-
ais and physicians.
The shortage is attributed to the
continuing flow of nurses into the
armed services and to retirements
from nursing because Of marriages.
In addition, some nurses are declin-
ing to accept duty on many types
of serious cases, and also are limit
ing their duty to daytime hours,
thus aggravating the shortage Of
nurses at night.
Dr.. A. A. johnson, president of the
Waterbury Medical association,
secuted any hope of relief in the
situation declaring, We've reached
the bottom of the barrel here and
I don't know where we can find any
