Lucille Ball
Plays toGIs
HOLLYWOOD. Jan. 20

HOLLI WOOD, Jan. ~
I UCILLE BALL, the fiery
IA haired film star, has turned
the tables. Instead of beginning
with vaudeville. as many stars
have done, Lucille Is climaxing
her film successes with a three
a-day vaudeville stunt.
The only difference in
LucilIe's show is that no pay
ing customers see her kick up
her heels. give out with song
and crack jokes.
Her show is a musical comedy
written especially for army and
navy convalescents. It's given
at service hospitals, mostly in a
150-mile radius of Hollywood
because her acting chores in
M-G-Ms Without Love" keep
her from camps farther away.
The whole idea started last
summer Lucille explained,
when her husband, Sgt. Desi
Arnaz, former actor, was
handed the S ig n m ent of
staging a show at Camp Arling-
tin, near Riverside, Cal.

Embargo Will Have
Little Effect on
Washington

A mixture of natural and manu-
factured gas, which comes under the
WPB ban, is used in the Washington
area.
A check of local amusement places
showed:
Theaters-Do not use gas for any
purpose and are, therefore, not af-
fected.
Night clubs-Few, if any. use gas
for heating. Many use gas for
cooking.
Robert J. Wilson. executive secre-
tary of the Washington Restaurant
Association, said, however, that
night clubs in Washington are COM
PEELED by ABC Board regulations to
qualify as restaurants rather than
as places of amusement. He said
he had been informed by the WIPE
that today's embargo does not apply
to restaurants.
Todays embargo followed a warn
ing by the gas company of a critical
shortage of natural gas and that
unless the strictest conservation is
practiced whole sections of the city
might be without gas.

Army Combat Losses
Now Put at 650,420
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
American combat casualties since
Pearl Harbor neared the three
quarter million mark today, with
disclosure that Army losses have
reached 650,420.
The Army's total, plus the latest
Navy figure of 86,922, puts the over
all combat casualty figure at 737,-
342, an increase of 35,392 over last
weeks report. The Army accounted
for 80, ,469 of the rise.
Acting Secretary of War Robert
P. Patterson said the Army's figure
was based on compilations made at
the War Department through Janu-
ary 81 and reflected actual fighting
through most of December. This
would cover the first two weeks of
the German counteroffensive in the
Ardennes.
A breakdown on this weeks Army
figures with those for last week fol-
lows:
Killed, 121, ,676 and 117,256; wound
ed, 379,638 and 356,813; missing, 91,-
573 and >85. .450; prisoners, 1888 and
57,432. Mr.. Patterson said 86,026 of
the wounded have returned to duty
Similar figures for the Navy:
Killed, 32,889 and 32,394; wounded
39,807 and 38,513 Missing, 9,750 and
9,615: prisoners, 4,476 and 4,477. The
decrease in the prisoner category
apparently represents a shifting to
other classifications.

should take steps to prevent its be-
ing sold at auction"

Its just plain gambling game,
he added "All auctions smell, and
those where there are sealed bids
are worse"
Mr.. Safer, who said he bought
and sold surpluses under the name
of A. g. B. Surplus Co., took the
stand after testimony yesterday that

chairman of the New York Racing
Commission, wrote former Secretary
