USS Argonaut Now Is Avenged
Pearl Harbor, (INS)—The sinking of the United States submarine Argonaut by the Japanese in Southwest Pacific waters was avenged by American Sailors within two hours of the time that the Navy's largest undersea craft was sent to the bottom, it was revealed yesterday.
Details of the battle between the undersea craft and the convoy were given by Lt. Com. Leon J. Huffman, 44, of Tiffin, Ohio. He was Division Commander of the second American sub which sent the enemy transports under the waves.
The giant submarine went down southwest of New Britain Island while engaged in a mission against a Jap convoy heading for the large enemy base of Rabaul.
The swift revenge was exacted by a companion U S submarine which sank two large troop transports from the Jap convoy which was responsible for the loss of the 2,710-ton Argonaut and presumably her entire complement of 102 officers and men.
JOHN MOORE---
(continued from page four) long and Harry Wherry, usual high scoring forward but held to 8 points last night by Dwight Bartlett, sinking a set up began to pull up on the John Moore. With the score 15-12 the fast break combination of Borene and Bill Bartlett, Dwight's kid brother, clicked for six points, and Dwight Bartlett dropped in a couple of beautiful hook shots to put the John Moore ahead at the three-quarters mark 24-12.
Hellhounds Rally
With two minutes remaining and the score 29-19 fiery Vernon Roth teamed with seat forward Don Germann for the Co-op to rack up four points in addition to Bill Bartlett's beautiful long shot while the Hellhounds were chalking up two free shots to win going away 30-21.
And then in the last quarter Wherry and Unruh began hitting for the Hellhounds again and the John Moore boys with Heaston, Will Hiss, Bill Koontz, and Bill Bartlett controlling all the rebounds shot and shot with no results.
4. In last night's other games the speedy Battenfeld Hall five outlasted a determined Jolliffe Hall crew to win 29 to 26 in a game which was close all the way, and the 4-F squad forfeited to the Blanks.

ARMY CALL----
Cagers called for March 6 will miss only one Big Six basketball game, if they remain in school until that date. The Missouri University game at Columbia has been scheduled for the evening of March 6.
However, the loss of the men would seriously affect any Jayhawk chances of taking part in a post-season tournament, such as the NCAA affair to be held in New York this year.
The call of the six men had been expected for some time by University athletic officials. Other members of the army enlisted reserve are expected to receive their orders to report in the very near future, as well as members of the army air corps reserve.
Said Allen of the loss of the men:

Government Denies Rationing of Liquor
Washington (INS) — Joseph L Weiner, director of the Office of Civilian Supply, reiterated yesterday that the federal government has no intention or plans to ration liquor.
Rumors have been widespread recently that such a program was being prepared.
"In view of the nature of the article, I doubt if the federal government ever would want to step in," Mr. Weiner explained. "The rationing of liquor is tied up with local sentiment."
"If the state wants to enforce local prohibition, that is its affair. If it wants to let people drink, that also is its affair. The Office of Civilian Supply avoids acting as a censor on public tastes and habits."
Although many monopoly states already have instituted liquor rationing programs,Mr. Weiner previously estimated that there is sufficient liquid on hand to provide normal consumption for several years.
"The services know what they are doing. There is something much more important than basketball going on now."

Finland Considers Leaving Conflict
INDEPENDENT LAUNDRY AND DRY CLEANERS
New York, (INS) — Finland, apparently seriously considering withdrawing from the war, complained today in a radio broadcast that Russia has given her no specific conditions for discussing a peace treaty.
Call 432
Swedish and Finnish newspapers, quoted in Swedish radio broadcasts, pointed out that re-election of Finland's President Risto Ryti, does not necessarily mean that Finland will continue its past foreign policy.
The Finnish broadcast from the Lohte station, heard by US government monitors, said that "The Moscow radio, which continually advises Finland to make peace, has never once mentioned what conditions would make peace possible."
Pomona college in Claremont, Calif., will train 200 aviation cadets in a basic meteorological course.
Dr. Brenman Speaks On Hypno-Analysis
740 Vermont
Dr. Margaret Brenman, who received a doctor of psychology degree at the University last year, lectured yesterday at the meeting of the Psychology club.
Dr. Brennan discussed the experiments now going on at Menninger Clinic in Topeka to perfect "hypno-analysis," which, it is hoped, will be a cure for neurosis of returning soldiers. Mentally ill soldiers usually have either a form of hysteria from emotional conflicts and experiences or neurosis.
She explained that this new form of treatment, employing hypnosis in psychoanalysis will speed the cure. When psychoanalysis alone is used, the period of treatment takes a year or more. Now it is hoped that a cure can be affected in a few months.
Dr. Brenman showed that childhood experiences can be relieved in hypnosis to aid the psychiatrist in developing a cause for mental illness and consequently a cure. In showing the effects of this "hypnoanalysis" Dr. Brenman illustrated by examples from a case of a woman, who has physical disturbances as well as mental unbalance resulting from emotional conflicts.
