BY the Associated Press.
MEMPHIS. Tenn. Aug. 3.-W. L.
(Wimp) Winsett, who five months
ago asked the public how a man
who had only few months to live
should spend his time, died yester-
day in a Memphis hospital.
Mr.. Winsett, 36-year>old auto
mechanic, had been told by his
physician that he had an incurable
disease and would live only a short
while.
Since that time, friends estimated,
some 1000 letters poured in to him
from all over the United States and
Canada-suggestions about hobbies,
religious tracts and appeals, gifts,
invitations to visit various parts of
the country. and even recommended
cures.
Less than two weeks ago Mr..
Winsett told a reporter: Tell all
my friends that I'm still kicking.
I haven't given up yet" Hospital
attendants said his courage and good
nature never lessened.
Mr.. Winsett was a native of
Bonneville, Miss, where funeral
services will be held today.

owl Observance
OF Atlantic Charter
Anniversary Aug. "a
Documents Scope Called
World. Wide; Concerns
Existence of All

The Once of War Information
today suggested that August IA be
observed throughout the Nation as
Charter Day"-the first anniver-
sary of the signing of the Atlantic
Charter by President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill.
TT Is a good time to dispel any
idea that may still exist that the
Atlantic Charter does not apply to
the Eastern nations" Elmer Davis,
director of owl, said in memo
randum to the press. I'm fact, OF
course, the Atlantic Charter is
worldwide in scope" He added
THE Atlantic Charter, setting
forth the principles for which we are
fighting and formally adopted by the
% United Nations, is one of the most
important documents of this war.
But because the charter was ex-
pressed in general terms, its signifi-
cahce to the everyday lives of all of
us in the postwar world has not yet
been fully realized.
THE ONCE of War Information
feels that August IA is a good time
to bring home to the American peo-
pie what the charter means in con-
crete terms, to the average man"
The charater contains eight
points, which, in substance, set
forth these four basic objectives:
/. Abandonment of force, aggres-
sion and territorial aggrandizement
by all nations.
2. Self-determinAtion Of peoples
regarding their own form of govern.
menc.
3. Equal access for all peoples te
raw materials: full economic collab-
Grafton and freedom of the seas.
4. The guaranteeing to every hu.
man being everywhere of freedom
from want and freedom from fear.
The charter was one of the con-
sequences OF the sea meeting of Mr.
Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill.

Masked Gunman Kill,
2P|aying Bridge in
New York Club
Betting c Commissioner,
Minor Gambler Victims:
Slayer Escapes
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-As they
sat in shirtsleeves playing quiet
game of bridge, a big-shot
Broadway betting commissioner
and a small-time crook and gam
bier were shot to death early to-
day by masked gunman who
escaped.
Scene of the double staying was
the White House Bridge Associ-
atoms clubrooms, few blocks north
of Times Square and just block
and half from where an even
bigger gambler-Arnold Rothstein-
met his death in like fashion IA
years ago.. Rothstein's Staying never
has been solved.
One of the victims of today's gun
fire was Robert B. Greene, 40, who
accepted bets on practically any
thing, and who was a partner of
Sam Boston, once linked with his
brother, Meyer Boston, to the mys-
terious Rothstein case as material
witness.
The other was Morris Wolenski, A,
also known to police and Broadway's S
questionable characters as "Dimples'
Wolen, whose petty crimes ranged
from window breaking in East Bos-
ton, Mass, to the theft of an auto
mobile in New York City.
Everything happened so fast
hardly saw the gunman," Police In
spector Conrad Rothengast quoted
Club Manager Sam Adelman as say
ing.
Greene was facing the door Of the
clubrooms on the second floor of the
building at 846 Seventh avenue
when, Adelman said, the snout of a
revolver appeared in the doorway
just of the stair landing.
Six shots sounded in rapid sue
cession and the two victims slumped
to the foor-Greene with bullet
wounds in the back and forearm and
"Dimples" with a slug behind the
right ear. The gunman raced down.
stairs to the street without having
uttered word during the brief and
deadly affair
Two other players and a fifth man
who had been "kibitzing" the game
waited a moment and then fed the
clubrooms, Adelman said.

Confused Nazis Fiqht
Own Men Along Coast
As British Look On
English and Enemy Clash
In Ninth ChunneI Bottle
In Three Weeks
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Aug. 3.-Swift British
motor boats dashed across the
Channel Saturday night and, defy
ing German shore defenses at close
range, sank two German motor
torpedo boats of Cherbourg in the
ninth sea fight along the jittery
invasion coast in less than three
weeks. -.--..
The foray, it was said in official
quarters, so confused the Germans
that the Nazi naval units shot at
their own torpedo boats, and Ger
man shore batteries also started
firing at their own seamen.

the show.
Other Vessels Damaged.
The British said two more of the
Nazi light motor torpedo vessels, or
"E-boats," were damaged and two
larger 600-ton torpedo vessels were
hit.
(The German version, as told
by Berlin broadcasts, was that
German outpost boats encoun-
tered British speedboats and
gunboats, and that in the ensu-
ing action two British speedboats
probably were destroyed, and
hits were observed on other
craft" According to German
broadcasts the Nazi forces suf-
fered no damage)
Official British sources refused
to disclose whether the recent fare

Veto Acceptance
By Congress Seen

Assurance on Use
Of Farm SurpIuses
b, the Associated Press.

Congressional leaders indicated
today that the House and Sen
ate would accept an expected
veto of legislation creating a
separate grain rubber agency if
President Roosevelt gave salts
factory assurance that the prod
ucts Of farm and forest would be
fully utilized in the synthetic
program.
Lacking such an assurance. they
said, Congress might override the
Chief Executives objections.
The veto, forecast last week by
the President himself, was expected
to reach the Senate today. Original
sponsors of the bill were Senators

Wheeler Democrat, of Montana)
and Norris Independent, of Ne
braska). Although Majority Leader
Barkley went on record against it,
and War Production Chief Donald
Nelson opposed it in committee, the
bill passed easily.
Farm Bloc Complaints.
Senator Gillette and others have
complained repeatedly that most of
the synthetic rubber production has
been allocated to petroleum inter-
ests, although they contend the rub
Der can be made cheaper and
quicker from alcohol derived from
farm crops.

corn, wheat, wood pulp and various
vegetable products can be con-
verted into grain alcohol and then
into butadiene-principal compo-
nent OF buna S synthetic rubber
farm bloc leaders have protested the
War Production Boards allotment
to alcohol processes of only one
fourth of the planned 100000 tons
per year of synthetic rubber.
They also have objected to the
WPB's distribution of the 200 600
tons to be produced from grain
alcohol, saying that it has gone
TO large existing distilleries. AS
Serting this practice will delay the
program and result In transporta-
ton difficulties. several farm Con-
