Walter WincheII In Nezo York

He loved Adolph Ocl1S, the I late boss of 1t, and it was Aces argument that the Times switch was an offense to his memory.
 Another of his hates was . N. Y. mag editor .. He and the ed were mates on Q servicemeI's newspaper in France during the las war {. Woollcott contributed to the mag in its early days when he was c cele- brated writer, and that mag was only a hop or two ahead of the sheriff Later, when tho mag got into the blue chips, 1t published everything 1t knew about him, much of its condolences he told the edi- tor when they were pals He divorced 1t at once and evelled mat ters one evening in "21" when the hateful editor tried Co make peace with him Are you still Sore2" the mag man asked hjU in front of several mutual friends T could write 6 honey about you" said Woollcott, land you know itl I could start by telling what you did to soandso and reveal what happened over at soandso's (naming people -dates-and so forth) and after I told all of that could tell the world about the time you (deleted because this newspaper isn't explosion proof) DO YOU WANT ME TO GO ON FROM TFiERE??" The editor, witnesses swear, fled in terror and has been in a:-d out of the hospital five times since that episode -suf- fering from the horrors.
 When he first went on the air he requested that this writer introduce him Tn an interview he was asked what newspapers he read. He replied that he confined his news paper reading to "the two Walters -Lippmann and Winchell. They tell me all l need to know about what is going on in the world" The first time I saw him (when was starting to cover plays) I went up to him between acts and said q thought your piece Sunday was wonderful" Walking away he said: Don't be a borel" .. I hated him for years for 1t Critic Rich- ard watts of the Trib to whom once told that, said "Eze did the same to mel" When we finally met, he gave me many delightful uuips and stories nearly every week They made filling many a column easier wish he was writing play reviews again They were always more entertain ing than any show he covered even the hits. ...
 The Times summed up his, life handsomely in it's farewell: "Alexal1- der Wollcott occupied unique posi- ton on the New York scene. Through a long apprenticeship as reporter, dramatic critic, soldier, lec- turer, essayist and actor, he gradu- ally perfected himself for the role that the magic of radio would open for him--that of first raconteur and gossip"

 In announcing the new policy McNutt said the list of non- -defer- rable occupations and industries "is only the beginning" and will be ex- tended and amended from time tc time.
 McNutt's new figures on prcpor. tions of men to be in the services were brought out in committed questioning on on overall Sederal education program which the man. power commission 1s evolving with the army and navy.
 Only the physically handicapped and the over.aged in the occupa- tions and industries listed will De deferrable after April 1. But those affected will have until May l to shift to an occupation essential to the war effort. These occupations were previously listed by the WING in directives affecting 36 industries.
 The edict amounts to a work for the war-effort-or.t light" order, although McNutt at . press confee- ence, called to explain 1t, declined to call 1t that.
 McNutt said that most defeSments to date had been on grounds of de- pendency.
 Dependency Is an important fac- tor, but, to justify its acceptance as a ground for deferment, @ worker v.AaSe% Aleo AA SaA0 1pNSAoa a acc s.Na on the home front" he said.
 Selective Service Director Lewis B. Hershey, in a directive to local draft boards, said: There is c con- tinuing need for men for the armed forces and the supply of physically qualified men Is definitely limited and must, to Q large degree, be rec served for the armed forces" The only exception, Hershey said. must be where the demands of war pro- duction, agriculture and other es- sential activities require occupa. tional deferment.

 McNutt said that it was not the first move to persuade" men to gel into essential war occupations, a, that work had been going on in the field "for some time". He said the new orders to draft boards woulc help those agencies who have beer attempting to foster transfers from non essential to essential activities
 McNutt emphasized that every ef fort would be made by the U. B Employment Service to assist mel seeking jobs in essential activities but warned that those who are no in those activities by May l woult be "out of luck" He was unablA to forecast when new lists of non essential jobs would .e posted.

| Marines Replaced
Only After $50
Days of Action
BY he Associated Press.

EN he Associated Press.
Marines who knocked the Japa
nese away from Henderson Airfield
then Waged campaign of elimina-
ton against enemy forces in the
lungleS on Guadalcanal, are headed
for a rest after spending more time
in battle than any other unit of
American troops in recent history.
They leaped from their landing
bargeS onto the narrow beaches Of
Guadalcanal on August 7, wrested
the partially completed airfield from
its japanese builders and pushed the
enemy back into the jungle.
Just when they were relieved can
not be stated but they had been
moving out of the Solomons in small
groups for nearly month prior to
the disclosure yesterday that most
Marines have been replaced by Army
troops.
On January five months after
their landing - they had been in
continuous, 24-hour day action
for more than $50 days. Navy Off
cialS said they were certain that set
a record for continuous t-line
duty, though available records listed
the First Division in France as hsv-
ing had 223 DAYS in the front line
in the last war They said the
First had short training period
and other respites from 24-hour-a-
day duty.

Mr.. Nelson and Mr.. Ickes, it was
reported, recently came to grips
| over the distribution of power in
Northern California. This occurred
/ when WPB halted insta llation of
power equipment at the new Shasta
Dam, one of the Reclamation Bu-
reau's many power and irriga ton
projects in the West.
WPB contended that sufficient
power for the area could be sup
piled by q privately owned plant
| established on the Pit River in
California by the Pacific Gas &,
/ Electric Co. That led Mr.. Ickes to
accuse WPB of favoring private
power interests over public power
The conflict, it was understood,
was taken to the White House
where WPB's views In the matter
were upheld.

Questions Foirness
Of Senate Units BIust
At Previous Program
BY the Associated Press.

BY he Associated Press.
Chairman Donald NJ Nelson of
the War Production Board has au-
thorized a 80 per cent increase in
production Of farm machinery and
in an explanatory statement ques-
toned the fairness of a Senate COM
mittee's criticism OF the previous
program
The WPB action was announced
last night. 1t increases from l37 900
to 1000 tons the allotment of steel
for farm equipment in the first
quarter of this year. Production of
repair parts at rate of l67 per cent
of 1910 production previously was
approved.
He did not think IL fair" Mr..
Nelson said, Ito criticize the Office
of Civilian Supply fer not having
acted in June in the light Of a situ-
alton which did not develop until
long after the 1943 farm equipment
program was formulated"
He said the 1943 program when
formulated last June was sound in
the light of the need for offensive
weapons then prevailing" but that
conditions had changed
WPB, he said, had given "contin-
uous and careful study" to the
farmers needs and last October in
creased the steel allotment for farm
equipment from 10000 tons to
178000 tons for the last quarter of
1912 on insistence of the OCS.
A few hours before WPB acted the
Senate War Investigating Com
mittee had reported to the Senate
that the Office of Civilian Supply
"gambled dangerously and unwisely
with our Nations food supply" by
rejecting Agriculture Department
/ recommendations and approving a
smaller program of farm machinery
production.
/ Alluding TO a growing shortage Of
/ farm labor, the committee said If
the farmer loses his labor and at
the same time is deprived of the
[ machine tools which he needs to
/ produce his crops, his plight will
be desperate"
Mr.. Nelson asserted that WPB
had given continuous and careful
study" to the equipment needs of
