LONG LIST

If Mr.. Roosevelt becomes con-
WINGED that Wallace cannot be re-
nominated and delays too long in
showing his choice, this convention
may up and give him an unwelcome
partner. But that is not in the
Roosevelt tradition. The list OF po-
tential nominees pending some eX-
pression.cf White House preference
is so long as to be tedious. How
ever, here are some of them: War
Mobilization Director James F.
Byrnes. Gov. Robert S. Kerr. OF
Oklahoma: Senator Harry S. Tru-
man. Missouri; Senator Alben w.
Barley, Kentucky; Associate jus
tice william O. Douglas Senator
Scott w. Lucas. Illinois. Senator
Samuel D. Jackson indiana Speak
er Sam Rayburn. of Texas; Gov.
J. NJ. Broughton. of North Caro-
lima: Senator Ebert d. Thomas,
Utah. Undersecretary CT State Ed
ward r. StettiniuS Jr., New York
John G.. Winant. who formerly was
governor of New Hampshire and
now is ambassador to Great Britain
and. if the convention got entirely
out of hand. Senator Willard F..
Tydings, Maryland; Senator Harry
F.. Byrd, Virginia. or any one of Il
dozen anti-New Dealers.
Interest in the vice-presidential
nomination is not generated merely
by the fact that it is the only real
contest p -nding here. Both sid lie.
are vitality concerned because n
Presid5 Mt may die in office.

|G.R.S. SEARCHES FOR U. s. DEAD IN
 TUNISIA HILLS

Gafsa, Tlnisia, Feb. l6-(UP)-A grim little band of American troops has been proving through the mined and booby-trapped Tunisian hills to locate isolated graves of doughboys who were buried hastily on the battlefield.
 The bodies are being transferred to ever-growing American military cemetries sprinkled across Tunisia.
 Exploding mines have wounded several of the searchers, but they have brought in scores of bodies that otherwise might never have been recovered.
 "It's easy enough to locate the plainly ly-marked graves" said one of the Graves Registration workers, Sgt. Donald McHenry, a stage actor from New York city. But a lot of Americans were buried by Arabs who stripped their bodies of their clothes before burial. The Arabs didn't mark the graves-and don't like to tell where they placed the bodies"
 McHenry, however, has won the Arabs confidence by giving them cigarettes and candy, and by doing his best to carry on friendly chats in pidgin French,
 Finally an Arab will admit he knows where one American is bur- ied," said McHenry, "but when we get to the burial place, there will be several bodies. And when an Arab is convinced that I'm not going to shoot him for stealing, he suddenly [ remembers where there are other graves"
 Although the Arabs steal a sol- dier'S clothes, they seldom take his "dog tags" which carry his own name and that of his next of kin. But when body is found without these identification discs, they are returned to Washington. There, the War Department frequently is able to identify the victim through the tooth chart made when the soldier entered the service.
 McHenry works under a Graves Registration Service unit headed by It. Meyer Brown, former post of- flee employe in Chicago. In this same unit is Staff Sgt. Eugene Far ris, a former funeral director in Augusta, Kan.
 "The soil around here Is so dry that the bodies are almost mummi- fed" said Farris. We wrap them in canvas shelter half, or some times place them in a wooden box, before burying them in a military cemetery"
 The Graves Registration Service keeps detailed records of the dead, and sees that the cross or star of David over each grave bears the name and unit of each victim. The information is stamped into a lead- colored metal plate which in turn is nailed to the cross or star. If the doughboy'S dog tags are recovered, one is nailed up beside the metal plate.

at military school, still thinks often and longingly - of the theater.
 Monks and I chatted at a regi- mental command post, where he is considered one of the outstanding young officers of the Marines who seized and held this beachhead on Empress Augusta Bay. He is now attached to the operations section, where he is entrusted with consid- erable responsibility for the suc- cess of this jungle campaign.
 Monks disclosed he hoped before long to write play based largely on the Bougainville campaign, de- scribing the tough, rugged Marines with whom he works.
 You can't write a play under these conditions" he said, pointing to the surrounding expanse of tan- gled jungle foliage and swamp. "But if they ever shoot me out to some quiet, civilized place - don't mean the States, necessarily - where I can work for week or two, I'd like to write a play on what I've seen here
 Monks is no "90-day wonder among Marine officers. He at tended Virginia Military Institute, locale of his play, Brother Rat" and entered the Marine Corps with good military background.
 Monks, now a captain, belongs to ceratin outfit that calls itself with considerable reason, "the best damn regiment in the United States Ma rines." This regiment spent 26 days in the line" which means that for 26 consecutive days it held down a front line position. It participated in the battle of Cape Torokina, the battle of Koromokina River and the battle of Cibik Ridge.
 One night, in the course of the latter action, Monks and I slept in the same dugout near the front line. During the day we had been subjected to mortar fire, and both of us were dog tired and nervous Other observers and liaison officers drifted in until, before dusk, there were seven of us.
 Monks took command of the Nt- tie group, assigned sleeping space

By LOIS PEAIBERTON NEA Stan Writer

Garbed again in the uniform of a war correspondent, S. J. Woof, internationally famed artist, has gone to the battlefronts of World War II, on an exclusive assign ment for NEA Service, to sketch Allied military and political leaders and inSide-the-war activities of American troops.
 As an AEF correspondent in 1917, he produced many historic paintings and sketches of American generals and doughboys.
 Although he is one of the great CT contemporary oil painters in America, Woolf is perhaps best known today for his drawings in the New York Times and leading magazines, whereff the reading public has followed his combined sketches mad interviews with dis tinguished folk for more than two decades.
 "It's always my last interview that is the most outstanding, he tells you. And after 45 years of continuous work, each succeeding sketch or oil bears out that same dynamic enthusiasm for the next one.

 His lithos of Mark Twain, Theo- dore Roosevelt and the wellknowns of the day attracted much atten- tion. The Times sent him to Europe in 1927, where he drew Chamberlain, Lloyd George, Briand Clemenceau, Mussolini, Lindbergh and scores of others.
 SHAW INTERVIEW WAS FIRST
 But it was George Bernard Shaw who started Woolf as @ writer. To gain that venerable gents consent to pose, much biting comment passed between them. But with the flattering remark that America would possesses two vital documents, both signed on the 4th of July, if Woolf obtained the auto- graphed sketch, Shaw posed. When he returned to New York, the Times was pleased with his col- lection, said, Fine, we'll hold 'em till articles come along" Woolf inn mediately wrote the Shaw episode, and was sent back to London for more.
 Woolf is native New Yorker. born on 64th street, stones throw from his present studio. Studied at the Art Students League and Academy of Design; married an artist and has two daughters. Loves city life and travel; wouldn't trade his Riverside Drive apartment for any country estate (the crickets keep him awake, but the roar of traffic is a lullaby).

in the narrow enclosure and as- signed every man present, includ ing this correspondent, to lookout duty for designated periods during the night. When someone persisted in drowsy gossip, or tried to light a cigarette that might give away our position to Jap snipers or scouts, Monks peremptorily issued orders that were obeyed unhesitatingly.
 During the day, he has carried reports or secuted the front under enemy fire. Brother Rat does that as part of the usual duty of Ma rine officer. In fact, it's doubtful if 95 Per cent of his outfit would know about him in any way other than Captain Monks" AS noted before, it's long way from Broad way to Bougainville.
