He tells us all about it "Turn of the Tide" Doubleday Doran: $2.75), a book which is at once fas- cinating and exasperating. The lat ter applies to the final stages of the book, in which MT. Walmsley goes into great detail about the agonies of writing a motion pie ture script for a British producer. The chapters devoted to it have no place in book which otherwise is charming.
 The son of an artist, Walmsley was brought up in Bramblewick, a small fishing village. Angling ad- diets will devour the early chapters, in which as a small boy he learns to fish with set-lines along the scaurs, or rocks, then learns the delights of bay fishing with an old sea captain. The fish are unfamiliar to American sportsmen, but their behavior is the same, and so is the fun.
 NO POACHING"
 Young Walmsley then stumbles upon by fishing. and there is an incident in which he tries the for bidden milpond, belonging to the village squire (and also Police Mag istrate) which has the favor of Puck Finn.
 When g marine biology observa- ton station is set up in the village, Walmsley is the natural choice as assistant and through visiting research student he catches the bug of studying the minute sea creatures which cluster about the rocks
 War with the kaiser interrupts his plans to go to Malaysia on research expedition, and he be- comes an airnan in British East Africa. Here, as in the fishing yarns, Walmsley is at his best. Many of the African scenes are entrancing.
 After the war he returns to Africa with a film company; the venture is failure, though he saves some interesting color for the

NEW CHANNEL
 TO SEA AIM OF
 NEW ORLEANS

New Orleans, La, Jan. 29. (UP)- The corkscrew route ships must follow from New Orleans to the open sea will be strengthened and elbowed to the east for postwar shipping if proposed tidewater channel is constructed to connect the city's harbor directly to the Gulf of Mexico.
 Looking ahead to peaceful days when banana and coffee ships will resume their regular schedules be- tween here and South America, authorities of the Second Port Of the U.S.A" are asking for the tide water channel to overcome the rise and fall along the Mississippi River front, the twisting route to the Gulf of Mexico and to enable them to provide more shipside railroad trackage.
 The proposed $23 ,000, 900 chan mel would slice through marsh and silt for 62.5 miles before it reached the open waters of Chameleon Sound. It will have bottom width of 600 feet and minimum depth of 40 feet, which will be ample to handle all callers.
 Vast Port Facilities
 This improvement would put an- other feather in the hat now worn by the Port of New Orelean, which already claims the worlds largest public warehouse for storage of an agricultural product, cotton; ana grain elevator with storage capac- ity of 2,662 900 bushels that is cap able of unloading. 100000 bushels a day from railroad cars and 8O,OOO bushels a day from barges or ships.
 New Orleans claims the title of Second Port of the U.S.A.' on it's capacity for handling and storing general freight. In 1943, 122,2OO railroad cars were loaded here, a total behind only that of New York.
 Banana imports already are on the upswing with imports Of that fruit for 1914 nearly three times what they were the year before and about 60 per cent of the peak year of 1887.
 Nearly e,ooo,oOo bags of coffee passed through New Orleans last year from South America. Mucn of the coffee that formerly traveleo to Atlantic ports for Eastern con- sumption now is being shipped to New Orleans.
 89 Wharves in Harbor
 Covering more than Il miles along the waterfront are 89 wharveS. Of these, the State of Louisiana owns ST.. the. Federal government. owns 2, the railways own l9, ana the remainder are owned or oper- ated by other private interests:
 All the wharves at New Orleans are parallel to the river banks, eliminating the use of tugs and making it quicker and easier TOT ships to dock, load and unload.
 E. o. Jewell. general manager of the Board of Port Commission. CTS. said, "New Orleans is here at the very heart of this great inland waterway system. here at the june ton of the Mississippi River and lts tributaries. which drain s6 states of the Union.
 It is this natural factor that New Orleans largely is relying upon to keep her supplied with materlaN to load incoming ships and retain her title of a "Two-Way Port"
