WAR BONDS AND SAVINGS STAMPS BROOKLYN EAGLE, TUESDAY, NOV. 11 Patton, a Picturesque Fighter, Has Brave Past Lt. Gen. George S. Patton has been hailed as one of the most picturesque fighters this war has yet produced.

A tall and rangy Californian of 58, bald-headed, leatherlunged, he is now fighting his ond World War. They call him Blood and Guts. Near Cheppy, France, on Sept. 26, 1918, he was decorated for reforming broken lines of infantry and leading them to the attack behind tanks until he was wounded. He graduated from West Point with the class of 1918.

When an American tank corps was formed during the last war, Patton was placed in charge of it. He attended the French school and was at Cambrai when the British first used tanks and broke through Continued from Page 1. Patton Struck Hero -Saved by Apology by Eisenhower because he was and valuable" to Allied operations in Sicily and because of his record. Chastized by Eisenhower Eisenhower did, however, obtain a full report and "took the hide" off Patton for his action, the officer said. Patton apologized at once to the hospital commander, a nurse and a doctor who watched the episode.

This apology was witnessed by C. R. Cunningham. United Press correalso apologized to the soldier and to men of the divisions under his command. Merrill Mueller, N.

B. C. correspondent, and Demaree Bess, of the Saturday Evening Post, made a thorough investigation. Later Eisenhower was understood to have asked correspondents not to transmit reports of the incident. Had Been Denied Yesterday a formal headquarters statement in reply to questions about the incident, reported United States by Drew Pearson, newspaper and radio commentator, said Patton had never been reprimanded and no soldier had ever refused to obey an order from him.

Patton directed operations in both Tunisia and Sicily, once during the latter campaign disembarking on a beachhead to command a drive against a serious German counterattack. He goes into battle packing pearl-handled frontier model revolvers. The story of the incident has been known to literally thousands for weeks. As related by the staff officer, here is what happened: Patton, on a visit to an evacuation hospital in Sicily early in August, found a soldier in bed wearing the lining to a steel helmet and crying. Patton asked him what was wrong.

Raged at Soldier "My nerves. I guess, the soldier said. "I can't stand those shells going over." "You are yellow-bellied." Patton replied angrily. "Get out of this hospital and back up to your unit at the front!" The soldier continued crying while Patton, who is 57 and who has gained a reputation for picturesque curses. grew more angry, raging at the soldier.

He finally struck the soldier with the back of his hand, knocking off his headgear, which rolled across the floor. The nurse tried to stop him but the doctor ordered her away. Patton then went around to others in the tent, telling them all "yellow bellies" should be sent back to the front. Patton returned a second time to the soldier's bedside, cursed some more, and again struck him with the back of his The nurse fled crying. The commanding doctor left because he could not stop the general.

The doctor who had admitted the soldier then escorted Patton to a car and the general drove off, without investigating how the soldier had been admitted. The incident was seen by at least three hospital staff members as well as most patients. Inquiry Is Launched Mueller and Bess obtained statements from all witnesses, after they heard of the incident. The newsmen interviewed Eisenhower and found that he personally has received a full report the incident, having statements from three senior officers, all of brigadier general or above. Patton made immediate apologies to the hospital commander, the nurse and doctor.

That development was witnessed by C. R. CunUnited Press staff correspondent. Patton also A apologized to the soldier in the company of the original witnesses. Later he went around to all divisions under his command, calling as many men together as possible.

Woollcott Estate Set at $70,000 Alexander Woolcott. writer and former theatrical critic. who died Jan. 23. left an estate cf about $70.000, exclusive of possible on his hook.

"Lone, Lo: 3 Ago." That was the figure to. day by his former Jerech Hennessy, principal legatee under the will. Capt. Frode Jensen of Syracuse, last reported with the United States Army Medical Corps in the Mediterranean area, and Hennessy share equally in the will. although the Woollcott Summer home on Neshobe Island at Lake Bomoseen, where the writer had his legal residence, was bequeathed to Hennessy.

Captain Jensen was a protege of Woollcott. He landed here penniless from Denmark in 1908 at the age of 14. While still in his teens he met Woollcott, who helped him throughout his medical education. Mr. Woollcott left to Harvard University the silver desk rule which President Roosevelt presented to him upon a visit he was making at the White House.

Harvard also received his papers and documents. His set of books goes to Hamilton College. Mr. Hennessy explained that the apparent smallness of the estate of the well-known writer was due to his generosity in helping causes he supported. Services Today For Alfred E.
