PXP.E FIVE WINCHELL SEEKS F Gossip Columnist Serves Singing Comedian- With Formal Suit for Punch Dealt Him in Hollywood By Charlta K. irarner NEW YORK, Aug. 10. (AP) The pass At Jokon made at Walter Wln chell two weeks ago in Hollywood haa been passed right back, to him in the form of a $500,000 suit for damage. Wlnchell, Broadway goasip .jolumn lBt, said today that the singing come dlan was served with a formal notice of the suit last Thursday night. When or where the suit will ca heard Wlnchell doesn't know. "That's all up to my attorneys," he said. Thousands See Frans Thousands of eyes turned from the paid pugilists at an outdoor fight In Hollywood, on the night of July 21, when the actor and the columnist mixed at the ringside. What most everyone saw was a group of police, ushers, and friends milling In the seats. Out of the melee emerged Wlnchell, freely admitting he hHd been hit, and Jolson, freely admit ting he had done the hitting. ' The actor said he punched Wln chell In retaliation for writing a scenario which he had heard reflect ed upon his actress wife, Ruby Keelcr and himself. "The only thing that makes me feel badly." said Wlnchell today, "la that public opinion has been deceiv ed into believing me guilty of the charge. "Mr. Jolson said he was worried over his wife's condition; he didn't worry about my -wife's condition.' Never Saw Script "Did Jolson ever ask to see that script? No. He beat It out of Holly' wood and came back to New York and there I was, holding the bag. "Mr. Jolson accused me of slander lng Mrs. Jolson and Jumped gallant ly to his wife's defense without knowing what It was all about. "I couldn't prove to him that there la nothing in that picture about him or hla wife. He wouldn't give me a chance. So now I'm going to prove It in court. "Thla Is the truth: The picture Is not about Mr. and Mrs. Al Jolson r Star Picture Soon Winchell'a picture la called "Broad way Through a Keyhole." He said the producers. Twenty Century United Artists, will start production next Monday with Rusa Columbo In the role of an orchestra leader. What made Jolson think the pic ture concerned him? "That's the laugh." said the col- umnLst, ruefully. "A columnist out on the coast wrote that In hla col umn. A columnist, mind yout "Well, that's the way life goes. I've been throwing bricks a long time. I guess I mustn't mind If I get hit by one."

The present depression will then seem like good times In comparison and who knows what the outcome will be socialism or communism. A vigorous offensive Is now neces sary and the battle must be carried Into the enemy's territory. The NRA la a mighty army. It haa units scattered here and there and every where.

The merchants and business men of this community have formed va rious civic organizations ao help boost this community and to help it grow and develop. But it is a sorry state o' affairs that few of the pro fessional business and one man bus inesses .have ever helped to any de gree. The merchants and manufac turers have been called upon In this and every community to put more people to work; In fact they have been commanded to do this at that time of year when business is poor est and at a time In the cycle when they are the least able to afford It, In contrast there are many busi nesses and professions which are not in the least affected. Their over head expenses are not Increased one whit: They can help, and nobly too, not only In defeating the depression but alto In making this one of the outstanding communities In the whole country.

The pear harvest will absorb some of the 3000 unemployed re ported at Medford.
