Missing in Action. Lieut. John Gilbert Winant Jr., 21, older son of the Ambassador to Britain; after an Eighth Air Force raid on Muenster, his 13th combat mission. Fellow flyers reported seeing parachutes float from his Flying Fortress Tech Supply, shot down in an attack by three enemy fighters. A Princeton sophomore when he joined the Army Air Forces last year, the handsome, taciturn pilot flew on his first mission eight weeks ago, joined the first U.S. shuttle raid on Germany, flew safely to Africa over 300 miles of hot enemy territory with 75 flak holes in his ship and his rudder control shot away.

Died. Radclyffe Hall, 57, monocled authoress of 1929's bestselling, Lesbian novel The Well of Loneliness; of cancer; in London.

Died. Julia Etta Willkie, 57, Wendell Willkie's versatile elder sister; of a cerebral hemorrhage; in Bridgeport, Conn. The family's firstborn, she majored in Greek at Indiana U. (summa cum laude, '08), taught languages at Indiana's Manchester College after postgraduate philolo-gizing in Europe. She translated for the U.S. Government during World War I, took a law degree (1916) and shared the Elwood practice of her father, later worked in Ontario as a skilled bacteriologist. At the time of her death she headed the priorities section of United Aircraft's Bridgeport division.

Died. George Henry Bull, 58, beefy bon vivant, longtime president of the country's most famed racing enterprise, the Saratoga Association for the Improvement of the Breed of Horses; after a long illness; in Manhattan.

Died. Ignatius Timothy Trebitsch-Lincoln, 64, charlatan extraordinary to the 20th Century; reportedly after an intestinal operation; in Shanghai. Born a Hungarian Jew, he soon became a Lutheran, left London as a Presbyterian missionary to Canada, reappeared as an Anglican curate in Kent. Then he dropped his clerical garb, called himself Lincoln, in 1910 was elected M.P. with the help of B. Seebohm Rowntree, a credulous cocoa king for whom Lincoln had turned Quaker. During World War I he became a British mail censor, was jailed after boasting how he had outsmarted Britain as a spy. Released an Anglophobe, he tried to help German militarists back into power, eventually sold out to France. In the mid-'20s Chinese Buddhist Abbot Chao Kung was identified as Trebitsch-Lincoln reincarnate, founder of the "League of Truth." In 1926 he was allowed to return to the side of his British soldier son Ignatius (a condemned murderer), lost his race with the hangman, repented of his wicked life. In 1938 he transcendentalized: "I am still pro-Chinese and therefore pro-Japanese." As World War II approached, he demanded that peace-planless European governments resign before Tibetan Buddhist "supreme masters" were compelled to chastise them with secret "forces and powers."

Died. Patrick Austin ("Paddy") Nash, 80, both Nash and dash of Chicago's famed Kelly-Nash political machine; of pneumonia; in Chicago. Son of an Irish immigrant contractor, short, derbied Nash moved early to the West Side, whose con trol he gradually took over from his political tutor, the 28th (then 14th) Ward's famed Roger Sullivan. Until nearly 50.

Nash's chief municipal study was in the art of low bidding for Chicago's fat sewer contracts. When shrewd Mayor Anton Joseph Cermak was killed in 1933 by a Miami assassin's bullet (intended for F.D.R.), Nash eased into the saddle, made a mayor of onetime Sewer Engineer Edward Joseph Kelly, soon began a series of colorful, losing battles for statewide power with the late Governor Henry Horner. The Nashist approach: "I like to be called a boss, even if I'm not one."
