ILLNESS DEVELOPED FROM SEVERE COLD (By Associated | Press) LONDON, Jan. 31,—John Gals- iy, British novelist and dramatist, and 1932 Nobel prize winner, died today. He was 65. “The famous writer was suffer- ing from anemia and was a grave condition for the past week. His illness developed from a severe cold contracted last month. Khown as the fictional chron- icler of England’s upper class, John Galsworthy spent most of his life critically examining the con-; ventions of British landed aristo- eracy. Educated at Harrow and Ox- ford fér the bar,’ he was admitted j to practice at the age of 23. After a brief period he deserted that profession and employed his legal training as an aid in making a; searching analysis of the social circles in which he moved. Galsworthy traveled extensively after he decided upon a literary! career. He learned to write, ac-} cording to his own confession, by unlearning everything else. “Education serves rather to choke than te encourage the powers of imagination and creativeness,” he once said, “I! did not begin to write novels un- til I had forgotten all I had} learned at school and college.

The maneuvers are planned |somewhat in the manner of an ath- letic contest with a goal set but the manner in which it is to be at- tained is just as much a secret as the manner in which a football team is to score its touchdowns. The purpose of the problem is to test the entire force of the navy under surprise conditions such as they would, meet in war. No shots will be fired but the most intricate gun-play possible with modern equipment will be used from anti-aircraft to gunnery from the turrets of huge warships. Men will work with clock-like pre- cision, handling and placing shells and powder just as though they were actually in war.
