Feud Days

In the 600-odd newspapers that run his syndicated column, Walter Winchell has been having trouble. He is feuding with so many enemies--e.g., the New York Post ("New York Poo," "Postitute," "Compost"), Disk Jockey Barry Gray ("Borey Pink," "a disk jerk") and Columnist Leonard Lyons* ("author of the 'Liar's Den' "), that editors and readers outside Manhattan often don't know what Winchell is talking about. As a result, editors have been cutting or killing many of his columns. Last week Winchell announced a plan to stop the mayhem. He will set aside two days a week for feuds. Wrote Winchell: "[I] will offer seven columns a week for New Yorkers. Syndicate papers can use if they wish. The Tuesday and Saturday columns will resume spotlighting the [local] pinks and punks . . ."

*Who has stung Winchell by pointing out that although Winchell always advises others how to vote, Winchell "never has voted."
