'EATHER: dandy and Colder Today VOLUME XLVI World N e w s o Edited by Jim McAden OSCAR ODD McINTYRE, FAMOUS WRITER, DIES New York, Feb. 14 Oscar Odd Mclntyre, famous New York newspaper columnist, died in his Park avenue apart ment early this morning of :an undetermined cause. Coming from a small Ohio town, the writer worked for various newspapers before he began his daily column pub lished in almost 400 journals. In this column, millions of Americans looked for their im pressions of New York City, as seen through the eyes of a "home town boy." Friday would have been Mc Intyre's 54th birthday and also his 30th wedding anni versary. He died at two o'clock this morning of an un known cause, but he had been in failing health for some time. The first man to write a syndicated New York column, Mclntyre started his news paper careejr in his home town, on the Gallipolis, Ohio, Journal. He worked in many positions for a number of mid west journals for ten years before finally succumbing to the "big town" lure. After being in New York for only a few months, he had started the brisk-phrases jot tings on the Gotham scene which resulted in his fame and fortune as one of the highest paid newspaper writers in the world.

Granite In excavation for the build ing, it was necessary to remove 2,000 cubic yards of the granite, an amount far beyond prelimi nary expectations.
