Mary Garden Makes Television Debut ~ Famed Prima Donna In Television Bow NEW 7 YORK UP — Mary Garden, the toast of two continents back when William Howard Taft was President and couples still danced the two-step, made another debut Sunday night—on television. And the opera star of another erategoing to have another •‘farewell tour" of the United States too! _ Miss Garden just has too much energy to retire. She appeared on “Toast of the Town” on CBS, after steadfastly turning down TV offers since her arrival in January. It took only the slightest coaxing to get the famed prima donna to venture into this new field. In two days she boards a plane to fly back to her home in Aberdeen, Scotland, ending her current lecture series in eastern cities which was described as a “farewell tour” when she arrived in January. “I'll be back," she announced triumphantly, when she was interviewed before her television debut. She plans to lecture next fall on the west coast. It will be, she says, her “farewell tour.” Miss Garden is 77 now, according to records, though she says she is 70. Yet she donned a black spangled evening dress and stepped on stage for an interview with Ed Sullivan before the televsion cameras with the same nerveless enthusiasm she showed in her Paris opera debut nearly 50 years ago. “I never had a thrill from my career,” she said earlier. “Every single thing I have done in thy career, I’ve been ready. When you are ready, you don’t get a thrill.” Television is “wonderful to think about because so many millions of people see you at one time,” the Scottish-boru prima donna said. But until Sunday night's appearance, she had insisted it was “too new a thing” for her to try.

Marshal Juin Quits Post As NATO Leader Will Join DeGaulle In All-Out Fight On European Army Plan TARIS UP — .Marshal Alphonse Juin, stripped of all his French defense posts last week, resigned today as NATO commander of all central European land, sea and air forces. He said he would join Gen. Charles DeGaulle in an ajl-out fight against the European armyplan. Juin was publicly humbled for ignoring an order of premier Joseph Laniel to explain in persotf' a speech in which Jujn publicly denounced the European armyplan. The marshal informed Laniel he was declaring War on the European army scheme — backbone of American defense plans for Western Europe — in a 30-minute-con-ference in Daniel's office today. Then he motored to the foreign ministry and presented foreign minister Georges Bidault with his prepared resignation as top French officer in the North Atlantic treaty armies. — Bidault promptly called NATO secretary - general Lord Ismay and asked him to convene an immediate meeting of the 14-nation NATO council to act on Juin’s resignation and appoint a replacement. Laniel was kicked Sunday by an angry extremist among a mob who used the firing of Juin as an exI cuse for a demonstration at the Arch of Triumph, where the premier and defense minister Rene Pleven were taking part in ceremonis honoring the dead of the Indochinese War. Laniel called his interior minis-* ter on the carpet to find out Why the police had not protected him from physical assault. Laniel asked minister of interior Leon <Martinaud-Deplat to account for the laxness of 800 members of his police force on duty at the ceremony, which had .been scheduled in honor of the dead in Indochina. Martinaud-Deplat later told news men that neither aLniel nor Pleven had been hurt. “After a brief inquiry I have been able to make, it seems to me the incidents have been considerably exaggerated,” Martinaud-De-plat said. "The whole thing fizzled into shouts and confusion and lasted only 10 minutes,” the minister said. "There was some pushing but no blows or injuries.” Eyewitnesses and news photographers contradicted the minister. They said the mob slapped Pleven and pulled his hair. Some of them tried to overturn Daniel's automobile but were beaten back by police. The attack on the government officials was in reaction to the firing of Juin from all his military posts last week for refusing to appear before Laniel and tell why he made speeches against the proposed European army.

Kam UP — The public got its first look Saturday at the Eisenhower Museum, erected beside the .President’s boyhood pome to house his unique personal collection, valued at more than one million dollars.

House Committee Studies Labor Bill 1 . ’ I Would Give States More Labor Power WASHINGTON (UP) — The house labor committee was expected to approve today President Eisenhower’s controversial proposal to give states more power to handle labpt { disputes. It was one W the last major items up for consideration at a closed session on the committee’s section-by-section revision of the labor-management act. The proposed amendment would state that nothing in the law interferes with the right of a state to deal with disputes cheating “a clear and present danger" to the health or safety Os its citizens. The change, generally favored by management but bitterly opposed by organized labor, was ineluded in the revision bill adopted by the senate labor committee .last, week Sen. Herbert H. Lehman (D-N.Y.), a former governor, said it caused him to "shudder” because it would give state governors power to "break any strike.” With but two exceptions, the house and senate bills would carry out all of the President’s recommendations for “improving” the law. Both would broaden “free speech” for employers; require them to sign non - Communist oaths; and ease certain union shop ai.d secondary boycott provisions. #■ '• --- - . --, - Muncie Teacher Is Killed In Plunge INDIANAPOLIS, (UP) — Authorities today investigated the death of Muncie school teacher Vecil S.

More Stales Aided By Surplus Foods Half Million Now Receiving Surplus WASHINGTON UP — The number of states asking for and getting government-owned food surpluses for donation to the unemployed has almost doubled in the past month. Howard P. Davis, deputy director of the agriculture department's food distribution branch, said about 500,000 persons in 23 states are estimated to be receiving surplus foods. He said the largest single group are out-of-work coal miners in Kentucky, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. In February, a dozen states had asked for shipments from bulging federal larders to help feed hardpressed families. The shipments are going to those on public welfare roils and to others who are not getting any aid but the food. Davis cautioned that about 185,000 of the 500,000 total could include these who have been getting food donations “right along” — apart from the stepped-up demand in the past two months. He said figures are available yet on how much food has been moved into relief feeding operations. He said the department hopes to make some kind of breakdown in the next few weeks. >He said central records kept here do not break down shipments between those headed for school lunch program, -welfare institu-
