were flooding in Thursday from every part of the world. , But the 83-year-old statesman stood by decision that only’a small and intimate gathering should mark the completion of his half—century of married life. The- Churclu‘lls are at Lord Beavenbmok’s Riviera villa Ca- poucina, where they have been on vacation for the last weeks. The Gap d’IAil post office has had to make special arrange— ments to deliver the tremendous mail for its famous guest, who is also honorary mayor of this Med-- lternanean village. ‘ Messages have come from Queen Elizabeth, Prime Minister Macmillan and many Oomt'non— wealth and fioreign governments.

MONTY INVITED

Informed sources in Paris say Field Marshal Viscount Montgom- ery has been invited to the cele- bration. Others, it is thought here, may include Churchill’s publisher ,' Emery Reeves, and Mrs. Reeves; Greta Garbo; Mrs. Reginald Fel- lowes; Mr. and Mrs. Aristotle Onassis; and hovelist Somerset Maugham, also an octogenarian. these have recently ex- vi‘slts with the Church— us.

to draw them closer together. But the square of friendshlp was reduced to a triangle.

RETURNED TO WORK

After a period of grief, Liz re- turned to work ’and then. to the social scene. She dabbled with long-time friend, Arthur Loew Jr., but he bored her. She re- newed friendship with her first husband, Nicky Hilton.

Still bored, she, decided to take a trip to Europe! By a stroke of chance, perhaps, she was in New York when Fisher was there for talks about his telewsion show. As an old friend of her late hus- band, Eddie escorted her around town.

He also took- beam the Cat- skill-s resort where he and Debbie had wed in September, 1055. Liz “had a divine time.” But the New York gossips saw more in their dates than friendship. ,

The reports got back to Debbie ‘in Holly-wood. She was dismayed. She and Eddie had had their quarrels, but they had always been resolved. She had no reason to believe their marriage could be sabotaged by anything.

EDDIE BIG HELP

But Elizabeth Taylor is one of the most beautiful girls in the world. And she says she found Eddie’s friendship made her feel "happier and more like a human being than I have at any time since Mike's death.”

“Almighty God has blessed you both with great talent. But your richest gift will come from the joys and happiness that wall flow from this marriage."

PQSSIBLE MOTIVE

» Therein appeared to lie the only hint of a motive, if the boy’s shocking confession is true. ' But is the boy a crafty, men- tally twisted schooner capable of striking down the two people in all the world who should have been the objects of deepest love? 01‘ is he a confused child, ready in a state of shock and grief to draw from the recesses of his young mind a fantasy pic- ture of complete unthuth? ’ Both the state and boy’s de- fendversdiligently sought the an- swer. “I don't nun: he ever naised a finger against his mother and father,” said his lawyer, Harris B. Steinberg. v The ‘Nimer boy’s parents, Dr. Melvin Nimer and his wife, Lore Jean, both 31, were stabbed to

death in their Staten lslamd home Sept. 2. The boy said they were slain when they came to his aid after an intruder in a white mask tried to choke him. Last Saturday, Bralsted said, the boy changed his story and told of stabbing his parents with

a kitchen knife as they slept.

major railways announced Thurs- day night they will seek an im- mediate 19-per - cent boost in freight rates to meet a potential wage bill of $60,000,000. '

The cross-the - board increase will be sought next~ week in a joint ‘CIP‘RJON‘R application before the board of transport commis- sioners in Ottawa.

The railways also said they will ask for an increase of 25 cents a ton of coal and coke freight charges.

The increases were foreshad- owed, last week when the rail- ways announced they were neither accepting nor rejectlng .a conciliation board majority rec- ommendation for a 14-cent hourly increase in pay for 130,000 non- operating workers.
