Jane Froman will interrupt rehears-
ais for her broadway comback to-
day to undergo her 18th operation.

singer who crashed with the Yankee
clipper near Lisbon last February
said she felt "wonderful-just Won-
derful.'

she said, but it's the lucky one
Off comes the cast-and the wheel

Thin but gay, Miss FrOman re-
ported that in addition to her oper-
atoms, she had four blood trans
fusions, seven months of hospitali-
zation, and $4,000 units of penicillin
"he gave penicillin to me three
times" she said. II guess I must
nave been pretty near dead"
Her nurse, who attends her con-

as been under treatment since ar
living here from Lisbon five months
ago.

called it occupational therapy. I'm

Asked for her reaction to the
crash which threatened to cripple
her for life, she said:
ITS a patriotic one. You don't
know how much you love your
country until you get stuck abroad
