Hollywood, Nov. 6.-OP)-For an hour last night 30 persons in Blue Network studio laughed at Joe B. Browns wisecracks on his quiz program, unaware of the comedians grief over the critical condition of his daughter, Mary. injured in an automobile accident.
 Only as the show ended did the audience gain an idea of the actors true feelings when he addressed words of reaSSurance into the micro phone to his wife, Kathryn, listen- ing to the program at home.
 "Ma," Brown said in a faltering voice, Mary is much better"
 Mary is Browns 13-year old daughter. She suffered skull fracture and concuSsion of the brain and compound fracture of the leg when she was thrown from her car when it collided Saturday night with one carrying Freddie Bartholomew former child actor.
 Fellow comedians, including Ed ward Everett Horton, Arthur Treach- CT and Phil Harris, volunteered to take over Browns Sunday night ra- dio quiz, Stop or Co.," in which guests parry questions and build up to a climax query that pays off a jackpot if answered correctly.
 But Brown carried his shhow through. For an hour, including a pre-show entertainment period and the half hour of the program broad cast nationally, Brown pulled his gags, ad libbing without giving a hint to the audience of his suffer- ing.
 Then he broke into SobS, and of- ficialS called off his scheduled after show appearance before the studio audience. Soldier friends whom he hhad met during his overseas enter tainment tours accompanied him home.
 It was the second tragedy in two years to hit the wide-mouthed comic His son, Capt. Don E. Brown, was killed October 8, 1942, when his army bomber crashed near Palm Springs. Calf.
 News of that death was telephoned to Brown in Detroit as he pre- pared to go on the stage of the Shubert Lafayette theater for a performance of '"rhe Show Off. The play was cancelled. and Brown re- turned to the coast to claim his sons body.

BROOKLYN NEWS

More than 2,OOO pounds of cloth- ing have already been contributed by Waterbgury residents for ship ment to war-torn Lithuania, 1t was disclosed at meeting of the St. Joseph's parish branch of the United Lithuanian Relief Fund yesterday afternoon. A clothing salvage drive was opened officially yesterday by the fund on national basis and will continue until November 20.
 An appeal for clothing was made at all Masses at St. Josephis church yesterday, and Mayor John s. Mon- agan has joined the local Lithuan- ians in urging contributions for the drive. The parish unit was the second or- ganized in this country, and hun- dreds of other branches of the Re- lief fund are now in existence. One other has been formed in Water bury, anw it's believed additional ones may be formed eventually.
 All parishioners of St. Joseph's church will be asked to back the drive, and 100 per cent cooperation is anticipated from the 5000 mem berS.
 The United Lithuanian Relief Fund is a member agency of the War Relief Fund organized in Wash ington and approved by the U. S. gov ernment. The Lithuanian division is registered with the Presidents War Relief Control board.
 An objection to the activity of the fund, voiced yesterday by the American-Lithuanian Workers Lit- erary Society, was answered briefly today by Professor Alexander J. Aleksis, president of the church unit who stated the literary group was pro-Russia in every respect.
 The literary unit at a state con- vention held here yesterday com posed a telegram to Washington stating in part, Since Lithuania is Soviet Republic we believe the money now allocated to the United Relief should be added to the budget of Russian War Relief for the aid of the people in Lithuania."
 Professor Aleksis stated the liter ary organization numbers about 8 dozen members in this city and only several dozen throughout the state The unit is not representative ot the Lithuanian-Americans and its views are pro-Russian, he said.
 The literary unit in effect is ask ing for abolition of the Lithuanian organization and incorporation o1 all its activities under the Russian War Relief.
 Professor AleksiS referred to thu term communist propaganda" il explaining the stand of the unit. H 7aid Lithuania has not been recog
 lized as 8 Soviet of Russia and tn
