Israel Charges
 Egyptian Troops Invaded Caza Strip

JERUSALEM, (R-An Israeli military spokesman charged that Egyptian troops backed by auto matic fire crossed into Israeli ter ritory east of the Gaza strip today.
 He said an Israeli unit drove the Egyptians back across the ar mistice line. No casualties on the Israeli side were reported.
 The spokesman said the Egyp- tian force came over the border in the Nirim area, east of the central sector of the .Gaza strip. At the same time, he said, an Egyptian position opened fire with medium automatic weapons on an Israeli outpost.
 Israeli authorities reported late last week that an Egyptian unit of platoon strength, supported by mortar and machinegun fire from across the border, tried twice to storm an Israel position in the Nirim area but failed both times. A report from Gaza quoted a LIN. spokesman as saying LIN. investi- gators had found no evidence to support the complaint.
 An Israeli foreign ministry spokesman declared that up to this morning the Egyptians had refused to leave Israel territory in the Fl Auja-Nitzana zone.
 The spokesman welcomed the New York peace appeal of Maj. Gen. E. l.. M. Burns, U. N. truce observer, and commented "a quiet border situation and peace-that's exactly what we want, too"
 The JUN. appeal was made by Gen. Burns and JUN. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold. II warned that either side taking the offensive might cause ''the gravest consequences"

Millionaire Sportsman Shot By Wife
 When She Mistakes Him For Prowler

OYSTER BAY, NY, R-Wil- liam Woodward IT,, millionaire sportsman and socialite, was shot dead yesterday by his beautiful blonde wife. Between hysterical sobs she told police she had mis- taken him for a prowler.
 The prominent Woodwards, mar ried 12 years and the parents of two children, had returned home from a party in honor of the Duchess of Windsor about two hours before the shooting.
 Woodward, 35, was the owner of the racehorse Nashua. His wife, Ann, 32, an ex-model, shared his enthusiasm for racing and was seen with him by millions who watched on TV the $1OO,OO0 match race in which Nashua beat Swaps, winner of the Kentucky Derby, in Chicago last Aug. 31.
 It was a 12-gauge, double-bar- reled shotgun that felled Wood ward just inside the doorway of his bedroom about 3 am.
 Police arrived at the low, ram bling 15-room home on the 60- acre estate soon after the shooting.

Icebreaker Edisto Off to Antarctica
 FOrScienceStudies

BOSTON, R-The sturdy Navy icebreaker USS Edisto was on the high seas today on the first leg of a six-month expedition to Antarc- tica She pulled out from here yes terday.
 The Edisto is one of nine ships which will rendezvous in the polar region as Task Force 43 for ex- tensive studies to be carried out under the International Geophysi- cal Year program 1957-58.
 The Navy did not spell out the Edisto's duties, but previously has said 38 nations will participate in ICY studies embracing such fields as meteorology, solar activity, gla- ciology, cospaic rays, oceanog- raphy and geomagnetism.
 The Edisto carries a crew of some 200 officers and men. Eleven Alaskan husky dogs, trained for sled work, also are aboard.
 On the ships weather deck are 'weasels," special snowmobiles, and an enclosed Caterpillar-part of the snow transportation system.
 The ship carries two helicopters, the largest ever to operate from an icebreaker;; sleds, skis, cold weather clothing, scientific equip ment, cameras, film and other photographic materials.
 Enough food to feed the crew for eight months was also aboard, although the cruise is expected to end in May. The Navy explained an extra 25 percent ratio will be allowed each man to combat raw enous appetities acquired in the frozen lands.
 Rear Adm. George Quick, vet eran arctic explorer, is in charge of the task force made up of three icebreakers, three cargo ships, two tankers and a fueler.
 Rear Adm. Richard E. Byrd, now in Washington, will assume overall command of the expedi- ton.

NEW 1O1G6A.
Jack Benny, on the thres-
hold of becoming a grand
father, has made momentous
announcement.
Benny, aged 80 for more
years than anyone cares to
remember, revealed for the
first time in an interview here
in his suite at the st. Regis
Hotel, that next year he will
60 to 40.
"It has nothing to do with
my becoming a grandfather"
said Benny. II just think I've
gotten about enough mileage
out Of that gag"
On Sunday. February IL,
1856, on his CHS Nationwide
television show, Benny will
mark the historic occasion
with a birthday party and a
birthday cake-and presents,
he hopes.
The celebration will be two
days earlier than his actual
birthday, which is February IA.
However, it is indeed mo-
ment to anticipate with poig-
nant sadness. In this turbu-
lent word of chaos and change,
there is little to which one can
hold. Up to now, there was
at least one security, that Jack
Benny, the Ponce de Leon Of
radio and television, would
stay 80.
A relaxed, agreeable man.
with astute blue eyes and
enormous poise, he yawned
through a warm Saturday aft
ernoon in mid-Manhattan and
spoke about his plans for the
coming summer.
He Likes TV Now
"I'm tired" he said. "1've
been working hard and there's
q lot of work ahead. I'm going
back to the Coast now and
we'll spend the month of June
filming some of next years
television shows"
He said he much prefers to
do the television shows live,
but he plans to do about six
or eight on film so that if he
wants to get away for a couple
Of weeks during the winter.
he's free to do 1t.
Benny, after 20 some years
IN radio, is now very partial to
television, although when he
first made friends with this
new medium. he didn't much
like it.
He disagrees with his old
feuding partner, Fred Allen,
that radio is dead. One of the
very few big radio stars to
stay on in radio, Benny con-
tinues to do his Sunday night
radio show in the same COM
Portable, familiar formal.
After spending an indus
trious month of June on the
Coast, the Bennys will return
to New York in July, accom-
panied by their closest friends.

He said that this is the first
summer he has not made any
personal appearances. but
with the television shows to
put on fllm, and the coming
Of the baby, it turned out to
be impossible.

have a lot of fun with the
Burnses. They're wonderful
people, just wonderful. George
and I are bringing our golf
clubs. Oracle and Mary will
shop. probably for small gar
ments."
Mrs. Benny. nee Mary Liv-
ingstone, will appear on some
of Benny's filmed TV shows
next year, but Benny said she
is just too nervous about do
ing live televiSion.
Apparently nobody else in
New York or Hollywood feels
any nervousness about appear
ing on the Jack Benny show.
Numerous stars-Claudette
Colbert. Barbara Stanwyck,
Jimmy Stewart, Humphrey
Bogart, Marilyn Monroe-all
made their television debut on
Benny's show.
1--WE have a good time doing
the show. They know 1t will
be fun" said Mr.. Benny,
casually dismissing the reason
why so many established per-
formers prefer to make their
television debut in his COM
pany.
Always in Good Taste
A colleague Of Mr.. Benny's
was heard from.
. "1t's very simple why no.
body is afraid to go on Jacks
show" he said. Its because
everybody knows he won't hog
all the good lines for himself.
They all know that, to make
the most of the show. Jack
will probably throw them the
best lines.
Another thing, he'll never
do anything that isn't in good
taste. So many comedians
don't care how ridiculous other
people look, so long as they're
funny"
Mr.. Benny bowed deeply and
said, You're very kind"
Suave and sure of manner,
Benny is the antithesis of the
tightwad, defensive, petulant
character he has created for
himself these many years.
In private conversation,
Benny uses none of the ex-
quisite pauses which so typify
his character. In a much mod
fed way, some of his familiar
infections are the same, but
to add to the shattering dis
illusionment of the afternoon,
not once, not even once, did
he pause, stare coldly and say:
"Well!"
Forty years old, indeed!
