grieving widow and her nurse.

HOLLYWOOD
Mr.. Payne Comes Back
By BOB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD (AP). =
March /, John Payne started
across a New York street to
visit the apartment of friends.
Seconds later, he was lying
on the pavement yards away,
his face slashed, his eyes filled
with glass, his skull dented and
his left leg broken in five
places.
Today his handsome face
seems unchanged except for a
straight scar across his chin.
He still wears a steel brace to
support his mending leg, but
he expects to get rid of it in a
couple of months.
Payne's comeback is a tri-
butte to surgeons skill and his
own will to survive. His injuries
and the loss of blood-"I left
about three quarts on the
pavement"-placed him on the
critical list. Within "a hours
he was in the clear.
AHA
II got it," he said. There
were six doctors working on
me-a team of three on the
leg, two on the face and one
on the head"
I wondered If he felt concern
about his face, since it is an
actors meal ticket.
"At a time like that. you
only think about survival" he
replied. After that, my princi-
pal concern was my children"
He has a daughter by his mar
riage to Anne Shirley, a son
and daughter by his marriage
to Gloria DeHaven.
H&h
His wife Sandy hurried to
his side and sat out the anxious
hours while his face was
patched together, the leg set
and the glass picked out of his
eyes.
For a few days I could see
nothing but a glimmer of
light" he said. But they did
a wonderful job. They thought
at first that my head was bro
ken, but it wasn't. Just dented
in four places"
Payne had to remain in a
chest-high cast until two weeks
ago. Then he was given the
brace that makes him more
maneuverable.
What has the whole expert
ence taught him?

The actor never saw the car
that hit him. 1t was driven by
q 21-year-old research analyst
who said he didn't see Payne
In the twilight rain, either.
II knew when I became con-
scious on the street that I was
hurt, but I didn't know how
badly" Payne recalled. Il was
all alone; a boy was running
toward me. I felt my arms, my
ribcage, my pelvis; all seemed
okay. Then I saw my leg. 1t

BUFFALO, N. Y, May "a
A newly established council tt
define the program of the pro-
posed National Presbyterian
Church and Center in Wash
ington was authorized by the
general assembly of the United
Presbyterian Church, o. S. A..
yesterday.
This action was followed by
an announcement that Gen
Dwight D. Eisenhower has ac-
cepted the honorary chairman
ship Of the Sponsors Commit
tee Of the project. The former
President, a member of the
Washington congregation while
in the White House, has since
transferred to First Presby-
terian Church of Gettysburg
Pa. where he now makes his
home.
Co-chairmen Of the National
Presbyterian Church and
Center Sponsors Committee are
Henry Luce. publisher of Time
and Life magazines, and DR..
Paul Wolfe, pastor of Brick
Presbyterian Church, New York.
Between 100000 to 100000
still remains to be paid on the
1872 acres at Ward circle NV,
with the first goal now to COM
plete payment by the end of
this year. Approval of this step
was included in the resolution.
Few Opposition Votes
Three questions concerning
the project were answered in
the overture and led many who
were previously opposed to the
project to withdraw their OBJ
jections. The resolution carried
with few noes.
The three points raised and
the answers we're:
/. A charge that the new
church and center would have
a cathedral image" The over
ture said this is neither i'm
plicitly nor explicitly recon-
mended in the report"
2. Investment for physical
facilities. 1t pointed out that
no capital investment in ia
cilities should be considered
until the general assembly has
established objectives and pro-
grams" But the statement did
affirm that the sponsoring
committee should continue its
work.
3. Relationship Of a particu-
lar church with the total
general assembly program in
Washington" The overture di-
rected that a study be made
of the overall general assembly
program in Washington and
its relationship to an individual
congregation.
An effort was made from the
floor to have a figure set for
the project but it was defeated
on the grounds this would
handicap the study to be made
by the new council. In the past

In 1853, the United States

the International Monetary

President Arturo Frondizi on
an economic stabilization pro-

claims about the safety and ef-
