home about 7 a.m. PDT. In tears,she turned to a crowd of photog-raphers on the lawn and said:

"Keep shooting, vultures."She then saw a reporter she

knew, ran to him and kissed andhugged him, saying:

The two flops in a row madeMiss Monroe a, big f inancial riskto Hollywood moneymen—espe-cially in this era of high produc-tion costs, when her lateness andabsence were not appreciated by

do you do?"DiMaggio, who spends much

time here, had seen Miss Monroefa i r ly often recently and therewas some talk of a possible re>peat marriage.

Her other dates had includedGarner McKay and Frank Sin-atra. But Sinatra's at tention wastha t of a concerned older friend;he was worried about her eversince she got fired from themovie "Something's Got to Give"for (ailing to show up for herscenes. She claimed illness.

"Wrong-Door Raid" RecalledIronically. Sinatra and DiMag-

Rio once took part together in afamous "wrong-door raid" inwhich the two friends tried toget divorce evidence againstMiss Monroe when she wasmarried to the ex-baseballer.

The actress, \vho gained suddenfame from a nude calender pic-ture , rose from the depths of amiserable childhood— in whichshe was shunted from one fosterhome lo another— to become themovies' top blonde glamor girlsince Jean Harknv, who died atthe age of 26.

Her stocks-in-trade were avoluptuous figure combined withan almost innocent face; abreathless, gushy way of speak-ing; an avoidance of under-gar-ments, and an inability to getanywhere on time.

Friends said her lateness stem-med from a severe insecurity—the result of her childhood, herextreme poverty, the failure ofher three marriages and her in-ability to have a child, her mostcherished dream; she found itextremely difficult to prepareherself to meet any occasionthat demanded anything of her.

It was this inability to get her-self "up" to deliver her talentwhich insiders say was the realtrouble she had in meeting her"Something's Got to Give" com-mitments . The picture was shelv-ed after she was fired and herco-star. Dean Martin, refused towork with a proposed substitutefor her.

Sinatra "Brotherly"It was at this juncture that

Sinatra's almost-brotherly inter-est in her became apparent. Shewas his guest at his new hotelat Lake Tahoe, Nev, Not longago, she was out in a party therewith actor Peter Lav/ford, broth-er-in-law of President Kennedy.

Friends of Miss Monroe unan-mously felt her death was an ac-cident; they said she would havelefl a nole if she intended locommit suicide. And they point-ed to specific evidence that her

-career- was on the upswing again.For one thing, her home was

"She was depressed," said Mr.Julius. "Being fired from themovie, you know. Very depressedbecause of that. You could tell."

At the death home today, policemaintained a watch, and a pri-vate guard was to be hired later.About 20 newsmen and photogra-phers were on hand when thebody was removed. A sign wasput on the door by officials ,which said:

"Any person breaking into orentering these premises will beprosecuted to the fullest extent ofthe law."

piloted Marilyn through 'Let'sMake Love" and who was direct-ing "Something's Got to Give.'said:

"I just can't think. It's infin-ilely sad. Very tragic."

Cukor said there had beensome talk of resuming produc-lion on the picture, but nothingwas definite.

"I don't think the actual dis-appointment of the film led herinto this," he said. "I thlnlc shehad these problems all her lifewhich she' Iried to conquer.

Actor Joseph Gotten, who co-starred with Marilyn in "Niag-ara" In 1953, couldn't believe herdeath.

founded the famed New Yorkactor's studio where Miss Mon-roe studied acting during her lal-er years, took Ihe loss of theirstudent and friend very hard.

"It Is difficult to speak publiclyon this occasion," Strasbergtelephoned Hollywood friends ashe prepared to fly to Hollywoodfor the funeral .

"For us, Mari lyn was a de-voted friend, a colleague, a mem-aer of our family. . .11 is difficultto accept the fact that her zest-ful l i fe has been ended by thisdreadful accident."

is not granted emergency status,she shook her head.

"I hate to think of it," shesaid. "So many things have beenclosed to us.

"But five American doctorsthought an immediate abortionabortion necessary. Why shouldthey think otherwise here?"

Dr. Karl Oester. head of theState Medical board's Abortionbureau, has made it clear thatonly evidence Mrs. Finkbine isunder dangerous mental stresswill induce his office to authorizean emergency operation. Suchan operation could be performedin about a week.

X.Rays May Be RequiredOtherwise, she may have to

The Kinkbines flew in fromLos Angeles with a stopover atCopenhagen, 'where (he motherof four was greeted by a crowdlarger than the one that gather-ed to see former vice presidentRichard M. Nixon last month.

Smiling wanly, Mrs. Finkbinetold newsmen she already hascontacted a Swedish xvoman doc-tor who wil l confirm her preg-nancy. This is the first step be-fore the Medical board will en-tertain an abortion application.

"I feel the people of Swedenwill be sympathetic." Mrs. Fink-bine said in a low voice. "I amdetermined to go through withthis operation."

According to Dr. Oesler, theFinkbines will have to follownormal procedure. After the wo-man doctor makes he reports,Mrs. Finkbine will be instructedto go to Caroline hospital forstudies of her mental and physi-cal condition.

It is on the basis of the hospi-tal report that Dr. Oester's com-mittee will decide whether to ap-prove an abortion.

Mrs. Finkbine's voice trailedoff , apparently because of fa-tigue. "E.xcuse me," she said.

I am so nervous."She was asked if she believed

she will be able to get an opera-tion in Sweden quickly.

"We just came in hope," shereplied. "We are prepared towait."

Ships, Planes WarnedThe Soviet Defense ministry

has warned foreign ships andplanes to stay out of the Bar-ents and Kara seas area duringIhc maneuvers, from Aug. 5 loOcl. 20.' The several hundred-square mile maneuver area In-cludes Novaya Zemla.

Markus Baath, seismologist atUppsala's institute, said the newtest over. Novaya Zemlya wastouched off at 0:08 GMT (5:08a.m. EST).

While the statement placed Ihcforce of lhe blast at 40 mega-tons, this was not confirmed bythe Atomic Energy commissionin Washington. A brief commis-sion statement said merely "theSoviet Union detonated a nuclearweapon in the megaton range."

It was recalled the U. S. com-mission placed the Soviet super-bomb of last Oct. 30 in the 50-megaton range, after first Swe-dish reports put it in the 100-megaton category.

Khrushchev announced May 16the Soviet Union would resumenuclear testing, saying: "We areforced to renew our tests be-cause, despite our appeals, theAmericans did not refrain fromrenewing theirs."

What Khruschev did not saywas the United States resumednuclear tests in the atmosphereApril 25 because the Soviet Un-ion broke a lest moralorium lastSept. 1 with a series of about j50 shols. ;

To counter Soviet weapon ad-vances made in the series lastfal l , the United States conducted27 shots in the Christmas Islandarea of the Pacific from Aprilto July. While this series is end-ed, the United Slates expects tomake another high-altilude shot,or more. They have made fourattempts but only one, on July9, was successful.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5 (AP)—The United States today calledRussian resumption of atmospher-ic nuclear testing "a somberepisode" but made clear a newseries will not alter U.S. deter-mination to seek a lest ban.

A State department state-ment didn't touch on the pos-sibility that a new Sovietseries might force still anoth-er round of aerial blasts bythis nation. But It said;

"The urgent problem be-fore the world is not whotests last, but how we canrid Ihe world of nuclear test-ing once and for all."The United States is just con

eluding a series of atmospherictests prompted by the Russiantests of last fa l l which brokelong, informal moratorium.

Today's resumption of Soviettesting came as no surprise sincePremier Khrushchev had saidhe planned more tests assuit of the U.S. series. PresidentKennedy has said that an analysisof results obtained by the Russians in any new series woulddetermine whether this nationwil l be forced into another seriesof ils own.

Atmospheric testing itself posesno detection problems but, upto now, there has been no wayto differentiate positively be-tween earth shocks caused byearthquakes and those caused byunderground nuclear explosions.

At one point, in 1958, the So-viet Union agreed tentatively tolimited on-site inspection but sincethen its attitude has hardenedand it has rejected the whole con-cept of on-site mspection — onthe ground that any inspectorswould be merely spies.

Recent scientific developmentshave indicated positive identifi-cation of underground shocks maybe possible. On this basis, it hasbeen anticipated that the Westwould offer a revised program,probably involving less on-siteInspection that previously was re-garded as essential.

However, President Kennedyhas made clear that the SovietUnion must accept the principleof some on-site Inspection beforethis country can offer »ny con-cessions on Its earlier proposals.
