Martin returned to California for a series of less-than-memorable movie musicals and married story editor Richard Halllday In 1940. He later became her manager. They had one daughter, Heller. After touring as Annie Oakley in the national company of Annie Your Gun, Martin was chosen in 1949 by Joshua Logan, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammer-stein II to star opposite Ezio Pinza in their musical, Sour7 Pacific. As Nellie Forbush, the naive Army nurse from Little Rock, Martin sang some of Rodgers and Hammersteln's most buoyant and warm-hearted songs, including A Cockeyed Optimist, I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair and I'm In Love with a Wonderful Guy.

She won a Tony award for her performance the first of three she received. Peter Pan, which opened on Broadway on Oct. 20, 1954, had a relatively short Broadway run, but It was immortalized on television. The musical, which also starred Cyril Ritchard as Capt. Hook, was televised live on NBC in 1955 and was done again live in '56.

Martin won an Emmy for her Peter Pan. NBC taped Peter Pan In 1960 and has shown it four times since. The Sound of Music, which opened on Broadway in November 1959, was a star vehicle for Martin, who played the Irrepressible postulant Maria. Rodgers and Hammersteln wrote an original score that included My Favorite Things and Do-Re-Mi. The show ran more than three years.

Halllday died in 1973, years after the couple retired to their huge ranch in Brazil. Martin eventually sold the ranch and bought a place on Martha's Vineyard and another In the California desert. She later worked two years as co-host of Over Easy, a public TV series for, senior citizens. In 1989, Martin planned a national tour in Grovers Corners, a musical version of Our Town.

Yisrael Levy led deadly hotel attack ASSOCIATED PRESS Jerusalem Yisrael Levy, an underground fighter in Israel's struggle for Independence who carried out the 1946 bombing of a Jerusalem hotel that killed 91 people, has died. He was 64. Levy died Friday and was burled the same day, according to a death notice in the press. The cause of death was not given.

Levy belonged to Irgun Zval Leumi, the militant Jewish underground that, led by Menachem Begin, fought the British for independence in the 1940s. Irgun carried out dozens of attacks on British army, government and police tar; gets. Its deadliest operation was the bombing of the King David, a luxury six-story hotel that housed the British Government Secretariat and army headquarters. The Jerusalem-born Levy, who Joined Irgun at 14 and used the nom de guerre of Gideon, was entrusted with the mission, having already participated in a bombing of British police headquarters In Jerusalem In 1945. On the morning of July 22, 1946, Levy and his accomplices entered the La Regence Cafe in the hotel basement dressed as Arabs and planted milk cans packed with 500 pounds of explosives.

Levy was reportedly disguised as a Sudanese waiter. No customers were In the cafe. The attackers locked La Regence's 1 5 Arab workers in a side room and set the timers to go off 30 minutes later. Two British officers who entered the cafe clashed with the attackers and one officer was shot and killed, while the other was wounded. The bloodbath resulted in "days of pain and nights of sorrow" for the Irgun, Begin wrote in his memoirs.

The attack haunted Levy for years, according to friends of his quoted in the dally Yedloth Ahron-oth. Levy stayed with the Irgun until it was disbanded In 1 948, the year Israel won statehood. He later became a stationery store owner and lived a quiet life In suburban Tel Aviv. Indiana Deaths Bloomington Carroll L. Tur-mall, 82, husband of Dortha Thompson Turmall.

Four years ago my hus- band suddenly moved out, divorcing me and telling me he had found another woman and didn't love me anyway. It was a total shock, and has been a very hard and painful time, but with God's help I am getting over It. My question Is this: Is there anything In the Bible that would prevent me from remarrying? I am a Christian and want to do what Is right, but I yearn to be married to a loving Christian husband. Mrs. G.S.

A Whenever I answer any questions about divorce I always want to begin by saying that God still takes the marriage vow very seriously. He gave marriage to us, and the marriage vow Is not to be dissolved or broken casually although our society has, by and large, forgotten this truth. Jesus' words still express God's perfect will: "Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate" (Matthew At the same time, divorce Is a reality for many people today, and God understands the heartbreak and pain you have experienced, "As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed" (Psalm Although Christians have sometimes disagreed about remarriage after divorce, from what you say I find nothing In the Bible that would prevent you from remarrying. In cases of desertion, the Apostle Paul Indicates, "A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances" (1 Corinthians 7:15) a verse which most Bible scholars understand as permitting remarriage In this case. Seek God's will for your future.

He loves you, and He wants what is best for you. Write to Billy Graham, The Indianapolis Star, in care of Tribune Media Services, 720 North Orange Avenue, Orlando, Fla. 32801. Trlbunt Mtdii Sirvlc Christmas is no time have empty pockets. Fill them with earnings from a Star route.
