Miss Benaderet was in great demand as a top flight character actress before she be came, the star of "Petticoat Junction" as Kate Bradley, the widowed mother of three teen-aged daughters and operator of a small rural hotel. The se-, ries began in 1963. MISS BENADERET Was born in New York City and moved to San Francisco with her parents when she was four years old. She graduated from St. Rose Academy in San Francisco and then got her formal training as an actress at the Reginald Travis School of Acting.

After radio work in San Francisco, she migrated to Hollywood in 1936 and first achieved fame as Gertrude Gearshift, the Brooklyn telephone operator on the "Jack Benny Program." She had an especially versatile voice and it was heard on various radio shows such as "The Great Gildersleeve" as N.Y.Jews Protest At Russ U.N. Mission New York (AP) About 1,000 Jews demonstrated yesterday outside the Soviet mission to the United Nations, protesting alleged mistreat" ment of Jews in Russia. Police kept the demonstrators behind barriers and there were no incidents. The demonstration was preceded by a rally In Central Park, with sinking, dancing and speeches. Columbus.

Clarence Darrow, the fam ous criminal attorney, once said there was no Santa Claus. Musmanno, then a county judge, issued a legal opinion declaring Santa Claus did exist and anyone speaking to the contrary "will be committed to the Bastile, there to be kept tn dungeon vile until his soul expands and the spirit of Christmas enters therein." After serving in both world wars, Musmanno was ap pointed to the commission established to certify the death of Adolph Hitler and also was one of the American prosecu tors of the war criminals at Nuremberg. He retired from the Navy reserve as a rear admiral. BACHELORHOOD left Musmanno with much free time for writing. He authored 12 books.

Two of the books were made into a movie, "Black Fury," and "The Last Ten Days," recounting the death of Adolph Hitler. In 1931, Musmanno became the youngest judge in the state. He was elevated to the stat supreme court in 1952 and was in line for promotion to chief justice at the time of his death. As a jurist, he wrote prolific opinions. Once, commenting on the arguments of a lawyer, he said: "These are all suppositions, sprouting from the tree of ad vocacy which, without the substance of facts to support them, can only wither on the bare limbs of argumentation." Musmanno is survived by a brother, four sisters, seven nephews and three nieces.

Burial will be in Arlington National Cemetery.

Hospital officials al Hines, who fought the Indians in the West as a young officer, died a few days after getting a respiratory infection that developed into pneumonia. He had lived, in the hospital since 1966.

The tall, gaunt Hines was described on his efficiency report signed by Gen. John J. Pershing at the end of World War I as "Number one on the list of general officers known to me." He later succeeded Persh ing as Army Chief of Staff In 1924, serving for two years under President Calvin CoO' lidge. It was during his term that Gen. Billy Mitchell, the original advocate of modern air power, was court-marialed But Hines was primarily a field commander, who had won the Silver Star for gallantry at Santiago, Cuba, during the Spanish-American War.

He disliked the paperwork, desks and ceremonial duties and the speeches connected with his job as Army chief.

He served as commander of the 4th Army Division in the battle of St.

Mihiel, and won the Distinguished Service Cross for gallantry southwest of Soissons in 1918. A citation accompanying this award described how Gen. Hines "personally went through terrific artillery fire to the front lines, and en couraged the troops by his example of fearlessness on a mission to link up two units which had become separated The citation said that his action enabled the unit to join in BEA BENADERET Eve Goodwin; on "Fibber Mc Gee and Molly" as Mrs. Car-stairs: and on "The Adven- tures of Ozzie and Harriet" as Gloria, the maid. MORE RECENTLY her voice was heard as Betty Rubble on "The Flintstones" and as Wil ma In the "Peter Loves Mary" series.

For eight years she was fea-tured as the next-door neigh bor on the "Burns and Allen Show" on Television. Her illness did not dampen her enthusiasm for her career, In February when she returned from the Stanford Med ical Center she said she planned to "put my house in order." Then, she said, "1 will spend as much of my vacation time as is possible with my family, travel a bit and 111 look forward to returning to the tele vision series next season." The family planned a public memorial service but details were not complete.
