She had as much attention as any actress has ever had, and she was on her way to being a mil- lionairess. She was also miserably unhappy.

Her three marriages had brought her no lasting love and no babies. She was in top demand as a star, but not as an actress, which wu what she wanted, and even her desirability as a star was in not because the public had lost interest in her, but because of her lack of self-discipline.

But all this has gone down on the record and has been reviewed again to clarify the tragic riddle: How anyone so apparently successful might find the continuance of life so unappealing. What was her legacy? She left behind a small collection of work, much of it very good with her limitations.

British Home Secretary Henry Brooks has ordered El Al to complete Soblen's trip to the United States before Wednesday night. But Israel's cabinet reaffirmed Sunday its stand that if Soblen is placed aboard an El Al plane, he will be flown to Israel.

In Washington, State Department spokesman Lincoln White was asked at his news conference what the department thinks about the dispute between Israel and Britain and about the Israeli government decision to fly Soblen back to Israel. "The matter is now up to British law. I have no comment," White said. He refused to comment on whether the State Department thinks the Israeli government has changed its mind or whether it gave any explanation for its or der to El Al not to fly Soblen to New York. White also declined to answer a question on whether there is diplomatic contact between Wash ington and Jerusalem concerning the Soblen case.

He said no. "I asked if he wanted to talk to the pastor and he nodded yes.

By BRACK CURRY STOCKHOLM Sherri Finkbine sees a Swedish doctor today, seeking speedy abortion of the baby she fears has been deformed by the drug thalidomlde. Dr. Karl-Inge Oester of the Royal Medical Board said a "penetrating investigation of the reasons" must precede any official approval of the operation.

Other Swedish medical sources said the Phoenix, television personality might have to stay in Sweden at least two or three weeks. Doctors at Stockholm's Caroline Hospital are expected to handle the case. After examinations and a study of statements by Mrs. Finkblne's American physicians, they could recommend for or against the abortion. The medical board will make the final decision.

"I am hoping and praying that the Swedish medical men will be able to help me quickly," Mrs. Finkbine said when she arrived Sunday with her husband, Robert. "What people forget," she told newsmen in Copenhagen, "Is that it is beginning to be more of a baby to me every day. I want it Winds Cause Heavy Damage In Minnesota By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Winds up to 96 miles an hour pounded west central Minnesota early today causing extensive property damage. Roofs were peeled from buildings, crops flattened and hundreds of trees uprooted.

Heaviest damage occurred in the Douglas Todd Wadena county area. No injuries were reported. While reports of a tornado cloud at Alexandria could not be verified, persons in hardest hit areas said the storm had all the earmarks of a funnel strike. Torrential rain whipped by the powerful wind prevented observers from sighting a funnel cloud. Heavy damage occurred in Alexandria where a large section of roof was blown off a new motel, airplanes and hangars damaged at the airport and many trees uprooted, blocking streets.

The Alexandria airport wind gauge registered a top blow of 96 m.p.h. No one was injured when the roof section covering 10 units at the Viking Motel was blown away, but some, guests were pinned in their rooms because of wind pressure outside their doors.

Playwright Arthur Miller, Marilyn's third husband, declined comment at his home in Conn. He said only that he hadnH decided "whether to go to Hollywood (for the funeral)."

Her mother, an inmate of mental institutions for most of her life, was last confined to a home in nearby La Crescenta. Marilyn, who had shifted for herself since early childhood, was known to have made a will outlining plans for her own burial. A business associate said that it had not been found yet and funeral arrangements were pending until its discovery expected later today.

Dimaggio hopped on the first plane leaving San Francisco for Los Angeles after hearing of her death via a radio bulletin. He was in in a Santa Monica hotel. Though Marilyn divorced him in 1955, the two had remained good friends. Playing wright Arthur Miller, the actress' third husband, said at his home in Roxbury, his ex-wife's death "was a shock." He said he hadn't decided "whether to go to Hollywood (for the funeral)." "It had to don't know when or how, but it was inevitable," he was quoted as saying of Miss Monroe's death. Miller became Miss Monroe's third husband in 1956 and they were divorced last year.

Meanwhile, the coroner's investigators prepared a series of tests to officially determine whether the 36-year-old actress accidentally or intentionally took the overdose of pills that investigators believe killed her. Coroner Theodore J. Curphey said psychiatric evidence would play an important part in the verdict. "We will question her friends and others to determine her mood preceding death," the coroner said. "This is most necessary in a case where no notes were found with the body.

"Our investigation so far shows that she did not die a naturaJ death, and we can make a presumptive opinion that death was due to an overdose of a drug." He said it might be 48 hours before a verdict can be announced. Thus in death the screen's sex goddess left behind the same mysterious personality contrast she evinced in life. As Marilyn Monroe, movie star, she was under a public microscope exciting, wanted and mobbed by adoring fans. Her more than a score of movies since her first big break in "The Asphalt Jungle" of 1950 had grossed $200 millions, At the banks that finance mov ies, her name on a contract meant unlimited credit for a producer. Only her last two movies, "Let's Make Love" and Misfits," had been disappointing at the box- office fact which distressed her.

She seemed happy as Marilyn Monroe, the star, with the spotlights beaming brightly. But when the lights went off in her lonely bedroom, Marilyn Monroe, the sex symbol, was Norma Jean Baker, lost waif in a lost world. Her childhood was as publicized as that of the nation's presidents. Every movie fan knew the details tragic as her death: The unwanted and unloved waif, boarded at county expense in a variety of foster homes. a little girl who washed mountains of dirty dishes and scrubbed acres of dirty floors.

her little girl body violated by a lecherous roomer in a foster home. her illegitimacy by a father she never saw. a mother she seldom saw outside of mental homes. All the while dreaming of becoming a movie star and, when she did, her insecure childhood failed to cushion her against the shocking Insecurity of the Hollywood jungle. Friends said she was distraught in recent weeks over being fired from the film.

"1 tied a blanket around my middle as I was still bleedinu, and crawled around to find the child. Then wrapped a futon (a mattress-like pad) around us both, and crawled out of the broken house. There were fires all around, so I ran for the Ota River." At this point, the father, a year-old foundryman, speaking in a low voice, took up the story. "I was mixed up, stunned by my hurting head, but I remembered the children outside, found Yaeko crying, but she ran away from me. I was covered with blood, and she didn't, know me.

Finally, I caught her. "I could not find Hlroml, so to get away from the fires all round, We ran to the river." Three days later, they found Hlromi's body burled under debris, still clasping a doll. The hours and days that followed were filled with scenes of indescribable horror for the Tomi- tas and the other survivors. Recalling the devastation of Aug. 6, 1945, a question arose: "What do you do after such an inferno?" Tomita smiled.

"We just pick up the pieces. One tries to live." Hiroshimans have built well. The city that rose phoenix-like from its ashes has grown to a bustling metropolis of 465,000. The two older Tomita completed their schooling and Sakaye, now 25, is married and lives near here. Yaeko, 22, works for a rubber company and lives with the family.

Hiroko, "the atom bomb child," Is studying for her exams at Hiroshima business school. She has two years to go. Do the Tomitas feel any bitterness over the bomb? Mrs. Tomita replied: "No, we understand it was a necessary part of war. It could not be helped.

But we do not want war again. We must find ways to live without this awful thing!" How will the Tomitas celebrate Hiroko's birthday? They will not join in any mass demonstrations against nuclear weapons, such as occur annually here on Aug. 6 when throngs chant, "No more A-bombs'f and agitators seek to whip up disarmament sentiment in the World Peace Memorial Park.
