I Carol's on By Cynthia Lowry CAROL BURNETT, gently but firmly pushed out of that warm, secure nest of The Gary Moore Show, still isn't accustomed to being on her own. She still isn't sure she likes it. "I did my last show as a 'regular' on Garry's show last spring," she reflected soberly, "and my time has been pretty weli filled. I spent the summer on tour with my own show; I've been to California three times about making a picture, done a Jack Benny show and been a guest with Garry four or five times this season. "But I still haven't gotten accustomed to it I still don't like it very much.

I really like a regular schedule." The year 1963 will be one of decision for the slim, auburn haired young comedienne. On Feb. 24 she will be the star in her own CBS special, "Carol and Company." After a trip to Tahoe in Nevada with the Garry Moore troupe, she will go to Hollywood for her first motion picture, with Dean Martin. It's "Who's Been Sleeping, in My Bed?" She describes the movie as a spoof of TV's medical shows. "Elizabeth Montgomery is the girl in the story," related Carol mournfully, "and I play the psychoanalyst's assistant the heart-of-gold type.

I'll be a sort of combination of Thelma Ritter, Eve Arden and Phil Silvers And after that there's another TV special, "Calamity Jane," followed by the most excitine venture nf all- own Broadway show. Carol, a modest, rather shy girl, still marvels at What she insists is luck. The show, "A Girl to Remember," will be fashioned around her special comedy and singing talents by a team of experts. The career of the San Antonio-born, Hollywood-reared 28-year-old comedienne-singer shot off like a meteor Cet of eight special comedy shows. Judy Garland, who has been doing one or two specials a season, is to undertake a weekly musical, variety, and comedy series.

Miss Garland will do a special on Tuesday, March 19 on CBS with Silvers and Robert Goulet as guests. Joey Bishop Is to preside over an hour long comedy-variety series next fall and Bill Dana Jose Jimenez of the Steve Allen and Danny Thomas show is to preside over a new comedy hour. The schedule of new shows for the three networks, insofar as it is settled, follows. First, on ABC: Sunday night will be mostly new: The Travels of Jamie McPheeters; 7:30 Arrest and Trial, a new crime series; The Roosevelt Years tentative, Monday: 7:30 Wagon Train, presumably slated here to compete with the strong lineup comedy shows on CBS; 9 Breaking Point, a series about psychiatry. Tuesday: 8 Ready for the People, a Warner Brothers show about a district attorney; 9 Mr.

Kingston, a serial story starring Walter Pid-geon. Wednesday: 8 The Greatest Show on Earth, a Desilu package about circus life; 9 The Young and the Bold, a Music Corporation of America package. Thursday: 7:30 Archie, a new series; 8 The Fugitive, a United Artists production. Friday: 6:30 Stand-by, a Phil Silvers The Night By Walfer Oleksy 'ACK Benny and I were shot at on one of our USO tours of Germany in the last war and the worst of it was, our own soldiers were doing the shooting. They darn near killed us!" "Liltin' Martha Tilton, the songbird of swing time and an old favorite on radio, told us the story in a recent interview, adding that she will do a guest appearance on Benny's CBS-TV show Feb.

26 on channel 2, when they will recreate some of their camp show material all but the gunfire. The time was early June, 1945, a few short weeks after the Germans surrendered to the Allies. The place was the hinterlands of battle-scarred Germany, wherever allied troops were billeted. The action took place along a country road in the dark of night as the big, black, unmarked German touring car sped on toward an isolated GI post. In the car were Benny, Miss Tilton, harmonica virtuoso Larry Adler, and Ingrid Bergman.

"It was around midnight and we were all tired from putting on a show that day," recalled Miss Tilton. "Our driver was wasting no time getting us to the next camp, where we were to get some nice comfortable army cots for the night. "We were approaching a town near the camp when we heard the gunfire at our backs. A GI sentry had yelled at our driver to stop for an inspection, but none of us heard him. As we drove past Hold Opera Final auditions of the Illinois Opera Guild Audition of the Air will take place on the stage of the Civic Opera House tomorrow afternoon.

Twenty-two young operatic singers who have been heard on WGN-Radio each Sunday afternoon for the past 13 weeks will be judged and awarded prizes totaling a new Jack Webb venture. Friday: 6:30 The Free and the Brave, John Houseman's new history series. Saturday: 6:30 Jackie Gleason, after much hesitation, has decided to return for' another season.

m. iN NBC: Sunday's one un 0' certainty is Car 54, Where Are You? It may be replaced with another entry at 7:30 p.m. Monday is uncertain from 6:30 to 9.

I laughed at the idea but admitted that my mother probably still had the uniform tucked away in her attic in Los Angeles. "Sure enough she found it, and you know what? I still fit into it. I swear. 20 vears and three children later it didn't need a stitch of alteration. They made those uniforms to last." Martha lives in Los Angeles now, where she has appeared as featured vocalist on the daily Curt Massey TV show and earlier on radio for the last 14 years.

She was the darling of the Dig Dand circuit across the country from 1938 to 1941 when she toured with the Benny Goodman orchestra She joined the band shortly after finishing high school, and hit the big time as the original "Miss" of Goodman's "Three Hits and a Miss" vocal group. Martha gives some good advice to young singers who want to become top vocalists. "Sing anywhere you can and as often as you can. Develop a style." Would she want her daughter age 8 to be a singer someday? "I'd love her to be a singer, if she had the talent. I'm all for it.

It's marvelous to sing, and make your living at it." AT Danny Kaye United Artists hour-long series starring Leslie Stevens; 8 Jimmy Dean's new hour-long live show.

Thursday's schedule is still unsettled possibilities are: 8 The Wardan, a new prison series; 9 Giant Step, Judy Garland They Shot Jack Benny, Martha Tilton, the sentry post the GIs let loose with the buckshot. "We all hit the floor and Larry yelled, 'I'm We were petrified.

"The driver stopped and in no time at all the GIs realized their mistake. We couldn't blame them, even if the back of our car was riddled with bullets. "We went to Larry right away, but it was all right. He wasn't shot. One of the bullets had gone thru the back of the car and broke a spring under Larry's seat.

It was the spring that hit Larry, and he shot up like a rocket. He was a mighty lucky guy." MARTHA can laugh now about that and other war time experiences with the Benny troupe, altho they were often grim at the time. She toured with Benny in Germany for three months in 1945 and again three months in the South Pacific the year before. "The TV show we're doing brought back a lot of memo- Guild Finals 500.

At an audition she mimicked Eartha Kitt singing "Monotonous," which won her some summer stock jobs and some TV appearances. But the real kickoff came when she sang "I Fell in Love with John Foster Dulles" on a Jack Paar show an amusing number that delighted the then secretary of state, who asked that it be repeated on the show.

Then followed other guest-starring shots and in the spring of 1959, she opened in an off Broadway musical, "Once Upon a Mattress," which was such a hit it moved into the big theatrical time. Three years as a regular on The Garry Moore Show pushed her to the top of the nation's TV favorites. "This may be an exciting time but to tell you the truth, I'm scared stiff."
