Allies Have Power, Just Weld It: Ike By RUTH MONTGOMERY INS Reporter WASHINGTON President Eisenhower's electrifying free world toast to Elizabeth II cast an aura of added excite ment today over the Queen's gala garden party for 2,700 lucky elite. Around the Canopied bars at the British Embassy late to day, diplomats and congress men huddling with the social 400 will discuss Ike's stirring admonition and his ringing words of comfort to a harassed Western world. "The free world is engaged in a great struggle but we have the power.

The only thing to do is to put it to gether," the President told his nearly 150 dinner guests last night as he raised his glass to the petite Queen. "Our scientists must work together. NATO should not be thought of merely as a mili tary alliance. NATO is a way of grouping ability of our manhood, our resources, of our industries and our factories. At the heart and foundation of all of this, the English-speaking people march forward together." The toast to the beautiful monarch who has known Gen eral Ike since her teens presaged closer working ties with Britain, it should prove a happy omen for Elizabeth's Prime Minister Harold Mac- millan, who flies- here next Wednesday for an all-important meeting with the President.

"Just a minute," Mr. Eisenhower interrupted smilingly. "Haven't you forgotten something?"

Todd Boat Ride Follows Weird Party NEW YORK Mike Todd, party giver extraordinary, took a boat ride today to ex plain what happened last night. His ballyhooed "intimate' gathering for 18,000 chums, at Madison Square Garden, he admits, ran into a few "unforeseen difficulties." The show, televised in part to a nation-wide audience, was a hodge-podge of blaring bands, prancing ponies, dead spots and flying frankfurters that Broadway won't soon for- fiet.

Many left soon after the formal program ended at 1 1 p.m., but other thousands of the restless, fidgety -throng lingered to dance and eat. Todd, a showman who leaves little to chance, set up his explanatory boat ride to day a few hours after the party went on. WRITERS, EDITORS -ON BOAT TRIP Invited along for an excur sion, steamer outing up the Hudson River was a cross- section of the writers and editors who sat in on the grim Garden doings. Todd said he wanted to "chat" and perhaps expand the comments he publicly made over the loudspeaker system as soon as the tele vised part of the program ended. "The whole spirit of the idea tonfght is to have fun," he proclaimed.

"We had a few unforeseen difficulties. Maybe they added to the carnival spirit" A distraction during distri bution of the refreshments was discovery by the Todd press staff that some of the bottles of champagne provided for the occasion were being sold for, cash to guests. Reports of gift swiping proved apparently unfounded, although a garden official said a man attempted In vain to make off with the motor from a boat.

Workers Called on to Step Up Pace "Disappointing but not dis couraging" is the way Dick Fague, United Fund executive vice-president, describes the present total of pledges re ported. With less than two weeks to the end of the campaign, and 44 of the campaign goal pledged so far, Fague said the big job for solicitors is to continue their thorough methods but work faster. "Doing a good job takes longer than doing a poor job that's why we're a little be hind so far, he explained, Most of the reports received from solicitor teams have been good, but many areas have not reported because they are not through canvassing prospects.

Campaigns among employ ees in business and industry have shown tremendous response, Fague added. "There have been no reports yet from employee groups that have not shown at least a 100 increase from last year's Community Chest, contribu tions," he stated. "In some cases, there have been 1,000 increases recorded." Last of French Quintuplets Dies TOULON.

"But we'll sing it if you will all sing it with us," said Waring. So the Queen and the President, with Mrs. Eisenhower and Prince Philip joining in, lifted their voices in song.
