Tears sprang from my eyes and I started to cry." seawall with only the sound of the waves pounding and the dampness of the sea spray for company. It was a lonely place. We sat down on some flat rocks and looked out toward the open sea.

We sat there in silence a long time. She took my hand and held it firmly. Very softly she started talking to me. I had to lean toward her to hear above the sound of the surf. She looked so beautiful in the moonlight that I had a hard time listening to what she was saying.

She was talking to me about life, about herself and what she wanted and how hard it was to get how hard it was to be happy. She said that I made her happy, but all of life wasn't that easy. She told me how poor she'd been and how lonely as a child, how hard it had been for her. She talked for a long time, and I tried with all my might to understand what she was saying to me. But some things I couldn't understand.

I was only about seven and I just didn't know what she was talking about. So I held on to her hand with all my strength and concentrated on her face. She started to cry. She said she wasn't really sad but that it was so beautiful here. I.

put my personal item. All the pictures of him in my mother's room and the library downstairs were gone. And in our baby scrapbooks Phillip's image was ripped out of every picture. We never dared mention his name again after we found the torn pictures. The lesson indelibly etched on me was that when Mommie dearest got mad enough she ripped people to shreds and made them disappear.

I spent more than 25 years trying to make sure my Mommie dearest loved me, trying to "win her acceptance and approval so she wouldn't get that mad and make me disappear too. We used to spend part of each summer up north in Carmel. My mother would knit and read and take walks while we went horseback riding or swimming. Mother loved the country. She particularly loved walking along the ocean and each visit she must have walked miles before we left Carmel.

One night she was restless and asked me to go for a walk with her. We walked along the London, the government today rejected a request that it bar former President Richard Nixon from Britain on the grounds he is "an undesirable alien." A request for the government to do so was made in a written parliamentary question to Home Secretary Merlyn Rees Friday by John Lee, a Labor party member. Lee asked Rees, "if he will prohibit the entry into the United Kingdom of Richard Milhous Nixon as an undesirable alien in the light of his criminal activities revealed in the Watergate affair." Rees's written reply to" Lee was just one word: "No." Nixon is scheduled to visit England for three days at the end of the month to deliver an address on foreign policy Nov. 30 to the Oxford University Union. Carrie Cavett must have felt like the Mama Bear of the Goldilocks epic when she called her Montauk, N.Y., home during the weekend, expecting talk-show husband Dick Cavett to answer.

The growl at the other end of the line definitely wasn't his, so she hung up and dialed again. The same voice quickly said, "This is Muhammad Ali and in your bed watching your TV." The champ was in New York to film an upcoming television special which Cavett will narrate, and Cavett an old friend asked "him to be a houseguest. He just forgot to tell his wife. Says he, "I'll probably put up a plaque over the bed that says 'The greatest slept The taping of an "All-Star Tribute to Jimmy Stewart," for airing on CBS-TV Dec. 7, turned into an all-star cocktail party during the weekend in Hollywood, and it was well-titled.

Also mimic Rich Little. Scott Newman, 28-year-old son of actor Paul Newman, was found dead in a Hollywood motel today, the victim of an overdose of drugs and alcohol, according to police. The younger Newman, a sometime actor and entertainer who worked in nightclubs under the name of William Scott, was pronounced dead at Los Angeles New Hospital. Police said a Los Angeles clinic had received a call for help from Newman at 9 last night and that clinic associate Scott Steinberg took the stricken Newman to his room at a nearby motel.

He was later taken to a hospital. Newman's mother was Jackie Witte, the actor's first wife. A family friend said the senior Newman was "somewhere in the midwest involved in an auto race" and attempts were being made to notify him of his son's death. CRAWFORD Continued from Page 1 Mommie insisted I learn to swim in our pool at an early age. At age four, I was eager to show off to my mother.

She decided we would have a race. The first race was only the width of the pool and she let me win it. After that I wanted to race again, only this time it was to be the entire length of the pool. We raced several times. She beat me easily.

I was furious with her. "You don't play fair. I'm never going to play with you again as long as I live," I told her. I remember that my mother laughed. She said, "Christina, I could have won all the time.

I'm bigger than you are. I'm faster than you are. I can win all the time." I was only four when this brief clash of wills occurred but I know that neither one of us ever forgot it. Maybe she'd already succeeded in making me as much of a fighter as she was. Maybe this was the very first indication of inde-pendence and the baby mutiny that was to enrage her so during the following years.

But there was probably no way for either of us to know in that particular moment that this brief exchange was actually setting the stage for our future relationship lasting more than 30 years. I had to take a nap every day, but sometimes I just wasn't very sleepy. On this particular day I wasn't asleep. I was about five and sharing a room with my brother, who was only two. My bed was up against the wall on one side and as I daydreamed I ran my finger over a seam in the wallpaper.

Without much real thought on my part, I picked at the seam. Before I knew it, several little pieces of the wallpaper had fallen away, leaving a small but obvious blank spot on the wall. All of a sudden I realized what I had done. I spit on the torn pieces and tried to patch the spot. It didn't work.

I knew my nurse would have to tell my mother about it. When Mommie came home she went to my room to see the damage for herself. Right then and there she put me over her knee and spanked the daylights out of me. But that was not the end of it. She was determined to teach me a lesson that no amount of spanking could accomplish.

That's what she said as she opened the closet door. She reached inside and withdrew my favorite dress. It was a yellow dress with white eyelet embroidery. She took it off the hanger and went to a drawer where the scissors were kept. I was horrified.

Mommie took the scissors and completely shredded my favorite yellow dress! Tears sprang to my eyes and I started to cry. Then my mother marched toward me holding the tattered dress in front of her. The sound of her voice stopped my tears. She told me that I was going to have to wear that shredded thing for one week! That next week seemed interminable. I cried most of the time and kept to myself.

I was mortified at my appearance and tried to become invisible. My mother seemed oblivious to my pain. At the end of the seventh day, after I had taken my bath and gotten into my nightclothes, I marched myself down to the incinerator and threw the filthy ragged remains of what had been my favorite yellow dress into the coals and watched as it sank into the soft gray ashes. It wasn't long after that mother's husband Phillip Terry left. One day he just didn't come home again.

Phillip, a handsome but relatively unknown actor, had been a nice man and I did miss him. But Mommie did cruel things he couldn't seem to prevent. Like the time my nurse found me tied up in the shower with the door closed. Within 24 hours after Phillip left there was not a trace of him left anywhere in the house. His room and bath were stripped of every single arms around her neck, hugging and kissing her.

I wished with all my heart that I would make it all right for her. "I love you, Mommie dearest" was all I could say. She turned and looked at me' through tears. She smiled at me. Then she ran her finger across my forehead as though to smooth away a frown.

She rumpled my hair and gave me a hug. "Let's go, it's getting cold." She held my hand the whole way back. At one point she stopped and looked at me. "You don't understand very much of what I've said, do you?" In despair I shook my head no. She almost sighed as she said, "It's all right, Tina.

You'll understand more when you're a little older." I've wondered if I hadn't been seven and if I'd understood all the things she said to me that night I've wondered many times if my life with her would have been any different. During and right after the war, meat was scarce and my mother bought it on the black market. She lost no time in telling us how expensive it was and how lucky we were. We were to remember "the starving children of Europe" and eat every single scrap of food on our plates. That was no idle threat, either.

Nothing easy, like no dessert if we failed to heed her warning. There weren't many foods I absolutely hated, thank God, but there was one: blood-rare meat. When it was evident that we were going to have beef of any kind for dinner, I would beg the cook to give me a well-done piece. Sometimes my pleading went for naught and I ended up with the blood-rare food on my plate. Mommie had an idea that at those black market prices, it was more nutritious for us rare.

One night when we were served black market steak, I ate all the cooked edges of the meat and was left staring at the blood-rare center. I could not swallow those pieces because every time I tried to, I gagged- At the end of the half-hour mealtime, my plate was removed to the refrigerator. The next morning at breakfast, I got a glass of milk and that cold plate which by now was greasy and yukky. I was not allowed to sit down at the table, but had to stand at my place for the entire half hour. I did drink my milk, and that was all.

Lunch progressed the same. For dinner I had the same plate cold from the refrigerator but now I was not allowed at the table. I had to stand and stare at this horrible grungy plate placed on top of the chest freezer on the back porch. I tried to eat a couple of pieces of the wretched meat and ended up vomiting in the servants' toilet. The next morning I didn't even want to get up.

I knew that awful plate was down in the refrigerator waiting for me. And the worst of it was that now I was really getting hungry. Three glasses of milk were not enough to keep a 9-year-old going for very long. Breakfast smelled delicious. Bacon and eggs were cooking and the aroma reached up to my bedroom.

I went downstairs thinking that the ordeal just might be over. It was two full days since I'd been allowed a meal. When the nurse came downstairs, she told me I would not be allowed breakfast until I finished my plate of old food at the freezer. Someone telephoned Mother at the studio to tell her that I wouldn't eat and I had to talk to her that afternoon. When I called her at the studio she yelled at me for being a selfish, ungrateful child.

I was to go to bed early without any dinner and she'd take care of the spanking tomorrow. She hung up without saying goodbye. I lay in my bed crying. I wasn't even hungry any more. I didn't understand why she got so mad at me, why everything I did seemed to make her angry.

I thought about running away from home, but I had nowhere to go.
