Televised Sunday The Presidents comments were recorded at the White House dur ing a television discussion with Eleanor Koosevelt. The program was televised Sunday. Overseas reaction to the peace corps idea varied. In many re gions with low living standards, there was pleasure at the Presi dent's proposal. R. Sargent Shriver, the Presi dent's brother-in-law who was ap pointed director of the Peace Corps Saturday, also appeared on the TV program. lie said propos als to have Peace Corps members work in settlement houses as part of their training for overseas serv ice was being discussed. No Decision Yet Other corps officials said no de cision had been made on the sug gestion, one of many being consid ered. Shriver said he wanted every American who desires to serve in the corns to have a chance to vol moc-iunteer. Kennedy has said he hopes to have 500 to 1,000 young men and women in service around the world by the end of the year. Mrs. Koosevelt called the re sponse to the Peace Corps idea phenomenal. Kennedy said the response was overwhelming, He added, "I think that we have really thousands and hundreds of thousands of people in this country who want a chance to be of service to the country and to the causes with which we are associated." Volunteers will' serve two or three years without pay, except for living allowances and perhaps a severance allotment. They will go to countries where they are needed and wanted and work particularly on teaching, health and agricul ture. , All Age Groups Kennedy spoke of young men and women in the corps, but he added he hoped later it would cover every age group. . Shriver said the . corps wanted to "get, away promptly" because many of the young people who might he interested will be grad uating in May and June and will have, made other commitments by fall. - Shriver's group has recommend ed that service in the Peace Corps not be considered exemption from military service. However, he said, he would hope it might be consid ered as a reason for deferment. Sen Hubert Humphrey, D-Minn. told a reporter he was working with the administration on legisla tion to set up the Peace Corps on a permanent basis. Overseas reaction Included this comment from an educator in Ni geriawhere only 15 per cent of tne population is literate: "Teachers, and more teachers is what we need most urgently. If America can supply s o m c through its Peace Corps scheme we are wide open to consider any plan which has no strings at tached. Hong Kong's Communist Ta Kung Pao said the United States conceived the corps as "an ag gressive weapon, to infiltrate and win control over underdeveloped countries."

Last Galapagos Colonists Home SEATTLE (AP) The dream of establishing a "getaway from it all" colony on the Galapagos Islands faded and the last of the would-be colonists has returned to civilization "older and wiser and poorer bv about $10,000. "We lived like animals. . . it was like a nightmare," Charles Harrison Jr., said Sunday as he and his family settled in -their home in nearby Kenmore. Harrison, who was one of a group of Puget Sounder who left here last March 25 aboard the Western Trader to colonize in the islands, said he and his wife and two sons were the last to leave the bleak outpost off the Ecuador ian Coast. "Everybody's gone from Galap agos now," he said. "We gave it our best but it was too much for us." " J The Western Trader was the second vessel to leave Seattle eq route to what appeared - at, the time to be a new' ("promised land." Earlier last year the Alert carrying a group of "colonists," blazed the trail to the remote is lands,' ' Harrison said he was aboard the Western Trader. Later Mrs. Har rison and their two sons, Ronnie, 15, and Mile, 13, followed. All had higH hopes of establishing a new life away from the problems of civ ilization. , The disillusioned Harrison told a reporter Sunday: "I want to warn anyone consid ering anything like this that the imagined and the real ' are two different things." Harrison said the colonists left the islands one by one. They sold furniture and even clothing to get back to the United States.

The bill would prohibit em ployes of the legislature, as well as non-civil service employes of the state Board of Higher Educa tion, from drawing benefits. Senate President Harry Boivin said that legislative employes arc not entitled to benefits because they generally are not in the labor market after the legislature closes. Rep.

The listener never heard an individual note, unless that bote was intended. His runs on i the keys were tremendous. Bar-Ulan captured his audience' with his playing of Mendelssohn's Rondo Capriccioso, Opus 14, and Beethoven's Sonata in F minor, Opus 57. He offered something un usual in folk song interpretations of his native Israel by Paul Hen Haim, playing Suite, Opus 34 ("My Native Land"). He was excellent also in Franz Schubert's Sonata in A Major, Opus 120. Audience Warms But it was in his interpretations of Franz Liszt's "FuneraiUes" and Rhapsody No. 15 (Rakoczy March) that he rose to unusual heights as a really great pianist. He came back to play three equally enter taining encores for the pleasure of his listeners, who showed unusual warmth for the entertainer. Bar-Illan's greatness' as an en tertainer comes from a combina tion of aptitude, sheer musical en joyment and hard work. He began at the tender age of four years, concertized at 6 and has been hard at it ever since except for time out for service during the Israeli war for independence. Private Concert As evidence of the hard work, Bar-Ulan spent nearly eight hours at the piano Saturday.

She was beaming when she walked out of the Columbia Pres byterian Medical Center Sunday and announced, 1 leei wonaer ful." She said she had no im mediate plans just more rest at home. Miss Monroe appeared a bit startled when she was confronted at the hospital entrance by a crowd of about 300 fans and 50 reporters and photographers. She declined to talk about her plans, but she reportedly is sched uled to begin work soon on a TV production of W. Somerset Maug ham's "Rain" at a salary of $125,000. 6X ilea 7 ta 14 -398 gagement at Aberdeen, Wash., Fri day night, he played the piano for four hours without letup. After the two-hour concert, he met with a small group in a private home. The talk turned to the piano and music, and he played lor another two hours for the sheer love of playing. Bar-Ulan proved very personable. He was as fluent in his conversa tion as he was with his fingers on the keyboard, lie said he seldom played after a concert in this coun try. But it reminded him of Israel, where a concert is like a home coming. The people, he said, come in the afternoon and stay until three in the morning, and the mu sician plays with all he's got. He found it very enjoyable. He not only has a profound know ledge of music but of musicians, and he has his own opinions on in ternational intrigue through mu. sicians exchanged by the United States and Russia. It is the one level on which the two nations can meet in some degree of friendly relations, he said. Extended Tour The comparatively young (30) musician has '20 more concerts to play in March. He plays tonight in Grants Pass, then goes on the next night to Redding, Calif. He finds the concert tour grueling, but enjoyable. He keeps in condition by exercise, in order to put the strength he needs in his shoulders for heavy playing. He said he will be happy for a break and return to his Idaho-born wife, Wiletta, and his two children in New York. He commented that his married sis ter, studying in New York, had given birth to a baby on Friday.
