D e c c a rec ords released Aline MosbT Jerry's Al Jol-son-ish version of "Rock-a-bye Your Baby" and "Come Rain or Come Shine'' with a notion of selling about 50,000 platters. So far the fans have hauled home more than 600,000 copies of Jerry's new talent. Decca ex pects the record to go a million. Fans figured Dean Martin was the only member of the old Martin-Lewis combination who could croon, but Jerry also is electrify ing the nightclub customers with songs in his new single night: club act. He'll also display the pipes on his first single tele vision show, on NBC Jan. 19. ''Suddenly I remembered the lyrics of 'Rock-a-bye,. . .1 got an ovation,'' he continued.

For eight hours, with a patrol squad of the Third Armored Cav alry Regiment of the U.S. Arnjy iirave Kitles, I drove in a jeep ;mg West Germany's boundaries with East Germany and Czechoslovak.

Lee Odell of Rochest er, N.Y., was my personal guide. He had me outfitted in a top sergeant's cold weather outfit parka, wool socks, heavy rubber boots,' fleecelined cap. Lt. Carleton Piepho of Chic ago briefed the squad and me on the confidential nature of our mission. Cold and Dark I was particularly shown a 50-meter border sign and told that no one under the command of the 7th Army is allowed with in 50 meters of the border. I also was instructed carefully as to the appearance of the border old border signs. German landgrenze signs. East Zone and Czechoslo vakian border stones, barriers, plowed strips, barbed wire fences, towers, etc. There was snow on the ground it was cold and the sky was overcast when we set out in open jeeps. The Only lights were those of our jeeps, and those were turned off whenever we ap proached a sensitive area. The radio in Lieutenant Odell's jeep was turned on for possible calls from the other cars. Sgt. Bill Greer Jr. of Galatin, Tenn., was in the machine gun equipped jeep. He would drive on ahead whenever we ap proached a barrier or danger zone that required the C.O.'s per sonal inspection and, of course, my tagging along. With a pair of binoculars. I inspected the blur a few yards behind a clump of trees past one border point. It was a pipe from a stove the guards on the other side were using to combat the cold. Forgot to Duck Two German nationals walked by at another point. Sergeant Greer asked for identification, and it took 10 minutes to ascer tain that they had a right to be in the area. Their attitude was antagonistic. I couldn't understand why I Success Taken Seriously was asked to turn my back and hide in the shadows every time a truck or car approached. I found out the hard way. I was so intent on focusing the binoculars at one stop that I didn't notice a truck coming up until its lights blinded me. Simultaneously I was pulled over to the side by Leitenant Odell, and Sergeant Greer order ed the truck to move on. I dimly heard the words "schoene frau" as the truck went past. My hair gave me away. Then I was told that if I had been alone I might just have disappeared. A favorite trick of the East Germans is to boldly drive trucks or cars across snatch up West Germans, take them to the other side and barter their freedom for information. I then remembered that in the briefing I was told if I got in volved in any incident to give only my name and passport num ber. Now I was so upset I couldn't remember the number. It was all I could do to remember that I was supposed to be like a soldier for the night and couldn't let my temporary buddies know how really jittery I was.

You have read about the incredible suffering of the freedom-loving people of Hungary. You and millions of other Americans have looked around your own safe homes looked at your warm clothes and asked: "How can we help?" Here is your answer. ' To date, over 100,000 Hungarian men, women and children have escaped with their lives to neighboring Austria. Many are sick. Some are wounded. All are hungry. And most of them face winter with only the clothes they were wearing when they escaped. But their ordeal is not over. For generous Austria's meager supplies have been stripped bare. There is little food, little medicine, little coal, little shelter. And new thousands of refugees arrive daily. In Hungary itself, hundreds of thousands must be fed through the cold winter. The lives of these people depend upon your generosity. Your money will buy desperately needed supplies for those tens of thousands stranded in Austria. Your money will reach into the ruins of Budapest and help feed the hungry people there. Literally evtry dollar you send will be used for on-the-spot relief. The need is terrible and the need is now.
