"Now I'm just sort of numb." Woman-like, she refused to reveal her age. Marjorie was born and raised in New York City where her father, Charles Tobias, is a furnishing-home auctioneer. Her mother is an executive assistant to Robert Harrison, publisher of Confidential, who also is Mrs. Tobias' brother. "I led a very normal, happy childhood," Marjorie said. "I went to public grammar schools and graduated from the Leonard School for Girls on 93 rd street. One summer vacation I worked as a salesgirl in a department store." Though she dreamed of be coming an actress as a child, Mrs. Meade turned to journal ism for two years at Pennsyl vania State college. "It was then that I met Fred," she recalled fondly. "He had just returned from flying 52 missions with the Air Corps in Europe. He won the distinguished flying cross and a lot of other medals. . You should see them. They're beau tiful." Mrs. Meade said her current problems have brought the couple closer together. "We are more in love than ever," she said. Settle in Apartment After thtir marriage In 1945 the couple settled down in a New York apartment.

"When we lived in Man hattan I did the shopping and took the youngsters to the park to play. We had a maid who helped out. I was president for two years of the Child Care League for Psychologically Dis turbed Children and helped to raise money for the cause." Two years ago the Meades moved to a Spanish-style, eight room house in Beverly Hills. And Marjorie shifted gears from housewife to career woman for Hollywood Research, Inc., Con fidential West Coast listening post. Mrs. Meade refuses to discuss her trial or why she took the Confidential job except to say that the trial prevents her from spending more time with her children. "I took a lie-detector test this week," she concluded. "And it proved everything I've said is absolutely true. "The man who recorded the test said my heartbeat was faint and slow and I ought to see a doctor." High Pressure Center Provides Fair Skies By UNITED PRESS A high pressure center extend ing from the Gulf of Mexico north to Hudson Bay produced fair skies and near ideal sum mer weather today over most of the nation.

Graham Notes Other Headlines Than Trial New York (IP) Billy Gra ham said Tuesday night that while large chunks of the Free World are about to disappear behind the Iron Curtain, "our headlines seem mostly taken up with a scandal trial in Holly wood." "There are other headlines more gravely serious," the ev angelist told a Madison Square earden audience of 17.000. "It looks as though Syria is going behind the Iron Curtain and In donesia is heading the same way." The major powers are prepar ing nuclear weapons with mis sile warheads that are capable of annihilating whole cities, he said, and "all the world seems to be getting ready for a conflict that could end our western con cept of a Free World." This being the case, Graham continued, Americans should turn irom sensational frivolous pursuits and take what oppor tunity is left to improve their spiritual situations. Graham said his New York crusade had turned out to be "the longest religious crusade in modern times." When it closes Sept. 1, it will have run 16 weeks. Evangelist Billy Sunday conducted a 10-week campaign in New York in 1913, but Gra ham's has already run 14 weeks. Balloon to Carry Bomb Leaks Helium Las Vegas, Nev.

The AEC said a new shipment of helium would arrive today and the test would be held at 5:30 a.m. (PDT) Thursday weather permitting. Adverse weather already has caused two 24-hour delays in the detonation of.the "half nominal" yield de vice. Milk Strike in NY Averted Yesterday New York HP) The milk strike in the New York metro politan area ended early today, averting the threat of a short age for 12 million consumers. Milk from dairy farms began moving into the area Immedi ately after both sides reached a settlement, Harry Uviller, chair man of the State Mediation Board, said. Uviller said the settlement terms "more or less meet the union demands." He said the Dairy Transport association agreed to give truck drivers a 70-cent an hour pack age increase over a three year period. Officials of the association and of Teamsters Local 770 met Tuesday night and reached the agreement about 3 a.m. (EDT).
