WASHINGTON (AP) The Navy overhauls ships being trans ferred to foreign allies until they are fn better condition than those in the U.S. Fleet itself, the Gen eral Accounting Office said today. GAO, Congress' financial over seer of operations in the executive branch, said the Navy has over charged the mutual security pro gram for some of the materiel going into foreign aid. It's pretty much a matter of bookkeeping, all within the government, but GAO said refunds from the Navy were in order. The Navy contested the GAO criticism, which was contained in a report to Congress. GAO cited repair bills of $590,- 000 to $635,000 for LST's going into military foreign aid. The last over haul of the same ships while they were part of the U.S. Fleet, it said, cost from $140,000 to $172,- 000. It gave no dates. The Navy said, however, the comparison was not accurate be cause it was hampered by short age of maintenance funds while it still held title to the ships. It cited several reasons for doing an especially thorough job on ships going abroad. These in cluded the increased age of the ships, the probability that they would be operating at greater dis tances from yards and parts depots and would not be over hauled as often, and a desire to keep the receiving country from feeling that it was getting inferior Charlotte Cushmmi was the first actress whose name has been placed In the Hall of Fame.

Said Better Than Our Own Yule Day Rites Planned The scriptural story of the birth of Jesus will be presented at an early morning service at the Bible Baptist Church, 2244 Wiard Street, beginning at 6:30 a.m. on Christ mas Day.

The pastor, the Ilcv. Freeman L. Schmitt. will read the scriptures and will conclude the service with brief message.

The Reverend Schmitt will be in charge of the scenery and setting. or worn-out materiel. Additionally, the Navy said, labor costs rose about 50 per cent between the times of the overhauls compared. GAO said the Navy had charged standard prices for various items which should, have been discoun ted because they were obsolescent or surplus. Such discounting, the agency contended, is required by law. The Navy challenged this in terpretation, although it said it has revised its procedures in some respects. The Navy reply contended it charged appropriate prices for items delivered in first-class con dition and entirely usable militar ily, even though the United States may have substituted other items in its own current inventory.

HOLLYWOOD (AP) - Gilda Gray, the shimmy dancer of the 1920s who gave America more shakes than bootleg whisky, is dead. She died of an apparent heart attack Tuesday while visiting a friend. The petite blonde always had been coy about her age. Esti mates ranged from 59 to 68. Her death closed another chap ter of the dizzy decade which ac claimed F. Scott Fitzgerald, jazz, near beer and raccoon coats. She was a top star in the golden era of vaudeville which produced Al Jolson, Will Rogers, Gallagher and Sheen, and Sophie Tucker. Years later she said of her fabulous heyday: "They might roar more today, honey, hut we had more fun." The girl with the wiggly hips, who thrilled tired businessmen with a wicked Charleston atop a speakeasy table, faded into obscu rity with the depression. She re putedly made millions but was living in a furnished room at the end. As recently as five years ago the talked of a comeback: "It will be a big act, honey, some thing big." But it never materi alized. She was born in Krakow, Po land. Her real name was Mary- anna Michalska. Her parents were killed during a revolution and she fled to America with her foster parents. She sang and danced in Milwau kee saloons at 14. She could hardly speak English but her slithering dances needed no translation. She said the word "shimmy" was coined when: "I shook my chemise like this and tried to pro nounce the word, but a customer thought I was saying 'shimmy' and that's how it all began."

She married and divorced three husbands John Gorecki, a Wis consin politician; Gaillard Boag a New York night club owner, and Hector Briecendo, a Venezue lan diplomat. She had a son, Mar tin, by Gorecki. She filed a million-dollar suit against Rita Hayworth, alleging theft of her dance in the 1949 film "Gilda." The suit was dropped in 1954. Despite ill health in recent years, she retained her trim fig ure. Two years ago, she expressed pleasure that skirts were becom ing shorter. "Perhaps men will again be eyeing pretty girls' legs," she said hopefully. Actress Sheds Video Producer SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) He chose to live his own life, actress Virginia Gregg said of her husband. She testified at a divorce hear ing Tuesday that television pro ducer Jaime Del Valle was cold and indifferent to her. Miss Gregg, 42, was granted a divorce. Del Valle, 48, must pay her $550 monthly alimony, $450 child sup port and a percentage of his fu ture earnings. They married in 1948.
