Briton Morals Case Resumes

LONDON (UPD—Blonde Mandy Rice - Davies, 18, testified to day at the morals trial of Dr. Stephen Ward that she had intercourse with former American film star Douglas Fairbanks Jr. At an earlier hearing Miss RiceDavies named Viscount Astor, 55, son of American-born Lady Nancy Astor, as another of her lovers. Fairbanks now is a businessman with wide interests in Britain and Europe. Fairbanks, 53, is one of the leaders of the American colony in London. He and his wife, the former Virginia Le Epling of Bluefield, Va., are among the few foreigners who have entertained Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh at home. Fairbanks declines Comment There was no immediate comment from Fairbanks on the girl’s story. Miss Rice-Davies told the court that while she was having an affair with Fairbanks — who established residence in London in 1952—she also was sleeping with Peter (Polish Peter) Rachman, late slum property racketeer whose activities were debated in the House of Commons Monday night. She said the rent for the flat at which these sessions took place was paid by Lord Astor — she called him “Bill” in her testimony. Ward, who introduced call girl Christine Keeler to former War Minister John Profumo, starting the affair that forced his resignation and nearly brought down the government, is charged with living off the earnings of prostitutes and trying to entice young girls into prostitution. A Mystery Hostess Before Miss Rice-Davies took the stand, questioning of another witness brought out the name “Mariella”—believed the hostess of a bizarre party in which a prominent Briton appeared dressed only in a mask and apron. The witness, a pretty Austrian girl identified only as Miss R., broke down and was led weeping from the courtroom. Ward’s defense counsel, James Burge, protested so vehemently against the line of questioning that brought up the name that the judge ruled the question could not be pursued. « The judge's ruling seemed to preclude any attempt to establish the identity of the persons who attended parties given by “Mariella’’ or the identity of the mysterious hostess herself. In 1957, Fairbanks gave a coming - out party for his 17-year-old

daughter Daphne at the Clivenden estate of Lord Astor. Among the guests were the Queen and Prince Philip, Princess Margaret and and Princess Alexandra, four dukes and 500 members of Britain’s top society. Miss Rice - Davies sketched her career from small town girl in Warwickshire to the big city—a route much the same as that followed by Miss Keeler, 21. Christine, Mandy’S former roommate, also told the court Monday that Lord Astor, head of one of Britain’s. first families, paid the rent on an apartment the two girls shared. Astor has denied being intimate with Miss Rice-Davies. ' Miss Keeler, a striking 21-year-old redhead, dominated the trial Monday jn' "her testimony as a prosecution viitness. Ward, the 50-year-old society osteopath with living off the earnings of prostitutes and other vice counts, pleaded innocent, then remained in the background in the opening session. Miss Keeler's performance was so dramatic that it even got a review by the movie critic of Britain’s largest newspaper today. But Monday night, it was Mandy’s turn. She showed up at a press preview of 144 portraits' Ward painted and hopes to sell to pay for his defense. Ward, out on bail, arrived separately and left after a brief stay. Mandy, dressed in a tight pink dress, happily swigged champagne straight from the bottle and told onlookers “I think Stephen is a great artist.’.’ Knew Many Men Miss Keeler, appearing for the prosecution, testified that she had slept with Profumo, Ivanov, the late property tycoon “Polish Peter” Rachman, whose slum dealings stirred a House of Commons debate, and several other men. including one she recalled only as "Charles.” But when Justice Sir Archie Marshall said the prosecution would try to prove she was a prostitute, Miss Keeler retorted angrily: ' “I would like to say that I am not a prostitute and never have been.” Prosecutor Mervyn GriffithJones indicated he would call other girls to testify that they were paid - for—sexual intercourse and gave part of the money to Ward. One of them, he said, was Vicki Barrett, who met men in Ward’s apartment 30 times and gave him the money each time. He promised to keep it for her but she never saw a penny of it, the prosecutor said.

skinned American* as secondclass citizens.” The objector said he .did not belong to any “group or movement that is out to discredit our government in any way. I would not consider myself a leftist or rightist.” “I love this country and am writing to you because I am concerned at what you arid Mr. Kennedy and others like you are doing to it, and to me personally,’' he wrote. Sees Rights Destroyed “I see my rights as a citizen destroyed to please a minority group,” the letter to Welsh said. “My government and state says‘s no longer have a right to live in the type of neighborhood I choose, which happens to be white. My government and state says I no longer can send my children to an all-white school. And now you want to go one step further and admit them in establishments offering services, which also includes me because I am owner of a beauty salon.” “If this isn’t taking my rights away as a citizen, then what is it:” he asked. This was a reference to a recent Welsh order which stated places servicing the public which are licensed by the state may lose their license if found guilty of discrimination. “I whole heartedly, disapprove of what my state and government are doing. I aim to stand up and be counted either by vote or by force,” the writer said. « Criticizes Politicians “I am aware of politicians who sit back and preach integration from a well segregated neighborhood, and send their children off to private schools. Politicians who are out for integration are merely out to get voted,” he said. “It is true,” Welsh replied, "that government, as well as business,-has extended new opportunities and rights to Negro Americans at an accelerated pace in recent years. It seems clear, however, that the majority of our citizens feel that all Americans will benefit in the long run if Negroes are given the same basic freedoms as other Americans enjoy and hold precious.” “My children have been taught in classrooms with Negrp students. Our family lives only a few houses from fine Negro families. My doctor and my dentist treat both white and Negro patients as well. I fail to see how the treating of Negroes as persons and in accordance with their individual merits or demerits interferes with any legitimate rights of myself and my family,” Welsh said. "'Country Partly Free “I realize I may be sticking my neck out by -writing to you but I am counting on this being a partly free country with freedom of speech and press still intact,” the Gary man wrote. “The Negro has all the privileges for success and respect as any white if they simply want to, work for it,” the writer said. Welsh warned that a continued denial of the rights of the colored races can result in “warped and embittered personalities.” “The end result is a life of crime and violence. Many thousands wind up living off the tax dollars of you and your neighbors,” he said. The objector closed his letter with “Mr. Welsh, I am not a Negro hater, you are so well educated, what am I to do? I am merely concerned about my rights and my family’s rights.” Welsh replied, “I hope you will come to feel that the changes that are taking place, instead of limiting your rights, actually make them more secure.”

MODERNITY IN AN ANCIENT LAND—Sitting on an ornate rug that may well be a descendant of the famous flying carpet, four generations of the family of Ibrahim ibn Suleman (second from right) gather around a modern miracle in their home at Rahimah, Saudi Arabia. They are watching a television program being broadcast over a station operated by the Arabian American Oil Co. for its 11,000 Saudi Arab employes. The station, one of two Arabic-language television stations in the Middle East, uses a retired oil derrick to support the transmitting antenna.

GOP Governors Fight To Keep Issue Alive MIAMI BEACH (UPD—Republican governors promised today to keep the civil rights dispute before the annual conference of state executives even though they were overwhelmed in the first test on that issue. Gov. Nelson A, Rockefeller of New York, leader of the campaigns to get the governors’ conference to issue a civil rights declaration, tried to lay responsibility directly on President Kennedy for Monday’s conference vote to shelve the issue. The vote came on adoption of a rules change to junk the resolutions committee and abolish the entire resolutions process which has caused increasing controversy in the conference during the past four years. The 33 to 16 vote was almost a straight party line count with a single defector— Democratic Gov. William A. Egan of. Alaska sided with the Republicans against the new rule. Republican governors immediately began searching for parliamentary tactics to force one or more additional roll calls on the civil rights issue. Another party caucus was called for the lunch break today. The revised agenda for the conference called for talk without action on civil rights this afternoon. This debating session was programmed by Gov. Albert D. Rosellini of Washington, conference chairman, in one of the Democratic moves to defuse the civil rights issue. Rosellini and other Democrats

argued that any civil rights resolution adopted by the conference would be meaningless, might cause it to flounder in a Southern Democratic filibuster and even break up the organization. • “Shortsighted Move” But Rockefeller said Monday’s vote was “a tragically shortsigh te d move” which had “gagged” the governors and undermined the states. He said it was incredible that the Democratic President had done nothing to stop the action of the Democratic governors. The political benefits, if any, ‘gained by Rockefeller at this conference capnot be measured. Under prodding from GOP National Chairman William E. Miller, however, the Republican governors did give an unusual display of unity. Rockefeller was joined in this fight by governors supporting' or leaning toward Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona, his potential rival for the presidential nomination.
