Can Smile

A month ago photographers at Toronto, Ontario, asked Gordon Kelley to smile after he was found, half clothed and emaciated; in a dark closet where he said he had been imprisoned for a year. But he didn't know what the word smile’ meant.

Yesterday, after a month of good food and medical attention, Gordon showed the cameramen that he has learned the word. At first thought to be about 14, he later was discovered to be 23. The couple in whose home he was found face possible prosecution.

U. S. Gifts fo Cockney Baby

Seat Her, on Throne of Toys

Gets 20-Year Supply of Candy Along With a Crib Worth $1000

LONDON, Nov. 20 (UP)-—Elizabeth Philp is only a bus conductor’s daughter, but she will sleep in a $1000 crib and sit on a

throne of toys.

The American people have showered her with gifts that would

become a princess

Elizabeth gave birth at Buckingham Palace to a boy who may become king. Her father and mother can scarcely believe their luck, “We don’t live in a house,” Cockney Maud Philp sald. “We live in a hut. What are we ‘going to do with all of these things?” She was crying from joy as Elizabeth Antosh, 24; American Overseas Airlines stewardess, told her of the gifts that Americans had showered on the Philp household. A bedroom with a $1000 crib, two $500 chests of drawers. Numerous lamps and curtains, 100 toys, a 20-year supply of candy— these were en route from Americans who read that Elizabeth Philp was destined to live in a drab three-room hut and play on the docks, . The Philp hut is in one of the poorest and worst-blitzed sections of London. Maud and her $22-a-week bus conductor-husband

Henry have had to save their pennies week-by-week in order to have their second baby. “Now we shall be able to have many more,” the young mother said. “We never dreamed people could be so kind.” The gifts have come like Christmas to the Philps. Married eight years, five of which Henry spent in the Army, they have never had a home of their own. Their badly battered furniture has been borrowed from friends and their clothes were given them by welfare centers and wealthy couples. In a week the mother will return from the maternity ward to their hut in the docklands. “To think of it,” she said. “No more diapers to wash and a real silk nightdress to wear.” Among the gifts were the promise of free diaper service and a $50 nightdress already shipped here by air freight. What did the father have to
