Prince Suited For Manly Roles

Ky down to two top aides

By MARGARET SAVILLE LONDON (UPI) — Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, will make some nice girl a good husband. As if being heir to the monarchy and to a vast fortune weren’t sufficient qualifications, consider that Charles, the 19-year-old son of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip knows as much about cooking as he does about such royal subjects as constitutional law. He can make jam, bake cakes and biscuits and has been at home on the (kitchen) range since he was 10 years old. This talent comes in handy at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he whips up a few tidbits for his chums. Charles, who is majoring in archaeology and anthropology, also has added a few touches of interior decoration to his quarters — another quality bound to impress a princess on the lookout for a future king. He has livened the plain oldfashioned mahogany furniture with bright orange cushions and a Stewart tartan rug, a gift from the Queen Mother, which is draped over the easychair. The white walls are decorated with some prints of antique cars which the prince has transferred from the tiny cubicle where he slept at his old Scottish school of Gordons-

toun.

In addition to books needed for current studies. Prince Charles has a shelf of poetry, historical and travel books. His red transistor radio is beside his plain, white-covered bed in the bedroom adjoining the study. He also has a powerful American-made record player in a teak cabinet. Prince Philip gave it to him last Christ-

mas.

He has brought to school a box of favorite records, including ballet music, cello pieces and some traditional jazz. The drums particularly fascinate him in the latter. He has tried his hand as a drummer as well as playing the cello and piano. The prince has joined the Music Society at the university and just might be leading cellist at a concert soon. He appeared with the Gordonstoun school orchestra in public on several occasions. Charles also has a set of Welsh language course records because he needs to learn the tongue-twisting pronunciations for his investiture next year as Prince of Wales. The prince temporarily is to leave Cambridge for a term at the University of Wales at Aberystwyth just before the July investiture and wants to be able to talk in Welsh. At Cambridge he is getting numerous invitations to private parties but almost all are politely refused. When he does go out he is accompanied by his equerry, Squadron Leader John Checketts, who acts as secretary-companion. However he does go to small gatherings at a modest house

Clark refuses poor

WASHINGTON (UPI)-Mem-bers of the Poor People’s campaign gave up Monday after an eight-hour wait to see Atty. Gen. Ramsey Clark. They were going back to the Justice Department today. Clark refused Monday to meet with a delegation of 100 Indians, Mexican - Americans, Appalachian whites and poor blacks protesting the indictment Friday of 13 men by a Los Angeles grand jury. Toll tops mark By United Press International The nation’s four day Memorial Day weekend traffic death toll climbed to a record 615 in the final hours of the holiday to surpass last year’s record of 608. Final figures Monday, however, showed the toll remained below the number of deaths that had been predicted. The National Safety Council had estimated that between 625 and 725 persons would die on the highways during the long holiday, which began at 6 p.m. Wednesday and ended at midnight local time Sunday. During a similar nonholiday period, the council said, 580 persons would die. The death rate ranged from one-third to one-fifth below last year’s in the early part of the 102-hour holiday period. But a sudden spurt as travelers hurried home pushed the death rate above last year’s. The final United Press International count at 12:30 p.m. EDT showed: Traffic 615 Drownings 150 Planes 15 Miscellaneous 87 Total 867

Handwriting Analysis Helps LONGVIEW, Tex. (UPI) — A little girl in school had difficulty breathing at times. Mary Collins checked the girl’s handwriting and found signs of insecurity in the flow and slant of her written words. A little boy was belligerent and a bully. Mrs. Collins found his handwriting full of indications of self-consciousness. Mrs. Collins is primarily a counselor in seven Longview grade schools. But she also is a handwriting analyst. “Handwriting is not the only guide I use, by any means,” she said. “But it is a quick help in many situations.” Here are some of the things she sees in writing: —A firm stroke at the end of such letters as the h, l, m, or n can show stubbornness; —A person who crosses his t’s up high shows ambition; —Inconsistency of the slant of words shows confused motivation; —If you dot your i’s with a jagged stroke, you are irritable; —A square-topped "r” is a sign of creativity.

Clark offered several times Monday to meet with a smaller group of 20 to 25, but the demonstrators turned him down. The attorney general finally agreed to discuss the grievances with a delegation of 100 today, and leaders said they would hold him to his word. Although Clark refused to grant the demonstrators an audience, the poor people claimed victory at the end of their Monday vigil when their leader, Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzales, announced that bail for 9 of the 13 men in custody in Los Angeles had been reduced from $12,500 each to $315 for eight of them and $1,250 for the other. “That's power,” he declared. The accused are members of a group called the Brown Berets. They are accused of leading a Los Angeles high school walkout. The Washington demonstrators, backed by 300 supporters from Resurrection City, home base for the Poor Prople’s march, came to Clark demanding that he investigate the case. —Scorpion trace of the missing craft. The destroyers, traveling at 13 knots, proceeded from Norfolk toward the Azores, covering the scheduled route of the Scorpion in reverse. Other craft were searching an area south of the Azores where the Scoprion was last heard from May 21 at the outset of a planned westward journey to its Norfolk base. Newlyweds Face Practical Tasks NEW YORK <UPD—Wedded bliss is one thing. Blissful unawareness of changes in records that should be made after the wedding march is another. Many records should be updated immediately, says the Institute of Life Insurance. These include records dealing with employment, tax deductions, bank accounts and insurance policies. Many of these can be altered as needed simply by a short visit to the personnel office where you work. It can help you with tax withholding, changing names of beneficiaries on group life insurance policies, and making sure that health insurance gives family protection and maternity benefits. Frequently, union welfare officers can handle group insurance matters. If you have existing personal health and life policies, call on your insurance agent to make sure he has the correct names and address. The start of married life is a good time to review all security programs and make sure they are in line with your new family picture. Your insurance advisor can be helpful in answering questions about planning. Seek expert advice in other areas, such as money and whether bank accounts should be changed, joint ones opened.

Cong attacks on Saigon and an accidental rocket blast from a U.S. helicopter Sunday has killed and wounded a number of important army and police officers, most of whom were close associates and supporters of Ky. New Shade Cuts Heat CHICAGO (UPD—A transparent window shade that reportedly turns back 65 per cent of solar heat has been developed. The manufacturer, (3M Co.), says the new shade is the next best thing to air conditioning. The shade, which rolls up like other window shades, keeps non air - conditioned rooms cooler and reduces the load on air conditioners, according to the manufacturers. It is made of an aluminum polyester film which reduces sun glare by 92 per cent and cuts heat from the sun’s rays by 65 per cent. The film one-way mirror looks somewhat like a mirror from the outside, although the view from the inside is like that of an ordinary glass pane. “Unlike tinted glass which slows build-up of the sun’s heat only temporarily before permitting it to pass into the room, Scotchtint Solar Control Film, (the name of the shade), reflects the sun’s rays,” says the company. The solar shield was tested in Fresno, Calif., where summer afternoon temperatures often reach 180 degrees. The shades were hung on 34 windows of a motel there. As a result, the shade maker said, the motel had “more comfortable rooms, reduced power costs, eiimination of cooling plant breakdowns and relief from the fading effects of the sun on carpets and draperies.” Origin of PTA CRYSTAL SPRINGS, Miss. (UPI) — The Parents-Teach-ers Association was born here in 1909 with delegates from five states attending the organization meeting. The founder and first president of PTA was Mrs. R. V. Stapleton of Hattiesburg, Miss.

Ky now has only two highranking officers remaining in important positions in his camp, and one is recovering from combat wounds. At least 10 of the men have died in the defense of Saigon, dramatically changing a situation in which many officers stayed in headquarters and never got up front with their men. Ky, himself a general in the air force, had a loyal group of officers in his camp and this support gave him more power than contained in his largely ceremonial office as vice president. Ky has been involved in a long and sometimes privately caustic feud over policy matters

—Heloise DEAR HELOISE: I read that suggestion about using a wooden vegetable box from the market as a sewing bench. Well, when I lived in a small apartment I had a tiny kitchen with very little cupboard space. So I got three wooden fruit boxes (same size), scrubbed them good and left them in the sun to dry. Then I put the boxes on top of each other, nailed them together and covered the shelves, inside and out, with adhesivebacked plastic in colors to match my kitchen. It just fit on one side of my “so-called” kitchen and I had a new cupboard to keep canned goods in. One could use these boxes in other rooms — bathroom for towels and cleaning supplies, or as bookcases. Carla Hansen Built on Air COLLEGE STATION, Tex. (UPI) — One $61,700 grant from the space agency to Texas A & M University is built on air. With the grant, aerospace researchers use a new method of air injection into a wind tunnel to simulate wind gusts and atmospheric turbulence, important factors in the design of aircraft and missiles.

Dam Van Quy, deputy director of the National Police. The director of the National Police, Brig. Gen. Nguyen Ngoc Loan, lies wounded in a Saigon hospital, recovering from wounds he suffered in leading troops into a Viet Cong stronghold. Among those killed Sunday in the rocket attack were four Ky men, including the chief of the Cholon district police in Saigon and the director of the port of Saigon.

DR. AND MRS. BENJAMIN SPOCK seem not the least ill at ease between sessions of his trial in Boston on charges of counseling young men to avoid the draft

Qr ^ The summer international high society axis was being relocated in 1868 at the smallest State. Before the Civil War, Newport was a magnet chiefly for rich South Carolinians, Georgians, and West Indian planters disposed to "invest the profits from commercial enterprise in a few months of expensive recreation in the refreshing Northern climate.’’ The quoted phrase is from Stephen Birmingham’s illuminating new social history, The Right People (published by Little, Brown & Co.).

After the Civil War, when Newport still alternated with Providence as the capital of Rhode Island, Bostonians began to arrive, among them men-of-letters, artists. William Morris Hunt established himself as the court-painter. His architect brother, Richard M., "found Newport a town of wooden houses and left it one of marble mansions,” it was stated—for New Yorkers who followed Bostonians to the town and endeavored in all ways to outdo them.
