DEMAND RIGHTS
Lord Beaverbrook's powerful
Daily Express answered that today
with a demand she hang on to her
royal rights and shun a “second
class" marriage that would rele
gate her and her husband to the
I role of ordinary man and wife, far
removed from the throne.
The tryst in the country was
described as a "weekend of re
discovery’’—a few days together to
see if Margaret and Townsend’s
1 love for one another had survived
his two years and four months of
1 exile.
Queen Elizabeth II returns by
overnight train from Scotland to
hear her sister’s decision on wheth
er she still loves and wants to
marry Townsend.
Margaret’s romance undoubtedly
had the backing of the people of
Britain who devoured every line
they could read on her and Town
send’s activities.
The Express thundered today
that it would be “deplorable” if
the princess renounces her suc
cession.
WITHIN THE LAW
“Marriage ‘on condition’ would
suggest a marriage not entirely
acceptable,” it said. “The Implica
tion would be that the marriage,
, though within the letter of the law,
had something wrong with it.
"The mass of the British people
would utterly reject this. In the
public mind there is no such thing
as a ‘second class’ marriage."

unique flavor of the interest in this

A beach appearance at Port Jef

a near mob scene. ,
According to one account, Ros

drowsing himself, together with

The Hastens’ weekend guests, a
half dozen people including Mari
lyn, had harlly setted os a secuded
section of the North Shore beach
when, from all sides, spectators
began converging.
Within 10 minutes, a vast collec

had grouped around the sun-bath

loudly expressisg their apprecia

Marilyn back into deep water. They
swam until they ha] outdistanced

THE CULTURAL YEARNINGS
ARE REAL
In a phase of U. S. history in
which the cerebral is distrusted
and the intellectual is dismissed
as an “egghead.” Mariyn Monroe
perversely entertains a respect for
education that amounts to a rever
ence. ,
.The desperate eagerness to fill
the cutural gaps in a sporadic and
incomplete education extends as far
back in her career as anyone can
remember. „ ,
Insofar as her reading habits are
fiercely regular and on a high level,
a friend notes, those cultural' years
nings are real and have been un
fairly derided.
He agrees, however, that it is al
most impossible to ascertain how
far the painful progress through
the classes has penetrated.
“You’re never quite sure how
much she’s learned,” he aald.
“She learns slowly, but once she’s
absorbed something, she holds on
to it.
‘And she’s so purposeful about
the whole business that, even When
