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." M. Monroe (Continued from Page One’ Beach are almost as common as clam shells and usually treated as casually. Yet in keeping with the unique flavor of the interest in this celebrity, the crowds arounl Mar ilyn Monroe on the beach grew so dense and bothersome one week asd that a police guard reportedly was provided by the local authori ties. A beach appearance at Port Jef ferson a few weeks later resulted in a near mob scene. , According to one account, Ros ten was so incensed an the ab sence of privacp that he risked drowsing himself, together with MM Proluctions’ prize asset, In or der to escape a crowd of Monroe rans. 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 tion of teesagers and their elders had grouped around the sun-bath ing party, taking photographs and loudly expressisg their apprecia tion of the figure that was deco rated by Miss Monroe’s swimsuit. Hoping they would leave if the Chief attraction vanished, Rostes suggested a swim. Very soon, he and Marilyn were surrounded by several dozen bathers, all of (them trying to get close to her. As the pair started back to the shore, an alarming number of those left on the beach surged to the water’s edge. Grimly deter mined to escape, Ros ten urged Marilyn back into deep water. They swam until they ha] outdistanced even the most indefatigable of her fans. i Several hundred feet off shore, they flagged a passing motor boot. The two young men who made up the boat’s crew were delighted to THE DAILY RECORD, DtiVN, N. O. take them aboard. The craft took them to a distant, empty stretch of beach where Miss Monroe and Rosten < .tuld thumb a ride home without being followed to her week enl headquarters. When she slays in town for the week-end. she regularly descends from the Waldorf Towers, packs two bicycles into her car and with her secretary, drives to Brooklyn. They pedal down Ocean Park way to Coney Island where, de spite conspicuously Hoilywroodian dark glasses, they stand unno ticed at Nathan’s, washing down frankfurters with root beer. Except for the few manifesta tion of frenzy among her fans, Marilyn tells her friends, her life in anr around New York has given her a freedom and happiness which she has seldom experienced. Marilyn appears to consider her new New York frienls largely responsible for her new bliss.” A product of foster-home up* bringing, she is a model house guest. She plays with the children in friends homes, helps with the dishes, makes her own bed and doesn’t litter the place with her be longings. Too, she showers her hosts with admiration. She is aware that they are per sons with high literacy rates, as achievement that attracts her as an elaborate window display would excite the interest and envy of a chad from a welfare-roll family. 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 you suspect it might always be eut of her reach, j»u keep thinking she might arrive at some kind *f Irtata of artistically advanced grace. “But I suppose,” he sighed, that as long as she lets loose with quote characterizing ."The Brothers Karamazov' as great sex story,* the intelectuals will wince.” TOMORROW: What Marilyn Says.
