SHAW IS KISSED
FOR INSULT TO
BRITISH PRINCE
Reluctance to Preside at
Prize Presentation Is
MiSconStrued.

By United Press
LONDON, Nov. 29.-George Ber-
nard Shaw did a rare thing Thurs
day night. He admitted that he
had met a more important person
than himself. But for all Of the
noted critics attempt to be deferen-
tial to the prince of Wales, he re-
ceived only the Kisses of an audience
which misconstrued his motive.
The incident occurred during a
charity boxing tournament at the
stadium club. One of the Journeys
sponsors, spotting Shaw's spade
beard in the audience, went to his
side and asked him to present the
prizes to the winners.
Shaw showed no willingness to
accept the offer. Three members
Of the prince of Wales party APP
parently had joined in the request
and while Shaw expostulated, the
prince cast several glances in the
direction of the critic.
Shaw then refused emphatically
and the audience centered its atten-
ton on him. They saw the prince
looking anXiously toward the gather
ing around Shaw and drew their
own conclusiOn-that Shaw had re-
fused to meet the heir to Britain's
throne. The kissing began and grew
steadily in volume.
The arrival of a substitute finally
detracted attention from the audi
ence and the show continued.
Shaw later. explaining his action
TO newspaper men, said:
"As the prince was present 1t was
hardly correct for me to present the
prizes. Besides, the boxers wanted
to receive the prizes from the prince.
