ed on the only month of seclu-
sion they, caught in the SPOT
light which seeks out British
royalty, may ever have.
Armed with ration books
which they took along, they sat
down to a three-course austerity
dinner-soup, chicken with two
vegetables and ice cream.
As they started their bridal
dinner the Dean of Westminster,
in the now gloomy old Abbey,
put the Princess's wedding bou-
quet by her request on the hal
lowed tomb of Britain's un-
known warrior past which she
had walked to the altar this
morning.
King George started the
royal couple off with gesture
which assured that the bride
groom, in his difficult future rule
of ocnsort, would have as nearly
equal status with his wife as was
possible.
The King made the newly
created Duke of Edinburgh also
4 British royal prince, and thus
put him on equal footing with
the kings own brothers the
Dukes of Windsor and Glouces-
ter.

of the Garter, an honor which
the King had bestowed Wednes-

three British titles of nobility.

marriage of the royal couple, its

Arab attacks which have been

Fate In Doubt
The fate of partition itself was
still i ndoubt. Zionist sources at
UN claimed they had lined up
the two-thirds majority needed
for General Assembly approval
of partition. Arabs, bitterly fight
ing partition, claimed they had
enough votes to defeat the pro-
gram.
Cadogan did not pass judgment
on the overall partition propo-
sails, but specifically rejected
these details of the Soviet-Amer-
lean suggestions: (1) Tha; a UN
commission supervise the trans
fe rof British control to the new
Arab and Jewish states that
would be carved out of Palestine;
and (2) that the dtaes for the
end Of British rule and the with
drawal of British troops be agreed
to by Britain and the UN Securi-
ty Council.
Cadogan reserved Britain's
right to quit Palestine at any
hour after UN votes for partition

women and children shouted
and shrieked.
All over London, all over this
kingdom in English, Welsh and
Sco.s public places. the toasts Of
the newly married couple were
drunk. Around the globe in the
Princess's future empire there
were celebrations of the same
kind.
Police reported $500 casual
ties along the packed procession
route - some of them with brok-
en- limbs.
Special Train
The bridal couple rode in
their gaily decorated special
train, the engine whistle footing
bravely, past town and village
where crowds waved and cheer
ed from fiag-decked stations.
The train reached Winchester
shortly after 6 pm. There was
a civic reception and the honey
mocners, with Elizabeth carry.
ing her little Welsh Corgi pet
dog, drove through lanes of
shouting villagers to quiet Rom
sey.
They drove through the gates
into the estate, the country
home Of Philips uncle Earl
Moumtbatten, and as the gates
changed shut Scotland yard men
took up their stations.
1t is a strange honeymoon
place for two royal people-ever

the mansion has been a hos

'8.-Seven hundred Jews. who
will be returned to France after
an unsuccessful attempt to en-
ter Palestine, disembarked peace
fully this morning from the Brit
ish ship Ocean Vigour. when q
cry went up that they were going
to be put aboard a train in wire
enc osures and the re-
naming 800 on the ship refused
to disembark.
They rushed into the ships
hold and were followed by
company of British troops. armed
with rubber clubs. In a few mo-
ments the commander sent up
word for further help, and an
other company was sent into the
hold.
One by one, the Jews were
dragged out of the ships hold
and put aboard the train. At least
two troopers handled each Jew.
but in some cases Jews fought
so violently as to require as many
as four soldiers to handle single
Jew. The Jews did not attempt
to injure the soldiers and none of
the soldiers used the rubber
clubs.
AS the Jews were taken toward
the train, Red Cross workers Of
fered them food, which they
grabbed and threw back into the
faces of the Red Cross workers.
Even when the Jews were aboard
the coaches, the seats of which
had been removed, they contin-
iued to refuse TO accept food and
threw sandwiches and other
foodstuffs through the meshes in
the wiring at nnlookers.
However. the Jews eagerly ac-
.cepted chocolate bars that were
passed through the meshes TO
them. The bars were given them
by correspondents.
