LONDON, July 11-Ill-fed, ILL
housed and ill-clothed Britons were
invited today by the widely circu-
lated Daily Express to vote on
whether Princess Elizabeth's we'd
ding should be shadowed by the ra-
toned austerity under which the
Kings subjects live.
Should there be flags and par
ties and bands and vote from pub
lie funds to make Princess Eliza
beth's wedding day our most
colorfully festive occasion since the
coronation?" the Express asked. "Or
should the austerity of life and the
government dictate an occasion
where Britain's traditional salute to
happiness would seem out of placer"
The paper, which claims a circu-
lation of 3,973,287-nearly one out
of every 10 Britons-asked its read
ers to write yes" or mo" on post
card in answer to the question:
Should the princess wedding day
be selected as the first postwar oc-
casion to restore to Britain the ira
ditional gaiety of gala public
event?"
Big Celebration Suggested.
The Express suggested that the
wedding celebration should include
professions, reviews, parties, bal
cony scenes and fireworks"
Life" it said, "is too drab to pass
up this chance of having fun"
The day is certain to be a public
holiday, although the wedding date
expected to be some time in
October-has not yet been an
nounced.
The date will be chosen by the
King and Queen in consultation
with Princess Elizabeth and the
bridegroom-Lt. Philip Mountbat-
ten, former Prince Philip OF
Greece.
One Of the princess biggest
problems will be her trouseau, and
the Daily Telegram reported that
she would have a special allotment
of clothing coupons for division
among the dressmakers of the
swank West End shops where she
bought outfits for her royal tour
Of South Africa.
The Queen, bridesmaids and pages
may also receive special allotments
OF clothing coupons, of which 1S
are needed to purchase a woman s
dress, 26 for a mans suit and eight
for a pair of shoes.
Princess Elizabeth's wedding gown
may be specially woven with SYM
bolic designs such as the Tudor
Rose, according to the Telegraph,
or it may be made from heirloom
lace in the royal family's collection.
Honeymoon Trip Is Question.
The Tudor Rose would symbolic
the Tudor dynasty which ended
with the death of Queen Elizabeth
in 1903.
Another problem was where to
spend the honeymoon.
1t is known that both Australia
and Canada are hopeful of royal
visit soon and the welcome mat
would be out anywhere in the COM
monwealth, but the inevitable cere-
monies accompanying such a visit
might be considered inappropriate
for wedding trip.
The couple are both fond of driv-
ing and friends have reported that
they might make a tour.
Most of Britain's royalty has
honeymooned in isolated royal cas-
ties or ancient manors.
The late Duke of Kent and Prin-
cess Marina stayed at Himley Hall,
a Midlands mansion now used by
the National Coal Board as q re-
gional administrative center.
The princess grandfather-King
George V-took Queen Mary to the

Tommy English Jailed
After Court Refuses.
Cash Bond Of $4,000

Tommy English, "a, former
"Blackface Gang" member, await
ing sentencing on one housebreak-
ing charge and grand jury action
on another, was in District Jail
today after Municipal Court Judge
Thomas D. Quinn refused a $4,000
cash bond.
English's counsel, r. Edward
Buckley, said his clients wife had
raised the cash but that Judge
Quinn said he would accept moth
ing but real estate bond. The
bondsman who had put up $4,000
for English on the first housebreak-
ing charge, Mr.. Buckley said, re-
fused to put up the real estate bond
in the second case.
English and Harry L. Galley, Is,
of the HOO block of Fourth street
S.W., were held under $4,000 bond
for grand jury action by Judge
Quinn yesterday. Both men pleaded
not guilty.
English was arrested at his home
and Galley on a street corner early
Wednesday morning shortly after
Pvt. Vincent Antonellis' suspicious
were aroused when he saw three men
leaving 811 Eleventh street NV. at
/ am
Third Man Released.
At a preliminary hearing yester-
day, Judge Quinn said he believed
the Government had made a prima
facie case against both men on the
ground that Galley could not explain
his presence across the city from
his home at that hour and because
English was fully dressed at 4:30
am.
The judge also pointed out that
Pvt. Antonelli had testified that a
woman in English's home at first
refused to admit the policeman. u
A third man was released when
the Government filed no papers in
his case. @'''s ss.', ,'.','t'
In his testimony, Pvt. AntoneEi
described seeing three men, discov-
ering the door at the Eleventh street
address was unlocked, finding
jimmy had been used on second
floor Office of the United Insurance
Co., and noticing q safe had been
overturned and tampered with.
Recognized English's Clothes. q
Pvt. Antonelli said he picked up
the man, who was later released, at
the Greyhound bus terminal and
said he found Galley leaning against
a lamppost on Eleventh street. He
said he took English into custody
at his home because one of the trio
he saw on Eleventh street appeared
to be wearing clothes similar to.
those he had seen English wearing
recently.
Pvt. Antonelli said he took English
with him to 811 Eleventh street
where the other two men were be-
ing held. He said he realized then
that English and Galley knew one
another because they discussed serv-
ing time together at Lorton Re-
formatory.
In their conversation, English
told Galley not to "implicate me in
this" the policeman said.
Last week, English pleaded guilty
to housebreaking charge and was
free on q $4,000 bond pending SEN
fencing when he was arrested yes
terday. Galley was released from
Lorton last month after serving
six years for house breaking.
