Poper Urges Royal Fomily
TO CIorify Margaret Case

LONDON, Oct. 20 tR.-The
strongly conservative Daily Tele-
graph warned today that the
British royal family is suffering
a Gloss Of dignity" by its failure
to clarity the Princess Margaret
Peter Townsend mystery.
The surprising editorial in the
Telegraph. which supports Prime
Minister Eden and is conceded
to have excellent sources Of in
formation from high places,
could be taken to imply that the
royal family alone is responsible
for withholding a public state
ment which would end the spec
ulation over the royal romance.
This long -drawn-out business
day after day must be highly irk-
some to the two persons most
closely affected" said the Tele-
graph. Does it not also in-
wolves d certain loss Of dignity "a
q wider field? Is it not unfaii'
to the royal family as whole Z
''The longer any element Of
mystery is allowed to lingef in
this affair. the more deplorable
the publicity is likely TO be-
come"
Guests Of Canterbury
Princess Margaret. Queen
Elizabeth II, the Duke of Edin-
burgh and the Queen Mother
were the dinner guests last night
of the Archbishop Of Canterbury
and so other high-ranking
Church of England clergymen
at Lambeth Palace, the Arch
bishops London residence.
As the ranking prelate of the
church, which officially outlaws
the remarriage Of divorced per-
sons whose former mates are
living, the Archbishop has be-
come a central figure in the talk
of possible Margaret Townsend
marriage.
The 40-year-old Townsend, an
RAF group captain and hero of
the Battle of Britain. divorced
his wife on charges of miscon-
duct. He is the father Of two
sons.
Margaret rode solemnly to the
dinner party with Queen Mother
Elizabeth, who is reported to
have supported her 25-year-old
daughter In her desire to marry
Capt. Townsend.
Queen Elizabeth, who is OFF,
cial head OF the church, went
with her husband, who is re-
ported to frown on the con-
templated marriage.

Board Imposes
Controls Over
Teacher Shifts
BY JAMES G. pEANE

The Board Of Education will
take q hand in any further
emergency District teacher shuf-
fling.
School Supt. Hobart M. Corn
ling yesterday was instructed to
clear any further teacher trans
Ifers in advance with the boards
personnel committee.
The action was taken at a
turbulent session which attracted
ian overflow audience Of parents,
many Of whom attended to pro-
test new teacher -shuffiing plans.
Spokesman for several parent
organizations opposed teacher
transfers now under considera-
|tion. Board members also pressed
|Dr. Corning for more informa-
|tion on oversize classes, which
have drawn many parent COM
plants.
Clearance of future teacher
transfers by board members
was suggested by Walter N. To-
Ibriner. personnel chairman, and
Col. West A. Hamilton.
Defended by Corning
The board normally gives for
NAL approval to transfers after
they already have taken effect.
Mr.. Tobrfner said, however, that
.'in view of the very serious
situation" he felt the board
should get advance notice, so
that 1t could exercise at least
q temporary veto over them il
it seemed advisable.
DR.. Corning defended the
transfers, asserting they are re-
Iquired in order to equalize class
sizes as much as possible from
building to building. But he said
he would welcome having the
committee take a hand in them.
DR.. Corning told the meeting
that school boundary changes re-
quired by integration had in
creased the number of teacher
shifts necessary this fall. Many
pupil shifts also have been nec-
essary. he added.
DR.. Margaret j. Butcher. board
member, strongly criticized the
teacher transfers.
There's no justification for
the shufiing," she asserted. She
also questioned why DR.. Corning
had asked the Commissioners for
20 extra teachers when the term
opened with q reported shortage
of so. adding she felt the ooard
ought to ask the city heads for
whatever is really needed.
Member Robert r. Faulkner
also criticized the failure of
school officials to calculate in
advance how many teachers they
would need and Mrs. Manson
B. Pettit said she felt six weeks
after the start of school was late
for teacher shifts.
Mrs. Petit supported DR..
