picked up placards across the
street from the park and began
marching in front Of the west

| Ten minutes later a dozen
pickets broke off from the main
contingent and trooped to the
main entrance.
An average of three Mont

trolled the perimeter of the
park, and dozen special police

white, nearly half from nearby
neighborhoods. An estimated
100 persons took part in the
six-hour demonstration.

SENATES RULES
TO BE ENFORCED
FOR FILIBUSTER

Since no Senator can
speak more than twice on
the business pending be-
fore the Senate. every ef-
fort to get a man off his
feet on a point of order
will be made during the
current filibuster.
Hence. said Senator
Monroney, look for the
following ten rules to be
applied as long as the fill
ibuster lasts. The man
who fails to observe them
can lose the floor.
/. Every man must speak
from behind his desk. He
cannot walk up and down
the aisle or around to i'm
press his audience.
2. The speaker cannot
lean on his desk with his
hands to take the weight
off his feet.
3. The speaker cannot
sit on his chair or his desk.
4. The speaker cannot
yield to another member
without unanimous consent
except for q question.
5. The questioner cannot
present such a long and
rambling question that it is
more in the nature of a
speech.
6. The speaker cannot
yield for a quorum call
without unanimous con-
sent.
7. He cannot refer disre-
spectfully to the State of
another.
8. He cannot refer to
another Senator in a de-
rogatory manner.
9. He cannot use profane
language.
10. He cannot eat any,
thing, though he may drink
water. Whether or not a
point or order could sue
ceSsfully be raised if the
filibusterer tried taking
liquid foods. has never been
settled. The elder La Fol-

delight: its favorite fairy
princess is engaged to be
married.
The betrothal of Britain's
Princess Margaret Rose to
Court Photographer Antony
Armstrong-JoneS was an

Queen Elizabeth, the Queen
Mother.
The news was greeted with
rejoicing by a generation
that has watched Margaret
grow from a lively, unpre
dictable child into beautiful,
viWcious womanhood.
Queen Elizabeth's younger
sister, unwilling to be bound
completely by stuffy court
regulation, has always lived
a gay life of her own. Some
critics labeled her a play
girl for her partying and
love of jazz and good times.
But it was four years ago
that rigid royal tradition for
bade her her first great love:
Peter Townsend, a divorced
man she had known since
her teens.
Margaret Rose. always a
religious girl, needed the
Church of England, which
opposes remarriage of di-
vorced persons.
Since she renounce
Townsend-who has since
married again-there had
been a swirl Of speculation
over future romance for the
blue-eyed princess. And many
recalled an ancient legend
attending her birth in Clam
is Castle, Scotland. on Au-
gust 81, 1880.

The legend Of Glamis Cas-
tie was that any girl born
there would be married be-

become a spinster. Betrothed

baby would be a son and heir.
They already had a 4-year-

The little PrincesSes were

Elizabeth was reserved and
somewhat retiring, always

the manner Of her grand
mother, the Dowager Queen
Mary. Margaret was known
as the mischievous one with
a vivid imagination.
Margaret was only 5 at
