Stocks Mixed, Utilities
Come Under Pressure
NEW YORK, Dec. 2l (AP)

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 (AP) -
Utility stocks came under re-

market trading early this after

On average, the mark e t

Selling in utilities was traced
by analysts to two main factors.
One was profit taking by mu-
tual funds to gather funds they
can pay out as capital gains to
their shareholders. The groups
strong 1861 advance makes this
possible. The other factor was
the possibility of increased Gov

made a break with tradition by being
educated not by govemesses, but by going
to a boarding school - the first British
princess to do so. Then she finished her
schooling in Paris.
Back to London for a short nursing
course, and the inevitable royal round of
public duties. Since Princess Margaret's
marriage, Alexandra has taken over lot of
chores that were Margaret's - making ap-
pearances, officiating at public ceremonies,
visiting far-hung member nations of the
Commonwealth. Her first major test in
royal affairs came when she visited Nigeria
last year.
She discovers glamour
Now noted for her beauty and poise,
Princess Alexandra was definitely not
dazzling teen-ager. For one thing, she was
plump. For another, British parents and
schools are more interested in education,
study and sports for their young daughters
than in parties, fashionable clothes and
dates. Young British girls dress simply and
plainly until they are considered old enough
to do otherwise. When Alexandra went to
Paris, she was able to start developing her
innate sense of style. It's based on the ele-
gance inspired by her mother, who has long
appeared on America s Best Dressed Women
list.
I'm no clothes-peg," Alexandra has
said, but she, too, has now appeared on the
list for two years. For a member of the
royal family, she does not dress extrava-
gantly and both she and her mother are
noted for their ability to look fabulous for
a relatively small expenditure.
At home in the country, Alexandra may
wear bright shirts with shorts or slacks, has
even been known to wear rolled.up blue
jeans, but in public her clothes are elegant
though usually quite simple. She likes red,
vivid green and the warmer blues, as well
as most light colors, doesn't care for fussy
accessories.
Designer Norman Hartnell makes lot of
her state and formal gowns, but she buys
many of her clothes ''off the peg (ready-
made), a practice unknown to most royalty.
And in appreciation, the London ready-to-
wear industry asked her officially to open
the groups fall shows earlier this month.
Alexandra can never resist a new hat,
and has been the first with many millinery
styles which have then turned into the
fashion for the younger London set. once
heard her tell girl friend: ri do like hats
to be whacky, but not too whacky.''

schoolgirl of few years ago - Alexandra,

with her honey-blond hair, her blue eyes
and Royal Windsor complexion, falls
short Of great classic beauty only by slight
rise on her Roman nose. But quite apart
from her beauty, people succumb to her
quite natural charm.
Serenity makes beauty
The secret of this charm is relaxation"
She learned in Paris never to waste energy
in movement, to walk at the same pace,
move gracefully and unhurriedly. Her
mother has always taught her never to
show anger or to snap in annoyance, be-
cause it spoils beauty. Calmness and seren-
ity are perfect words for her. But she loves
to have fun. A collector of dance and Jazz
records (Nat King Cole and Louis Arm
strong are tops in her disk collection), she
likes to dance too.
"Alex," as she's known to her intimates,
rides and swims, plays tennis with enthusi-
asm but not much skill C'Mummy always
beats me" she complains). A firm believer
in daily exercise in the open air, she goes
out even in the rain. If she can't ride, then
she walks, perhaps taking the dogs along.
Her honey-blond hair is dressed by Rene
of Mayfair, also Princess Margaret's hair
dresser. She has no permanent, preferring
her own slight natural wave. With no per-
sonal maid, she brushes her own hair nightly
to give it high sheen. Her coiffures are

President Kennedy salvaged

families in the Senate early

yesterday.
It was 1:35 am. when the

Senator Albert Gore, Demo-

unexpected attack on Mr.. Ken

40-year mortgages with no

was designed to bring monthly
payments on new homes within
the means of families earning
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year.

formally to the Western Big
Three that West Germany is
organizing international prov
ocations and en- d a ng erin g

the West German Parliament
in West Berlin.

on Berlin is in no way altered

Propaganda Aim Seen
Felix Won Eckardt, the West
German government spokes-
man, told a news conference
the Soviet Union was making
trouble only for propaganda
purposes.
Nobody could conceivably
treat these activities of our
government as a threat to
peace" Mr.. Eckardt said. He
added that the meetings Of the
committees were in full accord
with the four-power status OF
Berlin and thus could not be
challenged on legal grounds.
Only last week end Premier
Khrushchev told President
Kennedy in Vienna that West
Berlin is a bone that must
come out of the Soviet throat.
