(AP)-A 10-year-old ballerina from Palm Beach could be an American se cret weapon. She is Claudia Cravey, baby prima ballerina of the first Ameri can full-length ballet, "The Prin cess." produced by philanthropist Frank. J. Hale and Paul Crabtree, and scheduled to open on Broad way in the fall. Next in impact could be her 8-year-old sister, Clara Beth. "If we could present these won derful American kids in this alt American ballet at the Moscow World's Fair.' we'd steal all the thunder of the vaunted Russian ballet," says Hale. He's the found er of the Academy Royale, a non profit institution dedicated to luncheon at the giving American boys and girls a the Golden Age i chance to develop their talents in Uie ballet, the theater and music. Critics who have seen the fresh and charming ballet in its initial presentations in Palm Beach seem to agree with him. And so docs the girl who wrote the libretto and trained the young dancers, Jo Anna, a ballerina from Durban, South Africa, wife of the stage manager, Ted Kneeland.

"We've all been taken in by a lot of intellectually snobbish hocus pocus about the ballet," says Jo Anna. "Our intention here is to present a form of ballet which the general public can understand, and which gives an opportunity to the wonderful, fresh talent of American youngsters. "You don't have to starve in a garret and live on borsht for 20 years to be a great ballerina. The proof is in these children who have captivated audiences at the Royal Poinciana Playhouse, after train ing of only a few months." "We're in on the ground floor of a great new national awakening of art in America," says Hale. "Kids all over the country, in small towns and on farms from Maine to Arizona are feeling the urge to express themselves. If they've got what it takes, they'll have a chance to show it here. We screen applicants for the acad emy, and if they make the grade, they get scholarships. In this one year of operation, we've found that American youngsters do have what it takes.

By DOROTHY ROC Aitocitttd Prtu Womtn'i Editor A baby is more important than an Academy award any day, says Dionae ana neautitul uioria Gra hame, who gave up her movie ca reer at its height to stay home and take care of her baby daugh ter. For two years Gloria has been concentrating on formulas and playpens rather than Klieg lights, giving full attention to Marianna Pauletle, now 2, and her son Dav id, now 10. All of a sudden I just felt it wasn't fair to the baby just to leave her with a nurse when she was so little," she said. I felt lone some for her and I wasn't around her. So I just dropped everything and went in for being a fulltime mother." Gloria, who has starred both on Broadway and in Hollywood, now is making a new picture, "Odds Against Tomorrow," filmed in New York. She arranged her schedule, however, so she would be away from her home in Van Nuys, Calif., only two weeks. "I call up the children every night. It's awful to be so far away from them," she said. Little Marianna was born in Paris, soon after Gloria completed the London filming of "The Man Who Never Was," with Clifton Webb. Soon after the baby's birth Gloria and her husband, writer producer Cy Howard, were divorc ed. "I guess that had something to do with my feeling," says Gloria. "I felt that the baby deserved the full-time attention of at least one parent." , Gloria was born In Pasadena, Calif., daughter of Jean MacDou gall, a British actress. She started her stage career immediately aft er graduation from high school, first making a name on Broad way, then going to- Hollywood, where shw won an Academy nomi nation for her first picture, and got an Oscar for the best support ing performance of the year in "The Bad and the Beautiful." "I hope now I'U be able to make a few pictures and still spend most of my time with the children," says Gloria. "A career is nice, of course, but children are nicer."

Appeal To Scientists Made For New Cold Pill By DOROTHY ROE Here's a woman's-eyo view of what is wrong with the world, written behind a barricade of pill bottles, tissues and cough medi cine. Scientists should stop trying to conquer outer space until they suc ceed in conquering the common cold. ' In this age of modern miracles, why hasn't some geniu-! come up with a miracle cold pill? This, I am sure, would be of far more benefit to suffering humanity than a moon satellite.

We have push-button kitchens, no-iron clothes, jet airplanes and guided missiles, yet half the world's population is still sneez ing. My outlook may be slightly jaundiced on account of having been unduly exposed for the last few'duys to a steady barrage of television commercials running something like this: "At the first sneeze, take mir acle sniffle-eeze . . ." "For all cold ills, take our jet propelled pills . . ." "Chase cold germs away the modern way ..." "Cold miseries slop with super charged glop . . ." The cold, hard facts are that even in the current space age, atomic scientists and hard-working housewives alike may still he fell ed by the old-fashioned common cold, and there's precious little they can do about it that's differ ent from what grandma used to do. I've been consuming quantities of the newest miracle pills as duly prescribed by a doctor, but I'm still in bed drinking hot lemonade, like grandma used to do. .
