Vl 1 "MIIIU III j Prince Battles Photographic Complications By EDDY GILMORE MONTE CARLO W - P r I R e Rainier and a handful of Monacan officials grappled this week with mounting press problems poeed by th Rainier-Kelly wedding. "I don'Uwant thia wedding to become a circus," aaid the prince. "I want It to be dignified - and I can b brutal about it if I have to." Whatever the Prince's views are on a circus, his principality is beginning to look somewhat like It. Gay lights ring the harbor. Offi cials have strung flags and bunt ing everywhere. Powerful spot lights ar being installed to light up the courtyard in front of the palace, where lavish spectacles ar planned. Barber pole striped flagpoles hav been put up at the border so the visitor immediately known something is afoot. Hia highness has been showing growing sensitivity to photo graphers, in which his bride-to-be Grace Kelly has Joined. The lensmen, in trying to do their Job. haven't been completely blameless. The Prince and Grace both frowned and muttered when a French photographer lay down in front of their car to prevent their progress. Teak Plctarea It was a case of running over the photographer or letting him take the picture. He took the pic ture but the palace decided to bar news photographers from the throne room marriage ceremony on Wednesday. Intolerable maneuver" was given as the reason. There are hundreds of corres pondents,') photographers, news- reel, television and radio com mentators and even a cartoonist (Giles of London's Daily Express) here now. 1,307 AccreditatiMS Four days before the civil mar riage, the Prince a press nureau had passed out accreditation cards to 1.307 persons. "But," said a smiling young woman behind the counter, "we've had letters asking for accredits tion from many more. We expect 2.000." Any reporter making the longj round ol hotel loDBies, restaurants, bars, the gambling casino and cabaret places where people here for the wedding congregate can hear men and women with press cards admitting they are not really here to cover the wedding "Earnest b u t inexperienced,' was the way one correspondent who has covered scores of inter national conferences and news events described the Monacan Press Bureau. Many I'nqnallfied " As a consequence many peopl who probably were not entitled to them were given press accredi tat ion. In charge of press arrangements is a professional actor and friend of Rainier s, Jean Gastaud-Mer cury. Correspondents and photo graphers have found him hard to sec Written requests and sugges tions sent to him have been for warded to the Prince, FT. LEE, Va.
