Princess Margaret Rose
Reaches 20th Birthday
Balmoral, Scotland, Aug. 21 U.R) Princess Margaret left' her
'teens today amid the rustle of royal silk skirts and the baying of
hunting dogs, and, perhaps, with the name of her future husband
on her lips.
Margaret, younger daughter of the king and queen, becamt 20.
She was born at ancient Glam-
Is castle, the setting for Shake
speare's Macbeth. And accord
ing to legend, which Scots here
abouts firmly believe, any girl
born at Glamis knows her fu
ture husband by the time she is
20.
So todayt is a bit differnt from
the previous birthdays the prin
cess spent here with her family
and friends. What makes it even
more of an occasion is that the
man who may turn out to be
her husband and some London
newspapers already are calling
him her fiancee is a Scot him
self. He Is the handsome Earl of
Dalkeith, 26-year-old heir to the
dukedom of Buccleuch. One day
the studious, music-loving earl
will be among the richest men in
Britain, the owner of six man
sions and more than 500,000
acres in seven Scottish counties.
A persistent report here today
said Dalkeith has been invited
to the birthday party the king
and queen are giving for Mar
garet tonight.
Birthday greetings from 'all
over the world piled up in Bal
moral's tiny post office and will
be delivered throughout the day.
Gifts also have arrived by spe
cial couriers, although many, in
cluding a television set for Mar
garet's private salon, were taken
to her London home, Bucking
ham palace.
Margaret's first visitors this
morning was her mother, Queen
Elizabeth. A spokesman at the
palace said if the weather is good
the sun was to break through
grey skies the queen and the
princess would go fishing.
King George, up early, led a
party across the heathered hills
for grouse shooting.
The royal family, including
Margaret, probably will remain
here until early October.

Civilians to
Rule Austria
Washington. Aug. 21 W The
United States is reported plan
ning to transfer the occupation
of Austria from military to ci
vilian direction in October.
Informed diplomatic officials
who reported this over the week
end also said Walter J. Donnelly
probably will be named U. S.
high commissioner for the Amer
ican zone of Austria. Donnelly
is now ambassador to Venezuela.
The move, designed to give
Austria's government as. much
freedom of operation as possible
pending a final peace treaty, was
agreed upon by the U. S., Britain
and France last May, but no
timetable was then set up.
Roosevelt 'Race'
Denied by James
New York, Aug. 21 (P) James
Roosevelt, democratic nominee
for governor of California, de
nies that he and his brother,
Rep. Franklin R. Roosevelt, Jr.,
both have their eyes on the presi
dency.
The Califorman made the
statement in answering news
men's questions yesterday on the
NBC "Meet the Press" program.
Speaking of himself and his
brother, the democratic-liberal
congressman who seeks re-elec
tion in Manhattan this fall, he
declared:
"We both want to do a good
job. ... I don't know what the
future holds tor him. All I know
is that I hope it will be my priv
ilege to be the governor of California."
The congressman has been
mentioned as a possibility for the
democratic nomination for gov
ernor in New York State.
Wife of Congressman to Tell
Story of Forgotten Artist
By BARMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington, Aug. 21 MB One of the best reporters In our
town is a lovely little white-haired lady from Arizona. She isn't
interested in pecking out little pieces for the papers on deadline;
The lady takes her time.
Myrtle Cheney Murdock, wife of the congressman from Arizona,
has spent 14 years looking into-
the background of the artist
who painted most of the fres
coes, or murals, which decorate
the inside of the dome of our
capitol.
When Mrs. Murdock came to
Washington with her husband
she was amazed to learn that
few people ever had heard of
Constantino Brumidi, who came
here from Italy about 100 years
ago.
So she went to work.. She
searched the files of the library
of congress, which is supposed to
know everything. There was
little or nothing in print about
this man. She asked around
and found that nobody even
knew where he was buried.
Fisherman's Body Found

Mrs. Murdock, being a good
reporter, made the rounds of
old graveyards in the vicinity
of Washington, and learned that
Brumidi was six feet under in
an unmarked grave in Glenwood
cemetery, right here in the district.
The wife of the congressman
is putting her research on paper.
It'll come out in an elaborate
book, with colored pictures of
some of the murals, some time
in November. The book will be
called "Constantino Brumidi,
Michaelangelo of the United
States capitol."
So far as Mrs. Murdock is
concerned it's a labor of love.
She doesn't expect even to get
her money back. She has spent
lot.
"I had a very dickens of
time trying to track down the
background on this great man,"
she said. "I understood that he
had married his model after
coming here, but I could not
find any of the relatives to
prove it. I couldn't find any
body who ever heard of her.
And I found few who even had
heard of Brumidi."
For the record, Brumidi came
nere irom Italy and gave 25
years of his life in devotion to
his adopted Uncle Sam. He was
almost 50 years old when he
reached Washington in 1852.
The senate annex was nearing
completion and the rotunda of
the dome was taking form.
He started out, with consent
of congress, by painting murals
about the corridors and rooms
of the capitol building in a burst
of patriotism after he was grant
ed citizenship he proudly signed
one painting in the house mere
ly "citizen of the United States."
Mrs. Murdock learned,
through tireless research, that
Brumidi worked under difficul
ties. When he painted, in color,
the frescoes under our most fam
ous dome, the work had to be
done on wet plaster.
The artist would make a
rough draft in oil and then
would hurry up the steps of the
capitol in the dark of night and
work like mad to complete a
picture before the plaster dried.

When Mrs. Murdock found
the Italian's unmarked grave,
she was depressed. First she
got her congressman-husband to
introduce a bill in the house ap
propriating $200 to mark the
grave. A marker will be com
ing up soon.
Mrs. Murdock noted that the
fence surrounding the cemetery
lot was badly in need of paint.
Without fanfare, she went
there one day recently and
painted it herself.

Prison Riots
Under Control
San Quentin, Calif., Aug. 21 W)
The eleven ringleaders of
three week-end riots in San
Quentin prison were held in sol
itary confinement today.
All outbreaks were In t h e
mess hall.
Eleven men were injured by
flying trays, cups and other
utensils hurled around during
one of the melees.
Warden Clinton Duffy said the
riots were "outbreaks of hood
lumism" not protests against
the food. He said they were not
planned in advance.
Duffy returned from vacation
to personally supervise the mess
hall last night. He ordered ex
tra guards to duty today.
The first outbreak, Duffy said,
came Friday when Irving Cor
nell, 27-year-old convicted Los
Angeles sex offender, attacked
an inmate mess hall attendant.
Guards broke up the fight. More
than 240 men surged toward the
guards. The guards quieted
them down by firing shots over
their heads.
A few minutes later the sec
ond riot broke out. It w a s then
the utensils were thrown. Guards
finally quelled this. The third
riot came at the Saturday eve
ning meal. As soon as the men
sat down they began booing and
hooting. Again it took rifle
shots in the air to restore order.
U. S. Pushes World Plan

Commie Strength in Europe
Drops 11 Percent in Past Year
By JAMES E. ROPER
Washington, Aug. 21 (U.R) Communists are losing strength
in western Europe.
Party membership in Atlantic pact nations in Europe has
dropped nearly 12 per cent during the last year, authoritative
sources reported today.
Scattered reports from other
Atlantic Pact countries in Eur
ope now totals 2,275,400. This
compared with 2,577,600 a year
ago. That represents a drop of
11.7 percent.
The best information availa
ble here indicates that commu
nist party membership in the 10
European states also are encour
aging to the democracies. The
Reds, for instance, are reported
losing ground in Sweden, Spain,
Switzerland, western Austria
and western Germany.
Of the Pact countries In Eur
ope, only Great Britain has failed
to reduce its number of commu
nists, according to tabulations
made here.
Estimated communist party
membership in European coun
tries that joined the Atlantic
pact:

Should UNESCO approve
and chances look good it
would be two or three months
before the campaign could get
down to the grass roots to
the brown, black, yellow and
white peoples of the world
into such far reaches as Af
ghanistan and French Equa
torial Africa.
The means are not only at
hand, but they have been chart
ed. UNESCO has listed the news
papers, privately earned radio
sets and seating capacity of mo
tion picture theaters in the
world. All could be used.

The U. S. will ask UNESCO
to approve the following moves
1. To put out a strong state
ment supporting the U. N. ar
mies now fighting in Korea.
2. To concentrate UNESCO's
staff on the program.
3. To begin planning for re
lief of Korea once the commu
nist armies have been driven
out.
Supporting the belief that the
U. S. request for this campaign
will be accepted by UNESCO is
the fact that of the 59 nations
in the U. N., 53 have already
voted approval of armed action
against the North Korean com
munists.
But the job of telling the
world about the U. N. campaign
will be spotty. Here are some of
the weak and strong points in
the free-nation communications
line around the world as UNSCO
found them in May:
The world's people 2,351,
113,000 of them have 218,764,
700 daily newspapers distribut
ed, 160,686,211 radio sets, and
motion picture theaters with 44,
375,000 seats.
Curiously, for Americans, six
nations have more daily news
papers per 1,000 people than the
United States. They are Den
mark, Australia, New Zealand,
Norway, Sweden, and the Unit
ed Kingdom. The Russians have
fewer than half the daily news
papers that Americans do.
Americans have far more ra
dio sets than any other nation.
Sweden, Norway and Bermuda
come closest.
The lowest percentage of own
ership is in the British African
colony of Tanganyika and in
French West Africa, where only
two people in every 10,000 own
a radio set. In the United States
566 in every 1,000 own a set,
in the Soviet Union only 40.
0 0
The report on motion pic
ture theaters around the world
will probably come as the
greatest jolt to Americans.
Even though the U. S. pro
duces by far the greatest num
ber of feature films a year, eight
other nations have more thea
ter seating per 1,000 population
Israel, Belgium, Iceland, Mon
aco, Australia, New Zealand,
Sweden and the United King
UNESCO reports the smallest
number in French Equatorial
Africa and Nigeria, another Brit
ish African colony only five
seats for every 10,000 eople. In
the U. S. there are 83 seats per
1,000.
