Corporal Punishment Still Carried Out In British Schools; Some Suits Filed London (U.PJ They've been debating for generations whether you poil a child if you spare h rnd. and in England the Ques tion seems no closer to being an swered than anywhere else. Although in this country, un like in America, corporal punisn ment is carried on in some of the schools. Parents Fil. Lawsuits Waif a dozen lawsuits have been filed recently by parents who object to having their chil dren's hide tanned Dy me scnooi niaster. Judging from similar cases in the past, the schoolmas ter probably will be upheld if there was no flagrant abuse of the spanking privilege. . Canes are used in many Eng lish schools to convince an un ruly boy that the teacher is boss. In Scotland the instrument is . more likely to be a "tawse," a Vinri nf strati.

The more exclusive and expensive a - school, the more painful the punishment seems to be. British Lord Chief Justice, Lord Goddard, has recommended that juries be permitted to de cide a case in court by a simple "majority vote" instead of by a unanmous decision. ; His sug gestion has touched off a lively discussion among editorial writ ers over such a significant change in Britain's revered sys tem of trial by jury. - At this point it appears the "noes" have it. Most newspapers and spokesmen for the legal pro fession are opposing - such a move. ' ,. " Lord Noel-Buxton has just given up his hobby of walking across rivers. He says there are no more rivers to cross. . The 6 foot, 3 inch peer be came fascinated some years ago by the idea that the Roman con querors in Britain must have known of places to cross rivers on foot or they would have built more bridges than they did.' He set about to prove his theory. With an audience of thous ands Lord Noel-Buxton tried to walk across the Thames near the Houses of Parliament. " He made it, although he had to swim a few yards here and there. Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United Press Correspondent Editor's aotc: The stcotid In a se ries on what has made Grace Kelly a movie star. '' mi x PS,' Hollywood (U.R) Grace Kel ly hadn't been, a star long in Hollywood before the gossip columnists be gan to link her with her leading men, but her friends say she is too career- minded to think of marriage now. According to keyhole scribes, the Aline Mosby r a y JVIillands separated over her; Bing Crosby and Clark Gable have been her dates. , ; - . Twenty-five-year-old Gracie has - passed up the Hollywood swains to choose happier, witty New York dress designer Oleg Cassini as her steady escort. The usually evasive Grace does say of Cassini, "I like him better than any man I know, but there is nothing serious now." They toured part of Europe together and last summer he met her fam ily, at their summer home at Ocean City, N.J. Most of ... Grace's dates have been older men, attracted by her amazing composure . and ma turity.' , .: Hollywood Impzesstd Those qualities in Grace im pressed Hollywood where movie-makers are used to des perately unhappy actresses who came up the hard way and grub for a living. Grace is a. type for eign to show business born to wealth, schooled for social posi tion and disciplined to be self reliant. . . ' Grace's father, John Kelly, was an Irish bricklayer whorose to become president, of the largest brick-masonry" firm . in the U.S. Her German, mother was a cover girl herself. Grace has a mar ried sister, Peggy; " a , brother, John J., : a champion . oarsman twice winner of the English Dia mond Sculls, and a younger sis ter, Liz, already offered movie rolls. At 10, Grace, a mimic at home, decided to go on the stage. At 11 she appeared in a school play and ' grandly helped her stage mother remember her lines. After flunking a college entrance exam, ' Grace entered the American Academy of Dra matic Arts in New York. Worked as Model To support herself (she wished to be independent) she worked as a model. She was a cover girl and often appeared in fashion newsreels. She eventually began to land TV acting roles and read unsuccessfully for 30 stage parts At last she snared a Broadway show that won her a movie role in "Fourteen Hours." ' Later she was brought to Hollywood for "High Noon" but Grace realized she had much to learn. The actress, then heavier and - wooden, casually turned down an MGM contract and re turned to New York for more TV and radio work. After 70 TV roles she felt she was ready for big films and accepted "Mog- ambo. "The main reason I took.'lt," she once casually remarked, "was because it was to be made in Africa and I wanted to go there." .... Signed MGM Contract She' then leasurely signed an MGM contract. Directors, in trigued by her poise and self confidence, flocked to sign her for "Dial M For Murder," "Rear Window," "The Bridges of Toko Ri," "Green Fire" and "Country Girl." Offstage Grace strikes some persons as being aloof. She looks upon interviewers often with the amused tolerance of a deb at a cocktail party. But her friends say she is not high-hat.' "She is a bit shy," one said recently, "Also, she just wants to act and she doesn't see why she should have to talk about herself."
