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

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

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."
