Kew Palace Renovations Show Domestic George III . Washington England's George III may have been a tyrant to his American colonies. But at home he was a devoted family man with 15 children to multiply his domestic joys and woes. Yankee sightseers ranging the London vicinity this summer find King George's old Kew Palace refurnished with many reminders of that other side to the stubborn monarch who pro voked and lost the American Revolution. The mansion has been a mus eumince 1898. An impressive Jacobean red-brick pile, it stands beside the Thames amid the green and flowering wonderland of Kew' Gardens. Its new ex hibits, mostly loaned by the pres ent Queen, include a variety of personal mementoes and por traits of the 18-century royal family. Silver and Ivory Toys One attention catcher is a fancy rattle that belonged to little Prince George, destined to oppose and ridicule his father cn his way to the throne as George IV. e Another is a quaint set of Ivory toys that once helped the royal children to study their alphabet. H, for instance, is backed by a drawing of Harle quin; T shows a small bird call the twite; X is for Xerxes, but the Persian King dressed like an English commoner of the time. r Palace furnishing and decora tions date from 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. There are fram ed silks from India, samples of old English needlework, a col lection of Queen Charlotte's poems. Several portraits show princesses or princes of the House of Hanover wielding a rake is quite in keeping with this family's part in developing few's world-famous gardens. In 759 Princess Augusta, widowed mother of George 111, startec the area's first scientific botan ical project on her estate as Kew Palace or Dutch House as it was then known because of earlier ownership by Dutch merchants. George Carries On After Augusta's death in 1772, George III took over both house and gardens. Combing his moth er's "nine-acre Eden" with ad joining grounds of Richmond Lodge, he laid the foundations in landscaping and plant collec tions for the nation's future botanical laboratory and show place. An outstanding beauty spot, now Rhododendron Dell, was excavated in 1778 by one of George's landscape architects engagingly named Capability Jones. Dutch House became a sort of outlying royal nursery for the overflow of children from the parental estate across the way. Later the whole family moved in. The King retired there during several of his attacks of insanity. Three of the princes were married at the Kew house in 1818 and there, near the end of that year, Queen Charlotte died.' But the Gardens continued to thrive, first under private direc tion and after 1841 as a national institution. With its windinp paths, placid greens and formal flower-beds, Kew has been call ed the "last rose of the Georgian summer."

Judges Who Approve Jury Eavesrdopping Target of Senators Washington (U.R) Two irate i senators pressed today toward I impeachment of federal judges! who authorized jury eaves dropping. Chairman James O. Eastland (D-Miss.) and Sen. William E. Jenner (R-Ind.) hinted at im peachment proceedings when they said they would urge the Senate internal security subcom mittee to send the transcript of 'its two-day hearings on jury tapping to the House Judiciary Committee. , Under the Constitution, the House institutes impeachment proceedings against judges. If the House votes for impeachment, the case is tried by the Senate, sitting as a court. Impeachment Hinted Rep. Emanuel Celler (D-N. Y.) chairman of the House commit tee receiving the Senate sub committee transcript, said he would "not hesitate to recom mend impeachment proceedings if he decides the matter "rises to the importance of impeach ment." Eastland and Jenner also promised "severe punishment" for future invasions of a jury's secrecy by eavesdropping or re cording. They said they would introduce legislation to ban such activity next year. Witnesses testified at the in ternal security subcommittee hearing that Chief Judge Orrie Phillips of the 10th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals and District Judge Delmas Hill authorized a University of Chicago research team, studying the jury system under a Ford Foundation grant, to plant hidden microphones in a Wichita, Kan., jury room. The researchers recorded jury delib erations of six cases in May, 1954. Attorney Defended Action Paul R. K i t c h, prominent Wichita attorney who prompted the recording idea and said he "sold" the University of Chicago researchers on it, testified that two . and perhaps three,- other judges had also granted permis sion for use of the secret micro phones in their courts, though this was never done. He said their purpose was to lead to improvements in the jury sys tem, to combat unfavorable pub licity and loss of confidence in the jury system, and to find a better way of making sure that jurors understood a judge's instructions.
