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.
WAIT PAYS - -
Providence, R. I. (U.R)
Gordon T. Olson of Pawtuket,
R. I., waited in district court
four hours to pay a speeding
ticket, but his wait was not in
vain. The judge discontinued
the case when he found out
how long Olson had been waiting-

Farmer Cuts Off Arm
Caught in Machine
Chattanooga, Tenn. flJ.R) A
60-year-old farmer told today
how he amputated his own hand
with a dull pocket knife when
it was crushed in a corn picking
machine.
J. E. Graham said that he was
working in a cornfield with a
neighbor at the time of the acci
dent. He said he asked the
neighbor to cut the hand loose,
but the man "got sick."
"I had to go ahead and cut to
save my own life," Graham said
Doctors here were forced to
amputate slightly higher on the
arm after he was rushed to the
hospital. Graham was in fair
condiiion.
