(International Soundphoto) Speculation Continues In Princess-Townsend Romance in Britain London (U.R) Duty called Princess Margaret agafti today. And for the second day, Group Capt. Peter Townsend went horseback riding at Epsom. They had not seen each other since Tuesday night. But there was enough under surface activity to keep romantic Britons speculating about the progress of their courtship. Attorney General Called Prime Minister Anthony Eden called his attorney general from a courtroom ' appearance, appar ently to give urgent advice to the Cabinet. It immediately was speculated that the advice might have to do with legal steps nec essary if Margaret does decide she will override opposition from church and family and marry Townsend. The Rev. C. O. Rhodes, editor of the ghurch of England news paper, wrote in a dispatch for the United Press that the church itself is divided on whether , a divorced person, such as Town send, might remarry. Clergy Divided He said a recent opinion poll showed that nearly half the clergy disapprove of the convo cation which says "the church should not allow the use of the marriage service in the case of anyone who has a partner still living." "They would marry in church persons who have been through the divorce courts if the circum stances warranted this." Presumably Townsend, who was the innocent partner in his divorce, would fit these "circumstances." SUICIDE BLAMED Carmarillo, Calif.

Repaired With Tape Police said they were investi gating reports that a damaged airline repaired with friction tape caused the brakes on My ers' tractor-trailer, loaded with sheet aluminum to fail as he de cended Bib Savage mountain on U.S. Route 40 near Frostburg, five miles west of here. Myers said he "prayed to God . . . that someone would think to call state police and have them try to get the road cleared" as the rig roared down a long grade through Frostburg's main street at 90 miles arr-hour. He Ashland Curfew Bill Gives Earlier Deadline Ashland A curfew amend ment, passed Tuesday night by Ashland city council, set 10:30 p.m., rather than midnight as the time youngsters under 18 must be off the streets.

' said he battled for. control of the runaway but when a tire blew the truck smashed into the rear of an automobile carrying four persons and then careened into a dump truck. Driver Decapitated The driver of the dump truck, Samuel A. Brenneman, 29, of Springs, Pa., was decapitated in the collision, apparently by a sheet aluminum from the truck load.
