April 6, 1958 Unusual Glass Harmonica To Be Played in Commemorating this year's 250th anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Franklin and the 200th anniversary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's birth, organist E. Power Biggs will play a Mo zart composition for the glass harmonica invented by Franklin, on the KYJC-CBS Radio broad cast of the New York Philharmonic-Symphony, Sunday, April 8 at 11:30-1:00 p.m . The Franklin musical har monica, invented nearly two centuries ago, is based on the old trick of touching the edge of a glass with a dampened finger to produce a musical note. Frank lin's instrument lined up glass bowls so that several notes could be played simultaneously by use of a horizontal spindle. Mozart, in the last year of his life, wrote a Quintet for glass harmonica, flute, oboe, violin and cello. Mr. Briggs will use a modern glass harmonica made by the Corning Glass company. The instrument consists of 37 indi vidually blown bowls, nested within each other' on a spindle. Padded keys touehing the mois tened edges of the revolving bowls produce tones that Frank lin termed "incomparably sweet beyond those of any other." The crystal bowls, spanning three octaves from F below mid dle C to F above high C, were Father of Grace For Other Men By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent Aboard the S.S. Constitution at SeaU.R) John B. Kelly, the father of The Bride, doubts whether many other men will find themselves in a spot like his but, if they do, he has a word of advice: "Stay out of the way and do exactly as you're told." Millionaire Kelly, a hand some, gregarious man with a keen sense of humor, is prac ticing what he preaches aboard this liner carrying his daughter and the wedding party to Monte Carlo. He spends much of his time off in a corner playing gin rummy with three other over shadowed men.

Has Advice in Same Spot himself for a few minutes to give some comments about the uproar over the marriage of his daughter, Grace, . to Monaco's Prince Rainier. "Well, as a matter of fact," he said, "I don't like weddings. I don't know exactly why, but I just don't like funerals or. wed dings. "And," he said, with a grin, "this is certainly no ordinary wedding." Mr. Kelly already has walked down the aisle with his two oth er daughters, Peggy and Liz Ann, and he said he had worked out a formula. "I just tell them, 'Look, I'll give you this kind of wedding,' and then I let them make all the plans from there. But I must ad mit I don't think anybody could be in training for a wedding like this one." Mr. Kelly likes' his son-in-law to be and believes the marriage will be a happy one. "There's one thing you can say about Grace," he said proud ly. "When she makes friends she keeps them. I've only given her one bit of fatherly advice on her future as a princess. I just tell her to be herself." He explained why the Kellys agreed so readily to have the wedding in Monaco, although a girl traditionally is married in her own home town Call Out Police "Her mother didn't know where to begin planning this wedding," he said. "When Liz Ann got married and Grace was a bridesmaid they had to call out the police to hold back the crowds. We found out then what it means to have a celebrity in the family. And as long as Grace was going to live in Mo naco we decided it would be all right to let them have the wed ding." The former bricklayer, who is head of the commission run ning Philadelphia's Fairmount park, 10 times the size of Mona co, joked that he was polishing up his continental manners but otherwise was keeping in the background. "Turn it all over to your wife," he said. "Stay out of the way as much as possible. Don't have anything to do with select ing the clothes and do exactly as you're told."

Coming Marriage of Grace Target of Ribbing by London Newspapers London (U.R) Old Europe finds it so hard to believe a royal marriage can be a genuine love affair that it is giving the wed ding of Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier a not-so-gentle ribbing. Or maybe that's not the rea son. After all, the British like to think of the union of their Eliza beth and Philip as true love.

Wouldn't Attend "What wedding gift would you give Miss Kelly if you were in vited to the ceremonv?" asked a Edgar Guest, Noted Poet, Has Mild Heart Attack Detroit (U.R) Edgar A. Guest, internationally known poet of the Detroit Free Press, was recovering from a mild heart attack today at Grace Northwestern hospital. Guest complained about short ness of breath last night and a fire department rescue squad administered oxygen for a half hour before he was taken to the hospital. Ike's Nurse Thinks Patient Looks Fine Washington (U.R) President Eisenhower's nurse while he was recovering from his heart attack thinks her former patient looks "very fine." Lt. Col. Edyth P.

CHOICE OF 4 BRIGHT UNHEARD-OF LOW PRICE! - APPLIANCE' STORE Kelly, Prince.Beginner-Simple! quizmaster on a London radio show. Three of the panelists said they wouldn't bother to go. The fourth scolded Grace and Rain ier for all the ballyhoo. The fifth said acidly! "Would it be impolite to sug gest a cradle?" The theme that Monaco1 is less interested in the bride than the heir the bride must produce to keep it a tax-free monarchy is frequently mentioned. But even in Britain the first duty of any ruler, male or female, is to insure succession to the throne. The London Sunday newspap er, The People, complained that although the British people "don't care a hoot" about the romance, the BBC is going to give it six hours of television time. "Measured by the fuss that is being made, it might be that Eisenhower's son is marrying Malenkov's daughter," the Peo ple said, adding that newspapers should take a lead from the queen who "politely declined to ask one of the royal family to attend the wedding." j No Cause To Complain "That has upset Prince Rain ier," it said. "Still, he has no cause to complain. He is certain of millions worth of free public ity for Monaco that should bring visitors flocking to restore the dwindling finances of his comic opera kingdom' London's Socialist Daily Her ald printed an article implying that the council of Monaco wouldn't let Rainier marry love ly French actress Gisele Pascal because her father was a veg etable merchant in Cannes, a few miles away. But, it added, although Miss Kelly's father started life as a bricklayer, "that was forgotten when his wealth was remembered." One fact helping the critics along is the inability if that is the word of Europe's crowned heads to attend this marriage. Taking their cue from these leaders, any- number of notables will not be among those in the principality for the ceremonies. 1 Miss Truman's Fiance Selects Best Man New York (U.R) Clifton Daniel, who will marry Margaret i Truman April 21, yesterday named a boyhood friend and col lege classmate as his best man.
