By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent Monaco (U.R) A New York detective invited by Prince Rai nier to attend his wedding was put to work today with four French inspectors in an attempt to stop the jewel thefts that have plagued guests of the prince's marriage to actress Grace Kelly. The detective, Frank Cressi, acted as the prince's bodyguard on his recent New York visit. Rainier developed such an ad miration for the combined linguist-detective who had guard ed other visiting royalty he in vited him to the wedding. The latest report was the theft of about $6,000 worth of jewels from Mrs. Maree Pamp, wealthy Philadelphia socialite and one of Miss Kelly's bridesmaids. The jewels were removed from a black zippered bag in her room at the swank Hotel de Paris. They were originally estimated worth $10,000 to S20.000. Rumors Are Flying It was the second theft report ed by police, but rumors swept the principality that several other guests had been robbed. Police refused even to discuss the known thefts, let alone dis cuss the rumored ones. The first theft was that of $45,000 in jewels from the suite of Matthew McCloskey, publish er of the Philadelphia News and treasurer of the Democratic Na tional committee. Monegasque police said at first they knew nothing of that robbery. Mrs. Pamp said she left the zipper bag of jewelry in one of her dresser drawers when she left for church Monday to take part in the rehearsal for. the wedding. She returned to her room late in the afternoon and discovered it was missing. The jewelry was insured. It included a set of pearl earrings, a diamond bracelet, a necklace of cultured pearls, two gold bracelets and a watch. Doesn't Tell Grace "I don't know what I'll do," she sighed. However she did not tell Miss Kelly about the theft when she attended a bridesmaids' party Monday night at the palace since she said she did not want to dampen the wedding spirits, al ready upset by the McCloskey theft. . Police redoubled their guards at the Hotel de Paris which has been reserved for the guests, most of them wealthy. The prince called in Cressi and four inspectors of the Nationale, the French federal police. ON THIS "FACTORY SPECIAL" Minus your trade-In Tuesday.

Notice to Septic Tank Owners There's nothing more embar rassing than a septic tank that ' doesn't work! Usually there are two reasons why they stop-up and overflow (1) the tanks are not cleaned at proper intervals; (2) toilet tissue that does not readily disintegrate may clog the drains and force them to back upl Not all toilet tissues are made with the septic tank problem in mind. The one that is MD Toilet Tissue is scientifically processed so that it absorbs water completely and quickly. Best advice: Consult your County Health Department, your plumber, or a septic tank service company, for advice on cleaning your tank. Use MD Toilet Tissue! - FesBval oP
