BY ROBERT MUSEL United Press Correspondent London U There are times when Britain's Old Guard must , wish it had not opposed the title I of prince consort as premature I for the husband of Queen Eliza- j beth II. This would have given him : more to do with the office of ; the sovereign and less time for probing into other affairs. o . His present situation is cer tainly not completely satisfac tory to him. He cannot be in the room when his wife discusses of ficial business with one of her ministers. His chair is taken from i even recklessly, some think must not range. So, like the herculcs with club on his coat of arms, he has lash ed about in those areas in which he can operate. Talks of Science He astonished the British As sociation for the Advancement of Science in 1951 in a presidential address in which he urged sci entists not, to be timid. He re ferred to Kippin's silicon chem istry, Lanchester's vortex theory and the X-ray spectrums. He knew what he was talking about, too. Philip's zest for life is in the Mountbatten tradition. He drives automobiles fast, learned to fly a plane, a glider and a helicopter and one of his more recent crazes is water ski ing. In polo his falls from horses are becoming as famous as were those of the Duke of Windsor when he was Prince of Wales. There was inside palace op position to Philip's helicopter venture but he got his way, had the craft landed on the grounds of Buekingham Palace and made a point of coming low enough to wave to the crowds at the gate. Daring in the Air Last July he flew in a dual control glider and learned to handle it h i m self in half the usual 'lime. His instructor said that Philip immediately wanted to "beat up" the airfield that is, zoom down low over it.

Lebanese Airliner Quotes From the lews By UNITED PRESS Matoaka, W. Va. High school principal Ralph Bird, comment ing on Wednesday's quiet day at school although white students had mauled nine Negro students the day before: '"Some of the white kids were really taken care of at home. They'll think twice before they do anything like that again." Washington Gov. Frank Clement of Tennessee, on the out look for a solution to the impasse between President Eisenhower and Gov. Orval Faubus on the use of federal troops in Little Rock: "I refuse to be anything but optimistic." Washington Retiring Defense Secretary Charles Wilson, reminiscing on his sometimes turbulent 412 years in Washington: "I don't hate anybody. If I have any enemies it's of their choosing and not any fault of mine." Miami Beach Frank Brewster, Teamsters vice president, on charges by the AFL-CIO Ethical Practices committee that he mis used union funds: "Certain things came out in the Senate Rackets Committee that were new to me but I never had a chance to reply." Investment Officials Look for Broadening Of Stockholder Lists Crash Fatal To 28 Beirut. Lebanon ilfi A gold laden Lebanese airliner burst into flames shortly after takeoff from Beirut today and fell into the Mediterranean killing the 28 persons aboard. The plane, a twin-engine C46, was en route to the oil -rich Arab state of Kuwait on the Persian gulf. Four Britons were reported among the victims. Unofficial reports said the air liner was carrying 15 boxes of gold ingots to the British pro tectorate. Authorities refused to estimate the value of the ship ment. Airport sources said the plane's two engines failed one after the other and "exploded" and that the aircraft was blaz ing when it crashed into the Mediterranean. ed in a fast sports car in October 1947; collided with a taxi in Feb ruary 1948; collided with anoth er taxi in 1956 and last June he crashed into a small passenger car. No one was hurt. The driver of the other car rushed around to complain about his dented fender, caught a sight of the pas senger and driver the Queen was inside opened his mouth and said not a word. This last collision was some what embarrassing since it hap pened only a few hours after Philip had urged motoring or ganizations at a luncheon meet ing to become better drivers. Bystanders at the crash reported the duke called out: "All my f a u 1 1." He is covered by in surance. k His polo record is not much better, or perhaps it is worse. He is a three goal handicap man, the biggest box office draw in British polo. Once nearly 10,000 people crowded Windsor Great Park to see him play. Goal Post Collision Last July he twice collided with the papier mache goal posts and in one fall his horse nearly rolled on him. The Queen was watching this match and she leaped to her feet, fingersat her throat. On another occasion the Duke cut his chin and later he had to be treated by a physiotherapist for neck muscles strained in a fall. There were some sugges tions Philip ought to take it easy but the Sunday Pictorial came to his defense and den ounced the "dismal jimmys who are trying to wrap the duke in cotton wool." He is also an ardent yachts man and recently took Charles sailing on a small boat through rough seas. One of his greatest annoyances in this active life is the constant presence of reporters and photo graphers. While sailing with Charles at the Cowed Regatta, he shouted to photographers: "I won't come here next year if this is going on all the time. I might as well shut myself up at home." Next: Philip's role at home. Confidential Trial Jury Dismissed; New Trial Doubled Hollywood (IT) One of the most sensational courtroom dramas in movieland history the Confidential magazine crim inal libel trial was listed as a flop today after the jury failed to reach a verdict and was dis missed in the 13th day of de liberation. The trial came to a sudden end when the much - confused jurors revealed they were "hope lessly deadlocked" 7-5 for con viction. Superior Judge Herbert V. Walker declared a mistrial and set Oct. 10 for discussion of a possible new trial. Whether a new trial will take place remains a big question mark. The prosecution had vowed to "fight to the end" for a conviction but the defense main tained a new trial "will be a shameful waste of the taxpay ers' money." Ties Court Record The jury's dismissal climaxed more than six weeks of dragging the alleged private activities of top movie stars through the lime light and nearly two weeks of actual deliberation. The time spent deliberating tied a Los Angeles county record of 13 days for a criminal trial. The "quick ending came as a surprise even to Judge Walker. He had summoned jurors back to his courtroom to ask .them how they stood. Foreman Fred L. McCulley, a retired railroad man, informed the judge of the deadlock and advised him there was little hope that the panel could ever agree on a verdict. Individual defendants Fred and Marjorie Meade, the husband-wife operators of an al leged Hollywood listening post for Confidential, were in court when the jury was "thanked" and dismissed. Yugoslav Ship Tells Of Danger at Sea Hamburg, Germany (IP A Yugoslav ship reported today it was out of control' and being driven by a storm into a danger ous World War II minefield off the Danish coast in the North Sea. The Hamburg Shipping Radio Service said the radio operator of the ship, the 5,155-ton Du brovnik, corrected an earlier re port that the vessel had struck a mine. The Danish salvage tug Svitzer and the German tug Danzig headed for the area to search for the disabled ship.

WALZER United Press Financial Editor New York tin Investment compeny exec utives, meeting here for their annual conven tion, look for further broad ening of their s t o ckholder lists by leaps and bounds over the com ing years. Tlie group isn't pessimist ic on the mar- Elmer Wancr ket and it points out that owners of mu tual funds haven't been selling during the recent market de cline. "People don't sell mutual funds," say Walter L. Morgan, president of Wellington Fund, the nation's second largest bal anced fund with assets of some 600 million dollars. He says that the number of mutual fund holders has doubled every five years since 1940 and if future growth continues at this pace there will be more, than four million accounts by 1960 and 10 million by 1966. Wouldn't Interfere "BBased on the size of the average0 account today (S3, 600) gross invested assets of mutual funds could exceed of mutual funds cold exceed $15 bilion in 1966." Morgan says. Sh vast holdings, he says, would not interfere with the market's liquidity since they would be only a small percent age of the total listings. Currently 1,384,000 investors hold 2.294,000 shareholder ac counts valued at S9,102,000 which is about 4V-: per cent of 111 shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Morgan says that the future shareholders of mutual funds will be drawn from people who have in the past had most of their savings in "fixed dollars." represented by savings accounts, savings and loan shares, U. S. savings bonds, and life insurance. "Tomorrow's shareh olders must first be educated to the in come and profit possiblities of ' investing," Morgan says. "They must be made aware of j the need to protect themselves from inflation, which has sliced the buying power of the dollars ; they thought they were saving ! with safety in 1940 by more i than 50 per cent. "They must realize that past : history has shown that more i often than not there is greater : risk in fixed-dollar savings than in variable-dollar investments." Nothing that the Federal Re- serve in a recent survey found I only one family in 10 with in come of more than $3,000 thought common stocks were the best place to put surplus funds ; while six out of 10 favored fix ed dollar savings, Morgan said : this is just one example of the need for education of the public on the merits of investing. iti-U. S. Ties At Straining Point Port Au Prince, Haiti (IP! Official American charges that a U.S. citizen was beaten to death while in police custody have brought relations between Washington and Haiti's ruling military junta to a state of crisis. The American, Shibley Tala mas, was picked up Saturday night for violating the curfew while out seeking a doctor for his wife. She gave birth the next morning while Talamas was in prison. A three-man U.S. medical team examined the body of Talamas, and said the chubby, 30-year-old American was beaten to death despite statements by the Hait ian military government he had died of a "heart attack." U.S. Ambassador Gerald Drew filed a vigorous protest with Foreign Minister Col. Louis Roumain and demanded a full explanation of the incident. But I Gen. Antonio Kebreau, head of the ruling junta, refused to see him personally. BARGAIN GRADE 2x4-8' $12.50 Per M' CHENEY STUD MILL CENTRAL POINT .IS.
