It will be the first British royal wedding since Queen Elizabeth (then Princess Eliza beth) and Prince Philip were married in 1947. It will be the first marriage between a member of the royal family and a commoner since King Edward VIII gave up his throne for the woman he loved, Wallace Simpson, in 1936. ELIZABETH is a Windsor. So is her uncle, who upset the royal applecart by abdi cating to marry Wallace, who, by the way, is not only a Traditionally, the Windsors haven't been upsetters of the royal appiecari. yueen v ic- BAY Baildsrs S;?ly QUALITT BLOCKS Draia Tile Bricks.

Moscow Criticixes Bonn The criticism which explod ed in the British Parliament and among governments of other West European nations could have been anticipated as easily as was the reaction of Moscow Radio which im mediately hailed it as proof of West Germany's warlike intentions.

Vic toria would probably have had what is known colloquial ly as a conniption fit if any member of her family had gone off the deep end and espoused a commoner. BUT BRITISH royalty is no stranger to commoner mar riages. There was Henry VIII, for example. He was a Tudor, a royal line that preceded the Windsors. He was a practi tioner, in a big way, of mar riage with commoners. He didn't quite tie the record of our Tommy Manville, but of his six marriages at least three were with commoners. ' Of the eight Henry's com moner wives, Anne Boleyn is the best known. Henry's motto was "love 'em and leave "em," and Anne didn't last long. (He cut off her head to . get her out of the way.) But she lasted long enough to become the mother of Prin cess Elizabeth, who is known in history as "Good Queen Bess," perhaps the most fa mous ruler of English history. (She was the one for whom Sir Walter Raleigh spread his coat over the mudhole.) . MARGARET'S engagement to a commoner is making quite a splash, but her mar riage to him, if and when it occurs, will be no first time performance in British royal history.

There were charges that Chancellor Konrad Ade nauer's government had acted behind the backs of its allies and outside the NATO frame work. The the criticism reached a new peak when it was learned that Nazi Germany's chief munitions maker, Al fred Krupp, had been negoti ating on a steel mill project in Spain. Neither of the latter charges appeared valid. Norslad Realized Project Just as the fury was reach ing its peak, it was disclosed that NATO Commander U.S. Gen. Lauris Norstad had known of the project, and that other governments also had known about it. It further was disclosed that Krupp had dropped out of the Spanish negotiations and had reiterated the pledge: "I will not make arms." The West German govern ment itself felt it was being unduly attacked for an un dertaking to which it had been urged by NATO leaders. West Germany, hedged be tween the Baltic Sea and Communist East Germany has not the room for depots and training stations it needs. For more than a year it has been negotiating for establish ment of supply depots in France, Belgium, Holland and Denmark For NATO, the Germany negotiations in Spain raised the problem of whether in reality West Germany is to be a full-fledged partner or a second-class citizen. Practically, the German move was one dictated by geography. Diplomati c a 1 1 y and politically it was a mis take. At any rate, it appears now there will be no German bases in Spain, 4-H NEWS Central Point Swine The monthly meeting of the Central Point Swine club was held Feb. 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the Morris Frink home.

Dr. Eugene Galanter, asso ciate professor of psychology at the University of Pennsyl vania, told secondary school principals Monday that with in four years machine teach ing programs probably will exist in elementary, secondary and college subjects. Dr. Galanter said machines would make learning easier for both bright and not so bright students. "In principal," he said, "the machine operates like a magic book. The book is so arranged that the child is unable to turn the page until the book has satisfied itself that the child already knows what is on the page he has just fin ished reading." Cost Inexpensive He predicted that in grade schools teaching machines would be used on such sub jects as arithmetic, spelling and "certain segments of read ing." In high schools and col leges, programs are being de veloped for algebra, psychol ogy, logic and foreign lan guages, he said. Dr. Galanter said such ma chines could be built for "less than S50." he said about one machines would be needed for every three to five chil dren. Machines will have all the advantages of a private tutor, will allow coverage of more material, and free teachers of drudgery such as "the manip ulation of flash cards, grading of homework, and the inces sant repetition during recita tion," he said.
