Women's r Princess Margaret Said ( Woman of Many Contrasts (Editor's note-. Robert Mu- eel, one of UPI's top-flight Eu J ropean by-liners, has covered J Princess Margaret's activities since her early teens. In the following dispatch he outlines what sort of woman she is. j This is the first in a series of three on the princess.) By ROBERT MUSEL United Press International London-(UPD-What sort of a woman is Princess Margaret, who could have married a prince but chose a photog rapher? She can be arrogant -and generous. She finds it diffi cult to make friends, loses friends easily. But she can be loyal and steadfast to those she loves. . She has been the highest stepping member of the royal family since her Uncle David, King Edward VIII, was the Prince of Wales and king of night clubs. Yet she also is the most devout member of I 'Jones Boy' Installed In Palace . , London-fllPD - Princess Mar garet installed her fiance in Buckingham palace today and prepared to take him to the ballet tonight for the public debut of the Jones boy who r.-made good. . it' 'Margaret and Antony Arm it strong-Jones, a eommoner, J drove in from a long week nd at Windsor with the Queen Mother and went di S'Vetftly to Buckingham palace " where a suite of rooms was placed at his disposal. The princess presumably took him to the palace to in , troduce him to senior mem . bers of the royal household who would show him . his rooms. . -Armstrong-Jones and Mar garet have a date tonight at Covent Garden for the Royal 4 Ballet's charity performance -of "Princess Margaret's Fan . cy." Armstrong-Jones and : Ma garet have not been seen to gether in public since their engagement was announced last Thursday and now every body wants ta get look at the betrothed couple's first jaunt into public togetherness. The British Broadcasting corporation cancelled regular programs in order to televise the theater arrival of Mar garet and her Tony. . The Covent Garden boxof ficej was swamped with de mands for tickets to the-al-. ready sold out performance. - Armstrong-Jones drove his own small auto to join the princess at the royal lodge at Windsor, castle last Friday, just minutes before the en gagement was announced. To dajrhe left the lodge to enter a new world.- Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip have given him a sump tuous suite at Buckingham palace so that he'll be readily available to help plan . the royal wedding. - Armstrong Jones will give up his cellar level flat. He even . gets a valet as of today, and he apparently-needs one. " Ethel Wright, the cleaning woman at Armstrong-Jones old flat clucked that "Prin cess Margaret will have to persuade Tony to be tidier he used to let his place get into an awful mess." a smartly designed spring maternity . wardrobe casual- to dressy . . . ensembles, versatile separates to mix and match, at wonderful LaPointe's prices! im thi MiDFOftD News the royal family, with a deeD and genuine feeling for the ritual of the established church. She is pretty by any stand ards although her husband-to-be probably would agree her nose is too long for pho tography. She has spectacular blue eyes, white teeth, excel lent skin. She is only five feet tall and under 100 pounds, but movie star Jack Lemon who partied with her one night called her figure "sen sational." Recalls Romances Her romances have been a composition of legend, head lines and possibly a little heartbreak. Before she was 17 her name was linked with that of King Michael of Romania bhe dated him wearing a plunging neckline gown that prompted a woman onlooker to remark to a reporter, "If she was my daughter I'd spank her." But with all her gaiety and laughter and love of dancing and parties, it took the little princess a long time to find the man to take her to the altar. When she did, she remained in character as a woman of unpredictability but firm de cision. Announcement Shocks Soma Princess Margaret's firm ness in her betrothal to An tony Armstrong-Jones, who at 29 is just a few months her senior, was illustrated by its timing. The engagement an nouncement by Queen mother Elizabeth last Friday evening came while the royal family was in mourning for two loved relatives. Even royal intimates expressed shock that the announcement, had not been held a few days. The only explanation any one could fix upon was: "Mar garet wanted it that way." That "those closest to the princess are happy for her in her engagement cannot be doubted. It was feared that what had been laughed off five years age and whispered almost up to the present-that Margaret was destined for spinsterhood -might become true. Party to Honor .

The meet ing was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harlan P. Bos worth Jr., . 2425 East Mam street, with 35 members and guests attending. Dr.. Mayfield, who is super intendent of public schools for Medford, made his month long tour with a group of educators. He pointed out that because of the manner in which the trip was arranged, the men saw more of Russia and its people than would be possible under other circum stances. The average Russian does very little inter-state travel, Dr. Mayfield said, and the people do not know one an other. The language barrier is also considerable, since there are nine different lan guages and 66 dialects spoken in the Soviet Union. There are no service or fraternal organizations in the Soviet Union such as flour ish in the United States, the speaker said, and all meetings seem to relate to Communist party activities in some way. Great crowds attend most gatherings, and standing in line is common. Free speech, as known in this country, does not exist. Slogans, such as "Overtake America," are to be seen everywhere, he added. Morals High ur. Mayfield declared that the behavior of the Russians indicates a higher degree of morai conauct man in the United States. There is evi dence of honesty everywhere, he said, and added that steal ing is at a minimum. Luggage and other articles left unat tended for. hours or days is not bothered. 1 There is no "petting" in public, Dr. Mayfield said, and added that a woman alone would probably 'be safer in the USSR than in some Amer ican cities. This code of moral conduct in; some,' ways '' is substitute for religion,'' the speaker said. ' Dr. Mayfield said that churches in Russia are few, but crowded, with people for . services. The Rus sian urtnoaox cnurch no longer,, represents the Rus sians, he declared, and point ed out that a Communist must take an bath of atheism; The speaker said many edu cators in Russia are not satis fied with the school system. Eighty per cent of the chil dren are in government spon sored schools; all students put in some' time on work experience " each year. The government is willing to spend unlimited time and money on research, he stressed. It is estimated that about 18 per cent of the USSR's total income is spent on education, he said; in the United - States the figure is much lower.
