la The- Day s lews By FRANK JKNKINS The news today? Here's a sample: Cheered by half a million Brit ons and acclaimed by a glittering array of royalty. Princess Alexan dria, Queen Elizabeth's favorite cousin, is married in Westmin ster Abbey to the son of a titled Scottish family. More than 120 members of British and European royal houses turned out for the occasion. Incidents? Well, in the crush that followed the ceremony Queen Elizabeth stepped on the toe of King Olaf of Norway. Slie begged his par don, and he said: "Oh, no; it was my fault." People, you see, are people crowns or no crowns. Even a king can have his toe stopped on. Yesterday Queen Elizabeth took the wedding party out PUBBING in the Berkshire countryside. Fifty-one guests, along with the queen and Prince Philip, piled into two buses and wound their way from Windsor castle which last night was the scene of the "Ball of the Century" to a 500 year old pub in the small town of Bray. Twenty-eight of the pub bet's were members of foreign royal, or former royal, families. After cocktails, they had fresh lobster, roast lamb, treacle tart and fresh cream with cheese and coffee to finish off the pub lunch. At the queen's request, forget-me-nots were on the tables and the waitresses wore red roses pinned to their dresses for St. George's day. The queen was given a bouquet of roses, and was later seen min istering to a pricked thumb in the bus. King Olaf of Norway of fered to help her squeeze out the offending thorn, but the queen, all the time smiling, managed -done. Again, you see, queens are PEOPLE. They bleed when scotched by a rose thorn. But- . The world IS changing, In London yesterday, the Daily Mail, Britain's largest newspaper, published a stinging attack on "royal deadbeats" in London to attend the ceremony. Hitting at members of Europe's former roy-l al families, the Mail asked in a two-column editorial: "What's Go ing On?" The editorial asked whether the wedding was a marriage "be tween popular young people or a ' publicity campaign for Europe's busted down, pensioned-off, for gotten but not buried ex-royals." It added: "Is this the welfare state or the royal welfare morgue?" Well Times ARE changing. A few centuries ago, a state ment like that would have been lese majeste, and the editors of the Mail would have been hus tled off to jail. This thought in conclusion: Do you reckon that all over the world even in our own country government just might be get ting too much wound up in fluff and feathers and fooferaw? All this magnificence costs a LOT of money all of which comes out of the taxpayers' pockets. And- A whale of a lot of it is being PUT ON THE CUFF for future generations to pay. What's going to happen to these future generations? King Fights For Order AOMAN. Jordan (UPD - King Hussein struggled to maintain or der today in tlie face of repeated demonstrations by hundreds of pro-Nasser students defying heavi ly armed government troops. Bedouin soldiers loyal to the 27-year-old monaich fired on demon strators in the heart of the cap ital Tuesday, killing 12 and wound ing 60, according to diplomatic sources. Hussein, vowing he will never relinquish his throne, drove through the heart of Amman in a white convertible Tuesday eve ning and waved at rioters throw ing rocks at troops guarding the American Embassy. Tiit- rioters, apparently stunned at tlie sight, slopped throwing rocks. As tlx; king drove on through the streets, he was greeted by cheering crowds. His action and a heavy rain brought a halt to the demonstrations favoring on end to Hussein's regime and unity with the new United Arab Repub lic lU.A.R.i led by Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser. Hussein pledged he would never abandon his desert kingdom, stra tegically located between Israel, Syria. Iraq and Saudi Arabia. He scoMcd at reports from Cairo Radio that he was preparing to flee Jordan. He insisted that he was "ready to make any sacrifice if I im obstructing the unity of the country."

Although the White House de clined to disclose details on the meeting, the Kremlin's lough stand sparked fears of new tur moil in Southeast Asia. Russia re jected the idea of a peace appeal unless it condemned the United States. Administration officials snecu-l lated that Soviet Premier Nikita Bids Opened On Collier Perk Work The Klamath Plumbing and Heating Company of Klamath Falls has submitted, the lowest bid, $116,162, for construction of overnight camping .facilities at Collier Park. Bids were opened Tuesday aft ernoon by the -Oregon Stale Highway Department and will be let on Thursday. Initially, bids were asked on the Collier, project on March 12, but the lowest bid was in excess of $200,000 and did not prove ac- ceptable to the department, Several items were trimmed from the project, and indications were that the Tuesday low bid would probably prove acceptable. The project calls for construc tion of 50 trailer camp sites with provisions for water, sanitary dis posal and electricity; 18 tent camp site providing water and waste water disposal. Also, it calls Tor construction of a utility buiMing with sanitaryv- bathing and laundry facilities, and a rest station with heafed water and electricity. Water for the project will be secured by pumping from Spring Creek. It is expected that the facili ties will be completed by early summer in time for use during he biggest tourist influx. In all, Tuesday, bids w ere opened on 24 projects totaling about $22.8 million. Largest item was the bid for the steel super structure of the Astoria bridge. U.S. Steel Corporation of Port land submitted the lowest bid of $10,121,852 on this project.

In London, U.S. sources said Undersecretary of State Averell Harriman might fly to Moscow in the next 48 hours to urge Khrush chev to join this country's efforts to keep the uneasy peace in Laos. ..There had been strong hints from the White House earlier that such a peace mission was under consideration to remind the Soviet premier of his promise to Ken nedy to maintain a neutral, in dependent Laos. The London re ports said no final decision had been reached, however. Some officials here thought it possible the Soviet-Sino bloc had decided to sabotage the 1961 Geneva agreements guaranteeing Laotian independence under a co alition government. This could confront Kennedy with an ag nozing choice between U.S. mili tary intervention or watching the Communists take over the king dom. The State Department Tuesday night angrily rejected Soviet charges that the United States was to blame for the latest out break of fighting in Laos, during which pro-Communist Pathet Lao forces took most of the strategic Plain of Jars area. A State Department spokesman said Russian allegations that the United States, in violation of the 14-nation Geneva accords, was sending arms and ammunition to government forces were "patent ly false. Nixon Talk Draws Fire PHOENIX IUPI) '. Gov. Ed mund G. Brown of California Tuesday attacked Richard M Nixon for a speech in which the former vice president suggested the United States unleash the Cu ban exiles. Brown, a Democrat who won his second four-year term by de feating Nixon last November, told newsmen at the Western Gover nors' Conference "I thought that speech was a disgrace. It was a masterpiece of double talk." Nixon, speaking to the Ameri can Society of Newspaper Editors Saturday, charged President Ken nedy "with pulling defeat out of victory" and called for backing the exiles. Nixon said in Los Angeles Tues day that comment on the speech was overwhelmingly in his favor and blamed bad advice from the Defense Department for adminis tration actions on the Cuban situ ation. But Brown, who spoke to news men shortly after he arrived at tlie conference in nearby Scotts dale. charged angrily: "It's not worthy of a man of his stature." Brown called Nixon's address "the kind of double talk that re sulted in his defeat as govenoor" of California.

The princess, the queen's favor ite cousin, held true to her rcpu tation for tardiness and arrived two minutes late for the ceremony More than 120 members of Brit ish and European royal houses turned out for the occasion a grander showing than for Eliza beth's wedding when she was still a princess in the post-war austeri ty days of 1047.. . Standing before Ihe Archbishop of Canterbury, Princess Alexandra promised to obey Ogilvy her "man of destiny. A crowd estimated by police al more than 500,000 cheered as the tall princess drove to Westminster Power Priority Bill Gets Nod WASHINGTON (UPD-The Sen ate Tuesday passed a bill to give the Pacific Northwest first call on federal power produced in the area. The bill, introduced by Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D-Wash., was passed by voice vote after only perfunctory debate. Jackson's bill would assure in dustry in the Pacific Northwest priority to firm power from the Bonneville Power Administration system. Under present law, any public agency in California would have preference to federal power over private industry.

Demasi, confessed "bagman" for Mitchell, was arrested lor his confession that he had taken the $20,000, though he was acquitted along Willi the city manager on the bribery and conspiracy charges.

A Jong veil of lace toped by a diamond tiara covered her hair. After a reception for 500 at St. James' Palace the bride changed into a flamingo pink littcd suit with matching coat.

Television cameras discreetly moved away from the altar as the archbishop, Dr. Michael Ram sey, began the ceremony at 12:14 p.m. (0:14 a.m. EST) The princess voice was barely audible in the hushed abbey as she repeated after the archbishop: I Alexandra take thee Angus to my wedded husband, to have and lo hold from this day for ward, for belter for worse, for richer for Kiorer, in sickness and in health, to love, cherish and to obey, till death us do part, accord ing lo God's holy ordinance and therein I give thee my troth" Book Rental Plan Rapped SALEM lUPH - A bill to let school districts rent textbooks to parochial high s c h o o Is was at tacked hero Tuesday bv two churches, a lodge, the Oregon School Boards Association and the Civil Liberties Union. The Senate Education Committee is hearing the bill. The measure grew out of a Slate Supreme Court ruling last year that the state's lonfj prac tice of giving textbooks to pa rochial schools was unconstitution al. Two Portland attorneys, both involved in the case, favored the bill. Leo Smith, representing t h c Catholic Archdiocese of Portland and Oregon, said the bill only ex tended the "common privilege of any citizen lo rent books. Judah Dicrman of the ACLU replied the Supreme Court pro hibition against giving books would apply to renting them tu parochial high school students. He said the court decision "made fully clear that even though the books were placed in the pupils hands they benefit the religious institution."

SALEM (UPD-The Ways and Means Education subcommittee took a formal step Tuesday to ward reducing the number of new college dormitories proposed by the governor while increasing the instructional building program. The subcommittee voted to shift libraries and athletic buildings in to the self - liquidating program, financed with bonds, where dor mitories and student centers are now. It voted to put a $:i() million ceiling on the whole 1963-63 self- liquidating program. In addition, the subcommittee has been talking in terms of a general fund appropriation of some $14 million for classrooms mil specialized facilities such as laboratories and science buildings The $30 million ceiling of t h c sell-liquidating part of the pro gram indicates the committee's final building program will total about $44 million, some $6 million less than the governor suggested. The big reduction, however, the committee indicated, will come in dormitories and student centers about $11 million. It would be partially offset by increases in bond money and general fund money fop instructional buildings. To pay for adding libraries and physical education buildings to the self-liquidating program, the sub committee adopted the "Mosser Plan" to earmark an additional jwrtion of student fees into the self-liquidating fund. Rep. John Mosser, R-Beavcrton said the theory is that libraries and athletic buildings benefit all students. He said the bonding ap proach would spread out the cost of buildings needed to meet a "short term enrollment bulge" at a lime when the general fund is pinched.

It aiso raised tuition for resi dent students by $30 a year at all statc-supiiortcd schools and non resident tuition al other campus-i es by $00 a year. The increases go into effect with the 1963-64 school year. Chancellor Roy Licuallen said the decision resulted from neces sity to face up to the legislature's difficulty in raising money. Last! January the board had ordered a $60 per year increase for out-of-stuto students al the three large schools. The board raised the tuitiorv at Oregon Technical Institute in Klamath Falls from $480 to $690 per year for out-of-state students, with likelihood of a $900 tuition there in 1964-65. OTI, as well as Oregon, Oregon Stale and Portland Stale, will have a $330 tuition for resident students starting next fall instead out of the present $300. Dr. James Jensen, president of Oregon Slate, called the non-resident tuition boost "inordinately excessive," particularly for stu- - 1 ' garden and flower arrangement books and art books.
