British Paper Criticizes Royal Family;
Says Princess Should Wed Townsend
Clare Booth Luce Says
‘No’ to Performance of
‘The Blackboard Jungle’
VENICE, Italy, MV-The official
publication of the Venice Film
Festival said Saturday that “The
Blackboard Jungle” was with
drawn as a fX.S. entry at the re
quest of Ambassador Clare Booth
Luce.
Mrs. Luce, who is here as offi
cial representative of the United
States, could not be reached im
mediately for comment.
Under the headline “ ‘No’ For
Blackboard Jungle,” the Festival’s
newspaper said: “It is learned
that in consequence of the per
sonal intervention of Her Excel
lency, Clare Booth Luce, U. S.
ambassador to Italy, the U.S. film
. . . has been withdrawn.”
A member of the U. S. delegation
Friday told a reporter the change
was made because the film gave
“an unflattering and unrealistic
view of American school life.”
The action kicked up an im
mediate protest in Hollywood.
The movie portrays young hood
lums in revolt against high school
authority. The U.S. festival dele
gation said “interrupted melody”
would be substituted for it. The
U.S. is permitted three official
entries.

» LONDON, WV-The New States
man and Nation, a weekly maga
zine of opinion, said Saturday that
some members of the royal fam
ily and the Archbishop of Canter
bury are trying to talk Princess
Margaret out of marrying Royal
Air Force ' Group Captain Peter
Townsend.'
The journal, in a criticism of
royalty unusual in Britain, de
scribed their attitude as “a piece
of archaic humbug.”
The New Statesman is an inde
pendent magazine generally re
flecting the views of a segment of
the Labor Party standing some
what left of party’s center. It is
edited by one of Britain’s best
known editors, Kingsley Martin.
In a front-page editorial de
fending the popular press for re
porting and speculating on Mar
garet’s reported desire to renounce
her right of succession to the
throne and marry Townsend, a
divorced man, the magazine com
mented:
“There is no reason why she
should not marry as she will—
least of all since the young man
with whom she is in love is him
self beyond reproach.
“Yet, as every newspaper editor
knows, the most determined ef
forts have been made over the
last year to frustrate her purpose.
“The Archbishop of Canterbury
—busy as ever behind the scenes
—most of the older and stuffier
court officials and some of the
most authoritative family advice
have all combined in an attempt
to make Margaret abandon her
choice and to silence, as far as
possible, public comment and dis
cussion.
“Why? Because the young man
concerned has committed two of
fenses: He was bom a member of
the middle class and he divorced
a wife who had deserted him.
“This attitude by officialdom
makes nonsense of the claim that
the princess’ marriage is a private
matter. It also strikes the major
ity of the public as being a piece
of archaic humbug.”
