Margaret Rumored
About To Join
Catholic Church
LONDON, UP*—New speculation
broke around Princess Margaret
today with publication of a rumor
she intends to become a Roman
Catholic. A leading Roman Cath
olic layman denied the story and
confirmation was lacking from
church and state authorities.
If she did enter the Roman
church she would automatically
eliminate herself from line of
succession to the British throne.
British monarchs must by law be
Angelicans. The Princess now is
third in line after the Queen’s
two children, Prince Charles and
Princess Anne.
The New York Daily News said
the Duke of Norfolk, lay leader
of British Roman Cotholie Com
munity, discussed the princess’
future in an interview with Pope
Pius XII at the Vatican last week.
The Duke denied this report as
“sheer nonsense.” He also denied
other reports that he saw the
Pope (a) to seek annulment of
his marriage to the Duchess of
Norfolk or <b> to intercede on
behalf of a friend who wanted an
annulment.
A spokesman for Bernard Car
dinal Griffin, leader of Britain’s
Roman Catholics, said: “Any in
quiries must obviously be addres
sed to Clarence House.”
! And Clarence House, the resi
dence of the 25-year-old princess,
referred all callers back to Buck
ingham Palace. The palace is the
home of her sister Queen Eliza
beth II, “defender of the faith”
of the Church of England.
NEW TYPE OF CREDIT
MEXICO CITY, UP* — A man
claiming to be an army captain
walked into a local store and
bought a coat “for the wife of

leaving his pretty girl companion

would return with the money.
The guarantee was in jail to
day. The “captain” hadn’t come
back.

Bank of England .Raises
Its Interest Rate to 5V2%,
In Move To Stem Inflation
LONDON, UP — The Bank of
England Thursday, raised its in
terest rate for lending money to
its highest level in 24 years—
per cent—in a drastic nevv#move
to stem Britain’s rising inflation.
The increase—of 1 per cent—
will have worldwide repercus
sions since the Bank of England
is the keystone financial institu
tion of the sterling area. Other
British financial institutions us
ually follow the lead of the na
tionalized bank.
In the United States, the redis
count rate of the Federal Reserve
Banks — similar to the Bank of
England’s interest rate—is 2x/z per
cent, highest since the early
1930’s. It was raised by stages
last year from lVfe per cent.
Policeman Gets ''Plastered”
RICHMOND, Ky., UP —Deputy

he was being attacked by a pri
soner, but actually he was just
getting “plastered.”

on the head while conducting a
group of prisoners through the
courthouse, enroute to the jail.
He was hit by falling plaster
but escaped injury.
