Rainier Miffed
At British Royal
Family’s Decision
PARIS, LPi—A friend of Prince
Rainier III said today the British
royal family’s decision not to send
one of its members to the Rainier
Grace Kelly wedding has caused
his serene highness to lose some
of h^s serenity.
The friend said the young ruler
of Monaco went to school in Eng
land, and has considerable affec
tion for the country, its people
and ruling family.
The friend said the young ruler
of Monaco went to school in Eng
land, and has considerable affec
tion for the country, its people
and ruling family.
“While Queen Elizabeth II and
the Duke of Edinburgh may not
have been expected to attend the
ceremony,” said the friend, “there
are others who might have been
delegated.
“It was thought Princess Mar
garet or Princess Alexandra (the
Queen’s cousin) might have come.”
It has been reported in Lon
don Britain’s consul-general in
Monaco will represent the Queen
when Rainier and the American
film star wed on April 18.
“The reported excuse—that the
Queen has not met the Prince—
seems a weak excuse,” said Rai
nier’s friend. “His Highness feels
the crowned heads of Europe are
relatively few and that they
should, let us say, stick together.”

DUST STORMS HIT
SIX PRAIRIE STATES
Hy the Associated Press
March’s capricious climatic ca
pers carved a crazy-quilt weather
pattern across the country today.
Most every type of storm—snow,
dust, rain, sleet and wind—was
reported.
The most severe windstorm of
the year struck six western prairie
states yesterday, swirling clouds
of dust across an 800-mile path
from Cheyenne, Wyo., to Waco,
Texas.
Howling winds, with snow and
falling temperature, brought back
wintry weather from the northern
plains to the upper Mississippi
valley.
Rain and thunderstorms, with
gusty winds, swept across the
lower and middle Mississippi val
ley northeastward to the Ohio
valley. •
Freezing rain and sleet pelted
the western Great Lakes region.
The blustery March weather
missed most of the southland.
Temperatures were summer-like
in many areas and mostly fair
weather prevailed.

Malenkov Back
From Good Will
Tour of Britain
LONDON OP—Georgi Malenkov
returned to London today from a
tour of power plants in northern
England and Scotland, and waxed
enthusiastic about kids, scenery
and the joys of friendship.
The former Soviet Premier flew
back from Scotland in a chartered
Vickers Viscount turbo-prop air
liner. He waved to bystanders and
smilingly posed for photographers
at the airport.
“It’s been a wonderful trip,” he
said via an interpreter.
Malenkov, now Soviet minister
of power stations, officially is
here on a three-week tour of Brit
ish electrical and power plants.
Unofficially his main job has been
to make friends as a front-runner
for next month’s visit by Soviet
Premier Bulganin and Communist
Party Chief Khrushchev.
Throughout his junketing, like
a politician looking for votes, he
has patted children on the head,
talked to honeymooning couples,
strolled along sidewalks, and vis
ited the people in their homes.
“I do not believe that the ad
ults will be offended if I say that
I like particularly the children of
Britain,” Malenkov said on his
return. “It is for their happiness
that we live and work.”

Special Agejjts Probe Mystery of the
Poisoned Pop on President’s Train
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
W. Va., (£">—Declaring “I haven’t
drunk ‘pop’ in years,” President
Eisenhower joked yesterday about
the question of whether anyone
put “poisoned” ginger ale aboard
a private railroad car he later
used.
Even though the President took
the incident in a light vein, secret
service agents and railroad inves
tigators were pressing an inquiry
into the illness of three persons
who drank the ginger ale.
Secret Service Chief U. E.
Baughman said “it may take three
or four days to run this thing to
earth.”
Eisenhower’s reaction to the
matter was given to reporters by
Walter J. Tuohy, president of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad. He
had breakfast with Eisenhower,
and said the President laughed
about the episode. He quoted Eis
enhower as saying:
“They are making a great to-do
about this ginger ale business.”
The private car is normally
used by Tuohy.
Tuohy said he drinks no alco
holic beverages. Eisenhower takes
an occasional Scotch and soda.
The inquiry by secret service
agents and railroad detectives is
directed first of all to trying to
locate the empty ginger ale bot
tles. They were tossed from the
private car while it was enroute
from Huntington, W. Va., to
Washington last Thursday eve
ning.
Howard Skidmore, C & O pub
lie relations director, put out a
statement Monday night saying
three persons who drank ginger
ale aboard one of the railroad’s
private cars last Thursday eve
ning later became ill. Two were
hospitalized.
Baughman said he wanted to
emphasize that the soft drinks in
question were not aboard the car
when Eisenhower »rode it from
Washington to this resort for con
ferences with the leaders of Can
ada and Mbxico. Eisenhower got
on the train Sunday night and ar
rived here Monday morning.
“We don’t think there has been
any plot aimed at the President,’’
Baughman said. “But we do want
to find out all there is to know
about the situation.”
