(Maundy Rites In Abbey Attended By the Princess LONDON, April 13 (U.R) Clutching a nosegay to "ward off the plague," Princess Elizabeth attended the centuries-old ceremony cere-mony of the distribution of "maundy money" the king's Easter gift to the poor in Westminster West-minster Abbey, Thursday. The princess attended in place of King George, who is convalescing convalesc-ing after a recent operation to improve the circulation of his legs. She held a nosegay of daffodils, primroses and violets in keeping with ancient custom. In the old days a nosegay was regarded as the best way to ward off the plague and the odors of the poor. Elizabeth did not personally distribute the king's Easter gift. Only the king or the lord high almoner can do that. The custom of giving royal alms to the poor on the Thursday before be-fore Easter dates back to the 12th century. The ceremony stems from Christ's washing the feet of his disciples after the last supper. sup-per. "Maundy" comes from the Latin word mandatum (commandment) (com-mandment) referring to Christ's act. Until the reign of King James II the king always washed the feet of as many poor men as he was years old. In modern times the king still wears a towel draped around his waist as a sign of the old custom when he distributes dis-tributes the maundy money to the poor in lieu of washing their feet. her 18 pieces of luggage through customs. She said she would like hominy grits for breakfast, but would settle set-tle for waffles. The trip, part of the prize she won in the contest among girls from cotton producing states, was "terrific,", she said. "I would like to go back sometime," she said. She noticed reporters were taking down her statements verbatim and added, "please change that to 'I'd like to return.' Mother has been writing me letters to watch my grammar: She sent me clippings while I was away underlining sentences that I had loused up please make that 'slaughtered'." Meets Nobility Miss Howell said she had tea with the "charming" Earl of Warwick in Warwick castle, and last Saturday lunched at the Sa voy in London with Gertrude Lawrence, the actress. She was guest of honor at cock tail party given by Sharman Douglas, daughter of the American Ameri-can ambassador to Britain, and met a number of titled young Englishmen, including Lord David Da-vid Westmoreland, one of Princess Prin-cess Margaret's beaus. "I expected them to be reserved, reserv-ed, but they are not," she said. "They are so friendly. "And I sat behind the Duchess of Windsor at the international jumping at the Palais De Sports. I was very favorably impressed. She's so refined. "I met Rita Hayworth and Aly Khan, but it was very casual. Their box at the races was next to ours. We chatted for a moment. Rita is very beautiful. She posed for photographers, displaying a green cotton cock tail dress with scattered green sequins created by Pierre Bal-main Bal-main from American fabrits. "Isn't it yummy?" she asked. She will remain in New York until Sunday, then go to Philadelphia Phila-delphia to begin a tour of American Ameri-can cities to display her cotton wardrobe. She will attend a Memphis exhibition May 8 to 15.

Cain gave the committee a copy of a letter from budget director Frank Pace which rescinded the fish-ladder restriction.
