Queen Duke Reported Im Riff AuorUtta rim Baltimore, Feb. 8 The Baltimore Sun says London's cafe society is "talking openly of a rift between Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh." A London dispatch by Sun correspondent Joan Graham reports: "The whisper started last summer. It was then hinted by the know-it-alls that the Duke of Edinburgh had more than a passing interest in an unnamed woman and was meeting her regularly in the private apartment of Baron, the court photographer who died of heart trouble at the age of 46 last fall." The dispatch said the gossip gained ground that the Queen's husband was "being got out of the country to cool off," when it was announced that he was to make a four-month round-the-world tour. The duke is now at Gibraltar on the last stages of his tour on the royal yacht Britannia. The Sun said it originally had been planned for him to return to London to spend a week with the Queen before she sets out for a state visit to Portugal, Feb.

18-21. But these plans were dropped unaccountably, and the Duke was whiling away the time at Gibraltar until Feb. 15, when be will sail to meet the Queen at Lisbon. The Queen evidently will spend a couple of days with him on board the Britannia before starting the state visit to Portugal. The paper added that those who believe there is a rift think the duke's tour was drawn out unnecessarily.

The Sun said the rumors that all is not well in the royal family had been going on for some months and "are now percolating down to the British masses who only know about the royal family what is printed in the British press." No hint of a rift has appeared, in British newspapers. The duke was on his tour at Christmas time. The Queen and her husband exchanged radio greetings. "We pray, in words used thousands of years ago, that the Lord watch between me and thee when we are absent, one from another," the duke's message said. The Queen, in her Christmas broadcast to the British Com monwealth and colonies, said "You will understand me when I tell you that, of all the voices which we have heard this afternoon, none has given my children and myself greater joy than that of my husband." The royal couple married Nov.

20, 1947. They have two children, Prince Charles, 8, the heir apparent, and Princess Anne, 6. DUKE OF EDINBURGH Cmdr. Richard Colville, presi secretary at Buckingham Palace, said today; "It is quite untrue that there is any rift between the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh."

the sov ernmbent reported todav. It was the largest January decline since 1849. The total number of jobholders was almost exactly the same as a year ago, making January the first month since March. 1955, in which employment failed to show a gain from the previous year. Joblessness rose by 469.000 from December.

The joint announce ment by Secretary of Commerce Weeks and Secretary of Labor Mitchell described this as "about an average increase for this time of year." The unemployment total was 2,940,000, or about 4V4 per cent of tne civilian labor force. Despite the sharo droo In em ployment, which the Cabinet of ficers attributed mainly to the 'seasonal non-farm employment was the highest ever recorded for January. It stood at 57,900,000. The report said the decline in employment was attributable to 'sharp" cutbacks in the retail trade and the postal service following the holiday hiring boom. There also were declines in con struction and other outdoor work.

The increase in unemployment was much smaller than the drop in employment, officials said, be cause most of the housewives and students who left Christmas iobs withdrew from the labor market and did not seek other work. flVE CENTS ChildKffled, Mom, Dad In Death Leap New York, Feb. 8 A Brooklyn man and wife plunged 15 stories to their deaths today some three hours after their 5-year-old-daughter died choked to death, the city medical examiner's of- tin exist live eaiu.
