Delivers First
Speech In U. S.
By PHYLLIS BATTELLE
NEW YORK (INS)
While his serene Princess Grace looked at him dewily and dotingly, Prince Rainier of Monaco Thursday delivered his first public address in America.
It amounted to a princely pitch for tourist trade in his 360-acre homeland.
"My country is not only a 'sunny spot for shady people'," said the Prince, shyly quoting Author Somerset Maugham, "it is also a place of research and thought and we have lasted, despite our small size, for even centuries."
The mustached monarch delivered his address at a meeting of the overseas press club in the Empire room of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, and it was hard for the 250 guests to concentrate on his words - so radiant was his proud, patrician bride.
The former Miss Kelly, startlingly pale and beautiful in an all-black costume, behaved like a lass stricken with love at first sight.
During her husband's nervously-delivered 10-minute speech, she kept her hands clasped before her and her eyes focused fondly on his face.
The meeting was thrown open to questions from Overseas Press Club members after all the champagne had been consumed, and Grace was asked if there was "anything you've missed about America during your residence in Monaco?"
Slowly she rose and, in her usual quiet voice, announced:
"My husband and the people of Monaco have gone to such pains to make me feel at home. But naturally, I miss my friends and family and a few American dishes.
"I don't know, though, if it is just being away or having a baby that made me miss certain things to eat."
