(10 a.m.) LONDON, Feb.'2B. Soon after Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh arrived at the Ideal Home Exhibition at London’s Olympia two men climbed the rails of the balcony and threw a shower of leaflets down on the Royal party. The leaflets bore Communist propaganda about the housing problem. One man shouted: “Houses for all, not for the few. Houses for the working people and not for the rich.” Another man pulled a demonstrator down. The Princess and the Duke ignored the incident.
