SIR HUMPHREY GIBBS, right, British royal gover- nor of Rhodesia, leaves the Anglican Cathedral in Salis- buny yesterday after attend- ing services. Sir Humphrey heard the senior Anglican Bishop of . Rhodesia, the Right Rev. Dr. Cecil Alder- son, condemn the _ break- away government of Prem- ier Ian Smith, who last week signed a declaration of independence from Great Britain. ast noght Sir Hum- phrey issued a defiant state- ment that he would not quit the governorship as Smith has demanded. (AP) Inner Struggles Of Sir Humphrey SALISBURY (AP)--Sir Hum- phrey Gibbs, the British-ap- pointed governor of Rhodesia who won't quit, is torn between loyalty to the Crown and the close personal ties he has formed during 37 years in the Central African colony. Gibbs, 63, a tall, lean rancher born in Britain but a Rhodesian citizen, is the Queen's personal representative in the rebellious self-governing colony. to maintain his sovereign's resi- dence, and has grimly dug in for a showdown with Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith. Sir Humphrey has been gov- ernor of Rhodesia for six years. He loves the. roomy freedom and open spaces of Central Af- rica and once remarked to a friend: 'I feel sorry for people who have to live in London and places like that." Humphrey Vicary Gibbs was born in London in 1902 and edu- cated at Eton and Trinity Col- lege, Cambridge. In 1928, aged 26, he left his homeland for Rhodesia to begin a highly suc- cessful ranching life. Early recognition came his way when he organized the country's farmers into the now powerful Rhodesian National Fighting) cided to try his hand at politics, was elected to Parliament and was a member of the govern- ment of Lord Malver, then Sir Godfrey Huggins. As a_politi- cian he was known for his brev- ity. Gibbs soon realized his heart was not in politics. After one term, he left Parliament went back to Bulawayo. "This man is too honest to have remained in politics for long," Lord Malvern said later. In 1959, the Queen named him her representative in Rhodesia and recalled him to public life. He was knighted in 1960. Gibbs was not above winking at friends at formal receptions and, whenever possible, left Government House to go shoot- ing or fishing, or to go back to his farm. ; His wife, the former Molly Nelson, was born in Rhodesia. They have five sons. Sir Humphrey's family motto is tenax propositi--tenacious of purpose. He has lived up to it so far in refusing to bow to Smith's demand that he quit his post.

The Princess said they wanted to see as much as they could of things that "up to now we've only been able to read about.' That included monuments, museums, the grave of presi- dent John F. Kennedy at Ar- lington National Cemetery, and Washington National Cathedral where the historic Glastonbury thorn--true to tradition--burst into bloom for the visit of Brit- ish. royalty. The Glastonbury thorn grew from a cutting given the cathe- dral by British friends in 1902. The cutting supposedly was from the original thorn, which legend says sprouted from the staff of Joseph of Arimathea who is said to have founded the first hristian church in Eng- land at Glastonbury. The thorn's white flowers have blossomed four times pre- viously when British royalty visited Washington. USE LBJ'S PLANE Z The royal couple arrived from Arizona on President Johnson's jet plane and decided to rest after the five-hour flight and an appearance at a jam-packed re- ception where they met the Washington press corps.

But she showed up at Warners Studio Monday as usual for her role in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? She thought the make-up man could take care of the discolored orb. Producer Ernest Lehman, however, sent her to an eye specialist who told her to stay away from the bright studio lights for a few days. Director Mike Nichols said the company would shoot around her.

So far on their three-week U.S. tour which began Nov. 4 in San Francisco, the Princess and her husband reported they had. been most impressed by the. view of the Grand.

Mrs. Johnson was invited to a British embassy luncheon to- day and the Johnsons planned a dinner-dance for the royal vis- litors at the White House Wed- \nesday night. Beside that, there threw the Security Council into an emergency session. British Foreign Secretary Mi- chael Stewart submitted to the Security Council a_ resolution calling for an arms embargo and support of British economic sanctions against Rhodesia. But the large African bloc intro- duced another draft demanding widespread UN penalties, in- cluding the use of military force.

Equipment was being re- designed. But the investigation was continuing. Mr. Hillery said such an equipment failure might happen anywhere again on the North American grid. The difficulty in tracing such a fault was illustrated by the detective work that went on throughout Hydro's vast net- work after the Tuesday break- down. HAPPENED QUICKLY Mr. Hillery said the relay failure happened in 1-20th of a second and the recorders had no chance to show it. He said the surge of 1,600,000 kilowatts sent threugh the United States power grid could have had a cumulative effect as it moved farther from the source of the trouble. Offending relays prere being replaced. Don Nevison, Hydro assistant production engineer, said the idea that one of the relays was responsible occurred to Les Hood, an engineer in Hydro's operations division last week. Mulling over the problems at home he wondered if remote hydro generation in the north- ern grid (which runs almost to James Bay) might have caused the Beck relays to trip out.
