London, Jan. 22. The British Press Council tonight upheld the right of two Sunday newspapers to say that an article by Mr Malcolm Muggeridge, journalist and television personality, "contained a number of unfair, untimely and wounding_dis- paragements of the Royal Family."

The Council, a voluntary T- ganisation which keeps walch on journalistic ethics, was giving its ruling on complaint by MF

Muggerläge that the newspapers -The Sunday Express and The People had published -In- accurate and distorted reports which gave a completely mis- leading impression of what he wrole.
