Just before they met the princ

spect her privacy. This appeal
was part of a royal family state
ment saying no announcement of
the princess plans is "at present"
contemplated.
Neither the royal statement nor
the rendezvous did anything to
diminish persistent reports that
the vivacious princess will wed the
divorced war hero.
But it may dampen somewhat
the frenzied speculation in Lon

press is sensitive to such appeals
from the A royal family.
The 25-year-old princess and the
40-year-old RAF group captain

State Argues
Evaluation of
Walton Stock
A suit by the state over eval
uation set on the estate of the
late William Walton, prominent
Salem banker and landowner,
was indicated Friday - in . docu
ments filed in Marion County
Clerk's office by estate attorneys
and the state treasurer. ,
i The dispute appeared to bo
based on a difference in evalua
tion . placed on 1,000 shares "of
Columbia River Paper Company
stock included in the estate.
Value set by administrators for
the stock was $149,550. The state
says; it is worth $497,000. r -
A second point was apparently
in contention, that of provisions
for a charitable trust set up by
Walton and valued at about
$500,000. The state contends the
provision does not qualify under
existing statutes for tax exemp
tion because it is too indefinite
and uncertain.
I Total value of estate was fixed
at S2.120.0O0. Walton died Nov.
27, 1954, after a heart attack.
