PAGE SIX THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1949 Diamond's Owner Wanting to Sell For Wedding Gift Washington, April 1 U'i Pag ing Aly Kahn! There's a big operator In town who wants to sell the fubled Hope diamond to Rita Hayworth's favo rite Indian. He thinks Rita wpuld like it as a wedding present. There's Just one catch. The big operator, Jack M. Werts of Day ton, O., doesn't own the Hope dia mond yet. i But he thinks ho may have It in a week or so. And if Rita and Aly aren't afraid of the Jinx that's supposed to haunt the gem, he figures it would add a romantic touch to their wedding. Especial ly since the stone came originally from India some 300 years ago. It's not all romance with Werts, however. "The money's there," he said practically. "That Aly Kahn is good pay." Right now, the Hope diamond, a blue-white, 44 Vj carat bauble that has adorned some of his tory's most publicized beauties, belongs to the estate of the late Evalyn Walsh McLean. When she died two years ago, Mrs. McLean left the Hope and the rest of her $606,000 Jewelry collection to her seven grandchil dren. The gems were to be held In trust until 1967, when the youngest grandchild, Mamie Spears Reynolds, will be 25 years old. . But the trustees recently ob tained permission to sell the en tire lot, at not less than the ap praised value, to pay off tax claims against the estate. 12 Months Remain For 'Mrs. Heart' ' Oklahoma City, April 1 (IP) What would YOU do if you had $10,000 and were told that you had only 12 months to live?
