Shah Drops In on 'Ordinary'
American Family; Gets Pie
San Francisco, Dec. 19 U.n The Shah of Iran chatted with
a typical American family and ate homemade apple pie in
their living room.
His Royal Highness and the Americans were equally impressed
with one another.
The Shah, who often has ex
pressed his desire to visit an ord
inary American home, got his
chance Saturday.
Accompanied by State De
partment Special Agent William
Huskey of Washington, he
ducked out on the high brass
for a couple of hours and
dropped in on Mr. and Mrs.
Martin Ratto of Alameda, Calif.
Huskey, a friend of the Rat
to's, called them earlier and
told them he would be over
with a friend for a visit. He
didn't tell them who he was
bringing.
The Ratios were astounded
when Huskey introduced bis
tall, athletic-looking friend, the
Shah but not too excited to
forget hospitality.
While the Shah sat on the
sofa and chatted with the young
er members of the family, teen
aged Martin, Jr., and Dickie,
Mrs. Ratto dashed to the kitchen
end cut an apple pie fresh from
the oven.
The pie was baked by Mrs.
Ratto's mother, Mrs. Richard
Osterberg of Alexandria, Minn.,
who is visiting for the holidays.
Sipping coffee with his pie
and a side dish of ice cream,
the Shah chatted amiably with
the Ratto family for almost an
hour.
Driving his blue convertible
back to San Francisco across the
San Francisco Bay bridge, he
told Huskey he was very much
impressed with "the complete,
sincere friendliness" of the
Rattos.
"I would have considered my
trip to the United States in
complete if I had not met an
ordinary American family," he
said.
The Shah is scheduled to leave
for New York Sunday after a
week in San Francisco.

Chicago, Dec. 19 VP) Arthritis
patients will ' suffer no lasting
ill effects from treatment with
the new hormones Corisone or

The foundation's medical ad

what it said were "recent re
ports of unfavorable and even
dangerous results from use of
the drugs," said in a statement:
Once the new drugs become
available in sufficient amounts,
there is no known reason for
withholding them from any
arthritis patient because of
dangers associated with their
administration."
The foundation's conclusions
were reached, the statement said
from "published and verbal re
ports and unpublished observa
tion of the qualified medical and

Denmark Fears
Armament
Copenhagen, Dec. 19 UP)
Danish Foreign Minister Gustav
Rasmussen said today Denmark,
as well as Norway, is opposed to
a large American military mis

under the U. S arms bill, be
cause of possible communist crit
icism.
Commenting on reports that
Norway has complained that a
large military mission to that
country might cause criticism
from the Soviet Union and east
ern European countries, Rasmus
sen said Denmark has stressed
the same point during negotia
tions in Washington.
Under the U. S. arms bill
providing the basis for bilateral
agreements between the U S.

sions are to be sent to each At

But the real blow fell today,
when Oregon Journal staffers,
out covering the tree, noticed it
was the same one which was
listed as 138 feet high last year.
Registered surveyor H. R.

thing. It wasn't 161 feet high. As

MATRIMONIAL TURNOVER HEAVY
Filmland Has Big Year in
Hitching and Unhitching in '49
Hollywood, Dec. 19 VP) This was Hollywood's marrylngest
year. Also the divorcingest.
Never has there been such a terrific turnover in filmdom
matrimony as in 1949. The hitching and unhitching had re
porters scrambling for scoops.
Most sensational of the mar
riages came on May 27 when
Rita Hayworth and Aly Khan
exchanged gold rings in the
town hall of Vallauris, France.
This merger of Hollywood gla
mor and the riches of the cast
captured the world's interest.
Another European wedding
ranked with that one for ex
citement. While Italian mobs
screamed "Ty Ty Ty," erstwhile
Actress Linda Christian became
the bride of Tyrone Power in
Rome. The ceremony took place
on Jan. 27, just eight hours be
fore Annabella's California di

Bachelorhood lost its long
time exponent when Jimmy
Stewart married Socialite Glo

She confessed siie used to be his
fan and "cut out his pictures
when I was a kid."
Jennifer Jones married her

Europe Plans'
Central Bank
Paris, Dec. 19 () Nations
getting Marshall plan money are
studying, a U. S. plan for a
central bank of Europe to sim
plify their financial problems, it
was learned today.
Plans for such a central bank
were given to the 18 participat
ing nations a week ago by the
economic cooperation adminis
tration (ECA). Since then indi
vidual governments have been
pondering the scheme and will
bring their ideas to a consulta
tive conference in Paris, prob
ably Tuesday.
Briefly, the plan would be a
currency pool, or clearing house,
in which European nations
could balance their books with
each other. Deficits and surplus
es resulting from trade between
the participating nations would
be settled periodically through
the bank instead of between in
dividual nations.

into the spirit and went through

But the marital splits were
just as loud and numerous. Big
gest bombshell was the break
between Ingrid Bergman and Dr.
Peter Lindstrom following her
Stromboli idyll with Roberto
Rossellini.
Almost as thundering was the
split of Shirley Temple and John
Agar. The fable of their story
book marriage was shattered
when she aired her troubles in
a divorce court.

Santa Claus, Ind., Dec. 19 VP)
If Santa Claus makes his
rounds in a Jet plane this Christ
mas, you can be sure he took a
hint from the youngsters.
'Almost all the boys want
jet planes this year," said Santa,
looking up from his big stack of
letters. They've been coming in
at the rate of 2,500 a day at San
ta Claus postoffice.
"A surprising number of girls
are asking for toy pianos," he
announced.
Last year Santa and his help
ers answered 30,000 letters, and
postmaster Elbert heinke thinks
the number will go higher this
year.
Helpers are members of the
Santa Claus committee of the
American Legion post here, as
well as high school student
typists.
