New Courthouse
Group to Meet
The courthouse building com
mission has been called for a
session Tuesday afternoon, Jan
uary 3, at 2:30 o'clock to meet
with Pietro Belluschi, Portland
architect, when it is hoped hei
will have exterior sketches of;
the proposed new Marion coun-i
ty courthouse which will meet
with approval of at least a ma
jority of the commission. Inter
ior plans have met with gen
eral approval.
At a meeting a few weeks ago
suggestions as to exterior design1
changes were offered and when
he left he was to prepare new
ones intended to meet the sug
gestions made. !
If approval is given to these
designs it is likely some steps
will be taken toward directing
the architect to get started on
working designs leading up to
the calling of bids and awarding
a contract.
The commission has set July
1, 1950, as the earliest possible
date for getting around to a
start on the structure and this
seems quite unlikely from pres
ent indications, state some of
the members. After a start is
made toward awarding the con
tract there will still be the mat
ter of razing the old structure
and getting the offices moved to
the old Salem senior high school
building before actual construc
tion can get under way and both
of these are admittedly major
undertakings in themselves.

Baby Princess
(Continued from Page 1)
For the little princess there is
a choice of three citizenships
British, Iranian or American.
The prince holds British and
Iranian citizenships. Rita is an
American citizen. Being born
in Switzerland gives the baby
no claim, however, to Swiss cit
izenship. Princess Yasmin, with the
mixture of four bloods in her
veins Spanish-American from
her mother and Iranian-Italian
from her father is the grand
daughter of Aga Khan, spiritual
leader of millions of Moslems
of the Islamic sect and reputed
ly one of the world's richest men.
The Aga Khan, now in Cairo,
was notified immediately of the
birth of his first granddaughter.
The prince said his 31 -year-old
wife had seen the child a
few minutes after regaining
consciousness.
"She seemed awfully pleased,
Aly said. "I myself think she is
a very good looking girl, but
being her father I can't really
say so myself."
The playboy prince, wearing
a black suit and black tie, came
out of the clinic a moment after
his public relations man. Claude
Payot, told newsmen:
"Gentlemen, will you please
stand by for an important an
nouncement by Prince Aly Khan
himself.
Aly joked a little with the
newsmen. He referred to his
crumpled appearance and said:
"I suppose I look as though I
have come through it all my
self. With this beard they are
going to take me for the wild
man of Borneo."'

crossed the mountains by cover
ed wagon to make their home
at Prineville, going there for his

well under construction and
plans to have its entire $15

the pollution of the Willamette

by the discharge therein of mu

Specific Fungus Linked to
Cancer in Human Beings
New York, Dec. 28 (U.fi) A

annual meeting of the American Association for the Advance
ment of Science.
The report came from Dr. Irene Corey Dillcr, of the institute
for cancer research, Philadel-f-
phia, who said that the fungus
had been found in 20 human
cancer cases and that it had not
been discovered in persons free
of cancer. A fungus is a plant
organism of low order develop
ment, some of which are air
borne. She said, however, that "we
arc withholding judgment at this
stage of our work," and that "a
groat deal more work must be
done before definite conclusions
can be drawn."
Dr. Dillcr emphasized that the
"isolation of fungi from tumor
tissue is by no means a new
phenomenon."
She said investigators report-1
ed a similar discovery as far!
back as 1805.
While tests have been made in
20 human cases, the greater part
of the work was none in experi-1
mental animals, she said.
'Our animal work has been
more exhaustive," she said. "We

the city council Tuesday night enacted an ordinance for the
taxing of coin-in-the-slot vending machines.
As amended the act applies only to distributors, Alderman
David O'Hara, its sponsor, explained, and does not apply to
