Eden's Marital Status May
Ease Way For Princess To
Take Townsend as Husband
London (U.R) The fact that
Prime Minister Anthony Eden is
the innocent party in a divorce
case may ease the way for a
marriage between Princess Mar
garet and RAF Group Capt.
Peter Townsend, it was believed
today.
A well placed authority on
royal protocol said the Eden ap
pointment by Queen Elizabeth II
would have "interesting" reper
cussions and admitted "it might
one day become bound up with
the Margaret-Townsend story.
Remarriage Not Recognized
1 Townsend, like Eden, was the
innocent party in a divorce. But
the Church of England does not
recognize a remarriage by a di
vorcee if the other spouse is
still living.
Eden was the first divorced
man ever summoned to be Prime
Minister, and the Queen is de
fender of the faith, pledged to
uphold the rules of the church.
Today she not only received
Eden at Buckingham palace but
charged him with the highest
office she can confer.

Other Irish newspapers were

Private Investors
May Be Needed for
Atom Development
San Francisco '(U.R) A finan
cial expert says American inves
tors will have to supply at least
$40,000,000,000 to pay for the
cost of developing atomic ener
gy in the next 20 years.
This prediction came Tuesday
from Gordon R. Molesworth,
atomic energy consultant to the
New Yoik Stock Exchange firm
of Harris, Upham and company.
He spoke, to 600 industrialists
and scientists attending the sec
ond of a two-day atomic energy
conference
Enormous Sources Needed
Molesworth said "enormous"
financial resources will be need
ed for atomic power develop
ment. Financing of nuclear pow
er facilities alone will require
$20,000,000,000 he said.
"The great bulk of these funds
will be required by electric util
ity firms, and they will be need
ed in large blocks of perhaps
$50,000,000 each," he said.
Nothing for Power
Another $20)00,000,000 will
probably be required for "pack
age" power reactors, for ship
board nuclear propulsion sys
tems, for locomotive and air
craft reactors, he said.
"Beyond that, we have as yet
allowed nothing for domestic fi
nancing of power reactors and
other nuclear facilities for the
foreign market," Molesworth
said. .
"The opportunities abroad
will be huge and I, for one, hope
that U.S. industry's share of that
market will be preponderant. If
it is, even more capital will be
required and some of it quite
soon."

Baldock Objects
To Weighmaster
Control by Police
Salem U.R)R. H. Baldock,
state highway engineer, yester
day objected to a bill before the
House Highways committee that
would take state weighmasters
out of the highway department
and put them under state police
control.
Baldock asserted that enforce
ment of overload laws had been
more effective since the highway
department assumed the func
tion in 1941 and that overloaded
trucks were ruining the high
ways while the stated police had
charge of weight scales.
Citizen Arrest Powers
For 10 years the highway de
partment enforced weight laws
with only powers of citizen ar
rest. It had no police powers un
der the law until 1951.
Supporters of the bill have
contended that enforcement du
ties were the logical function of
police, not highway officials and
that state police would get
along better with the truckers
hailed into weighing station. Po
lice could then, at the same
time, check heavy vehicles for
other violations of highway
laws, according to proponents.
Sustained Program
Baldock afgued that the
weight limit enforcement pro
gram has been effective because
it is a sustained program and not
on a spot check basis as might
be provided by state police. He
also pointed out that many
weighmasters are from the ranks
of the physically handicapped
and could not be asorbed into
the police system with its higher
physical standards. Many would
be put out of work by the bill,
he said.
Gen. Collins Wins
Truce in Indochina
Saigon, Indochina (U.R) .
Gen. J. Lawton Collins, Presi
dent Eisenhower's special envoy,
won a seven-day truce today be
tween Indochina's rebellious
warlords and pro-American Pre
mier Ngo Dinh Diem.
The agreement that again
warded off civil war came after
hectic hours of night-long bar
gaining.
Premier Diem and his armed
rivals, the powerful "United Na
tionalist Front," agreed at dawn
to sheath the sword and maintain
an armed truce for a week.
While Collins put pressure on
Diem, his French colleague, Gen,
Paul-Henri Ely, high commis
sioner and commander in chief
of the French Expeditionary
Corps, worked with Diem's die
hard adversaries, the politico-
religious sects.

Fireballs Sighted
Oyer New Mexico
Lordsburg, N. M. (U.R)
Civil Air .patrol planes today
searched but failed to find a
trace of a mysterious object
which apparently crashed and
exploded near here in an intense
white heat.
Meanwhile, the University of
New Mexico Meteoritics Insti
tute puzzled over a green fire
ball which flashed over the
southeast part of the state and
was seen as far north as Albu
querque, 200 miles away!
The two were the first major
fireballs sighted in New Mexico
since last September.
CAP Lt. Paul Mallott said
those who had seen the white
light here described it as "fall
ing so fast we couldn't make
out its size or its shape," but a
vapor trail trailed behind as it
fell.
