She is expecting her baby toward the end of the month. (Look Magazine photo from NEA Telephoto). U.S., Monaco At Odds Over Nationality of Princess Grace's Baby Monaco U.R) The United States and the 368-acre princi pality of Monaco are In a dip lomatic tug of war over an un born baby, the heir of Prince Rainier III and his Hollywood movie star wife, Grace Kelly. Rainier has said the child of his Philadelphia-born wife is going to be "uniquely" Mone sjasque. The U.S. State Department Isn't so sure. According to U.S. law, a child of an American parent born abroad has American citizenship until he reaches the age of 21. Then he can decide whether to remain an American or take out citizenship in the country where he was born. Laws Mad by Prince Monegasque law is made pret ty much by the Prince himself, and if he says his child is "uniquely" Monegasque, that's enough for his 2,500 subjects. He is understood to consider it unthinkable that the heir to his throne should bear citizen ship of another nation. But the State Department doesn't like to see U.S. citizen ship plucked away from Ameri can citizens even before they're born. If the state department de cides that the -Prince's decision is arbitrarily depriving an American citizen of his right there may be more fireworks in this community than just those slated to greet the child's birth. Clerks Seeking Answer 1 A battery of clerks is search ing for the answer in Washing ton at the moment. The U.S. consul general in UP'sWalkie-Talkie Surprises Eisenhower Washington U.PJ Presi dent Eisenhower was surprised to learn that the United Press used a walkie-talkie radio to help report his day-long inaugu ration activities. As the President left the pa rade reviewing stand Monday, he noticed Merriman Smith, UP's White House reporter, standing nearby. "What are you doing here?" he asked Smith, peering at the walkie-talkie. "It's the radio which followed you all the way through the campaign," Smith said. "My goodness," the President exclaimed, "I didn't know you used that today." Following the President throughout the day. Smith dic tated a running report on Mr. Eisenhower's activities to the UP Washington office. Board of Education Accepts Health Grants Portland (U.R) The State Board of Higher Education to day accepted grants totaling $228,133 from the U.S. Public Health Service for 16 research projects at three Oregon cam puses. Funds for the projects were part of a total of $473,090 in gifts and grants accepted by the board. Twelve medical research studies at the University of Ore gon medical school will be sup ported by grants of S203.161 from the health service. Another $17,206 will be used for three projects at Oregon State college and S7.7P6 fnr one at the Uni versity of Oregon. , Nice, Louis Thompson, says he hopes to have a ruling from Washington by Wednesday. The United States and Monaco do not maintain diplomatic rela tions for an angry Prince to sev er if the State Department tells him he is not going to take away his child's American birthright. There is little likelihood of any military threat, either. The last time one of Rainier's 70-man army fired a rifle on duty was in 1938 when a soldier tripped and fell during the changing of the palace guard. The blast killed a pigeon. High-Capacity Hay Baler To Serve Farms New Holland, Pa. (U.R) A high-capacity hay baler that turns out evenly-sliced bales, juA like loaves of bread, will be serving farmers soon. The Hayliner, manufactured by New Holland Machine com pany, treats the hay so gently that most of the protein-filled leaves so important to livestock diet will go into the bale and are not lost in the field. Here's how the machine oper ates. As the hay is picked up in the field, it is pushed into a baling chamber by six feeder tines. The tines, revolving in a mod ified ferris-wheel motion, take a "bite" each time they come down on the hay. This "biting" action sends just enough hay into the chamber to make one slice of the bale. By simple adjustment, the machine can eject bales in lengths from one foot to 4 1-3 the length he washes to handle. The machine facilitates great er baling capacity at small bal er cost for average-size farms. United States Signs Pact With Brazil Rio De Janeiro U.R) The United States and Brazil signed a final agreement late Monday for establishing an American guided missile observation sta tion on Brazil's Fernando de No ronha island. Ambassador Ellis O. Briggs signed the pact for the United States, and Foreign Minister Jose C. Macedo Soars signed for Brazil, ending six months of ne gotiations. The Brazilian National Secu rity council voted final approval of the agreement at a special meeting called by President Jus celino Kubitschek. Although terms of the agree ment were not immediately dis closed, it was understood relia bly that it grants long-term use of the island to the United States., although the island and the observation station will be under Brazilian command and fly the Brazilian flag.

Price Tag on Average House Mounts Faster Than Average Income Chicago U.R) The price tag on the average house has risen during the last 10 years almost twice as fast as the average fam ily's income. But the house is bigger and better. These facts were disclosed in a study by the United States Savings and Loan League, which concluded that "tight money" has kept the price of housing within reach. The study showed that build ing costs have risen 37 per cent in the last decade, while the price of the average new house has risen 82 per cent. During the same period the average family's income, esti mated at $5,850 ir. 1956, has risen 42 per cent, the league said. Home Equipped Norman Strunk, league presi dent, said the average cost of a new house in 1947 was S6.750, excluding the land. In 1956 it was $12,300. But Strunk said today's house is larger by at least 300 square feet and probably more. And many houses today come equipped with kitchen and laundry appliances, an extra bathroom or half-bath, and a host of other items not found in the house of 1947. Strunk said the cost of living index has risen only 22 per cent during the decade, so that the typical family has been able to divert a greater share of its ris ing income into housing. He said the triple concoction of rising costs, rising incomes and bigger families has prompt ed the current trend toward big ger and costlier houses. Bedrooms Increased Ten years ago, the study showed most new houses had only two bedrooms. Today they have three. Strunk said he expects the trend to bigger and more ex pensive homes to continue dur ing 1957. As in each of the past 10 years, he said, the price tag will be slightly higher but the house will be larger and better equipped. Strunk said Americans can thank the government's contro versial "tight money" policy for keeping building costs within reach. ' "The inflationary pressures are already strong enough," Strunk said. "If we increase them further by liberalizing gov ernment sponsored home lending or by broadening the govern ment's direct loan program, a new round of inflation is assured." Eisenhower Appears In Excellent Health Washington U.R) Presi dent Eisenhower "apparently li in excellent health," according to his heart specialist. Dr. Paul Dudley White of Bos ton, who treated Mr. Eisenhow er "apparently is in excellent health," according to his heart specialist. Dr. Paul Dudley White of Boston, who treated Mr. Eisen hower after the President's 1955 heart attack, made that observa tion after watching him go through Monday's gruelling in augural schedule. Dr. White, a personal guest of the President at the festivities said he had not personally ex amined Mr. Eisenhower because he saw no reason to do so. He said Maj. Gen. Howard McC Snyder, White House physician had assured him Mr. Eisenhower is in "excellent shape."
