NEW LOOK FOR PRINCESS Rarely photographed

the diplomatic corps during an intermission at the opera
in Monaco. 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."
Kremlin Officials
Distribute Medals
Moscow (U.R) Russia's top
leaders fanned out over the So
viet Union on an unprecedented
medal-giving binge today in
hopes of spurring the peasants
on to bigger grain harvests.
Virtually the entire top eche
lon of Kremlin officials toured
the country distributing medals
to an estimated 100.000 citizens
The medals ranged from the
toD-rank'-i( Lenin Order to sini
pie discs . for "excellence in
work."
