western powers reaching an

My Khan's Status
Rent (UPI) Moslem
Prince Aly Khan cannot be
sued in District Court because
he has diplomatic immunity,
his attorney argued Monday
Two Reno attorneys filed
motions seeking to force
Chan to pay fees amounting
to about $21,000 as a result
of a. legal battle between the
prince and movie star Rita
Hayworth over visitation
rights regarding their daugh
ter, Princess Yasmin. The red-
haired screen siren and the
princess subsequently visited
Khan in Paris in 1956.
Khan and Miss Hayworth
were divorced in District
Court in 1953. The prince
made a formal appearance in
court a year later, at which
time a property settlement
waQ approved.
The fees were sought by
New York attorney Bartley
Crum and Wrlliam Forman of
Reno. ,
However, attorney Kenneth
Dillon of Reno argued Dis
trict Court was without jur
isdiction because the prince is
a Pakistanian ambassador ex
traordinary and the Moslem
nation's permanent represen
tative in the United Nations.
District Judge A. J. Maes
tretti took Dillon's argument
under study. He said he
would rule in a few days.

Leon Hendrick Monday for
sentencing on charges of for

He had no local record and
was eligible for probation.
But the judge inquired
whether the defendant had
been in any previous trouble.

revealed that he was under
probation on similar charges

The hearings, open to the
public, are held in the Capitol
building here.
In his fifth day of testimony
Eubanks completed a detailed
account of how he and his
staff cruised and evaluated
timber and timberland in
Coos, Benton, Lane and Doug
las counties.
Eubanks again declared
that lack of detailed informa

to logging costs has proven a
handicap in the valuation process.
He. said that in Lane coun

major timber operators pro
vided mass cost figures but
declined to break then down
for his purposes. As a result,
he said, the information was
virtually useless.
would use such a meeting as
a propaganda sounding board
to harangue the U.S. and Brit
ain for military intervention
in the Lebanon and Jordan,
and to make Russia appear as
the champion of Arab na

diplomats at the United Na

respondent they thought there
was, a slight chance Khrush
chev might be willing to
come to terms acceptable to
the West on a formula for
neutralizing the Middle East,
or at least part of it, in the
cold war.
A Lesser Evil
These diplomats felt there
would certainly be disadvan

tralization plan for that vital

An effective neutralization
plan that might be acceptable
to the western powers, Rus

would, in the opinion of some
U. N. diplomats, have to in
clude the following:

2. Creation of a strong, per

of any Middle East nation
threatened with aggression,
including infiltration of arms
and "volunteers";
3. A pledge by all the
