to be Grand Duchess Anasta-
sia of Russia is correct. He
had been appointed by the
court as chief expert to give
anthropological testimony in
a two-year court fight.
His findings were expected
to weigh heavily with the
judges, digging through tons
of background material and
listening to scores of wit
nesses in an attempt to solve
the Anastasia mystery, one of
the outstanding riddles of the
century.
Official history records that
Anastasia Nikolaievna Roma
nov, youngest daughter of the
last Czar, was killed by the
Bolsheviks in the mass mur
der of the royal family at
Ekaterinburg in 1918.
Reche visited Mrs. Ander
son in June at her Black For
est home for comparative
scientific studies based on
background material and
some 200 pictures and photo
graphs of the real Anastasia
When word of Reche's re
port filtered out first yester
day German bluebloods tele
phoned newspaper offices in
Hamburg for confiramtion.
The German royal house of
Hesse, represented by Duch
ess Barbara of Mecklenburg,
is contesting Mrs. Anderson's
claim in court and says she
is actually Franziska Schanz
kowski, born to a Polish peas
ant family. '
If the court upholds Reche's
findings, European royalty
which has treated Mrs. An
derson as an imposter, will
have to reconsider its atti
tude.
Court President, Wilhelm
Bergmeister is expected to
call for another public hear
ing in the Anastasia case and
that may be one of the final
sessions before a ruling is is
sued.

dividends to which the PEPCo

be entitled will necessarily
be transferred to Portland
