Want to Be a Princess ?
Come to England . . .
LONDON OP) — Want to be a
princess-genuine, enough to sign
your name that way on a bank
check? Come to England.
Mrs. Patrick Huckett decided to
give her baby daughter a fast
start on Britain’s social ladder.
“I want her Christian name to
be Princess,” she announced to
shocked officials at the Register
Office.
Neither Mrs. Huckett nor her
husband, an ex-boxer who works
in a grocery store, have any pre
tensions to royal blood.
The family home is in a tene
ment-studded Cockney district of
south London.
“You can’t call her that,” offi
cials told Mrs. Huckett.
She asked why not. The offi
cials looked vague
“It's a title, not a name,” they
said, uncertainly. “The child will
only be laughed at when she
grows up."
But Mrs. Huckett, 21, was ada
mant. A check with higher au
thority showed there was no law
against it. So the 3-months-old
baby went down on the books as
Princess Bilinda Huckett.
“Of course we get plenty of
babies called Duke, or Earl,” one
official said. “But Princess,
really.”
Mrs. Huckett said she got the
idea from her father.
“He said he knew a chap with
the Christian name of Lord. When
they went on a plane to Switzesv
land, everybody was fussing
around tills chap.”
The father of Princess said he
had not been forewarned about
his wife’s idea.

U-2 Pilot Powers
Completes First
Full Year in Prison
MOSCOW m — Francis Gary
Powers, pilot of the U-2, com
pleted his first full year in pri
son Saturday with nobody know
ing for sure how he is getting on
or his prospects for release.
He was sentenced Aug. 20 last
year to 10 years “deprivation of
liberty” for. spying. The first
three were to be served in prison,
the remainder in a labor camp.
Imprisoned at Vladimir, about
100 miles east of Moscow, Powers
is said to be working at a paper
shop making envelopes.
At the U. S. Embassy all that
could be learned was that repeat
ed requests to see Powers had
been ignored. The Foreign Office
accepts the requests, then simply
gives no reply. The last request
was mfide about a month ago.
In the United States, Barbara
Powers, wife of the pilot, said
two weeks ago she had received
an indication in a letter from her
husband that he might be trans
ferred from the prison to a labor
camp in about three months.
Embassy officials had no in
formation to support that but
seemed somewhat dubious.
It is possible of course that
Powers has been given credit for
good behavior so that his prison
term might be shortened.
His sentence provided that the
time he had served after his plane
came down near Sverdlovsk May
1 last year would be considered
as a part of his time served.
If he is to be released in three
months he would have served
about half of the time he was to
stay in prison.
Mrs. Powers has indicated she
would come to Russia to be with
her husban^ at least for -a time
on his transfer from prison to the
labor camp.

The outbreak is the latest to
plague foresters of the huge

So far as is known no Ameri
can has seen Powers since mem
bers of his family were allowed

son officials to spend a few hours
alone with her husband on the
outskirts of Moscow just before
he was taken away. She apparent

Strong Earthquake
Jolts Central Japan
TOKYO UPi — A strong earth
quake jolted central Japan Sat
urday and police said at least five
persons were killed and 11 in
jured. No major property damage
was reported, however.
The epic center was in a thin
ly populated area of the Gifu
Kukui provincial border. Serious
damage would have been caused
if it had been in a populated area.
It was of the same magnitude as
the great tremor that ravaged
Fukui in 1948.
Other major cities were joked
by the quake. Tidal wave warn
ings were issued in some areas
but were cancelled.
Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas
Mikoyan and his party were visit
ing the Osaka-Kyoto area when
the quake struck.
