Girl Buried in Mud Slide
Which Demolishes House
In Suburb of Seattle
SEATTLE, UP)—A mud slide
wrecked a new home of a Univer
sity of Washington photographer
shortly before dawn Thursday and
buried his 12-year-old daughter.
The girl was freed by .the in
jured but desperately digging
father after 15 minutes. A blanket
she had jerked over her head
when the house began to crumble
about her saved her from suffoca
tion.
James O. Sneddon, 36, his wife,
Irene, and their daughter, Heath
er, were all taken to a hospital
with minor injuries. Sneddon said
it was “like a living nightmare.”
The slide demolished the house
into which they had moved only
two weeks ago. It is the Lake City
area in Seattle’s extreme north
end.
Farmer Strikes Gold
In Mallard’s Gizzard
MIAMI, Mo.,—Jack Long, a Mi
ami farmer, should be willing to
pay hard cash to any bird watcher
who can tell him exactly where
mallard ducks stop over on their
way south to Missouri. But any
bird watcher with the infortnation
who knows why Long wants to
know, will keep it to himself.
Recently, Long shot a mallard
hen near here, and in cleaning the
bird found three gold nuggets in
its craw.
(Note: Mallards are known to
nest around Candle, Alaska.)
MISTINGUETT DIES AT 82
PARIS, —Mdstinguett, French

day after a two-week illness. She
was 82.
GRACE KELLY
ENGAGED TO
PRINCE RAINIER
MONTE CARLO, Monaco, l/P>—
Prince Rainier of Monaco, royal
ty’s most eligible bachelor, has
captured the heart of Grace Kelly,
one of Hollywood’s most eligible
stars.
Their engagement was an
nounced Thursday—first through
a palace announcement here, and
then by Miss Kelly’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. John B. Kelly, in Phila
delphia.
He is 32 and she is 26.
The handsome prince met the
blonde Miss Kelly when she was
making “To Stop a Thief” on the
Riviera. He is currently visiting
her in the United States.
Rainier is a Roman Catholic, as
is Miss Kelly. He rules over a
mile-square principality on the
Mediterranean coast.
His subjects have been anxious
for him to marry because the
principality reverts to France—
with French taxes—if the sover
eign dies without an heir.
Close friends and relatives of
the Kelly family were invited to a
luncheon for the couple in Phila
delphia Thursday afternoon.
Miss Kelly visited Rainier at
his palace overlooking the Medi
terranean last March, during the
Cannes film festival. After the
prince showed her the state apart
ments, the museum, and his pri
vate zoo in the palace gardens, the
actress declared:
“It was the first time I had ever
been received by a prince. His
simplicity completely conquered
me.”
Nothing To Say ? ? ?
FRANKFORT, Ky., IflV—William
L. Sullivan, taking over as Demo
cratic leader of the state Senate
yesterday, remarked, “I won’t say
anything now since I’ll have a lot
to say later on.”
Wendell Van Hoose, Republican
leader, then told the Senate—
which has 20 Democrats and 8
Republicans:
“I have nothing to say now and
I doubt if I will.”
