Dutch Princess’ Engagement * Will Be Announced Today

THE HAGUE (Reuters)-The Dutch roya! family gathered at Soestdijk Palace for the con- troversial engagement today of Crown Princess Beatrix, 27. and West German diplomat Claus von Amsberg.

As Queen Juliana prepared to make the announcement. of her daughter's encagement. palace and government circles showed sgns of growing nervousness as to how the Dutch people will react

Police were reported to have heen placed on alert for possible anti-German demonstrations

Von Amsherz. 38, was at the princess home _ Drakesteyn Castle. near Utrecht

Official nervousness was caused bv the still-vivid mem- ories of the Nazi occupation, of Holland

HITLER YOUTH MEMBER

oo Amsherg was a member of the Hitler Youth and served

witt a Panzer division in Italy| in which some of Hitler's notort- | ous elite troops were incorpor- ated.

Premier Joseph Cals has said all the facts—“pleasant and un- pleasant"’—about von Amsberg will be made public.

He sent Holland's leading war historian, Dr. L de Jong, to Italy to make lasi-minute’ in- vestigations. De Jong told re- porters von Amsberg had seen

ne war action and had been no- —

where near the scene of atroci- ties committed by the Nazis.

But most observers agreed that merely because the engage- ment is so controversial, it is harmful to the monarchy as an Institution.

A commentator in the Roman Catholic newspaper De Volk- skrant said: “One false step py von Amsberg and the monarchy can receive a blow from which it cam never recover.”

The couple is protestant.

12 Canadians Are Winners In Sweeps Race Saturday

By THE CANADIAN PRESS Twelve lucky divide a jétal of $1:120,000 be- cause they held tickets on the

winning horses in Saturday's Irish Derby at The Curragh, Dublin

Three men and three women will each receive $150,000 for holding tickets on winning Mea- dow Court, the favorite. Two men had tickets on second-place Convamore, worth $60,900 each, and three men and a woman will get $30,000 for having drawn tickets on Wedding Pres- ent, the third-place horse

The winners reacted in differ- ent ways to their good fortune.

home third and win him $30,000 dollars. He said

If I had my way Id still be sleeping.”

PLANS VARY

Immediate plans for using the money ranged ‘from a vacation in California to sending the kids through college. Mrs. McArthur had a practical thought:

“Now I can get the rugs cleaned'" she said.

James Smith of Winnipeg said of the $60,000 he will receive for a ticket on second-place Con- vamore:

“This will take me off skid-

row.”

Mr. Smith had heen unem- ployed for four years following an industria) accideri and has been living on a $114-a-month veteran's allowance.

More than $200,000 will be distributed to 184 Canadians whe held tickets om other horses which either did not start the race or did not finisy in the money. Each ticket-holder will get about $1,100, depending upon the size of the total pool.
