Born to Juliana

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 18.-(UPD-
Crown Princess Juliana of The
Netherlands entered Ottawa Civic
hospital today to await the birth of
her third child in hospital room
overlooking Holland avenue and,
for diplomatic purposes, considered
as temporary nor part of Can
ada
The room was declared extra
territorial" in order to avoid the
chance that ~ii neir to the -Sltch
throne might be embarrassed by
contention that, since the child was
born on British soil, it was a Brit
iSh subject.
Netherlands officials smiled at
the fact that the room looked out
on Holland avenue. They insisted
it merely was a coincidence.
The Princess condition WIS de-
scribed as excellent and officials
said she entered the hospital to-
day as a precautionary measure
intimating that birth of the child
was not expected until later in the
week.
