For the Bio Event

MONTE CARLO. Jan. 81 (P.-I
Monaco's churches and shipping
tycoon Aristotle Onassis' yacht
maintained a round-the-clock
alert today, ready to welcome the
arrival of the first baby Of
Princess Grace and Prince
Rainier, which is expected any
time now.
The public will get the word
this way:
A motorcycle messenger will
speed to the ports saluting bat
terry and the cannon will blast,
l01 times for a boy, 81 for a girl.
Then Monaco's IA church bells
will peal. They are in danger Of
being drowned out by the siren
on Mr.. Onassis' palatial yacht in
the harbor. The bowler can be
heard for six miles. Other yachts
in the harbor will join in the din.
The host Of reporters and
photographers awaiting the
birth went scurrying yesterday
when a 21-gun salute sounded in
Cannes. But it was for the
Sultan of Morocco, pausing
during a Mediterranean tour to
