Baby Graduates Into Incubator PORTLAND, July 18 (UP) A "pre-natal" . birthday party was being held for Richard Allen Lee today six weeks earlier than his birth was scheduled because he has graduated :from an oxygen tent to an incubator. Born a month ago today, his arrival was estimated by physi cians to have occurred 26 weeks after conception. His physician now believes he'll survive, and if he continues to thrive at present rate he'll be joining his mother at home Aug. 20. But not his father because Sgt. Warren Lee, medical techni cian, is in the south Pacific, and until he receives the first letter from home he will not know he is a father. ; - . When Richard arrived June 18 at a Portland hospital, weighing exactly, what a wrapped pound-and-a-half of butter would weigh, doctors and nurses had little hope he'd live. Only one child out of every 1,000 with so precarious a hold on life stays alive for a week affer birth. . Richard now , wqigits pounds, nine ounces. two Veteran's Family Can't Believe House It Occupies WASHINGTON, July 18 (UP) First Lt. Walter P. O'Rourke, 38-year-old veteran of D-day and the battle of France, looked around him and muttered, "It's a long way from a foxhole." His wife and three children were similarly overawed. Nine- year-old Mary Gertrude couldn't get it quite straight in her mind. "It's a school," she said. Then, "No, it's a library." . Anyway, she wound up, "This one room is bigger than our whole house." The O'Rourkcs were moving out of their house, a smallish bungalow, because it had been sold, and the new owner wanted to move in. Mrs. O'Rourke and the children' Had been on the point of being evicted when the lieutenant was invalided home. They were moving, but not in to just another bungalow. They were establishing residence for as long as it takes them to find permanent quarters in Friend ship, the magiriificently furnish ed mansion of Mrs. Evalyn Walsh McLean. She read about their plight in a newspaper and opened her home to them. Eleven-year-old Daniel Patrick O'Rourke overlooked the rare French and Italian antiques and approached an $18,000 gilt piano. In a moment he was batting out boogie-woogie. The O'Rourkcs were at home. Home loans that will pay y generous dividends in money and time saved.

The veteran battlcwagon,-only capital ship to get under way during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, was assigned to bombardment duties in support of the Okinawa landing. Before she finished her job, a flaming suicide plane crashed her deck causing 60 casualties. Considerable damage was done to the ship itself, but four hours after the attack, the Nevada was in the firing line. . About a week later, enemy shore batteries engaged in an 18 minute duel with the Nevada late in the afternoon. Five shells hit the ship before she could open up on the Japs. Two of her crew were killed, eight ser iously injured and eight slight ly wounded. . In this 18-minute action,' the Nevada fired 71 rounds from the 1 inch main batterly alone. When the smoke cleared away, the tar get area resembled a gravel quarry. The Nevada's skipper is Capt. Homer L. Grosskopf, of Arling ton, Va. The first oil burning battleship in the U. S. navy, the Nevada was commissioned March 11, 1918 at the navy yard, Boston.

' It stars Lana Turner,' Laraine Day and Susan Peters. "' It's a human story of three girls, from different walks of life, who join the celebrated wo men's army corps. Each has a different motivation: Lana. as the spoiled Valeric Parks, enlists in order to protect an inherit ance; Laraine, as the ''army brat" Leigh Rand, is confident of her superiority because of her upbringing and training; and Su san, as Ann Darrison, has a hus bad in the service .overseas and wants to do' her own bit to help speed the victory. ' Under Japanese oppression labor on Guam was cruelly ex ploited. Forced labor began at dawn and continued until sun down with everyone from seven to seventy considered able-bodied.- Wages . were nonexistent and promises of pay were cheap. However, the reign of terror is over and. the latest RKO "This Is America", film entitled "Guam -Salvaged- Island," produced by Frederic Ullman, jr., now at the Liberty theater, depicts the re birth of normalcy.

Indications are that registration In this course will exceed the original expectation, according to Lyle H. Johnson, registrar. The course is designed for stu dents interested in receiving training so they may be quail- ilea to work In a doctor s or den tist's office and the training will be taken from both the secre tarial science field and the field of nursjng so a graduate will be qualified to do both office and laboratory assistant work. Before inauguration of the course a thorough check was made and it was found the need for young women qualified to render this service is great and doctors and dentists have indi cated a desire to use graduates from the college. Practical ex perience will be obtained in doc tors' and dentists' offices of La Grande during the training per iod at the college. Further in formation regarding this curric ulum may be obtained by writ ing tne registrar at Eastern Ore gon college, New Rate Schedule Will Save 'Million' SALEM, July 18 (UP) About $1,000,000 yearly will be saved by customers of tlio Pacific Pow er and Light company due to the filing of new rate schedules by the company, George H. Flagg, Oregon public utilities commis sioner, said today. A refund by the company, which operates in both Oregon and Washington, last year sent about $600,000 back to customers. Continued high earnings and savings made by a refinancing program now in progress permit ted the large cut in rates this year, Flagg said, which will be effective after Aug. 22. The cut will be aboutl 4 per cent to most residential and rural users of the company's electricity, and an average of about 15 per cent to commercial and indus trial accounts, with some indi vidual savings as large as 20 or 30 percent, Flagg said.
