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. .

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.

Old Battleship
Nevada Proves
She Can Take It
WASHINGTON, July 18 (UP)
The battleship Nevada may be
old but she proved' she could
take it off Okinawa about three
months ago.
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.

'Keep Powder Pry'
Is W AC Story;
Show Giiam picfure
"Keep Your Powder Dry," the
new Mctro-Goldwyn-Maycr hit
at the Liberty theater, boasts one
of the season's top casts. ' 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.

Many Interested
In New Course For
Dental Assistants
New two-year terminal course
for the training of medical-den
tal assistants, which will be of
fered for the first time next fall,
is attracting considerable Inter
est from students planning to
enter college this coming fall as
freshmen. 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.
