ceipt of letters from their sons,
Capt. David Baum and Cpl. Rich
ard Baum, each inquiring about
tho whereabouts of the other and
both stationed in Rheims, France,
for the past month. The parents

hoping the word will reach them
before Richard leaves with his
company, which is scheduled to

to Ft. Lewis where he will re
ceive his furlough and be home

fact that according to the letter
from Capt. Baum, he was all but
aboard the ship for return home,
when his furlough was can
celled and he was ordered to
guard a huge quartermaster
dump at Rheims.

Funeral Services
Not Arranged For
Nina Lane Faubion
Daughter of Early
Oregon Family,
Painter, Writer
EUGENE, Aug. 9 (UP) No
formal funeral services were ar
ranged today, in compliance with
her final request, for Mrs. Nina
Lane Faubion, 81-year-old Ore
gon journalist, historian, painter,
archeologist and political figure,
who died Monday in Eugene.
Her death recalled many of Or
egon's historic events, for she was
a granddaughter of Gen. Joseph
Lane, first territorial governor of
the Oregon territory; daughter of
Harry Lane, former Portland
mayor and one of the state's most
famous United States senators;
wife of logging contractor David
P. Faubion, a member of a pio
neer family; and active in public
life four decades.
Although she had been in ill
health, she was preparing a biog
raphy of her grandfather for New
York publishers.
In the election of 1912, she ran
against her father for the Oregon
state legislature, contending he
.should be in the United Stales
senate "and not wasting his time
at Salem." He was elected to the
United States senate two years
later.
She was one of his secretaries
and his close associate when he
was one of six senators to vote
against American participation in
World War I.
