(IP) Portlanders had $379,000 In war bonds today and a dozen of the buyers had the memory of Lana Turner's kisses as an early divi dend. At the city's Victory Center yesterday the blond film star more than lived up to her prom ise of giving a kin to the buyer of the largest bond. Frederick Freed, 21, got a pair of them one for a $5,000 bond and one because he is go ing into the navy next month. When other buyers upped their purchases Into five figures, Miss Turner increased her contribu tion to the sales effort. A number of unions, organiza tions and individuals bought $10,000 and more in bonds, three going up to $30,000. It was the largest single day of sales here and topped the 80,000 reported at San Fran cisco when Mist Turner ap peared. It likewise was well ahead of Seattle's biggest day to date, $195,000, local bond sale): officials said. The Grange Griffin Crack Grange H. E.

I Chicago flJ.B Housing and furnishing experts believe the war'i Impact may hasten the day when millions of stylish, ' low-cost homes slide down a "conveyor belt" to be purchased by families who once lived in cheap tenements. What was looked upon as an emergency solution to the prob lem of sheltering more than 300,000 of the nation's trans planted war production workers may prove to be "the beginning of mass production methods in home construction," according to Percy Wilson, managing di rector of the Chicago Merchan dise Mart. Wilson said the war housing emergency for the first time had "diverted the attention of the building Industry's best re sources from the more expen sive types of homes." Average Cost $3,800 He said the housing program with "Uncle Sam" in the role of underwriting agent and the nation's top architects and In terior designers taking a hand was "introducing among work ers aesthetic values never before emphasized in low and medium cost construction." A recent display of "a dozen typical war homes" at the Mer chandise Mart's home furnish ings market gave an indication of the "lonft'i'.ge Implications" of the war-home program. Wil son said. Attractive model homes single and multiple units of four and five rooms averaged $3,800 In construction costs and $490 in furnishings. The exhibit, sponsored by the National Retail Furniture asso ciation and the U. S. public building administration, proved home furnishing manufacturers and interior designers are alert to opportunities afforded by the program," he said. A Building Revolution "With their resources now concentrated In this field, it is expected revolutionary advances will be effected In design and economy and that charm and efficiency In the small home will be merged as never before." He said the emergency pro gram had effected a revolution in the building Industry by "Inducing a certain coordination which might conceivably be the beginning of mass production methods in construction "In the past the construction McNary Birthday Just Another Day At Burdened Desk Washington. June 12. UP) Senator Charles L. McNary (R.-Ore.), minority leader of the senate, is 68 years old to day am it's Just another day of work for the dapper Ore gon in who has represented his .late In the senate for 25 years. This year the senator's birthday finds his desk filled with more work than usual because of the war. He said he planned no cele bration but would work at hit office. The senate is not in session. Usually, McNary's friends hold a celebration on his birthday, but his secretary said this year he was too husv. industry, alone of all Industrial I giants, resisted this trend, re- j maining in this day of super organization comparatively i loose federation of crafts, trades , and professions. Construction Codes Obsolete "Not organized In the past for ' large scale production, the build ing Industry has been forced to ; devote Its major attention to the more expensive types of build ing construction, because it did not have volume in the lower j brackets to warrant using there ; the industry's best resources. 1 Moreover, research which would j have led to low cost housing ' innovations has been in the past I defeated by rigid and obsolete! building codes, which In the emergency may be relaxed." 1 He said studies made of de-1 fense workers' wants in furnish- ings Indicated they were con-, cerned primarily with style and color. Other preferences in de- j scending order were: price, qual-1 lty, size and durability. j BRAWLER CONVICTED i IN TAVERN SLAYING I Oregon City, June 12 P) A manslaughter conviction was j voted by a circuit court jury j last night against Ernest Sprague, 27, Portland, In the death of Charles Officer, 30, Oregon City.
