Beauteous Lana Turner
Leads Sales Campaign
Total Tops 'Frisco, Seattle
Portland, June 12. (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.

U. P. Staff Correspondent. 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
