"Girls on Probation" starring Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman is the companion feature. I knew the minute I entered the yard of Red and Ella, my neighbors, that something pretty Important had happened. Red had on his dark green hat and the sweater which matches it. Red never wears these except on Sundays and paydays. Since this was neither, I asked him how come. Ella's face was still a trifle pale, the littlest of the five chil dren being but a month old. But now her face flushed with excitement and she caroled, "We've bought a farml" I knew they'd planned to do this for a time but now it had happened, my first thought was a selfish one how would I ever get along without them. Sud denly Red's hugeness and Ella's tlnlness were inexpressably dear. "Is it far from here?" I asked. "No, it isn't far you know the place the old Adams farm," and Ella's voice lilted out each syllable, her words winged and bright with Joy. Well that place wasn't so far and I said I'd ride over on Jerry eve- so often. But I rememb ered there was no house on the place that is unless you count ed the old milk house, as the arm nouse had been burned a few years before and tlio nl.-. deserted ever since. But Ella said that Red would pui new underpinnings under ine miiK house, put In a partition mm men would build should have an attic which could only be reached by way of a lad der. No matter what plans for the future mother and daddy might have, for Sonsy that lad der to the attic was her stairway to the stars.

Johnston United Press Staff Corresponndent With the Third Fleet in Saga mi Bay, Aug. 28 U.R Thous ands of Japanese thronged the white beaches of Katase today to watch this triumphant fleet at anchor in Sngami Bay, south of Tokyo. As the afternoon waned the crowds thinned, leaving a few scattered bathers swimming In the surf. Our anchorage lies at the bend of the bay, where the Sagami Peninsula reaches down from the main headline of Honshu Is land. It is a thickly populated region, heavily built up along the coast with homes, beach houses and summer resorts. Strung around the bend and running into each other are the towns of Chignsaki, Katase, Ku rayama and Hnyama. Looking lnt the glaring lnte afternoon sun, I can see shining yellow walls and the green-tiled roof and tower of the summer Imperial palace of Hnyama. which will become Gen. Douglas MacArthurs headquarters alter his arrival. From here I can see bathhous es and cottages nestled under cliffs. The shoreline resembles the northern California coast. Fluffy, cream-colored clouds obscured Fuji-yama most of the time. When gusts of wind whip ped tho clouds away, we could see the snowless, smoke slopes of the sacred mountain only two miles from our anchorage. Katase is only eight miles over the green, wooded bluffs from Yokosuka naval base, which our marine amphibious troops will occupy Thursday.

Aug. 28 (U.R) The court and jury at the treason trial of former puppet Premier Vldkun Quisling took a day off from the courtroom yesterday to Inspect Quisling's Gimle castle at Oslofjord and his "eagle nest" at Asker The prosecution has charged that Quisling bought and fuiN nished the two residences with funds stolen from the public treasury and Individual citizens. Resumption of the trial was postponed to Wednesday after doctors recommended an extra day's rest for Quisling. They ex amined his head following Satur day's session but found nothing seriously wrong. A Swedish broadcast said yes terday that former Relchsmlnis ter Alfred Rosenberg, Nazi Jew baiter who introduced Quisling to Adolf Hitler, might be flown here from Nurnberg to testify for the crown. Rosenberg's diary and a sworn statement already have been ad mitted as evidence. Court circles declined comment on the report that he might appear In person. Meantime all trial testimony and documents were being trans lated Into English for study by lustioe Robert H. Jackson, chief American prosecutor of Nazi war criminals, i.i connection with the forthroming trials of German war criminals. E Steering Comm. Lays Ad vertising Plans Believed Necessary to Draw Trade Salem, Ore., Aug. 25 U.R) The end of the war and the re lease of gasoline has thrown the business of advertising Oregon to tourists into high gear. Several weeks ago Governor Earl Snell said: "The tourist trade can be made Oregon's top industry." Taking the gover nor's statement as a keynote, several promotional organiza tions have started the machinery rolling to attract visitors to the Oregon country. Among these organizations is the governor's 80-man state tourist promotion committee, comprising members of nearly every group in the state inter ested in tourist trade. At a meeting recently with Governor Snell, a steering com mittee of the promotional organ ization laid' preliminary plans for an advertising campaign which they believe is necessary to attract tourists ,to Oregon. First step, the committee agreed, is to advertise the idea to Oregonians themselves to re vive "traditional Oregon courte sy." Hotels and auto courts as well as other tourists' facilities j must be repaired or replaced, the committee said. Suggestions ' were made that tourist camps be 1 designed In western style to create a distinctive atmosphere. ; Taking care of the tourist af ter he arrives in the state will be a greater advertising boon than a boxcar of travel folders. 1 Another point on which the steering committee agreed is that advertising campaigns must be coordinated. By this they im ply that a single agency should be designed to prepare and con tract advertising In publications as well as other types of adver tising. The governor suggested that motion pictures be used to i induce tourists to the Beaver state. Oregon's existing "tourist In dustry" is valued at approxim ately $50,000,000, and Governor Snell says, this can be doubled or even tripled. But it takes money to conduct a campaign of this scope and the committee now is pondering the question of how to finance the scheme. Something may develop along i this line when the state highway commission' tourist travel ad visory committee meets in mid September with the steering committee to Jointly study the situation. Meantime, hotels and resorts In all parts of the state report "conjestcd tourist traffic."
