Mrs. J. O, Chapman was placed in a hospital as a pro tective measure by her doctor after the birth took place Sun day night. But the physician, Dr. Charles B. Griggs, admitted Mrs. Chapman suffered no ill effects and that he only or dered her confined to a hospital bed "because it seems like the thing to do." Lying In Bed ' Petite Mrs. Chapman said she was lying in bed listening to the radio discussion about child birth. "All of a sudden," she said, "I felt my child move. I heard a cry and there he was." The baby weighed three pounds six ounces and was a month and a half premature. After the birth, Mrs. Chap man wrapped the child in a mackinaw, left a note for her husband, jack, 22, a miner, and then walked more than a mile to a doctor. "Mot Unusual" Asked if the long hike through the hills to get medical aid did n't tire her, Mrs. Chapman re plied: "Oh, that didn't bother me. Having a baby was nothing eith er." It was her first child. Dr. Griggs said the birth was "most unusual" but added there were cases on record of birth without pain. She said the moth er apparently was in exactly the right mental state and in relaxed physical condition so that the painless delivery was possible. 80-Year-Old Sisters Flying to Hawaii Denver, Apr. 7 (U.R) Air planes hold no fear for three sis ters all more than 80 years old who arc on their way to Ha waii today.

We switched our plans, Mrs. Lashell said, "to see if Ted was using his imagination too much." With them went Mrs. Susan C. Sherman, another of Mrs. Lashell's children.

Cal., Apr. 7 (U.R) Atomic-powered submarines may lead attacks which would turn U. S. coastal cities into World War III Pearl Harbors, Vice Adm. Charles A. Lockwood pre dicted today. Lockwood, retired wartime commander of the Pacific sub marine fleet, warned that Russia "probably" has entered into a race with the U. S. to build the first "A-sub" Called 'Miracle Ships' Interviewed at his Los Gatos home, Lockwood described atomic-powered submarines as "miracle warships" with an al most "unlimited" surface cruis ing range and capable of carry- Medical Experts Continue Studies Of Atomic Injuries Salt Lake City, Apr. 7 U.R) Representative western medical experts today continued their studies in Salt Lake City of the peculiar injuries caused by the atomic bomb explosions par ticularly radiation injuries that technicians said were difficult to treat. Dr. John Z. Bowers of the atomic energy commission re search staff told of Japanese vic tims in Hiroshima and Nagasaki he had examined. He said those blasted by concussion and burned by heat of the bomb were treated in an "ordinary" manner. Transfusions Included For victims suffering from effects of radiation. Bowers said treatment included blood and plasma transfusions to combat shock and facilitate natural re covery processes. Bowers, who next fall will be come dean of the University of Utah medical college, said aerial bomb blasts like those unleashed on Japan cause few radiological injuries unless the victims are immediately exposed. Lingering Radioactivity However, he pointed out that in near-surface or underwater explosions like the second 1946 experimental blast at Bikini the atomic bombs produce lin gering radioactivity that is high ly dangerous. The representatives from seven states attending the week-long clinic at the University of Utah are being instructed in atomic bomb injury treatment so they can pass their newly-gained knowledge on to colleagues in their home areas.

S. shores completely unde tected. He pointed out that even the conventionally-powered Russian subs "can make a round-trip to the west coast, deliver guided missiles and return without re fueling." Lockwood's remarks were pro voked by the sighting of "un identified" underseas craft off the California-Oregon coastline during the past three months. The first "official" sighting of an unidentified periscope by a navy patrol plane last week caused a four-day chase by the destroyer Colahan, with this cor respondent aboard. The Colahan made several contacts on its radar and sonar screens, but no submarines were sighted. MONEY SAVING VALUES! We Have Limited Quantities Of These Items Left At Drastically Reduced Prices!

It would have virtually unlimited cruising range and would surface only to "change crews and replenish tor pedoes or other weapons. Lockwood said he believes the United States is working on atomic propulsion for subma rines at New London, Conn., and that a contract for the atomic pile to run the engine was award ed six months ago to Westing-house- "The Soviets have the scien tists and the atomic knowledge to build an atomic-powered sub marine. There is no reason to think they are not building one or racing us to build one," he declared. The Admiral, a veteran of 21 years in the submarine service, said the Russians captured the Gorman Mark 21 sub. which the modern Snorkle boat. The United States also has it. Proved Too Costly "I don't know how far the Russians have progressed with more modern subs than the Mark 21 . . . probably they have by passed experiments with the hydrogen-peroxide engine for atomic work. Lockwood pointed out that the hydrogen-peroxide powered sub marine is the German Mark 26 and has proved "too costly" to operate. Announcing - New Location Earl B.
