Child Born as
Mother Listens
To Radio Program
Oroville, Cal-, Apr. 7 U.PJ
A 17-year-old mother who gave
birth to a son without knowing
it while listening to a radio pro
gram about painless childbirth,
said today she was "feeling just
great."
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.
The trio, including Miss Sarah
E. Stout, 85, and Mrs. Alta Lash
ell, 83, of Denver, and Mrs. Eva
Collins, 81, of Emporia, Kan.,
took off last night for Honolulu
on a spur-of-the-moment deci
sion. They had planned to spend
their vacation in Phoenix, until
Ted Lashell of Denver, son of
the "middle sister," came back
from the islands a walking
chamber of commerce.
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.
We're going to take good
care of her," the three old ladies
said.
The two agencies got together
on civic auditorium and hospital
projects to select sites that strad
dle the Tennessee-Virginia state
line.

'A-Sub' Race
Atom Attacks
Bv Dwiaht Gtduldia
United Press Correspondent
Los Gatos. 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

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.
Production of broomcorn,
which increased sharply in 1944
when metals for carpet sweepers
and vacuum cleaners were
scarce, has resumed its pre-war
level. Oklahoma an'' Colorado
are the principal broomcorn
growing states.

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.

Admiral Says
The atomic-powered sub which
Lockwood called a "Jules Verne
weapon" or the dream submarine
of tomorrow, could run indefi
nitely under water. 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.
