Air Officer Trying To Prove He's Still Alive and Kicki Establishing a comfortable home and good living conditions ior his family is often the chore of a service man before embark ing for overseas duty. Seldom, though, Is it necessary to prove at the same time he is actually alive. But such is the case of Capt James McGuire of the Air Force, who brought his wife, Lois, and baby daughter, Julie Marie, here this week to rees tablish a Medford home before he leaves for Japan. The couple is expecting another child in June. They formerly lived at 10 Willamette avenue and are now making their home at 411 Oak street. Recalled Last Spring The McGuires lived here from 1949 to April, 1951, when he was recalled to service and they moved to Portland where he has been stationed with the 403rd Troop Carrier wing. Captain McGuire served in World War II as a first lieuten ant in the Pacific area, piloting a E-25 bomber on a mission from his Luzon island base to Hainan island to bomb Japanese cargo ships. On the mission a wing of the plane was badly damaged by enemy fire and he made a con trolled crash landing in the "wa ter, McGuire said today. Taken Prisoner McGuire and the plane's navi gator managed to get to the sur face after the plane sank, and they stayed afloat with the aid of floating bits of the plane. Later they were picked up by a Japa nese boat and were prisoners of war for five months. He was found in a Japanese hos pital in August, 1945, five months after being shot down off the island. In the meantime, for reasons of insurance and government decorations, he was declared dead, though this legality seemed to have no bearing on his recall to service last April. The Air Force considers him very much alive and Captain McGuire likewise. But tne rea tape to legalize the fact before he leaves again for overseas duty is proving a stickler.

I Badly Burned Child Undergoes Surgery In Portland Today Eva Mae Adams, "6, who was burned February - 24 while playing at the home of her par ents, at 137 Tripp street, under went surgery today at the Port land Doernbecher Memorial Hospital for Children, the first of a series of skin-graft opera tions she will undergo, her mother, Mrs. Carl Adams, said today. The child Is scheduled 'for four more grafts in the near fu ture but will need many more before being released from the hospital, her mother added. The girl was taken by a Mercy Flights plane March 2 to the Portland hospital. She will be 6 years old the day before Easter. When she was first admitted to the children's hospital the at tending physichm thought it would be a year, or possibly 10 months, before she would be well enough to return home. Since that time he .said he is "holding high hopes," that it will be much less, since her bums are responding well to treat ment, the mother said. Her phy sician here determined that Eva Mae suffered burns to about 40 per cent of her body, and now about 15 per cent of the burns have healed, she said. She suf fered third degree burns to her back and abdomen, according to Mrs. Adams. The mother finds it impos sible to be with the daughter in Portland since the couple has two other children to be cared for, Charles, a year older than Eva Mae. and Alice, a year younger. 1 Thursday.
