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.

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
