Baby Bette Gay Is Taken Home From Hospital and Sleeps Well Bette Gay Bonbrest at her home this morning.—Star Staff Photo. Bette Gay Bonbrest, the infant who defied the laws of nature to arrive four months ahead of sched ule, slept last night in her own basket at home, her first night away from George Washington Univer sity Hospital, where she was born November 7. Still tiny—she weighed 26 H ounces at birth, weighs 5 pounds, 6'2 ounces now—Bette Gay is per fectly formed, with black hair, deep blue eyes and a smile. The baby slept well her first night, didn't cry a bit and had to be awakened for her feedings, which come every three hours. She gets dextrose maltose, canned milk and dried milk. It’s a complicated process, caring for such a fragile piece as Bette Gay. but her mother, Mrs. Leroy D. Bonbrest, wife of a Navy Yard employe, says she can take it. Bette Gay is never removed from her basket—even for her bath. The doctors have vetoed any handling at all. Her bath, an overall oiling, is a matter of slipping a pad under her and gently smoothing the oil first on one side, then on the other. As she gave Bette Gay her first bath at the Bonbrest home, 1144 Branch avenue S.E., today, Mrs. Bonbrest said, "I didn’t see how she could ever develop, but she's filled out just as pretty as can be." Bette Gay can't focus on objects yet, but she looks around when she hears any noise. She tugs at her hair like any normal baby and can be induced to smile with slight encouragement. When the Bonbrests brought their prize package home yesterday, their big son, Demrie, aged 2'2, had been sent to his grandmother's for the day on the promise that he would see his sister when he got home. Last night, Demrie rushed in the door shouting, "See Gay, see Gay.” He's been warned that if he bothers his small sister she'll have to go back to the hospital. To avert that, he tiptoes around and stands at a respectful distance to peek into the basket. Most of the time, he fl^ds his sister catching up on her sleep. War Paroles Mapped For Skilled Convicts By the Associated Press. Congress learned today that the Government may parole skilled workmen in Federal prisons for military service or defense work. Attorney General Biddle told a House Appropriations subcommit tee in testimony made public today that James V. Bennett, prisons di rector, and Army and Navy officials were working out details. Explaining the general plan, Ugo Carusi, Mr. Biddle's executive as sistant, remarked that “a youngster who may steal his first car or make a little liquor in the back yard would nevertheless make a good soldier.” Mr. Bennett said the department had established employment and placement directors in the larger institutions. Businesses "for the most part are willing to accept the men we recommend,” he added. The waiter, the porter and the up stairs maid have bought Defense bonds. How about you? Arnold Reveals Plots To Evade U. S. Policies Conspiracies to evade Govern ment policies as to contract dis tribution are increasing in number, Assistant Attorney General Thur man Arnold recently told a House subcommittee, it was disclosed in hearings on the Justice Depart ment appropriation bill, made pub lic today. "We find an increase in the cre ation of rings interested in Govern ment contracts,” he said. "To give you an example, I will refer to our hat Indictment. Here was a con tract made under O. P. Jkl. direc tion. We found out later that a group of manufacturers which formed the existing ring wanted to prevent anybody from breaking into it.” "The Government has a policy of letting other business convert to the war effort, but this ring keeps them out by the simple device of allocat ing the entire production between themselves, using the labor unions to help out, in order to wipe out anybody not within the ring.” Hague Munitions Depot Reported Blown Up* By the Associtted Pres*.

Equipment temporarily withdrawn for military use means . less available for the public. You may have to take an upper berth instead of a lower or a private room occasionally. You may have difficulty making reservations, due to over taxed telephone facilities. In coaches, you may even have to stand for short distances. Please accept these as "the fortunes of war."
