       morning to the effect that their son, WESLEY

       also reported as missing.
         The telegram stated that GRAHAM was missing
       following action in Pearl Harbor while on duty
       in the service of the U.S. Navy. GRAHAM, who
       is 21 years old, enlisted in the regular navy
       in June, 1940.
         WESLEY'S younger brother, ERNEST O. GRAHAM,
       who had been stationed on the same ship with
       him in Hawaii until recently, arrived home
       last night on a 10-day furlough from his
       duties in the Navy. ERNEST was transferred
       before the Japanese attack on December 7.
