* is no doubt in my mind these ob- ‘Flying Saucer’ Reports Are Around Again By VERN HAUGLAND AP Aviation Reporter WASHINGTON ® — A spokes- man today termed without basis an assertion that the Air Force has recovered hunks of “flying saucers and just isn’t telling the public about them. é The Air Force position, he said, is that “given enough factual data” every “flying saucer’ te- port over the last six years could be explained in natural, earthly, nonsensational terms. “We don’t think the so-called saucers come from outer space or from a foreign government,” the spokesman said. Bill Nash, a Pan American World Airways pilot, told the Greater Miami Aviation Assn. re- cently he was convinced that “the Air Force has collected hardware from outer space.” “I do not believe the Air Force cares to make all its findings pub- lic so long as the United States is threatened by unfriendly powers,” Nash said. Nash was quoted as having re- ported sighting unidentified ob- jects while flying from New York to Miami on a date not specified. He said he and his crew saw six objects, later joined by two others, and the lights from them were “20 times brighter than those of Norfolk and Newport News,” Va., near where the alleged sight- ing was made. “From their maneuvers, there jects were controlled by intelligent beings,” he said. “When you have seen them, you realize they were not made on this planet.” The Pentagon officer currently handling “saucer” queries said that to date more than 80 per cent of the sightings — both visual and by radar — have been identified as of known objects. He said from 10 to 15 per cent have been out- right hoaxes. “The others probably could be|, explained if our knowledge of physics was greater,” he said. “There are many things about the THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Tuesday, March 23, 1954 WASHINGTON, w — A nation- wide civil defense exercise, fea- turing mock atomic attacks on 42 selected critical target areas, was announced for June 14-15 by the Civil Defense Administration to- day. “Operation Alert,” designed to disclose weaknesses and improve efficiency of civil defense organi- zations at all levels, will involve all 48 states, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Alaska and the 10 provinces of Canada. MEMPHIS, Tenn, (—The twin daughters of Mr. and Mrs, E. L. Yarbrough were born on different days and have birthplaces nearly 100 miles apart. The first daughter was born late Saturday at the Yarbrough home in Alamo, Tenn. Complications de- veloped and Mrs. Yarbrough was sped to a Memphis hospital where her second daughter arrived yes- terday. WASHINGTON, — President Eisenhower was enrolled today in the Grand Order of the Cross of the Holy Sepulchre by Archbishop Michael of the Greek Orthodox Church of North and South Amer- ica. The archbishop said the cross was bestowed ‘tin grateful recogni- tion” of Eisenhower's efforts ‘“to- ward world freedom, justice and peace, and for his benevolence to- ward the holy order of the church and Hellenism throughout the world.” PHILADELPHIA, ®—Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell told a national television audience last night, “We are approaching a leveling off period” in unemploy- ment. “In the fall,” he said, “I believe we will have less unemployment than we have today. Unemploy- ment may rise slightly in March and April but we are approaching a leveling off period.” ROME, (®—Riot police broke up a student demonstration today de- manding the return of Trieste to Italy. About 100 of the youths were sky that science still doesn’t un- derstand.” Marines Conclude Amphib Maneuver TWO JIMA — The. s. 3rd Marine Division todayffconcluded the major part of big “new look” amphibious manéuver cover- ing atomic warfare problems. The 20,000°men of the division ran through their paces and their commander, Maj. Gen. Robert H. Pepper said, “It stands to reason, if we have any new weapons we would certainly make use of them.” The amphibious landing which began Sunday was obviously tail- ored with one tactical eye on the possbility that landings of the fu- ture face atomic weapons, Pre- liminary bombardment and beach clearing was trimmed and com- pressed to obtain as much surprise as possible. There were no simu- lated atomic explosions, however. STATE SCHOOL SUPER (Continued from Page One) high school where Bailey will be honored with a reception.

EGYPT READY TO NEGOTIATE WITH BRITISH ON CANAL CAIRO, Egypt (B—President Mo- hamed Naguib said today Egypt is Prepared to resume negotiations with Britain on the Suez Canal base “only if Britain admits out rights without question.” The president was commenting to newsmen on British Foreign Sec- retary Anthony Eden’s statement in the House of Commons yester- day. Eden had said that violence in the Suez Canal area created a difficult atmosphere for the re- sumption of talks between Britain and Egypt, stalemated since last October.

Among higher stocks were Boe- ing, Republic Aviation, Douglas Aircraft, Goodrich, American Tele- phone, General Electric, U.S. Gyp- sum, and Packard.

The clash yesterday was the hardest fighting reported in a week from the besieged fortress in northwest Indochina but nowhere near on the scale of the initial all- out onslaught in which the French claimed they killed 3,000 of the Communist-led rebels and wound- ed another 9,000. The French army commander here said the rebtls attacked on the road linking tne heart of the Dien Bien Phu fo:tifications with the southernmost sutpost of the French-held. plain. The Vietminh made a bold ef- fort to wipe out a French Union battalion moving from the center of the fortress to join another bat- talion coming up from the south. French tanks and mobile units joined the infantry and artillery Only patrol actions have been since the rebels broke off of the seven-year Indochina war— late last Tuesday. But the Viet- minh, dug into the hills ringing the dusty plain of Dien Bien Phu, continued ceaseless artillery bom- bardment of the fortress. The rebels, meanwhile, stepped up harassing guerrilla attacks on vital French lines of communica- tions in the Red River delta in an obvious effort to divert attention from their feverish preparations for new mass assaults on Dien Bien Phu.

Vic Vet says JOHNS FAVORS (Continued from Page One) oi in untested quantities at the edge of the park, but they didn’t discuss the potentialities. Most of the opposition to ex- tending the park’s boundaries came from owners of land in the area proposed for immediate pur- chase by condemnation or negotia- tion and addition to the park on} the Gulf Coast and from interests in the Miami-Homestead area on| the other side of the park. | They argued the park is big enough—even too big—already. j Nothing New They said the West Coast ex- pansion area contains no attraction that can’t be found elsewhere in| the park, that the public will lose hunting grounds, counties will lose | taxable lands and have to increase | other property taxes, and the state will need the land in the future | for agriculture and residential de- velopment. Holland recalled the state didn’t give up its right to the oil, but just the right to lease, on the 425,- 000 acres it donated. He added he felt confident that if the nation needs oil in the future tapping of reserves in national parks will be permitted, but he saw no reason for exploiting them pow when “‘oil is a drug on the market.” Everglades is the only park on which oil drilling is allowed. That is because much of the area was under lease when the park was established, Holland said “the state was the aggressor” in many of the negotia- tions to get the park established and it knew it was giving up its oil leasing rights to get the park created. He said he would cooperate in getting congressional authority for the state to reserve oil rights on any lands acquired in the future. Much of the land already is under oil lease. ~ Wirth, while emphasizing the tourist business was considered only a “by-product” of a national park set up to preserve unique territories, said the Everglades Park’s 206,000 visitors brovght four to six million dollars in spending money to the state last year and “that’s just the beginning.” He told Johns the park service has no plans for a road through the park to link up the east and west coast sections but it did need | the 271,000 acre northwestern ad-| dition to round out the attractions | and make possible an inland water route from the West Coast to the east.

Jugged On Assault Charge After Clubbing Two Men Because he belted two men with | a two-foot piece of two-by-six Leo | Womeck, 30, was in the county | jail today, charged with assault and battery. According to the sheriff's de- Partment, this is how it happened. Womeck and Myles Rudolph, 37, argued in Rudolph’s house at Ma- rathon. Womeck bit Rudolph about the chest and throat and then ‘hit him across the lower part of the face with the two-by-six. As Womeck rushed from the house, James Davis, 38, tried to stop him and was knocked uncons- cious by a blow over the right eye with the same two-by-six. The Monroe General Hospital to- day reported Davis’ condition as satisfactory. Rudolph was treated and released. on a disorderly conduct charge in connection with the case. Womeck faces a hearing Friday in Marathon on the assault and bat-| tery charge in connection with Ru- dolph, Although the Ice Age continued for about a million years, the per- iods during this time when ice covered large portions of the earth were short compared to those in which the earth’s climate was rel- atively warm. a FURNITURE SPECIALS Platform Rockers .
