Flying Saucers?
Aren't Any, Navy
Probe Discloses
WASHINGTON. UP) After
checking up on 375 rumors of
weird and wondrous sights in the
sky, the Air Force has concluded
that there aren't any "flying saucers."
. It took two years, a special
team from the USAF's science
staff, and help from . university
consultants to trace down the
rumors of strange discs whizzing
Wrought the air.
The Air Force savs ."project
flying saucer" the investigation
started by the air mateiral com
mand at Wright base, Dayton
Ohio, on January 22, 1948 has
Deen ordered ended because
there is nothing to show that the
repoiv were "not the results of
natural phenomena."
All evidence, it added, points
to three factors "misinterpreta
tion of various conventional ob
jects; a mild form of mass hys
teria: or hoaxes as the origin
of the flying saucer reports.
under air iorce aennition,
"various conventional objects"
include such things as meteors,
balloons, birds in flight or just
ordinary optical ' illusions.
The effect of the Air Force an
nouncement was to deny a story
appearing in the current edition
of the magazine "True." The mag
azine said it nad learned mat
"a rocket authority stationed at
Wright field has told 'projct
saucer' personnel flatly that the
saucers are Interplanetary and
that no other conclusion is possible.",
Old Ft. Stevens
Now Owned By
City Of Hammond
ASTORIA m Historic Fort
Stevens, whose parade ground
echoed to the tread of soldiers in
the days of the Indian wars and
along whose beach Japanese
shells burst in 1942, belongs to th
city of Hammond and the school
district. ,";'!
'Formal transfer papers have
boen received, Mayor Merton Ol
ney of Hamrnon said.
The two local governments get
the 155-acre hub of the old fort
whose greatest claim to fame was
the firing incident in 1942 when a
Japanese sub surfaced and turn
ed its guns on the fort. There
was no damage, but since it was
the first continental army post
brought under enemy fire sjnce
the war of 1812, it created in
tense excitement.
The fort's old guns did not fire
back: Sen. Rufus Holman said
it was because they wouldn't
shoot far enough and that, in
the security-conscious days of the
war, stirred up more talk on
coastal defenses.
The city has 10 years In which
to -pay the federal government
$51,000 for its property. The
school district pays only $308 and
gets the parade ground, ball
park, barracks, nurses' quarters,
an old officers club and one du-
But the Federal Reserve board
reports that more people put
more things on the cuff this year
than ever oefore. Even before the
Christmas buying rush, install
ment credit was at record peaks.
And the large sales which stores
report for home appliances, tele
vision sets, refrigerators, wash
ers, radios, this month forecast
another sharp rise in the total of
buying on time, wnen tne iinai
pre-Christmas sales figures are
gathered and analyzed. :
Two Contributors -
Two things contributed to the
pre-Christmas rush of install
ment buying: First, the generally
higher degree of confidence in
the business future; and, second,
the $2.8 billion that veterans ex
pect to be getting in he next
couple of months from Insurance
refunds.
Americans owe more. than $17
billion on goods they are using
on credit. More than $10 billion
of that is for goods they are buy
ing on time. These range from
the familv automobile to the
stenographer's winter toat, with
cars accounting lor $J Diuion oi ic
The present consumer credit of
$17 billion compares with $71 bil
lion at tne time ol tne itua iinan
cial crash.
Not Dangerous
Those dealing in consumer
credit which includes charge ac
counts In the stores, service credit,
and single payment loans at loan
companies, as well as installment
credit say the total is not dan
gerous, because of the similar
growth since 1929 in national in
come, personal savings, and
wages and salaries. The popula
tion nas grown, too, ana tne cen
sus bureau now estimates it at
more than 150 million. Every
thing is bigger and better in
cluding your debts.
Commerce Secretary Sawyer
reports national income at $222
billion for 1949 as a whole, and
personal Income at $212 billion.
In the record year of 1948 na
tional income stood at $226 bil
lion, and personal income hit its
all-time peaK ol &in Dinion in
December, 1948. Both have de
clined in 1949. but consumer
credit totals kept climbing since
the federal Reserve boards au
thority to curb them was dropped
by congress last June.
Consumer Spending Down
Consumer expenditures 'as a
whole have also dropped $21 bil
lion from a year ago, so that the
continuing growth of consumer
credit means an ever larger per
centage of purchases are being
made on the cuff.
The Federal Reserve board ex
pects easier Installment credit
terms to be offered by producers
and merchants in 1950, and it
thinks there wlfl be more money
In circulation next year than this.
The board brings the matter up
at this time because it is expected
to ask congress to reinstate the
board's control over consumer
credit. .
You had a marvelous Christmas
this time let's hope that paying
for it isn't too painful.

Deficit Spending
Major Issue For
Congress Session
WASHINGTON () - Return
ing lawmakers have chalked up
red Ink spending as the top do
mestic issue in the new session
of Congress opening next week.
Democrats joined Republicans
in deploring a state of financial
affairs in which the government
will have to go on borrowing from
the people because its outgo is
bigger than its income from
taxes.
At that point, members of the
two major parties parted violent
ly In their comments.
Over many Democratic pro
tests, Republicans put the finger
on the Truman administration's
"fair deal" program as the cause
of the treasury's present finan
cial woes.
Senator Taft of Ohio, who
heads the Senate GOP Policy
committee, said even worse trou
bles are ahead if the Democrats
can push the Brannan farm sub
sidy payment through Congress.
In a weekly report to Ohio vot
ers, he -estimated that subsidies
under such a plan would run to
$6,000,000,000 yearly.
The scheme would guarantee
the farmer's Income on some per
ishable products, letting those
iroducts reach their own price
evel on the market. Under the
plan the consumer would benefit
from the lower prices.
"Since the farmer and the con
sumers are the taxpayers, they
would simply get a bill from the
government for the benefits they
are supposed to receive, plus a
sum added in to pay salaries to
several hundred thousand em
ployes required to administer the
plan," Taft said.
Some Democrats, Including
Senate majority leader Lucas of
Illinois, defended red ink spend
ing as a necessary measure to
insure world peace.
Lucas said the country is pros
perous and ridiculed Republican
leaders "who tell us we are on
he way to the poorhouse.
He predicted, howve"
military outlays will be cut $2,
000,000,000 In the next yeai- m .
that a $1,000,000,000 cut can be
made In Marshall Plan economic
aid to western Europe.
