'Ball Of Fire1 Flashes
Across Southern Sky;
Question: What Was It?
(By The Atsoclated PreMl
A ball of fire flashhed across the
southern sky as the sun sank last
night, trailing a streamei of flame
and startling thousands.
Or did it? Was it just a speeding
plane with the sun's last red and
gold rays playing tricks with its
vapor rail? Was it a real ball of
fire, a meteor? Or was it could
it have been a flying saucer?
What direction did it travel?
take your choice: East to west or
south to east.
And where did it land? If it was
a jet plane, at El Paso, Tex.; if a
meteor, perhaps in the swamps of
Louisiana.
Or maybe there was a meteor as
Well 8S & jet,
Here are the known facts: A bril
liant light, variously described as
a fire ball and a fiery streak, was
seen from Montgomery, Ala., to
Kort Worth, Tex., at about 7:40 p.
m. (CST). A ship 350 miles at sea
from Galveston, Tex., saw it. A
similar flash was seen an hour
earlier at Natchez, Miss., and
about 20 minutes later at Abilene,
Tex. During this period a jet plane
' was whizzing over the south on a
course from Langley Field, Va.,
to El Paso.
Nevertheless, a Fort Worth
amateur astronomer who didn't
see the flash but painstakingly
tried to trace it said he would be
"almost willing to stake my repu
tation that it wasn't a jet plane
sighted tonight."
Phone Checks Mad
Astronomer Oscar Monnig said
he made telephone checks of the
fire ball's trajectory at Monroe
and Lake Charles, La., and at
Houston, Tex. All these, he said,
indicated that the phenomenon was
traveling southeast. Most reports
aid i was moving west,
"The meteor was the sort that
leaves a sustained dust trail us
ually visible for a radius of 300 to
350 miles," Monnig said. He fig
ured the appearance of the fiery
streak was caused by the sun's
reflection on the dust.
Because a Lake Charles radio
man sighted the object directly
overhead, Monnig assumed the
meteor "fell somewhere in the
swampy coastal country south of
Lake Charles." -
The weather bureau at Moisant
International airport in New Or
leans said there were theories that
the fire ball was either the tail-end
of a comet or the vapor trail ef a
high-flying aircraft.
At Abilene, a CAA communicator
talked to the westward-speeding
jet at the same time a brilliant
light flared there. He suggested it
probably was the Sun's reflection
on the plane.
But when Lt. "James Bryant of
Roswell, N. M., landed at El Paso's
Biggs air force base, he said all
the talk about weird lights in the
sky left him In the dark. Bryant
said he didn't see anything unus
ual between Langley and Biggs.
Presumably he would have been in
good spot to see a meteor, if any.
Bryant talked to a reporter only
after Biggs field had said informa
tion on the jet's flight was secret,
then switched signals.
Could Be Sun Reflection 1
The lieutenant didn't believe his
plane had left a vnpor trail as it
sped along at 340,000 feet. If it had,
he conceded, the sun's reflection
could have given a fiery Illusion.
Dr. David V. Guthrie, director of
the Louisiana State university
astronomical observatory, was sure
it was a meteor. But, like Monnig
he hadn't seen it. ' '
New Orleans weather observer
E. A. Aime, who did see it, wasn't
sure what he saw, Hn carefully re
ported the aircraft vapor trail tho:
ory, then said:
"It looked like something that
came from outside our atmosphere
(which reaches upward about 75
miles) and burned up In our at
mosphore
"It was the most brilliant and the
brightest meteor if it was
meteor I've ever seen. It looked
like a sky rocket."
Aime said 'It started out like a
shooting star a blue flash, and a
vapor trail appeared about five or
six minutes later."

and the CAA countered: "No fly
ing saucers are scheduled over
Monroe tonight.
At Austin, Tex., A. X. James, an
airlines agent, said he saw the
flash and "shimmering, it ap
r ared and disappeared like it was
going into another dimension," It
was "unearthly," he said.
So what was it?

Trygve Lie Hits
Back At Question
Of Commie Tag
LAKE SUCCESS. June 24 m
An angry Trygve Lie said last
night that a question about any
Communist affiliations he might
have had was "not a oroner"
query, uut ne added that he has
always been a member of the
Norwegian Labor party, which is
a Socialist, not a Communist
parly."
ine statement from the secre
tary-general of the United Nations
was issued three hours after he
failed to give a direct answer
when asked bv a newsDancr corrps-
pondent to state whether he is
or ever has been a Communist.
Lie s statement said he now is
"responsible to all the governments
ana an tne peonies of the Un ted
Nations and I do not and cannot
take part in partisan politics, na-
tinnnl ni intnrnatinnol '
"The only ideology I advocite
!s world peace and progress," the
statement declared.
Earlier Lie told his questioner,
correspondent Chcsley Manly of the
Chicago Tribune, to seek his in
formation from Norway's prime
minister or the head of his coun
try's Conservative party.
"I Ihink there should be some
respect for my integrity," Lie said.
Lie's associates quickly said af
ter the press conference that the
secretary-general is not and never
has been a Communist.
Manly had called attention to
charges recently by several mem
bers of Congress, particularly Sen
ators Bridges (R-NH) and Know
land (R-Calif) that Lie is pro-Communist.

eastern edges of Lake Michigan at
the time.
Request Denied
He asked permission to descend

there was too much traffic at that

Turman Wilson
Tells Events In
Criminal Career
VANCOUVER. Wash.. June 24.
(Pi Turman Wilson, one of two
brothers charged with the kidnap
slaving of an 18-year-old girl, tes
tified Friday he had been "hound
ed" by police for more than two
years.
Prompted Dy questions ot At
torney Irvin Goodman, defending
him and his brother Utah, Turman
said from the witness stand that
police tried to force a confession
from him by threats and promises
after he was arrested in Sacra
mento, Calif., on the kidnap-murder
charge.
Turman said he was released
from the Oregon State penitentiary
on April 16, 1948, after serving
nearly six years on a rape convic
tion. A short time later, he said, he
was arrested on a robbery charge
in Portland. This later was reduced
to petty larceny and he was sen
tenced to six months in jail.
After his release, Turman testi
fied he was picked up and taken to
jail here, but that police refused
to tell him why he was arrested.
Later, he said, two officers from
legedly firing a gun at a Kalama
where he was charged with assault
with a dangerous weapon for al
legedly firing a gun at a Lalama
man. This charge was dismissed,
and Turman testified he was told
by a Kalama policeman that the
warrant had been signed at the
request of Vancouver police. -
Turman said he then was charged
with vagrancy but was acquitted.
Car theft charges brought against
him by Portland police also were
dropped, he said.
The witness testified that after
his arrest In Sacramento, Julian
Ullmer.' a Vancouver city detec
five, who went to the California
city to question him, told him that
his whole family would end up In
jail if he didn t confess.
Turman quoted Ullmer as saying
tnat ne would get off witn a seven
year sentence if he confessed. He
added that the detective told him
if he didn't confess before Sheriff
Earl Anderson and other officers
arrived in Sacramento he "wouldn't
recognize his own face and wouldn't
be able to confess to anyone."
The witness denied he had said
anything about the case while held
at Sacramento and had asked only
for an attorney.
Witnesses called Thursday did
not remember times and dates
clearly enough to prove an alibi
that the Wilson brothers were out
of this city, when Jo Ann, Dewey
was kidnapped March 19.
New Iron Lung
Invention Told
SAN FRANCISCO, June 24 -(IP)
Not breathing is a good treat
ment for chronic tuberculosis
Impossible? Not quite. A glori
fied iron lung that allows patients
to live without breathing has been
developed by Dr. Alvan L. Bar-
acn ot coiumma university s col
lege of physicians and surgeons.
Reporting on its use to the Amer
ican College of Chest Physicians
in San Francisco yesterday, h o
said in 19 out of 29 patients treated
TB had been arrested.
Unlike the ordinary iron lung,
the lung muscles are not kept in
motion. At rest, the damaged lung
tissues have a chance to heal
faster, said Dr. Barach.
The Barach machine which he
calls an immobilization chamber
supplies oxygen to the lungs by
maintaining the air pressure con
stant inside and outside the body.
Patients can breathe, but it is not
necessary.
He said the treatment probably
would aid less acute TB cases,
but the high cost of the expensive
machinery limits its use. Dr. Bar
ach estimated cost of the treat
ment at about $500 a month.

German Reds
Drop Claims
To Sudetenland
East Germany's Communist gov
ernment announced new conces
sions last night to a Soviet satel
lite neighbor. The Red regime re
nounced all claims on the Czech
Sudeten area.
Agreements signed in Prague by
Kussian zone Deputy 1'remier wai
ter Ulbricht and Czech Premier
Antonin Zapotocky also recognized
as "permanent and just" the post
war expulsion of 2,000,000 Germans
from the border area seized by
Hitler in 1938 and returned t o
Czechoslovakia after the war.
That was expected to bring s
protest wave from expelled Sud
eten Germans, at least from those
now in West Germsny. Contending
that they were "ruthlessly" driven
from their homes, they have been
campaigning to return to Czech
oslovakia.
The declaration by Ulbricht and
Zapotocky said East Germany and
Czechoslovakia "have no territor
ial claims on each .other nor -are
