It', not much harder to make it fly. There u nothing mysterious about it. Any boy who huilds model plinei can put a flyahle s.ucer together in a couple of hour.. It took little invention on the part of the "flying naucer department" of the Lock Haven, Pi Express but on a recent afternoon a naucer flew over central Pennsylvania. It caused quite a stir and traffic was snarled on Main street. Here' show it's tone: Go to a shop where model planes are sold. Buy a dozen or so four foot lengths of quarter inch balsa wood strips. Pick up a few tubes of airplane cement. At a grocery atore purchase two or three rolls of aluminum foil. Get a hall of kite airing at the dime store and a box ci balloons. Before setting to work order a tank of helium. Most wholesale aupply houses carry it. Then follow these inatructioni and you'll have 1 flying aaucer. Lay out a circle of balsa strips on the carpet. Secure the ends togeth er with string and cement. Now re. iriforce the circle with a couple of crosa aectiona of balsa. Repeat the process and you have the top and bottom of your aaucer.

Use cellophane tape to secure the seams. Then fill the ballons with helium, placing them between the two circles like the meat in a sandwich. Vou'll need someone to hold down the top side or it will lift to the ceiling. Don't make the circle larger thin the front door or ynu won't be able to ?et it outside. Keep the balloons inside the two circular sides by lashing the top and bottom together with string. You are now ready to go into the flying saucer business. Get your friends to help carry the frame work outside. You will find it has a strong urge to rise because of the balloons. Re sure you pick a sunny day. You want that alumi num foil to glislen. They say that's what a saucer does. Make sure there are no trees or telephone wires nearby then let her go and it will rise into the sky Once the homemade disc is up a frw hundred feet or so and moves with the wind, you can't tell the difference from a genuine article. This should settle the flying sau cer problem for all time, don't you think?

KRNR SUNDAY OCT. 29th Ftdtral Budejot Cuts To Hit Hospital Plans PORTLAND tm Federal budget cuts probably will hit Ore gon's hospital-builrttltg program hard this year. George Shiffer, director of the hospitals section for the state board of health, said yesterday that federal cuts of SO percent in hospital aid funds would mean Oregon would have only S7.VI.0O0 instead of SI .500.000 for additions and new hospitals. The state board of health now will have to revise lis program, selecting the hospitals that will share in the remaining funds, Shif ter said. He said he expected New port and Gold Beach to be high on any priority list, because of the need for hospitals in those areas. ! Newport had been scheduled to 1 get S53.a8 and Gold Beach S40.000. i Others whose plans may be re vised include :Salem General hos- pilal, 1270,000; Good Samaritan at Corvallis, 188,933; Lebanon Com- i munity hospital, acheduled to get JIM, 000 this year and $68,667 next ! year. Shiffer said he believed Salem I would heve slightly higher priority U.an others in this list 14 TV Stations Being Sought In Northwest WASHINGTON P When the Federal Communications com mission gets around to lifting the ban on new television statinn.a 14 Oregon and Washington application will be up for discussion.

Uncle Contends Niece Contradicts In Beating Trial SA.V FRANCISCO IIP) Mary Mclntyre, 25-year-old victim of a June 4 hammer beating, has con tradicted herself, her uncle', de fense lawyer contended yesterday. There are at least two discrep ancies in the story told by the former Vancouver, B. C, adver tising career woman, counsel for Douglas Carapata told superior court jury. i Carapata, middle-aged Saa! Francisco egg salesman and real , estate owner, is accused of as saulting hi. niec with intent to kill. One contradiction, .aid lawyer Emmet Hagerty, ia based on Miss Mclntyre's grand jury tes timony that her uncle visited her alone at 2 a. m., the morning of the beating. Yet, he added, on the stand she told of Cara pata being in company of circus announcer Jack Klein. Also, said Hagerty, Mis. Mc lntyre told the doctor who tre.ted her that the beating came when she awoke to find a .tr.nger standing over her. On the stand the gtrl said her uncle struck the blow, the defense lawyer as serted. The trial was in recess until Monday morning, after three of the nine women on th jury yes terday told Judge Twin Michelson they had been threatened over th telephone. Michelson, after con ferring with the women, ..id "th consensus is that (the caller) i. a crackpot unconnected with th prosecution or defense. News Would Bet On Mayor Race NEW YORK -OP) The Daily News is willing to wager Democratic-Liberal candidate Ferdi nand Pecnra $10,000 that its may oralty poll is accurate but Pe cora says he is not a betting man. The newspaper', poll shows Pe cora far behind his independent opponent, acting Mayor Vincent lmpellitteri. In an editorial yesterday, the claim that three private polls ta ken by his hackers differ with that of the News. Backing it. own 22-year-old poll, the News said it would give $10,. 000 to any charity named by Pe cnra if any of his polls indicat ing victory for Pecora were cor rect. However, if Pecora lost, he would donate $10,000 to a number of charities. "We're, ready and eager to put up." said the News. "Will Judge Pecora do likewise or shut up?" Pet Skunk Takes Over !

Park ioo's pet skunk, "Sweet William," may be harmless, but you couldn't convince the Kukla, Fran and Ollie TV show staff or its audience of that last night Brought in from the 100 to visit the puppet show, Willie was lifted to the stage. Then nature called. The show's staff, some 12 per sons, reacted instinctively, disper sing hurriedly while Willie plac idly took possession of the stage with a national audince viewing the picture. The skunk's keeper, who knew the animal was harmless because he was deodorized, embarassedly picked up his charge and left. In full view of the TV audience, the mess was mopped up and six minutes later the puppeteers re turned to work. . , Rent Control Ideas Changes!

Last April, Mr. Truman asked i Congress in keen the controls until jobs in its lap. when it return, in June 30, 1951, anyway. Late in June Congres. thought otherwUe and decided to wipe out the controls or most of them sooner than Mr. Truman wanted. It passed a rent law which went into effect Jul,' 1 and said this: 1. All government rent control. would end Dec. 31, 1950 unless 2. The people of city or town, by referendum or vote of their governing body, like a city council, voted to keep them until June 30. 1951. For most of the country, unles. Congress in the meantime votes to keep them longer, control, will end Dec. 31. 1950. But sine Congres. voted in June th Korean fighting started. So did this countr.''. defense pro gram, with all that mean.. Industrie, are booming, worker, are needed, and in the meantime the government cracked down on new home building making it harder to buy. So the situation now i. not ex actly the same a. P. wa. in June. Bricker, for instance, said this on Oct. : New building had almost caught up with housing need, (in June) but the government crackdown on new building .ince the defense program started roll in may leave a shortage that will require rent ceilings. Government rent controls, which started early in the war, have con- tinned until now without a break although with some changes. In 1944 there were in, 000,000 unit. under rent control, the peek num - ber. At thi. moment there are only about one-half that number or 6.000.000 under control. Sine July 1, when the present law went into effect, about 184 communities with a total of about 1.750. 000 dwelling units have voted to continue federal control, for six months.
