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.

Thil flying saucer business !i
Cover the circle frameworks with
aluminum foil. 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?

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

Marshal Tito's government bat

Brewster, chairman of the Re

procedure."
President Truman called in cab
inet chief, and federal finance
officers yesterday to discuss how
help can best be extended to Yu
goslavia. The President got a ;
progress report and the group will ,

High official, hee fe.r that j
food shortage following lb
drought might result in an upset
of th anti-cominform Tito gov

a true Soviet puppet state.
Tito has asked for $103,000,000
in help to stave off possible hun

additional legislation will be need

There are at least two discrep

Carapata, middle-aged Saa!

One contradiction, .aid lawyer
Emmet Hagerty, ia based on

alone at 2 a. m., the morning
of the beating. Yet, he added,
on the stand she told of Cara

Also, said Hagerty, Mis. Mc

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

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?"
