Air Force Making Weird Things Which May Look Like Saucers, But Aren't By ELTON C. FAY WASHINGTON W The Air Force, busy for seven years trving to scotch legends about Hying sau cers, wants the public to know those weird looking aircraft which folks will see soon won't really be saucers. They just look and act some thing like 'em. The Air Force recently issued what has become a sort of annual report on the flying saucer situa tion, saying again it has found no evidence of flying saucers. But this time it attached to the new and voluminous (316) report a statement by Secretary Donald A. Quarles. It said some aircraft of novel form are coming along but there will be nothing "supra natural or mysterious", about them. One will be the vertical-rising, Grade A Factory Milk Production Costs About Same Efficient management and high producing cows are keeping Ore gon Grade A milk production costs about the same per hundredweight as for factory milk costs on farms surveyed by Oregon State College. Feed costs were not included in the study designed to focus on such items as building and equip ment investments, labor require ments, and other production costs normally presumed to vary wide ly between Grade A and factory milk farms. D. Curtis JIumford, OSC agri cultural economist, studied 23 Grade A farm in the Willamette Valley and Tillamook County and 31 factory milk farms in Tilla mook County. Findings are report ed in an OSC experiment station bulletin. "Quality .Milk Does It Cost More To Produce?" Copies can be obtained from local county extension offices or the OSC bulle tin clerk. Grade A dairymen generally had higher investments in cows, equip ment, buildings and labor than did factory dairymen. Grade A building values were double those of buildings owned by factory milk produccers. Even though costs per cow on Grade A farms were greater, Mumford says higher producing cows and better "diarying' kept weight of milk close to those -of factory farms. Although high quality milk was generally related to high quality buildings, the study showed excep tions. Dairymen on some fac tory milk farms were selling milk that was actually of Grade A qual ity on the basis of bacteria count. The bulletin gives detailed re ports of production costs, descrip tion of farms studied, seasonal milk flow and a section of how the research was conducted. jet powered experimental plane now at t-uwards Air force Base, Calif., test center for jet aircraft. The Navy already has flown a similar aircraft, the Convair VTO, but this is powered with a conven tional propeller. Another strange plane, still in designed stage, is being developed Dy me Canadian lirm ot Avro, Ltd., which has a contract with the U.S. Air Force. This design, Quarles said, "could result in a disc - shaped aircraft somewhat similar to the popular concept of a flying saucer." Avro officials have insisted their product isn't a flying saucer, Gas exhausted through a system of ducts would spin an outer rim of the disc to orooel the aircraft ver tically into the air; the gas blast then would be diverted from the disk and to the rear to provide torward thrust, like any jet plane. The air secretary also said, pre sumably with allusion to reports of Soviet saucers, that "we must recognize other countries also have the capability of developing vertical-rising aircraft, perhaps, of unconventional shapes. But, he insisted, "we are satisfied at this time that none of the sightings of so-called 'f vine saucers reported in this country were in fact air craft of foreign origin." The Air Force told of investiga tions of 4,834 reports of sightings of "unidentitied 1 1 y l n g ODjecis (UFO) since 1947. Part of the new report contains a summary for the January-May period of this year, when the Air Force received 131 UFO reports. It said evaluation of the 131 re counted for 26 per cent: planes 21 per cent; stars, meteors and other astronomical objects a per cem; "other" mirages, kites, fireworks contrails of high-flying planes 20 per cent. Insufficient information on. wnicn to mane evaluation i; unknown 3 Der cent. Quarles said he felt "certain that even the 3 per cent could have phenomena or illusions if more complete observational data had Been avauaoie. Chicago Police Question Suspects In Triple Killing CHICAGO (JV Two men seized in an abandoned Wisconsin farm' house voluntarily took lie detector tests Wednesday for police seeking a solution to the strangulation deaths of three school boys. The men, Ed Kline, 30, and Charles Driscoll, 19, were seized Monday night at Ladysnuth, Wis. and returned to Chicago. Frank Fcrlic, assistant state's attorney, said each told a different story during preliminary question' ing in Wisconsin. The victims were Robert Peter son, 14, John Schuessler, 13, and his 11-year-old brother, Anton. Their naked and battered bodies were found Oct. 18, two days after they disappeared. fiototjttl, New '". ' 4 lovely Moderntone Colors: Burgundy.

ENDS SPECULATION Princess Margaret announced in London that "I would like it to be known that I have decided not to marry Group Capt. Peter Townsend." She is shown here looking very glum as she drove from Clarence House late last week for a 50-minute private talk with the Arch bishop of Canterbury a discussion that apparently had a major bearing on her decision not to marry Townsend. By CHARLES V. STANTON A unique contribution to the un- derstanding of biblical history is to be found in a new book "Coins of Bible Days" (The MacMillan Co. $4.50) by Florence Aiken Banks of Roseburg. By linking coins of Bible times with the history of those days, Mrs. Banks has succeeded through her book in making many Bible stories far more interesting and understandable. For more than 25 years she has been a collector of coins from Bi ble times and places. These coins often have been used locally in Bible School lessons, and were used by Mrs. Banks for a number of articles in magazines for coin collectors and for illustrative pur poses in a published series of Bi ble lessons. In her latest literary work she has compiled, re-edited and added to the material pro ducing a most valuable aid for Bi ble students and a volume of ex ceeding interest to anyone inter ested in numismatics. A former teacher in Oregon and Roseburg schools, Mrs. Banks has i been a prolific and versatile au-1 thor. Several ot her books are used as texts in schools through out the nation. She has written many children's stories and much poetry. From extensive biblical re search, she has written several books highly valued by Bible stu dents. "Coins of Bible Days" will be an important supplement to that series. The new book is profusely illus trated, the pictures having been made from the aulhor's large col lection. The coins themselves are kept in bank vaults, being too val uable to risk loss at home. Each, however, has been photographed and from the enlarged picture more of the actual detail is avail able to the student than from the coin itself. The new book now is being dis tributed by the publishing com pany to booksellers. CHURCH INCORPORATES SALEM tm New corporations Wednesday: Dillard-Winston Methodist Church, Dillard. C. C.
