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

Quarles said he felt "certain that
even the 3 per cent could have
phenomena or illusions if more
complete observational data had

Local Woman's Book On Coins
Points Up Bible Times History

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.
