"Buz' " crea tor, Roy Crane, spent much of last summer aboard aircraft car riers in the Atlantic getting the lowdown on Navy equipment and procedures before beginning a naval continuity in his strip. After several cruises Crane moved to the test pilot training center at Patunxet River. Md., to bone up on the newest experi mental equipment. In answer to a query about whether it was investigating the equipment described above, Nav al spokesmen replied: "The Navy is experimenting with wheel-less type aircraft such as the French are using and with the "flex-deck' concept of carrier flight decks now under test by the British. "However, all details concern ing the experiment are strictly classified " No concern over Crane's pic turization of the equipment was exhibited, since "the artist had re ceived prior clearance for all Navy material used in his strip.

She started making quilts before the Civil War and quit only a few years ago because of failing eyesight Moon Man Gets Warning About Traveling in Space ALBUQUREQUE, N. M. (INS) Space expert Lincoln La Paz is receiving a steady trickle of warn ings of possible dire consequences to come if man succeeds in pro jecting himself off the earth and into space. Ever since the famed meteor ologist received nation-wide pub licity for his satellite seeking ef forts, he's been receiving scores of letters advising him on every thing from visiting planet men to moon sickness. One 77-year-old woman wrote that "small men visitors" from another heavenly body had visit ed her Texas farm as far back as 1924. Well Educated She confided the two "well ed ucated'' small men landed in a sort of helicopter, spent the night, and explained that earthlings were most inferior to them in educational and scientific knowl edge. On completing their visit, the spacemen "pushed a button" and zoomed straight up in the air off the Texas plain. But they prom ised to return someday when hu summer and compete for state honors at the state fair. Still other sheepmen plan to attend the fat' lamb show at the municipal park in Junction City, Saturday. This event also starts at 10 a.m. man beings are better educated, the woman said. A California writer, who de scribed himself as a "relative, social, economic and financial scientist," warned Dr. LaPaz the world is headed for destruction, because it is controlled by only one sun. What we need, he explained, is another sun to make things on earth less "confusing." Another man suggested more research is needed on the effects of moonlight. Dangerous Moon He cited many "examples" of persons going insane as a result of sleeping in the direct rays of the moon. Dozens of the letters Dr. LaPai received warned of dire conse quences to come if man projected himself into space. The writers felt man should be content to re main a "human being" and stay on the face of the earth. As one woman put it: "We are still living under God's laws and powers and we'll stay that way no matter how smart men get." Dr. LaPaz recently came out strongly in favor of attempting to find a new satellite for the earth so that it might be used as a "space platform." Experts have speculated on the military value of such a platform which some day might be used as a rocket-launching base. V THE nonn If MA WORLD'S NEWEST ELECTRIC SHAVER!
