WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22, 1950 THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON Army Checks Latest Flying Saucer Story Memphis, Tenn., March 22 Ul'i The nir force, official debunker of flying saucer stories, appar ently was interested in the new est one today. So was Mrs, Elea. nor Roosevelt. Capt. Jack Adams and First of ficer G. W. Anderson, uirline pi lots who saw a strange object flying over Arkansas Monduy night, said they had been notified that air force intelligence wanted to talk with them. Adams said the report came from Little Rock, Ark., and they will find out more about it on the next flight there. He said he pre sumed an intelligence officer would contact him for a routine interview. Adams and Anderson were fly ing a Chicago & Southern Airlines plane from Memphis to Shreve port, La., where they spotted the flying disc over Stuttgart, Ark. They gave perhaps the most de tailed description yet offered of a mysterious disc in the sky, Adams and Anderson believed the one they saw was a secret experimental type aircraft. "We are certain this was no meteor," they said. "It was an aircraft in controlled flight, trav eling at a terrific speed. It was not a jet plane." They said the "s t r a n g e s t, strongest blue-wmte light we ve ever seen" blinked very rapidly on top of the object. Meanwhile, NBC announced in New York that Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt has invited Adams and Anderson to appear on her tele vision show Sunday. They plan to build a model of the saucer to display on the program, the net. work said.

Bond at Oregon zrs Phone 1595 Mistaken Fear Ends in Suicide Cushing, Okla March 22 HP) A terror-stricken Russian immi grant hanged himself because he thought he heard his name men tioned several times in radio newscasts about the deportation of Valentin Gubitchev, authorities said today. The body of Jackin Saij, 37, was found dangling from a wood en beam in the garage of W. L. Simon on the outskirts of Cush ing yesterday. Simon had brought Saij, pro nounced "Sigh," to Cushing re cently. With him came his wife, Prowska, 32, whom he married in a German displaced person s camp three years ago. They had been working as serv. ants at Simon's house. Mrs. George Larrimore, a neighbor who speaks Russian and who befriended the couple, told authorities that Saij's eight years in German prisoner of war and DP camps had made him distrust ful ol police. Listened to Radio Two weeks ago Saij saw a radio" in a church and since had been listening to news broadcasts to "learn the truth." He followed accounts of the Gubitchev-Judith Coplon espion age trial with intense interest, although he spoke only a few words of English, Mrs. Larrimore said. Sail became unduly alarmed every time he thought he heard his name mentioned in tne i,unit chev broadcasts, but the often re peated word which struck terror in his heart was "spy." A physician called Mrs. Larri more in to console them. Saij became apprehensive last week when he saw the Simons packing to go on a fishing tour, and Mrs. Larrimore argued with the couple for 45 minutes to con vince them that the Simons were not "fleeing the gestapo." Since that time the Saijs had become increasingly moody. When Mrs. Saij was told that her husband had committed sui cide, she asked for a decent durial for his body. "Please do not throw him naked into a trench," she pleaded. Her tearful plea "send the FBI ! after me" in a coast-to-coast tele phone call to a sister last night led police to a highway court where they found the girl, Flor ence "Sally" Horner, and Frank La Salle, 56, who is under Indict ment by a Camden grand jury for her abduction. Sally, a husky, honey-haired schoolgirl, had been missing since June 14, 1948 when her widowed mother kissed her goodbye and put her aboard an Atlantic City, N. J., bound bus with a man who posed as the father of two of Sally's schoolmates with whom she was to spend her vacation. Child Found Alone Police said Sally slipped away from the trailer in which she and LaSalle arrived here and tried to telephone her mother yesterday. But Mrs. Horner had her phone disconnected two months ago wnen she lost her job as a seam stress in a Camden garment fac tory. Sally then gave the long dis tance operator the number of her older- sister, Mrs. Susan Panara, at Beverly, N. J. "Send the FBI after me, please," Sally sobbed into the phone. "Tell mother I'm okay and don't worry. I want to come home. I've been afraid to call be fore." The sheriff's office of Santa Clara county, Calif., was notified and FBI agents and sheriff's deputies sped to the motor court where they found Sally alone. La Salle was away on a shopping trip. "Please get me away from here before he gets back from town," the girl begged her rescuers, She was taken to the county detention home for juveniles where she un derwent a medicaf examination. LaSalle was arrested when he returned to the trailer camp on a bus. attended the state basketball tour-1 whose birthday anniversaries oc- nament in Eugene over the week I cur in the first quarter of the end.
