It's National Exchange Week
At Stores After Christmas
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington, Dec. 28 U.R) This is National Exchange week.
It's the week when you take back the hobby horse that went
swayback and spilled junior and
"mama" or go to sleep like it was supposed to.
Oddly enough, the lines in front o the exchange counters in
Washington were not as long as
usual. On the first day after the!
stores reopened, anyway.
Storekeepers had the answer.
The advertised post - Christ
mas bargain sales where you
could get "Misses better suits
valued at $49.95 to $55 for $28;" j
"$448 to $498 north black musk
rat coats, federal tax included
for $269;" "boys' hooded mack
inaws valued from $7.95 to $8.95
for $5.99;" "$1.00 ties for 59
cents."
That sort of thing, they say,
took the minds off the carrying
back business.
In addition to the clearance
sales, the department store man
agers claimed that the exchange
situation has eased considerably
anyway since the war years.
During those years, people
trooped back because somebody
sent a pair of 9 14 sox that didn't
look good on a size 11 foot.
Purple pajamas that irritated a
blonde. Simply because sup
plies were slim.
A spokesman for Julius Gar
finckel & Co., said that the bulk
of exchanges these days is for
size "and we rarely have to give
back any money."
A clerk at one counter was
startled in the J. G. & Co., store
yesterday when a portly gent
in an ascot tie and spats wobbled
in lugging a neatly wrapped
package that obviously had not
been opened at all. He tried to
exchange . it at the lingerie
counter. He said he wanted to
trade it in "because the color
isn't right. But he didn't know
what color it was, or what was
in the package.
The clerk, with justification,
argued politely. The man finally
picked up his bundle and left
Blue-Blooded Pooches Bow
To Mongrels as Trick Dogs
By PATRICIA CLARY
Hollywood (U.R) Blue-blooded people having trouble getting
ahead on their own, and the same goes for blue-blooded dogs
The most successful dogs in this part of the country are mon
grels. Mongrels are the easiest dogs to train, trainer Henry East says.
They don't have a stack of old
family customs behind them.
"Pure-blooded dogs are so
keyed up as a result of super-1
careful breeding," East said, :
"that although they look pretty:
they're almost worthless for the
kind of work Rags and my other
movie dogs do."
This Cinderella dog is so smart,
i- East said, that the trainer does
n't have, to give him hand sig
nals; wiggling a finger is en
ough. ' "Uusually you give a dog a
big. generous wave," East ex
plained. "On a movie set that
might upset the camera. So I
trained Rags to recognize slight
finger motions."
Despite his brains, Rags has
been assigned the role of Moron
lea, which means just what it
sounds like it does, in Colin Mil
ler's "A Kiss for Corliss." And
not only does he have to act
stupid, but he has to dye his
hair.

Musgrave and
Mayor Differ
Although Alderman Walter
Musgrave could not agree with
Mayor Robert L. Elfsirom on
the mayor's opposition to the
mall plan of the capitol planning
commission, he commended the
mayor for the thoroughness of
his report and his bringing it to
the fore as an issue.
Musgrave favors the commis
sion's recommendation for ex
tension of the capitol zone north
to D street.
Mayor Elfstrom doubts the
wisdom of that, preferring a
zone more nearly square rather
than rectangular. The rectangle,
he told the council, would drive
a wedge between the Capitol
street business area and the
downtown area, and he believes
the tendency should be to unite
them.
The mayor also opposes the
closing of Chemeketa and Union
streets. Musgrave said a way
to get around that would be to
build underpasses beneath the
mail.
Most of the stores paged said
they had senators and congress
men coming back to trade in
gifts. One senator who would
just as soon his name didn't
come out, said he didn't have
much use for a fur-lined hunt
ing coat.
Me, I'm not exchanging my
pair of bedroom slippers that
light up in the middle of the
night, via phosphorus. You even
get a left and right on the shoes.
"His hair is the same color as
one of the girl's in the picture,"
East said. "They were afraid
they'd look too much alike."
So Rags showed up at the stu
dio makeup department each
morning at 7:45 a.m. and was
given a henna rinse. Many of the
other actors also were there dye
ing their hair.
Rags is rewarded for his
work each evening by three
quarters of a pound of red meat
mixed with kibble.
"I've got to keep him hungry
all day to keep him on his toes,"
East said. "If he has lunch, he
sleeps all afternoon."
Each time he's scheduled to
play a scene with an actor, he
visits with the actor the day be
fore. East claims Rags makes
friends easily and instantly rec
ognizes actors he previously has
worked with.
"He never forgets a smell,"
East explained.

Air Force Smashes Flying
Saucers; 'No Such Things' j
Washington. Dec. 28 iPi After checking up-on 375 rumors;
of weird and wondrous sights in
eluded that there aren't any "flying saucers."
It took two years, a special team from the USAFs science staff,
and helo from university consultants to track iown the rumors
of strange discs whizzing througr
the air.
Last night the air iorce saio.
"project flying saucer" the in
vestigation started by the air ma-;
teriel command at Wright base,:
D3yton, Ohio, on January 22,
1948 has been ordered ended
because there is nothing to show
that the reports were "not the
results of natural phenomena."
AH evidence, it added, points:
to three factors "misinterpreta
tion of various conventional ob
jects; a mild form of mass hys
teria; or hoaxes" as the origin
of the flying saucer reports
Under air force definition,
"various conventional objects"
include such things as meteors,
balloons, birds in flight or just
ordinary optical illusions.
The effect of last night's air
force announcement was to deny
a story appearing in the current
edition of the magazine "True."
The magazine said it had learned
that "a rocket authority station
ed at Wright field has told
'project saucer' personnel flatly
that the saucers are interplane
tary and that no other conclu
sion is possible."
The air force last spring sought
to shoot, down the flying disc
rumors with a long, detailed dis
eussion of the whole history of:
the rumors. It devoted a portion
of that report to explaining why
visitors weren t likely to
rive from other planets on space
ships.
Among other things, the re
port questioned the possibility of
the existence of men even on the
relatively near planet of Mars.iyears of investigation had cost.
Discount Claim Flying Saucers'
Space Ships of Outside Planet
New York, Dec. 28 A sensational claim that so-called "fly
ing saucers ' are space vehicles
controversy on the subject today.
The Air Force promptly discounted the claim. A spokesman
said: 1
"Air force studies of 'flying:
saucers lend no support to the:
view that they come from an
other planet."
The assertion that the flying
discs are real and that they are
used by visitors from another
planet was made by True maga
zine in an article it calls the
"most important true story we
have ever published."
It was written for the January
issue by Donald E. Keyhoe, a
former information chief for
the aeronautics branch of the
U. S. commerce department.
The magazine, saying its con
clusions were based on an eight
months investigation, stated:
"For the past 175 years, the
planet earth has been under sys
tematic close-range" examination
by living, intelligent observers
from another planet.
"The intensity of this obser
vation, and the frequency of the
visits to the earth's atmosphere,
by which it is being conducted,
have increased markedly in the
past two years."
The flying discs, Keyhoe
writes, vary "in no important
particular from well-developed
American plans for the explor
ation of space expected to come
to fruition within the next 50
years. There is reason to believe.
however, that some other race of
thinking beings is a matter of
two and a quarter centuries
ahead of us."
The article says that "project
saucer," operated by U. S. army
air force investigators and
charged with solving the mys
tery, "are receiving and evalu
ating" reports of sighted flying

able to build space ships.
The people who said they saw
flying saucers varied widely.
Some were housewives. A busi
nessman back in June, 1847,
thought he saw one while fly
ing his private plane near Ml.
Rainier, Wash. Other airmen
began telling about odd-shaped
"aircraft" moving at fantastic
speeds, or curious lights and
discs. So the air force moved
in to run down the rumors
Whatever these people saw, it

he was following the object and
would abandon chase at 20.000-j

any closer.
His body was found in the
wreckage of his plane later in
the day. The air force conclud
ed he had collapsed from lack of
oxygen when he reached 20,000
leet and his plane had gone down
out of control.

Air force officials said today
they were unable to estimate
immediately how much the two

discs at the rate of 12 a month.
True learned, Keyhoe says,
that a rocket authority sta
tioned at Wright field has toid

that the saucers are interplan
etary and that no other conclus
ion is possible.

guided missile consultants, aero
medical men and other special
ists work on a hush-hush basis.
Keyhoe said.
The magazine says the inter
planetary vehicles have been
identified and categorized as
three main types a small, non-
piiot carrying disc-shaped air
craft equipped with some form
of television or impulse trans
mitter; a metallic disc-shaped
aircraft operating on a helicopter
principle, and a dirigmie-shaped
wingless aircraft.
It is the opinion of True,
the article states, "that the fly
ing saucers are real andthatthey
come from no enemy on earth.
II is also True's opinion that the
air forces and project saucer are
doing a serious important job to
safeguard American security."
