: Deputies Report Flying Disc
Seen Near Huge Army Post
"Monterey, Calit-- April 12 (U.R) An army intelligence agent
opened an investigation today into reports by sheriffs deputies
and others that they saw a flying "saucer" near the army's huge
fort Ord.
ti Deputies Ted Cross and Jim Matney, a former aerial gunner,
were questioned for more than a
half-hour by the agent regarding
the object they saw streaking
across the countryside near

The air force and other de

New Beast of
Prey Appears
Washington, April 12 (P) A
new beast of prey, cunning and
cruel, has appeared in the Adi
rondack mountains and in some
other widely-scattered areas of
the United States.
A coyote-dog hybrid, it is
swifter than one of its fore
bears, the dog, and even more
wary than the other, the keenly
intelligent coyote, says the fish
and wildlife service.
And it's more vicious than
either, the agency adds.
"We've run into the coyote
dog hybrid before," said Clif
ford C. Presnall, assistant chief
of the services predator con
trol division. "A few years ago
it became a menace in Kentucky
but we put on a control cam
paign and cleaned it out.
"But now, in the Adirondacks
it seems for the first time to have
become a fairly stabilized type
a type that has been breeding
ior several generations. Hunting
"techniques used against coyotes
in the thinly-populated west
cannot Safely be used in the
more heavily settled east."
In the west, the prolific coy
ote is kept in check by hard-
riding ranchers and forest ran
, gers who hunt him down from
the air in small planes, chase
him to earth with greyhounds
and fast horses or plant poison
pellets in the carcasses of dead
animals on which he might feed.
But even if these methods
could be u s e d in the- Adiron
dacks, government experts are
not sure they would work with
the coydog, d o y o t e, coyog or
whatever you want to call the
cross-breed.
Cross said today that he was
"convinced it came from another
world." The deputy added, "I
don't think anything on earth
could have caught it."
The two deputies were driving
between Monterey and Salinas
with Matron Barbara Harris and
prisoner when Cross spotted
the object "directly over the
highway." The time was 7 a.m.
PST.
"At first we thought it was f
morning star from its bright
ness," Cross said.
But we looked again and saw
it wasn't. It was a round ob
ject, about 30 feet in circum
ference and was traveling at a
high rate of speed. I'd say it
crossed the highway at an alti
tude of about 4,000 feet.
Then it stopped and began
spinning. After a minute, it left
in a northwesterly direction to
wards Fort Ord."
Fort Ord is a huge army reser
vation near Monterey. Part of
it lies alongside the Monterey-
Salinas highway.
A few minutes later, two dep
uties in the Castrovillle area
north of Fort Ord radioed they,
too, had seen the mysterious ob
ject. Later a Greyhound bus
driver reported seeing it near
Salinas.
Cross said the object appeared
to be "pretty heavy." He said
from the way it glittered in the
early morning sun it looked like
it was made of chromium or cast
aluminum.
"It gave of no smoke or va
por," he added.
The U. S. Air Force has stated
that its investigations of so-call
ed flying saucers show no basis
for the frequent reports of them.

State Game Commissioner
Answers Tompkins Attack
Portland. Ore.. April 12 (U.R) J. H. Van Winkle of Oregon City,
Member of the Oregon state game commission, today said state
Grange Master Morton Tompkins was "all wrong" in charging
that the state game Bulletin was printed and distriouted at
'public expense

Truman Banned from
Using Party Label
Jackson, Miss., April 12 VP)
Mississippi supporters of Presi
dent Truman are officially bann
ed from using the democratic
party name.
Acting Attorney General
George Ethridge advised Sec
retary of Stale Heber Ladner
yesterday that only one party
is entitled to use the word "dem
ocrat" in its title, and because
the states' rights democrats
registered first, he said pro
Truman democrats cannot use
the title of democrat.
The controversy began when
the legislature enacted a law re
quiring all political parties in
the state to register with the
secretary of state. ,
The law bans use of the same
name or any part of the same
name by more than one party.
Oregon Court Takes Stand
For 'Integrity of the Family'
The Oregon supreme court Tuesday took a firm stand for "the
integrity of the family," and reversed a Multnomah county cir
cuit court decree granting a divorce to Betty Jean Guinn.
The circuit court decree, granted by Fred W. Bronn, judge pro
tern, awarded Mrs. Guinn a divorce from John E. Guinn and gave
her custody of their minor child-
and temporary alimony.
Interim Committee
Meets Opposition
Portland, April 12 m The
state legislative interim commit
tee report on highways ran into
opposition yesterday.
The report would "create a
superman dictatorship to con
trol Oregon s roads, Guy Boy
ington, Clatsop county judge,
told officials of seven northwest
ern Oregon counties at a high
way meeting.
"It is a plan to remove control
of the state highway commission
and place It under a super-engineer.
The county commissioners
and county courts would have to
deal with this super-engineer di
rectly on road problems instead
of with the highway commission
as they have in the past," he said.
He described it as a "slap in
the face and insult to every tax
payer in the state."
Boyington said it would bring
about an expensive system of
super-highways, taking all high
way revenue and forcing coun
ties to resort to sales taxes and
other special taxes.

Guinn appealed.
The high court, in an opinion
written by Chief Justice Hall S.
Lusk, noted that Mrs. Guinn had
charged her husband treated her
in "a cruel and inhuman man
ner, making her life miserable,
burdensome and unbearable . . ."
The supreme court held that
Mrs. Guinn had not submitted
sufficient evidence to sustain
charges, and reversed the cir
cuit court in its granting of the
decree.
Noting that both Guinn and
Mrs. Guinn, despite the discrep-'
ancy of their age he was 43
and she was 21 when they mar
ried May 8, 1946 were poten
tially good parents, said:
"Marriage under our law is a
civil contract in which the state
has a vital interest. It is not to
be dissolved by mutual agree
ment nor for light reasons. It
is still true that the integrity of
the family is basic to our Ameri
can civilization."
The court concluded:
"Whether, with a better will
on her part, this marriage may
yet be saved is not the test of
the court s decision. It is our
function to weigh the evidence
in the light of the law for the
purpose of ascertaining if the
charges have been sustained.
We think they have not been,
and the decree must, therefore,
be reversed."
Tompkins, in the early April
issue of the Grange bulletin, ac
cused the game commission of
misuse of public funds in print
ing an article opposing high
dam construction in the upper
Rogue river basin.
The Grange master charged
that to attack the project
"through the game commission
bulletin, which is printed and
distributed at public expense,
is clearly a misuse of public
funds."
"Tompkins is all wrong," Van
Winkle said.
"The state game bulletin is
not published at public expense.
None of the cost of publishing
and mailing the bulletin comes
from the state general fund.
The game bulletin is supported
entirely by license fees, volun
tarily paid by sportsmen. The
game bulletin is the sportsmen's
magazine, in Oregon.
"It is fitting and proper that
it carry information or argu
ments slanted to the sportsman's
position. This position has ev
idenced in many resolutions bv
sports clubs and in a sportsmen's
sponsored referendum is in op
position to the high dam at Lew
is creek on the Rogue river.
"Tompkins uses the support of
grangers to espouse public pow
er in the Grange bulletin.
Sportsmen think it is the grang
ers' business and do not meddle
in it. They expect reciprocal
consideration from Tompkins."
Van Winkle said the position
taken by anyone writing in the
game bulletin on controversial
matters "need not necessarily be
that of the game commission."
