ry -,-4 Vs;A "" in? Vic : Fryer . Today in Salem I A Fairgrounds Road service ttalion operator was nearly fauns; Ik red tape last week over a tank of gasoline. A liquor commission official from Portland office drove to Salem to attend a meeting and topped at the station to get the gas tank filled. Only then did he realize that he had forgotten Ids state credit card. Station operator told him to go ahead his meeting and make ar rangements later to pay for the gasoline. Soon a man from the Salem of fice of the booze board arrived and was going to pay for the gasoline with his credit card when he sud denly realized that his card was '". for wrong account. Their Portland cars are operated by liquor com mission while Salem officials use cars from the motor pool. After considerable amount of phone calls, conferences etc., it was decided 'that service station would hold up on the bill until an other liquor commission car comes ' down from Portland on a business trip and the bill can be put on that credit card. Newsmen at the nalionai Cap ital apparently had their feel- , lags hurt the other day when police pntrnls forced them to .travel slower than the Presi dent's speeding car. The speed hadn't bothered them enough .to make comment on It 'until they were forced to slow down on one trlp. . While It Is agreed that the ;. President should have no more "right to exceed the speed limit than anyone else, the pellyness of attitude of a few newsmen Is shown In their mile-by-mile ac counts of his within-the-speed limit trips he has made since then, pointedly noting that he "no longer" Is breaking the law. Which brines to mind the storv of the editor of the small town pa per who had an intense dislike for the town's mayor. Everytime the mayor was seen to take a drink at a party or a club, the paper would carry a story to the effect that the mayor had been drunk again. The mayor eventually had all he could take and called on the ed itor to threaten him with a libel euit if he wrote another story say ,;ing the mayor was drunk. f The editor replied in the next v edition with a one line story: "The Mayor was sober today." j A Norrlston, Pa., man has come up with a device to pre vent dogs from biting mair.nen or whoever nses the gadget. Looks sort of like a stiff spiral muzzle on the end of, a stick. He doesn't say, however, how you get the dog to put his nose In the muzzle. Firemen Join To Quell Blaze In South Salem Firemen from the Salem and i Liberty-Salem Heights fire depart ments combined efforts to extin- guish a blaze in the Robert Hun ton home, 1170 E. Hoyt St., Satur day night. Defective wiring is believed the cause of the blaze that broke out in the living room of the home about 9:15 p.m., firemen said. The living room was gutted by the flames and fire burned through the roof of the one-story frame home but the major portion of the house was saved. The kitchen was badly scorched and wallpaper in some areas of the house was ruined, firemen said. Living room furniture was destroyed. Damage was estimated ; at at least $1,500. No one was home at the time the blaze broke out. Neighbors called firemen. Apparently both fire departments were called be cause the area of the home is right at the south city limits. The street is just a few feet outside the city at that point. The home is owned by Ray ' Tsfhauner, 1S5 S. 12th St., fire ' men said.

'Key' Measure 75 to Ask Legislature To Table School Fund Bill PENDLETON W The Oregon Legislature will be asked to table the controversial "key district" school fund distribution bill and to provide additional funds for the present financially hard-pressed districts. : This was decided Saturday at a meeting of some 75 educators and county officials from Eastern Oregon and Multnomah and Linn counties. School districts in these regions say they would lose a considerable amount of their basic school sup port money if the key district plan is approved. The unanimously approved res olution which will be presented to tne Legislature also calls for a committee of laymen to work out a new distribution program, ac ceptable to the whole state. ' The key district bill has been approved by the Senate and now is under consideration by a House committee. J. W. Forrester Jr., publisher of the Pendleton East Oregonian and a member of the state Board of Higher Education, proposed the resolution at the Saturday meet ing. , Counties represented at the meeting, besides Linn and Multno mah, were Umatilla, Wasco, Gil liam, Morrow, Grant, Baker, Union and Harney.

(Capital Journal Photo) PEOPLE AREN'T GREEN Van Tassel States Saucers Do Exist By MARGARET MAGES Capital Journal Writer That flying saucer you saw in the sky may well have been one. There are such things, says G. W. Van Tassel, who is in Sa- lorn to speak Monday night at the Bush School auditorium on flying saucers. Van Tassel, a former flight test engineer, says he has seen them and has been inside what he calls a scout ship. Now living at Yucca Valley, Calif., he said, "We have seen so many of them, we have quit counting. Van Tassel described the scout ship as looking like a flaticned-out bell and being 38 feet across the rim . and 19 feet high. This nor mally carries four persons, he said. One Speaks English One member of the crew spoke English and talked with Van Tas sel, who described his speech as heme very distinct English, al most like that of a foreigner, who learns English. Talking of the movement of the ship, Van Tassel said the protec tive field around it, which is a gen erated force field, to protect it from the atmosphere, gives the impression the ship is turning. This field also prevents us from hearing sound from the space ships. Generates Oxygen The ship. Van Tassel explained, generates its own oxygen in the same manner in which this planet generates oxygen. The ship ts made of metallic and non-metallic material,' but the metals have not been melted. Their process, he said, is similar to our process of building chrome on a tamper by electrollsis. The discs use a magnetic motor for Honors Rock; Mrs. Dona Knowles, Se attle; two sons. Roscoe Pafridge. Pendleton; Orviile Patridge, Colo rado; and several grandchildren. Funeral arrangements will be by Folsom Funeral Home, Pendle ton.

The Air Force has gotten some of these space ships and photo graphs of the same type of space ship have been taken in Califor nia, Now Jersey, Scotland and Venezuela, Van Tasssi said. He then told of their contacting the President and added that they have contacted the heads of every nation. Occupants Described It is not Email green people that man these ships, however, Van Tassel said. He explained that those from the moon arc small in she varying from three to four feet and they do wear green uni forms, but those from Venus are about the size of the inhabitants of this earth. Those on Mars average about five feet, two inches in height iTheir uniforms are ot varying col ors and the fabric seems to give off a phosphoric giowi. No Buttons, Pockets This uniform has no seams, but tons or pockets and there is a rea son for this. The generated force field of the ship would melt any metal. For this same reason, the space ships cannot land in a thick ly populated area, where there would be metal that might be af fected by ths force field. "There have been a lot more of them seen than anyone realizes," Van Tassel said. The desert area, particularly between San Diego and Las Vegas and from Los An geles to Arizona, he noted, was an area where many had been sight ed. He also told of a large carrier ship hovering over an area near Paradise, Calif., for IS hours. ASKeu u me occupants ui me&c i ships were friendly to this planet, i Van Tassel answered, At least i the ones we have contacted have j been friendly." ' And, to the question, "Arc there any of them living among us?" his answer was that there were some definitely living among as and they told of landing 18 million on this planet in the last 100 years. j Right or wrong.
