Research Balloons
Will Be Released
Washington (U.R) The Navy
said Monday that research bal
loons will be released soon in
Oregon to float across the coun
try from west to east.
A spokesman warned that the
balloons might set off another
epidemic of "flying saucer" re
ports. For months there has been
speculation that some .of the per
sons who claimed to have spot
ted a "saucer" may have actual
ly seen only one of the huge bal
loons that the armed forces and
several private agencies use for
weather research.
In announcing the coming ex
periments, the Navy said the 37
foot balloons will be launched
near Tillamook, Ore., by Gener
al Mills, Inc., under a contract
with the. Office of Naval Re
search, t
The balloons will carry, elec
tric equipment designed to de
termine the characteristics of at
mospheric radio waves. They
also will contain instructions
telling balloon finders where to
return the instruments.

Injured by
In Mistake
Tonopah, Nev. (U.R) Two
members of the vacationing
John Hill family of Drain, Ore.,
were injured early Sunday
morning when Tonopah Police
Chief R. E. Lydon fired a sawed
off shotgun blast through a win
dow of their car at a roadblock
in the mistaken belief a desper
ado was in the vehicle.
Patsy Delle, 13, and Mrs.
Delia Hill, 35, were being treat
ed at Nye General hospital here
for wounds suffered when the
shotgun pellets shattered the
left rear window of the family's
1951 green Studebaker sedan.
Neither Seriously Hurt
The girl suffered wounds in a
leg caused by ricocheting pellets
and shattered glass and Mrs.
Hill's scalp was creased by a pel
let. Neither was in serious con
dition. The mishap occurred at dawn
Sunday at $ roadblock on U. S.
Highway 95 set up four miles
south of here by Lydon and
State Highway Patrolman James
Ray.
The two officers were watch
ing for a 1952 black sedan bear
ing Iowa license plates believed
to be driven by William Merle
Martin, 42, sought as a suspect
in the slaying of an Olathe, Kan.,
policeman. Martin was believed
to have run a roadblock near
Las Vegas Saturday night and
to have headed northward in the
direction of Tonopah and Reno.
Driving North
Meanwhile, the members of
the Hill family were driving
northward along U. S. 99 in a
green Studebaker sedan bearing
Oregon license plates. John Hill,
40, his wife, Patsy, and a son,
John, 12, were in the car.
Hill said he saw the red lights
of the police cars at the road
block and slowed his car to a
speed of 15 miles per hour. He
said he rolled down the driver's
window and when nobody said
anything figured there had been
an accident of some kind and
that the red lights were meant
only as a slow-down warning.
He said he speded up again
and as he did so heard a gun
shot and the sound of the shot
gun pellets shattered the left
rear window of his car. The pel
lets also shattered the right
front windshield as they passed

Hill's son narrowly escaped
having his head blown off by
the blast, Hill said. The boy was
lying upon the front seat cush
ion but sat up when the car
slowed down. He lay down again
as his father speeded up again
and seconds later the shotgun
blast penetrated the car. The
main force of the blast passed di
rectly above the front seat at
the point where the boy had
been peering outside earlier.
Lydon explained later that the
officers had been "looking for a
desperate killer" and that when
the car failed to stop and then
picked up speed again he fired
the shotgun blast in the belief
Martin might have stolen anoth
er car. Lj-don said it was still
dark at the time and it was im
possible to see who was in the
car.
