Mysterious Object
Alarming New England
Said Weather Balloon
Boston w A high flying
object which soared over New
England Wednesday, alarming
hundreds of residents and caus
ing the Air Force to send up a
jet fighter plane, was identified
as a weather balloon today.
Offcials at the Air Force Cam
bridge Research Center at Hans
com Field in Lawrence said it
was nothing more than "Moby
Dick," a high altitude balloon
used to record weather data in
the upper stratosphere.
A spokesman said the balloon
was launched in Vernalis, Calif.,
by the Air Force and could be
deflated from the ground by
"merely pushing a button."
Information recorded by the
balloon's instruments are auto
matically sent to California by
radio, according to the official.

Duncan Says People
Have Duty To Take
Interesl in House
"All of you have a respon
sibility to take an interest in
what goes on up there at the
legislature," State Rep. Robert
Duncan, Medford, declared yes
terday in a luncheon talk to the
Medford Kiwanis club.
"You have a responsibility to
express yourself," he said, stat
ing also that taking interest in
- sessions of the legislature is a
"duty."
Speaking to the service club
members at Rogue Valley Coun
try club, Duncan mentioned
the pressure on a legislator from
constituents and the problem of
determining what a lawmaker's
obligation is to his constituents,
the state or the county. He in
dicated that the opinion that a
legislator should do the best job
he can for the largest number
of people.
Can't Ba Lone Wolf
In fulfilling the obligation,
Duncan brought out, "It is hard
to vote against people who are
your friends. He pointed out that
a legislator cannot go straight
along on a lone wolf program
because tlre are times when
he needs help, himself, with cer
tain legislation.
Duncan spoke of the bill pro
posing the abolition of the
death penalty for crime as prob
ably the legislature's most im
portant measure going on the
ballot. He stated that those who
are executed generally are '"the
poor and the friendless."
Bill Clark, of Medford Tire
service, was introduced as a
new Kiwanian. It was announc
ed that the Medford club will
participate in an interclub
meeting on Tuesday, July 23, at
Grants Pass.
ently didn't recognize the device
since a high altitude jet fighter
was sent to view the object after
the base was flooded by tele
phone calls.
Police and newspaper switch
boards from New Haven, Conn.
to Brunswick, Maine, were also
deluged by phone calls with resi
dents reporting such unlikely
things as "flying saucers," "a
Russian device" and "an earth
satellite which got away."
Many callers claimed the bal-'
loon changed colors in flight,
ranging from a bright red to
silver-blue. Scientists explained 1
that this phenomenon was
caused by the reflection of the
setting sun's rays on the plastic
balloon covering.
High Flyer
Scientists said the device was
drifting at a height of about
100,000 feet. Weather instru
ments are contained in a pack
age which hangs beneath the
balloon and directions for for-
warding the contents are writ
ten on the box in English,
French and Spanish.
Persons finding a downed
balloon can collect a S25 reward
by returning the contents of the j
box to the Air Force, officials
said.
One "Moby Dick"' came to
earth in Spain, according to a
spokesman. He said most of the
balloons were never glimpsed
by the nation's residents since
their high altitude usually kept
them far above clouds and haze
in the sky. Over New England
Wednesday night the skies were
unusually clear.
The research center said the
balloons were launched quite
frequently.
'Oriental Flu'
Vaccine Ordered
Washington (IT The govern
ment told drug manufacturers j
today to proceed with mass pro- ;
duction of a vaccine effective in j
warding off the highly contagi
ous "Oriental flu," now spread
ing throughout the world.
Working closely together, gov
ernment and ir.dustry scientists
developed the vaccine in a 1
"crash program" to make it
available by the start of the flu
season this fall.
The Public Health Service an
nounced Wednesday the vaccine
has been tested successfully on
human volunteers injected with
the Oriental virus.
The service has sent specifica
tions for the vaccine to six
manufacturers and expects them
to begin turning out batches of
shots soon.
A spokesman for the service
said the vaccine, like others
used in combatting influenza, is
not 100 per cent effective. But
it was successful enough to start
production immediately.
