July 10 Safel Safe after 4 hours and 57.600 miles in flying saucer from Mars I And now I can tell the world the full story of what happened after Balrmslon X-Ray O'Rune, the eight foot, green-haired Martian pilot, snagged me off a bar tool and took me riding In a space ship. You will remember that Balnuston I got to calling him "Balm)'" and 4M other Martian pilots came here in flying saucers on a universe-wide "treasue hunt" sweepstakes. The game was to find and take to Mara Orson Welles and eleven other dif ficult objects such as a whalebone stay from Queen Victoria's corset "Let's go look first for the lost gold tooth of Magellan." said Balnuston. after a few warming-up trips across the continent "We can pick up Orson Welles later." He poured In a fresh bottle of anti-gravity fuel, wound up the at mospheric trtctlon-repeUer, and our seven-story-high Invisible flying disc whipped over the Atlantic at 30 miles a minute. "Air trips bore me you miss so much of the scenery," yawned Balm Iston, scratching at a hangnail on his three-clawed hand. -What would be the result If we hit the Eiffel tower?" I worried. Scattered Confusion "Scattered confusion,'' quipped Balnuston. Suddenly he grabbed the wheel from my hands and spun It wildly. "You almost ran over a Jet plane, you Earth dope!" he said. But quickly apologized after I muttered: "Okay, you backseat-driving mope from Mars. I haven't noticed you sticking out a claw on the turns." The flying saucer landed , beauti fully. One-eyed Balmy leaned back dreamily and began to whistle through the top of his head. "I think 111 take you up to Mars and Introduce you to my sister, Violet Ray O'Rune." he said. "She's always complaining I never Introduce her to any of my friends. 8he may take a liking to you. Nice girl, too'. "Does she have an eye in her forehead and green hair like you. Balmy?" I shuddered. "Sure," he said, "do you think she's a freak like you? She's a cutie got long eyelashes thin as a rope. She makes a good living, too. pulling a boat on one of the canals. Not that I think you're mercenary." Tossing Out Fuel Appalled at the prospect I began throwing bottles of anti-gravity fuel out the exhaust every time Balmy's attention wandered. As we passed over Austria, the big green man i queried nervously: "You're not cutting across Russia, j are you?" J "Why not?" "You know how touchy Stalin is i about passports," said Balmy. "I don't want to start an Ultra-universal ; Incident. Swing down to Egypt." There we found Magellan's gold tooth In a Cairo curio shop. O'Rune ' filched It without payment after! rubbing himself with a Jar of in-! visible cold cream. On the way back our flying saucer began to lose altitude. "We're running low on fuel," said the startled green man. "I'll have to contact one of the other saucers from Mars and borrow some." He put on the headphones of the flying disc's Interstellar mental tel epathy radio which I had already thoughtfully Jammed. "All I get Is a broadcast from the United Nations." complained the Martian. "A man with a Russian accent keeps saying. 'No! Nol No!' " As we settled Invisibly down on Brooklyn, I took over: "Listen, Balmy, this Is my stop. Here Is a bottle of anti-gravity fuel I hid from you. It wont take you to Mars, but it will take you to Hollywood." "Why Hollywood?" asked the stricken space traveler. "Because It's the only place where a -man with green fur. claws and a mouth on top of his skull won't stand out in a crowd. Tell them you're standing In for Boris Karloff. But don't say you're from Mara. They'll laugh at you." Balmy's forlorn voire drifted down to me as the flying saucer spun westward: "1 11 look up Orson Welles. He'll recognise me. And from here on In I'm riding nothing but flve-mlle-an-hour water wagons. They aren't driven by green guys from Mars. Cordon Eyes Ship Question WASH1NOTON. Julv 10 Senator Cordon iR-Ore. has taken up complaints from West Coast In tercoastal shipping operators that they will be compelled to lay up 37 intercoastal vessels If the maritime commission does not rescind orders putting them on a charter basis. The vessels have been operated under general agency agreement or a government subsidy. Under this plan the government furnishes the ships, pays insurance and such costs and the companies operate them as aitents for the maritime commission being paid a percentage of the profits. Cordon said he had been notified that six of nine companies operating intercoastal vessels out of West Coast ports had advised him they cannot operate under the charter plan. Under thl plan the companies would charter the vessels from the maritime commission and assume all costs and risks of the operation. The companies have advised him. Cordon said, they would lay up the 37 vessels as soon as they complete their present trips. He said that it would mean virtually complete tie up of the Pacific coast intercoastal trade.
