NEW YORK. 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.

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.
He added he not only received
complaints from shipping Interests
but from businesses on the West
Coast

Travel Item
TULELAKE. July 10 Suggestions
for capitalising on tourist traffic
possibilities In the Klamath basin
were presented III a series of talks
at the Wedtiesdnv noon meeting ol
the Tulelake Rotary club, with
John Houston, director In charge ol
the tourist committee of the Klam

Klamnlh country should miss no op
portunities to publicise its products
aa well as Us recreation attractions.

people might throw a duck dinner
lor tne lavs Angeles Aavr-niaing
club, and declared the favorablr
publicity of such a project would
be enormous. She told of the viilue
of slogans and songs, and advanced
the idea of a contest to produce a
catchy song that would publicize
some feature of the Klamath re
gion. Mrs. Beardsley at the outset com
mented on the attention Uie Tule
lake country has already received
through national magazines. "Who
are we to be telling you how to get
publicity?" site asked.
Other speakers at the meeting

editor of The Herald and News, and
Houston. Epley einpliaalrcd the po
tential values of travel through
Klamath Falls and Tulelake on a
short, fast route from Northwest
points to Southern California
points the inside route to Los An
geles via Reno. Getting people to
use the route and then getting
them to stop lor a look at the lava
Beds National monument, or other
recreation features In the area, of
fers a challenge to people of the
basin, he said.
Houston emphaslred the great
economic value ol tne tounsi aoi
lar. and said It Is hoped to build
this into a $10 000.000 Industry In
the Klamath basin area.
