Yesterday a couple of airline pilots spotted one over toe East Coast. Pretty good description, and ' one which tallies fairly well with the report of another saucer spot ted over Kentucky a year ago. " Occasionally some obscure scien tist will come out ana admit that there must be something going around in the air besides meteors, wind balloons, weather Instruments and other trivia. And yet there is no proof. Scien tific, well-founded proof, that is. There have been a few spotted around town. Back in 1950 Corinne Gheller and Clydene Bousman re ported seeing a "large shiny ob ject" in the Klamath skies. Joe Segoviano spotted another one on June 16th of the same year while working at his Job of gate man at WTC. Carl Engbloom. a Mid- ' land fanner, noted three ot them in April, 1990. Mr. and Mrs. Har old Tunnell spotted one over Hog back on May 14th. Then came 1951 and more reports from our area, not to mention a million or so from other areas. , Joe Marian, Mrs. Herb Jones and eight-year-old Glen Jones all re ported seeing mysterious objects in the skies. Then In the same month three more people, who re quested that their names not be used, spotted a handful of discs. And Wednesday night we had a fireball over Klamath Falls. The more I think about it the more I'm convinced that there is ' such a thing as a flying saucer. : At least I hope so. I'd hate to see so many reputable people prov en liars. ; And I'd hate to think of anything ' so fascinating as the saucers go out of our lives.

All Is well. The record Is Intact. To while away the time on the long, - smooth straightaways we took to noting the license plates of passing cars. The licenses di vided the cars into three groups, ot roughly equal numbers. About a third of the passenger cars bore Oregon licenses. A little over a third had the black and orange plates of California. A scant third had a variety of li censes from other states. Two thirds of the cars, then. carried visitors from other states, over half of them from California. The fact reaffirmed our rather cold reaction to the clamor for more tourist business. If vou're hungrv tor tourist busi ness, build a better tourist trap. The tourist Is on the wing, and this Is a major flvway. It's just a mat ter of stopping him. if that's your business.

Harry loaned him the set in the back of bis car (which was having a flat fixed at the time. Incidentally) and thought no more about it.

"That was alright." said Harry. 1 didn't mind that, but th. ball left was that trick one the one that hops around, swerves in dizzy circles and Is strlctlv all off center.

Pullman To Raise Rates WASHINGTON 11 The Pull man Company received permission Friday to raise its minimum charge for sleeping car accommo dations by about 23 per cent. The Interstate Commerce Com mission said the company could put the Increase Into effect on July 28. The new schedule of rates will establish a minimum charge of five dollars for a lower berth in a standard Pullman car. The pres ent minimum is $4.05 for that type of accommodation. Since all sleeping-car charges are' tied to the basic lower-berth fare, all other types of sleeping accommodations will take a propor tionate advance. Thus, the minimum charge for a lower berth in a tourist sleep ing car will advance from 13.20 to $3.95. The upper berth minimum will become S3. 80 in a standard Full man and $3.05 in a tourist car, with roomettes priced at a flat seven dollars.

After first admitting the killing. Lesson said. Wenger "clammed up" and wouldn't talk except to say that the Pontlao was stolen. Lemon said after the youth signed a statement regarding the auto that he was asked if he wanted to tell the entire story of the Astoria slaying. "No," he quoted Wenger as answering, "I'm not talking any more until I see my lawyer." Sheriff Kearney told Lemon he was mailing a warrant for the youth and then "we'll be on our way" after him.
