BAULCH WASHINGTON If! Radar which normally doesn't show some thing that isn't there has picked up "flying saucers" near the na tion's capital for the second time within a week. ' Jet fighter Dilots searched the skies without directly contacting anything during the six hours that four to 12 unidentified objects in termittently appeared on radar Airport and nearby Andrews Air Force Base. One Pilot said he saw four lights approximately 10 miles away and silently above him but they dis appeared before he could overtake them. Later, the same pilot said. he saw "a steady white light" five miles away mat vamsned ui about minute.; So far as could be determined. this was the first time Jets have been sent on tne trail of such sky ghosts. OFFICIALS , Officials carefully avoided men tioning "flying saucers," Just as they did when radar picked up seven or eight unidentified objects near Washington last Monday. But the Air Force was expected to add the report to its long list of saucer sightings, which officials say are coming in faster than at any time since the Initial flurry in 1947. An Air Force spokesman said all necessary steps were being taken to evaluate the newest phe nomenon Later an Air Force spokesman said: "We have bo evidence Uiey are frying saucexsr conversely we have no evidence they are not flying saucers. We don't know what they are." NO AGREEMENT There was no agreement whether the recent reports are the first of such mystery objects appearing on radpr. At least, officials agreed they are unusual. Radar normally does not regis ter anything without substance- such .as light. But it can pick up such tilings as a oird or a cioua formation. And one expert said radar Is not Infallible. . The Air Force reported that be tween four and 12 unidentified ob jittts appeared at 4:08 p.m., PST, Saturday on the radar screen at the Air Route Traffic Control Cen ter operated by the Civil Aeron auUcs Administration. Their posi tion was estimated at 10 miles east of Mount Vernon. Vo., which is near Washington National Airport word went to tne.

Mrs. Guthrie, sick m bed, said the fire must have started In the attic,- posibly from wiring.
