'; That Un't the answer.
For the aecond time In a week,
air forca radur ncreens have picked
up flying aaueera over tho nation's
capital. Tliia lime, Jet Hunter
were enl up to chase them. One
pilot reported gelling within ten
miles of a mynierloua white IlKht
which, played tag with him for a
While, then put on. speed and van

k morning:
' "We have no evidence they are
flying aaucera. On the other mind,
we have no evidence they are NOT
flying aaucera. We don't know what
Utey are."
A few yeara ago we'd have
laughed and gone on with our
buslneaa with the healthy con
clualona that too many people are
aeelng too many thing that aren't

Bui now radar, which work by

an experimental plane that has hit

without new talk of the Imminent

inal an atom bomb can kill me no

The name goes for a possibly
hostile flying aaueer.
By the way,, an engineer has
come up with a pockel-aiie calcu

that matter, In the year 30,000.
That also leaves me cold. I just
don't CAKE what day of the week
chrlstmua will fall on In aay the

For one thing, I don't do my
Christmas shopping that far ahead.
Another outfit Is working on a
fancy new calendar that wouin
start every new year and every

make It possible for us to have all

Odd Lights
By JERRY T. 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. Air Force,
which sent ud two jet fighter inter
ceptor planes from a base at New
castle. Del., some 90 miles from
Washington.
Fire Damages
River Home
A noon fire today burned out
the upstairs portion of a two-story
house at 735 S. Riverside.
The old frame residence is owned
by the Great Northern and is oc
cupied oy tne Kaipn uutnrie lami-
ly. Guthrie is a Great Northern
section foreman.
Mrs. Guthrie, sick m bed, said
the fire must have started In the
attic,- posibly from wiring. She
said, persons driving along River
side saw smoke 'seeping through
the roof, came in and told her the
house was on fire.
She got out without harm, and
a number of persons helped carry
out the furniture and other house
hold goods.
Mrs. Guthrie said . there was
nothing of value in the attic.
City fire equipment was called
to the scene and for about 20 min
utes had traffic on heavily-traveled
Riverside stopped up by fire hose
laid across tne pavement, uars ana
trucks, were backed up for blocks
both ways until the hose was
planked in so cars could cross It
The old house is located about
78 feet from the nearest storage
tank of the Mobil Oil Company's
gasoline dump, but the flames
never broke through the roof of the
house in any volume and there
was no-wind blowing to cause the
fire to spread.
Firemen had to chop through
the roof to get at the flames.
While that was going on, the
Suburban Fire Department also
had a call, to 3004 Bisbee, but it
was a false alarm.

Aluminum
Crews May
Leave Jobs
PITTSBURGH (in A strike
threat in the aluminum industry
put a new roadblock Monday In
the path of America's economy
as the nation's steel mills gained
speed In their drive to recover,
from a 55-day walkout.
Contract negotiations between
the CIO United Steelworkers and
tne Aluminum Company of Amer
ica broke off in Washington with
the union threatening to strike
ruesday at 9 p. m. (e.s.t.).
The union originally demanded
a regular pay raise from Alcoa of
15 cents an hour, nlus three and
one half cents In fringe benefits.
the UbW also demanded a union
shop.
STEEL STRIKE
In the steel dispute, the union
settled for a 21-cent wage increase
package, including a 10 cent pay
boost, and a modified union shop.
The company has not disclosed
what pay offer, if any, it made
to the USW. .
Alcoa said the union is making
wage demands greater than those
granted by the steel Industry.
The union replied with a state-
mem that the USW is out to level
ou pay differentials in the nine
different plants in which it re
presents workers.
United States Steel Corp., pro
ducer of one-third of the nation's
steel, said one-third of Its employes
have been recalled.
SHIPMENTS
Shipments of finished steel en
hand at the start of the strike June
2 are being made.
Special emphasis Is placed on
moving tin plate, used in the man
ufacture of tin cans.
Jones and Laughltn Steel Corp.
said the back-to-normal process is
in full swing at its big plants in
Pittsburgh and nearby Aliqulppa,
Pa., but is hitting a snag at
Cleveland.
