A Navy report said 40 officers and crew members of the destroy er Crusader saw the "saucers'" the night of July 10. All had the familiar qualities of the puzzling flying discs. The report, addressed to the commanders of the Far East Na val forces and the Fifth Air Force, said the ship's radar registered "fixes" on the objects- It placed them two miles high and seven mues away. A second report a day or two later dismissed the radar find as the planet Jupiter. Tokyo, too. had a saucer report.

Tlie local operation, under direc torship of Oround Observation Post Boss Wallace Reed, Is operating at good efficiency, but still needs a lot of volunteer help. Not including lorest lookouts. there are 33 ground observation posts now on duty In the Klamath Falls area and other parts of the county, according to Civil Defense Director Joe LaClalre.

(VP) The nerve center of the nation's air defense admits being Involved In the flying saucers situation. Headquarters of the Air Force air defense command, located at fcnt Air Force Base here, reported that there has been a flurry of re. ports of saucers and other unidenti fied objects for the past two weeks. And so seriously are the reports viewed that fast Interceptor planes are kept on the ready to Jet aloft to find out what goea on II pos sible. "We've really been scrambling," an ADC spokesman, said. "Those planes are kept loaded and ready u go and their pilots are never more than a tew feet away. They're In the air within seconds of a report that seems deflnate enough." FULL SYSTEM The thing Is not geared up Just for saucers, though. The system is the same as that worked out to meet any enemy attack. Furthermore, the ADC Isn't say ing what might have been found. The results of the scrambles aren't for it to announce. Findings are turned over to technical experts at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, O. The ADC, which commands and coordinates the three regional air delense commands in New York, Missouri and California, did say that its radar equipment has been picking up. a lot of unexplained olips. MANY REPORTS "For the cast two weeks." th. ADu reported, "headquarters has received a number of reports of unidentified airborne objects in its area through the normal detection channels of the ADC. In the normal performance of Its assignment, it has sent fighter Interceptor aircraft aloft whennv.r objects are detected in the area wiin suincient denniteness to war rant an Interception. "It should be pointed out that radar In many instances picks up certain natural phenomena, such as ionized clouds, which may give w afJfcatouvc ui solid oojects on the scope. "Other man-made objects, such aa flares, weather balloons and so on, may also register on the scope, and some Interceptions have re vealed mai uiese are often what the unknowns turn out to be." U.N.

The U.S. Eighth Army salri II N. troops twice shoved back 50-man Chinese attacks. Later, a huge. searchlight picked up about 35 Chinese trying to sneak through their lines. A staff officer said U.N. artillery killed 30. Machine gunners got seven more. Old Baldy, scene of bloody, see saw fighting for a - month, was recaptured By the Allies In a 12 hour battle Friday morning. The Communists had held Its crest 10 days. Gen. James A.
