Portage County sheriff's dep uty, chased a flying saucer 86 miles. Now the strange craft is chasing him. And he is hiding from it, a bearded stranger peering past the limp curtains of a tiny motel room in Solon, Ohio. He no longer is a deputy sheriff. His marriage is shattered. He has" Lost 40 pounds. He lives on one bowl of cere al and a sandwich each day. WALKS TO WORK He walks three miles to an $80-a-week painter's job. His motel room costs $60 a week." The court has ordered him to pay his wife $20 a week for the support of his two children. That leaves Dale Spaur ex actly nothing. The flying saucer did it. .

FREE PARKING in have done in my life," he said. "I would change just one thing. And that would be the night we chased that damn thing. That saucer." He spit the word out. Saucer. An obscenity. Others might understand. Four other officers took part in the April drama. Police Chief Gerald Buchert of Mantua saw the craft and photographed it. The pictures turned out badly, an odd fuzzy white thing suspended in black- . ness. Today, Chief Buchert laughs nervously when he speaks of that night. "I'd rather not talk about it," he says. "It's something that should be forgotten, left alone. I saw something, but I don't know what it was." Special Deputy W. L. Neff rode with Spaur during the chase. He won't talk about it. Patrolman Frank Panzanella saw the chase end in Conway, Pa., where he works. He saw the craft. Now he is silent. Friends say he had his telephone removed because of calls about that April morning. ' H. Wayne Huston was a police officer in East Palestine, Ohio. He had worked there seven years. Several months after the saucer passed above him in the night, he resigned, going to Seattle, Wash., to drive a bus. Huston now goes by Harold W. Huston. He tells you: "Sure I quit because of that thing. People laughed at me. And there was pressure. You couldn't put your finger on it, but the pressure was there. The city officials didn't like police officers chasing flying saucers." STORY OF OTHERS Thus the story of the other officers. Three still wear badges, but do not speak of what they saw. Spaur and Huston have turned in their badges. Now Spaur hides in Solon, a fugitive from a flying saucer named Floyd. He cannot escape the strange craft. It remains with him, locked in his mind reappearing in nightly sweating dreams that are a bi zarre mixture of reality and fantasy. Of that night: He is-" driving car 13.Batney Neff 4js Tjesidej him. Theyare. JieaUng east.., along U.S. 224 between Ran- -dolph and Atwater when they spot a red and white 1959 Ford alongside the road. Barney and Dale stop to check it out. The car is filled with walkie-talkies and other radios. A strange emblem is painted on the side. A triangle with a bolt of lightning inside it. Above the emblem is written "Seven steps to hell." Suddenly Spaur hears a humming sound behind him. He turns and sees a huge, saucer-shaped craft rising out of a woods. The entire underside of the craft gleams with an in- -tense, purplish-white light. Pete Begins His Exile RALEIGH (AP) Pete the collie, looked harmlessly fris ky today as he began his exile in North Carolina. Pete, his nine - year - old master, Anthony Jones, and Anthony's father, Willie Jones, arrived at the Raleigh - Dur ham Airport yesterday after noon. Pete had been locked in a New York dog pound since June 8 while , humans argued whether he : really bit three people and what his fate should be. New York City health offic ers decreed that Pete should die, but the state supreme court ordered a new hearing. Rather than take a chance of an unfavorable verdict, Willie Jones offered to send the dog to; a farm near Raleigh. The officers agreed. So, Pete wiu uve.in exile on the farm axaffluhhtwi 5:30 - 9 P.M. (Chiidrfn 'i Priced our Modern Garage RSTUB'E? Spaur calls to Barney, who turns, sees the craft, then stands paralyzed. Neither moves. Spaur is sure he can't move. That his limbs will not work. He does not know why he is sure of this. He just believes it. The ship rises to about 150 feet and moves directly over the patrol car. Both men feel warm, pleasing heat from the light blazing from the bottom of the craft. But the light is so intense that tears stream from their eyes. Spaur thinks about moving back to the car. Yet he does not. Some trace of a thought which seems to tell him that if he touches the car it will disap pear. Then the saucer moves away from the car and stops. As though on command, both men race to the cruiser. Later, Spaur thinks that is strange, that both would move at exact ly the same instant. Spaur radios in, telling the deskman what he has seen. Oth er reports have already flared over the radio. "Shoot it," the radio man tells Spaur. Again, some strange feeling tells Spaur not to get out of the cruiser and shoot at the craft. It is about 50 feet across and maybe 15 to 20 feet high. On top of it is a large dome. An anten na juts out from the rear part of the dome. The night sergeant comes oh the- radio and tells Spaur to chase it. The craft moves away and Spaur follows. Slowly at first. Later, he hits speeds of more than 100 miles an hour racing eastward through Ohio and into Pennsylvania. " The craft seems to be letting Spaur follow it. It waits for him at intersections. Once, it seems forced to turn away from its to double back when he is eastward path. Finallyafter the sun has ris en, the chase ends near Pitts burgh when Spaur runs out of gas. This is what happened, ac cording to Spaur and Neff. Now Spaur relives the chase 'each night in a twisting night-' imare; But in his dream, car 13 van ishes. Disappears when he touches it. And then Spaur stands alone beneath the huge ship. At this moment, he awakens shivering and wet, Alone In Ms motel room. As he speaks of the six months since he saw the flying saucer called Floyd, it is diffi cult to tell when the nightmare stops and reality begins. s Spaur does not know what happened to the sedan with "Seven Steps to Hell" written on its sides.

Mill Of 1892 By MIRIAM HENKEL Special to the DTH . Would you believe that pigs often slept in front of Chapel Hill's one room post office on Franklin Street just 74 years ago. This information from old time ChapeL Hill residents ac companies a map of the busi ness district as it was in 1892 which has been placed in the University of North Carolina library. The map, given by Phillips Russell, retired jour nalism professor, is in the North Carolina Collection. Ralph Trimble, formerly of the UNC mathematics depart ment, drew and lettered it in pencil on white posterboard. It was drawn from a sketch done by Russell during talks with Mrs. Julia Graves, mother of Louis Graves, found er of the Chapel Hill Weekly, several years before her death in 1944. " ' " . OLD CHURCH It begins with the Old Bap tist Church on the northwest corner of Church and Frank lin Streets and runs down to the Presbyterian church lot. On the south side it focuses on the home of Dr. T. Hume with its slave cottages in the rear and ends at Pickard's Hotel, owned by a New York lawyer, on the site of what is now Gra ham Memorial. : .

Both sides of Franklin Street were shaded then with trees. In rainy weather the dirt road became mud and had to be . crossed by stepping stones. The Presbyterian and Metho dist churches and the post office have retained their orig inal sites, but many of the old wooden shops have given way to their modern counterparts. Hopefully, the map will help future historians identify for mer stores and shops and will prevent disputes. The Ivy Room J25rt: ' 4 Chicken in the Rough xsLgi J Steaks SaUot Mf DELICATESSEN SJ.
