Peril One of the most intriguing radio programs you’ll hear any place can be heard at 9:30 every Saturday morning over WCDJ. Entitled “The UFO Story,” it’s a program that brings you re ports on unidentified flying ob jects (flying saucers if you pre fer that term) that you just can’t read about in newspapers, sec about on television or for -the most part hear about on radio. It’s a subject that’s strictly hush hush. thanks, mostly to the ef forts of the United States Air Force who choose to keep the public completely uninformed on what is actually of vital con cern to all of. us. Furthermore the Air Force is also responsible for trying to make ridiculous the claims of reputable scien tists, airline pilots and others who have seen or have some- FOR RENT—THREE-BEDROOM house, 205 West Second Street.

Despite this, though, the subject of UFO’s keeps crop-1 ping up and lately has also been! of vital concern to manv con gressmen. So in case you've ! been taken in by Air Force; claims of “ridiculous”, on this subject of flying saucers, read’ on and see what the men in] Congress have to say on the subject after it was brought to their attention. First of a!3. Senator Stuart Symington, form-: er secretary of the Air Force, admits that the public is con fused on the matter and feels it should be cleared up. Os course, much of the confusion he talks about stemmed from his former] organization. One of the most outspoken men in Congress on' this subject is Senator Barry | Goldwater of Arizona, a jeti brigadier general in the Air. Force Reserve, who says: “UFO's j are real. The Air Force has a; project to investigate these re ports, but when you ask about them they clam up.” Now. let's' check with Senator Levcrett 8.. Saltonstall of Massachusetts, a member of the Senate Services Committee;, who is genuinely in terested. He says: “I think there* l are many cases in which more information should be made available to the public.''] Senator George Smathcc? of Florida admits the subicci is one in which we all share ?i great interest. Representative Thomas Ashlev of Ohio is also! concerned with the unnecessary secrecy by the Air Force, while another Ohio representative. William H. Avres, also admits I to much ituarded secrecy, but j says that/some day information on UFO’/ will be released.

Scott from North Carolina: “I quite agree that the general public should be allowed infor ! rnation thus far known about flying saucers. If this informa tion could be presented to the American public in such away as to appeal to reason, and not to emotion. 1 think it would be I a good thing."' Well, one good thing. Congress is getting inter lested and eventually the public I may get information as to the | various sightings of unidentified flying objects. However, until j the Air Force lifts its curtain of 1 secrecy. I can only recommend our 9:15 Saturday morning pro gram on unidentified flying ob • jects for news on this fascinat | ing subjects, news not released elsewhere.
