Saw Some Saucers, Says Rose;
, He Wasn't in His Cups, Either
I-By BILLY ROSE
At the risk of being laughed out of court and countenance, I’d
like to report that I’ve seen flying saucers.
It happened on a clear and moon-minus night two summers ago in
Newton, Conn., on the lawn of the home belonging to Paul Osborne, the
playwright. Among my fellow oglers were Paul and his wife, Director
■lush Logan and his missus, and Author John Hersev and his. What's
more, none of us was in his cups the night we watched the flying saucery.
The show began about !() pm.
while we were sitting outdoors, en
joying ai d shooting the breeze, and
the first thing
noticed were

pered above our bewildered heads.
As nearly as I could judge, these
whatzises were at least 200 feet in
diameter and were flying at an al
titude of from 3,000 to 5,000 feet.
Their edges gave off a ghostly glow,
very much like blue neon tubing
seen through a heavy fog.

FURTHERMORE. according to
Henry J., a “true'' disc was actual
ly photographed near Wildwood,
N. J.; another was found in the
vicinity of Galveston, Texas, and
stenciled on its surface was the
following:

WHEN THE SEARCHLIGHTS fi
nally cut off and the discs got lost
I in the stars, we put what was left
of our heads together and decided
that what we had witnessed must
have been some kind of hush-hush
military exercise. We also decided
that, if we didn't want a butterfly
net slipped over our heads, it would
be smart to keep our lips zipped
about the whole tiling.
How come, then, that with my
bare face hanging out in print, I'm
spilling the story now? Well, until
recently the talk about the per
snickety pancakes lias been more
loose than lucid—according to
! some writers, they were manned
by Martins two inches tall; accord
j ing to others, by Russians two
j droshkirs wide.
Recently, however, documenta
tion has begun to replace delir

that the overgrown manhole cov

secret u capons of our own navy
and air force.

ASA J. MANNING. Prop.
jPeanuls Wipe On!
Number Diseases
If India's 400.000,000 people pan
he taught to eat peanuts, many
of the diseases which plague that
country could be wiped out.
This is the conclusion of Dr. P.
K. Vijayaraghavan, biochemist
from India's Nutrition Research
Laboratory, who is doing special
protein research at the University
of California at Los Angeles.
He points out that India is starv
ed for proteins of good nutritional
value because of her traditional
cattle worship. While modern In
dians do not today hold rigidly to
the religious beliefs which deify I
the anmals, age-old customs have,
made vegetarians of them.
India’s protein starvation is the
basic cause of many diseases
which afflict'her teeming millions.
Indians do not get enough pro
teins in their diets, either in meat
or vegetables. As a result, mal
nutrition and dietary deficiencies
are widespread.
Dr. Vijayaraghavan believes it
would be easier to introduce a ve
getable high in protein value—
such as peanuts—into the Indian
iict than to try to make meat
■aters out of his countrymen. This
s the line his research at U. C. L.
V is following.
At the present time, peanuts are
>ne of India’s biggest crops. How
■ver, most of the crop is fed to
attle. Dr. Vijayaraghavan is con
'ineed that if Indians can be in

Things To Watch

seals off the socket when the

for a new plastic whiskbroom.
The bristles telescope into the
handle, permitting a variety of
whisking jobs: elothes-brushing
when pulled out full, upholstery
cleaning when telescoped half- :
way, and shoe-brushing when
