Amin witnessed a strange object splash into historic Lake Victoria and then "lift off like a rocket being fired but moving gently," said Radio Uganda. Amin proclaimed his UFO sighting to be of "Great Significance" and "a sign of good luck" to Uganda." After the sighting, Amin went directly from the lake to a prayer meeting. He urged others who had seen the thing to follow his example. May 17, 1973 President Idi Amin Uganda Africa Dear Mr. President: This is the most important letter that you have ever received. This letter is being written in reference to the UFO that you recently saw with your own eyes, at Lake Victoria. BEFORE your own sighting of the UFO...I wrote to the African officials in high government, as well as to William Holden, the American actor who has a ranch in Kenya...WITH A MESSAGE FROM THE UFOs! The message was...for them to bring me and my family over there...so that I can save Africa from its drought attack. You see, as the enclosed news clippings tell you...I am famous the world over for my work under the observation of seven scientists, some of them world-renowned men. At this date I have brought about 288 miracles, which have been documented and proved, thusly. These miracles have been written about at great length in American magazines and books. I refer you to August and Sept. 1970 Saga magazine; March and April 1971 Saga magazine. There were others, but these four are the best of the lot. Then there is the book, "Occult America", by John Godwin, hardcover, which describes my work; the book, "Revelation; The Divine Fire" by Brad Steiger, hardcover, which describes my work; the book "What The Seers Predict For 1971", then "What The Seers Predict For 1972"...two different books, by Brad Steiger, which have chapters on my work; currently there is a paperback book "Predictions For 1973" by Glenn McWane, which has my work described. All of these paperback books mentioned describe the work of the world's greatest psychics, of which I am one, of course. They call me the UFO Prophet because I am half UFO creature myself. For ten years I have been working for and with the UFO beings, and this is borne out by the incredible miracles which I have performed, with the help of the UFOs. Long ago the UFO beings captured me in the lexicon desert, and modified my brain...to make me one of them. I can communicate with them at will...and many times have brought them down out of the skies so that they could be observed by witnesses. This is documented. I did this for one scientist, Dr. Juan Arents, of Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, who flew me over there for that purpose. Now for the purpose of this letter: The UFO beings are giving you, President Amin, the choice of whether Africa is to be saved, or destroyed. That was why they let you see them; and let me see the article reporting it. They want you, sir, to bring me and my family over there for 3-6 months...to use your KILEK base as my operating headquarters...to bring the rains to Africa, and save Africa. They also want you...to reward me and my family for doing this...since my time in the U.S. from this six month's absence, and it will be quite a hardship for us to store our furniture here, give up our rented house, and come way over there. Let me spell it out...if you obey the UFO beings...then I will come over there and save Africa. If you do not obey the UFO beings...Africa will be pretty much destroyed by drought and other factors. It is up to you. If you like I will fly over there first and see you, without my family...to show you my credentials and ample documentation...but I assure you that is not necessary.

Never again. Beau and I...went to thank you, Ethel,...for the kind and warm hospitality which you showed us during our stay with you, I do hope that you are activating the mechanisms which I taught you. June 1973 Sage has some material on my work. 'nd "What The Sears Predict For 1971" Lencer pocketbook, by Fred Steiger, 3 years ago...I predicted on page 145 what is happening to President Nixon right now! Well, Ethel...as you know, Beau and I tried to trade you out of your pickup truck, simply because, as I told you,...the SI's communicated 'nd told me to do that. While you were thinking about my offer, we drove up to Chico to visit Al and Piler Bailey, who own the Chico Motor Lodge. You called and declined (perfectly natural to do so, considering.) That left us with our old beat-up car to get back to Virginia with. What happened next? I am still in shock from it. Al and Piler Bailey GAVE US their beautiful, lovely, luxurious Lincoln-Continental. They told Beau and I that we felt our work was far too important to risk allowing us to return to Virginia in our old beat-up Mercury! But were the SI's accurate in communicating with me...and instructing me to get a bigger, heavier car? Your pickup or, as it turned out,...the Lincoln-Continental, returning to Virginia, Beau and I were passing through Atlanta, Georgia,...when suddenly we were smashed INTO FROM BEHIND, without any warning,...by another car going 60 miles per hour! If we'd been in our '65 Merc, we'd have been hospitalized or killed. No doubt of it at all! The police arrested the driver of the other car. His car was totally demolished. Beau and I were not even shaken up. Our car simply had a 3-foot dent in the trunk, and we proceeded on our way as if nothing had happened! Safe and sound. Now, perhaps, you can see...the wisdom and tremendous precognitive ability of the SI's! They KNEW we were going to be hit in Atlanta, Georgia! And they were desperately trying to get a bigger, tougher car around us,...for when it happened! AND THEY DID. And we were saved. After the tremendous smashing crash,...Beau and I could not believe our eyes when we got out of our Lincoln-Continental. The other car was smashed to pieces... the front smashed in like an accordian,...headlights and other lights smashed out... then we checked our trunk,...no lights broken or even scratched...everything intact. Just a dent. My God Almighty. Talk about having invisible protection! We must have it! And on top of that...Beau and I didn't even feel the impact of the car smashing into us! Best wishes to you,...

He took me outside and explained to me how to control weather by use of the mind. How to make it rain, even with sunny skies...how to make lightning strike. He pointed his fingers at the sky and explained how to project certain forms of mental imagery, to produce rainstorms and lightning. When he was doing this, the weather was hot, with sunny skies. He explained that what he was doing should produce rainstorms and lightning, and that a small lapse of time might be necessary, perhaps days, for Nature to bring the ingredients to that area to bring it about. Several days later, after Owens had left, it began to rain and storm. There was lightning. Power was knocked out in some sections of our town. Radio and TV stations were put off the air. I swear that this is a true and accurate statement.

When Ed was only halfway through his turn into his driveway - a ¾ ton pickup truck simply "appeared" about 10-15 feet from Ed's auto travelling at a speed of 35-45 miles per hour on a collision course. The driver made no apparent effort to avoid an impact. The ¾ ton truck stopped about 4-6 inches from Ed's door - with its drivers head jammed up against the cab roof of the truck.

Sportshop owner Farrell Coppin had just returned from what had been the downtown area of Keefeton and couldn't believe what a tornado had done to the small community. "I've seen seven or eight dead," Coppin said. "They're just gathering them up everywhere. There are supposed to be some more in the houses." The Oklahoma Highway Patrol, however, had reported only four deaths and a hospital in nearby Muskogee said three victims had been brought there. Coppin and his wife, Lois, run a small sportshop and beauty salon about a mile from the downtown area of Keefeton. Both were at the business when the twister tore through about 5 p.m. "It come in from the west and it was a brownish gray color," Mrs. Coppin said. "It was just whirlin'. I could see it on the mountain where it was blowing the trees real bad." "It was something you'd never believe. It didn't have a funnel shape to it, it was just a square type box," she added. "It just jumped up on everybody," Mr. Coppin said. "It was all over before anybody knowed it. I thought it was just another storm." The center of the town -- composed of six or eight stores -- was destroyed. A Continued on Page 3, Col. 1 Continued From Page One grocery store owned by Otis Evans was demolished and officials were digging through the rubble because they feared several people might be buried there. Paul Pierce's service station was flattened and Civil Defense officials were concerned that fires might be ignited from the ruptured gas lines. After the storm had passed, all that was left of Leo Grebb's Dairy Delight drive-in was the neon sign. It still glowed. High voltage lines east of the city were also downed. A used car lot and junk yard owned by Keith Purdom was wiped out and the trailer where Purdom lived was missing. Debris from the businesses were scattered into an open field about a mile to the east of the main part of town. Many trees were uprooted and nearly every piece of foliage in the area had been picked clean of its leaves. Horses and cattle were left dead and crippled in the fields. The Coppins considered themselves lucky. "The tornado didn't do any damage down here. It just hailed," Mrs. Coppin said. "It's just about destroyed Keefeton, though," Mr. Coppin added.

Text Any textual data included in the document === **Page: 1 of 8** May 28, 1973 Warren Ted Otto George Al Last week, about Tuesday, I sent you a breakdown, SI info, on the Watergate gang setup. I talked about "suicides" coming up. Only took a couple of days, Congressman Mills suicided. He was on the fringes of the Gang, as you perhaps read, tied into the Gang with a personal loan of some sort. A big one. That's one. Incidentally, "Predictions For 1973" has a fine prediction by me on this Watergate mess situation. See "corruption in high government"...and "it will be discovered in 1973 that ours is no longer a government of, by, and for the people"! Take a look. See p. 72!! Now I've one more thing to add...to the info sent you last week. The "M/S" Gang, Mafia/Syndicate...is masterminded by powerful financiers in the world...Onassis, Howard Hughes, Hunt, and so on. THEY make the policy and steer the "ship"...and M/S is their muscle, carrying out the dirty-work action. Their purpose was to "take" the world...by first gaining control of the U.S., most powerful country...from the White House on down the line...so that they could make and dictate our policy, rig the Market, control things like the Russian Wheat Deal, drug control, firearm control, and so forth. And of course, with their combined finances...very little could stand up against them...since they could have anybody killed, anywhere, who opposed them. The ONLY shield against them...was principle, morals, ethics. Their money went over, under and around just about everybody's principle, morals and ethics...except a handful...Sirrica, etc...and only this handful, beat then THIS TIME. But...they'll be back with a "new ballgame" in time ahead. Ted Owens Box 48, Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 === **Page: 2 of 8** NATI... 6/4/73 Secretary of the Treasury. The money came from a $1.7 million fund administered by the President's personal lawyer, Herbert Kalmbach-the same fund that was later allegedly used to finance the Watergate burglary-and Mills failed to report the windfall to the Maryland Board of Elections, possibly in violation of state law. Unusual: No one accused Mills of any involvement in the Watergate affair himself, and officials from the Committee for the Re-election of the President explained that the contribution, though unusual (it was handed over in cash) was free of Watergate taint. "It would have been an embarrassment to lose that seat to a Democrat," observed one GOP topsider. "At the time we needed all the votes we could get in Congress." For the moment, Mills's only connection with the scandal seemed to be that he had fed from the same money trough that later nourished the Waterbuggers. But even that distant association hurt. "He wasn't wringing his hands," recalled one friend in Washington last week, "but he reflected great pain." Mills anguished for three days with his friends and family (a wife, Norma Lea, a son, 16, and a married daughter, 24). He denied any wrongdoing on local television near his shore home in Easton, Md., and in a taped radio message. Then a little before 7 the next morning, Mills left his house, drove to a nearby stable, Mulberry Hill Farm, went into the barn and shot himself through the heart with a 12-gauge shotgun. Several notes were found, one near his body, saying he didn't know how to prove his innocence-"there was no other way out." Friends were stunned. "He was so remote from Watergate," said one. "It was a tragic overreaction." Mills: 'A tragic overreaction' Waterbugger whose children have come in for some hazing. "You know how cruel other children can be." Egil Krogh's small son, Peter, got his baptism one day as he drove past the White House on a school outing. His classmates booed-and he burst into tears. But older offspring, at colleges and universities around the country, seem to be taking each day's developments in stride-maintaining the same stiff lip they always do when the talk turns to Washington. "This isn't a very good time to give interviews," said H.H. (Hank) Haldeman at UCLA recently. "It would not be helping my father." The first prize for good humor in the face of adversity probably goes to Joanne Haldeman. When a florist turned up with a potted plant from a well-wisher last week, Mrs. Haldeman told him to leave it on the stoop in the rain. She had a wry explanation: "I wanted to drown the bugs in it first." A Fatal Footnote The widening investigation into corruption at the financial wellsprings of the 1972 Nixon campaign claimed its first fatality last week: Rep. William O. Mills, 48, an obscure Maryland congressman-and protégé of former GOP National Chairman Rogers C.B. Morton-who found himself identified at the outermost fringe of the Watergate scandal, and chose death over that disgrace. The tragedy started almost as a footnote to a report on the President's 1972 finance committee released last week by the General Accounting Office. According to the report, the congressman accepted a $25,000 loan in 1971 from Nixon campaign funds. Mills used the money to bankroll his successful bid to fill the House seat left vacant when Morton signed on with the Nixon Cabinet as dent Agnew and John Connally both have their fortunes linked to the President's; Connally seized the Watergate opportunity to switch to the GOP as a Nixon loyalist. New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller and California Gov. Ronald Reagan see their chances rising in proportion to Mr. Nixon's injuries, but can only say as little as possible about the whole messy business. Reagan won't even concede that the Watergate 'buggers are properly classified as criminals ("They're not criminals at heart"). Mr. Clean: But Percy has clashed with Mr. Nixon before-over Vietnam, the ABM and G. Harold Carswell's nomination to the Supreme Court-and he sees Watergate as a chance to take the moral lead. Even though he clearly risks alienating GOP loyalists around the country, his Mr. Clean approach has brought him phenomenal success with Illinois voters, and he is betting that it will work as well nationwide. The President's Watergate message had barely faded from the TV screen last month when Percy introduced a Senate resolution-passed by 5-0 when the floor was nearly empty-calling for a special prosecutor in the case. "The executive branch should not be investigating itself," he declared. The President reportedly fumed at a Cabinet meeting that Percy was making a cynical bid for the Presidency, and predicted he would fail "as long as I have anything to say about it." But Percy was ready with a stinging counterattack. Said the senator: "I think it's absolutely ghoulish that the President would raise a political issue in the midst of a scandal that is shaking the country to its roots." Mess: Percy continued his campaign after last week's statement by the President. It was, he said, still too little, too late. Calling big money the root of most political evil, the millionaire senator has also proposed a campaign-spending reform act with stiff criminal penalties. The strategy may seem a little opportunistic to those who remember how the senator skirted Watergate last year in his own campaign. Indeed, when his outspoken wife began talking to reporters about "the disgusting mess" that was then just beginning to unfold, Percy all but kicked her in the shins ("Now, Lorraine..."). "Chuck does seem to rush up front at the last minute on some things," concedes a political ally. Conservative GOP leaders are more outspoken. "He's always looking out for himself," fumes state Rep. Henry Hyde. "This is the time the President and the party need help and support." But Percy maintains that even Repub- POLITICS: Percy's Gamble Jetting across the country these days, Illinois Sen. Charles Percy flips frequently through a pack of file cards bearing his latest Watergate wisecracks (one somewhat limp sample: "I have found far more support for my prison-reform legislation since Watergate broke open"). In a spate of personal appearances from Washington, D.C., to La Crosse, Wis., he bolsters his warm-up jokes with fat paragraphs of indignation. Watergate, Percy likes to tell the crowds, "is an outrage to decent men everywhere...and I am one of them." Some fellow Republicans question Percy's political decency, but he is certainly outraged. More than any other national political figure, and certainly more than any other Republican, Charles Percy has made Watergate his personal issue for now-and perhaps a solid base for a run at the White House in 1976. Percy's gadfly tactic is a sharp contrast to the pre-Presidential stance of his leading Republican rivals. Vice Presi- lican voters will respond to a candidate who tries to expose the full story of Watergate and cleanse his party in the process. "The man who picks up the pieces on this has to be independent," he told NEWSWEEK'S Tony Fuller. "If the price I have to pay for my independence is some criticism from the so-called professionals, then I'll pay it." 30 Newsweek, June 4, 1973 === **Page: 3 of 8** Hunt Said Not Incapacitated July '75 WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The U. S. Bureau of Prisons medical director said Saturday that Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt has symptoms "consistent with a stroke" but is not incapacitated, cited. Dr. Robert Brutsche said it is not anticipated that Hunt will be hospitalized or transferred from the federal prison at Danbury, Conn., where he is being held pending final sentencing for his part in masterminding the June 17, 1972, break-in at Democratic national headquarters at the Watergate complex. "It is a stable problem, without incapacitation," Brutsche said, while not ruling out further medical tests on Hunt. Washington Post writer Maxine Cheshire quoted Hunt's literary agent, Donald MacCampbell, as saying that Hunt apparently has suffered a stroke that left one of his legs partially paralyzed. Brutsche said the question of a stroke is "moot--it could be some other kind of illness." Brutsche said doctors "can place no time" on when illness began. But MacCampbell said Hunt believes it was brought on by a fight the convicted conspirator had in June with a cellmate in the District of Columbia jail. He was examined by doctors at Danbury after he complained of illness. The Post quoted MacCampbell as saying that Hunt, 54, has been "deteriorating rapidly -- both physically and psychologically." "He looks like an old man," MacCampbell said. "He was in such bad shape that he couldn't even draft a letter, I had to do it for him." Hunt, code-named "the Writer" while taking part in the Watergate and other operations, will soon have 17 books in print, according to MacCampbell. $CIENTISTS.... I predicted rather recently...that the key Watergate crooks...were all in great danger from assassination by orders of The Rich Gang...international and national financiers. Now, one of the biggest witnesses in the Watergate affair...is Howard Hunt. I predicted to you...or to Warren Smith for his oncoming book...that Mrs. Hunt, Howard Hunt's wife was murdered in that plane crash. No accident there. So now Hunt, inside prison, has a "stroke". Well, you say...if he were in prison...how could the Rich Gang get to him? Remember Jack Ruby? He's the man who unexplainedly and mysteriously shot down President Kennedy's alleged killer. (I knew Jack Ruby...he had to be ORDERED to do a thing like that...he wasn't a cuckoo.) All right. Of the way: Ruby killed Kennedy's killer: then Ruby DEVELOPED CANCER WHILE IN PRISON AND DIED. For your information...if you do not know it already...cancer can be injected into a human being deliberately. Not long ago some test tubes which contained cancer-producing agencies were stolen from a laboratory down in Florida...and a newspaper blurb warned the thief about it. One does not have to murder with gun or knife...one can murder by injecting an airbubble into the victim's blood stream...or injecting cancer-producing agencies into the victim. And my psychic ability tells me that that is what was done to Ruby. Now if Hunt suddenly, with no previous cancer history, expires from a sudden attack of metastasis...which is what I expect to happen...you will know that my psychic hunch about all this is correct. Of course, the Rich Gang could easily hire convicts they know who are in prison with Hunt...to fight with Hunt and injure him mentally so that he would all look quite nature, for prison doings. But I think...cancer-producing agents have been injected into Hunt. And it is quite possible...that the Rich Gang have just done this with President Nixon...when he went into hospital in July (same as Hunt, but with different symptoms...alleged symptoms.) So that Nixon will come down the picture, along with key witness Hunt. If the Rich Gang "has" a doctor in the White House situation...and why not? Look at the huge bunch of top people they have, who've been discovered...then that doctor could easily see to it that Nixon be given a shot for flu...except it contains cancer producing agencies. One other thing...I have pointed out in a recent communication...that non-pros were used by the Rich Gang to set up the "Almost" take-over of the U.S. by the White House Gang. Non-pros. Get that. Now think about this: President Kennedy was murdered with a rifle that cost about $13.00. An old, used rifle bought from a mailorder house. Robert Kennedy was === **Page: 4 of 8** murdered by a man who used a cheap Saturday night special .22 pistol. Governor Wallace was shot by a man who used an imitation Colt pistol... another Saturday night special .38, a cheap gun. I point out the obvious pattern. ALL THESE WEAPONS WERE NON-PRO WEAPONS. I wonder if I make myself clear. To kill a President...you would expect an elaborate, expensive high-power rifle. Not a used, $13 model using European ammo. To kill the President's brother, you would expect that an expensive pistol, fitted with a silencer, would be used. Not a cheap .22, a piece of junk. To kill a Governor...and with the man stalking his prey for weeks... apparently bankrolled by "somebody" to make it possible...you would have thought that an expensive, finely-tooled .45 or .38 would be used for that purpose. But no...a cheap, junky imitation Colt .38 was used...I believe made in Spain, or some such place. In other words...the incredibly intelligent brains behind these shootings...had their gunman-tool use a non-professional weapon, to make it look like a non-professional job. The whole slough of top White House men who have been apprehended... were not pros...they were picked that way and patiently maneuvered into position...so that if things went wrong, it would not look like a professionally set-up job...non-pro...just "something a bunch of fellows cooked up themselves." The shootings...and the near take over of the U.S. from inside the White House...HAD TO HAVE THE APPEARANCE OF NOT HAVING BEEN PLANNED INTRICATELY. Non-professional, as it were. The trademark of a top "hit" man...is to make his murders look' like accidents, or "something that just happened, like a heart attack". Ted Owens (PK Man) PS...oh, just one other thing. In National News Exploiter, a Chicago publication, in their issue dated September 17, 1972...they had an article on me...accompanied by three photos. One photo was of Liz Taylor and Richard Burton...because in the article I was predicting that those two would get divorced. They are now in the divorce courts. There was a photo of President Nixon...because in the article I stated "President Nixon won't complete his second term in office. He will either resign, or be forced out." Under the photo of Nixon it says, "President Nixon will be unable to finish his term." Well, you are watching what is happening at Watergate now...and you know that this week a move was made for Nixon's impeachment in Congress. === **Page: 5 of 8** union MESSAGE CONFIRMATION COPY 7010 TED OWENS BOX 49 CAPE CHARLES VA 23301 July 19, 1973 P043311203 NL TDMT CAPE CHARLES VA 100 07-19 0411P EST PMS SENATOR SAM ERVIN CHAIRMAN SENATE COMMITTEE WATERGATE, DLR CAPITOL HILL DC AM ONE OF WORLDS MAJOR PSYCHIC.

Mills (R., Md.), was found dead, apparently of a self-inflicted shotgun wound early Thursday, five days after disclosures that he had received secret financial aid from the Nixon campaign organization in 1971. Mills was found by a caretaker about 7:05 A.M. in a barn where he kept his horses on a farm near here. He usually went to the barn early every morning to feed the horses. A hospital official said Mills suffered a large shotgun wound in the chest and was dead on arrival at Easton Memorial Hospital. Talbot County State's Attorney William D. Horne said that "there is no evidence of foul play." A hospital spokesman, asked if it was suicide, said: "He was shot at close range, he was by himself -- what else could it be?" Mills, 48, was an administrative assistant to Interior Secretary Rogers C. B. Morton when he was a Maryland congressman. He succeeded Morton in a special election in 1971. House Speaker Carl Albert (D., Okla.), canceled the day's business. Flags on all Federal buildings in Washington were lowered to half-staff. "The news has shaken us all," Albert said. It was the second tragedy to hit Mills' office in a little more than a year. His three top aides, including campaign manager James Webster, who UPI Telephoto Rep. William Mills and Nixon in 1971 Rep. Mills Apparently Is a Suicide Continued from Page 1-A was alleged to have received the secret funds, were killed in an auto accident near Annapolis, Md., on Feb. 3, 1972. Mills had been under investigation for failing to report to state election officials a $25,000 cash contribution to his 1971 campaign that allegedly came from secret funds obtained by the Finance Committee to Re-elect the President. Mills denied several times this week that he had done anything wrong. Wednesday night he called the Easton, Md., radio station WEMD about 10 P.M. and reiterated the denials. He added that he was aware of the money but had been told that "all spending approvals and all reporting were being handled by a committee in Washington." "I wish to assure everyone that I have done nothing wrong," he said in his last known public statement. In Washington, Rep. Bob Wilson (R., Calif.), who was chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee in 1971 and a friend of Mills, said that he asked Mills if he was telling the truth in denying the reports. Mills said that he was, and Wilson said he told him, "Then you don't have anything to worry about." Morton said that he arranged for the Nixon Finance Committee to provide the money to Mills' campaign, but that he had never discussed the contribution with the congressman. Hugh W. Sloan, former treasurer of the Nixon campaign organization, has told Congressional auditors that the $25,000 was part of $1.7 million which was secretly raised and disbursed before the Federal Election Campaign Act went into effect April 7, 1972. After the special election in 1971, Mills signed a notarized statement reporting a total of $9,395 "received by me or by any person for me with my knowledge or consent, from any source." SCIENTISTS... I wrote to Warren Smith, Brad Steiger, Otto Binder, Al Bailey and George Delevan, last week... that murders-to-look-like-suicide would soon begin to happen amid the Watergate Gang. It only took two days until after my letter... till Mills' "apparent suicide". That... is one. There will be more. Especially in great danger are the key figures talking to Sen. Ervin, plus Martha Mitchell and her hubby. And McCord, Dean and CIA Helms... hed better watch out, or they'll be a "suicide" right quick.

A Marine Corps spokesman identified the pilot as Capt. Eric L. Rooth, 30, of Bay City, Matagorda County, assigned to the 112th Marine Reserve Fighter Attack Squadron based at the air station. Rooth was rescued moments after he bailed out by an LTV Aerospace Corp. helicopter and was taken to the air station hospital, where he was reported uninjured. The LTV-built jet fighter crashed into the unpopulated Mountain Creek Lake Wildlife Preserve east of the lake. Marine Corps and federal investigators were called to the scene to determine the cause of the crash. Gunnery Sergeant Jerry Simmons, public affairs chief, said Rooth was concluding a routine training flight at 4 p.m. when he ejected from the craft for unknown reasons. Simmons said Rooth's ejection seat and parachute were found in a wooded area about 200 yards behind the crash site. The aircraft plowed a 3-foot-deep hole at the point of impact and slid another 150 feet before coming to rest. Dallas firemen reported small fires in the fuselage section and the cockpit section, which broke away from the main body of the plane and lodged against a tree 50 feet away. Marines on the scene said the plane apparently was intact when Rooth ejected. They estimated the pilot was flying at an altitude of 300 to 400 feet at the time. The plane reportedly was flying directly over some power lines at the moment of ejection. -Staff Photo by Jery Dickman INSPECTING WRECKAGE of an F8 Crusader jet are two Marines from the Naval Air Station at Grand Prairie.

Most of the World's more extreme climatic zones face droughts - and occasionally flooding - from time to time. But this year freak weath-er conditions have coincided in widely separated parts of the globe, ruining already inadequate agriculture and stretching relief reserves to the limit. Millions of people are going hungry as a result of droughts in Central Ameri-ca, Asia, and Africa. Even Cyprus, in the Medi-terranean, is experiencing its lowest rainfall for 80 years and the winter grain crop has failed almost com-pletely. This comes after food pro-duction per head fell for the second successive year in the developing regions of the world. Production of food rose by one percent in 1972, but the population rose by four per cent. HOTTEST This means that in many countries - with the hottest summer months still to come - there is simply not enough food to go around. In India one of the worst droughts in years has so far affected about 200 million people - slightly less than the entire population of the U.S. The government has had to rush grain by special trains to relieve the situa-tion in the western state of Maharashtra where at least six people have been killed in recent food riots. Reserve stocks of grain built up in years of good harvests are virtually ex-hausted, and the outlook for the summer months is grim. DROPS In the neighboring Hima-layan Kingdom of Nepal, British Royal Air Force transports have dropped nearly 2000 tons of food into famine-hit areas which have had two bad crop years. The Nepalese government has described the situation in some parts as "the great-est food crisis we have had in our whole history." India's southern neighbor Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, rarely suffers from the crip-pling droughts which plague India, but nevertheless was hit by the failure of last year's spring monsoon. RECOVER Further to the east, Indo-nesia is only just beginning to recover from the effects of a drought which persisted through the last six months of last year. Indonesia was forced to import some 1.3 million tons of rice in 1972, but estimates for current production are optimistic. The effects of even one bad harvest can be disas-trous; seed stocks are de-pleted, food reserves run down, and farm animals are often left to die when famine forces humans to compete for the same food and water supplies. Drought does not avoid the scene of previous natural disasters. In the Central American republic of Nica-ragua, struggling to over-come an earthquake which devastated its capital last December, the water short-age is critical. Central America's worst drought in 30 years has caused total crop damage estimated at $100 million, and has provoked a state of emergency in Costa Rica and Honduras. IMPORT All the members of the Central American common market - Costa Rica, Gua-temala, El Salvador, Nica-ragua, and Honduras - face large import bills for food to replace ruined domestic sup-plies. But Guatemalan weather-men say the worst may be over. The first rains of the season are beginning to fall in Guatemala and El Salva-dor. The largest area hit by this year's rash of world-wide droughts is a 2000-mile strip of West African territo-ry south of the Sahara des-ert, and unlike other areas, there is no prospect of immi-nent relief. From the Atlantic coast of Mauritania to the barren wastes of Chad in the center of the continent, no rain at all has fallen this year. The drought is also crip-pling much of Senegal, Mali, Upper Volta, Niger and parts of northern Nigeria, disrupting the livelihood of more than 25 million people. Crops are one-third of what they have been in the past, and hundreds of thou-sands of cattle and sheep are dying of thirst. International aid has so far been out of step with the extent of the catastrophe, and the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organiza-tion (FAO) estimates the crisis will continue for an-other five months. In northern Ethiopia, on the other side of Africa, riv-ers and ponds are dry and hundreds of cattle are dying because of the drought which has prevailed there since Christmas. As in many other coun-tries, the chronic shortage of grain in parts of Ethiopia has led to hoarding, which in turn leads to soaring prices, and increases the plight of the poorest. Scientists agree that the droughts and freakish weath-er over many parts of the world may signal global changes in climate and some experts are even won-dering if another Ice Age is on its way. rays back into space. Some American research-ers have noted that in the five-year period the mean temperature of the atmo-sphere in the northern hem-isphere fell by more than half a degree centigrade, but were careful to say that this was likely to be a short-term fluctuation. Some Soviet meteorolo-gists maintain that the cli-mate of Northern Europe, Asia and America will get "markedly warmer" by the year 2000 and link this with the known recession of the polar ice. Whatever the long-term implications of the present widespread droughts, the problem of those countries affected - which by a cruel accident of fate are for the most part "underdeveloped" - is present and immediate. The American Nobel Peace Prize winner Norman Borlaug, who started the "green revolution" with his new strains of high-yielding cereals, has called for a world food bank to be set up to solve the problem. Dr. Addeke Boerma, director of the FAO, showed how far the world is from achieving this when he told the Paris newspaper Le Monde recently: "The world's present stocks of cereals amount to only 30 million tons, their lowest level since 1952. But since 1952 the world's population has increased by half. The present reserves are only equivalent to what the Unit-ed States consumes in seven weeks."

Our system of politics will begin to break down on a massive scale. This will cause an upheaval among the people of the U.S. on a scale never before witnessed. Run, or try to run, the country from behind the scenes. - More corrupt politicians in high places will be exposed, and punished. - The people of the U.S. will be sickened by the wrong actions, and wrong-doings of our top politicians. They will begin to take action to bring this country back under the control of its people as it once was. There will be large-scale political assassinations. - The political scene, in 1973...will be a "no-men's land," a "mine field" it would be well worth staying out of. -- Ted Owens" Then turn to page 36, same book: - "Anarchy and rebellion will be the password for 1973. - ....There will be a national "mania" against war, warlike leaders, and anything to do with war. - In 1973, it will become clear that the U.S. is no longer a government of, by, and for the people. -- Ted Owens " In the same book I predicted that there would be more tornados than usual in 1973 (you just had 217 tornados in a week! Never before happened on record.) and that earth changes would be utterly shocking. The year is not yet over...and it already HAS been utterly shocking! Then, if you'd like to pick up a copy of Brad Steiger's "What The Seers Predict For 1971" (Lancer paperback) have another shock: - "President Nixon will not end in office. Something most unusual will occur, and he will either resign or be forced out of office. -- Ted Owens." As far as I know...none of the other "great psychics" picked this up on the precog line, and certainly not that far back. Ted Owens (PX Man) === **Page: 2 of 4** June 9, 1973 TO MY SEVEN SCIENTISTS.... Here you can read about the result...of my using other-dimensional power all last winter...to control the jet stream in the upper atmosphere...to cause a "summerlike winter" (which in fact effected mostly the east coast.) As you know...I informed you in advance that I would work to control the weather over the U.S. last year...then after winter was over, I sent you the results of the whole thing. This article also points out the drought situation...which I predicted to you some time ago. Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens 7 === **Page: 3 of 4** ODD WEATHER: NO END IN SIGHT THE NATION has been suffering what could be its most freakish weather in history-and forecasters see no immediate end to it. What's happened is this: * The heaviest accumulation of rainfall ever recorded in the East, while the Northwest was experiencing a drought. * An unprecedented volley of tornadoes-accompanied in many cases by flash floods-that is likely to make 1973 a record year for twisters. * Floods that sent the Mississippi River and its tributaries to new highs and damaged crops over a vast area. * Winter blizzards where they were least expected-far to the South. What's behind it all? Officials at the National Weather Service put much of the blame for the odd weather on shifts in the capricious jet streams that flow through the upper atmosphere. Dr. J. Murray Mitchell, a federal climatologist, offers this explanation: During the winter, the "subtropical" jet stream-which should have been down around Central America-was instead flowing west to east across the Southern U. S. and dominating our weather. As a result, heavy snowstorms hit from Georgia to the Carolinas while Northern areas remained relatively unscathed. Some major cities in the Northeast got no measurable snowfall. In the latter part of May, Dr. Mitchell notes, those same west-to-east "storm tracks" were running through the Southern and central parts of the country, rather than shifting northward as they usually do in late spring. The results: A disastrous series of tornadoes-196 in a four-day period-and thunderstorms hit already waterlogged Southern States over the Memorial Day week-end. At the same time, Western Plains States near the Canadian border were waiting for their usual spring rains, and crops were in peril from Oregon to Minnesota. What's ahead. By the beginning of June, meteorologists said they had yet to detect signs of a normal summer pattern. Allen Pearson, the Government's chief tornado watcher, commented: "I think we're going to have one more big blow in the South, then the tornado activity will move northward." The official count of tornadoes this year now stands at more than 700, and forecasters say it appears a sure bet to go over 1,000 for the first time. The Weather Service predicts more cool, rainy weather for the Southeast through this month, and little relief for the parched Northern Plains. See map on page 102. Effect on crops. The freakish winter-spring weather cost farmers heavily in some areas; in others it was a touch-and-go situation whether late-planted crops would make it. A survey of "U. S. News & World Report" bureaus in the hardest-hit States showed this: Southeast. Farmers are quickly catching up on delayed planting, but an early frost this autumn could spoil their plans. About 45 per cent of Georgia's peach crop was lost. Arkansas and Mississippi are recovering swiftly, but much of the farmland in Louisiana is still under flood water. About 2.6 million acres are not expected to dry out in time to be planted. The estimated loss in Louisiana: about 100 million dollars, plus additional losses to oyster and shrimp harvests. Midwest. Warm, dry weather gave farmers a break in the breadbasket States of Iowa and Illinois. Corn is about 80 per cent planted, compared with a 90 per cent average at this season. Soybeans have been delayed, but the planting season runs to June 15. In Michigan, 59 per cent of the corn crop is planted, compared with a normal 70 per cent. In Ohio, it's 55 per cent, compared with 80 per cent normal. West. The coldest weather since 1932, plus a spring deluge of rain, hurt California's agriculture, but it appears to be rebounding. Greatest damage was to citrus fruit, particularly navel oranges. Northeast. Hay and potato crops are doing well-but they are the exceptions. Delays in planting, and cool spring weather, are likely to cut production of corn, vegetables, fruits and berries. Dr. Mitchell, of the Environmental Data Service, is not optimistic about what may follow the present weather pattern. Recalling the "dust bowl" years of the 1930s, Dr. Mitchell says: "This may be a funny time to talk about droughts, but I think that is what we ought to worry about, not more rain. Every 20 years for the last 100 years we have had a serious drought in the Plains. It's just about time again-and every time the drought has been preceded by several years of heavy rain." Many observers point out that a prolonged dry spell could force large food imports and make today's food prices and balance-of-payments problem seem small by comparison. A new worry. If drought possibility isn't enough for concern, the Weather Service announced that it had activated its hurricane-warning network on June 1-opening the season when tropical storms may start to spawn over the Atlantic Ocean. -Photos: Wide World, UPI Oklahoma 'twister was one of record number which hit U.

NEWS & WORLD REPORT, June 11, 1973 31 === **Page: 4 of 4** Worldgram (continued) U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT, June 11, 1973 Hunger, mainly resulting from drought, is rising in Africa, India, China. As things look now, the coming year could be one of the century's hungriest. In India, as the first touches of monsoon rain reach the hills, drought and famine are threatening at least 20 million people with hunger and starvation before October's harvest. So far, deaths are minimal. But worse is to come. Bangladesh, miserable after civil war, has promises of enough grain from U.S. alone to supply 6 million people for a year. More is needed. Mainland China, with one bad harvest last year, faces another. Drought or floods mean food shortages, hunger, and increasing unrest ahead. West Africa is struggling through the worst of five to seven years of drought. Six former French colonies are hardest hit-Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Upper Volta, Senegal. Millions of cattle, unknown numbers of people among the 10 million threatened have already died. U.S., once beset by grain surpluses, now has not only grain-short Russia but much of the world lining up to get what grain the Americans can spare. Africa needs help "THE UNVOICED NATION is dead life is cheap for these folks." That was one journalist's ex- planation of why the current drought in Africa has generated so little con- cern. The drought, the worst in 60 years, threatens 6 million lives in the west and equatorial African countries of Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Sene- gal and Upper Volta. Spokesmen for these nations say drought has destroyed half of their livestock. Observers report nomads always are littered with animal car- casses. People are flocking to the larg- er cities in search of food. Many have already died. July 16, 1973 Africare 220A R. Street, NW Washington, D.

Sincerely, Ted Owens (PK Man) San Francisco Chronicle 13 Thurs., June 14, 1973 Dry Spell Worst in 25 Years Early Warning on the U.N. Drought Alert Rome The United Nations' early warning system for famine is signalling a red alert. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) lists 28 countries stricken by drought this year, the most prolonged series of dry spells, the worst in 25 years. It has killed cattle and reduced crops in wide areas of Latin America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. San Francisco Chronicle May 18, 1973 A Tragic Drought Strikes in Chad Fort Lamy, Chad Lake Chad, once a limitless source of food and water, today is but an enormous mud flat stretching as far as the eye can see in the shim- mering heat. Fish lie dead in dug- out mud, which is so deep that villagers cannot wade out to pick them up. There is not enough water for them to use their canoes. This is but one of the trag- ic consequences of the drought which has ravaged Chad and neighboring south- ern Saharan countries for years now. The lake has shrunk to a third of its normal size and for the first time it is possi- ble to wade across parts of it to Nigerian. The Year of the Famine Across the face of India last week, angry mobs were on the march. In Agra, they looted grain shops. In Limdi, they mashed the cars of the rich. In Lindi, they plundered a government ware- house. And in the town of Dhamaj, they stormed the home of a local politician, seized tons of rice and cattle feed that he had been hoarding, and stoned to death a policeman who tried to stop them-dragging his body through the streets in a ghoulish parade of triumph. The rioters were born of hunger. Their land parched by drought, their crops dead on the stalk, their cattle dying, some 200 million Indians face the threat of a disastrous famine in the months ahead. The looming catastrophe is not con- fined to India. A tragic mixture of drought and crop-destroying floods has crippled rice production in a number of Southeast Asian nations ranging from Bangladesh and Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) all the way to the Philippines. In China, which has just begun to pro- duce enough to feed its 800 million peo- ple, an estimated 40 million are con- fronting the grim prospect of hunger months ahead. The situation in Africa is even worse. The most severe drought in 60 years has turned vast portions of six impover- ished West African countries-Maurita- nia, Senegal, Mali, Upper Volta, Niger and Chad-into arid wastelands. "If the rains do not come soon," warns Mouritada Diallo, a regional direc- tor of the United Nations Economic Com- mission for Africa, "nearly 6 million peo- ple may die."

Ted Owens (PR Man) Box 48, Cape Charles, Va. 23310 === **Page: 2 of 2** A4 Virginian-Pilot, Thursday, July 19, 1973 Noted British Actor Dies LONDON (AP) - Actor Jack Hawkins, who often played the role of the stiff-upper-lip war- time English officer and gentle- man, died Wednesday in a Lon- don hospital. He was 62. Hawkins, who had his larynx removed in a 1966 throat can- cer operation, had undergone surgery in New York in April to implant an artificial voice box, one of the first to volun- teer for such an operation. But he never healed from the oper- ation and soon after his return to England he was forced to en- ter St. Stephen's Hospital where he began hemorrhaging. His wife Doreen said: "He was so brave, I just can't tell you. It was remarkable. He never complained and that was what broke my heart." "It was very courageous of him to become a guinea pig. It would have been marvelous for fellow sufferers if he had recov- ered. I am so sorry it did not work." Hawkins did manage to make some films after his initial op- eration. In 1967, he was coaxed into playing the part of a Brit- ish ambassador in "Catherine The Great" by coproducers Pe- ter O'Toole and Jules Buck. "It's ideal for me," he said at the time. "Every time I open my mouth to speak, someone inter- rupts me." The voice box surgery, which has been performed on less than a dozen patients, was in- tended to give Hawkins near-nor- mal speech. After his larynx was re- moved, he had learned to speak in what he laughingly called "burps," by forcing air from his lungs and stomach through his throat and mouth. A London-born actor who first appeared on the stage when he was 13, Hawkins en- joyed a career which spanned the era of George Bernard Shaw and modern Hollywood. He was only 14 when he was auditioned by Shaw - success- fully - for a part in "St. Joan." Hawkins was a London theater star before he was 20 and a stage contemporary of Laurence Olivier. He began getting small movie parts in 1935 and quickly shot to international stardom. After World War II, he ap- peared in screen classics like "The Cruel Sea," "Ben Hur," and "Bridge over the River Kwai." His imposing presence and personality fitted him per- fectly for officer roles. Hawkins in New York hospital (UPI) Hawkins interrupted his ca- reer briefly after the 1967 oper- ation. "When I knew I would lose my voice it was pretty shatter- ing," he said. "I could scarcely overcome the black moods of depression that I felt because I no longer could speak." In "Catherine The Great," just a year after his operation, other actors dubbed in the lim- ited voice parts. Hawkins said at the time he would rather re- tire than take jobs offered out of pity, but he said O'Toole and Buck spent nine months con- vincing him that was not the case. Hawkins was the sixth major film performer to die in two weeks. The others were Robert Ryan, Veronica Lake, Joe E. Brown, Betty Grable, and Lon Chaney Jr. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

July 22, 1973 Stone Tells How He Assisted Nixon By MORTON MINTZ Washington Post News Service WASHINGTON-President Nix- on twice told Chicago insurance magnate W. Clement Stone that he would not have been elected in 1968 had it not been for Stone's gifts of money-$2.8 million- and of the philosophy known as positive mental attitude. "On two occasions," Stone said, the President "gave me the highest honor that I will probably ever receive, from my viewpoint. He called me aside and said, 'Clem, you know and I know that I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you.'" Stone, the President's principal contributor, made the disclosure on KUP's Show, a television pro- gram broadcast in Chicago by WMAQ last Sunday. An aide to Stone said Wednesday the Presi- dent expressed his thanks to Stone at Camp David, Md., after the 1968 election and again at a dinner. On the program, Stone recalled that once he said he would have spent any amount of money to elect or re-elect "one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of all presidents." "How much were you ready to go for?" asked columnist Irv Kupcinet, who conducts the pro- gram. "Ten million dollars," replied Stone, who gave the President $2 million in 1972, for a four-year to- tal of $4.8 million. "Now, keep this in mind," Stone said May 28 in an interview with Michael Ryan of Granada Television in Britain. "Every- thing is relative. With a family worth in those days (the 1960s) better than $400 million, what's a million or two, particularly when you can change the course of his- tory, according to the principles for which you stand?" Stone emphasized that he also helped Nixon by introducing him to positive mental attitude (PMA) in 1964, when the Presi- dent was national chairman of the Boys Clubs of America and Stone was a director. Every member of the organiza- tion's board was exposed to PMA concept, and "I know for a fact" that Nixon "and his family have been exposed to it." Stone told Kupcinet, "I know that the books (on PMA) are in the White "I found this terrific change in this man, this drastic change, an almost 180-degree turn from somewhat of a negative personal- ity to a positive personality," Stone continued. "I worked with him. He was exposed to PMA, and I realized that perhaps this was my one chance in an entire lifetime in which I could change the course of history for the bet- ter." Praising the President as "a man of integrity," Stone indicat- ed to Kupcinet that he had been disillusioned little, if at all, by the Watergate scandal. "Previous to the Watergate hearings, I predicted that under the PMA philosophy with every adversity there is a seed of an equivalent greater benefit," Stone said. He went on to predict "that the revealing of these things" in the Watergate hearings "will be one of the most wholesome things that could have happened and that Nixon in time will come up with a mandatory, enforceable code of ethics that will try to pre- vent a recurrence of Watergate at any level of government." Stone said he believed that "not a dime" of his $4.8 million went to any of the improper acts associated with Watergate. He said he based his belief on the fact that, rather than being solic- ited, he "provided the seed mon- ey. I was the one that was going to change the history of the world, so they didn't have to ask me. So I got in early." During the 1968 campaign, Stone said, Maurice H. Stans, chairman of the Finance Com- mittee to Re-Elect the President, who has been charged with ob- struction of justice in an indict- ment returned in New York City, and Herbert W. Kalmbach, Nix- on's personal attorney, came to him for advice. Stone said he told them that "if you are aiming for a high objec- tive, you must go after large sums." Replying to a question about the disclosure that the President taped all of his phone calls and conversations, Stone said, "I think it is perfectly proper for him to have done so for many, many reasons," including the HE densest fog of un- certainty still swirls around the head of Richard Nixon, who finds himself under in- creasing pressure to speak out more fully, release relevant White House documents and even submit to Congressional questioning. Within a few months, he had suffered an epic fall from grace. He had defused the Vietnam War as a national issue, won the plaudits of a grateful na- tion for his historic "voyage of peace" to Peking and Mos- cow-and been returned to office by one of the largest margins of modern times. Now, suddenly, the polls were reflecting a startling loss of public confidence, the once- recumbent Congress was challenging his authority - and he found himself on the defensive, backing and filling before the outpourings of Watergate. An insistent press and a querulous Congress are ask- ing just how much the Presi- dent knew, how much he cov- ered up. The answer to these questions will largely deter- mine not just the future of Richard Nixon's Presidency THE NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE/JULY 22, 1973 41 SCIENTISTS..... I doubt...that any of you documented these two startling newsclips. These two newsclips, here on this page...is the key, the answer... to "Why Watergate". First, note what the fabulously wealthy Clement Stone...one of the "rich gang" I've talked about before... states in this article. He was willing to give Nixon ten million... almost anything, really for the thrill, the kic if you will...of being instrumental in "changing the course of history." Note espec. that he uses this phras not once, but three times. Next...see the New Yor Times magazine article clipping. See what Magruder...a member of the now-infamous White House Gang...told Port THE EXACT SAME PHRASE WORD FOR WORD USED BY CLEMENT STONE OVER AND OVER! I.e., wealth wasn't motivating this crowd power, only incidentally...what WAS motivating these national and internat moneyed creeps...was the "kick" out of being able to manipulate and control history...to determine "the course of history". Of course...in this tremendous, whopping conspiracy...I am positive that key members may have been brainwashed. Sounds crazy, I know...but note that Stone points out that Nixon changed, after "being exposed to PMA". Also, this point would explain the uniformity of the thinking processes of the witnesses before the Senate Watergate Committee. Owens xPK/Mant === **Page: 2 of 2** 40 L Aug 8, 1973 THE NEW YORK TIMES Watergate Leaves Scars On Young Nixon Loyalist By STEVEN V. ROBERTS Special to The New York Times LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif., Aug. 4—For two brief days in June Herbert L. Porter testified on Watergate before a national figure, testifying about his rather small role in the Watergate drama. Then, the major characters took over and the Senate hearings he led him to the point where he now faces a possible indictment for perjury. Mr. Porter also harbors deep resentment for the men who ran the Nixon White House, the men, he feels, who asked to help conceal Mr. Liddy's activities, and he now faces a possible indictment for perjury. Aides Seen Misused "The original sin was not the Watergate bugging—that wasn't right, but that is not really the issue," he said recently, as the morning fog clung to the coast a few blocks away. "Nor is the issue really the cover-up," he continued. "That was almost a natural growth of the situation. We were in the middle of a campaign. What else do you do?" "In my opinion," he went on, "the original sin was the misuse of these younger people, not only through Watergate and the cover-up, but through the whole White House system. They were not criminals by birth or design. Left to their own devices, they wouldn't engage in this sort of thing. Someone had to be telling them to do it, to do their dirty work, and damn it, that's a crime!" That sounds a little "self-excusing," I suggested. "Well, self, or his former colleagues. They did not exactly fight off their seducers. They came to Washington, he pointed out, with vast ambitions, lured by the prospect of power and success, in the same way that young actresses still flock to Hollywood dreaming of the day when footprints will mark their footprints embedded in a sidewalk. At age 35, Mr. Porter looks like a slightly older version of the big man he once was on the campus of the University of Southern California. In fact, he was friends from U.S.C. including Ron L. Ziegler, now days." A Presidential assistant, who joined the Nixon Administration in 1970, after six months doing odd jobs in the White House, the Nixon White House, he shifted to the Committee for the Re-election of the President ing. In conversations with Mr. Porter, his family and friends, and became its scheduling director. Concealed Data on Liddy At the committee, Mr. Porter disbursed some money to G. Gordon Liddy, one of the organizers of the Watergate break-in, for what he thought to be "dirty tricks." As the Watergate cover-up expanded, Mr. Porter was the way who was asked to help conceal Mr. Liddy's activities, and he did. Why? Mr. Porter was a long-time supporter of Mr. Nixon, a native of the President's home Congressional district; moreover, he was eager to advance his own fortunes. But in addition to loyalty and ambition, he said, the explanation must include the atmosphere of the White House. It was a "heady place," he said, what with Henry A. Kissinger walking the halls and John B. Connally eating lunch at the next table. Watching the President leave for China was a rare chance "to see history in the making." Decisions were made every day that affected millions of people. "This 'mystique'" he went on, "enhanced by the judicious distribution of certain perquisites. An invitation to a White House event, it was very simple." David Mr. Porter has told friends, only half jokingly, that H. R. Haldeman kept a list of which young staffers he Herbert L.

If you doubt it...anyone who has known me, or published my predictions these past 5-10 years...will tell you that the U.S. stupidity in high government, current internal bickering and all; the lousy Vietnam war; and our U.S. wastage of treasure...I've been most outspoken about. As for Pendragon's second point..."a powerful individual"...I'd like to point out that I have accomplished several hundred miracles. That is POWER. As for his reference to "rise to power"...I hate politics, or any 'power' frame of reference...so cannot envision this for myself. But if I had it (which I do not, except for my own other-dimensional powers) you would not ever, ever, find any Watergate situation around my power position! Ted Owens (PK Man) [Signature] Virginian-Pilot, Thursday, July 12, 1973 A9 Thai Rainmakers Go Abroad BANGKOK - Thai rainmakers are planning two overseas trips later this year, one to West Germany and the other to Australia. Theparit Devakul, whose rainmaking techniques are reputed to be successful, said the visits would be their first demonstration trips abroad. Theparit, however, said the group would not be showing the Germans how to make artificial rain "but how to disperse the fog at Frankfurt Airport" using techniques developed in Thailand. He said the forthcoming trips demonstrated the growing interest among foreign governments in rainmaking techniques developed and proved in Thailand. SCIENTISTS...when I read this newsclip...I almost fell off my chair laughing. Thai rainmakers indeed. There is only one "rainmaker" in the world...and PK Man is it. Too bad they couldn't have a "rainmaking contest" in which rainmakers from all over the world would be invited to demonstrate their skill. I'd surely like to enter that. I could use the prize money, too. But it is interesting...to note that foreign governments are at last getting interested in "rainmaking techniques". Too bad they can't have access to other-dimensional power to make it rain.

An actual attempt must be made to force the door...in order to set off the loud device. July 15, 1973 SCIENTISTS Yesterday...startling phenomena with regard to me and my work, presented itself. Quite factual, I might add...and measurable, as you will perceive. During the afternoon I was teaching a pupil, Bill Quinalty, autohypnosis plus related skills...mental skills. Quinalty is a Journalist in the Navy...a highly intelligent 30 year old man...with a background in the study of parapsychology. After I switched off my Brain Wave Synchronizer and told Quinalty to open his eyes...he surprised me by asking me if someone else, a third party, had come into the room while he had his eyes closed and was in light-waking hypnosis. I told him, no, certainly not. But he was certain, quite certain, that a third presence had been in the room while he was being trained. Because other of my pupils being trained here had had similar psychic phenomena occur to them (see your file) I asked him to get down his impressions on paper, for my files and for a report to add to the other reports. He did so. Later in the afternoon he and I drove quite a distance away from Cape Charles to a highway restaurant called Cape Center. We went inside and took a table in a far corner...30 feet distance from any of the other customers. We sat there at the table in full view, the two of us. A waitress, approximately 20 feet away from us, who was cleaning off a table, called over to us and asked how many of us were there for her to serve? I looked at Quinalty and he looked at me. We were puzzled by her question, since obviously only the two of us were in our part of the room. I called back to her and asked her what she meant. Oh, I neglected to mention that she asked how many of us were there, "Are there three of you"? So I called back to her and asked her to explain that. She told us, "Why, I thought I saw another person sitting with you!" (See statement attached). So here...within a 3 hour span...two different persons saw or sensed another person near me...a human who, in actual fact, was not there! It is my understanding that, in the study and research of parapsychology...if two or more persons witness the same psychic phenomena...there is a solid basis for the validity of the psychic occurrence. It is in this light, and framework, that I make this unusual report to you. Ted Owens (PK Man) PS...by the way, last Thursday night an attempt was made on my life, to the best of my knowledge. It was around 3 AM in the morning when the burglar alarm went off with a loud noise on my bedroom door. (I had just obtained this alarm device recently.) I leaped out of bed, unlatched the door...and as I did so I heard footsteps running from the kitchen out onto the back porch, heard the screen door there slam, and the steps run across the back porch out onto the night. As you know, an attempt was made on my life two years ago by three armed men who had a loaded automatic and a shotgun in Norfolk. I reported this incident to the local police. === **Page: 3 of 4** July 14, 1973 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN While in a training session with Ted Owens at his home, on this date, 3:30 PM in the afternoon...after I opened my eyes, having been taught how to use autohypnosis...I asked Owens if anyone had entered the room while my eyes had been closed. He said no. I asked if he had closed the door. He said no. I informed Owens that, while my eyes had been closed, I had sensed a third presence enter the room (opening and closing the door and coming into the room) and coming close to me, observing me (while he, Owens, was seated at his desk, giving me instructions for autohypnosis)...and finally I had felt a strong impact, the only way that I can describe it, on my body, from this third presence in the room. /s/ Bill R. Quinalty Bill Quinalty Box 375 Shelbyville, Indiana NOTE TO SCIENTISTS: With relation to the above, Bill Quinalty said "it was so weird; it was so real. I thought one of your family had come up into the room." Now, why is the above of any significance? See past file material on related phenomena...by other pupils I have taught here...who sensed or saw phenomena at their hotel rooms! It is another "pattern" of phenomena...which, when two or more people have the relatively same phenomena occur...becomes significant...and this makes five different pupils now who have had phenomena occur here for training...and all these five were from different geographical areas, and strangers to each other...and came separately, at different times. (Exception, of course, would be the husband and wife combination who both experienced the same phenomena.) Ted Owens (PK Man) /s/ T. Owens === **Page: 4 of 4** July 14, 1973 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN AT 6 PM Bill Quinally and I (Ted Owens) seated ourselves at a table at Cape Center Restaurant to have dinner. The waitress called over to Bill and I from a distance of 20 feet away: "How many of you? Are there three of you!?" Bill and I looked at each other, puzzled. We were sitting at a table by ourselves, no other people within 30 feet. I called the waitress over (remembering that Bill had experienced sensing a third person present in my office today, when in fact there was none) and asked her why she had asked if there were three at our table? She said, "Why, I thought I saw another person sitting with you!" I was stunned. Two different people today, strangers to each other, and in different locations... had seen or sensed another person near me! (This reminded me of when I gave my lecture in Cleveland, Ohio, and afterward a woman came up to the stage and asked me who the man was who had been standing beside me on the stage during my lecture. I told her there was no one. I had been alone. She was upset then, and frightened, insisting she had seen a man beside me. I was amused at that time, and thought her to be over-. But not after today! Who or what is it that is near me?) Ted Owens (PK Man) (Home) Capeville, Va. 23313 + Donna Snoehlich Waitress, Cape Center, Cape Charles, Va.

Dear Ted: Enclosed find a copy of my new Script No. 2 "Jesus the Christ - His Greatness and Divinity." The covers are yet to be printed and then the binding. Few pages, due to margin trouble, I am doing over. I expect to have the book-Script ready for distribution by September. The tenets of the Script-message expressed from an Aquarian Age mystic viewpoint is an answer to anti-Christ-God communism. Jewish communism's program demands the erase of the name 'Jesus Christ' from face of the earth. That Name is poison to the Jews. The Script will also be 'charged' or 'anointed' with the RADIANCE, and all sensitive to vibrations of spirit will notice the fine-electrical energy-radiation from PAGES of this Script. This Cosmic experience, alone, will be most astonishing for those seeking 'awareness' or 'contact' with Spirit by their physical senses. Of the Emissaries of the Aquarian Age Spiritual Awakening and Co-workers with Cosmic Intelligences, I consider you one of the greatest on the earth plane. You represent certain Cosmic Higher Beings governing man's spiritual advancement, that will be enhanced during the Aquarian Age, therefore, I am giving you the privilege, if you so desire to accept, to write an 'Introductry' of few comments to this Script. I am enclosing parts of "Introductry" Dr. Clements wrote several years ago for my books...give you an idea expressing your comments. I would like to have it, if you do so, before September, so may print and insert before binding. You may examine message in this Script to get an idea of the Cosmic Truth expounded. You may keep this unbound copy. Will send you an autograph copy after bound in September. Sincerely, Guy C. Harwood. === **Page: 2 of 2** b. spiritual progression, instead of immorality, war-mongering, brutality, and pro-communistic, approximately by 1977, many of her cities will, one morning, be found lying in ashes in many respects. Then chaos and religious dilemma shall be the general order of a war-mongering, brutal and sex crazed society. (This could have a social or actual physical meaning) But America was meant to be great. Man, the epitome of creation, is the highest form of the expression of LIFE. The Quickening Life Principle makes man's magnificent and glorious body a living, pulsating Temple 'possessed' by a 'reasoning' and 'creative' Entity, which is the 'likeness' (creativeness-inventive nature) of the SUPREME ONE. The Entity, dwelling within the Shrine (the physical body, while on the earth plane) is the 'I', the 'Thinker', the 'Doer' and is an instrument for the expression of LOVE in its many degrees. Here and there a small 'Flame of Spiritual Enlightenment' is being intensified among a few earthly citizens and the Sacred Enlightenment 'imbued' with anointing Power is serving a purpose in laying the ground work for greater Spiritual Progression. In the early morning hours of this incoming Aquarian Age, Emissaries and old, old Souls, from Higher Dimensions of Life, are amidst humanity. Their labors of love and Spiritual Precepts are being felt in the consciousness of humanity. Great Spiritual MYSTICS are on earth today teaching of the 'Religion of LOVE and ITS Holy Imbuing Power', in aiding man on his 'Spiritual Path-way of Life'. To only mention a few: Master Kirpal Singh; Master Charan Singh; Meher Baba; Saiya Sai Baba; Swami Krishnananda; Ma Ananda mayee; and Mother Kanya Kumari Stan of the Sri Aurobindo Mission Work in India. In America we have Franklin Hall; and also Ted Owens, that great Spiritual Emissary between earth-man and Intelligences of certain Cosmic Beings. In America Great Entities of Christian Evangelism are influencing the consciousness of man, to only mention a few of a long list: Oral Roberts; T. L. Osborn; Billy Graham; Cecil Todd; Rex Humbard; Rev. Ike; Rev. Al; C. T. Buchanan; C. S. Upthegrove; W. V. Grant; and LeRoy Jenkins. And the list is long, regardless of religious faith, of those unselfishly serving as loyal instruments for the 'healing virtues' of God's LOVE to manifest through - blessing untold thousands of people over the earth, inflicted with inharmonious conditions of their body.

Knowing that you have other problems pertaining to so many other people. I have indomitable faith in you and the 3.I's. My letter of grave concern is pertaining to the people of the drought area in Africa. As you know 15 million Africans men,women,children,and cattlt are affected by this drought. Realizing the grave situation that affected the lives of Biafra in 1968-69 of mass starvation,when the federal government of Nigeria invaded Biafra in their civil war. And now another mass starvation that is threatening of the drought stricken area,which consist of have of the population of Black America. Also realizing the situation of many starving and dying African children,because of the attitude of the federal government of Nigeria's civil war. I was inclined to send a letter to the President of Senegal,Leopold Sedar Senghor,which I did. Asking him to contact you,the only human on this planet,that could resolve the drought problem. I told him in the letter that it was not up to you or me or the the problem in Africa. But it was up to the higher powers(3.I's)if they wish to do or not to do for their own reasons. In my letter to President Senghor I stated that he could also send a copy of the letter to you. I told him that I cannot speak for you or the 3.I's in any given case. But I would like for the resolvement of this problem attracted to the World attention that you and the 3.I's and the powers of their dimension do exist.

As you can read...in this newsclipping from today's newspaper...the ionosphere vanished over Hawaii at the time of the earthquake there last April. According to scientists, this was so mysterious as to "smack of science fiction." As you will note...from the attached file...June 7 letter to you...I was working to cause such an earthquake at that particular time...but in (Disregard mention of demonstration for Stanford Research Institute in that letter...I cancelled that project a few days after xeroxing, because of personal reasons.) Also, once again...I enclose copy of my Nov. 12, 1971, letter to you...notifying you of my intent...to produce "demonstrations in the skies and heavens overlooking our earth..." This was brought out again in enclosed letter to you of August 9, 1972. And, let me point out...I have documented, on two different occasions...extreme weather phenomenon caused by my other-dimensional work and in collaboration with the SI's (UFO entities). You have it in your files. Now here again...once more...you have another indication of my powers; and my powers linked together with the UFO entities. Add it up. I notified you that I would produce phenomenon in the skies and heavens overlooking earth. Then I notified contacts that I would produce an earthquake within a certain time period. One was produced...off-target somewhat, but in the time frame specified...AND AT THE TIME OF THE EARTHQUAKE THE IONOSPHERE VANISHED! Something that has deeply shocked and mystified the scientists. Truly, a phenomenon produced in the skies and heavens overlooking the earth, wouldn't you say? And before closing...please note that the Navy's Omega Navigational System...long-wave length radio signals employed to guide ships far at sea, "began drifting and not making any sense." Sound familiar to you? Heard it somewhere before, but you just can't quite recollect? Let me refresh your memory. Years ago...a flight of military planes left Florida and flew out into the Bermuda Triangle. They vanished (like the ionosphere over Hawaii.) But even more amazing...before vanishing...they managed to radio they had lost all sense of direction...their instruments had gone crazy. Remember? Fit these two pieces of the puzzle together and they match. And keep bearing in mind that a team if NASA scientists found a UFO base inside the Bermuda Triangle...the team led by "Dr. Wright". If you are deeply interested in Truth...and fact-finding re the UFO mystery...and PK Man linked up with the UFO's...put all of the above together...and think about it. Ted Owens (PK Man) === **Page: 2 of 5** thquake that shook Honolulu last as the strongest in 100 years, and it omes out that it may have been the ngest ever. It was the day the ionos- ere disappeared, and scientists have yet o explain it. By Frank Carey Associated Press HONOLULU EARTHQUAKE SCIENTISTS say some mysterious happenings-smacking of sci- ence-fiction-occurred in the atmosphere about an hour before a major temblor rocked the largest of the Hawaiian Islands last April. "It's too much like Buck Rogers-we have no explanation for it yet," says Dr. Augustine S. Furumoto, of the University of Hawaii. Perhaps it was just coincidence, but that earthquake had many peculiarities as- sociated with it which deserve the atten- tion of seismologists. An hour before the earthquake rocked the coastal town of Hilo on Hawaii Island -about 200 miles southeast of Oahu Is- land, where Honolulu is located-he said these events occurred: * The radiowave-reflecting layer of the ionosphere some 50 miles above Oahu "suddenly disappeared"-that is, for some odd reason, the layer did not reflect radi- owaves sent up from the ground. * The Navy's "Omega Navigational Sys- tem," a sophisticated system of long-wav- elength radio signals employed to guide ships far at sea, "began drifting and not making any sense." But then, right after the earthquake, the ionosphere began reflecting again. As I say, it was too much like Buck Rogers.... As for the Navy's 'Omega,' which had begun drifting about an hour before the earthquake, it hit its maximum drift just about the time of the occurrence of the quake and then began to recover.... The April 26 earthquake, centered off- shore about 12 miles northeast of Hilo and about 35 miles deep, registered 6.2 on the Richter scale-the same reading recorded for the temblor that virtually leveled the Nicaraguan capital of Managua some months ago. It was the strongest 'quake to strike the Hawaiian Islands in more than a century and apparently only its off-shore origin prevented more serious property damage and human injuries. As it was, buildings were damaged in downtown Hilo; there were several inju- ries; and there were numerous landslides in suburban Hilo. And buildings shook in downtown Honolulu, 200 miles to the northwest. In the latter connection, Dr. Furumoto said another peculiar thing about the quake was that "our (seismographic) in- struments ... in Oahu ... kept on vibrat- ing...." "The ground vibrated for about two hours ... (after the quake was first regis- tered) ... whereas it should have died off in about a half-hour or 45 minutes.... "We're still trying to figure out the rea- son for this." Furumoto said detection of the missing ionosphere before the earthquake was an unexpected outgrowth of a new University of Hawaii research project. The venture is aimed at developing an "innovative, reliable warning system" for tidal waves, or "tsunamis." The quest is based on findings by univer- sity researchers that a certain type of earthquake shock-wave called a "Ray- leigh" wave, long known to be a precursor of tidal waves, can be detected in the at- mosphere as well as in the ground. That is, while certain Rayleigh waves are transmitted horizontally through the earth, some others sometimes "rise" vert- ically and are transmitted upward through water and the atmosphere as sound- waves. "And these vertical risers-resulting from earthquakes that fracture the ground in an up-or-down direction as distinguished from sideways sliding-are rated as the ones as- sociated with major tidal waves. Furumoto said these vertical-risers spread upward to the ionosphere-the blanket of electrified air that acts as a re- flector of radiowaves from the earth-and, in effect, leave characteristic "finger- prints" in the ionosphere. Finally, these "fingerprints" can be de- tected by special radio signals sent up from ground stations. The scientist said that, an hour before the earthquake occurred, radio signals of the latter type, which were being used in routine experiments in the tidal-wave ven- ture, began failing to return. And this, he said, provided a tip-off tha the ionospheric blanket-at least above th Oahu stations-had temporarily disap- peared. It also provided scientists with anoth mystery to probe. === **Page: 3 of 5** d.

See enclosed copy of letter to Al and Piler Bailey, dated March 11, 1973. I had also notified Stanford Research Institute, and others...that I would to produce quakes. It took over 30 days...but well within my 60-day limit. Four quakes measuring 3.5 on the Richter struck below San Francisco. Below there, the Mexican coast was hit by a 5.0 quake. And Hawaii was hit by a quake that "shook the island like a rug." My "target shooting" therefore, was a bit off...but I did hit the target, if not the bullseye of the target. Now, today I communicated with the SIS's (Control)...and requested permission to give a further demonstration to Stanford Research Institute in days, weeks and months ahead. They agreed today, although a few weeks ago they had nixed this request. So now I will go ahead. What I am going to do, to impress Stanford Research Institute, is: (1) Cause power blackouts. (2) Cause earthquakes. (3) Make wild storms. (4) Attack with lightning. (5) Cause weird, freakish things to happen in that (San Francisco) area. ("that word above is freakish) - particularly water connected) (6) (by the people do nutty things) And...will try to cause all of this...as soon as possible, but with no time limit on it, in order to get the full range of effects.

Enterprise-Record, Saturday, April 28, 1973, Page 5A April 12, 1973 Temblor Shakes Mexican Coast MEXICO CITY (UPI) - An earthquake shook the southwestern coast of Mexico Wednesday morning registering 5.0 on the Richter scale. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties. The Geophysics Institute of the University of Mexico said its seismograph recorded the quake here at 6:51 a.m. in either bombing. April 12, 1973 Fontana Quake FONTANA (UPI) - The fourth earthquake in two weeks shook the Fontana-Rialto area west of San Bernardino, measuring 3.5 on the Richter scale. One Rialto man was knocked out of bed, but otherwise there were no reports of damage. All the recent quakes, including the latest one Tuesday night, registered between 3 and 3.5 on the scale. $3 Million Damage Toll From Quake HILO, Hawaii (UPI) - Clean-up and repair began Friday as the damage toll soared to the $3 million mark from a rumbling earthquake which "shook this island like a rug." Teachers straightened out four schools closed in the aftermath of the worst quake in Hawaii in two decades while merchants cleaned up stock shaken off shelves and covered broken windows with plywood. Mayor Shunichi Kimura of Hilo, the city of 26,000 which suffered the brunt of the Thursday temblor, said reports from outlying area of the "big island" of Hawaii had pushed the damage estimate above $3 million. He said extensive damage to homes occurred in the remote regions. The quake flattened one building, hospitalizing a man who was briefly trapped inside with a broken leg, damaged hundreds of homes and 11 schools on the "big island" and swayed buildings and triggered landslides on other islands in the 50th state. Several dozen persons reported minor injuries. Kimura estimated it would take "months and months to get the town back in shape" and said he plans to seek federal and state aid for the quake victims. === **Page: 5 of 5** PS. I am going to make an earthquake in the San Francisco/northern California area within 60 days. Do a demonstration for scientists. Necessary. Wear your dries and you're okay! March 11, 1973 Dear Al and Pilar... am getting off today the disc to Esperanza in Venezuela. It's in the envelope, and will go to the post office in 10 minutes. Thank you. Tell you whet, Al. Forget my lecture at the college. All I want to do...is just train a few, select pupils while I'm in California soon. The SI System is priceless to my pupils. A man I just trained...who'd been all over the world...just wrote and told me that what he'd learned in the 3 days here...had been the best thing in his whole life. He also sent me a gift, a Panasonic cassette recorder...which is a dendy. Jim Ferguson, in Ohio. My pupils...are very valuable to the SI's, since they get advanced mental training...thus superior minds. The reason it is necessary...for future pupils to send in their donation in advance...is because I'll need to find out whether I fly or drive out there. There's a difference, and it will depend on the monies I receive in advance. Tell me more...about the radio messages you received in 1952. Go into detail, Al. My family will not be coming. I'll be much too busy training pupils...to try and cope with the problems of transporting the family. You mention the TV station...I've been on 34 TV programs thus far, so am familiar with them. Haven't seen a TV station yet that wouldn't put me on with a day's notice, once they see my documentation and find out I'm for real. Will enclose some forms in case you get any response from your newspaper ads. Your ad could go: "Ted Owens (PK Man), world-famous psychic and co-worker with UFO's, will be in Chico soon, to personally train pupils in ESP, autohypnosis, etc. For details write Mr. Al Bailey, etc." When they write...simply return the form letter to them. If you need more, let me know, Al. You and Pilar will get 10% of my earnings there...because you are acting as my informal agents. Okay? Line up ten pupils and I will train any those members of your family free. Best wishes... Ted Owens PK Man Yes, I did help the Dolphins win! It is thoroughly documented. But how did you know!?

My name is Ted Owens (PK Man)...and my ability to perform miracles...is rather well known in the United States. Around the world, as a matter of fact (see Australian newsclips). On two past previous occasions...I have ended years-long droughts over two different countries...and given those countries all the rain they needed. The reason that I am writing to you...is that I understand that a gentleman by the name of Mr. George Gibson recently wrote to you from Oakland, California. He sent a copy of his letter to you. I have not had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Gibson...but he is obviously more intelligent than anyone else, in what he recommends to you. I can absolutely assure you...Mr. Gibson's observations, in his letter, are completely accurate. My great wish, at this time...is to be sent for by African officials...and allowed to help the African people by use of my powers, and the powers of my allies...UFO entities with which I have worked for years. Nothing would give me greater pleasure...than to be able to help the 13 million African people affected by the present killer drought. And President Senghor...as Mr. Gibson states, it is true...that I am the only human being in the world capable of saving Africa. Therefore it is my hope that you, or other African officials, will bring me and my family over there...so that I can perform this service for the African people...and give them rains and water, in great abundance.

Have you been feeling a little tired? Run down? I feel you do, we'll get back on top. Now I'll be praying for you. Maybe I am assuming more than I should, but there it is anyway. I think you'd better be getting our friends awaiting on both of us. I don't feel adequate to contact them, but I respect them. I did ask for protecting of my husband's the store as we had a armed robbery last week. I am thankful that the guns had blanks, although they haven't been caught. If they would only impress someone to suggest. I'd send you the biggest check to help you with your work. I wish also that they will repair my bridge of my nose. It has deteriorating. I can't get any thing faith into H. feeling your face is sliding away. Scientist Note: Here is another case of this people living kept safe in dangerous circumstances.

They have shown me how...to code 20-40 discs with OD mechanisms...then spread the discs over a huge farm in Canada...forming in effect one huge coded disc...making a "target" for Nature itself to link up with...in order to produce favorable weather and growing conditions for crop production. Of course, all the power involved is positive, constructive. So far, in my experimentation with this, it has been successful over quite a long period...utilizing a thousand or so acre farm in Saskatchewan, Canada. I hope to expand this work...to cover other farms and ranches...in order to be able to document it even more widely and thoroughly. For instance, below is a news clipping this week from the local Virginia paper. It is too bad...that some of these farmers could not contact me and set up a coded-disc area around their farm...to bring not only favorable weather for their crops, but also control of the insect infestation. Because the powers being used...are not within the framework of this world's physical laws...anything is possible, though it might not seem so to our scientists. I believe I have amply demonstrated that...by already producing several hundred miracles. My new project...told to me by the SI's just last week (and I had been standing by, for months, waiting for their instructions)...is to get around the world, putting things right that go wrong...by using OD mechanisms and powers (stopping destructive volcanos; blocking hurricanes from hitting land mass; and so on and on in a thousand different mediums). What they were waiting for...was someone to provide a financial base for me to work out of; i.e., to fund my ever-continuing work in psi-force and OD mechanisms (with a Foundation, perhaps)...and to bankroll my flying, at a moment's notice, to any corner of the globe to "put out a fire", using my extraordinary powers. And last week a man came to me...from nowhere...to talk about just such a financial base! All of the above, of course...is positive and constructive...and they have "jumped me up" to a higher plateau...requiring much more issuance of OD power on my part...so evidently my mental power has grown much more, this past year, or they would not consider me ready for this assignment. Going back to the first paragraph...I have the knowledge, ability and mechanisms at my fingertips...to service an infinite number of farms and ranches...anyplace on earth...with favorable weather and improved crop production. The four giant UFO's that I work with at each side of Earth...will beam out the proper OD power to help those farms and ranches, no matter where they are on earth...each day...as I activate them. Ted Owens (PK Man) ## Worst Invasion in Decade ## Insects May Hurt Soybeans VIRGINIA BEACH—The most serious invasion of insects in more than a decade threatens to damage the local soybean crop valued at $4 million, an agricultural expert said Thursday. Virginia Beach soybean farmers, who farm about 25,000 acres, are the largest producers of the crop in the state. sion agent for Virginia Tech, said, "This is the first time in over 10 years that so many different insects threaten to infest the local crop." Although it is still early in the insect season, he said, the alarming aspect is that "five new species of insects have joined the usual two varieties to attack the crop." This year's harvest, which begins in October, is particularly vital because "a bumper crop ultimately would reduce the cost of food," according to Cockrell. Local farmers are expected to produce about 750,000 bushels of soybeans and "though it is difficult to project the price per bushel at this year's harvest, it should be about $5 and thus yield almost a $4 million crop," he said. That would be twice the worth of the average harvest. "To head off any possible infestation, three crop-dusting planes are spreading insecticide over the fields just as in the full swing of the insect season," he said. Most of the crop is in Princess Anne, Blackwater, and Pungo boroughs. E. R.

Text Any textual data included in the document === **Page: 1 of 2** August 31, 1973 Dr. Jax Fogel....Dear Dr. Fogel: I respectfully propose a proposition...for an experiment in the field of the mind...your own field...based on other-dimensional effects plus parapsychological effects from this dimension...proceeding along scientific lines, with respect to proving out the validity of the findings. You yourself will not have to do anything. I will conduct the experiment, assemble a giant-sized PK (psychokinetic) experiment; assemble the proper documentation; and present the finished experiment to you at the finish for your inspection. This will entail months and months of very hard work on my part...and all that I ask is...if I am successful in the experiment...that you, or Dr. Hynek, or Dr. Targ, provide me with a signed, notarized statement describing the experiment and the degree of success. i.e., that statement will be my motivation to succeed in the experiment of the mind. This is the experiment: here in Cape Charles there are 2 or 3 pro football games on television each weekend of the regular pro season. I will find out each week, before the weekend, what games are going to be on TV here...then write to you before the games go on...telling you which teams I am going to control in the games coming up. i.e., I will write you on Tuesday or Wednesday that on the following Saturday, Sunday and Monday...I will try, with my mind, to make the Cowboys, Chiefs and Oilers lose their games in those days against their opponents. Then when the weekend comes up I will utilize my powerful PK ability to try and control the games, as sent to you in advance...then after the weekend is over I will clip the game results out of the newspaper for the continuing file, and proceed with the next week's letter to you telling you which teams I will try and force to lose, via psychokinesis. At the end of the season I will send you the finished file...plus a tally of my successes and losses...and if I am successful in controlling the teams 75%...that is, 75% success, at a minimum...which should be far above chance, if I were merely using precognition...then I get my statement. I would hope that this meets with your approval. As you know from a Contact letter not long ago...I successfully controlled a radar installation with my mind (and FAA nearly had a fit when the fact got out)...it was documented, with a signed, notarized statement from the government expert present. Well, since the UFO's that I work for and with insist that my mental power (power, not knowledge) is steadily increasing as time goes by...I submit that this pro football demonstration would be an acceptable way to measure, or check out, this allegedly increasing mental power. There will be no effort to injure players...just to force certain teams to make mistakes and errors and thus lose their games. I would also try to cause power blackouts in the stadiums of the games that I am attempting to control...we would keep track of this; or, I would...and I would attempt to make weird, unusual things happen at the games, also. i.e., the experiment would be much like my control of the Apollo 16 flight where I called Dr. Hynek and told him that I would "give the astronauts fits" then I proceeded to do so. I would be giving the key teams each weekend "fits" to try and make them lose their games. === **Page: 2 of 2** 2 Now, the /31's (UFO entities that I work with) had previously instructed me to cease this experimentation of using PK or psi force in sports... and to stand by for a new assignment. And I had done so up until two weeks ago...when suddenly they communicated with me and told me to fly to different points of the world, blocking hurricanes from hitting land, stopping volcanoes which might be threatening humans, and so forth. I.e., to act as a sort of "fireman" around the world, employing my knowledge of other-dimensional effects to create miracles to help the human race (my first assignment was to work to end the killer drought threatening that country...13 million people are supposed to die from it, at this point in time, according to the experts...) All right...this action of the 31's placed me on a new, higher point of the psychic spectrum...calling for a greater psychic power output on my part to control huge major disasters, or disasters in the making. So evidently the 31's have measured my increased mental power and found it to be adequate to handle the new assignment. Now, I had a way to do this...obviously the new assignment would be very expensive. A millionaire XLA drove here to Cape Charles from Florida, with his wife...and offered to set me up in Florida with a foundation (non-profit) and subsidize my work completely. He is famous (name of Dick Rose; is one of a group of six young millionaires, all under 30 year of age, who have pooled their wealth and are working as a team...I had read about him in Newsweek or some such magazine last year). He also gave Otto Binder the go-ahead to write a book about my life, which will be published in about a year from now...paying Otto $5,000 to do this. Well, I asked the 31's, in my way of communicating with them...if it would be all right to do this pro football experiment for the benefit of four scientists. They said yes, they would allow it...BUT THAT IF I BECAME ACTIVE IN THE NEW ASSIGNMENT I MUST DROP THE PRO FOOTBALL EXPERIMENT AND FORGET IT...IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT THE MORE IMPORTANT ASSIGNMENT. I.e., if the Florida millionaire flies me to Africa to end the drought there...then the football thing will be off and finished. You may wonder how I could end a drought covering a land expanse as large as that of Africa. Well, I have done this twice in the past...ended the United States 6-year East Coast drought; then ended a 2-year killer drought in India. Ordinarily I do not have to I GO THERE...but now I do, because the 31's want to dramatize the entire thing for the human race; they have accomplished many miracles...with only a handful of people aware of the fact (35 contacts). I will stand by on this pro football experiment and not proceed...unless I get a letter from you, or Dr. Targ (of SRI, who wrote me not long ago that he wishes to follow my work, or Dr. Sprinkle, or Dr. Hynek...that this experiment is on, and that I will get a statement provided I am 75% successful in the project. If I get such a letter from one of this group, then I will proceed. By the way, before closing: note the giant earthquakes (Mexico, Hawaii, etc.) and the lightning attacks over the country; the devastating heat; the floods, and so on. Then if you wish to check back in my contact letters you will find that I notified my scientists quite a long while back that the 31's four huge UFO's positioned around our earth...were going to bring this to pass, and that it would necessarily be rough on the human race. cc: Dr. Russell Targ; Dr. Allan Hynek; Dr. Leo Sprinkle Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A Kenyan witch doctor has written to the national team manager, Sir Alf Ramsey, to offer his services to ensure victory. Sharriff Omar Abubakr describes himself as one of East Africa's leading witch doctors and this week wrote to the manager. "Dear Sir Ramsey, I understand that England is anx- ious to win back the World Cup in Munich and that the chances of this aim are rather slim. I am interested in signing a one to two-year contract with you with a view to improving England's chances...." England won the World Cup winner in 1966, still has a tough qualifying match in October, against Poland, which must be won to ensure a place in the last 16 finalists. Abubakr, currently guiding the fortune of Kenya's most successful club side, The Breweries, described how his powers work. "I forecast the result of a game and then make it happen. The first step is to fast. I abstain from sex and recite prayers from the Koran. "During the game, when an opposing player gets the ball, I often make him see double or even turn the ball into a snake. If the opposing player gets near the goal, I can make the ball go wide of target or if my players begin to get tired I can make them full of life again," he said. Abubakr said he wanted to turn his powers to the international field. "If I have no luck with Sir Alf, I shall try to sign up with a club in Germany." Many East African soccer clubs use the services of witch doctors but the Kenyan Football Association recently began a campaign to expel them from the coaches' benches. "Although it is difficult to legislate against the prac- tice," said the association secretary, Ian Situma, "We are alive to the problem and intend to take every step to stamp it out." "Players should be encouraged to train hard if they want to succeed instead of relying on witchcraft—which does not help at all." Most club officials and witch doctors themselves do not agree on that statement. Major teams for years have purchased the talents of medicine men to cast spells on their opponents. Recently, however, one match had to be abandoned because the 22 players became involved in a brawl over a witch doctor. Several players were disciplined and the football as- sociation of Kenya began a campaign to discourage the use of witch doctors. Witch doctors such as Sharriff Omar Abubakr often become wealthy as a result of their work in soccer and some find their services are much sought after. NY Times Sept 2, 1973 PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL TEAMS IN THE U.S. Gentlemen: I am, once again...offering my services... to help your team get to the Super Bowl, and win it. My power...is thousands of times stronger than the African witchdoctor that you can read about here in this newsclip... and he is currently using the powers of his mind to help the top team in Kenya. At least, I seriously doubt if he has been able to create three simultaneous hurricanes; control a radar installation with his mind; control an erupting volcano with his mind; and so forth...as I have done, all documented, and working under the observation of seven scientists. What fascinated me when I read this article in the New York Times was...without his having any personal knowledge of how I work in controlling sports teams...HE USES SOME OF THE VERY SAME METHODS AND MECHANISMS. If I work for you and your team...I will attend each and every game your team plays...and use the one-in-a-world powers of my mind (said to be the most powerful human brain in the world by a noted scientist) to make your opponents drop the football and fumble and miss and create situation after situation for your team to score. IN DOZENS AND DOZENS OF PRO FOOTBALL GAMES OVER THE YEARS I HAVE USED MY POWERS TO BRING ABOUT MIRACLES TO ENABLE MY TEAM TO WIN A GAME. Having an "ace in the hole" like me to work for you...to help make your team a Super Bowl winner...could be of priceless value to you Send me $25,000 for my year's work, plus a credit card so that I can travel about the country to follow your team and help it... and you will have all of my fantastic power backing your team this year. And I will keep it in the strictest confidence. First come first served.

Two men who claim they were taken aboard an unidentified flying object by three creatures with crab-like hands and pointed ears definitely underwent a "terrifying experience," according to two scientists who questioned the men under hypnosis. Allen Hynek, chairman of the astronomy department at Northwestern University, and James Harder of the Aero-Phenomenon Research Organization and the University of California spent several hours interviewing Charles Hickson, 42, and Calvin Parker, 18, Saturday night. The two Mississippi men told the Jackson county sheriff's department they were fishing off an old pier on the Pascagoula river Thursday night when they saw a strange object approaching in the sky, emit- ting a bluish haze. The men, reportedly "scared to death and shaking all over," told officers they were taken inside the craft by three creatures with big eyes, crab-like hands, wrinkled skin and pointed ears. Harder said the men's experience as reflected during hypnosis was "traumatic", adding "their emotions and very strong feelings of terror are impossible to fake under hypnosis." Hynek who was scientific consultant to Project Bluebook a study concluded by the U.S. Air Force on UFOs in 1969 said: "There is no question in my mind that these men have had a very terrifying experience. Under no circumstances should they be ridiculed. Let's protect these men." Harder said the phenomenon has happened all over the world and seems to follow a definite pattern. "A UFO tale is an incredible tale told by credible persons" Harder said. Although the men were able to be hypnotized Hynek said "their experience was so traumatic that it was essential to progress slowly." Sheriff Fred Diamond said he believed "something" happened to the men because they were "scared to death and on the verge of a heart attack." Associated Press 9/15/73 More UFOs Sandersville, Ga. Two more unidentified flying objects appeared over South Georgia last night to keep the week-long mystery going. Witnesses first reported a very small object in the southwest, its color chang- ing from red to green to blue and then to gold, moving within a small area. Later, a second object, larger and multi-colored, was reported in the northwest. It eventually turned white and dwindled in size. Both objects were visible at the same time, witnesses re- ported. United Press San Francisco Chronicle *** Mon., Sept. 10, 1973 New Reports Of UFOs Over Dixie Savannah, Ga. Authorities checked out more reported sightings of unidentified flying objects in the southeast yesterday, but quickly dispelled a fear that something from another world had fallen in a Georgia field. The Georgia State Patrol said a glowing green cylinder found near Manchester Saturday night, shortly after several persons said they saw UFOs buzzing the area, turned out to be only a commonly used automobile trouble flare. But reports continued to pour in, from police and civilians. Two military police men said something dived at their car near Hunter Army Air Base south of Savannah and forced them off the road. A State Patrol trooper based in Manchester said a UFO whisked past his car, going so fast there was "no way" he could get a close look. Police in five east central Alabama cities reported sightings early yesterday. United Press The Space Signals Soviets Picked Up Moscow Soviet scientists have picked up radio signals that could come from a technically advanced civilization, Tass reported yesterday. The agency said the signals, which had never been heard before, came at regular intervals for a few minutes and were repeated several times a day. They were picked up in four widely separated parts of the Soviet Union and it was clear they were not due to local disturbances, it said. Professor Samuel Kaplan of Gorki University, where the signals were first detected, said, however, that it was too soon to be sure whether they were natural or artificial. "It is possible," he said, "that they come from the upper layers of the atmosphere, but it is not excluded that they are sent by a technically very advanced extraterrestrial civilization. For the moment, one thing is sure - the signals do not come from satellites launched from the earth." Agence France-Presse San Francisco Chronicle **** Wed., Oct. 17, 1973 === **Page: 2 of 36** 10/26/73 South Is Besieged With UFO Reports From Wire Dispatches Southerners besieged in the last week by reports of UFOs have reacted in some instances by proposing an ordinance to guarantee the civil rights of extraterrestrial beings and by inviting the strange objects to a gathering in Texas. Recent, renewed reports of UFOs - unidentified flying objects - continued late this week. Most were in the South. In Palacios, Tex., Mayor Bill Jackson announced the first UFO Fly-In at the city's municipal airport for Sunday afternoon. He said he had never heard of anyone welcoming suspected visitors from outer space and decided to try it and see what happens. The Ocean Springs, Miss., City Board rejected a proposed ordinance this week that would have governed and controlled "the operation of UFOs within" the city limits. Undeterred, City Atty. Oscar Jordan proposed making alien spacemen subject to city ordinances. His proposed ordinance would make it illegal for UFOs to travel through the city at more than twice the speed of sound and declares: "It shall be unlawful for any person or persons to discriminate against such alien beings as may be transported in UFOs because of their race, creed or color, or their national origin, or international origin, or universal origin, or any other origin." Meanwhile, the reports of weird flying machines and weirder beings continued. In Falkville, Ala., policeman Jeff Greenshaw said he responded to a call Wednesday night about a spaceship with blinking lights. He said he found no spaceship, but did find a metallic-looking creature in the middle of the road. "I got out of my patrol car and said, 'Howdy, stranger,' but he didn't say a word. I reached back, got my camera and started taking pictures of him," Greenshaw said, adding the creature began running when he turned on the blue lights atop his cruiser. "I jumped into my car and took off after him, but I couldn't even catch up with him in my patrol car," Greenshaw said. "He was running faster than any human I ever saw." Greenshaw said the creature moved like a robot, made no sounds, had no features on its face and had a point on top of its head. There were other sightings reported, and one was withdrawn. Police said a Gulfport, Miss., cab driver who had said earlier in the week that an alien being stopped his cab had admitted that he lied. And in Austin, Tex., a nonprofit research corporation set up a multi-colored display of flashing lights hoping to attract UFOs. The project, sponsored by the Association for the Understanding of Man, was begun Thursday night. It attracted eight carloads of interested persons the first night. Others in widely separated parts of the country say they have seen flying objects shaped like cigars, footballs and pieces of pizza. A Georgia man claims he saw one land and out pranced two men dressed in silver. Some were in patriotic red, white and blue. Others glowed orange and green. Almost all the UFOs people said they saw either hummed or whistled or whizzed. UFOs in Ohio, Bay Area Columbus, Ohio Dozen of unidentified flying objects were reported by citizens and police officers in southern and central Ohio last night. The objects, mostly described as orange in color, were reported in several areas including Columbus, Coshocton in east central Ohio, and in the southwestern part of the state at Middletown and Greenfield. Two police officers in Greenfield, Ohio, chased separate unidentified objects more than five miles. "I never believed in UFO until tonight," Sergeant Hugh Oyer said. "Some guy tried to tell me it was a star, but no star I've ever seen made a humming sound or jumped up and down in direction like that or was so near the ground." In the Bay Area hundreds of residents saw a strange bright orange light streaking through the skies last night at about 10:20 p.m. There were guesses as to what it was, but no definite confirmations. Among many calls received by the Marin county sheriff's office were reports from two deputies. Sergeant Ken Froberg saw the streak from his station in Marin City and Deputy John Brunslik saw it from Point Reyes. San Francisco police also received more than a dozen calls. A spokesman at Vandenberg Air Force Base said no rockets were fired from the huge Southern California base last night, but he added there had been queries from several newsmen in the Los Angeles area where the strange light also was observed. There were many reports along the Peninsula, around the airport. Early yesterday morning, a rash of reported UFO sightings swept Mississippi and southeastern Louisiana. Those sightings brought appeals for a federal investigation. A Gulfport, Miss., taxi driver reported a blue-colored space craft stalled his cab and that a creature with crab-like claws tapped on his windshield as he crouched on the seat early yesterday. Other sightings were reported along the Gulf Coast and at Meridian, Miss. A.P. & U.P. === **Page: 3 of 36** Virginian-Pilot, Thursday, Oct. 25, 1973 C9 Real UFOs Behind Laughter: Physicist MIAMI (UPI)-Stanton Fried-man is a 39-year-old nuclear physicist and space scientist who believes that flying saucers are real and visit us from planets outside our Solar System. Friedman said many of his colleagues in the scientific community also believe in UFO's, but most won't admit it openly because of the "laughter curtain" of ridicule surrounding the subject. "Most people who refuse to acknowledge the existence of UFO's as manned flights from outside our Solar System do so because they don't want to bruise their egos," Friedman said. "Man has always fought the notion that he's not the master of the universe, and to admit the existence and reality of UFO's is to admit there is a superior intelligence somewhere in the Solar System." Friedman, a frequent UFO lecturer whose 14 years of work in nuclear physics has included the Pioneer 10 Jupiter probe, said a 1971 poll by "Industrial Research" Magazine showed that 54 per cent of the 2,700 professional engineers and scientists surveyed believe that UFO's "definitely or probably" exist. "This certainly disproves the notion that only little old ladies in tennis shoes believe in UFO's," said Friedman, who has his bachelor's and master's degrees in physics from the University of Chicago and has worked for Westinghouse in its astronuclear laboratory at Pittsburgh, Aerojet General Nucleonics near San Francisco, and General Electric's Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion Department at Cincinnati. He is a member of a number of professional societies. "It's ridiculous that a person who would make a perfectly reliable witness in court suddenly becomes unreliable and ridiculed when he reports a UFO sighting. "It's time we lifted the laughter curtain surrounding UFO's, get scientists into the act, and get the kooks out," Friedman said. "I believe it's time we mustered the top scientific talent in this country, spent some money, and began a hard scientific study to prove the existence of UFO's as extra-terrestrial vehicles and obtain information of real use in the development of advanced propulsion systems for use on this planet." Friedman objects to the "unidentified flying object" label being hung on all strange flying vehicles. "I like to think of UFO's as Earth excursion modules, or EEM's, since the reports indicate many analogies with our own lunar excursion modules," he said. "In both instances, we have strange looking craft landing in remote areas with humanoid looking creatures picking up samples, re-entering their craft, lifting off at high speed without any help from local workers, and sometimes rendezvousing with a mother ship and zipping off toward another planetary body. When viewed like this, it takes some of the mystery out of the sightings," Friedman said. === **Page: 4 of 36** Police, MPs see 'UFO' in Savannah SAVANNAH, Ga. (UPI) -- A Savannah policeman reported seeing an unidentified flying object in a residential area Saturday night a few hours after two military policemen reported another UFO forced them off the road near the Hunter Army air base. Savannah police Cpl. John Kitchell said a policeman sent to investigate a UFO sighting by residents reported seeing "a large circular craft something like a flying sau- cer." Kitchell said the officer de- scribed the craft as having "a large spotlight which changed color from red to green" as well as smaller blue flashing lights. Spec. 4 Bari J. Burns and Spec. 4 Randy Shade said an unidentified flying object dived toward their car and forced them off the road dur- ing a routine patrol around the perimeter of the Hunter air base early Saturday. The two military policemen said the UFO hovered near the car as they worked to free it from a ditch and then pursued them as they re- turned to headquarters to re- port the incident. The police report said the men saw "quick flashing lights, traveling at a high rate of speed from east to west, about 2,000 feet above ground level." The military policemen said they continued their patrol and about 10 minutes later the object "came in at tree-top level and made a dive," forcing the car into the ditch. The sighting Saturday night marked the third straight night UFOs have been report- ed in Chatham County. The reports have occurred almost nightly for the past 10 days over South and Central Geor- gia. Dr. Ralph Buice, an astron- omer at the Fernbank Sci- ence Center in DeKalb Coun- ty near Atlanta, said earlier this week the objects may be man-made satellites and as- sorted space "junk" dropping out of earth orbit. Buice said the decay of a satellite may produce unusual aerial phenomena for several days. A reporter for a Savannah newspaper, Marcus Holland, also reported seeing an uni- dentified flying object early Saturday about 30 minutes before the sighting was re- ported by the military police- men. "I was traveling at 70 miles per hour and it untran like it was tied to a post," said Holland. He said the object was headed toward the Hunter air field. Last Friday night, about a dozen residents in south Sa- vannah reported seeing an unidentified object, described as "bright yellow" in color. Witnesses said the object hovered for about three hours and then left. Another sighting was re- ported by residents and po- lice Thursday night at nearby Savannah Beach. Senator asks for probe into 'reckless' saucers ATLANTA (AP) -- State Sen. Franklin Sutton, D-Norman Park, has asked a Senate committee to investi- gate reports of flying saucers in his district. "I feel I must ask for an investigation ... of the high incidence in flying saucer penetration into the 8th Sena- torial District," Sutton said Thursday, his tongue jammed firmly in his cheek. Sutton made his request in a letter to Sen. Culver Kidd, chairman of the Senate Com- mittee on Economy, Reorgan- ization and Efficiency in Gov- ernment. He noted there has been a flurry of reported sau- cer sightings recently across much of the state. "They have violated the air space of Norman Park, Do- erun, Camilla, Morgan and Needmore. Not only that, they have interfered with one of our crop dusting planes," he added. "I don't know the reasons for them being in our area," he continued. "It has been suggested that they were blown north of their regular routes by Hurricane Delia. Whether or not this is true, I am not in a position to say." He added that "I feel that your committee can get to the bottom of this" and charged that "this is the most reckless bunch of sau- cers that we've had to con- tend with. "Due to their total disre- gard of safe operating proce- dures," he wrote, "they have flown into silos on the farms of Jim Mack Odom and C. O. Smith Jr. and completely de- molished them. It is also ru- mored that they are rustling cows and carrying them back to Mars to relieve the beef shortage there. Your immedi- ate attention to this matter would be appreciated." Sutton explained later that the two silos--both concrete-- had actually been knocked down. "They were up one night and down the next," he said. === **Page: 5 of 36** # Vary Pilot Oct 17, 1973 # They're Back in All # Colors and Shapes By United Press International It's red. It's blue. Sometimes it turns green. It has wrinkled skin, crab-claw hands, and pointy ears. It has a beard. It foams at the mouth. And the Russians say it may be trying to say howdy. It has been seen down by the old fishing hole at Pascagoula, Miss., out near the airport at Beckley, W.Va., in the piney woods of Louisiana, and in the hallowed halls of the College of the Ozarks in Arkansas. And it has been heard in Moscow. The UFO craze is on again with a vengeance. Two Pascagoula shipyard workers claimed they were hustled aboard a blue, fish-shaped craft by three weird creatures who gave them the once-over with an eyelike scanning device. A Northwestern University astronomer, Dr. Allen Hynek, said flatly the craft was from another planet. "Where they are coming from and why they were here is a matter of conjecture," Hynek said. "But the fact that they were here on this planet is beyond a reasonable doubt." The attorney for the two shipyard workers Charles Hickson, 42, and Calvin Parker, 18--said they were "just resting" Tuesday and would take lie-detector tests in a week or so to prove their story. Around the world in Moscow, Soviet scientists said they picked up unusual radio signals from space and did not rule out that they came from another civilization. The Tass news agency said the signals, of a type never heard before, come in pulses after definite lapses of time, last for several minutes, and are repeated several times a day. Tass said scientists have ruled out the possibility that the signals are from satellites launched from earth. "It is not precluded that they may be sent by a technically developed extraterrestrial civilization," the Russian report said. Tass said Prof. Samuel Kaplan of Gorky University was the first to pick up the signals. Later they were heard in other Soviet cities. At Pine, La., sheriff's deputies chased five orange-reddish flying objects 12 miles through the woods early Tuesday. "One of our deputies was scared pretty bad," said Deputy Michael Moore. "He turned on his red lights, and they came down at his patrol car. He turned them off and they just vanished like in a cloud." Pine and Pascagoula are 150 miles apart. Down the road at Slidell, across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans, Lloyd Mercier said he was driving home when he saw a UFO that was 20 feet thick with a streak through it. "All I could see was a red glow. It looked like it came straight out of the water. I've seen it tonight with my own natural eyes," Mercier said. "I have to believe what I see. It was no moon and it was no balloon, and it was no ship." At the College of the Ozarks in Clarksville, Ark., a "ghost-like bearded creature with long, gray hair who foams at the mouth" has been seen by students and faculty members hiding for four days. "He was last seen Friday behind McLean Hall," said Vernon McDaniel, a college official. Mrs. Fritz Ehren, wife of the vice president of academic affairs, and two night watchmen also said they saw the monster. Pilots at the Raleigh County Airport at Beckley, W.Va., saw a mysterious night flier that turned red, then green, then white. "It just kept moving away from me," said one pilot who chased the object in a small plane. "I couldn't get any closer. I don't think it was an airplane because the whole thing would change color at the same time." Other reported UFO sightings came from Gulfport and Meridian, Miss. === **Page: 6 of 36** # Spider, Astrodome, Geese Zip Around Oct. 18, 1973 By United Press International One looked like a spider and landed on a golf course not far from the Golden Gate Bridge. Another flashed like red lightning over the Atlantic Ocean off New Hampshire. And the Houston Astrodome flew over New Orleans. Those tales are part of the growing number of UFO reports from coast to coast. Wednesday, A university astronomer urged Congress to set up an agency to investigate the sightings. A psychiatrist called them flights of fantasy. But a group called the Association for the Understanding of Man, set up a circle of 92 bright lights in the hills west of Austin, Tex., as a lure. "We hope to attract some UFOs for flybys or perhaps capture some on film," said Dwight Pryor, president of the association. "We feel probably these lights can be seen by the human eye at least from 150 miles up. "These things sometimes, in cycles, what is known in UFO circles as flaps," he said. "There does seem to be very good evidence that an authentic flap is in progress at this time." Gov. John J. Gilligan of Ohio Wednesday said he saw a flashing UFO while driving with his wife in Michigan earlier this week. He said it was a "vertical beam of light" and wasn't "a plane or a bird." Dr. J. Allen Hynek, chairman of Northwestern University's astronomy department, said a government agency should be set up to investigate UFO reports that "could set the stage for a panic situation" if they continue to multiply. UFOs have been sighted in at least half the 50 states. These are some of the reports: * "Some frightened folks at Longview, Tex., called the sheriff's office to report strange objects landing at the local airport. Deputies said the only intruders were gaggles of snow geese that had mistaken the concrete runways for water. * A woman in a New Orleans suburb said she saw an object that looked like the Houston Astrodome hover over her home for three nights. * Mrs. Josephine Stevens was driving the girls out for coffee when she said she saw a silent "flash, like red lightning" in the clouds over the ocean off Seabrook, N.H. "We were just coming from a prayer meeting and talking about the Lord coming. It kind of made you think," said the 47-year-old wife of a minister. * At San Jose, Calif., Mrs. Ann Rodriguez said she and her daughters were out walking when they saw something land and then flashes "like someone taking pictures of us." An Oakland woman said a spider-like craft landed on a golf course near her home. Dr. John L. Hall, a Dallas psychiatrist, said there are several answers to the UFO reports. "First, some people are crazy. Second, some people have been known to lie," he said. "Third, they could be victims of genuine misperceptions of physical phenomena -- like a mirage on the desert. "Fourth, there may be terrestrial things that are part of the unknowability of the universe, things outside our technical knowledge and which we can't possibly know." # Circles, Hyphens Punctuate Va. Sky Oct. 18, 1973 By The Associated Press To Front Royal banker H. A. (Hank) Leonard it was "a really amazing sight," just as it was to a group of his neighbors. "I've never seen anything like it before," said Leonard, who as a former pilot is unaccustomed to seeing inexplicable things whizzing around in the skies -- especially things that blink. "It" was one of the latest UFOs -- unidentified flying objects -- reported seen over Virginia in the last few days. Such sightings have become epidemic in parts of the nation. The Front Royal sighting, which took place Tuesday night, was among four new ones reported in the state Wednesday. The other three were in the Roanoke area early Wednesday morning. The objects that people reported seeing were, depending on who saw them, circular, doughnut-shaped, cone-shaped, oblong, and even "hyphen-shaped," whatever that is. All were lit up in one fashion or another. Some blinked and some didn't. Some kept going and some stopped and started. They came in various colors, from "reddish" to red, blue and green and red, green, and white. One was "spitting fire," but the others weren't quite so spectacular. The Tuesday-night sighting in Front Royal appeared to be the best confirmed. The UFO first was spotted by Leonard's young son Clay as he peered through a birthday-gift telescope. The youngster called his father, who went out skeptically but shortly saw the "amazing sight," a brilliantly lit object moving east to west that, he said, was visible a full 30 minutes. Leonard said the UFO appeared to be about 75 to 100 miles high, stopped and started several times, and was so brightly lit in red, green, and white that its shape could not be made out precisely. After hovering over a mountain for a while, the object whizzed away to the northwest, the banker said. Members of several neighboring families, one of them a physician, came out to have a look and said they saw the object, too. Leonard reported what he had seen to the air traffic control center at Leesburg, which confirmed his telephone call. "He's a solid, reliable man," a spokesman at the control center said. "It's interesting." The spokesman said that there had been several reports of UFOs from people in the area from Front Royal to Washington lately but that the control center itself had observed "none that I know of." "You get a lot of things on radar that you don't pay any attention to," he said. The sightings Wednesday morning in eastern Roanoke County, near the Blue Ridge Mountains, were reported between 4 a.m. and 8:20 a.m. === **Page: 7 of 36** MEMPHIS PRESS-SCIMITAR, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1973 Missouri Man Claims UFO Blinded Him, Warped Glasses CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (UPI) A physics professor investigating a reported attack on a truck driver by an unidentified flying object (UFO) said today the victim's eyeglasses were damaged by internal heat from an unknown source. In the latest of a series of recent UFO sightings in southeastern Missouri, Eddie Doyle Webb, 45, of Greenville, Mo., was blinded for several hours after the incident. He is recovering his vision, but intends to visit an eye specialist at Barnes Hospital, St. Louis. Webb said he was driving a tractor-trailer rig about dawn Wednesday when he saw a bright light or aluminum object in the air behind him, "coming up real fast." He awakened his wife, Velma Mae Webb, 47, who was asleep in the cab, he said, but she didn't see anything. "Then, I stuck my head out of the window and a large ball of fire struck me in the face," Webb said. "My glasses fell off and I couldn't see. But I got the truck stopped." Mrs. Webb said her husband screamed, "Oh, my God! I'm burned! I can't see!" One of the lenses of his glasses fell out of the plastic frame which was warped. Mrs. Webb, who serves as a relief driver at times, drove him to a hospital. Sgt. Ed Wright of the Highway Patrol took Webb's glasses to Dr. Harley Rutledge, of the Southwest Missouri State University physics department, for an analysis. Rutledge, who has been working for six months to attempt to identify mysterious flying objects, said he put the glasses under a microscope and "it appeared they were heated internally." "The plastic apparently got hot and the mold came to the surface. The heat warped the plastic, causing the lense to fall out." Rutledge said he planned more tests on the glasses. He said there appears to be "some residue which we hope to put through some chemical tests." UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS This United Press International map shows some of the towns which have reported sightings of UFOs in recent days. Other Mid-South towns or areas include Union City, Tenn.; Blytheville, Ark.; New Albany and Holly Springs, Miss. In Tupelo, Miss., police reported for the third consecutive night the sighting of multicolored UFOs Thursday. The Lee County sheriff's office said two deputies told of seeing brightly lighted objects in the Tupelo area and that similar reports had come from sheriff's departments in neighboring Pontotoc and Itawamba counties. "One of them was a rotating white and red light and another deputy saw a white light about the size of a table top with red and yellow lights behind it," a dispatcher at the Lee County sheriff's office said. === **Page: 8 of 36** Weird, Wondrous Whatzits Were Witnessed Whizzing By The Associated Press Virginians kept on witnessing weird and wondrous whatzits whizzing around the skies or sometimes simply sitting silently in the air Friday as the unidentified flying object craze continued unabated. The best-confirmed report was of a strange something that has been mov- ing and hovering around the Peaks of Ot- ter, near the Apple Orchard Mountain radar station, for the last four days. Air Force personnel, who themselves have seen the object, called it "neither plane, weather balloon, the North Star nor helicopter," although some figured it was more worldly than other-worldly. "I believe in UFOs," said Sgt. Virgil Compton. "Not from outer space, but ob- jects that might come from some other na- tion that we know nothing about." MOST OF THE new reports of UFO sightings Friday were from the western part of the state, but by several lengths the most alarming to "believers" came from the Danville area. Bill Hines told police he and a friend were chased down a road on White Oak Mountain by a three-foot-tall creature with a shimmering white body and no eyes which happily vanished in "a kind of green haze." Only 20 minutes earlier Thursday night, Mrs. Pat Wentz of Danville and several friends reported they had seen what looked like "a very bright star" over the city - an object that hung low in the sky, stood still for a while, then disappeared north toward the mountain. The Bedford County sheriff's office said rumors flew around Bedford Thursday night that "a UFO had landed" in the Kelson area, near the base of the Peaks of Otter. "IT WAS NOT true, of course," the sheriff's office said. And that, apparently, took care of that. But the reports of the "something" seen by Air Force personnel around the Peaks were not so easily discounted. Sgt. Compton, who's in the information section of the radar station on Blue Ridge Parkway, said "it" has appeared to follow his compact car from his home in Bedford up winding State Rt. 43 in the mornings. "I believe it might be in love with my Pinto," Compton chuckled. "It moves from one place to another too fast to be an aircraft," the sergeant said. "And it is not a hallucination." Sgt. Jack Crossland, who operates the radar station switchboard, said he saw the object Friday morning as he and other per- sonnel were coming up to their quarters from Bedford by bus. "IT WAS A very brightly illuminated ob- ject to the left of Sharp Top, and then it moved away," Crossland said. Mrs. David J. Johnston, a secretary at the station, said she first saw the brilliant- ly lit object Monday morning just before reaching the parkway. The next morning, she saw two. "They came down like an airplane," Mrs. Johnston said, "but there was no sound. Then they seemed to hover over the road, sort of like they were casing the road." Mrs. Johnston said she saw single ob- jects Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings, all between 6:30 and 6:45 a.m. Compton, who previously has been stationed in such places as Goose Bay, Labrador, South Dakota and Michigan, said the radar on Apple Mountain Orchard hadn't picked up anything. Virg. Pilot 10/20/73 By The Associated Press Southerners besieged in the last week by reports of unidenti- fied flying objects (UFOs) have reacted in some instances by proposing an ordinance to guarantee the civil rights of ex- traterrestrial beings and by in- viting the strange objects to a gathering in Texas. Renewed reports of UFOs con- tinued late this week. Most were in the south.

Meanwhile, the reports of weird flying machines and stranger beings continued. In Falkville, Ala., policeman Jeff Greenshaw said he re- sponded to a call Wednesday night about a spaceship with blinking lights. He said he found no spaceship but did find a metallic-looking creature in the middle of the road. "I got out of my patrol car and said, 'Howdy, stranger,' but he didn't say a word.

Greenshaw said the creature moved like a robot, made no sounds, had no features on its face, and had a point on top of its head. There were other sightings reported, and one was with- drawn. Police said a Gulfport, Miss., cab driver who had said earlier in the week that an alien being had stopped his cab had admitted that he lied.

It attracted eight carloads of interested people the first night but no strange spaceships or alien beings. === **Page: 9 of 36** National Enquirer Nov. 4, '73 Mysterious Wave of UFOs Reported Mystery flights of UFOs - unidentified flying objects - were sighted over two southern states recently, prompting a deluge of phone queries to police by a perplexed populace. The ENQUIRER quickly sent in a team of reporters and photographers to seven towns to dig out the story. Our staffers located nearby a dozen police officers who personally viewed the UFOs. Here are their startling reports. "Some kind of alien life - a spaceship" ... "An oblong object with a gentle white glow" ... "No regular type of flying machine." That's how amazed policemen described the mysterious wave of UFOs they saw streaking across the nighttime heavens over Alabama and Georgia on September 8-9. The rash of police sightings were made mostly in the early-morning hours when most people would be in bed. But only the weekend before, hundreds of Georgia and Alabama residents had deluged authorities with reports of similar UFO sightings. The ENQUIRER found 11 local and state policemen who had witnessed the extraordinary display. Jack Barker, an official of the Federal Aviation Agency's Air Traffic Division, said none of the UFOs showed up on the FAA's radar network covering the two states. "We know about the number of reliable sources who reported the sightings but we can't shed any light on what they saw," Barker said. Most of the policemen agreed on a general description - a fast-moving, noiseless, basketball-sized object, brightly lit with red, green, orange or white lights, blinking or revolving. Georgia State Trooper Sam Taylor said: "It was oblong but not quite thin enough to make it cigar-shaped. It seemed solid and gave off a gentle white glow." Taylor, a Vietnam flying veteran, made the sighting in Manchester, Ga. He said he was "absolutely mystified," adding: "What I saw was certainly no airplane, helicopter or natural phenomenon." When he went to headquarters afterward, Taylor said, "The phone started ringing with other people in the neighborhood reporting they'd seen a UFO overhead. Then I really knew I hadn't been seeing things." Patrolman Billy Clayton of Carrville, Ala., said: "I've no doubt it was some kind of alien life - a spaceship. I asked Jim (auxiliary policeman James Smith, his partner on patrol) if he thought it was the Martians. Jim just laughed. He said he wasn't going to talk about it because people would think he was crazy." IT WAS OVER THERE: Al Baker, an Auburn, Ala., policeman, points to where he spotted UFO streaking across the sky. Smith held to his word. He would tell The ENQUIRER only: "What Billy says goes for me." Patrolmen Steve Segrest and Wayne Sexton of neighboring Tallassee, Ala., watched the object with Clayton and Smith. "I used to be skeptical about these things," Segrest said. "Now I'm not near as skeptical. We watched some object up there. And I don't believe it was man-made." Sexton said: "It had to be a UFO of some type. There was no way it could have been anything we know about." Sgt. Mid Giles of the Notasulga, Ala., police, said: "When it suddenly shot off, I realized it couldn't have been a weather balloon like I first thought. I'm convinced it was no regular type of flying machine." Jim Reynolds said: "I never believed in UFOs until that night. Now I'm puzzled and confused." Officer Al Baker of the Auburn, Ala., police, who also witnessed the streaking light, said: "Whenever people said they had seen a UFO, I thought it was just a bunch of hogwash. But I've got to admit these things do exist." Officer Jack Walton, also of Auburn, said: "I'm not going to say it was a flying saucer with little green men in it. But it was some form of UFO. The other officers just laughed and said, 'You've been seeing things.' That made me mad. I know what I saw." Patrolman Dave Maddux of Lanett, Ala., said: "At first I thought I was seeing a star, maybe distorted by heat haze. "But then it started to move, first towards the ground, then up again, and went over a hill." Sgt. Wayne Meadows, also of the Lanett police, said: "All I know is that it wasn't a plane, helicopter, balloon or star." === **Page: 10 of 36** 8-B Fort Myers (Fla.) News-Press Wed., Sept. 19, 1973 'We want to settle down once and for all and try to find one of the things' -George R. Prescott Skunk Apes? The Quasi-Legendary And Smelly Creatures May Be Tromping Around In Big Cypress Swamp ST. PETERSBURG (AP) - An expedition will penetrate Big Cypress Swamp within the next few weeks and attempt to prove that Florida is home for an 8-foot ape with a terrible case of body odor, says the head of the Yeti Research Society. "We formed the society last December. We want to settle down once and for all and try to find one of the things," says Gordon R. Prescott. Going under its Florida name of Skunk Ape, the quasi-legendary creature came to light a couple of years ago when a group of amateur archaeologists from Miami said they saw a huge, apelike creature while digging on an Indian mound in the tangled wilderness about 100 miles west of Miami. Within a few weeks, Skunk Apes were being spotted from Naples to Fort Lauderdale, and some people even reported they had got close enough to baby Skunk Apes to feed them. The reports gained some credence when policemen and other trusted observers said that while they weren't exactly sure what they saw, something big and smelly was tromping around the Everglades. Going under the aliases of Yeti, Sasquatch and MoMo, the creatures have been reported for many years in the Pacific Northwest. The Florida version has the added dubious attraction of being terribly smelly. During its earlier heyday, while posses of armed men were running around the woods, many people said they never actually saw the things, but their noses said some had been around. Prescott said the newest expedition, which he hopes will get underway in about three weeks, will include two anthropologists who "don't want their names known yet, for obvious reasons. They're in scholastic circles, and you can get an awful lot of ridicule by suggesting it's possible the things might exist." Prescott says the expedition will try to photograph the creatures, and if the opportunity presents itself, immobilizing some with a tranquilizer gun. "We're not saying exactly where they are, because we don't want the place overrun by curiosity seekers," he said. "We think there are five of them in two family groups near where we were." Prescott says he thought he saw a Skunk Ape once, a short glimpse through some trees at a distance of 100 yards. But he said it fit the classic description of height - about 8 feet - and weight - 600 to 1,000 pounds. "But we heard and smelled them regularly while we were working out there," he says. "Apparently, they'll eat anything that's left around, including people's lunches. We had that happen many times. They'd sneak up, grab a lunch bag and run." He said they also like salt and sometimes would steal a saltshaker and return it empty the next night, as if begging for more. Dateline: The Nation Officials Disclaim Reports On UFOs COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Astronomy experts and Air Force officials disclaimed on Monday reports of mysterious flying objects sighted by central Ohioans over the weekend. Police and sheriff's deputies in Madison, Jefferson and Highland counties said they were investigating a rash of telephone calls involving an amber light that not only hovered over several areas, but reportedly landed, broke fences and killed a cow. A spokesman for the Astronomy Department at Ohio State University brushed off the sightings as "natural objects or intentional fraud."

They ranged from Rochester, where a flying V formation of lights was reported, to Gulfport, Miss., where a press account told of "strange creatures with weirdly shaped heads" stopping cars on Route 90 "and scratching at the windows." Two men in Pascagoula, Miss., even said they had been taken aboard a UFO by creatures with crab-claw hands. Relatively well documented was evidence that two objects, possibly aircraft or meteorites, flew at supersonic speed across the Northern United States. Tremors characteristic of a sonic boom were recorded by earthquake detectors at Pennsylvania State University in State College, Pa., at 8:53 P.M. on Oct. 11 and 1:26 P.M. on Oct. 17. One or both of these booms were recorded by similar instruments at the State University of New York in Binghamton, at Virginia Polytechnic Institute in Blacksburg and on an air pressure recorder in Michigan. Light Evades Copter In the vicinity of Dover, Del., three women last Sunday night told the state police they had been watching a brilliant light in the sky for 45 minutes. A police helicopter was sent to investigate and, according to a spokesman at Dover Air Force Base, the police and a man in the air base control tower saw the light, too, but the helicopter was unable to overtake it or determine its distance. In Louisiana Sheriff's deputies reported chasing five orange-red lights for 12 miles through the piney woods. An Indiana man said a nighttime UFO "followed me home," and elsewhere policemen said they had been "buzzed" by a swooping UFO while on patrol. Yet the Federal Aviation Administration, which is responsible for air traffic control over the United States, said at the week's end that its radar network had seen nothing unusual. Its 90 long-range radars and 130 airport radars cover about 90 per cent of American air space above 24,000 feet and lesser amounts at lower levels. No Reports by Pilots The F.A.A. added that no reports of special significance had been submitted by airline pilots, although it was noted that in recent years pilots had tended to refrain from making such reports because so much paperwork was involved. An airline source said that pilots in recent years have reported UFO's at a rate of about two a month. These reports are channeled to the Center for Short-Lived Phenomena of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge, Mass. However, it was reported that there had been no marked increase in such reports during recent weeks. A spokesman for the North American Air Defense Command denied that any UFO had been detected in the last three weeks. The command, known as NORAD, operates a space tracking system that monitors earth satellites and watches for incoming missiles. Scoffs at 'Visitors' The two-year study was directed by Dr. Edward U. Condon, an internationally known physicist and former head of the National Bureau of Standards. Dr. Condon's salty comments soon antagonized those inclined to take seriously the possibility that UFO's are visitations from other worlds. "If you define a UFO as a visitor from outer space," he recently told United Press International, "there's no evidence they exist. I've never seen one. I think further study of UFO's would be scientifically useless. I think my own study of UFO's was a waste of Government money." A contrary view has been maintained by Dr. J. Allen Hynek, head of the Dearborn Observatory of Northwestern University. Dr. Hynek was consultant to the Air Force UFO project, which was terminated after the Condon report had downgraded the value of such investigations. Dr. Hynek and a few others have fought a relatively lonely battle for renewed efforts to investigate the possibility that some phenomenon of significance lies behind the many and varied reports. One explanation for many UFO reports is the "chasing" phenomenon experienced by motorists, particularly when bright planets are visible on clear nights, such as those of recent days. Four planets are exceptionally bright at this time: Venus is in the western sky shortly after sunset. Jupiter is higher in the evening sky. Mars, to the east in the early evening, is reddish and exceptionally bright, having made a close approach to the earth this week. Saturn, which rises later, is also exceptionally near the earth. The "chasing" effect, which has induced panic in many drivers since "flying saucers" first were publicized, occurs when one sees a planet or very bright star from a moving car. Every time the car turns, speeds up or slows down, the planet appears to do the same. In contrast to nearby landscape features that move past, the observer in the expected fashion. The planets, at their brightest, change color as their light is modified by atmospheric conditions, particularly near the horizon. Such color changes are often a feature of UFO's. Pranks Are Generated A flurry of UFO reports not only breeds more reports but also gives birth to a variety of pranks. In Shreveport, La., where 5,000 people gathered Wednesday night for a UFO "fly-in," according to The Associated Press, they were rewarded by the startling sight of a large red object passing overhead. It proved to be a balloon released as a joke. Responding to a rash of UFO reports in Indiana, the police intercepted three plastic garbage bags that had been made into glowing hot-air balloons by suspending candles beneath them. A similar hoax, while the investigation was being conducted at the University of Colorado in Boulder, sent flickering UFO's across the town. However, it led to a police warning to a local disc jockey and incendiary. In Greenwood, Del., United Press International reported, a traffic jam developed as drivers stared at a saucer-shaped circle of lights that proved to have been erected by volunteer firemen, using their emergency generator as a power source. Five of them were charged with disorderly conduct. Symbolic Lights Another circle of 92 flashing lights was set up in Texas to entice a UFO within photographic range. A single powerful light emitted three short flashes and one long one and the "whole system" was designed to symbolize the hydrogen atom, indicating a knowledge of science by the inhabitants of earth. Preparations to receive a UFO were also made at Palacios, a small town on the Texas coast. The Mayor, W. C. Jackson, said, according to United Press International, "It just occurred to me that no one has ever made those fellas welcome." Hence the town council issued a welcoming proclamation. Two Texans might claim having seen the most clearly identified UFO to date. It carried red and white flashing lights, they said, and the inscription "U.F.O." on one side. While the Condon study attributed conventional explanations to most sightings, there was a small residue that remained perplexing. Some involved seemingly reliable observers and could not be dismissed out of hand. More Data Needed The gist of the findings was, however, that such episodes did not indicate visitations from afar and could have been explained in conventional ways had more been known about them. One oft-cited series of sightings, which demonstrated the === **Page: 12 of 36** The Billings Gazette Monday, October 1, 1973 Morning Edition 18 UFO's keep sheriff busy HORNBEAK, Tenn. (UPI) - Sheriff Nathan Cunningham's office in Obion County is beginning to take on the aura of a traffic control center for UFOs reported zipping across northwest Tennessee skies at 100 miles an hour. Cunningham said Sunday he personally saw three UFO's (Unidentified Flying Objects) Saturday night, including one which raced over his house glowing and humming. He said at least 20 callers reported similar sightings. "I saw something, and I don't know what it was," Cunningham said, "but it was sure identified to me, it had a big bright white light in the center and it had red, green, and blue-looking lights around it. "You couldn't tell how far away it was or how big it was. From a distance it looked like the big glow was 10 or 12 feet square." Cunningham said he saw two UFOs hover over a Hornbeak riding ring then disappear early Saturday evening. When he arrived at home later, Cunningham said his phone was ringing constantly. As he looked outside, a third UFO passed by. "It was low enough that I could hear this one," he said. "It made a humming sound that didn't sound like a plane or a helicopter. "Just a wild guess, I'd say it was moving 100 miles an hour or better. It just zoomed right on over. It stopped over the north for four or five minutes then came back over south and finally disappeared." George and Vickie Rogers were returning by car from Reelfoot Lake in the northwest corner of the state when they saw a piercing light. "We had been sitting at the lake and my wife kept seeing red and blue lights go around the lake," Rogers said. "I told her it was an airplane and we forgot about it. "But we were coming home and I just glanced over to my left in a field and there was a six or seven foot bright red light. It was so bright I couldn't see. It lit up an acre and a half of land. "Then the light went out and we couldn't see nothing. There were seven or eight cars on the road and they almost hit each other. I was pretty scared. "It was about as high as the utility lines or maybe over them." Mrs. Rogers said, "We kept watching it in the sky, and then we saw a blue light. It was larger than the big stars and the blue lights went out later. It scared me pretty bad, we didn't say much." The reported sightings were the latest in a rash of such incidents throughout the southeast. Cunningham said he had been aware of earlier reports but had not paid much attention to them. "I'd been hearing about the things, but I hadn't been paying attention," he said. "I figured it was something military and they just didn't want to tell anybody about it." Obion County is at the Kentucky border in northwest Tennessee. Section 1 The Commercial Appeal, Memphis, Sunday, September 2, 1973 People Saw It, But Radar Didn't An unidentified flying object—they're now called UFOs but they used to be 'flying saucers'—lights up the sky as it hovers 8,000 to 10,000 feet over Pelham and four other south Georgia towns. The towns reported seeing it, but radar at military and civilian airports didn't pick it up. The big streak is the 'UFO' while the smaller ones are stars caught on a one-hour time exposure. Bill Burson of the Camilla (Ga.) Enterprise said he took the picture between 5 and 6 Friday morning. —UPI Telephoto === **Page: 13 of 36** UFOs are zeroing in Don't look now, but UFOs appear to be zeroing in on Columbus. During the past few weeks UFOs—unidentified flying objects—have been sighted in a number of locations throughout Georgia and Alabama. Gradually they seem to be getting closer and closer. This past weekend was a busy time for UFOs in the Valley area. Actually there was one sighting in Columbus, but it didn't really count. Leonard Waller, who lives at the corner of Beallwood Avenue and 41st Street, said the "five or six UFO's" he saw appeared to be over the Manchester area. Several people saw Mr. Waller's UFOs—or some others—over Manchester and Talbotton Saturday night. Strangely, the UFOs sighted in the Valley area seem to have an affinity for law enforcement officials. Talbot County Deputy Sheriff Charles Pope, said he and Manchester State Patrolman R.E. Traylor saw a UFO just east of Talbotton Saturday night. At Manchester, State Patrolman Sammy Taylor was one of four persons who sighted UFOs Saturday night. These people are wisely drawing no conclusions about the origin of UFOs. But—despite the skepticism of many—they're convinced of what they saw. "As Taylor put it: "People [in Manchester] at first didn't believe it when they first head of UFOs, but I can tell you they believe it now. I didn't believe it at first myself." Green, Red 'UFOs' Spotted By LEE MELSEK News-Press Staff Writer What's green and red, blinks and groups together high over south Florida skies? Planets and stars says the Federal Aviation Administration. Definitely not, says a spokesman for the University of South Florida observatory in Tampa. Definitely not, say residents of Island Park near Bonita Springs. Unidentified objects hovered over Lee County skies again Sunday night and explanations of them were as conflicting as ever. About five or six "circular objects that blink red and green" were sighted by residents of Island Park about 9 p.m. Sunday. A quick look through binoculars by News-Press staff members confirmed the existence of the blinking objects, but efforts to learn their origin met with contradictory testimony. Danny Wallace at the Page Field control tower said he imagined "they are some kind of stars and planets and they're not really blinking, they just look like they are." No, says a spokesman for the observatory in Tampa. "There are no astronomical objects that blink red and green although Venus is in that vicinity and sometimes she gives off some weird effects," he said. Mrs. Kenneth Wells called the News-Press late Sunday and said about 12 Island Park residents were watching the objects. "My husband and I were leaving a friend's house and one of the objects began following us. When we stopped, it stopped and then drew back," she said. Mrs. Wells said the object that followed her and her husband "was a bright white glowing object that shot a beam of light out. After it went away another one came and this one was orange." "We know all about stars and planets and these are not stars and planets," Mrs. Wells said. "They were too far away to be planes either." A spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration in Fort Myers said he did not know of any weather balloons in the area and agreed with Wallace that they "are probably stars and planets." Whatever they were, they apparently weren't turned into police. The Lee County Sheriff's Department and the Florida Highway Patrol in Fort Myers said no sightings were reported to them. === **Page: 14 of 36** Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch photographer Ken Cham- berlain Jr. made this sequence of pictures of lights above the city about 10 p.m. Wednesday. He used a 35mm camera with a 640mm lens and made three exposures at 1/4 of a second at f 5.6 in rapid order. Police received 150 calls about sightings. (AP) C10 Virginian-Pilot, Friday, Oct. 19, 1973 Many Explanations For UFO Sightings By The Associated Press Swamp gas, changing seasons, ball lightning, and bright stars may all contribute to the cycles of UFO sightings. For more than 20 years, the Air Force investigated uniden- tified flying objects, finally con- cluding in December 1969 that its project Blue Book was no longer justified for security or science. But closing the book obvious- ly had little, if any, effect on UFOs. Sightings, often in clusters, continued, as they have in recent days. The modern flying-saucer era in the United States began in 1947 when a businessman-pilot reported seeing nine strange moving objects over Mt. Rain- ier. A decade later there were a host of reports from Texas, New Mexico and Southern Cali- fornia. In 1965, there were worldwide sightings. In the An- tarctic, a sighting coincided with disruption of elec- tromagnetic equipment. The Blue Book ascribed the bulk of sightings to aircraft, weather, sounding balloons, sat- ellites, meteors, bright stars and planets, missiles, searchlights, clouds, birds, re- flections, temperatures in- versions, mirages, electric wires sparking, and swamp gas. Others added ball lightning and plasmas of ionized air. "Sightings vary according to weather and how much publi- city and sightings receive na- tionally," one expert said. "If publicity continues for several days, sighting reports go up throughout the country as well as in the original locality. Sightings pick up in the spring and fall when meteorological changes are more common." But for all this, some sight- ings remain unexplained. In the latest rash of sightings, Dr. J. Allen Hynek, a Northwestern Uni- versity astronomer, said all of the cases should be thoroughly investigated by an official agency. The case of the two Mis- sissippi men who reported meeting strange creatures in a hovering craft over the water a week ago Thursday, Dr. Hynek said, supports the view "that a phenomenon exists which is as yet unexplained." Hynek was a consultant to the Blue Book project and main- tains a private center for UFO reports because, he said, "a mystery still remains." Despite official explanations for UFOs, a number of citizens continued to report strange ob- jects in the sky. It was re- ported Thursday that during debriefing sessions the Skylab 2 astronauts said they had seen a mysterious reddish object not more than 30 to 50 nautical miles from their spaceship dur- ing their 59-day flight. Dr. Owen K. Garriott, one of the three astronauts, said the object was brighter than any of the planets, had a reddish hue, and was well above the horizon. He said the object was seen one day in mid-September and was never seen again. Two men working on an off- shore oil platform 60 miles south of Crowley, La., reported that a weird oblong object came within 100 feet of them late Wednesday. They said the object, which had colored lights and produced a whining sound, hovered at 1,000 feet before making a descent. The men said the machine cut their elec- trical power while it was hov- ering near them. In Rochester, Minn., a Na- tional Weather Service mete- orologist with 24 years' experi- ence said he came upon the "weirdest formation I've ever seen" Thursday. Leroy Martell said a silver object moving faster than a jet or balloon was visible for five minutes as it shot across the sky behind a condensation trail left by a jet. A Santa Ana, Calif., man, Mi- chael A. Thomas, said he al- most wrecked his car Wednes- day when an object "as big as a diesel truck with a trailer" came down out of the sky. "I went beserk and dived un- der my car," he said. "Then it glowed a bright orange and hummed like a refrigerator and swooshed up the side of the hill." Police speculated that he had seen a weather balloon. === **Page: 15 of 36** The Billings Gazette Sunday, October 21, 1973 H2 Morning Edition NASA engineer sees spacemen in Bible HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) - An engineer who helped devel- op the Skylab, space shuttle and Saturn 5 rocket says he believes beings from outer space landed on earth 2,800 years ago using equipment more advanced than anything man can have within the next 20 years. During 18 months of working in his spare time, Josef F. Blumrich said he applied space technology to the Old Testa- ment text of Ezekiel and came up with engineering drawings of what a craft described by the Hebrew prophet looked like and how it moved about. "It all started in the fall of 1970 when I got a German ver- sion of Erich Von Daniken's "Chariot of the Gods?" and was convinced it was the same old nonsense," he said. "when I came to the pas- sages about Ezekiel I put Von Daniken's book away and took one of my Bibles. I told my wife, 'I will show you where he is wrong!'" But, to his surprise, Blumrich - chief of the Systems Layout Branch of the Marshall Space Flight Center - saw things that made sense to him: "In chapter one, Ezekiel speaks at length about the structure. It just so happens that I have myself designed such things here." From a modern English translation of the Bible, here is part of the passage to which he refers: "One day late in June when I was 30 ... the heavens were suddenly opened to me.... I saw in this vision, a great storm coming toward me from the north, driving before it a huge cloud glowing with fire, with a mass of fire inside that flashed continually; and in the fire there was something that shone like polished brass. "Then, from the center of the cloud, four strange forms ap- peared that looked like men ex- cept that each had four faces and two pairs of wings.... And beneath their wings I could see human hands." Odd lights A photographer for a Columbus, Ohio newspaper took this picture of four strange lights in the sky last week. Area lawmen reported over 150 calls from persons who saw the lights. UFO's are sighted in Ohio DAYTON, Ohio (UPI) -At least 16 sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) were reported within about 12 hours in this southwestern Ohio area, during the night, including one photographed by a policeman, authorities said Thursday. "They would be behind the trees and come up and fly away...as if you startled it or something," said Montgomery County sheriff's deputy Michael Sullivan. "No balloon, helicopt- er or kite can move that fast or has that many lights attached or can go so quickly in a straight up direction." Sullivan said the first sighting was reported at about 8 p.m. Wednesday, the latest in a host of claimed UFO spottings in several parts of the country. Fans see UFO BATON ROUGE, La. (UPI) -An unidentified flying object, flashing blue and red beams of light, hovered briefly over Louisiana State University's football stadium before 67,000 spectators Saturday night and disappeared. State police said a division of troopers was sent to track the object, which sports commenta- tors said had been maneuvering in the sky and "appeared to be trying to land."

OWENS === **Page: 16 of 36** B 4 Richmond Times-Dispatch (Fri., Oct. 26,) 1973 UFO Seen, Chase City Police Say By John Clement Times-Dispatch Staff Writer CHASE CITY - Sam Huff, a policeman for the past seven years, said he watched an unidentified flying object for 15 minutes around 2 a.m. Thursday. Huff said Marion Owen, the Chase City police radio dispatcher, first sighted the object after noticing an unusual light reflection on the window of the police station. Owen radioed Huff, who drove to the west side of town and parked on a railroad bridge, almost under the object, Huff said. Huff said the soundless object, fairly large, with a color that resembled a very bright star, hovered motionless over the town for about five minutes then moved rapidly to the north, reversed direction and returned to a position over his head. It stayed motionless for another five minutes before heading rapidly in a westerly direction, he added. UFOs are probably taken a little more matter-of-factly in this area since two well-publicized and still unexplained sightings occurred in 1967 in nearby South Hill and Lunenburg County. In the South Hill incident, a warehouseman said, in April 1967 that he rounded a curve and encountered an object 12 feet in diameter, standing on three legs, that resembled an aluminum storage tank. The object suddenly left the ground in a burst of brilliant light, he reported. The blacktop street caught fire, and when police arrived on the scene the tar was still hot and smoking. Two months later, a rural Lunenburg County storekeeper said she was startled one night by a thundering roar. She looked out her bedroom window and saw a bright light which she described as so bright "you could see every leaf on the tree." That object also allegedly left burn marks in the highway. Friday, Oct. 26, 1973..... Dr. Max Fogel, Mensa, Philadelphia Dear Dr. Max: I am tickled pink...to be able to send you this electrifying documentation! First, because the UFO's (SI's) that I contacted telepathically with my special UFO brain... answered almost immediately...very next day, in fact...by appearing in the area I specified in my letter to you earlier plus showed themselves to the police, just as I specified...matter of fact, this UFO made SURE the message got over...by leaving the policeman and then RETURNING! (See newsclip.) Second, am tickled...because this couldn't happen to a nicer scientist than Dr. Max Fogel. As you well know, just a handful of the scientific community has guts enough to let it be known that they are in contact with PK Man..and only you...have guts enough to give me signed confirmations whenever I bring about a "miracle". (Dr. Hynek should damn well have sent me a signed, notarized confirm when I stopped that volcano in Sicily, but nope, he didn't.) So to me...you are "King of the Scientists"! Now, if any scientists that you know want to scoff at me, or your connection with me...simply show them the letters I sent to you last Tuesday and Wednesday... then show them this newsclipping! The SI's LIKE this idea...this experiment-demonstration I have set up...and they have lost no time in acting on it! I had thought perhaps they'd take weeks to show up, but they did it the very next day! So, it has begun! So, to briefly recap...I wrote to you last Tuesday and again Wednesday... telling you that I would communicate with my UFO's (that I have worked with and for for 10 years) and ask them to appear within a 100 mile radius of where I live, the Eastern Shore...using this Cape Charles as the "bullseye". Furthermore, I told you I would ask them to show themselves to the police and other responsible persons. Furthermore, I told you I would also telepathically contact the "UFO Monsters" of various kinds... and bring them, also, to this area. Furthermore, in time to come, I told you, I'd make this 100 mile area the "UFO capitol of the world" in essence. All right.

Police officers, newsmen, surprised citizens and one military policeman turned in reports of the UFOs the past four nights. The sightings were made in several central and south Georgia towns, with most of the descriptions being similar - blinking, varicolored lights, normally hovering in one position but occasionally showing great bursts of speed. Chester A. Tatum, publisher of the Sowega Press in Camilla, said he photographed one of the UFOs Saturday night. He said it had a "ribbed type design with some sort of center down the middle." But military spokesmen at Georgia's two main air force installations, Dobbins Air Force Base in Marietta and Warner-Robins Air Force Base, said there would be no investigation of the sighting reports. "Most of the calls we've received have been from the press," said Lieutenant Colonel Richard Davies, an information officer at Warner-Robins. "There have been two reports from police and one from a military policeman here, but none from any private citizens. "These are the first reports of any UFOs I've seen in a number of years. The Air Force used to have a program to check up on this type of thing but they dropped it. I seriously doubt there will be any investigation." Georgia civil defense public information director Colonel Douglas Embry said all the UFO reports have been logged "but we don't do anything with them or publicize them. They seem to have gotten enough publicity already." Embry said if there were no "logical explanation" for the sightings, and if there was a "danger to life and property," then the civil defense office would ask the governor to take any necessary steps to investigate the sightings.

H. Webb of Midland announced to her husband, "Sugar, about 10 o'clock I'm going to to out and look for flying objects." UFO (unidentified flying object) sightings were reported Saturday in the Manchester area and Sunday in the Columbus area. Webb laughed but agreed to look too. They apparently were successful. "He started yelling to me like he saw a bugger man," Mrs. Webb reported. A UFO had appeared from a northwesterly direction. It disappeared behind a cloud, but in a minute or two another one appeared, said Mrs. Webb. "In a couple of minutes, here came another one out of the same direction following in the same path just like they were going somewhere," she recalled. Although the three unidentified objects were flying at a high altitude, Mrs. Webb said they apparently were circular in shape and had three prongs and something resembling a tail. The objects were a brightly lit yellow which changed to green. The fourth object to appear came from a more northerly direction and was only about 100 or 200 feet off the ground. It and the fifth object were somewhat obscured by trees, she reported. "It didn't take 'em but a minute or two to get out of sight. They weren't fooling around. They were like a homing pigeon going home," she attempted to describe the event. The Webbs are not among that group with a long-held belief in the existence of UFOs. "Maybe Russia's got something over here flying around. We've got things over there, so they say. If it is (a Rus- sian-built surveillance craft), they're getting mighty brave flying so low," she speculated. Or, an alternative explanation from Webb is that the United States could be responsible for the objects and be testing them in the area. Whatever, the Webbs are not afraid. "I just wish I knew what they were. They're really something to see," Mrs. Webb commented. She'll be on the lookout again tonight, this time equipped with a pair of binoculars. ② Our UFO moving on? 'Fireball' sweeps over Texas CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex. (UPI) - A big ball of fire streaked 225 miles across the Texas sky late Wednesday night, prompting hundreds of calls to law agencies from Kerrville to Corpus Christi.

Roy Butler, a sheriff's de- partment dispatcher at George West, said he saw the object as he took a break outside his office. "One of our units had been watching it, and a game war- den was watching it through binoculars," Butler said. "It went out of sight southeast of us and 30 seconds later we heard a little explosion. of it went out, and before it hit the ground it was com- pletely out. "I thought it was a burning airplane, but our unit and the game warden said it looked like a meteor. I don't know what it is," Butler said. "A lady called up and claimed Skylab was coming down." Sgt.

Deputy Michael Moore said the ships almost attacked a police car. "One of our deputies was scared pretty bad," Moore said from the Washington Parish sheriff's department. "He turned on his red lights, and they came down at his patrol car. He turned them off and they just vanished like in a cloud." Moore said the ships, reported 150 miles northwest of Pascagoula, Miss., "come right down at you and then vanish above the treetops." Moore said several deputies were out chasing the ships and one of the men tried to take pictures. "Our deputies spotted five of them, and a bunch of witnesses saw them too," he said. === **Page: 20 of 36** PALO ALTO TIMES, PALO ALTO, CALIF., MONDAY, SEPT. 10, 1973-35 # Rash of UFO sightings reported in Southeast GRIFFIN, Ga. (UPI) — New reports of strange, ho- vering objects with bright- ly-colored lights were re- ceived Sunday night by local authorities as part of a rash of recent sightings of unidentified flying objects in the Southeast. For nearly two weeks, re- ports of UFOs have flooded authorities in central and south Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Florida. The reports have come from ci- vilians, military policemen, local law enforcement of- ficers and state troopers. Sunday night, a Spalding County deputy answered a call reporting an object ho- vering over a house. The deputy radioned his office that he saw "two red lights descending slowly to earth," and then the lights disappeared. Mrs. Hugh D. Beall told local police an "upside- down cup and saucer shaped object" hovered over her house. She said the object had gold, red and green lights on the bottom. Mrs. Beall said the object, which she said made a "funny" noise, was too low for an airplane and was just above tree-top level. She said the lights changed colors. There were at least two other reports in Griffin and other sightings in Newnan, Ga., 30 miles to the west. In other weekend sight- ings, two military police- men at Hunter Army Air- field near Savannah reported something dived at their car as they were on routine patrol and then pursued them as they raced back to headquarters. Bart J. Burns and Randy Shade said the object, trav- eling at a high rate of speed with "quick flashing lights," was initially spotted at about 2,000 feet but then it dived at them. They said it hovered near the car and pursued thera as they raced back to the base. A Georgia highway pa- trolman in Manchester said he saw a UFO hovering at tree-top level Saturday night. "It went over the unit (patrol car), and was going so fast there was no way he could even get close enough to identify it," said a patrol spokesman.

A cameraman for WAC TV in Atlanta recorded seconds of film of a U found near Manchester early S urday night. It showed a hoveri glowing light, changing c ors rapidly. Police in five East Centr Alabama cities report sightings early Sunday. Officer Keith Broach Auburn, Ala., said he sa something the size of a airplane, which appeare red and white, changed green and then to while he fore flying away. A policeman at Lane Ala., said he saw an objec about the size of a car, com ing to within 150 feet of th ground. There also were sighting reported by police in Ca ville, Notasulga and Tus gee, Ala. Military Policeman B Burns and Randy Shade sa in Savannah that an airbor object dived toward their as they were making a r tine patrol near Hunter Base. They said it hover near the car aud pursu them as they raced to hea quarters. 6 San Francisco Chronicle ** Tues., Sept. 11, 19/3 # UFO Drops Golden Egg Griffin, Ga. The reports of UFO sightings that have unset- tled Georgia for weeks took a sudden twist yes- terday when a witness re- ported that a golden egg fell from the sky in a cloud of smoke, searing the earth where it struck. "I tell you, I believe it to be a piece of brimstone from heaven come down here to show people how He can burn the earth with it," an- nounced Ress Clanton, who said he saw the object fall. Clanton said he was in Or- chard Hill, about five miles south of here, late yesterday afternoon when he looked up and saw a golden object about the size of a hen egg spinning to the earth. It apparently destroyed it- self upon impact, leaving a hole a foot long and about 5 inches deep. Researchers from an agri- cultural experiment station nearby took earth samples but found nothing out of the ordinary - except that after the incident the temperature of the hole was 300 degrees. Clanton said the object did not appear to be in free fall, but descended at a con- trolled rate. He said he saw no aircraft in the area. For nearly two weeks re- ports of UFOs have been rampant in central and southern Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and Florida. Most of the reports tell of strange, hovering objects with brightly colored lights. There were four such re- ports in the Griffin area Sunday night and others in Newnan, Ga., 30 miles to the west. United Press === **Page: 21 of 36** Sept 25, 1973 RADAR DEMO Firemen extinguish Saratoga blaze NORFOLK, Va. A major fire broke out aboard the aircraft carrier Saratoga and firemen battled the blaze for nine hours before putting it out. A Navy spokesman said smoke and extreme heat hampered firemen from the Saratoga, the Norfolk Naval Shipyard and civilian agencies after the fire broke out Saturday night. The flames were confined to the ship's third deck just below the flight deck. No injuries were reported. By CLIFFORD HUBBARD Virginian-Pilot Staff Writer The Virginian-Pilot YORKTOWN The Norfolk Naval Supply Center's Cheatham Annex fuel pier through which the state is attempting to stock pile fuel oil for this winter was badly damaged by a spectacular fire Monday morning. "Once that thing got started, it looked like it was soaked in gasoline. That creosote really burned," said Ray Cavenaugh of Cavenaugh Corp. of Richmond, supervisor of the pier for the state. No oil was involved. The flames were fed by the bore-dry, creosoted timbers of the pier, which extends 2,800 feet into the York River. Most of the damage was to the "T" at the end. There was no one on the pier when the fire broke out about 10:40 a.m. Cavenaugh said he and a helper, however, had been on the pier immediately before and had turned on lights in a shed on the pierhead and hooked a charger to the battery in a cherry-picker crane. Cavenaugh and his helper were at the tank farm when the alarm went off. They arrived at the pier at the same time the Cheatham Annex Fire Department did, Cavenaugh said. "I'd of given a $1,000 for 20 gallons of water right then," he added. The firemen arrived in a pick-up truck, which they drove out onto the pier. The fire, however, was between them and fire-fighting equipment on the end of the pier. "All they had was an axe and a crowbar," Cavenaugh said. The firemen had to back the pickup the whole length of the pier and then drive a mile to secure hoses before returning to the head of the pier, he added. "It was going right good when they got back," Cavenaugh said. "There were only five of us and two hoses, however, until Williamsburg got here," he added. Shortly after that two Navy tugs and, eventually, eight Coast Guard 31-foot patrol boats from the Yorktown Coast Guard Station joined in the fight. The fire was under control by 12:30 but only after destroying the 900 foot northern end of the "T." The state has used the southern end to bring in 6.5 million gallons of kerosene and 570,000 gallons of number two fuel oil. Tuesday, October 2, 1973 Section B SCIENTISTS.... You will recall that after my radar demonstration...among other things the aircraft Forrestal had a major fire here at Norfolk. I tried to explain to the authorities that my other-dimensional "attack" had caused it, quite by accident (they blamed it on a sailor)...but they would not listen. Now here is yet another major aircraft carrier fire here at Norfolk...different carrier...and I wonder what poor slob they will blame this one on? Of course, the power from the radar demonstration is still alive and kicking in the Chesapeake Bay area. And another big fire...aimed likewise at the military...is listed here in the second newsclip. You might add these to your "radar demonstration" file. There will be more to add, later...undoubtedly...so keep the file open and active.

About an hour later, two Shelby County sheriff's deputies reported an unidentified flying object-better known as a UFO-hovering over the Tennessee Highway Patrol office at 6348 Highway 70. Yesterday, a spokesman for Memphis Naval Air Station at Millington said two aircraft, fitting the same general size and flying capability were sitting at the NAS landing field as the Memphis Police Department, highway patrol and sheriff's department searched for the UFO. The NAS spokesman said two Harrier AV8 jets capable of taking off straight up and hovering like a helicopter, or flying with the speed of a normal jet, landed at the Navy base at 7:55 p.m. Sunday. The spokesman said it was unlikely the two aircraft, which are based at Beaufort Marine Base in South Carolina, were mistaken for UFOs, because they both made conventional landings at the NAS field an hour before the reported sightings and remained on the ground until 8 a.m. Monday. "I have checked thoroughly and those planes were not even moved on the ground after they landed, until they left," the NAS spokesman said. The UFO description given by sheriff's deputies T. L. Pilalas and J. O. Davis was of a "round, glowing and bluish" object about 50 feet in width which hovered about 30 feet above the ground. The officers said that when they turned on their spotlight, the craft turned its spotlight off. The craft then took off "straight up," they said. At 10:27 the sheriff's radio dispatcher said the UFO was seen moving "backward and forward" over the Frayser area. But no trace of the UFO was found and no explanation given. The Harrier jets which visited NAS that evening are about the same size-4512 feet long-as the object described and have the flight capabilities of the UFO sighted by the two officers and other witnesses. The Harrier jet is made in Great Britain and was purchased by the Marines for use in close air support because of its great versatility and fire-power. According to "Military Aircraft of the World" it has a top speed of 737 miles an hour and a flying radius of about 500 miles. The plane can reportedly accelerate from a hovering position to a speed of about 630 miles an hour within seconds. There are no Harrier jets stationed at Millington and visits by the craft-added to the Marine's inventory of weapons during the last two years-are rare, the NAS spokesman said. === **Page: 23 of 36** cont. (9/16) -From Page 1 the robots did not fit the usual description of crea- tures which emerge from UFOs, other similar robots have also been sighted. "There have been so many sightings," he said, "and each is slightly differ- ent. It's like going to the freeway and watching dif- ferent models of cars and trucks." Last year alone, there were 1042 sightings, some in- volving incredible tales. "There have been other sto- ries just as bizarre as this one," says Harder. Harder was asked to fly to Mississippi by the Aerial Phenomenon Research Or- ganization of Tucson, Ariz., where he is one of 60 scien- tists who study extra- terrestrial phenomena. He has been an APRO consul- tant for 10 years. "They (Hickson and Par- ker) were telling the truth beyond a reasonable doubt," Harder concluded yester- day. "If this were evidence in a murder case, there is no doubt the culprit would be convicted." Harder was convinced that the men were telling the truth because of their reactions while under hyp- nosis. "Their emotional reactions came out," he said, "their terror and fear." If they had been lying, tions could never have been pro luced. Hickson was hypnotized for only 15 minutes, when by a pre-arranged signal, he asked to be awakened. "He got so scared, he couldn't go any farther," Harder said. Parker was hypnotized for about a half hour, but could not remember being inside the spacecraft. He had lost all sensation the minute the robot touched him, he claimed. From the interviews, how- ever, Harder said the scien- tists learned a little more about levitation - it can be imparted to humans by con- tact, he feels. They also learned that the UFO pilots know something about gravity. "Apparently our extraterrestrial friends know as much about gravi- tational fields as we do about electrical fields," said Harder. "There was some gravity in the propulsion of the spacecraft." How to convince the skep- tics? Harder notes that hun- dreds of UFO's have been sighted over the years. "There is a multiplicity of witnesses," he says, adding, "cases have been picked up on radar, and by airborne and ground observers. === **Page: 24 of 36** FT. MYERS, FLA. NEWS PRESS 10/23/73 Law Avoids UFO Sightings TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — When it comes to the recent sightings of unidentified flying objects, North Florida law enforcement officers don't want to get involved. "We haven't had any (UFO) sightings, at least not yet," said Florida Highway Patrol dispatcher Muriel McDonald in Lake City. "I hope we don't. I don't want to see those UFO things myself." Several UFO sightings were reported last week around Tallahassee, but a random check of law enforcement agencies showed few others. Maj. A.E. Reddick, Florida Highway Patrol chief of operations, said his agency had no records of UFO sightings. "What would the highway patrol do with objects up in the sky?" he said with a laugh. "We might occasionally have people call the station and mention it, but usually the newspapers get it first. We get our information from the newspapers." But Sgt. Mike Langston, Tallahassee police department complaint officer, said he had received "three or four" reports of UFOs in the capital city area in the past week. "We send an officer out to check on every report," he said. "But none of the officers in the field has seen them. At least they haven't told me about it. Maybe they thought they'd be laughed at." The number of UFO sightings had tapered off since several strange objects with brightly colored lights were reported last weekend hovering over Georgia, Alabama and North Florida. But last week two Leon County residents reported seeing bright unidentified lights moving across the sky north of Tallahassee. Linda Goodwin said she and her husband saw a "bright, flashing, round-looking object" make three east-west trips across the sky one night. Clay Culp, who lives about a mile south of Mrs. Goodwin, said he saw three objects which looked like white, steady lights, "like a small star" moving across the sky. FT. MYERS, FLA. NEWS PRESS, 10/21/73 Someday 'Folks'll Know It's True' PASCAGOULA, Miss. (AP) — A thousand Unidentified Flying Object reports have come and gone since Desk Sgt. Mary McPherson picked up the telephone and a man said: "I got something to tell you but I don't want you to laugh at me." That was the start of the tale told by Charles Hickson, 45, and Calvin Parker, 19, both of nearby Gautier. Hickson said, defiantly, expecting to be called a liar, was: An oblong, luminous blue UFO landed nearby while they were fishing Oct. 11; three creatures paralyzed him, floated him into the craft, put him before an instrument resembling a big eye for examination, then put him back on the pier. "Though I'll be the laughing stock of the country, I'll tell what I seen," he vowed. "One of these days folks'll know it's true." Parker couldn't add much to the tale; he reportedly fainted when the creatures approached and Hickson said he didn't know what happened to him inside the craft. Since the two men told their tale, there has been a rash of reports of UFO sightings all over the country. A number of deputies here, though unable to accept the space man theory, believe something weird took place in Pascagoula. Hickson, a foreman at the Walker Shipyard, said it all happened at about 8 p.m. as he and Parker were casting for hardhead or croakers from a pier at old Schaupeter Shipyard. The old yard has the sunbleached skeleton of a barge drydock and a couple of iron piers, flanked by rusting auto hulks, empty bottles and beer cans. Hickson said the UFO circled, then came down to hover just above the junk. Suddenly an opening appeared and the three creatures, "all wrinkled and pale," glided out. "There I was, me with just a spinning reel, and Calvin done went hysterical on me," Hickson said. "You can't imagine how it was." Hickson, whose interrogation by police was recorded, was vague on details. "Boss," he said once, "I just don't know. You got to remember how scared I was." Both Hickson and Parker, after the first day or so, refused to talk further with newsmen. Sightings Claimed In Mississippi GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) — "I guess they're grounded by the weather," a deputy sheriff joked as sightings of unidentified flying objects slackened somewhat along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Officials in Jackson County said they received five or six reports of UFOs Tuesday night, none confirmed. The Harrison County sheriff's office said no sightings were reported. UFO reports reached a zenith Monday night, including word from one man that a creature tapped on his windshield after his car stopped on U.S. 90. Local officials have asked a federal investigation. Jackson County Sheriff Fred Diamond said he would "go to the President if I have to, because people down here are entitled to know what is going on—people are beginning to panic." A University of Mississippi sociologist said he feels the government is "soft-pedaling" UFO reports because of the panic factor. "People have never forgotten the Orson Welles broadcast and its effect," it had. "This is a serious problem," said Dr. Joseph Bruening, who has studied UFOs for 20 years. Monday's most bizarre sighting occurred near Keesler Air Force Base at Biloxi. John Lane of Gulfport, a taxi driver for a month, said he encountered a UFO after taking a passenger to the base. He said he saw a blue light coming inland from the Gulf of Mexico. Lane said his taxi stalled and his radio went dead. He said the object returned later and landed on U.S. 90 in front of him. The cab driver said he crouched on the taxi seat and he heard a tapping sound on his windshield. Lane said he saw a flesh-colored creature with bright eyes and a crab-like claw. Bruening said he felt the recent sightings were part of a pattern. "Ten years ago," he said, "we had a wave of sightings similar to what we have now, including landings, contact and the usual flyovers ... "You end up with a hard core of factual data and ... the only hypothesis you have left is that we are being confronted with an extraterrestrial and advanced technical culture—possibly from another solar system." He contended creatures from other solar systems may be visiting the earth and "are not looking for a confrontation—they are trying to get information with the least amount of disturbance." DAILY, COURIER-DEMOCRAT, ARK. - 10/19/73 === **Page: 25 of 36** UFO Reported In Lehigh Betty Andersen, News-Press correspondent in Lehigh Acres, joined skywatchers across the nation in reporting a sighting of an Unidentified Flying Object. Here is her report to the News-Press Friday: "It was a clear bright night Thursday and my neighbor Jim Florio and I had just completed play rehearsal for 'Third Best Sport,' and headed home. "We were driving down 17th Street when the object was spotted at 10:30 p.m. "Jim stopped the car and we got out and stood in the roadway. "The object hovered over the trees, then moved off toward the east, leaving a trail much as a comet would leave behind it. As it left, the light dimmed, then flared again just before it either went out or went behind a cloud that couldn't be seen from where we were standing. "The object was long and disc shaped and flared brightly in the night as it stood still over the treetops. It seemed to become even longer in shape as it began to move away. The color was orange." Oct. 23. RICHMOND TIMES - DISPATCH 10/31/73 Elusive Monster Scaring Illinois Area (C) New York Times Service MURPHYSBORO, Ill. - Mrs. Nedra Green was preparing for bed in her isolated farmhouse near here the other night when a shrill piercing scream came from out by the shed. "It's it again," she said. Four-year-old Christian Baril was in his backyard chasing fireflies with a glass jar. He ran in the house. "Daddy, Daddy," he said, "There's a big ghost out back." Randy Creath, 17, and Cheryl Ray were talking on her darkened porch when something moved in the brush nearby. Cheryl went to turn on a light; Randy went to investigate. At that moment it steeped from the bushes. Towering over the wide-eyed teen-age couple was a creature resembling a gorilla. It was eight feet tall. It had long, shaggy, matted hair colored a dirty white. It smelled foul, like river slime. Woman's skirts puffed DALLAS TIMES HERALD 10/26/73 UFOs sighted all over: federal action asked By U.P. International "They all say they are seeing little-bitty flying saucers with lights on them," said a police dispatcher in Gaston, N.C., adding she's been telling callers to invite any spacemen who land to come to the station house "and we'll have a tea party." Unidentified flying objects were spotted across the United States Friday, and Allen Hynek, chairman of the Northwestern University Astronomy Department, urged the government to "cut out the nonsense and get down to study" of the UFO reports. "This UFO business has been going on for a quarter century," he said. "We forget that sometime there will be a 20th-century science which probably will be as different (from science today) as Babylonian society." A deputy in Winston-Salem, N.C., reported a call from a Walkerton woman who said she was passed in her front yard by a UFO that "had a long blue tail, blew wind up her dress and made the trees in her yard sway." Billy Hatchet said he and his wife Donna were in their pickup truck in Tulsa, Okla., watching flashing objects that were larger than a jumbo jet. Police said the objects were helicopters taking part in an air show. "You couldn't possibly confuse this with an airplane or a helicopter," Mrs. Hatchet said. "A moron couldn't make that big a mistake." Paul Brown of Athens, Ga., said he saw a space craft land on a highway and two 4-foot-tall creatures wearing silver uniforms get out. He shot at them twice with his pistol. "I was shaken. I didn't sleep," he said. Manistee, Mich., County Deputy Sheriff John Gielczck said he saw a "mother ship" and smaller craft. A city policeman in Bonham, Tex., said he saw a UFO that was "cigar-shaped, glowing red at each end." Henry Lambert of Griffin, Ga., said he saw a craft shaped like a 60-foot football hovering off the ground. J. F. Chesson and Leonard Reeves of Livingston, Tex., said they saw a fleet of six UFOs inspect Lake Livingston for three hours. A babysitter at a ranch in Muldoon Canyon, near Bellevue, Idaho, said she saw a UFO that looked like a star. creature turned slowly and crashed off through the brush back toward the river. It was the Murphysboro Monster, a strange creature that has baffled and frightened police and residents for weeks now in this southern Illinois town on the sluggish Big Muddy River. It is a creature that has brought a real kind of Halloween to Murphysboro's 10,000 citizens. And to the hobgoblin is so far benevolent, no one here is taking any chances. Many have armed themselves and a good number of God-fearing families decided to curtail tonight's traditional Halloween trick-or-treating rounds. It all began shortly after midnight June 25. Randy Needham and Judy Johnson were conferring in a parked car on the town's boat ramp down by the Big Muddy. At one point the couple heard a loud cry from the woods next to the car. Many were to describe the lumbering toward the open window was a light-colored, hairy, seven-foot creature matted with mud. Needham, the police report calmly notes, "left the area." He proceeded to the police station and filed an "unknown creature" report. Judy Johnson was married at the time, according to police, but not to Needham. So when the two reported the monster, authorities took it seriously. "They wouldn't risk all that if there weren't really scared," said one. Later, as officer Jimmie Nash and Deputy Sheriff Bob Scott inspected some peculiar footprints in the oozing mud left by the receding river, Nash became a believer in the monster. "I was leaning over when there was the most incredible shriek I've ever heard," he said. "It was in those bushes. That was no bobcator screech owl, and we hightailed it out of there." Officers searched the riverbank for hours, follow-ing an illusive splashing sound, but found nothing. Silently, the trio stared at each other 15 feet apart then, after an eternity of perhaps 30 seconds, the Needham looked up from the front seat. There, ing an illusive splashing sound, but found nothing. NOTE: My own dog, Beau, had the same thing happen as the above child!! Beau was 3, behind our cabin in the woods in Maine playing. Suddenly there was a tremendous explosion and Beau screamed. We ran out. His eyes bulged with fright. He was white as a sheet and in shock. He described the same above creature, and tried to pick him up. Owens. 10/31/73 === **Page: 26 of 36** Tennessee ponders UFOs MEMPHIS, Tenn. (UPI) — Policemen are doubting their own sanity and at least two little boys are afraid to go outdoors in the wake of Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) sightings across West Tennessee. More reports of UFOs emerged Monday as law enforcement officers and private citizens shed their embarrassment and talked about the strange lights they saw blinking and speeding across the sky during the weekend. Collier Policeman Flanning Glover said he saw pulsating lights changing from orange to white and back to orange again. "I know it sounds fantastic," he said, "but it's true. If I was by myself, I'd say I was nuts." Sheriff Nathan Cunningham in Obion County said he saw three different UFOs, including one which zoomed over his ouse at 100mph humming. He was en- couraged when more than 20 other people called him to re- port similar experiences. Joey Smith, 13, and his broth- er, Barry, 9, were on their way to feed the chickens at their southwest Chester County farm when a blinking UFO whirred by. "something green with red lights" had been outside. Their mother said the boys were "scared it was going to get them." There was one report near Memphis International Airport, but it didn't come from the Federal Aviation Agency. "About 15 years ago one of the guys up here said he saw some- thing in the sky he couldn't ex- plain," said an FAA worker. "The Air Force contacted him and sent him about 15 feet of papers to fill out." "You know, I don't think any- body up here is going to see any- thing unfamiliar again." MEMPHIS PRESS-SCIMITAR, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1973 UFOs Spend Night in Mississippi TUPELO, Miss. (UPI) — A National Park Service ranger said Wednesday night he saw a flying saucer the size of a two-bedroom house over his area for about 15 minutes flashing "red, green and yellow lights." "I've been dealing with the public for years and I know people exaggerate and see what they want to see, but I know I saw this," said Thomas E. Westmoreland. Westmoreland, a ranger for the Tupelo subdistrict of the Natchez Trace Parkway, said three other rangers and a deputy sheriff were with him when he saw the strange craft. "Our theory is that it's some highly secret experimental aircraft the Air Force is trying out and doesn't want the public to know about," said Westmoreland. Highway patrolmen, policemen and sheriff all reported seeing strange flying objects over northeastern Mississippi Wednesday night. Similar sightings have been reported in Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and southern Georgia in recent weeks. Most of the latest reports were around the Tupelo area, although radio stations from Corinth, 50 miles to the north, and Kosciusko, 100 miles to the south, said they were swamped with calls from persons who said they had sighted unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Westmoreland said the object he saw had lights, but not the same kind of lights that are on airplanes. "I know this sounds strange, and I can assure you I'm sober," Westmoreland said. "It was approximately 1,000 feet in altitude and roughly the size of a two-bedroom house or a little smaller. "It had red, green and yellow flashing lights—not the standard beacon type you have on aircraft," he said. "They were circular and they were rotating continuously." Arlin Mohundro, sales manager for radio station WKCU in Corinth, said the object he saw hovered about 100 feet off the ground behind the station. "It's lights are red and green and white," Mohundro said. "When it gets close it has kind of a black color. The lights are flashing and it looks like it might be the size of an automobile, but its in an oval shape." 16 UFO Sightings In Southern Ohio DAYTON, Ohio (UPI) — At least 6 sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) were reported within about 12 hours in this southwestern Ohio area, during the night, including one photographed by a policeman, authorities said Thursday. "They would be behind the trees and come up and fly away ... if you startled it or something," said Montgomery County Sheriff's Deputy Michael Sullivan. "No balloon, helicop- ter, or kite can move that fast or has that many lights attached or can go so quickly in a straight up direction." Sullivan said the first sighting was reported at about 8 p.m. Wednesday, the latest in a host of claimed UFO spottings in several parts of the country. Patrolman Robert Bales of nearby New Lebanon, said he saw a set of about four bright lights fused together at the base. He said the object moved across the skyline, came down to treetop level then dis- appeared. The object was visible for 30 minutes to about 25 residents gathered on a city street. Bales said, and he snapped a picture of it. Early Thursday, a woman called the Ohio Highway Patrol to report seeing a multilighted object. The patrol said that when an officer got to the scene a crowd of more than 50 persons had gathered but the object had disappeared. A spokesman at nearby Wright-Patterson Air Force Base said the sightings were all classified as "unofficial" and that none had been detected on radar. He said there will be no investigation unless there is "im- minent danger." The base kept the official Air Force records on UFO sight- ings, logging 12,613 of them from around the world for 22 years until the project, code- named "Operation Blue Book," was discontinued in 1969 and its files sent to the University of Colorado for study. === **Page: 27 of 36** Reports Flood in on North State, National UFO Sightings By United Press International Unidentified Flying Objects, some with spider legs and some that emitted blue-green flashes, were swarming over the San Francisco Bay Area and other Northern California places, according to reports today. Numerous sightings were reported by people and law officers in Oakland. Others saw them in San Jose, Mill Valley, Sausalito and other areas. A woman in Oakland called police Tuesday night about 10 p.m. saying that she was just about to give up a three-hour saucer-watch at her home when she saw it - a craft with spider like legs - settle down on a golf course. Police went there but didn't find the saucer. Oakland police checked out other reported landings including one at busy 55th and Grove Streets. Then officers themselves saw something hovering over the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. It turned out to be a weather balloon. In suburban Marin County north of the Golden Gate, Sheriff's Sgt. Kenneth Froberg said he spotted a "bluish green flash" in the sky Tuesday night that lasted about five seconds and then disappeared. "It was coming out of the sky at an angle to the earth," Froberg said. "It had a long orange tail with articles flying from it." Tuesday night, Mrs. Ruth Wilson of Mill Valley said she was getting out of her car in a parking lot near Marin General Hospital when she also saw a "bluish green object" low in the sky over San Quentin Prison. It vanished in the direction of Oakland, she said. In San Francisco, radio stations reported numerous calls about unidentified flying objects of various description. At San Jose, Mrs. Ann Rodriguez said she was walking with her little girls Tuesday night when they saw something land near the road. It emitted flashes "like they were taking pictures of us" and then took off, she said. There have been a number of recent sightings of strange flying objects in Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, Mississippi, Texas and Georgia and some people, mostly those who have done the sighting, are beginning to get concerned. Ray Stanford of Austin, Tex., told a late-night radio talk show host Tuesday his group, the Association for the Understanding of Man, is setting up a huge signal light to attract unidentified flying objects. He said the light, in Central Texas, can be seen by the naked eye as far as 150 miles into space. People reported seeing strange flying objects at a Pascagoula, Miss., fishing hole, near the Beckley, W. Va., airport and in the piney woods of Louisiana. A woman in New Orleans said she saw something shaped like the Houston Astrodome hover over her home. lasting for several minutes and being repeated several times a day. "It is not precluded that they may be sent by a technically developed extraterrestrial civilization," the Russian report said. Two Pascagoula shipyard workers said they were hustled aboard a blue, fish-shaped craft by three weird creatures who gave them the once-over with an eye-like scanning device. And they're going to take lie detector tests to prove it. At Pine, La., sheriff's deputies chased five orange-reddish flying objects 12 miles through the woods. Pilots at the Raleigh County Airport at Beckley, W. Va., saw a mysterious night flyer that turned red, then green, then white. "Where they are coming from and why they were here is a matter of conjecture," said Northwestern University astronomer Dr. Allen Hynek. "But the fact that they were here on this planet is beyond a reasonable doubt." Dr. Robert O'Connell, an LSU astrophysicist, disagrees with Hynek. "There's probably some mundane explanation for the ones right now and for probably any UFOs," he said. O'Connell said he was skeptical of most UFO reports, especially the Pascagoula case. "I don't necessarily dispute what they're saying," he said. "It could be a hoax. The hoax could be on two levels: the people themselves or somebody else carrying out a hoax." This area [of UFO reports] is notorious for hoaxes. In Chicago, U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. George S. Brown told a news conference Tuesday UFOs were reported in Vietnam during the war and even triggered an air-sea battle near the Demilitarized Zone in 1968 in which an Australian destroyer was hit. "I don't know if this story has ever been told," Brown told a news conference, "but they (UFOs) plagued us in Vietnam during the war." "I think it's nothing," Brown said. "I think it is atmospherics." Dozens of UFOs were again reported by citizens and police officers in southern and central Ohio Tuesday night including a woman who said three UFO's forced her car off a roadway. The objects, mostly described as orange in color, were reported in several areas including Columbus, Coshocton in east-central Ohio, and in the southwestern part of the state at Middletown and Greenfield. The Air Force chief of staff said UFOs touched off fighting during the Vietnam war, and even the Russians have been hearing things from outer space. The Tass News Agency said Soviet scientists are hearing unusual radio signals - never heard before - coming in pulses after definite lapses of time. === **Page: 28 of 36** Virginian-Pilot, Sunday, Oct. 21, 1973 A23 Lights, Ovals All the Rage Twinkle, Twinkle in Sky, Space Aliens Passing By WASHINGTON (UPI) —Four people driving into Dawson, Ga., reported sighting two strange, oval-shaped lights in the sky. A policeman with a background in military intelligence saw the same phenomena, and the current rash of unidentified flying object sightings began. "They were sort of shaped like a football, about the size of a car," officer Gary Ellington said in describing the Aug. 30 incident. "The lights kept changing colors. They would come in several hundred yards from us, then back off and fade out. I know I saw it." Ten days later, Ress Clinton said he saw a golden, egg-shaped object descend near Griffin, Ga., burn a hole in the ground and disappear in a cloud of steam. A state chemist investigated 2½ hours later and found soil temperature close to the boiling point of water. Oct. 3, Thomas E. Westmoreland, a National Park Service ranger, said he saw a saucer-shaped craft with red, green, and yellow blinking lights hovering north of Tupelo, Miss. "I know this sounds strange," he said, "but I can assure you I'm sober." The mushrooming number of UFO sightings—phenomena have been reported from at least half the 50 states—were reminiscent of those of the '50s and '60s. Then came the astounding report Oct. 11 by two shipyard workers from Gautier, Miss., who said two creatures carried them into a spaceship emitting bluish haze, scanned them with an eyelike device, and released them. Police and scientists using hypnosis were unable to break their story. James Harder of the Aero-Phenomenon Research Organization and the University of California said "their emotions and very strong feelings of terror are impossible to fake under hypnosis." In addition, the Soviet news agency Tass early in the week reported that Russian radio observatories had picked up a pattern of radio signals of a type never before heard. "It is not precluded that they may be sent by a technically developed extraterrestrial civilization," the Russian report said. The possibility that intelligent life may exist elsewhere is not taken lightly by the scientific community. Many scientists believe the odds are great, even overwhelming, that life of some kind exists in some other star system in our galaxy and beyond. The United States and Russia are actively listening for radio signals from an intelligent civilization trying to make contact. But Dr. William Howard, assistant director of the National Radio Astronomical Observatory, said that the United States had heard no such signals and that Russia had not reported their frequency and position in the sky. "If it were that important, I would suspect we would have some indication directly from these people so we could look," he said. Dr. Carl Sagan, noted astronomer from Cornell University, which operates the world's largest radio observatory in Puerto Rico, said the reports of the signals from space should not be linked with the rash of UFO sightings. "I don't think the probable invalidity of the one (UFOs) ought to make us ignore what evolves in the other," he said. "There are hundreds of people who reliably are seeing lights in the sky. That's OK. So there are lights in the sky. There are lots of explanations for lights in the sky. So I'm perfectly willing to believe the governor of Ohio that he saw something that was in the sky and he didn't know what it was. That's the definition of an unidentified flying object. But that's very different from saying it has anything to do with being visited by space-ships from elsewhere." The Air Force reached that conclusion in 1969 after a two-year, $539,740 study called "Project Blue Book." Dr. Edward U. Condon, a physicist who headed the study, said in an interview last April that he thought the effort was "a waste of government money." But Dr. Hynek, the Northwestern astronomer, disagrees. He said a government agency should be established to study the problem. Stuart Nixon, executive director of the private National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena, said the danger in dealing with UFO reports is that something important may be dismissed among the large number of explainable sightings. "This used to be typical strategy of the Air Force, saying if you can shoot down eight or nine, you can shoot down the tenth. I'm not at all sure this is the case." "A majority are going to turn out to have very conventional explanations," he said. "We've got to be honest about that." Astronomers say the source of many, if not most, of the reports probably are the planets Mars and Venus. Balloons, stars, planes, birds, radar quirks, optical illusions, and clouds also explained many UFO sightings in the past. Scientists Note: Sat. Night at 1:30 Two men were seen by my next door neighbor, from his window, trying to enter a ground floor window of my house! (Colored men.) My family and I were in bed asleep at the time. He yelled at them and they ran away. This makes two recent break-ins at my home!! Keep your fingers crossed I stay alive a while longer! -Owens (PK) Manx 10/22/73 * Wilbur Burland === **Page: 29 of 36** MEMPHIS PRESS-SCIMITAR, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1973 # More UFOs Reported On Coast PASCAGOULA, Miss. (AP) — Investigative scientists and reports of unidentified flying objects continued to pour into the Mississippi Gulf Coast nearly a week after two men said they were taken aboard a nonterrestrial craft. The latest sightings occurred Monday night, shortly after coast authorities said two Houston scientists were en route to the area to study the reported abduction of Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker. Authorities first said the scientists were from NASA, but later said they were not associated with the federal agency. Hickson and Parker went to coast officials last Thursday, saying they had been taken aboard a blue craft occupied by red-skinned creatures for about a half hour. Coast officials and two other scientists closely examined the men on their story. Both groups said they were convinced the men were picked up by a non-terrestrial craft following questioning under hypnosis of the Gautier residents. The state has had numerous sightings of UFOs over the past several weeks. Reports of sightings began in the northern section of Mississippi, drifting last week to the coast area. Monday's sightings occurred from D'Lo to North Biloxi. A coast television station said reports it got from residents carried nearly the same description of a white object with red and yellow lights. Charles Necaise of D'Lo said he attempted to follow the UFO, but his car quit on him. "I thought it was just a bunch of guys trying to make news," Necaise said of earlier reported sightings. "I never believed it until this." Mrs. Bib Sigler of North Biloxi said something flew over her home, causing television and telephone interference. She said the passage lit up her yard and inside of her home like a floodlight. A Gulfport taxi driver reported a blue-colored space craft stalled his cab and that a creature with crab-like claws tapped on his windshield as he crouched on the seat early today. Other sightings were reported along the Gulf Coast and at Meridian where a newspaper reporter said he stopped his car to observe a blimp-like object with bright, oscillating lights. # Radar Jams As Residents Report UFO COLUMBIA, Miss. (UPI) —The Marion County director of civil defense said his weather radar "became totally jammed" after what he thought was an aircraft moved rapidly across his screen—at precisely the same time a local carpenter and his family spied an unidentified flying object in the sky Sunday night. James Thornhill, a veteran Air Force meteorologist, said "funny noises were coming over my radar screen" when he saw what he thought to be an aircraft move on the scope. Thornhill said "It got rather close to the station . . . and seemed to become stationary, and all of a sudden my radar just became totally jammed." "I've never seen anything quite like it since World War II," he said. About the time Thornhill's radar was "acting up," he said 38-year-old George Thompson of Columbia called him to ask if he had "seen the UFO." "I told him no, but that something had happened to my radar," Thornhill said. About 45 miles away, authorities in Jones County and the city officials in the little town of Ellisville began receiving calls from numerous residents who maintained they saw UFO's in the October skies. Columbia is 75 miles north of New Orleans. === **Page: 30 of 36** Balt. Sun Oct 18, '73 Sky lights bring rash of inquiries Whether they really were UFO's was not established but hundreds of Marylanders, in- cluding a State Police helicop- ter pilot, last night sighted lights in the sky. So numerous were calls to the State Police that troopers were ordered to gaze at the sky and watch for any abnor- mal light phenomena. Oscillating lights The pilot who saw a "very large" airborne vehicle with white lights oscillating up and down the sides was Trooper Michael Wenrich, a Vietnam veteran and seasoned pilot on a medivac mission over Prince Georges county. He radioed the control tower at Andrews Air Force Base at 7:40 P.M., reporting his sight- ing. He "just about went nuts," according to the State Police. When indeed they had a flying object on their radars in the direction and altitude described by the trooper. Later last night, the An- drews tower said the object "possibly" was a "special ex- perimental aircraft" flying from Patuxent River Naval Station and testing an innova- tive lighting system for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Another craft that could have produced a similar light effect, according to the air base, was a WPGC "Good Guys" aircraft with a sweep- ing light system. It was in the air promoting the rock station. A third airplane was the strongest candidate for the UFO, however. It was the Maryland State Lottery air- craft, which in the past has re- sulted in scores of UFO calls. Last night it was flying in the Washington area, drawing in today's lottery advertising in Wheaton, Md. In Baltimore county State Police said that aside from the Washington metropol- itan area, UFO sightings were reported in Cecil, Harford and Baltimore counties. In the latter area, a second helicopter was even sent to investigate the reports but it found "nothing extraordinary among the stars," a State Po- lice spokesman said. === **Page: 31 of 36** # Rash of UFOs reported sighted over Valley This past weekend saw another rash of UFO (unidentified flying object) sightings in south and west Georgia, several of which were made from Columbus and other areas of the Chattahoochee Valley. The most recent sightings were made from Columbus by residents of the northern portion of the city. Leonard Waller, who lives at the corner of Beallwood Avenue and 41st Street, said he spotted "five or six UFOs darting back and forth." Waller said the objects appeared to be over the Manchester area. "They looked to be white or yellow," Waller said, adding that each would dart in one direction, come to a full stop and dart in the opposite direction. Residents in Manchester and Talbotton made several sightings Saturday night. Descriptions of the UFOs vary only slightly. In each case observers report that the object emitted a dull yellow glow, was as big as an automobile and moved silently through the heavens. Mrs. Joanne Cornwell was among a group of four persons who sighted UFOs near Manchester Saturday around 10:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. "We followed the first UFO across the sky until it disappeared over the tree line on Pine Mountain," Mrs. Cornwell said Sunday. "We watched it for at least a minute as it glided slowly through the air." Mrs. Cornwell, who gazed at the sky until 4 a.m. Sunday, said on the second UFO sighting, which lasted about two and a half minutes, she noticed an airplane flying toward the object. "It seemed as if the airplane was trying to overtake the UFO," she said. Manchester State Patrolman Sammy Taylor, along with his wife, Shirley, and Mrs. Cornwell's husband Gary, also sighted the UFOs. "The object came from the east over Pine Mountain about 100 feet above the ground," Taylor recalled. "It looked to be a solid object at least the size of a car and giving off a dull yellow glow." "Then we saw another object which I don't believe was the same as the first coming from the northeast," he said. Taylor said there have been sightings of UFOs in the Manchester area for nearly two weeks. "People at first didn't believe it when they first heard of UFOs but I can tell you, they believe it now," Taylor said. "I didn't believe it at first myself." Taylor said an object which a Woodland policeman said he saw fall from the sky was "obviously a hoax." "That piece of metal was definitely man-made," he said. "But what we saw Saturday night was definitely not man-made." Taylor said the UFOs sighted Saturday over Manchester were "certainly not flares." "When I was in Vietnam, I saw every kind of military flare made and none of them looked like the objects we saw hovering overhead," he said. The Manchester patrolman said he contacted the U.S. Naval Air Station in Albany, but "they wouldn't have anything to do with it." Taylor also said he contacted Charles Wooford of the National Investigation Committee for Aerial Phenomena in Cocoa Beach, Fla. He said Wooford indicated that his group would investigate the Manchester sightings. Talbott County Deputy Sheriff Charles Pope said he and another Manchester State Patrolman, R. E. Traylor, saw a UFO about two miles east of Talbotton about 11:15 p.m. Saturday. "It was coming right at the patrol car," Pope said. "It looked like a dull light bulb." Pope said that he and Patrolman Traylor pulled off the road and turned off the car's headlights to watch the object overhead. "When we turned off the lights it reversed and went in the opposite direction," Pope said. "It was about 300 feet in the air and a quarter of a mile away." "It looked like a giant light bulb," he said. "I just couldn't believe it at first." The UFO sightings near Manchester and Talbotton represent only a few of the sightings noted in Georgia as well as Florida and Alabama. Patrolmen in five Alabama cities have reported sighting UFOs during the past week. Officer Keith Broach of Auburn, Ala. said he saw something the size of an airplane which appeared red and white and then changed to green and white before flying away Saturday night. A policeman in Lanett, Ala. has also reported sighting a UFO about the size of a car only a few feet from the ground. === **Page: 32 of 36** # FT WORTH STAR TELEGRAM 10/26/73 UFOS Setting Off Book Sales Boom Picture, Page 2A By JON MCCONAL Star-Telegram Contributing Editor Sales of books on flying saucers are soaring as a result of the recent boom in UFO sightings in this area and across the nation. And Fort Worth Public Library's shelves, with some 35 books on the subject, are bare. "No wait a minute, we do have two copies back there now, but they'll be gone before long. And, we have a waiting list for the books and it's growing. There's as many as eight names signed up for some of the books," said Mrs. Betty Bensen, a library employee. She said all ages were checking out the books. "And, the books are staying out," she said. Several book stores said their supplies of books on UFOs are dwindling fast. "We were just this minute talking about this," said Mrs. Catherine Harvey, manager of Century Book Store at 5033 Trail Lake Drive. "We have really had an increase in sales of these books." So much so, she said, that a special display of nine books about UFOs and flying saucers has been positioned by the cash register. "People come in to get another book and see these and they buy a couple of them," said Mrs. Harvey. She said six of the titles had been bought out. One fast selling book is Eric Von Daniken's "Chariots of the Gods." This book is about the possibility of outer space visitors to this planet centuries ago. "But something else that is intriguing is the increase in sales of the books by Immanuel Velikovsky. I have 27 special orders for his book, "Worlds in Collision." I think the UFO sightings have caused people to think about some of his theories more carefully." A spokesman at Barber's Book Store, 215 W. 8th, said there hasn't been a great increase in UFO book buying at his store yet. "But I'm anticipating one. So we're stocking up on them. And today we got a brand new title in the paperback line on the subject of flying saucers," he said. Mrs. Harvey said she was amazed at the people who are buying the books. "It's young people, middle-age people and even elderly people," she said. But, she attributes a remark made by a young customer as to the reason for sudden increase in sales. He said: "Why should we think we are the only life in this vast universe?" DALLAS TIMES HERALD, Wed., Oct. 24, 1973 PALACIOS, Tex. (UPI) — Mayor Bill Jackson says he realizes President Nixon is busy at present, but, when things calm down around the White House, Jackson would like Nixon to issue a proclamation making this Gulf Coast town a Mecca for interstellar visitors. "It is my belief that every traveler needs a home away from home," Jackson said Tuesday. "And it is my intention to go one step further to reassure any lonely space traveler is always welcome at our airport." A "big red blob" flew over the Palacios football stadium during a high school game last week and disrupted the planned halftime activities. Another unidentified flickering red object was seen over San Antonio and two commercial airline pilots preparing to land at San Antonio International Airport erased the thing for a few minutes. "UFOmania" also hit the Texas communities of Fort Worth, Brownwood and Mesquite, near Dallas, this week. Jackson would like to tell any visitors from outer space that they are more than welcome in Palacios and to prove it he hopes Nixon will declare this fishing and farming community of 4,000 persons located between Houston and Corpus Christi the "Interplanetary Capital of the Universe." "As soon as he (Nixon) gets his head above the water up there in Washington, we'll contact him for official sanction," Jackson said. "He seems to be pretty well occupied at the moment." Jackson said the UFO at the football game appeared in the second quarter. "They finished out the quarter, but I'm afraid the thing detracted from some of the halftime activity," the mayor said. "It was a big red blob. It would travel for a few seconds, stop dead still for 15 to 20 seconds, then move on." Red, green and blue flashing lights were seen close to the ground in Brownwood. The police radio went off the air when the lights appeared but functioned again 90 minutes later when the lights disappeared. And 14 members of a Texas Christian University astronomy laboratory in Fort Worth and their instructor saw a "cylindrical shaped object with rounded ends" traveling about 4,000 miles an hour. "It was the first time I ever saw anything like this," instructor Lawrence Brown, 35, said. === **Page: 33 of 36** Chico Enterprise-Record, Oct. 17-73 Chico (Calif.) Enterprise-Record, Wednesday, Oct. 17, 1973. Page 7A Officer Claims He Saw 'Blue Green' Sky Flash SAUSALITO (UPI) - Marin County Sheriff's Sgt. Kenneth Froberg said he spotted a "blueish green flash" in the sky Tuesday night that lasted about five seconds and then disappeared. "It was coming out of the sky at an angle to the earth. It had a long orange tail with articles flying from it," said the sergeant, who was on duty at a Sausalito substation near the Golden Gate Bridge. He said an El Sobrante woman reported seeing the object while feeding her horses and that according to her report, "it came in a horizontal direction and then took off." Froberg spotted the object at approximately 10:20 p.m. and said it seemed to have been located in the sky toward the Alameda County city of Oakland. A California Highway Patrol officer on duty at the Golden Gate Bridge plaza said, "I've been looking, but I haven't seen anything." Hamilton Air Force Base said there was no radar sighting of any unidentified object nor any explanation of what the object could be. Vandenberg Air Force Base in Southern California said there were no missile launches during the evening. Such launches have been the source of similar sightings in the past. Student Says UFO Seen In Chico Orchard Area After an absence of UFOs for several days, one has reportedly made an appearance again in the Chico area. Bidwell Junior High School student David Lawrence of Rt. 2 Box 288 reported yesterday to the Enterprise-Record that he saw a strange object at about 10:15 p.m. Thursday over an orchard near his home. He described it as egg-shaped with red and blue flashing lights. He said it "darted around in the sky," making no noise, until it disappeared. Later that night, he said, he saw a similar object hovering over an orchard before it appeared to go down behind some trees. He said he could not be sure whether it had landed. He said he watched the object from eight to 10 minutes both times and was sure it was not an airplane or helicopter. Young Lawrence, who said he had read about UFOs, said it was not the first time he had seen a strange object in the sky over Chico. He said that about this time last year, he and his father, David Lawrence, and his brother, Danny, were driving on a road north of Chico when they spotted a "super bright light" which went out, revealing an egg-shaped craft with a dorsal fin red light at the rear and blue light at the front. The youth said they watched the object until it went out of sight. Lawman Says UFO Seen Today on Oroville Trek You can add Chico to the growing list of areas where unidentified flying objects (UFOs) have been spotted lately. Chico police officer James Book reported seeing an orange object in the sky that illuminated an area near him and gradually grew smaller until disappearing. The officer made the sighting at 5 a.m. today near the intersection of Highways 99 and 149 south of town as he was transporting a prisoner to Oroville. Book said it appeared to flare up, illuminating the terrain around him, then turned orange and gradually grew smaller. "I really thought it was an aircraft on fire," he said. But a check with the Federal Aviation Administration office in Red Bluff showed no distressed airplanes in the area. Federal aviation officials also revealed no jet flights or rocket launchings took place or could have been observed in the area at the time of the sighting. Was it a UFO? Officer Book said he wasn't sure. However, a creative dispatcher described the incident in the radio log as an "orange glow becoming smaller and dimmer as though the craft was returning into space." Similar sightings have been reported across the nation in the past several days and two Mississippi men related an actual visit by strange looking creatures and their spaceship. See related stories on Page 7A. === **Page: 34 of 36** MEMPHIS PRESS-SCIMITAR, MONDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1973 Astronomers Visit Pascagoula, Miss. Experts Say UFO Tale 'Not Unbelievable' PASCAGOULA, Miss. (UPI) - A Northwestern University astronomer says the "very terrifying experience" of two men indicates that a strange craft from another planet did land in Mississippi. "Where they are coming from and why they were here is a matter of conjecture," Dr. Allen Hynek said, "but the fact that they were here on this planet is beyond a reasonable doubt." Hynek and Dr. James Harder of the University of California interviewed by hypnosis two shipyard workers who told authorities they were fishing from an old pier in the Pascagoula River when a "fish-shaped" vehicle emitting a bluish haze approached from the sky. Charles Hickson, 42, and 18-year-old Calvin Parker, both of the Gautier community, have maintained throughout a weekend of intense questioning that they were taken aboard the craft by three weird creatures with wrinkled skin, crab-claw hands and pointed ears. Hickson, who was scientific consultant to Project Blue Book when it was conducted on UFOs by the U.S. Air Force in the 1960's, said after talking to Parker and Hickson: "There is no question in my mind that these men have had a very terrifying experience. Under no circumstances should they be ridiculed. Let's protect these men." Hickson and Parker, "both scared to death and shaking all over," told the Jackson County sheriff's office of their bizarre experience Thursday night. Sheriff Fred Diamind said he believed "something happened to the men because they were "scared to death and on the verge of a heart attack." Other residents of the Pascagoula area reported to the sheriff's office they saw a similar UFO in the vicinity of the fishing location about the time the two men maintain they did. The men, who have volunteered to undergo lie-detector tests, were checked for radiation exposure at Keesler Air Force Base, but the results were negative. Hynek said although the men were able to be hypnotized "their experience was so traumatic that it was essential to progress slowly." "These are not imbalanced people," Harder said. "They're not crackpots." "There was definitely something here that was not terrestrial, of the earth," he said. By LYDEL SIMS I have just worked out a new word for what ails most of us. What we suffer from, friends, is gullicism. Gullicism is made up of equal parts of abject gullibility and uninformed skepticism. It works like this. On the one hand, we listen in stupefied, jaw-sagging credulity as crooked politicians, con men and other eloquent rascals pile up lies to distract our attention from various ripoffs. And we do it over and over again, even though we know how often we've been suckered in the past. On the other hand, we bray like hysterical jackasses whenever anybody tries to tell us something we don't understand. And we do this over and over again, also, even though we know how often we've laughed at truth in the past. You don't need me to cte examples of the abject-gullibility bit. But how about uninformed skepticism? All right, listen. Two Mississippi fishermen report they have been taken into an unknown flying object, photographed and released. Bingo, the nation busts out laughing and everybody agrees the men are simpletons, drunkards and liars. We ought to know. We're our own best examples. WE DO THIS without even examining their story, you understand. That is because, like Pavlov's dog or Uncle Sugar's computer, we have been programmed. You will recall that the dog associated bell-ringing with food, so it salivated when a bell rang even if there was not any food. The computer, to use one recent example cited here, has been told the last unit in a name is what you call people so it sees the name Mrs. Charles Taintor III and promptly starts calling her Mrs. Iii. As for us, at the sight or sound of the letters UFO we begin feeling superior and amused. We picture little green men from Mars. We think how wise we are not to believe in them. "How stupid can you get?" we chuckle to one another. WHETHER THE STORY the fishermen told is accurate is, of course, not the point. The point is we don't even bother to listen all the way through before we start guffawing. Just possibly there might be a little bitty bit of truth in their story, right? Maybe it's not entirely fair to call them fools. Maybe, even leaving Mars out of it, there might be some sort of explanation. On the other hand, maybe there isn't. But I'll tell you what I'm considering. For a few months, just to get the feel of it, it might be worth the effort to turn the gullicism around. You think it would really hurt to be a little more receptive to simple fishermen with flying-saucer stories and a lot more skeptical of politicians with something to sell? === **Page: 35 of 36** Easily Explained: Dogs Disembarking From UFO John Keasler STILL MORE UFO'S were sighted in Georgia and Florida, the Associated Press reported. According to one sighting, a spaceship landed in a cemetery near Savannah. Several large black dogs got out and trotted off. This seems perfectly reasonable and much more plausible than any attempt so far to explain UFO sightings. I have prepared a paper for reading at the next convention of Scientific UFO Investigators. If seems both pertinent and pressing that, in the face of widespread skepticism, I release portions of that paper at this point in space. It has become inherent part and parcel of any otherwise ordinary UFO sighting that some wildly over-imaginative "scientist" immediately and compulsively attempts to "explain away" the most commonplace flying saucer. We in the UFO-believing community are all too aware of this dreary proclivity. And, truly, the black dog sighting is no exception to such naive cynicism. Already "experts" are trying to explain it. Have you ever heard of anybody who went looking for a spaceship full of black dogs? Who needs it? Further proof of the authenticity of this doggie case lies simply in the official report from the Air Force itself. For the first time, perhaps, the Air Force has verified a landing! Thusly: "... The Air Force says it knows of nothing unusual and isn't investigating ..." Think about that admission! Place yourself in the office of the Air Force UFO-Listening Officer last Sunday night. The report comes in! "Major," says the lieutenant, "we got a report that lots of black dogs got out of a UFO over near Savannah." "Dogs, eh?" says the major, crisply. "Uh ... black dogs, huh? Did they, uh, have collars?" The lieutenant says on the phone, "Did they have collars?" Nobody knows. Just that they were large black dogs that got out of a spaceship. The lieutenant hangs up. "Shall we investigate?" "How the devil do we investigate stray dogs around 'Savannah?" says the major. "Nothing unusual about that." See the resultant wording of the report? "Air Force says It knows of nothing unusual and is not investigating ..." The shroud of close-mouthed secrecy has finally been ripped from the Air Force, and you read it here! What is the Air Force trying to hide? It can't all be coincidence! Further proof is this: There are 88,000,000,000,343,981 planets and stars. It is mathematically certain that the law of averages dictates that many -- probably millions -- of these sustain life. A computerized breakdown shows that by the most conservative estimate dogs have evolved on at least 3,211,456 planets or stars. (Where did you think dogs came from?) And you know how it is with dogs on a trip. The wonder is not that a spaceship disgorged a few black dogs near Savannah. The wonder is that we are not up to our hips in space dogs. === **Page: 36 of 36** Sierra Sun Serving the communities of . . .

At 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, Pete Werbel of Truckee may have seen the most astounding unidentified flying object ever witnessed over Tahoe skies. Werbel admits to having scanned the skies unsuccessfully many times in hopes of sighting an UFO. But Tuesday night, standing on Bridge St., he glanced up to see an orange ball of fire tagged with a bluish orange tail. It lay very slow on the horizon and probably was a couple hundred miles away, but "I could see it more distinctly than any other stars because of its size." In the moment it took to call a friend, it disintegrated in what appeared to be an explosion. The tail evaporated, the orange ball splintered into little clusters. Then it disappeared. "The object appeared to be about the size of an Apollo rocket," said Werbel, and it gave the impression of being some such object. "It was moving south to north," he said, "and could have been a meteor, or more likely, a rocket reentering the atmosphere." "I was coming home from North Shore with my husband Sunday night," said a South Tahoe resident who preferred to remain anonymous. "And suddenly this bright green thing flashed across the sky." "It looked like a big football," she continued, "and it just flew straight and suddenly landed somewhere south of us. I wasn't going to say anything about it, but when I read in the Tribune that people had seen something similar in San Francisco, I thought I had better call you." And in Zephyr Cove, a sheriff's spokesman said the sub-station received a call last night "from a man who claimed he saw a flying object on Spooner Summit which had fire coming out of it." The caller was advised to contact the South Tahoe Airport but apparently decided against it as the airport received no calls. A nation-wide survey by United Press International Thursday morning reported a wave of UFO sightings from coast-to-coast Wednesday. But a scientist, Arthur Pursell, president of the Tulare Astronomical Association, said an exploding meteor was responsible for the sightings in Northern California. Alpine Meadows area with a citizen informant without finding anything, a spokesman at the substation reported. A private plane from Truckee-Tahoe Airport flew Tuesday night over the Alpine Meadows-Granite Chief, Desolation Valley and Donner Lake areas without seeing a reported object. And while one psychiatrist has called most of the sightings "fantasy," Dr. J. Allen Hynek, chairman of Northwestern's astronomy department, has called for a government agency to investigate UFO reports which "could set the stage for a panic situation" if they continue to multiply. "At least somebody should keep track of what is going on here—make a record of the reports and plot them on a map," Hynek said. "I wouldn't mind being sort of a Ralph Nader for UFOs for a while." Meantime, law enforcement offices in the Truckee-North Tahoe area had several calls from citizens between about 10 and 10:30 p.m. Thursday. Callers reported something that appeared to be a burning plane down in the Squaw Peak or Alpine Meadows areas.

Por Tony Santiago La Policía informó en la mañana de hoy viernes sobre la "misteriosa" aparición de un "extraño ser", descrito como de características humanoides, que se alega fue encontrado en un valle apartado en uno de los pueblos del centro de Puerto Rico. Según el informe de la Policía, declaraciones de presuntos testigos que afirman haber visto al "extraño ser" le describen específicamente como de la estatura de un hombre común, con patas, boca y nariz. Se informó en adición que la "misteriosa criatura" posee orejas bastante largas y puntiagudas, rabo y manos en forma de palancas, como las de los cangrejos. Su rostro y ojos son "bastante rojos", y su apariencia física no coincide con la de "algo terrenal". La información recibida desde el Cuartel General de la Policía señala además que tan pronto se tuvo conocimiento del hallazgo del "extraño ser", dos científicos estadounidenses, uno de ellos de apellido Freeman, se trasladaron a Puerto Rico para analizar a la presunta "criatura". El informe de la Policía no ofrece otros detalles sobre el particular, indicándose que el asunto se mantiene "en estricta reserva". No se informó donde pudiera estar el referido "humanoide" y si el mismo fue encontrado con o sin vida. Por otro lado, un vocero del Departamento de Ciencias Marinas del Recinto Universitario de Mayaguez indicó esta mañana que ellos habían "tomado conocimiento" sobre el particular, declinando ofrecer comentario adicional al respecto. Concepción artística de la "misteriosa criatura" que se alega fue encontrada en Puerto Rico, dibujada a base de las descripciones contenidas en un informe suministrado en la mañana de hoy viernes desde el Cuartel General de la Policía. -- (Dibujo por Miche Medina) Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Chase, Say Military Policemen Two badly shaken military policemen say a "saucer-shaped flying object" dived at their patrol car and ran it off the road in a 100-mile-an-hour nighttime chase across a deserted U.S. Air Force base. The weird incident took place at Hunter Air Force Base near Savannah, Ga., during the same 48-hour period in which a wave of UFOs was reported over the Alabama-Georgia border 300 miles away. "I thought it was going to hit us," MP Randy Shade, 23, said of the UFO, "or at least smash the blue police light on top of our car." "I kept my foot on the gas - we were going over 100 - and concentrated on keeping the car on the road. But I could hardly see through the windshield because of the red and white flashes of the saucer's lights just a few feet above us." Said his MP partner, Burt Burns, 22: "I was terrified when that saucer chased us. I was crouched under the dashboard just waiting for it to hit our rooflights. The saucer itself wasn't lit but we could see its outline clearly in the glow from the flashing, pulsing lights underneath it." "It couldn't have been more than a couple of feet above us. I reckon the saucer's size at 50 to 75 feet across." For nearly a mile, the patrol car dashed across the outer taxiway of Hunter Air Force Base. The UFO so unnerved Shade, he skidded off the roadway at a right-angle turn and stopped on the grass. "The UFO then went back up to tree-top level and skimmed off into the distance," Shade later reported. The incident occurred early on September 8 while the two Army MPs were on a routine security patrol at Hunter, an obsolete base scheduled for complete shutdown soon. Burns, a former helicopter crew chief, said they first spotted "a cluster of lights in the sky about 2,000 feet up. The lights tracked across the sky flashing red and orange, blue and white." The UFO disappeared behind some trees. But 15 minutes later, at 2:45 a.m., the UFO returned, the MPs reported. After hovering at one end of the deserted runway, its lights flashing brilliantly, it began moving toward the MP patrol car. "When it got closer, we could see the lights were clustered underneath a metallic-looking saucer-shaped body," Shade said. "The saucer didn't make a sound. I couldn't see anything like portholes or windows. It was scary. We just sat there amazed." A base spokesman, Lt. David Anderson, said: "There is no official explanation as to what it was. Nothing showed on radar." THEY ALL SAW IT: These police officers all sighted the same UFO in Carrville, Ala. Left to right are: Wayne Sexton and Stephen Segrest of Tallassee police; Billy Clayton of Carrville police; and James Smith, a Carrville auxiliary policeman.

On October 25, 1973, two days later, a UFO appeared over the head of a policeman in Chase City, Virginia (within the specified 100 mile area) for 15 minutes, as described in the Richmond Times-Dispatch dated October 26, 1973. Thus, an example of the type of occurrence predicted in Mr. Owen's letter to me, written in advance of the occurrence, did take place. B-4 Richmond Times-Dispatch, Fri., Oct. 26, 1973 Sincerely, Max L. Fogel Max L. Fogel, Ph.D. Director of Science and Education UFO Seen, Chase City Police Say By John Clement Times-Dispatch State Staff CHASE CITY - Sam Huff, a policeman for the past seven years, said he watched an unidentified flying object for 15 minutes around 2 a.m. Thursday. Huff said Marlon Owen, the Chase City police radio dispatcher, first sighted the object after noticing an unusual light reflection on the window of the police station. Owen radioed Huff, who drove to the west side of town and parked on a railroad bridge, almost under the object, Huff said. Huff said the soundless object, fairly large, with a color that resembled a very bright star, hovered motionless over the town for about five minutes then moved rapidly to the north, reversed direction and returned to a position over his head. It stayed motionless for another five minutes before heading rapidly in a westerly direction, he added. UFOs are probably taken a little more matter-of-factly in this area since two well-publicized and still unexplained sightings occurred in 1967 in nearby South Hill and Lunenburg County. In the South Hill incident, a warehouseman said, in April 1967 that he rounded a curve and encountered an object 12 feet in diameter, standing on three legs, that resembled an aluminum storage tank. The object suddenly left the ground in a burst of brilliant light, he reported. The blacktop street caught fire, and when police arrived on the scene the tar was still hot and smoking. Two months later, a rural Lunenburg County storekeeper said she was startled one night by a thundering roar. She looked out her bedroom window and saw a bright light which she described as so bright "you could see every leaf on the tree." That object also allegedly left burn marks in the highway.

Friday, Oct. 26, 1973..... Dr. Max Fogel, Mensa, Philadelphia Dear Dr. Max: I am tickled pink...to be able to send you this electrifying documentation! First, because the UFO's (SI's) that I contacted telepathically with my special UFO brain...answered almost immediately...very next day, in fact...by appearing in the area I specified in my letter to you earlier plus showed themselves to the police, just as I specified...matter of fact, this UFO made SURE the message got over...by leaving the policeman and then RETURNING! (See newsclip.) Second, am tickled...because this couldn't happen to a nicer scientist than Dr. Max Fogel. As you well know, just a handful of the scientific community has guts enough to let it be known that they are in contact with PK Man...and only you...have guts enough to give me signed confirmations whenever I bring about a "miracle". (Dr. Hynek should dam well have sent me a signed, notarized confirm when I stopped that volcano in Sicily, but nope, he didn't.) So to me...you are "King of the Scientists"! Now, if any scientists that you know want to scoff at me, or your connection with me...simply show them the letters I sent to you last Tuesday and Wednesday...then show them this newsclipping! The SI's LIKE this idea...this experiment-demonstration I have set up...and they have lost no time in acting on it! I had thought perhaps they'd take weeks to show up, but they did it the very next day! So, it has begun! So, to briefly recap...I wrote to you last Tuesday and again Wednesday...telling you that I would communicate with my UFO's (that I have worked with and for for 10 years) and ask them to appear within a 100 mile radius of where I live, the Eastern Shore...using the "bullseye". Furthermore, I told you I would go to the police and other responsible persons. Furthermore, I told you I would also telepathically contact the "UFO Monsters" of various kinds...and bring them, also, to this area. Furthermore, in time to come, I told you, I'd make this 100 mile area the "UFO capitol of the world" in essence. All right. Already one UFO has answered my call, and in no uncertain terms, as this Oct. 26 newsclip from the Richmond Times-Dispatch newspaper points out! Your friend and brother M.... Ted Owens (PK Man -- The UFO Prophet) Box 48, Cape Charles, Virginia === **Page: 3 of 9** Tuesday, 2 PM afternoon, Oct. 23, 1973 Dr. Max Fogel, Int'l Research Scientist, Mensa, Phila. Dear Dr. Max...just called your home and left message with Joy to pass on to you when you get home this evening. In August...I communicated with "Control"...and asked that SI UFO's "turn themselves on" all over the U.S. so that humans could see them; also to demonstrate phenomena. Since then they have done this. But of course...I cannot document that. It is, however, rock-ribbed proof...that I am indeed a link between the UFO's and the human race. Now what I propose to do is this. Am going to communicate again with Control...and ask it to "turn on" the UFO's in this entire Virginia area, so that all the people can see them; and to demonstrate phenomena here. Am talking about Eastern Virginia; the Tidewater area; the Eastern Shore Peninsula on which I live, etc. This demonstration will be to prove conclusively to the scientists studying my work...that my brain has been modified by these creatures in the past; that I am in telepathic communication with them; and that my unique situation is quite real indeed. Also that I am the most powerful human in the world...since I have the incredible other-dimensional powers of the UFO's to draw upon. All right...when UFO's begin to appear here, will take out the newsclips and make up a Contact Letter to get out to you, later. Now it is on record...and this exciting experiment-demonstration begins! Ted Owens (PK Man)(The UFO Prophet) Box 48, Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 Oct. 24, 1973...Wednesday Dr. Max Fogel, Mensa Dear Dr. Max... Yesterday I set up an experiment-demonstration...of my intent to produce UFO's here in the skies and all around, here in the Chesapeake Bay area (100 mile radius, with "bullseye" of target this Eastern Shore Peninsula.) But after some thought...and enlarge the scope of the demonstration! My contention is that the Big Foot, Moth Man, Loch Ness Monster...are SI creatures from another dimension...can pass between dimensions. So what I am going to do is...call them ALL here to the Chesapeake Bay area! In effect, this target area will be the scene for sightings of a Loch Ness Monster in the Bay...sightings of the Big Foot (Sasquatch)...sightings of the Moth Man -- as well as the flying saucers, cigar-craft, UFO lights, etc. It is my intent...to make this area the most UFO and monster-haunted area in the entire world! To do this am reaching out telepathically to bring them all here...TO STAY HERE. It will be "Halloween" all the time in this area...with spooks and goblins and UFO's galore! Gosh, it will be fascinating to see if I can pull off this "miracle"! Have no way of knowing the timing on this. Hours? Days? Weeks? Months? Since their "time" is different than ours...and they have time-windows, too, when they cannot get through...makes it tough. Am talking for appearance, now. Once here will "fix" them to stay in the area, just as the Loch Ness Monster has stayed there for ages. Beau, my boy, wants me to include the tiny 3-foot high critters...so will work at that also. Best.... Ted Owens (PK Man - The UFO Prophet) Box 48, Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 === **Page: 4 of 9** FROM THE DESK OF Mr. Ted Owens (PK MAN) Box 48 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 Oct. 17, 1973.......SCIENTISTS I have never sent out a Contact Letter like this one...but up to now there has never been a need. These UFO's you read about herein...are my Si's (spatial intelligences) that I have worked for, and with...for about ten years. They have helped me perform my many miracles...solid proof that they've been with me. Now, here in Cape Charles...my family and I have seen two UFO's in the past several months. I saw one as big as a house down at the waterfront, up over the water. The other one my wife saw, and called me...it was BETWEEN OUR HOUSE AND THE NEXT HOUSE...next to her bedroom! Be that as it may, yesterday George Teixeira, a friend of mine in Frisco, called me LD, and asked what this tremendous UFO activity meant. I told him this: my miracles, and connection with the Si's...has been covered up this past year. How much have you read about Owens, the "UFO Prophet"? Not much. Why? I've done some of the most powerful miracles this past year than ever! So, the Si's are displeased, to put it mildly. Remember, I am the ONLY human being who can communicate with these UFO's...and PROVE it...with miracles! They are showing themselves...to get me out before the public eye again...and dramatize their stark real-ness. They do not want my miracles (backed up by their incredible powers) covered up by govt. agencies so that the PEOPLE will not know. They want the people of this country to know that they are QUITE REAL...also what they can do. I predict...that if they do not get what they wish...some first class "disaster areas" may occur in this country. Something the Si's do not, repeat not, want to bring about.

Enclosed case attached hereto...is remarkable...albeit it seems to be just another pro football game. In the first place, the Steelers were the "underdogs" in this game. The experts, the pro gamblers, didn't think they could win. Not only that...their star (Steelers), Bradshaw, was injured and could not play. His backup, Hanratty, QB, was injured...and it was thought he could not play long. These facts were known well before the day of the game. IN SPITE OF THIS I TOLD DR. FOGEL THE DAY BEFORE THE GAME THAT I WOULD USE MY POWERS TO TRY TO HELP THE STEELERS WIN. What happened...was truly amazing. Hanratty started the game, even though injured...and shortly had to leave the game for the Steelers. So they put in Gilliam for QB. GILLIAM HAD NEVER THROWN A TOUCHDOWN PASS IN THE PROS. And bear in mind...the Steelers were playing the powerful Washington Redskins! Well, if you were watching the game...you saw two of Gilliam's passes float like a magic trick...or an illusion...into the hands of receivers...one of these passes for a touchdown into the hands of Pearson...WHO HAD NEVER BEFORE CAUGHT A TOUCHDOWN PASS IN THE PROS! But to top it off...with minutes left in the game...the ball jumped around like a flea in a skillet (when Washington was about to score the winning touchdown) and miraculously hopped into the hands of a Steeler...and this won the game for the Steelers. Steeler tackle Joe Greene, as you can from the newsclip, summed it up (unknowingly confirming the fact that I was using my tremendous powers in this game)....."We've got somebody up there taking care of us." Never a truer word was spoken. * on the Steeler 10 yard line! - Owens x PK / Man J === **Page: 7 of 9** Chronicle Sporting Green CTION WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1973 'Going to Play' Gilliam's Vow To Steeler QBs 11/7/73 Pittsburgh "I'm going to play," Joe Gilliam promised. "Terry Bradshaw and Terry Hanratty are going to have to work hard or I'll be breathing down their necks." Gilliam uttered his pledge weeks ago, then waited patiently as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers' taxi squad for an opportunity to prove his point. It came Monday night, as the Steelers, already minus starter quarterback Bradshaw, played the Washington Redskins. Afterward, Gilliam talked about his performance in the Steelers' 21-16 victory. "I had faith that sooner or later I'd get a chance," Gilliam said. "I tried to stay ready mentally. I was glad I could come in and do it when they needed me." Second-stringer Hanratty, already suffering from a painful rib injury, started in place of Bradshaw, sidelined with a shoulder separation. His rib injury aggravated, Hanratty left early in the third quarter, putting second-year man Gilliam into the game with a 14-6 lead. "My idea wasn't to be conservative, but to move the football... any way I saw fit," Gilliam said. Early in the fourth quarter, Gilliam connected with Barry Pearson for the young receiver's first NFL touchdown. "I had a chance for my first touchdown," Pearson said. "Nothing was going to stop me." It also was Gilliam's first pro touchdown pass. Gilliam also tossed a second-and-12 pass at the Steeler 22 into the arms of Washington's Brig Owens, for Owens' second interception of the game. "We've got somebody up See Page 64, Col. 1 Steelers 11/7/73 From Page 63 there taking care of us," quipped Steeler tackle Joe Greene, who recovered one Redskin fumble and fell on two others by Steelers. With five minutes left, Washington's Billy Kilmer tossed to Larry Brown, who was hit hard by Safety Mike Wagner. The ball jumped out of Brown's arms and into those of Pittsburgh Safety Glen Edwards. Edwards fumbled, then he was hit on the same play. But Greene came up with the ball on the Steeler seven and Pittsburgh ran out the clock for its 13th successive regular-season home victory. Hanratty was injured when he tried to recover a fumble. "Our plans are for Hanratty to heal," said Pittsburgh coach Chuck Noll. "And our other plans are for Bradshaw to heal. "In any case, there's one." The loss dropped the Redskins to 5-3, into a tie with Dallas for first place in the National Conference East. Pittsburgh, now 7-1, holds a 2½-game lead over Cleveland in the American Conference Central.

Huff said Marion Owen, the Chase City Police radio dispatcher, first sighted the object after noticing an unusual light reflection on the window of the police station. Owen radioed Huff, who drove to the west side of town and parked on a railroad bridge, almost under the object, Huff said. Huff said the soundless object, fairly large, with a color that resembled a very bright star, hovered motionless over the town for about five minutes; then moved rapidly to the north, reversed direction and returned to a position over his head. It stayed motionless for another five minutes before heading rapidly in a westerly direction, he added. UFOs are probably taken a little more matter-of-factly in this area since two well-publicized and still unexplained sightings occurred in 1967 in nearby South Hill and Lunenburg County. In the South Hill incident, a warehouseman said, in April 1967 that he rounded a curve and encountered an object 12 feet in diameter, standing on three legs, that resembled an aluminum storage tank. The object suddenly left the ground in a burst of brilliant light, he reported. The blacktop street caught fire, and when police arrived on the scene the tar was still hot and smoking. Two months later, a rural Lunenburg County storekeeper said she was startled one night by a thundering roar. She looked out her bedroom window and saw a bright light which she described as so bright "you could see every leaf on the tree." That object also allegedly left burn marks in the highway. Friday, Oct. 26, 1973.... Dr. Max Fogel, Mensa, Philadelphia Dear Dr. Max: I am tickled pink...to be able to send you this electrifying documentation! First, because the UFO's (SI's) that I contacted telepathically with my special UFO brain... answered almost immediately...very next day, in fact...by appearing in the area I specified in my letter to you earlier plus showed themselves to the police, just as I specified...matter of fact, this UFO made SURE the message got over...by leaving the policeman and then RETURNING! (See newsclip.) Second, am tickled...because this couldn't happen to a nicer scientist than Dr. Max Fogel. As you well know, just a handful of the scientific community has guts enough to let it be known that they are in contact with PK Man...and only you...have guts enough to give me signed confirmations whenever I bring about a "miracle". (Dr. Hynek should dam well have sent me a signed, notarized confirm when I stopped that volcano in Sicily, but nope, he didn't.) So to me...you are "King of the Scientists"! Now, if any scientists that you know want to scoff at me, or your connection with me...simply show them the letters I sent to you last Tuesday and Wednesday... then show them this newsclipping! The SI's LIKE this idea...this experiment-demonstration I have set up...and they have lost no time in acting on it! I had thought perhaps they'd take weeks to show up, but they did it the very next day! So, it has begun! So, to briefly recap...I wrote to you last Tuesday and again Wednesday... telling you that I would communicate with my UFO's (that I have worked with and for 10 years) and ask them to appear within a 100 mile radius of where I live, the Eastern Shore...using this Cape Charles as the "bullseye". Furthermore, I told you I would tell the police and other responsible persons. Furthermore, I told you I would also telepathically contact the "UFO Monsters" of various kinds... and bring them, also, to this area. Furthermore, in time to come, I told you, I'd make this 100 mile area the "UFO capitol of the world" in essence. All right. Already one UFO has answered my call, and in no uncertain terms, as this Oct. 26 newsclip from the Richmond Times-Dispatch newspaper points out! Your friend and brother M.... Ted Owens (PK Man -- The UFO Prophet) Box 48, Cape Charles, Virginia === **Page: 3 of 7** Tuesday, 2 PM afternoon, Oct. 23, 1973 Dr. Max Fogel, Int'l Research Scientist, Mensa, Phila. Dear Dr. Max...just called your home and left message with Joy to pass on to you when you get home this evening. In August...I communicated with "Control"...the top UFO intelligence that I have worked with and for, for some time...and asked that SI UFO's "turn themselves on" all over the U.S. so that humans could see them; also to demonstrate phenomena. Since then they have done this. But of course...I cannot document that. It is, however, rock-ribbed proof...that I am indeed a link between the UFO's and the human race. Now what I propose to do is this. Am going to communicate again with Control...and ask it to "turn on" the UFO's in this entire Virginia area, so that all the people can see them; and to demonstrate phenomena here. Am talking about Eastern Virginia; the Tidewater area; the Chesapeake Bay area; the Eastern Shore Peninsula on which I live, etc. This demonstration will be to prove conclusively to the scientists studying my work...that my brain has been modified by these creatures in the past; that I am in telepathic communication with them; and that my unique situation is quite real indeed. Also that I am the most powerful human in the world...since I have the incredible other-dimensional powers of the UFO's to draw upon. All right...when the UFO's begin to appear here, will take out the newsclips and make up a Contact Letter to get out to you, later. Now it is on record...and this exciting experiment-demonstration begins! Ted Owens (PK Man)(The UFO Prophet) Box 48, Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 Oct. 24, 1973...Wednesday Dr. Max Fogel, Mensa Dear Dr. Max... Yesterday I set up an experiment-demonstration...of my intent to produce UFO's in the skies and all around, here in the Chesapeake Bay area (100 mile radius, with "bullseye" of target this Eastern Shore Peninsula.) But after some thought...am going to improve upon, and enlarge, the scope of the demonstration! My contention is that the Big Foot, Moth Man, Loch Ness Monster...are SI creatures from another dimension...can pass between dimensions. So is...call them ALL here to the Chesapeake Bay area! In effect, this target area will be the scene for sightings of a Loch Ness Monster in the Bay...sightings of the Big Foot (Sasquatch)...sightings of the Moth Man -- as well as the flying saucers, cigar-craft, UFO lights, etc. It is my intent...to make this area the most UFO and monster-haunted area in the entire world! To do this am reaching out telepathically to bring them all here...TO STAY HERE. It will be "Halloween"...with spooks and goblins and UFO's galore! Gosh, it will be fascinating to see if I can pull off this "miracle"! Have no way of knowing the timing on this. Hours? Days? Weeks? Months? Since their "time" is different than ours...and they have time-windows, too, when they cannot get through...makes it tough. Am talking for appearance, now. Once here will "fix" them to stay in the area, just as the Loch Ness Monster has stayed there for ages. Beau, my boy, wants me to include the tiny 3-foot high critters...humanoid type...so will work at that also. Best.....

November 15, 1973 Another 'Stranger' Haunts Pascagoula PASCAGOULA, Miss. (Nov. 7. - (UPI) - Another Pascagoula fisherman has reported seeing a strange object while fishing at night on the Pascagoula River - but this time the thing was not flying, it was submerged in the murky waters. And the U.S. Coast Guard has confirmed the sighting. Raymond Ryan, Jr., said he spotted an underwater light following his boat Tuesday night and that repeated efforts to beat the thing away with an oar only made the light get dimmer. At first, he said, he decided not to tell anyone about the sighting. Much publicity has surrounded the reported sighting several weeks ago of a unidentified flying object in the same vicinity by two other Pascagoula fishermen who claim they were taken aboard the craft. But Ryan said he finally summoned his twin brother, Rayme Ryan, and the two of them went back to the brackish waters and poked at the light with oars again. The Coast Guard station in New Orleans reported Wednesday that the Ryan brothers went to Coast Guard officials in Pascagoula. "At 9:40 p.m. the Coast Guard at Pascagoula dispatched a 16-foot boat to investigate the object," a spokesman said. "The object was located in four to six feet of water, moving at 4 to 6 knots," the Coast Guard report said. The officers named the object "an unidentified submerged illuminating object," and described it as "an amber beam, 4 to 6 inches in diameter, attached to a bright metal object." Coast Guardsmen said they tried to retrieve the USIO, but "it would appear to go out and move away and then reappear." The report said the USIO traveled on several different courses during the hour they had it under surveillance. The spokesman said the Ryan brothers were "sober and concerned" when they reported the light. The Coast Guard in New Orleans said it would forward the USIO report to headquarters in Washington. SCIENTISTS.... This communication...is MOST important! On Oct. 24, 1973, I wrote to Dr. Max Fogel (and other scientists) that I would, intended to, produce the UFO "monsters" or "creatures" so that they would be observed, and specified an area covering 100 miles round about Cape Charles, Virginia, which would be the "bullseye" of the target area for these creatures to appear. Now observe this newsclipping, sent me by a friend today. It is dated November 7, 1973...weeks after my communication to Dr. Fogel. Such a "Loch Ness Monster" or "thing" was seen underwater in Pascagoula, Mississippi! Not in this area, true...but I feel that it is highly significant that "it" has appeared at all...following my communication to Dr. Fogel, followed by my telepathing to the UFO's and their creatures. To my knowledge this is the FIRST sighting of such an "unidentified submerged illuminating object", or USIO...and as I say, it is most significant that it appeared AFTER my written communication to Dr. Fogel and other scientists that it was my INTENT to produce same! Regardless of the fact that it was out of the 100 mile area. It is a beginning! Owens 4 === **Page: 6 of 7** Monday, November 19, 1973 TOO ALL CONTACTS AND SCIENTISTS... I think...that a word is in order here, with regard to the signed statements of fact by Dr. Max Fogel. You will note that, contained in this entire file, there are two such signed statements of fact by Dr. Max Fogel, Director of Science Research for Mensa. Now, Dr. Fogel is a scientist, and a darned good one. Or he would not be what he is, and where he is. His reputation is as precious to him as any other scientist's reputation is to them. Through the years...I have caused miracles to happen...having first notified certain scientists well in advance, specifically...that I was going to cause the miracles, and exactly how. But...these scientists were fearful of having their name and reputation connected with a "UFO person" such as myself, thus they would not give me the signed statement of fact that I needed so badly to build "my house of facts" so necessary to my own semi-scientific method of approaching my work. The scientists knew full well...that I had notified them in advance of the fact, in writing...still, they would not admit it. Dr. Fogel is a "different breed of cat" (since am not a scientist, it is not necessary for me to use dignified jargon...but I do get to the point.) Dr. Fogel is a hard-nosed scientist...interested in one thing and one thing only...TRUTH...truth that will lead to answers...answers that the human race, mankind, does not have at present. And Dr. Fogel will not move or budge...unless he has facts, hard facts...at his fingertips...to proceed with. If I may put it this way...the scientific community must step across the stream of Truth...putting each foot solidly on rocks of fact...to XXX where the answers are. Even if the facts...are painful and perhaps even distasteful to the scientist. The end result...Truth...is the only target worth hitting, and facts are the arrows to be shot at that target. Now get this: Dr. Max Fogel is NOT lending his name and reputation to UFO's, UFO material, or UFO people such as myself. He IS lending his name and reputation to the facts...and truth...as it occurs...and wherever that truth may lie. He is following my work, patiently...trying to understand if the work is valid...and if so, what could lie underneath it...what could be the motivating cause-and-effect mechanism, causing my "miracles", if indeed they are miracles. He is approaching me and my work...objectively...and he insists on only one thing from me...facts...facts that prove out. If what I do will qualify, then he will give me a simple statement of fact to that point...when I request it...but only if it is a rock-ribbed, true statement of fact. Any statement of fact that he has given me...I have requested of him. He will not give me any unsolicited statements of fact. (But in doing so...I feel that he is, unlike other scientists, being true to himself...and to science.) As I remember...science is based upon experimentation and observation. That is what Dr. Fogel and I are engaged in...and the only results that either of us acknowledge or recognize...are pure, hard facts.

I saw one as big as a house down at the waterfront, up over the water. The other one my wife saw, and called me...it was BETWEEN OUR HOUSE AND THE NEXT HOUSE...next to her bedroom! Be that as it may, yesterday George Teixeira, a friend of mine in Frisco, called me LD, and asked what this tremendous UFO activity meant. I told him this: my miracles, and connection with the SI's...has been covered up this past year. How much have you read about Owens, the "UFO Prophet"? Not much. Why? I've done some of the most powerful miracles this past year than ever! So, the SI's are displeased, to put it mildly. Remember, I am the ONLY human being who can communicate with these UFO's...and PROVE it...with miracles! They are showing themselves...to get me out before the public eye again...and dramatize their stark real-ness. They do not want my miracles (backed up by their incredible powers) covered up by govt. agencies so that the PEOPLE will not know. They want the people of this country to know that they are QUITE REAL...also what they can do. I predict...that if they do not get what they wish...some first class "disaster areas" may occur in this country. Something the SI's do not, repeat not, want to bring about. Owens (PK Man) === **Page: 2 of 9** FROM THE DESK OF Mr. Ted Owens (PK MAN) Box 48 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 Oct. 19, 1973 Scientists...today I checked my notes...and discovered that I had communicated with "Control"...the highest intelligence of my UFO friends...in August...and requested that the UFO's (SI's) show themselves and their crafts...in time to come. Motivation? I had been stung by several articles, and personal letters... stating that the UFO thing was a dead issue...and no one was interested in it any more. This, of course, is not in any way...proper documentation. But I can assure you...with all earnestness...that I did the above. And since that time... all hell has broken loose...with UFO's appearing everywhere. To me, obviously, Control is very real...and can produce. Sincerely, Ted Owens === **Page: 3 of 9** Monday, November 19, 1973 CONTACTS..... Enclosed case attached hereto...is remarkable...albeit it seems to be just another pro football game. In the first place, the Steelers were the "underdogs" in this game. The experts, the pro gamblers, didn't think they could sin. Not only that...their star (Steelers), Bradshaw, was injured and could not play. His backup, Hanratty, QB, was injured...and it was thought he could not play long. These facts were known well before the day of the game. IN SPITE OF THIS I TOLD DR. FOGEL THE DAY BEFORE THE GAME THAT I WOULD USE MY POWERS TO TRY TO HELP THE STEELERS WIN. What happened...was truly amazing. Hanratty started the game, even though injured...and shortly had to leave the game for the Steelers. So they put in Gilliam for QB. GILLIAM HAD NEVER THROWN A TOUCHDOWN PASS IN THE PROS. And bear in mind...the Steelers were playing the powerful Washington Redskins! Well, if you were watching the game...you saw two of Gilliam's passes float like a magic trick...or an illusion...into the hands of receivers...one of these passes for a touchdown into the hands of Pearson...WHO HAD NEVER BEFORE CAUGHT A TOUCHDOWN PASS IN THE PROS! But to top it off...with minutes left in the game...the ball jumped around like a flea in a skillet (when Washington was about to score the winning touchdown)...and miraculously hopped into the hands of a Steeler...and this won the game for the Steelers. Steeler tackle Joe Greene, as you can from the newsclip, summed it up (unknowingly confirming the fact that I was using my tremendous powers in this game).... === **Page: 4 of 9** Chronicle Sporting Green CTION WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1973 'Going to Play' Gilliam's Vow To Steeler QBs Pittsburgh 11/7/73 "I'm going to play," Joe Gilliam promised. "Terry Bradshaw and Terry Hanratty are going to have to work hard or I'll be breathing thing down their necks." Gilliam uttered his pledge weeks ago, then waited patiently as a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers' taxi squad for an opportunity to prove his point. It came Monday night, as the Steelers, already minus starter quarterback Bradshaw, played the Washington Redskins. Afterward, Gilliam talked about his performance in the Steelers' 21-16 victory. "I had faith that sooner or later I'd get a chance," Gilliam said. "I tried to stay ready mentally. I was glad I could come in and do it when they needed me." Second-stringer Hanratty, already suffering from a painful rib injury, started in place of Bradshaw, sidelined with a shoulder separation. Hanratty left early in the third quarter, putting second-year man Gilliam into the game with a 14-6 lead. "My idea wasn't to be conservative, but to move the football... any way I saw fit," Gilliam said. Early in the fourth quarter, Gilliam connected with receiver's first NFL touchdown. "I had a chance for my first touchdown," Pearson said. "Nothing was going to stop me." It also was Gilliam's first pro touchdown pass. Gilliam also tossed a second-and-12 pass at the Steeler 22 into the arms of Washington's Brig Owens, for Owens' second interception of the game. "We've got somebody up See Page 61, Col 7 SHEET "A" 11/7/73 Steelers From Page 63 there taking care of us," quipped Steeler tackle Joe Greene, who recovered one Redskin fumble and fell on two others by Steelers. With five minutes left, Washington's Billy Kilmer tossed to Larry Brown, who was hit hard by Safety Mike Wagner. The ball jumped out of Brown's arms and into those of Pittsburgh Safety Glen Edwards. Edwards fumbled, then he was hit on the same play. But Greene came up with the ball at the Steeler seven and Pittsburgh ran out the clock for its 13th successive regular-season home victory. Hanratty was injured hen he tried to recover a umble. "Our plans are for Hanratty to heal," said Pittsburgh coach Chuck Noll. "And our other plans re for Bradshaw to heal. "In any case, there's oe." The loss dropped the Redskins, 5-3, into a tie with Dallas for first place in the National Conference East. Pittsburgh, now 7-1, holds a 2½-game lead over Cleveland in the American Conference Central.

First, remember that when she had this startling experience, she had my SI disc in her purse. Now, I have received (and sent on to Otto Binder) many many letters from my Disc People who have had UFO's approach them, or had experience with UFO entities in their homes.

It is my educated guess that the SI's programmed her mind...and it was an important part of their infinitely intelligent plan for her to come back into contact with me. Finally...it is EXTREMELY interesting that she uses the term "compelled"! That is, she was COMPELLED to write to me. As Otto Binder pointed out in one of his articles on my work...I had actually worked out an arrangement with the editor of Saga Magazine...telling him I would ask the UFO's to COMPEL people to get copies of Saga containing articles about me! Since that time I have received umpteen letters from people... many many...telling me how they were COMPELLED to write to me, or get Saga magazine!

About two years ago I sent for one of your Si discs and though I don't wear it on my person I carry it in my purse all the time. I heard that you started a little church. Is is still operating? Please accept this small donation--wish it could be more. I would like to tell you of a strange experience I had about two months ago. I was driving alone on a lonely mountain road about 60 miles south of Tucson, early in the afternoon. I turned around to start for home. I just got turned around when off to my right about a mile away across a steep canyon and about half way up a mountain (there were no other roads out there) I saw a brilliant white light. Naturally I stopped my car to take a look at it. Glancing at my watch I saw that it was 1:30 p.m. As I looked at the light, a smaller light detached itself and floated toward me. I wasn't afraid, but as it came closer I had an overpowering desire to go to sleep. I tried to fight it, but finally put my head down on the steering wheel--for a moment, I thought. The next thing I knew, someone was pounding on the car window (I had all the doors locked and windows up) and hollering "Lady, lady are you okay?" It was a young man driving a big butane gas truck who had come up behind me and was checking to see if I were alright. I automatically looked at my watch and it was 3:00 p.m. I had a very bad headache and my pulse was racing. There was no sign of any light. More than an hour and one half had gone by without my having recollection of anything. The young man was kind enough to follow me till I came to the main highway. Incidentally, when I turned around to go home I was neither tired nor sleepy and felt fine. Can you give me any explanation of this occurrence? I did read in the paper the following day that UFO'S had been spotted in the Sierra Vista and Ajo area which isn't too far from there. It has been ever since then that you have come to my mind so often and I seem to be compelled to write you. I do hope that you can find the time to answer me personally. I would certainly appreciate it. I hope this finds you in good health and your little church flourishing. Most sincerely, Eloise E.

Los expedicionarios locales estuvieron también en el sector del municipio de Toa Alta donde los vecinos revelaron que un extraño aparato volador dejó caer polvo caliente parecido a ceniza. Los residentes del barrio Quebrada Cruz reafirmaron que en noches recientes divisaron un objeto extraño en forma ovalada y de gran tamaño, que, sin hacer mucho ruido, volaba a baja altura. DESCRIBIERON al objeto como de color plateado y muy luminoso. Además, los vecinos sostuvieron que "la nave" viajaba "algo" que podría ser el piloto y que tenía apariencia humana. Pedro Nieves, un mecánico que avistó el OVNI, manifestó que notó que la nave trataba de aterrizar, pero que al no poder hacerlo, dio un viraje brusco y se internó en una nube. Algunos residentes en Toa Alta afirman que las apariciones de OVNIS se han registrado en horas de la noche y de la madrugada. Nadie ha podido comunicarse con "los tripulantes" de los platillos. Sobre las montañas del municipio de Maricao también se han divisado OVNIS. Allí los describen como objetos voladores luminosos que permanecen en el espacio haciendo movimientos rotativos y que a la misma vez lanzan llamas de fuego. VECINOS de Maricao, que fueron entrevistados por los investigadores "de fin de semana" indicaron que las apariciones de los OVNIS se han observado desde la propia plaza pública del municipio. Los estudiosos del fenómeno de los objetos voladores no identificados estuvieron visitando también las municipalidades de Mayagüez y Cabo Rojo. En Mayagüez, como se sabe, fueron tomadas las fotografías de un OVNI por el fotógrafo William Rosario. En Cabo Rojo, grupos de personas han revelado que han visto en el firmamento naves "extrañas". Una de las personas que ha estado estudiando minuciosamente todo lo relacionado con los OVNIS que se han observado en Puerto Rico, es el escritor y sacerdote católico Salvador Freixedo, cuyo libro mas reciente, "El Diabólico Inconsciente", enfoca el tema de los misteriosos platillos voladores. En una parte del libro, Freixedo, apunta que "el fenómeno OVNI se nos presenta como una ventana más que se le abre a la humanidad para que caiga en la cuenta de que alrededor de ella hay otros mundos, otras dimensiones, otras existencias". of the United States...including Puerto Rico, Alaska and Hawaii!

In one of the "expeditions" was an "El Nuevo Día" reporter, that could tell that the "flying saucer" fever is growing in the island. The place for more attractive investigations was "El Yunque", the highest point in the "Sierra de Luquillo", in the northeast part of the country. A group of ufologist told us that in that mountain they have seen "strange creatures". Those "creatures", according to what they say, possibly come to the earth in space ships that travel from the occult part of the moon. Others tell that the creatures are living inside our planet and that's why they are afraid of the light, as they could see when they turned on their flashlights. The guys that "see" the strange creatures are very sure of their convictions. Local ufologist also visited the town of Toa Alta (in the north; at about 30 miles from San Juan) where the inhabitants tell they have been seeing a strange flying machine. === **Page: 9 of 9** 2 The residents of the zone named Quebrada Cruz, in Toa Alta, tell that the last nights they have seen a strange oval object, that, without any noise, was flying at low height. They say the object drop a certain hot dust, like ashes. They described the object as silver colored and very bright. And, the residents, tell that in the ship they could see "somebody" with human appearance. Pedro Nieves, an automechanic that saw the ufo, told that he could see that the ship was trying to land, but that she could not, and after a sharp turn, climbed to a cloud. The ufos researchers also visited the municipalities of Mayaguez and Cabo Rojo. In Mayaguez a local photographer, William Rosario, shoot several photos of a ufo. In Cabo Rojo, groups of persons have told that they have seen "strange" ships in the sky. (From Antolin Rodriguez in Puerto Rico. owner) Translated by A.R.R.

Storms Stun West; East Springlike Virginian-Pilot Friday, Dec. 28, 1973 Balmy Spell Flood Threat By United Press International A new winter storm threatened the West Thursday while spring-like weather raised fears of flooding in the East. A storm which moved inland off the Pacific Wednesday night highballed eastward, dropping up to nine inches of snow at Ellens-burg, Wash. Snow slides blocked White Pass in the Cascade Moun-tains for several hours. The driver and four passengers were critically injured Thursday when a Boise Winnemucca Stages bus slammed into bould-ers in a rock cut on snow-cov-ered U.S. 95 near Jordan Valley, Ore. and plunged down an em-bankment. As many as 12 other passengers were injured. Two people died in northeast-ern Kentucky Wednesday when violent winds swept the area. A woman was killed by a falling tree limb and a man by a wall that collapsed on him at a con-struction site. Travel warnings were up in Idaho and Montana. And the Na-tional Weather Service said areas of eastern Colorado, hit hard by a snow storm Monday, were especially vulnerable to new weather woes. Heavy rains - up to 2 inches in 24 hours - washed the Oregon and north California coasts. Flood warnings were in effect along stretches of the Greenbrier River and the Potomac's south branch in West Virginia after two days of heavy rainfall. In the water-sogged South, the flood threat eased in Mississippi and Alabama. Record high temperatures for the date were set early in the morning at Wilmington, Del. with 65, and Baltimore, with 62. Readings at 7 a.m. were in the 60s from the mid-Atlantic Coast south into Florida and in the 70s in Florida's southern tip. Unseasonably high tempera-tures and rains forced streams and rivers from their banks in sections of Upstate New York and moderate flooding was fore-cast. An ice jam forced the clos-ing of two generating stations on the upper Hudson River. === **Page: 2 of 11** THE DESK OF Mr. Ted Owens (PKMAN) 12-28 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 January 24, 1974 Dear Salvatore: The phenomena of footsteps, gastly voices, objects moving...have all happened in our home...wherever we've lived...and they are the SI's; invisible, but there, nonetheless.

It got caught in a heat wave. Instead of the usual January milieu of overcoats, frigid wind, and muddy snow piled at the side of the street, Virginia had bare- foot college students, office workers going to work in shirt- sleeves, and brown-bag lunches in the park. Most of the state had readings as much as those recorded by the National Weather Service in Richmond where the weather bu- reau reported the warmest Janu- ary in 24 years and an average daily temperature of 45.3 degrees - six degrees above normal. But even as people celebrated the springlike weather, some- body always had to mention that it was, after all, just January and spring in January was ridi- culous. In the Roanoke Valley and in the Danville area, farmers weren't exactly ecstatic over the beautiful days. Fruit trees were beginning to blossom and city residents found last fall's tulip bulbs peeking up through soil that just had to turn cold again. In Williamsburg, the colonial gardens were beginning to think spring and Norfolk's azaleas were also beginning to believe the rumor. Record high temperatures brought relief to many, especial- ly those concerned over the fuel crisis and a potential shortage of fuel oil. "The weather has been a bless- ing," said a spokesman for a large fuel company in Roanoke. If the weather had not cooperat- ed, he said, his firm would have run out of its January allotment of fuel long before the end of the month. In Waynesboro, a spokesman for Whitaker Oil Co. said much the same thing. "It was the warm weather that kept con- sumption down," he said. "Tell the people we appreciate them being real conservative." A fuel dealer in Roanoke said his company was in good shape because of the warm weather, t but looking ahead, he warned f that a prolonged cold spell could wipe out his January fuel savings in 10 days. Although farmers were con- cerned about the next cold wave, the State Department of Agricul- ture and Commerce said the warm weather had not had time to adversely effect Virginia's peach and apple orchards. "The warm weather has not been of long enough duration to get the buds out of dormancy," a spokesman for the agency said. Although temperatures climbed into the 70s in most of the state for at least a brief time during the month, the weather bureau in Richmond said none of the days came close to breaking an all-time January record. That record, the weatherman said, was a sizzling 80 degrees recorded Jan. 17, 1943.

(AP) === **Page: 3 of 11** === **Page: 4 of 11** The Virginian-Pilot C Monday, February 4, 1974 Section B BY MIKE SMITH Virginian-Pilot Staff Writer Consider the plight of the Nebraskan, if you will. While the rest of the nation frolics through a winter full of balmy days, the Cornhuskers, sturdy beings that they are, are huddling their way through weeks of subzero temperatures. There are no barefoot youths gamboling about the University of Nebraska campus. No bare-midriffed females prancing over green expanses as they do here in Tidewater. Doubtless, neither the huddling Nebraskan nor the gamboling Virginian realizes it, but both are being influenced by that Great River in the sky. Ah, you say. The lightness of the last month has surely made the writer balmy in the head. But no, there really is a river in the sky. Unlike the loitering Mississippi, this sky river dashes across the Northern Hemisphere at speeds that sometimes exceed 200 miles per hour. It is this river, called a jet stream, when it reaches high velocity, that is creating these halcyon days of winter for most of the nation. Dr. J. Murray Mitchell of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the river has, for some unexplained reason, moved farther north this winter than last. Normally, the Great River of wind moves south in winter, allowing icy Arctic blasts to invade the United States. But by moving north, the river, at an altitude of about 25,000 feet, has trapped the cold fronts in Canada and sent them sliding over to the other side of the world where in Asia the river is farther south than usual. Like any earthly river, the sky river meanders, wanders here and there, rushes in where it finds a soft spot, and ricochets off hard spots. Such a soft spot has led to the cold winter of the Nebraskans. A large meander or loop has dropped down into Montana, Nebraska, and parts of Arizona and New Mexico bringing with it the only winterlike weather this winter. To the west, this meander enters the United States from the northwest dipping toward the southeast, causing winds to flow in that direction. The meander completes itself by heading back north over the eastern part of the country. As it heads northward it carries warm, moist air out of the Gulf of Mexico. Along with the river there is a trough, not the hog kind but one created by low pressure and geographic features, has remained relatively stationary between the Pacific Ocean and the Rocky Mountains for the last six weeks, Dr. Mitchell said. This through helps prevent any deep intrusions of cold from the north. Lest you think, in the warmth of our Tidewater winter, that this may be the beginning of something hot, Mitchell is quick to point out that the general trend for the last 30 years has been toward cooling of the earth's atmosphere. "The fact that you're getting a lot of warm weather or even that the whole nation is getting it isn't necessarily inconsistent with the cooling trend because world-average trends aren't always reflected in local trends," said Mitchell. As for why the earth is cooling off, Mitchell said it's anybody's guess. Such inability to explain the reasons behind the weather is not unusual to weather forecasters. For example, meteorologists know that the west-central portion of Africa has endured nearly five years of drought because the very dry air that normally overlies the Sahara Desert has moved south, displacing the more moist air of the west-central area. What made the dry Sahara air move south is a mystery, Mitchell said. It is compounded by the fact that air flow has remained in basically the same position for five years. Although it can't answer all the questions, the National Weather Service can supply us with some weather facts to ponder while we look, with some apprehension, at the tulip and daffodil bulbs that are peeking through the pine straw and the azaleas that are beginning to blush with overanxiousness. The average temperature for January was 48.6 degrees, which was 8.1 degrees above normal. Last month was the warmest January in 24 years. Tidewater had only 35 hours of below-freezing temperatures last month. Having absorbed such undoubtedly useful tidbits of information, ponder the 30-day weather forecast that predicts that the warm trend will continue through February with less than the average amount of precipitation. Mitchell said there's a good chance the meander pattern will break, thereby bringing in more winterlike weather, but he said it's impossible to predict when it will happen. Terry Ritter, head meteorologist in the Norfolk National Weather Service office, was a little more optimistic about warm weather staying. He said, "There isn't any flow pattern that indicates winter will rear its ugly head." Romp on Virginians. SCIENTISTS... THE ABOVE REFERS TO MY EAST COAST AREA Owens === **Page: 5 of 11** Jan. 18, 1974 Floods Hit West; Death Toll at 14 CANYONVILLE, Ore. (UPI) — Rescuers Thursday searched for the bodies of nine men buried in a mudslide caused by record rainfalls that sent rivers over their banks and caused millions of dollars damage in five Pacific Northwest states. Search teams, including sheriff's deputies and Explorer Scouts, found three bodies in a creek about a mile below the 125-foot high and 400-foot long slide. The victims were identified as Roy James and Mark Garoutte of Roseburg, Ore., and Robert Keller, Portland, Ore. The National Weather Service said another storm was moving down from the Gulf of Alaska and will bring more rain today after a 24-hour respite. The death toll from the West's worst flooding of the winter stood at 14. Besides the nine buried and believed dead at Canyonville, a brother and sister were swept away by high water at Myers Flat, Calif., and two men and a 14-year-old boy were missing and presumed drowned in separate incidents in southern Oregon and northern California. Initial damage estimates indicated that losses would run into the tens of millions of dollars in Oregon, California, Washington, Idaho, and Montana. In four California counties alone, damage was estimated at $15 million. Geologists probed the massive mudslide that buried the nine men, all working on a broken telephone cable, to determine whether the gooey mud had settled enough to permit heavy equipment to try to reach the bodies in the building, a telephone repeater station. Two other men who had been working on the cable, the main telephone coaxial link between Portland, Ore., and Sacramento, Calif., were able to escape. "The entire canyon was full of mud and it was still coming from the top of the mountain," said Ken Kelley, one of the survivors. "We tried to find someone in the vehicles but had to give up as the mud kept coming down." Many major highways and railroad lines were closed by washouts and slides. U.S. 101, the major coastal route north of San Francisco, was closed by slides in six places. "It's kind of a dismal picture this morning," said James Boyd, city manager of Dunsmuir, Cal., near scenic Mt. Shasta, where damage was set at $2.5 million. "We are trying to clean up and we hear there is another big one (storm) coming." Va.

"Someone upstairs has really helped us a lot this winter," said A.C. Miller, manager of the heat- ing oil department for Exxon's Newport News district office. "Sales are down considera- bly," said Norman Minter, Union 76 distributor in Danville. "In fact, I'd say about 25 per cent for this area. I think the decline can be attributed to mild weather and to the fact that people really have cut back their thermo- stats." Most distributors said their heating oil sales were down be- tween 15 and 25 per cent this winter. Ronald Powell of Frank Cline and Son, a Harrisonburg Citgo distributor, said "the picture is not bad now, and the only thing which could change it would be an awful long, cold spring." Powell said the biggest prob- lem is people calling for oil when their tanks are half full. Miller said company figures show about a 20 per cent de- crease in the number of cold days this winter when compared to last winter. But he cautioned that three weeks of subfreezing weather "could throw everyone off." "As it stands now we should be able to take care of all of our custom- ers because the demand for fuel oil has definitely been down lately," Miller said. George Lecuyer, president of the Peninsula Oil Dealers Asso- ciation, said most Peninsula area fuel oil dealers haven't been as busy lately as they were at the start of the winter because they haven't had the heavy schedule of deliveries to make. "February is usually a cold month, but I doubt that we would have much of a problem if we did get some cold weather," he said. Asked about a surplus of heat- ing oil because of the mild weather, Lecuyer said that only a short-term inventory surplus exists but would be exhausted with the start of cold, winter weather. === **Page: 7 of 11** REMEMBER THE WEATHER ADMINISTRATION I GAVE YOU LAST YEAR?

Pilot High in 60s 1/20/74 'Summer' Stays Mostly cloudy and continued warm weather is in prospect for Tidewater today. The high will be in the upper 60s to the lower 70s. The Norfolk high record for this date is 77 in 1943. Variable cloudiness will persist tonight and Friday. The low tonight will be in the middle 40s and the high Friday in the lower or middle 60s. The rain chances are 20 per cent through Friday. Winds today will be westerly at 5 to 15 miles per hour. Variable winds at 10 m.p.h. or less will prevail tonight and southerly at 10-20 m.p.h. Friday. The Saturday-through-Monday outlook is for a chance of showers and warm Saturday with highs in the 60s and lows in the upper 40s, and cooler Sunday and Monday with a chance of rain Monday. Highs Monday will be in the lower 50s and lows near 40. A warm high pressure area over the northern Gulf of Mexico and a cold high over southern Canada have a cold front wedged between them. Both highs are of about the same strength, but the front, which ran from Cape Cod, Mass., across the Great Lakes Wednesday night, may dip down to the Virginia Capes this evening and become stationary again. Then Friday it should push back north as a warm front. Va. Pilot Jan 17, 1974 60% Rain Chance Cloudy skies, warm temperatures, and rain are in store for Tidewater today. Today's high will be in the middle 60s, tonight's low near 50, and Monday's high in the 60s. The chances of rain are 60 per cent today through Monday. Winds today through Monday will be southwesterly at 10 to 15 miles per hour. The outlook for Tuesday through Thursday is for a chance of rain Tuesday and Wednesday and fair Thursday. Tuesday's high will be near 60 and the low in the upper 30s or lower 40s. Thursday will be colder with the high in the upper 40s and the low in the upper 30s. A high-pressure area covering the coast this morning will move east and be followed by a low-pressure disturbance moving from the southwest. The low will clear the area by Monday night. In Norfolk Saturday the low was 42, high 68, and mean 55, which was 14 above normal. Va. Pilot Jan 17, 1974 That's a mighty fine looking tower in the background. You know, way back there.

Pilot 1/21/74 The brief burst of springlike weather will desert Tidewater about as quickly as it arrived. Today will be mostly sunny and windy with the high in the middle 40s. Tonight's low will be near 30, and the high Sunday will be near 40. The chances of rain are 10 per cent today and zero tonight and Sunday. A small craft advisory is in effect for northwest winds at 20 to 30 miles per hour today. Winds will decrease to 10-20 m.p.h. tonight and to 10-15 m.p.h. Sunday. The outlook for Monday through Wednesday calls for fair weather with near normal temperatures. The daily highs will average in the lower 50s and nightly lows in the middle 30s. A cold front following a low-pressure center that moved offshore today will move east and bring drier, colder air into the area as it is pushed by a high-pressure center over the Northern Plains that is expected to reach the coast by Sunday night. In Norfolk Friday the high of 75 equalled the record set in 1891. The low was 51, and the mean was 63, which was 27 above normal. # More Springtime Va. Pilot 1/22/74 The weather in Tidewater tomorrow, Tuesday, will be fair and mild for the season. The afternoon high tem-perature will be in the lower 60s. Morning Winds will become north at 10-15 m.p.h. Wednesday afternoon. # A Balmy Bow-Out January will bow out under mostly sunny skies and unseasonably warm temperatures in Tidewater today.

The high temperature will be near 70. Under cloudless skies, the 75 degree peak was reached at 4 p.m. The mean for the day, 67 was 25 above normal. Jan. 27, 1952 also had a 75, while the date in 1940 saw a record low 11. Tonight will be cloudy with a 50 per cent chance of showers. The low temperature will be in the 50s. Tuesday will bring variable cloudiness and continued warm. The high will be in the 70s. Southerly winds of 10 to 15 miles per hour today will increase to 10-20 m.p.h. tonight, and to 15-25 m.p.h. Tuesday. The Wednesday-through-Friday outlook is for considerable cloudiness with showers but becoming fair near the end of period. Daily highs will be in the lower 60s and nightly lows from the middle 40s to about 40. A cold front may edge its way toward Tidewater today, but a strong southwesterly flow aloft may cause it to wash out. This flow is causing unseasonable warmth over all the Southeastern states. It stems from a stationary upper level trough over the Rocky Mountains area. # High in 60s ## Still Like Spring 1/30/74 After a chance of early-morning rain, Tidewater can expect partly cloudy and mild weather today. The afternoon high will be in the lower 60s. The Friday-through-Sunday outlook is for a chance of a few showers Sunday but otherwise partly cloudy, with lows in the middle 30s and highs in the middle 50s. # June in January 1/23/74 January will retain its springlike guise in Tidewater for several more days. Tuesday's high was 63. Today will be mostly sunny with an afternoon high in the middle 60s. Considerable cloudiness is expected tonight and Thursday. The Friday-through-Sunday outlook is mild with a chance of rain each day. Daily highs will average in the upper 50s and lower 60s and nightly lows in the lower 40s.

Day- === **Page: 9 of 11** B3a Virginian-Pilot, Friday, February 22, 1974 Warm Weather Melts Ski Resort Hopes By CONRAD PAYSOUR Landmark News Service Many North Carolinians may have shuddered a bit when they read recently that snow was falling in many areas of the North Carolina mountains and that colder weather was predicted for much of the state. But not the operators of ski resorts. The unseasonably warm weather that has prevailed over the state for most of the winter has hurt the ski business this year. Some motel operators and other businessmen in ski resort areas of the state have also reported that their business is off as a result of the ski business being curtailed by warm weather. "You can tell the difference," one Waynesville businessman reported earlier in the week. He added, "but it is snowing outside right now." In nearby Maggie Valley, Ross Prevost, general manager of the motel section of Maggie Valley Country Club and Motor Lodge and president of the Maggie Valley Merchants Association, said: "They're making snow right now. They can make up for some of the lost business, but not all of it." And that, of course, has been the problem for much of the winter so far. North Carolina ski resorts depend on two types of snow, natural and manmade. When it's warm there is not natural snow, and it's also impossible to make snow. Cataloochee Ski Resort President Rick Coker makes no bones about being hurt by the warm weather. "I have never seen a worse winter," he commented. He said December was about average but that there were only three days in January that were cold enough for skiing. Altogether this winter Cataloochee has been able to open its ski slopes for only 23 days. He said that in a normal winter, there would be about 45 or 50 days of skiing at this point in the skiing season. Coker said that the fewest number of skiing days the resort has ever had in one season has been 52 or 53 days. "We might be able to make some of it up if we can ski into March, but March is a fickle month," he said. "I don't feel you can make it up now." Col. Paul Jones, general manager of Wolf Laurel at Mars Hill, said that as far as skiing business goes there, "The warm weather has been the difference." === **Page: 10 of 11** Virginian-Pilot, Tuesday, Jan. 1, 1974 A3 Heavy Snow, Bitter Cold Sweep Through Midwest Fuel-Short Travelers Hard Hit By The Associated Press The old year ended with bitter cold and a severe winter storm that dumped heavy snows from Kansas to Ohio Monday and made holiday travel even harder for motorists already plagued by the gasoline shortage. Authorities in Minnesota warned motorists who ran out of gas to guard against exposure. The warmest reported temperature during the night in the state was 22 degrees below zero. The Highway Patrol said it rescued about 20 motorists who ran out of gasoline in the St. Paul-Minneapolis area where temperatures were 25 below. Things were even worse in Bemidji; the thermometer read 35 below. Freezing temperatures sent shivers as far south as the heart of Texas and people in much of the eastern half of the nation were warned of one kind of bad weather or another. People from Ohio through Western New York were warned of heavy snow. The warnings came on top of already heavy snow in Ohio. There was 9 inches in Cincinnati, 9 inches in Dayton, and 5 inches in Cleveland. About 10 inches of snow fell at Indianapolis and snow elsewhere in Indiana restricted traffic to one-lane on some stretches of interstate highways. A shortage of salt hampered snow removal. The problem stemmed from another storm two weeks ago that dumped up to 21 inches of snow in some areas and caused the depletion of much of the salt stockpiled for the winter. Elsewhere in the Midwest, Lambert-St. Louis International Airport in Missouri was shut down for more than 20 hours, finally reopening on Monday. While Monday was springlike in South- eastern Virginia, it was winterlike in Springfield, Ill., where this resident is shoveling a path through 2 feet of snow.

Up to 4 feet of snowfall accumulated in the mountains around Los Angeles and an estimated 1,000 people were marooned in their cars trying to get through snow-clogged passes. Snow covered Palm Springs, desert resort and winter home of many wealthy retired individuals, for the first time in a quarter century. Twenty-one inches of snow piled up at Victorville, Calif., and 18 inches were reported on the desert. Snow was reported at Furnace Creek in Death Valley Friday, for the first time since 1968 and only the third time since the National Park Service began keeping records in Death Valley 13 years ago. The temperature dropped to 33 degrees. Six inches of snow fell by daybreak in Las Vegas, and highway travel from St. George, Utah, into the gambling city was banned unless autos were equipped with chains or snow tires. All other roads into Las Vegas were reported hazardous. All highways in Utah, except for the Salt Lake City area, were snowbound, but all but U.S. 89 into Arizona were sanded and open for at least limited travel. St. George got a foot of snow. Flagstaff, in northern Arizona's mountains, got 4 inches of new snow and the storm, moving inland across the West, dumped 2 inches at Pocatello, Idaho, during the night. An icy storm gripped Oregon, and gusty east winds blew through Columbia Gorge. Timberline Lodge ski area on Mt. Hood was closed because of strong winds. Mt. Hebo, on the Oregon coast, reported a wind gust of 103 miles an hour. Heavy-snow warnings were posted for parts of Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. About 1,000 persons were reported stuck in cars on the north side of Tejon Pass through the Tehachapi Mountains north of Los Angeles Friday night. At one point 400 cars set out to cross the pass behind four highway department snowplows. Motels in California's high desert Antelope Valley were jammed by motorists and truckers stranded in what residents called the worst snowstorm in memory. Where it was too warm for snow, it rained. Mudslides from California hillsides bared of vegetation by last fall's fires swept down canyon roads, pushing cars to the edge of highways. Los Angeles County firemen rescued 60 persons from cars and homes in Topanga Canyon. Temperatures moderated over the Central Plains and middle Mississippi Valley, and drizzle and occasional fog occurred over the Ohio Valley and the South. The mercury dipped to 22 below at Alamosa, Colo., but temperatures were in the 80s in southern Florida.

There are too few people and groups fighting to improve ecology. They are no match against the powerful corporations which are polluting the at- mosphere. In 1973, the air and water of the earth will grow even more poisonous. People will sicken and die. Nature itself will grow angrier and will retaliate against mankind, as only nature can.

Pilot Six years later, she turned full time to opera. "B" By Don Hill The Virginian-Pilot Washington Bureau Her opera prospects were great, but something happened. On a trip through Bavaria and Austria in the 1930s — when Nazism was fomenting — she sensed the hair on her neck rising in horror. A British patron of the arts told her in a coffee house, "Do you know what's wrong with the world? The Jews." It hit her with a terrible foreboding. WASHINGTON. A VOICE from Richard Nixon's past shrilled out in Washington last week. It belonged to Helen Gahagan Douglas, a lady of icy blue eyes who was defeated for the U.S. Senate in 1950 by such classy Nixonian lines as: "Helen Gahagan Douglas is pink right down to her underwear." She was so sickened, she wasn't even able to sing German songs for years. She returned home to study voluminously and to join anti-Nazi causes. Mrs. Douglas has survived — "with honor" as they noted at the Womens National Democratic Club — but not unscathed. She carries a chilling fear that this republic won't survive. She entered Congress in 1944, two years before Richard Nixon. From 1946 until 1950, the terms they served together, she voted for and he against funds for rural electrification, money for children's lunch programs, extension of the minimum wage, rent controls, and loans for tenant farmers. A theme is coming to life in this country in recent months. I first encountered it in one of those mass addressographed mailings we're all being inundated with. But this one was different. No return address; a legend on the envelope promised "Mr. D. Hill" that on the inside would be disclosed the previously unpublicized name of someone directly responsible for the Watergate mess. The letter came from Common Cause, a citizens' political reform group. The Watergate culprit? "Mr. D. Hill." Get this: she voted against, he for, a bill that would have forced executive agencies to make confidential information available to congress. Helen Gahagan Douglas' speech last week to the largest crowd ever to address a Womens National Democratic Club luncheon in the club's 50-year history had a subtle weave of themes, but this was the foremost: I think is right. That's hard enough to figure out. I can't figure out all the smart things to do, too. We have to figure out what is right. And do it." If government "of the people, by the people, and for the people" is to live on, the people involved must speak out. In the 1950 Senate campaign, she issued a "blue book" detailing their votes on the issues. Nixon's campaign, run by Murray Chotiner (still a White House aide), issued a "pink sheet" charging her with "Communist-line foreign policy votes." In that time of setbacks in Korea and the Mc- explanations since will sound familiar to any list, which may have been a "very nan." Mrs. Douglas was introduced for her speech last week by Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, no kin except -- as the club president said -- "related ... by courage." He said, "I have the honor to present our 1st Amendment friend, Helen Douglas." "We know what they (the Nixonians) have done," said Mrs. Douglas, "but do we know what they were aiming at?" could understand a Helen Gahagan is who, bitter and cynical, gadded the country gloating over the fall 1er old tormenter had taken. "The appointment of Gerald Ford fascinates me," Mrs. Douglas said. Was it for past administrative experience? The secret attack upon Cambodia was an attack "upon us," she said. stead, you tend to listen respectfully wise and charming lady who tells you, no. I'm not glad. I wish he'd been a at president." "Nope." For leadership in foreign or domestic policy? The "double entry bookkeeping" by the Pentagon in Southeast Asia to conceal bombing was "designed to deceive us," she said. It's easy to see how bemused 1973's vents could make a woman who is able to ly without a blush, "I have to do what "Nope. Nope was accepted because he was believed to be honest. Curious. I keep thinking about Diogenes these days. Has honesty become so rare in our great country that this quality alone without other attributes qualifies one to hold the highest office in the land or the second ...?" The secrecy of the Nixon administration, she said, is "an attack upon us." Recent attacks on the press, TV and radio are attacks "on our right to know," she said. The time has come, she said, to impeach Mr. Nixon, as the Constitution provides, and to try him, and either to convict him or to acquit him, and to have done. And she quoted Thomas Jefferson's 1816 letter to Col. Charles Yancey: "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects never was and never will be." "The people — we have been very silent and it is time we move if we are going to save government of the people, by the people, and for the people." Impeach Nixon? So said Helen Gahagan Douglas, a lady who knew Richard Nixon when. "Is there any other course open to us?" demanded Helen Gahagan Douglas. Born in the first year of this century, Mrs. Douglas was destined to more fame than as a mere footnote to history. At 22, she became an overnight star in the Broadway play, "Dreams for Sale." === **Page: 5 of 10** The Virginian-Pilot ESTABLISHED NOVEMBER 21, 1865 Page A16 Tuesday, January 1, 1974 (Note: no gas! -Gwen) 'All Dressed Up and No Place to Go!'

I quote from the book "What The Seers Predict For 1971" by Brad Steiger and Warren Smith, Lancer Books 77711-100, $1: "What will it be like in these days ahead to be living in the U.S.? There will be millions of cars just standing on the roads and streets...good, new cars...but no gas to go in them, no money to buy gas anyway or buy parts. No one to repair them, either.' This quote was Ted Owens, PK Man speaking, in the chapter devoted to me and my work. You can see how devastatingly accurate my prediction was...at this point in time. That prediction was made in 1970. On p. 145, just the other side of the page, is this, by me: "President Nixon will not end in office. Something most unusual will occur, and he will either resign or be forced out of office." Is this accurate? I have told you that I am the greatest psychic in the history of the world. Perhaps you can now get an idea of it. Certainly no other psychics had this information in advance!! -Gwen & K.

Violent floods and earthquakes will change much of the earth's surface. Volcanoes will erupt in great numbers. Nature will begin to vent its anger at mankind.

So many people in my line of work have set forth certain dates on which California would crumble into the ocean. One, I believe, was April of 1972.

That got the nod over another streak of foul weather-tor-nadoes that raked Jonesboro, Harrison and Batesville as well as other places. Spring floods, which in-undated millions of acres of farm land and also some resi-dential areas, received 205 points in a poll of Associated Press member newspapers and broadcasters in Arkansas. It was a long drop to Nos. 3 and 4 in the survey. The gener-al problem of an energy crisis wound up third with 140 points and the Texas International Airliner crash near Mena was fourth with 137. Participants in the poll were asked to consider 24 nomi-nations for "story of the year" and to rate 10 of them in a 1-to-10 priority. A No. 1 rating was counted as 10 points, No. 2 as nine points, and so on. The top two stories directly involved the weather, but the next two also had weather con-nections. Early this year, when the energy crisis was being fore-cast, petroleum officials said the prospect for gasoline short-ages was due partly to the un-usually long duration of the winter and the resultant high demand for fuel oil. The Tl Convair crash, which killed 11 persons, came when the aircraft was descending to spot landmarks during a rain-storm over Black Fork Moun-tain, 14 miles northwest of Mena. Other stories in the top 10: No. 5: The case of state Sen. Guy H. "Mutt" Jones of Con-way, 119 points. No. 6: The death of former Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller, 116 points. No. 7: The controversy sparked by Dr. Grant Cooper when he told his classes at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock that he was a Communist and would teach history from that viewpoint, 102 points. No. 8: The General Assem-bly's dispute over the amount of state aid to be given to cities and counties, 86 points. No. 9: The legislature's accel-erated highway development program coupled with a one-cent per gallon increase in the gasoline tax, 75 points. No. 10: The Democratic party controversy in which Craig Campbell was chosen state ex-ecutive secretary, 71 points. Matters involving the envi-ronment and pollution frequently were in the news during the year, but none were ranked in the top 10. The controversy over Ar-kansas Power & Light Co. plans to build a coal-fired gen-erator ranked No. 11, the dis-pute over the Corps of Engi-neers plan to channelize the Cache River was No. 13, and the legislative fuss over Gov. Dale Bumpers' proposal for set-ting aside wilderness areas ranked No. 24. The case of Jones involved not only his sentencing, but also controversy stemming from his continued service in the Senate and also a suit seek-ing his disbarment. All of it emanated from his conviction last December on federal in-come tax charges. State Sen. Joe Lee Anderson of Helena also was convicted on federal tax charges. He resign-ed from the Senate. Not being a lawyer, no disbarment proceed-ing was involved in his case. The Anderson story was No. 17 in the survey. The case of Sam Weems, the prosecutor who was acquitted on federal charges of filing a false grant application but later was disbarred in another ac-tion, was No. 14. Illegal campaign donations by Harry Oswald and electric cooperatives was placed 12th. This category included charges-pending-that Ar-kansas milk producers also made illegal donations to poli-tics. Among the other categories considered in the survey: Obscenity cases, particularly as they involved "Deep Throat;" the crash of an Air Force C130 south of Fort Smith; the resignation of Dr. Lawrence A. Davis as chan-cellor of the UA-Pine Bluff; the computer foulup that delayed payment of state income tax refunds; UFOs; Jefferson County authorities investigate after police resignations; and the criminal libel charge against Joseph Weston, publish-er of a weekly newspaper.

The spokesmen for the SI's told us that we would have to understand that he and the SI's were presently forced to give negative demonstrations in order to bring financial coopera- tion from the U.S. Government. "Just as Moses did in his time, and in exactly Moses' own way," he commented grimly. "By plagues." Assuming that the U.S. Government will still not have co- operated with Ted and the SI's by the time this book is released, here is what Owens sees in store for 1972: **Weather Phenomena** During the winter of 1971-'72, there will be unprecedented weather phenomena.

World Weather Went Wild in '72 Extremes in Temperature, Wind, Rain By MAX WILDE, Washington Post News Service GENEVA-Most people tend to exaggerate the ordeal of that dreadful winter or the glory of that heavenly summer the more remote in time the remembered seasons become. But 1972 has some records of weather that will support the memory for years. It was freakish all over the world, according to a writer in the latest bulletin of the World Meteorologi- cal Organization in Geneva. In Europe, Ireland had the coldest June in 100 years. Britain had much never shivered in June so much since 1916. But Moscow had the hottest summer ever. For the Russians, however, that wasn't the prospect earlier in the year. Ice on Soviet Union rivers stayed a month longer than usual and reached a thickness of 25 inches on the Sea of Azov, the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. There was more rain in Spain in one year since 1859. La Mancha area vineyards were destroyed. Three-quarters of the Alps at one period lost their winter sport resorts lost in revenue. Floods in July in the Sudan killed thousands of for- est animals and 100 people. Wind and rain wrecked 50 ships in the astor- nishing velocity of 160 miles per hour in the Harz Mountains killed 54 people in Western Australia and smashed the Netherlands. credible. 28 inches of rain in one year set off disastrous landslides. Australia suffered the same ex- tremes. In March the Alice Springs region had seven times as much rain as in a normal year, while in Western Australia the most severe drought in re- corded history was in its fourth year. Perhaps the most violent quirk of weather was registered by the Rhine. On Oct. 29, the river at Basel was at its lowest volume in 20 years. Thirty-four days later, Nov. 22, it had been so high it had been four times the previous 60 years. Four times the normal No- vember rainfall over Switzerland did it. Germans and uprooted thousands of trees, spawned 10 million of trees, spawned 10 million cubic yards of mud and sand, and killed 464 people in June. More than 100 people died in Hong Kong when an in- Forty-eight hours into the average North Atlantic this year, was Hurricane Agnes. The worst single weather disaster in United States history, it brought devastating floods to Florida, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, killed 122 people, and cost $3.5 billion.

His new book, Planet in Trouble, gives the factual material and background for the assertions made in this article. Both books are published by Exposition Press, Jericho, N.Y. Mr. Eden has conducted weather-control experiments under federal regulations, based on the work of the late Dr. Wilhelm Reich.) *** Planetary meteorologists are still shaking their heads over the incredible weather chaos that struck the planet Earth in 1972. A compendium of weather anomalies compiled by the World Meteorological Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, scores 1972 as one of the most freakish weather years on record. Here are a few highlights: In 1972, 48 weather disasters hit the United States, with hurricane Agnes causing loss of life and $3.5 billion in destruction in Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, Maryland and Florida. Spain received its heaviest rains since 1859, while lack of sufficient snowfall in the nearby Alps ruined winter sports there. Canadian temperatures dropped to unseasonable lows that were accompanied by ten times the normal number of icebergs spawned in the Atlantic. The other side of the weather picture showed record heat in India, with hundreds dead. Killer windstorms on the east coast of Japan wrecked or sank 50 ships, bowled over more than 3,000 homes and left 464 persons dead. Australia got its share of weather miseries, with eastern portions of the country receiving seven times the normal rain-fall. Residents of western Australia suffered under the fourth straight year of severe drought, the severest drought ever recorded there. Depths of water in the Rhine River fluctuated crazily. In October, water depths at Basel were at their lowest levels in 25 years. However, in Novem-ber, the water level had risen to a level reached only four times in 60 years. Moscow residents sweltered in record summer heat and lack of rainfall, while Ireland struggled through its coldest June in 100 years! Extremes of highs and lows were noted on many U.S. thermometers - while high winds of gale force smashed many European cities. This is only a brief smattering of the weather chaos in 1972. When the records are all in, however, 1973 weather anomalies may very well top anything that occurred in 1972. There is no doubt in the mind of any serious weather student - "Something screwy is going on in the atmosphere!" National Enquirer July 22, 1973 Weather Records Show 1972 Was Most Unusual Year The year 1972 was one of the most freakish weather history, according to the World Meteorological Organization. In a stormy departure from the fairly consistent weather pattern that prevailed from 1968 to 1971, 1972 brought record drought and rainfall, and some of the highest and lowest temperatures ever registered, the organization's report showed. For example, torrential rain-fall in Czechoslovakia caused the Slana River to rise beyond flood stages recorded over the past five centuries. But for the first time in 96 years, Phoenix, Ariz., received no rain during the first quarter of the year. Madrid, Spain, registered more annual rainfall - over 27½ inches - than in well over a century. At Tosayamada, Japan, almost that much rain fell in a single 24-hour period during a typhoon. Australia recorded its hottest summer and coldest winter ever. And one of the most violent storms in European history blew over Brocken, East Germany, where winds were clocked at over 150 m.p.h. Ten times as many icebergs as usual were reported in the North Atlantic. And on the east coast of the U.S., hurricane Agnes was responsible for one of the worst natural disasters in the nation's history, causing 122 deaths and $3½ billion dam-age.

J. Staylor Chief of Police CJS/emh === **Page: 2 of 2** attling Corruption The Virginian-Pilot Sunday, Dec. 9, 1973 Staylor Career Traumatic By ETHEL STEADMAN. Virginian-Pilot Staff Writer NORFOLK - The nearly 38 years he's spent in law enforce- ment have been "traumatic" for Norfolk's silver-haired police chief, Claude James Staylor Jr., he said recently, and he's looking forward to retirement in March. "I wouldn't want to go through it again," said Staylor reflective- ly. "Too often I was alone on my feet" battling corruption. Staylor, who will be 62 March 6, will be forced into retirement by law., He is considered a sure candidate for the City Council in a race next year that will see 4 of the 7 seats filled. "I'm considering it rather strongly," Staylor said "mainly because of the fact that I've got- ten encouragement from many segments of the community." And, he added, "I think I can contribute based on my experi- ence in law enforcement and municipal government and based on my philosophy of integrity in, "They cannot rely solely on the thin blue line." government." That's the way Staylor talks, and he does so in modulated, measured tones, rarely stopping to grope for the right word, sel- dom raising his voice. But what he says is frequently dynamite. He usually heard, one way or ¿another, from City Hall after his publicized speeches during his 6 1/2 years as chief. In two of Staylor's memorable talks during his first few months as chief, he proposed that: · The U.S. Constitution be amended to force suspects in se- rious crimes to answer the ques- tions of civilian boards that he suggested be set up to interro- gate such people. Norfolk residents who are so . More men and equipment are. inclined should arm themselves . needed crime-fighting aids, he for personal protection. "The people are going to have to pro- believes, but the answer lies else- where, beyond what police are able to control. tect themselves," he said then. His job often has been frustrat- ing, too, Staylor said, because of the opposition he's encountered in his determination to stay aloof from politics so long as he wears the blue uniform and in his com- mitment to honesty. "I find resistence from a num- ber of quarters," Staylor said. "When I came into law en- forcement, 1 had no idea of the extent of dishonesty and corrup- tion," the chief added. "Most of my career has been spent com- batting corruption, which has made many enemies." Since he joined the Norfolk force May 14, 1936, Staylor said he has been "continually fighting the odds and failing to get sup- port" from higher city officials. Once known as the "boy won- der" of the police division, "Bubber" Staylor rose from rookie to deputy chief in 13 years, a feat unprecedented and not equalled since. But his meteoric rise stalled at Chief Staylor the deputy's level and Stayfor The third time, in 1956, Staylor went about his duties for 18 years before being, named chief April 13, 1967. Twice, when Staylor's name was mentioned for the top job, he withdrew from consideration said he would accept under cer- tain conditions. One of those was "whether or not. I would have sufficient support to carry out the job I think should be done." Both proposals caused an up- roar. . But, characteristically, Staylor hasn't backed down from either suggestion and has more ideas about how to swing the pendu- lum of cermissiveness in the op- posite direction. Recently, the lean, muscled po- liceman said in an interview: "1 wouldn't feel safe walking the streets of this city-or any other major city-in some areas with- out' some protection." Permissiveness, lack of disci- pline, and an alarming decline in fear of punishment, which in- creasingly is neither swift nor severe, are the enemies in the fight against crime, Staylor em- phasizes.

Means 4 Means === **Page: 2 of 7** Theory estimates lightning strikes Lightning may never strike twice in the same place, so goes the saying, but Staff Scientist Edward Pierce has developed a technique to estimate when and where it will strike first. Dr. Pierce says that the method permits one to determine the likelihood that lightning would strike a building or piece of land in a particular location. "One could also determine how this likelihood would vary from hour to hour and day to day throughout the year," says Pierce, a physicist. The technique for predicting lightning at a given place and given time involves the use of thunderstorm statistics. Routinely recorded at weather stations, these statistics are converted into lightning estimates. Information analyzed from the statistics, Pierce says, includes lightning activity during a 24-hour period in an area and the proportion of flashes reaching the earth. Based on experiments, he says it is possible to estimate flash incidence for any area of the world over any period of time. For example, there is a one in a million chance of a flash striking a picnic held on a quarter acre lot in North Dakota between 3 and 4 p.m. on July 4. Such information could be of value to a corporate executive who must decide where to install a computer, to a contractor determining construction schedules, or to insurance companies. Further refinements in the technique also allow conversion of accessible thunderstorm data into the inci- dence of lightning flashes for a building of any given height. A tall building, says Pierce, may actually trigger lightning PIERCE because electric fields tend to build up rapidly on such a structure. Static electricity would then discharge initially to the clouds rather than from the clouds to the building. What's the chance?

A computer on an upper floor of a building would usually be far more vulnerable to lightning damage than one on a lower floor, he notes, because of the greater concentration of current near the point of impact. Memory damage to a computer bank, where vital information is stored and monitored, could spell disaster for record keepers.

Owens (Ted) from the top of a tall building in downtown Philadelphia...Mr. Owens offered to make lightning strike in any area that I might point out, as a demonstration of a new weather principle he had discovered. So I took him up on it, and pointed to an area squarely in front of our window...the bridge leading to Camden. In a few moments after Mr. Owens concentrated on making lightning strike the aforementioned bridge...a lightning bolt did in fact strike that area, just to the right of the bridge. Since we were standing at the top of a tall building, our field of view was very wide and expansive. Therefore the lightning bolt striking the pinpointed area which I had designated, was interesting.

Friday, November 14, 1969 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN NASA Studies Lightning Peril WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 (UPI). The Environmental Science Services Administra- tion said Monday its research laboratories in Boulder, Colo. are studying lightning hazards to rockets. This morning, before the Apollo spaceship was ignited or had left the ground at Cape Kennedy...Ted Owens informed us that UFO intelligences were angry at NASA and the U.S. Government for not enabling him to stay in Miami, Florida...which was the special wish of the UFO intelligences...and also for not allowing the UFO intelligences to have a landing base for their craft at Cape Kennedy -- and because the UFO intelligences were angry, they would try to stop this Apollo moonshot from being successful; make it a failure. Owens stated that it was his personal wish, in his communication with these UFO intelligences...that if they were going to strike at the Apollo spaceship, that it would be while it was on the ground, or just lifting off the ground...so that the astronauts would be able to escape safely. He stated that he felt this was going to happen...something would go wrong on takeoff of the craft, and the men would escape. He also told us then that back in 1964, 1965, he had written to NASA and informed them that he could make lightning strike the lightning-proof pads at Cape Kennedy...and that, following his letters to NASA, lightning had actually struck those pads at Cape Kennedy. Then the Apollo spaceship was ignited, and began takeoff. And the radio said it was then struck by lightning...and the men inside the craft said many warning lights lit up inside the craft. The alleged lightning also caused various malfunctions of the craft, according to the radio. But the men did not try to escape, and NASA ordered them to go ahead to the moon. Owens said that the SI's had done their best to abort the flight while on or near the ground...by striking the craft with lightning...as they had done the pads several years before. And that this had been a severe warning to NASA but that NASA had ignored it. Owens stated that he was therefore positive that the UFO intelligences would further strike at the Apollo spaceship, now on its way to the moon, and cause the flight to be a failure. We'll wait and see. But Owens did talk about lightning attacking, before the actual liftoff; we attest to that. Then the spacecraft was struck by lightning. Frank X. Taylor - COURT REPORTER Pattie H. Waddell - SECRETARY Will Dyer - COURT REPORTER at Plaza One Building, 4th Floor, Norfolk, Virginia. The work is being done by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and is "part of an effort to develop a lightning-warning system and techniques for lightning sup- pression." An electrical discharge of some sort occurred 36.5 sec- onds after liftoff of the Apollo 12 moon rocket last November but did no lasting harm. Phil. R. 2/17/7 === **Page: 7 of 7** August 12, 1967 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Several weeks ago I took my friend, Kenneth Batch over to Philadelphia to visit Ted Owens. It was a rainy day, and we had heard of Ted Owens's ability to make lightning strike by his signalling UFO intelligences to do it...so we asked Ted Owens to give us a demonstration of his so-called power to communicate with UFO intelligences by having them make lightning strike in given areas we would designate. The three of us went out onto a balcony outside Ted Owens's apartment...and my friend and I asked Ted Owens to have lightning strike at or near the top of the City Hall. In the ensuing period of time there were three massive strokes of lightning which struck at intervals in that exact direction. And those were the only three bolts that struck in the entire sky...just where Ted Owens pointed his hand. To test this, we then asked Ted Owens to make lightning strike in an entirely different portion of the sky. He pointed his hand...and the lightning appeared in that different area, exactly where we had asked it to appear. No other bolts appeared anywhere in the sky at any time during our experiments, except exactly where Ted Owens pointed his hand. My friend and I were in complete agreement that the experiment was a complete success.

You requested that I make it snow instanter...and your colleague wanted heat. All right. The SI's have given their permission. This is not for "funzies"...I will notify the scientists who are observing my work, thus it will be a large-scale demonstration. There are four, huge, giant UFO's circling our earth (on your show, we didn't even scratch the surface of all that could be brought out)...and I am going to utilize them to reflect heat back onto earth, the bullseye being Dallas, Texas. This will cause freakish weather...and of course, heat. Normal summer heat, coming up, should be amplified tremendously...perhaps to break a record. You will have great storms (lightning attacks) etc. (Built into this...will be the intelligence not to cause death or injury to Texas people...but to show how I, and the UFO entities, can control the weather anyplace in the world. I gave a beautiful demonstration of this...by controlling Cleveland, Ohio...not too long ago...documented with the scientists...and am enclosing a copy of the file. So you may now notify your listeners that I am indeed complying with your request to put on a demonstration of my powers...and the SI powers.

Phillips War Looms in Asian Weather Changes WASHINGTON. President Nixon ought to think about adding a skilled climatologist to his foreign policy staff. The worsening Asian weather—it is getting drier and colder—may destroy his hopes for a "generation of peace" by reducing local food production and setting India, Japan, Russia, and China at each other's throats. My underlying premise is not mere cockamamie speculation. It is drawn from an extraordinarily interesting and useful Fortune magazine article (February 1974) titled "Ominous Changes in the World's Weather." Try these two facts on for size. Fact one: In the first half of this century, the world enjoyed better and warmer weather than at any time in the previous 1,000 years, and this favorable climate—by fattening agriculture production—stimulated world population to double itself. Fact two: Our planet's climate now appears to be moving toward a "Little Ice Age," threatening fisheries and crops and conceivably making it impossible for the world to feed its swollen population. University of Wisconsin Clima- tologist Reid Bryson, focus of the Fortune study, is a pessimist. If the cooling trend continues, he worries that it will "affect the whole human occupation of the earth—like a billion people starving." Many other experts—but not all—share his concern. Several problems are already apparent. First, cooling northern seas are affecting the fish catch of nations such as Canada and Iceland. Second, Japan's meteorological agency has warned the government to expect increasing long-term coldness and drought. Third, and most important, a long-term drought pattern is shaping up in central and southern Asia. For various reasons, the great monsoons, having shifted south, are now dumping their torrents into the Indian Ocean or tropical areas that already have too much rainfall. India's position is especially dangerous. Since the 1920s, rising rainfall and rising crops have helped double local population. Now recurrent drought threatens mass starvation. In Asia, starvation often means war. The Fortune article hardly touched on the massive political implications of changing Asian climate, but Professor Bryson provided some further elaboration for this column. India: Food and famine are central factors in India's foreign policy. Bryson admits the obvious: "It is entirely logical to say that a nation that has the power but is desperate and has nothing to lose, is a potential source of ferment that could set the whole world." Even so, he declines to speculate about whether famine may tempt India to invade Iran (where the climate is improving and oil riches could provide the foreign exchange to buy vast quantities of foodstuffs). Instead, Bryson notes that food shortages have made India more docile in the last year or two—a far cry from 1971, when adequate wheat supplies encouraged India to thumb her nose at the U.S. and invade Pakistan. However, if India's crisis deepens, and it probably will, docility is likely to turn to desperation. China: Bryson agrees that "this is the billion-dollar question. China is a monsoon land. It would be inconceivable that the that often seems to be the case. U.S.-Russian detente: Remember the wheat deal? Bryson believes that wheat shortages may oblige us to buy back from Russia at prices far above those we charged the Russians in 1972, a transaction bound to make an economic mockery of detente (thus further jeopardizing the Asian balance of power). Right now, although National Security Council staffers are aware of worsening Asian climate, expert advice and counsels is not at hand. The White House might do well to sign on such help before Mr. Nixon's "generation of peace" collapses in a new modern round of Asian drought warfare.

This might be considered unusual. He proposed to use what he calls "psi-force", i.e., mental force, to cause certain pro football teams to win over other pro football teams, week by week, game by game, play by play. These games would be only those listed in the TV Guide magazine for Owens' locale. Owens would utilize two TV sets simultaneously in order to work two different games. Later, when a third game came on, he would also work that game. He also proposed to try to affect the television power set-up, to knock out the picture on TV, affect the sound, affect the electrical conditions at the stadium where the game was being played, and the like. His goal was to win 75% of the games that he proposed to control with his mind. Throughout the pro football season Owens supplied me, in advance, with the information on what teams he proposed to help win on the coming weekends. After the games had been played, he cut out the newspaper reports, appended these to his advance notifications and submitted them to me, along with pages torn from his TV Guide to assure that he had worked only on the games shown in his location. At the end of the season, after the Super Bowl, Owens had scored 44 wins, 16 losses, and 2 ties giving him the following possible percentages, which vary according to the method used to count the tied games: 44 wins, 16 losses, ties not counted = 73% 44 wins, 16 losses, ties counted as wrong predictions = 71% 44 wins, 16 losses, ties counted as half wins, half ties = 72% Parenthetically, it may be noted that on Sunday, December 16, 1973, TV Guide departed from its usual procedure. The magazine that week listed four alternate games which might be aired. Owens attempted to control the three games actually shown by resorting to what he calls "absent OD mechs" (or "absent PK"). He predicted correctly === **Page: 2 of 2** 2. these three additional games. If included, his percentage of hits would be 74.6% using the top-mentioned-above system of calculations. However, these games departed from the usual format and thus should not be included. Although Owens did not score the 75% he was supposed to score, his scoring was high enough to warrant this document of near confirmation. Had he scored lower than 70%, I would not recognize his experiment at all. It is difficult to know how to interpret these findings. We cannot use typical parapsychological statistics, such as the Zener scale, since the predictions were not based upon chance observations. Rather, Owens did have information about the worth of each of the teams, information which undoubtedly influenced his predictions one way or another. However, it would also not be valid to compare Owens' predictions with those of, say, sports page predictors since Owens at times deliberately picked underdogs in order to attempt to demonstrate his abilities. So his work and intentions should not be called either guesswork or straight predictions, but something in between. At this point, I will simply acknowledge that Owens came very close to a stated goal of 75% despite the fact that he often knowingly picked underdogs. Sincerely, Max R. Fogel Max L.

Enclosed find several documents self-explanatory. Am a member of Mensa (high-IQ society...upper 2% in the world). Am one of America's greatest psychics. And have documented some rather miraculous projects with affidavits from one of America's prominent scientists (see attached). Actually, four of America's prominent scientists are observing my work...Dr. Max Fogel; Dr. Allen Hynek; Dr. Leo Sprinkle, Dr. Russell Targ (from your area...Stanford Research Institute). All of these top men solicited my collaboration with them. So much for background. Oh, yes...and Chief Staylor, of the Norfolk Police, is a friend of mine and is familiar with my background. Just mention this...from any police standpoint. Now, down to business. I am positive...certain...that I can obtain results for you...in apprehending the SLA members in Frisco. And possibly get back Patricia Hearst (or what might be left of her). I phoned in this plan today to the Norfolk FBI...but bureaucracy being what it is...will play it safe by writing you directly. Plan...recently I appeared on the Larry Angel Television Show in Baltimore (cassette tape enclosed) for one hour. They flew me up there. In the past few weeks have done four radio shows, from phone hook-up, from my home in Cape Charles...one the Ed Busch Show, WFAA, Dallas, Texas, for two hours (tape enclosed); another a Chicago station, Doug Dahlgren, WOIC; then a Phoenix radio show; and a Miami radio show. So...I have rock-solid credentials as a top psychic...I can hold an audience for an hour on a television show. I take a plane to San Francisco. You have arranged for me to appear on some of the prominent Frisco television shows...with XXX advance publicity. Okay. On the shows themselves I discuss UFO's, ESP, and the Hearst kidnapping. My credentials are powerful and impeccable re my work as a foremost psychic. This is first brought out. Then I go into the kidnapping...and announce that I am there...to go over maps and pick up impressions about the individuals of the SLA group. (I warned President Johnson of a plan re an ex-pilot planning to fly into the White House with a load of explosives...he sent over some Secret Service men...I gave them the details of the man's home, his habits, etc...and they caught him! This is documented. Then, I went on TV in Miami and warned Pres. Nixon of a Cuban plot to kidnap him...using scuba divers around his Key Biscayne home...and three weeks later the Secret Service actually caught the scuba divers near Nixon's home!

Text Any textual data included in the document === **Page: 1 of 2** March 13, 1974 TO MY SCIENTISTS This letter from Chief Staylor, and my note of explanation...might seem to be irrelevant to the miracles that I do...but I believe it to be quite relevant. First, when I came to Norfolk some years ago...I saw a photo of Chief Staylor in the paper...and I could "read" him clear back to Wild West days...as a Texas Ranger and top gunfighter. That is...I could see that he was all man and a yard wide...tough, uncompromising, honest...and if there is anything to reincarnation, then I had him figured. But I wanted to test my theory...so I wrote him a letter...explained that I could come to his office, he and his men could check me for hidden weapons...yet I would pull a .38 on him. He wrote back and said come ahead. So I went up to the Police Building to his office. You see, Norfolk is a huge place...hundreds of policemen...and Chief Staylor was in charge of the whole kit and caboodle. I went past his female secretary (a member of Mensa, like myself...and she looked at me "with a jaundiced eye" as P. G. Wodehouse used to say in his books) into his office and found him alone. I showed him that I had no weapons...then suddenly I had a .38. He was astounded, and asked if he could call in his two Lieutenants for me to show them, also. So I repeated for the Lieutenants...and my friendship was begun with Chief Staylor. At that point in time...he was famous in the South for his police results in the Norfolk area...and for not taking bribes or being able to be bought by the crooks, whom he fought tooth and toenail. But I had not yet developed as a top psychic...the Saga articles had not yet emerged, nor had my work been described in hard-cover books as yet. But it was strange...Chief Staylor and I could just look at each other, and shake hands with our eyes. I am positive...that he and I were friends and knew each other quite well...in the old Cowboy and Indian days, back there somewhere. Since a child I have had dim memories of having lived in those days and been a top gunfighter myself, way back then. Anyway...time for the Chief's retirement from the police force came up, and I was astounded to get an invitation from the police who are his friends, to attend his Retirement Banquet. Those that would be there would be judges, detectives, top police officers, and so forth. And one psychic, me. Well, when I went to the Banquet...the Chief himself showed me to a table and a seat beside a close friend of his. I reckon there would have been about 20 people at a table; perhaps 10 tables altogether. The MC, an attorney, then began to cut up and sing songs...before introducing Chief Staylor...and it made me very angry at the MC. I pointed my finger at him, to get him out of the way and finished, in some manner...and his microphone went out. He then excused himself and walked over to a second microphone, an excellent one...I pointed my finger, and it began to sputter and go off and on. The crowd began to laugh and call out to him, "Hey, Dekker, maybe that mike is trying to tell you something." Well, I sure was, with my mind. Finally, the Chief gave his farewell speech, after which he pointed out into the crowd...said hello to Lieutenant Governor Howell, of Virginia; and hello to other of his old friends who had risen through the ranks with him. Then he said, "Now, ladies and gentlemen, I want you to meet a good friend of mine, Ted Owens. Stand up, Ted." I was flabbergasted, but stood up. The Chief said, "Ted is from Cape Charles, and his field is extrasensory perception...and he's one of the best in America, maybe the world...and it's an honor to have him here tonight." There've been just a half-dozen high points in my life, but this was one of them, and one of the best.

As you know, I am known. The first happening was the giant UFO that appeared over the head of a policeman in Chase City, and stayed there for 15 minutes. Staying there that long was, of course, unusual for a UFO...but it wanted to make sure that the message was clear...that I had communicated with it and requested the happening, and it was delivering. The second happening was the man who took some shots of the sky, evidently on "impulse", with his camera...and when the photos were developed he had a beautiful photo of a UFO. Of course I know that he was "compelled" to take to the sky, in that particular place, at that particular time...so that the UFO's I had communicated with could deliver yet another message. If you do not agree...then consider the odds against anyone pointing a camera up at the clouds and walking away with a perfectly beautiful photo of a UFO in flight! (2) Now to predictions on my part. Last week my UFO's communicated with me and informed me that they had picked up some interesting information...which was that the higher-ups who had maneuvered Nixon into office had secretly decided last week to have Nixon murdered...trying to make it look like an accident; plane crash, heart attack, etc., instead of an out-and-out shooting assassination. They have also decided not to allow Vice President Ford to take over as President and continue. But they have not as yet decided on his disposition. These mysterious higher-ups have a new man ready that they intend to insert into the Presidency. The SI's told me that President Nixon would not live past 1976. The higher-ups will see to it... whether Nixon resigns or is impeached or not. Owens YPK Man na a vast south of San Francisco.

How does he know? "Impressions," said Owens. Eleven days ago, Owens sent a long letter to Patricia Hearst's parents in San Francis- co. He wrote, "Your daughter is being held on a boat south of San Francisco. However, the BGs (Bad Guys) have two other loca- tions where they hide her.

The Hearsts' 20-year-old daughter was kidnapped more than three weeks ago by members of the Symbionese Liberation Army. Letter and telegram In that letter of Feb. 13 and a telegram, which he sent two days earlier, Owens urged the Hearsts to turn to people who are good at psychometry. That is the ability to touch things (toys, clothing, jewelry etc.) and divine facts about the people who own these things. (In Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Mrs. Joanne Tomchick was reunited with her two daughters earlier this week with the help of a psychic who used psychome- try). Said Owens, "I'd like to see a team of top psychics including Peter Hurkos, Jeane Dixon, myself and others assemble in San Francisco to get impressions." "And if these impressions and predictions "I'm the greatest," he insists, puffing on a cigar. "I have been picking up things from the Symbionese minds. When I read minds, dis- tance and time are no barriers at all." Moving around Filling in details of Miss Hearst's captivi- ty, Owens told me "The second location where she is being held is east of the boat I mentioned. Inland. It's a ranch or farm. There are chickens, livestock. From there, she is moved to San Francisco. To China- town. To a basement-type place in a run- down area. They have been using a laundry truck to transport her. "It's a triangular pattern of movement from boat to farm and then up to the San Francisco location. The main man holding her is a foreigner from the Mideast, I be- lieve. In the past he has been connected with airports and murders. Plane hijack- ings." Owens' vibrations tell him that the Hearst girl is in great danger. "The main man would like to murder her so that the next targets of his kidnapping would be gen- uinely terrified. But another man in the army has a plan to smuggle the girl out of the U.S. by boat, down the coast to Central America. Maybe Costa Rica.

Letter and telegram In that letter of Feb. 13 and a telegram, which he sent two days earlier, Owens urged the Hearsts to turn to people who are good at psychometry. That is the ability to touch things (toys, clothing, jewelry etc.) and divine facts about the people who own these things. (In Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Mrs. Joanne Tomchick was reunited with her two daughters earlier this week with the help of a psychic who used psychometry). Said Owens, "I'd like to see a team of top psychics including Peter Hurkos, Jeane Dixon, myself and others assemble in San Francisco to get impressions. "And if these impressions and predictions were coordinated by the police and FBI, it would give the Hearsts information they would not get otherwise." The Hearst family has not replied to Owens. Owens claims to be half man, half space intelligence. According to Owens, his abilities in psychokinesis (mind over matter) and extrasensory perception are the blessings of creatures from the cosmos. He has a pretty good record in predicting storms, earthquakes, pro football upsets, collisions of ships at sea and, once in a while, an assassination. filling in details of Miss Hearst's captivity, Owens told me "The second location where she is being held is east of the boat I mentioned. Inland. It's a ranch or farm. There are chickens, livestock. From there, she is moved to San Francisco. To Chinatown. To a basement-type place in a rundown area. They have been using a laundry truck to transport her. "It's a triangular pattern of movement from boat to farm and then up to the San Francisco location. The main man holding her is a foreigner from the Mideast, I believe. In the past he has been connected with airports and murders. Plane hijackings." Owens' vibrations tell him that the Hearst girl is in great danger. "The main man would like to murder her so that the next targets of his kidnapping would be genuinely terrified. But another man in the army has a plan to smuggle the girl out of the U.S. by boat, down the coast to Central America. Maybe Costa Rica. "My impression of the Symbionese leader is that he is short, about 5-5, has a dusky complexion, has a moustache, has a high IQ, is fanatical, trained in guerrilla warfare, arms handling and assassination." Owens said there is no connection between the Hearst kidnapping and the abduction of an editor in Atlanta last week. Although he is 3,000 miles away from the kidnappers of Miss Hearst, Owens says he is receiving the thoughts of the Symbionese loud and clear. "They plan to hijack a half dozen airliners at once. They will use no weapons. Their plan is to kidnap the president of six major airlines and their families and order these men to turn over planes to the Symbionese Army." Bad vibrations Owens did not say what the terrorists plan to do with the six airliners. Is Patricia Hearst alive? Owens hesitated and said, "Even for a psychic like me, it is hard to tell now. She has been in great, great danger. I feel like, well, I feel like the cutthroats have the edge in that army. She is scared witless. She is in poor shape." This is one time when Owens, who has been proclaimed a super psychic by Saga Magazines and other publications, hopes he is all wrong. If the Hearsts want him, Owens is near his phone over there on Eastern Shore, puffing away on a cigar and practicing psychokinesis and other things. ation and the Virginia AFL-CIO voiced their support. The two organizations, reflecting management, labor, agree so solidly that Julian S. Carper, president of the Virginia AFL-CIO, told the committee, "This is the second time this session the Virginia Manufacturers Association and the AFL-CIO have been in wholehearted agreement." Committee member Picha M. Bagley, D-Hampton, could not resist smiling as he said, "In that case, God save the Commonwealth." The committee also approved a bill sponsored by Sen. Leroy S. Bendheim, D-Alexandria, that would ease the way for localities who find themselves taking over private transportation companies to get federal funds. Bendheim said the bill simply spells out rights of employees of the private company when a locality takes over operations. This is necessary, Bendheim said, for the local governing bodies to qualify for funds available under the federal Urban Mass Transportation Act. It does not bind localities to terms of labor contracts already in force, Bendheim responded when Del. Stanley C. Bryan, D-Chesapeake, asked. Three survive, 39 men missing in tug sinking VERACRUZ, Mexico (AP) Four bodies have been recovered and 39 men are missing following the sinking of a Mexican navy tug in the Gulf of Mexico Monday, officials said today. Navy officials said only three survivors were pulled from waters 60 miles off Veracruz. Boats, planes and helicopters were searching for survivors, authorities said. Authorities said many of the missing crewmen may have reached the coast on the two liferafts and not been found because of the mountainous rain.

Ted March 15, 1974 TO ALL CONTACTS Today the SI's communicated with me...and told me that The Organization, who had put Nixon into office...had voted to kill Nixon...eliminate him before the 1976 elections. (Also Kissinger to be eliminated.) This, I gather, is the group of billionaires, or multi-millionaires, world-wide, who are pulling the strings on their puppets...and who can hire anybody, anywhere...to get something done that they wish. As I understood the SI communication...they had ordered Nixon to resign and step down, or like that...and he will not. Therefore, as far as they are concerned, he has to go...like John and Robert Kennedy. But this time it will not be a shooting...they want it to look accidental...like cancer, or some fatal illness. Like Jack Ruby. Also...The SI's told me that the Organization does not want V.F. Ford to be President, because they have a special, hand-picked man they want to get into that world-shaking spot. Now, what they plan to do about Ford I do not know. The SI's told me...that this decision had just been made this week! And the SI's are seldom, if ever, wrong. Ted Owens (PK Man) FROM THE DESK OF Mr. Ted Owens (PK MAN) March 20, 1974 TO MY SCIENTISTS..... Box 48 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 (1) I hope that you were sufficiently impressed...with my recent file to you, complete with photo of UFO, taken at Williamsburg, Virginia. As you know, I am CAUSING UFO's to appear in a certain area of Virginia and make their presence known. The first happening was the giant UFO that appeared over the head of a policeman in Chase City, and stayed there for 15 minutes. Staying there that long was, of course, unusual for a UFO...but it wanted to make sure that the message was delivered. The second happening was the man who took some shots of the sky, evidently on "impulse", with his camera...and when the photos were developed he had a beautiful photo of a UFO. Of course I know that he was "compelled" to take out his camera and photo the sky, in that particular place, at that particular time...so that the UFO's I had communicated with could deliver yet another message. If you do not agree...then consider the odds against anyone pointing a camera up at the clouds and walking away with a perfectly beautiful photo of a UFO in flight! === **Page: 2 of 8** SCIENTISTS.... ...ve sent you...I set up a project unicate with UFO's and ask them where I live) and make their Dr. Fogel...which I will dub O appeared within a few days , for 15 minutes.

Next day I checked the paper. Nothing at all on the important event. How was I to document it? Of course, such a happening would have the utmost importance to Project Alien results...because in my communications to the UFO's I had asked them to let themselves be seen by humans within the target area, and here, somehow, they'd managed to set up a photo for humans. So I wrote Channel 13 TV in Norfolk, asking them to confirm they'd had the program on. They would not answer me. I realized that The Organization had clamped a lid on the target area... if anything did show up in the way of UFO phenomena...they'd manage to hide it, a la Watergate coverup. (Guess as soon as they spotted the brief TV reporting, they went into action quickly and muffled it.) So I called the Virginia Gazette newspaper in Williamsburg and got their address...then wrote to them for newspapers covering the entire week, hoping to get a newsclip for documentation. I told them why. (The papers came later...but nothing in them whatever about the event, which happened right there and was important enough to be shown here on TV!) They gave me a clue as to where the man could be found who took the photo of the UFO. Now, Jim Johnson, who works at Colonial Store here, manager of the meat department, had seen that same TV spot...and asked me about it...so in an effort to try and get some kind of documentation I asked Jim to give me an affidavit on it. Also, I wrote to The Man Who Saw The UFO...at the address given me by the Williamsburg newspaper, on February 22. Time has passed, and I've been cussing because I thought I'd been stopped on documenting this important happening. Then this morning I not only got a letter from the man who took the photo of the UFO...BUT HE ALSO SENT THE PHOTO! Am enclosing a copy of same, along with the complete file on this.

Just days after I set up the project with Dr. Fogel...which I will dub "Project Alien" at this time...a giant UFO appeared within a few days inside the target area, over a policeman, for 15 minutes. You were sent the documentation on that...complete with newsclip. Then...on February 14 I turned on our TV and caught the last two minutes of a news telecast...a TV reporter interviewing a man in Williamsburg who had accidentally taken a photo of a UFO there (it was displayed on TV). I dialed to the other news channels for the 6 o'clock news to learn more of this...because it was most important...Williamsburg is inside the target area. But the program did not appear anywhere on any channel at 11:30 news...but nothing. Next day I checked the Norfolk newspapers and the Richmond newspaper. Nothing at all on the important event.

Unfortunately I only saw the last minute of the telecast...and a friend here, Mr. Johnson, gave me the details of it. He had seen it en toto.

Sincerely, Owens FROM THE DESK OF Mr. Ted Owens (PK MAN) Box 48 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 (2) February 16, 1974 Dear Dr. Fogel: It gives me pleasure...to send you this report. Last Thursday afternoon, at a minute to 6...I dialed in Ch. 13 news. A man was being interviewed on TV by a reporter from Norfolk. The man had a photo of a flying saucer in the sky. He had been making photos of the sky a few days before...and when developed, there was the UFO! I checked all the rest of the TV news programs that evening, but nothing further on it. I checked all of the newspapers for several days...not a word on it. Since I cannot document a fleeting glimpse of such on TV...am writing Ch. 13 for confirmation of the thing.

(He had dropped into Colonial Store for groceries, where I manage the meat department.) He said that he had caught the last two minutes of the show, where television reporters were interviewing a man in Williamsburg, Virginia, less than a hundred miles from Cape Charles...and that the man had taken a photo of a flying saucer in the sky, and displayed the photo on the television program. I had seen the program, and filled Owens in on some of the other details. Owens came to me today, and asked me to confirm the fact that I had seen the program concerning the man in Williamsburg taking a photo of a UFO there recently...because he said there had been no newspaper write-up of the incident, and he needed some documentation on it. Therefore am confirming the fact that the television program occurred, just as stated above. Mr. Jim Johnson Manager, Meat Department Colonial Store Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 *ABC network (5) === **Page: 7 of 8** Feb 28, 1974 Hospitality House RICHMOND ROAD AND VIRGINIA AVENUE, WILLIAMSBURG, VA. 23185 Dear Sir: I received your letter via Daily Press. It was Sunday afternoon approx 2pm. I was taking pictures of cloud formations from my Hotel window. I am a traveling musician and I am presently engaged here in Williamsburg. I had no idea of what I had taken until I developed the film Sunday night. When I saw what I thought was a U.F.O. I immediately went to a local photographer who runs a photo store here in Williamsburg, from whom I buy my supplies. He examined the negative & confirmed my surprise, he brought it to N.A.S.A. Langley, H.Q. & their findings confirmed the picture. The facts surrounding the picture are equally astounding. The picture was taken with Tri-X High speed film on A.S.A. 400 shutter speed of 1/1000 sec with an orange filter to enhance cloud contrast. We found out the clouds were approx 1 mile high & Broken. The two Chevrons are that it rose on a 45° angle & sort of blurred the photo & estimated speed of 6,000 M.P.H. The other theory is it rose made a 90° turn & sped away with an estimated speed of 14,000 M.P.H. The startling fact that no sonic Boom was heard. === **Page: 8 of 8** I sincerely hope this information may help, enclosed you will find a reproduction of the original Magazine.

Box 48 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 April 15, 1974 Dear Dr. Targ: $600 month from September thru January. You have received my file...showing an affidavit from Dr. Max Fogel...re an experiment utilizing other-dimensional (PK) powers to control pro football teams last season. I did fairly well...although not as good a performance as I usually give. The reason for this letter...if you can find a financial backer...to subsidize me this coming pro football season...I will spend the entire winter repeating the experiment for you and the backer. As far as I know no other psychic has ever attempted such an experiment...let alone produced what I consider significant results with such an experiment. It drains me of energy all week long...after a Sunday and Monday of expending psychic energy minute by minute, play by play, for some nine hours of solid OD (other-dimensional...various mechanisms, of which psychokinesis is one) work. This nine hours encompasses two games on Sunday afternoon, and one the following Monday night, NFL Games taken from my local TV Guide. Complete documentation on it, including notifying you in advance in writing the teams I am going to control with my mind. It is my belief that this season I could attain 80% to 90% accuracy. I would devote my full time and energy this coming season on this experiment...thus it would be necessary to have financial backing so that I would not have to dilute my mental power by trying to eke out a living whilst doing the experiment, which was the case last season...and which hurt my accuracy last season...because winter here is the most expensive time of the year (oil, an added $100 a month) and it was necessary for me to devote most of my time and energy last season to scramble to hold up my family financially...whilst doing the experiment for Dr. Fogel.

Text Any textual data included in the document === **Page: 1 of 1** April 15, 1974 TO MY SCIENTISTS The SI's...UFO entities...gave me information yesterday, that had puzzled me for long years. First, a bit of background is necessary. In 1956 a UFO came down near our car, and my daughter and I lost an hour of time (near Dallas, Texas)...following which I began to get tremendous ideas with regard to helping and healing people...which I put down into a book, which grew into quite a large book. Techniques to use most certainly not available anywhere else on earth. (Dr. Zakow, astrophysicist, told me that this book was much more impressive to him even than my miracles, some years later.) At any rate, it became quite evident, as time passed, that the ideas were given me by the SI's. Using the techniques, I saved lives for people who were otherwise given up for dead by the medical profession; also did many other astounding things with the ideas. In Fort Worth, Texas, for years...I trained pupils with the Idea Book...first teaching them auto-hypnosis, then combining hetero-hyp with the auto-hyp to build in the techniques given to me by the UFO entities. Here in Cape Charles I have trained some pupils...one man flew from Holland. Another from Italy. Another from Canada. Another flew here from Thailand. A husband and wife flew here from California. And so on. All to be trained by my special, UFO, methods. Only yesterday, however, did the UFO's communicate with me...and explain what it was all about (before, all that I knew was that it gave my pupil a "superbrain"...) They told me...that this system I teach...utilizing methods taught to me by them, the UFO's...would raise the frequency of my pupil (besides giving them a Superbrain). They explained to me...that as I had moved up the Psychic Spectrum (which I explained to you not long ago) that my frequency had also raised, correspondingly. And that as my brain had been, and is, increasing its power, exponentially...that my frequency also was changing. Now...when the UFO's find a promising person somewhere out there in the United States (or out in Europe, or wherever)...they guide that person to me, so that by using the system the UFO's had taught me...I can change that person's frequency. The purpose is...so that if mankind has a nuclear war, the SI's can somehow (I do not know how) preserve those high-frequencied persons to restock the Earth. The UFO's explained to me...that they are at present busy changing the Earth's frequency to a higher level...so that they can sort out those humans they wish to survive, and use to restock the Earth. Also, those humans who have the potential which the SI's value...but not the high frequency...they are trying to get to me...so that I can raise the frequency of that person to a satisfactory level. (These, of course, are superior, key, people to the SI's.) My UFO system...consists of teaching my Pupil autohypnosis first...then to go into the UFO methods of training...which, as I have said, are unique. And since some of the techniques are silent and invisible that I use, to my Pupil...my system cannot be duplicated by other humans (due to my half-SI brain.) Ted Owens (PK Man) PS...the UFO's use the red SI discs to spot and locate key people who can be valuable to them, and "send" them to me to be trained.

Text Any textual data included in the document === **Page: 1 of 1** April 19, 1974 TO THE SCIENTISTS..... Again, this is not a letter based on fact or documentation. Rather, it is intelligence based upon my own experience and knowledge. At this late date....I saw some pictures of humanoids (as described by witnesses who had seen them emerging from "flying saucers"). They had wide cheekbones, large eyes, sharply pointed faces, with pointed chins. Now, while in Las Vegas, and winning heavily at roulette for a client....I noticed a tiny man seated at an empty table about 20 feet away. His eyes were glued on me, and what I was doing. And he had precisely, absolutely the same face as the pictures in the magazine of the "UFO occupants." He had gray hair; was neatly dressed in a suit, but with shirt collar open; his head was smaller proportionately than it should have been, seemed to me, compared with his body; he had wide cheek bones, large eyes, and his face came to a peculiar point, and he had a sharply pointed chin. He held a notepad and, as he watched me intently, he made notes on the notepad. Several hours later I was at the Greyhound Bus station, waiting an hour for my bus. I noticed that the little man with the pointed face, the same man, was standing beside the door leading outside to the buses, and was watching every move that I made. Bear in mind....the night before, Las Vegas thugs had tried to get me....then had tried to fast-talk me into taking their taxi. Now, another man was also watching me, but close-by....he would keep running over to a nearby public phone and make calls, then return to his position. I assumed that the two were working together, as Vegas hoods, making sure that I was leaving town. (Remember that the one big fear Vegas hoods who own casinos have....is a major psychic coming to town and cleaning up.) When my bus was ready to go, I picked up my bag and walked through the door out to my bus. The little man with the pointed chin had moved out ahead of me, and stood alone near the bus....eyes still glued on me. He watched me get onto the bus, took a seat and looked out, and he still stood there beside the bus, looking toward me in my seat. Now, I am convinced that the little man with the pointed face and chin....was not a Las Vegas hood at all, but since he was a twin for these UFO occupant pictures....but a SI, possibly there to protect me from the Vegas hoods. Years ago in Philadelphia, a strange lady called Zelda asked me to meet her after office hours at a certain bar. I went there and we sat and chatted. She was a member of an organization studying psychic phenomena, so this was not an unusual thing. Suddenly the waiter brought half a dozen drinks to our table....said a dark-skinned man at the bar had bought them for us. Then he walked over to our table and sat down. I was stunned. He wasn't negro, yet he was dusky skinned. Zelda seemed to know him....and they talked with great rapidity....so fast I couldn't even follow what they were saying....and although the conversation I could make out seemed a normal pattern, albeit at high speed, I thought it must have been a code of some sort at the time. Then I got my big shock....the man had six fingers on each hand! His voice was musical....like a person from Jamaica....and he wanted to take me to a nearby "gymnasium".

Am one of the world's greatest psychics...also a member of Mensa...so am qualified to give you some functional ideas that could work to bring your daughter home safely. Have the following message placed all over San Francisco just as the circus puts up posters...also feed it to all of the newspapers: "A Life For A Life"...I, William Randolph Hearst, father of Patricia Hearst...will do the following for anyone...who will bring my daughter Patricia back safely to me. I will set you up for life...you will need for nothing. All living expenses will be paid, and a home (house) purchased for you. It need not be in the United States; it can be anywhere in the world...and I will personally pay for your living expenses, necessities, for the rest of your life. This, in return for my daughter's life. A fair trade. But more: anyone "turning in" a member of the SLA so that the member is captured by the authorities...will be paid $10,000.00 (or 25,000) by me in immediate cash! Simply call the FBI, say you are "The Owl" and give details on how the member, or members, can be found...and as soon as they are captured, call the FBI again and tell them where you want the money delivered; your reward. And you will have it within 24 hours. And no one will have your identity. You will not be touched by the FBI or any of the authorities. You will be free to be happy with all the money. Signed, William Randolph Hearst." Try it, Mr. Hearst...this worked in a grand manner back in the Wild West with reward posters. It still will today. There are some weak members of the SLA who will "bite". I feel it in my bones.

Text Any textual data included in the document === **Page: 1 of 3** 2 I have recently written to Dr. Russell Targ, the noted physicist who wrote me and asked to be able to follow my work with my collaboration... and made him a proposition...to do over the same experiment that I did for Dr. Max Fogel last pro football season...with this difference: last season I had to scramble the entire season to make a buck to put food on the table and pay the rent, etc. This used up a whole lot of energy...so that by the weekend, when it came time to PK a bunch of pro games, and control them with my mind...my energies were low. AND ENERGY IS THE KEY TO MY ESP WORK. Like a flashlight with weak batteries...will throw off a dim light...so will an ESP person, whose energy is low, be able to work in a weak manner. I asked him to find a financial backer...to cover the pro season by sending me $600 a month to live on...leaving my energies free and frisky to control pro games. Last season I was successful 73%-74%, working "tired". This season, if I do not have to "work tired"...I should be able to get a 85%-90% average. It makes...one heck of a difference. Now, re your really brilliant idea...of my syndicating a world-wide column...you are RIGHT ON! I could, very easily, take current events as fast as they are happening... and project what lies just ahead...re them all! And I am frighteningly accurate! Take now, for instance...I can tell you that Nixon will collapse soon and go into hospital for surgery. Stomach area. Things like that. What will happen re Israel and the Middle East situation...what will happen in elections coming up...where assassination attempts on noted persons will be made next...what prominent entertainers are going to do next...and so on. This just couldn't be beaten...on a rapidly-moving, daily basis! THEN...to add icing to the cake...people could send me their photographs... and I could tell them things about their life nobody knows; their character, personality and disposition; AND WHAT LIES AHEAD OF THEM IN THEIR LIFE! Each day...one of these could be done...printed in the column. And it can be requested in the column for them to verify accuracy or inaccuracy...and print those, too, when they come in! I tell you, Frank, that column would JUMP! However...I do not know how to get that syndication. So will make you another proposition (but keep in mind my other, pro team proposition anyway)...if you can act as my agent and be instrumental in my getting syndication...I will send you a xerox of the contract...then each week, or month, when the pay comes in...will send you your check for 10% for the entire first year. Fair enough? Then each year thereafter while am syndicating...will send you a fat bonus just for the heck of it. See what you can do, Frank? Best....

I continue to be amazed by your accomplishments and documentations. Incidentally, has the movie materialized yet? I have really had no association yet with anyone from the Ambassadors since that is someone else's beat but I still would love for some team to accept your offer. Yet, I also wonder what would happen to sports as it is now if they became a battle of minds instead of bodies. Yes! How? Have you ever thought of syndicating a world-wide column, which could contain both predictions and personal messages to readers? I think it would be very beneficial to you and also would help establish your accomplishments and powers. Best regards and tell your son I said hello. Frank Wickham === **Page: 3 of 3** FROM THE DESK OF Mr. Ted Owens (PK MAN) April 26, 1974 Dear Frank: Have missed your sports columns recently. There is no substitute for a Frank Vehorn column. The movie...they (the studio) keeps calling me every so often from Los Angeles and I talk. to the producer for almost an hour each time. But it is moving like a turtle. What would happen to sports...if ESP Masters entered into the fray? Color, that is what would happen. If you think that the public is titillated now...over pro football...I would unhesitatingly predict that the titillation would become doubled...with ESP Masters fronting each team, each game...covering each play. And the TV and press media would have a field day! Can you imagine the interest...of PK Man fronting "The Flying Saucers" team...going head-to-head against Peter Hurkos or Jean Dixon...fronting the Miami Dolphins? We would, of course, wear the colors and insignaa of our team...be dressed in some special jumper suit or outfit...and probably be on the bench with the players...or perhaps centered among the fans just behind the bench. And why should it not be a battle of minds as well as bodies? Would be the A-1 sauce on the steak, Frank. Why do you suppose teams playing at home...are automatically, as a rule, made 5-10 points before the game starts? Sure, there is a psychological lift...but all the home fans, wishing en masse for their team to win, are actually projecting a psychokinetic effect! Upon the game. I tell you Frank, when ESP Masters join the pro teams...it will add a load of color and excitement into the games that has never been there!

Text Any textual data included in the document === **Page: 1 of 13** April 26, 1974 TO MY SCIENTISTS After a cursory glance at the enclosed newsclips...you might say, "Well, Owens, what has this to do with you?" Everything. (Then you might ask, "Why are you so late in reporting all this?" Well, in all due respect...You try to do your work with no backing or salary, and see how far you get.) I refer you now to the book, "What The Seers Predict For 1972" by Brad Steiger and Warren Smith, Contempora Books (Lancer), 1560 Broadway, New York, New York, 10036, #78682-125, $1.25...or your favorite bookstore. The chapter on "Ted Owens, Predictions From Space Intelligences", begins on page 134...but turn to page 141. I quote from the book: "Trouble In Nevada" It would be wise to stay away from the state of Nevada. The SI's have begun demonstration against the modern Sodom and Gomorrah of Reno and Las Vegas, and all sorts of things have begun to happen -- earthquakes, riots, sinking earth. I have just received a report from a reliable source that says the ground level of Nevada has begun to sink. So stay away from Nevada -- or the PK may get you there if you don't watch out!" Please keep the above in mind, as you follow further. Now, as you read about the freak things that occurred...AND ALL REPORTED IN ONE DAY'S NEWSPAPER...KEEP IN MIND ALSO THAT I WAS IN RENO, USING OTHER-DIMENSIONAL POWER AND COMMUNICATING WITH THE SI'S FOR HOURS EACH DAY, while these things took place! See (1)...man sucked out of a plane window...on a plane HEADED FOR LAS VEGAS. "Guy Moshier of Los Angeles, head of the National Transportation Safety Board team investigating the accident, said it was the first such death he had ever heard of on a commercial airplane." And the body "vanished". (2) A "gambler's special" bus, HEADED FOR RENO, was "sliced up the middle". "...federal probers said they had recovered the bus' governor and that it was in working order. "It's still a mystery," said Henry H. Wakeland, director of the federal Bureau of Surface Transportation Safety. There you have not one, but two...freakish accidents...reported in the papers on the very same day...bearing out my warning in Seers Predict For 1972. In the first...nobody had ever seen such an accident occur before on a commercial airliner. In the second, it was a "mystery". But wait. There is more to come. ADSO reported in that same newspaper...was a tornado attack ALL AROUND ME. Matter of fact, I'd just driven out of Sparks...when it was knocked silly by a tornado. Now...recall the recent file I sent you...where the UFO landed in the "target area" in Virginia...which involves "Project Alien" between myself and Dr. Max Fogel...and remained over the head of a policeman for 15 minutes. That UFO was spotted by Officer OWEN. Then another UFO event I am connected with through documentation was several years ago when Big Foot held out a "hand" and stopped a car going 50 miles per hour...then reached in and held the hair of a woman in the car...whose maiden name was OWENS. === **Page: 2 of 13** Searchers Look for Body of 2 All right. See (3) now. There, in the midst of the tornado attack... Just north of me...is a woman's photo...named OWENS. Somehow, I do not know how, the SI's use this ploy...as an "arrow" pointing to me and my work with them. But let's even take this a bit further. The small article, "Scriptural Wind", was on the same page with the photo of Mrs. Owens. (Remember, the SI's have told me, and I have put it in print...that they say they are the 'angels' of the Bible we humans refer to.) Now...read that small blurb. "...no man knoweth whence it cometh..." -- just like UFO's, right? Then read further: "...It probably is manufactured on the mountaintop for the occasion, and starts from there." How...did the newspaper writer come to dig up this old quote from Mark Twain...that so fits? Did the SI's compel him? (Remember that in the past I have proved that they can compel people to think of certain things!) And...one further point. Go to the next page, "Strong Winds Change Some Lives At Stead"...and look at the bottom of the newsclip. "Her husband walked in. "I just got the bad news on my car from the insurance adjuster. AN ACT OF GOD?" "Was the trailer an act of God, too?" Mrs. Owens asked." This ties in with the "Scriptural Wind", with the SI's as angels, and with my "Sodom and Gomorrah" statement...and with something else. Do you recall the affidavit I sent you last year...where I controlled a football game, in collaboration with Dr. Max Fogel, and after the game one of the pro players stated that "someone UP THERE must like us!" (I was working with the UFO's on that game.) Also remember the recent massive tornado attack file I sent you...and in one of the newsclips, where a family had survived, a man said the very same thing, "Someone up there must like us" or words to that effect. And that tornado attack was connected with me (although I had nothing to do with it...to cause it myself...was due to SI anger). And this all went on...while I was there. Makes you wonder...how much else...freakish in nature...is occurring there...but I am not there to document it? You realize that Nevada does not want much of this sort of thing to get into out-of-state newspapers...hurts the tourist trade, which is their main source of income. But only PK Man...can tie all of this together intelligently...and point it out to you...tying all of the documentation together. And one further thought: was the horrendous force that I was using, for hours on end, in Reno...other-dimensional force...responsible for this freakish tornado attack?!! Was my daily communication with the UFO's UP ABOVE...responsible for the EFFECT "manufactured on the mountaintop (i.e., UP ABOVE) and starting from there"...??? G Owens === **Page: 3 of 13** 10-Nevada State Journal Wednesday, Nov. 7, 1973 Searchers Look for Body of Man Sucked out of Plane ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (UPI) – Searchers on foot, in four-wheel drive vehicles and airplanes looked vainly Tuesday for the body of a man who was sucked out of a plane window by depressurization Saturday. Officials said they doubted the body of G. F. Gardner, Beaumont, Tex., 45, would ever be found. Gardner was sitting next to a window when a jet engine came apart on a National Airlines DC10, hurled debris into the side of the aircraft and smashed the window. The plane's cabin depressurized and Gardner was sucked through the window at 39,000 feet. Guy Moshier of Los Angeles, head of the National Transportation Safety Board team investigating the accident, said it was the first such death he had ever heard of on a commercial airplane. State Police Chief Martin Vigil said searchers on foot and in jeeps combed rugged terrain about 35 miles west of Socorro for the body. Two National Guard helicopters and a state police airplane were involved in the search. Vigil said searchers "have very little hope of ever finding his body." The explosion occurred when the jet was about 50 miles southwest of Albuquerque on a flight from Houston to Las Vegas. The pilot made a successful emergency landing at Albuquerque 15 minutes after the incident. 'Gamblers' Special' Bus Speed in Doubt SACRAMENTO (UPI) – The speed a "gamblers' special" bus was traveling when it slammed into a freeway pillar killing 13 persons emerged as the focal point Tuesday of state and federal investigations into the weekend crash. The California Highway Patrol tentatively blamed the Saturday night accident on "excessive speed," but federal probers said they had recovered the bus' governor and that it was in working order. "It's still a mystery," said Henry H. Wakeland, director of the federal Bureau of Surface Transportation Safety. He said his investigative team found the governor as properly set to limit the bus' speed to about 67 miles per hour. However, some witnesses told patrolmen the double decker bus enroute from Richmond, Calif. to Reno for a weekend of gambling for its 43 passengers passed their vehicles at more than 80 miles an hour. The patrol also said there were no skidmarks on the Interstate 80 freeway where the bus hit the five-foot diameter overpass pillar. The pillar sliced the bus up the middle for more than a third of its length, scattering victims, luggage and debris for hundreds of feet. The impact indicated the bus "was moving right along to do that kind of damage," said one patrol investigator. Wakeland said that because of the conflicting reports it would be months before his final report is concluded. He said his men had finished inspecting the bus wreckage and would now concentrate on interviewing witnesses. Another conflict in the investigation has been the condition of the driver, Douglas Moore, 26, who was killed in the crash. Arthur Davis, 45, Richmond, who was seated directly behind the driver, told authorities Moore clutched his chest and tried to stand up an instant before the bus hurled into the pillar. However, county Coroner George Nielsen said an autopsy on Moore's body showed "there was absolutely nothing wrong with his heart. He was in perfect health." It also found no trace of alcohol or drugs in his blood. === **Page: 4 of 13** Reno's Morning and Sunday Newspaper FINAL Nevada State Journal 104th Year-No. 347 Wednesday, November 7, 1973 15c Daily-35c Sunday Winds Wrack Stead; 7 Hurt By JACK STEVENSON Staff Writer A "Washoe Zephyr" tumbled down off nearby mountains Tuesday morning, demolishing mobile homes north of Reno and lifting roofs off a Carson City auto agency building and a new stable. Joe Ganser, chief meteorolog- ist for the National Weather Service, Reno office, said "there was nothing unusual about the Tuesday winds, and more can be expected this week. (Related stories, photos, pages 2, 16) "It's just the first good win- ter storm we've had, and it's accompanied by a strong south- westerly flow of air across the Sierra-which we know better locally as a Washoe Zephyr." Seven persons were injured in havoc of overturning trailers and wind-whipped debris which struck its heaviest blow in the Sierra Shadows mobile home park at Stead. Helen Fowler, 37, was listed in satisfactory condition Tues- day night at St. Mary's Hospital, where she was being treated for facial lacerations. Six other persons, less seriously hurt, were treated at local hospitals and released. Of 33 trailers in the park, 10 were destroyed, another five badly damaged. In Carson City, at about 9 a.m. Tuesday, the roof of Don Weir's Carson City Dodge agen- cy was lifted off and dropped into the service department of the auto center. "It was horrible," a witness said. "The roof went straight up in the air in slow motion and landed partially in back on new cars and customers' cars." Farther down the road, at (See STEAD, Page 2, Col. 1) 'Scriptural Wind' "It's a peculiarly Scriptural wind, in that no man knoweth whence it cometh. ... "It comes right over the mountains from the west, but when one crosses the ridge he does not find any of it on the other side! It probably is manufactured on the mountaintop for the occasion, and starts from there." -From "Roughing It," by Mark Twain JAN and GARRETH OWENS === **Page: 5 of 13** # Strong Winds Change Some Lives at Stead ...I Don't Think I Ever Want to Get Back In a Trailer By BOB FELTEN Staff Writer "All my money is in here," Richard McKenzie stood looking at a pile of rubble which Monday had been his mobile home. "I don't know what I'm going to do. I just don't know. I don't think I ever want to get back in a trailer." His home had been destroyed by strong winds. His neighbor said it happened about 1 a.m. Tuesday. McKenzie works until 2 a.m. "It was a miracle nobody was in there. If I would have been there, I wouldn't be here right now. Look at it. There's not much to salvage." Ten mobile homes were destroyed and seven persons hospitalized when winds struck the Sierra Shadows Mobile Home Park at Stead early Tuesday morning. The recreation building was a center for relief efforts in the middle of a park which resembled pictures of a war zone. Residents of the park milled around and ate food served by the Salvation Army and donated by local clubs. Mike Kay leaned against the wall, his unshaven face almost expressionless. "We've been so busy, this is the first bite I've had today." "Our trailer was completely demolished. We salvaged some things, but not much could be salvaged. We got some clothes. When we left, we didn't have anything but what we were wearing. My wife had to get some pictures, especially the wedding pictures." His two-year-old son, Steve, has been taken by his grandmother to California, "until we get situated," Kay said. "I'm not exasperated or frustrated by this. We didn't have anything when we got married. We built it up until we had a lot. We figure we will just get started all over again, only this time it won't be quite as hard." The trailer was blown over their car. "It seems like we've about lost everything, but none of us got a scratch." The Kay's were warned by a fireman to leave their mobile home. "I wasn't scared. I was sure that something like this couldn't happen. We were sitting in the recreation room and someone came in and said my trailer had blown over. My first reaction was it was a bad joke, I know now it was a lot worse than that." In the corner of the recreation building beds had been laid out. Puppies wandered everywhere. Women held small children on their laps. "The trailer next door blowing over on top of us woke us up," Jan Owens said. She put her 15-month-old son Garreth on the floor. A dachshund puppy licked his face. "As soon as I can get a suitcase together I'm leaving here. I'm not too interested in coming back to live in a trailer." Her family's trailer had been moved about 10 feet off its blocks. The trailer which had awakened her had also damaged the Owen's car. Her husband walked in. "I just got the bad news on my car from the insurance adjuster. An act of God." "Was the trailer an act of God, too?" Mrs. Owens asked. When the wind started blowing Monday, Victor and Dorunca Calhoun decided to spend the night in a Reno hotel. "We've lived in trailers for three years. We never stay in the trailer when it starts blowing like that." Their trailer was one of the few not damaged. "We were lucky and a lot has to do with we have hurricane straps on the trailer," she said. Delonas Boothe's home was also blown off the blocks. "I wouldn't want to live in it again. We've got a house over in Oroville, (Calif.) We'll have to see where we stand, but I've got a hunch we'll go back there." A happy sidelight of the windstorm, at least for Rene Sharon, 13, was that the children from the park won't be required to go to school for three days. Was Rene scared? "When you see a mobile home coming toward your window, and pieces of board come through the wall, that scares you," she said. "It (the board) cut a gash in the wall of the bedroom and went through to the kitchen. By the time it got there it was in splinters," her mother Mrs. Mable Sharon said. "Our trailer was damaged, but I guess we'll just fix it up and get right back in it. We'll be teased terribly by our relatives. We moved out here from Oklahoma because of the tornadoes," Mrs. Sharon said. "I guess I'm a fatalistic person, but it's silly to worry. This bothered my husband and daughter more than me. When life is fully filled up, then it expires, that's just the way things are." ALSO SAME DAY (SAME PAPER) === **Page: 6 of 13** Carson Auto Agency Smacked by Twister By MARILYN NEWTON Staff Writer Two of nine persons inside the Don Weir Dodge Agency in Carson City were injured Tuesday morning when a tornado-like wind slammed into the building, lifted the roof then dropped it. Butch Suter, parts manager, and Ron Brown, service manager, were both struck by flying glass. Brown also received an electrical shock while trying to shut off the building's power. Carson City Sheriff Robert Humphrey said witness reports indicated the building was struck by "a twister or small cyclone," noting the roof was "picked up and turned partially around." Trailers next to the building were untouched. It was about 9:15 a.m. when the twister was first seen coming down a hill from the west. "It was a cloud of twisting dust and it came so quickly that when it hit it was like a train hitting the building," Brown said. Suter described it as an "explosion." "I went into a back room and lay down in a corner. I could hear things coming down around me. I looked up and saw the roof start rolling back. I ran from the building and was ready to climb a fence when everything subsided. It only lasted about 10 seconds, but it seemed more like two hours. I hope it never happens again." Another employe dived over a dutch door to get out of the twister's way. Another, a mechanic, had no place to go so he crouched next to one of the cars, which later was struck by a large door. The mechanic was not hurt. Two customers were sitting in their truck. As the roof was lifted off, live electrical wires fell on the vehicle. Brown grabbed the power switch. "A shock slammed me against the wall and I fell down," he said. "I got up and grabbed it again. I had to shut off the power. I didn't know but those people might have been killed if they touched the metal of the truck."

The Winter That Wasn't Va. Pilot WASHINGTON (AP)-On Thursday, the first full day of spring, the National Weather Service looked back over the winter and said that, averaged for the nation as a whole, it was "considerably milder than normal." "And that was very fortunate in terms of the heating oil situation," it said. The Federal Energy Office concurs. FEO says in its latest report, for the week ended March 8, that the winter has been about 10 per cent warmer than normal and that heating oil inventories are 32-million barrels higher than a year ago. But, don't breathe a word of this weather summary to folks in places like Grand Junction, Colo.; Lincoln and Grand Island, Neb.; Topeka, Kan.; Peoria, Ill.; and parts of northern California and southwestern Oregon. The weatherman concedes that folks in some areas had it rough at times last winter from either record cold-spells, snowfalls, or severe floods. Government meteorologists say that the generally mild winter featured sometimes spectacular extremes in widely separated areas of the nation. On the mild side, they say, the southeastern states never had it so good. The weather systems held responsible include the jet stream, a huge high speed river of air that courses above the globe; a ridge of high pressure over the eastern Pacific Ocean; the so-called Bermuda high, another high-pressure area located in the south-tropical Atlantic; and a Chinook wind. The latter originates as a warm, moist wind off the Pacific coastal regions but, as it blows over the Rocky Mountains, it descends as a dry wind-warm in winter and cool in summer-that causes snow to melt quickly and even evaporate. The jet stream straved much farther north than usual, helping slow down great quantities of especially cold air from Arctic regions and triggering the lengthy cold spell in mid-America. But, as it sped east across the nation, it influenced the Bermuda high to help spread mildness in the eastern sector. Meteorologist James Wagner of the Weather Service summed up the winter weather thus: "On the whole, and very fortunately, it was a milder than normal winter on the average for the country, with areas of most prominent mildness being in the Northwestern and Southeastern states, although most of the West and East were also warmer than normal." I said I would do (make it happen) - This, and I did!! Owens Va. Pilot Spring Mockery 3/25/74 It didn't compare to the Ash Wednesday Storm of 1962, which wrecked Virginia Beach and much else of this coast, or the Summer's End Storm of 10 years later, which was notable for slamming a barge against the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. Even so, the Spring's Start Storm of yesterday intruded as rudely as its freakish predecessors. It was Christmas weather exactly three months late. While a March 25 snow is yesterday's had the qualities of a blizzard. At midday the temperature was below freezing and a nor'easter was gusting at better than 20 knots. Visibility was zilch. Conditions probably were better in Siberia. But then, as we were remarking on Wednesday, "a dismal opening of spring is a small price to pay for a winter that never was." We weren't expecting inflation to reach over our shoetops and numb our ears, though. April 2, 1974....TO THE SCIENTISTS.....this follows my file of where i announced that I would keep the weather mild the winter on the southeastern coast....and repeated again this year when I appeared on Larry Angel Show, TV, in Baltimore, and announced I would do my best to keep it mild this winter too. Seeing this newsclip...and reading my file, enclosed, on Texas weather control (and remember from last year when i pointed out I as controlling the jet stream)...it should be rock-obvious to you now...that I can indeed control the weather over vast areas when I wish to do so. Owens XPR 1/man) === **Page: 9 of 13** NEWSWEEK April 1, 1974 creek. As a result of the fertilizer shortage, grain production is likely to be off 6 to 9 million metric tons. On top of all these problems, the world's farmers have been beset by weather conditions that threaten to dislocate food patterns around the world. According to some meteorologists, these changes in climate will probably be a long-range factor. For a variety of reasons, they point out, the earth seems to be cooling off, and this cooling process is causing a southward migration of the monsoon rains. This in turn is producing a dry-weather pattern stretching from the sub-Sahara drought belt through the Middle East to India, South Asia and North China. Even the U.S. could soon be at the mercy of the weather. Some meteorologists are predicting a cyclical return to drought in the Great Plains States-possibly even dust-bowl conditions. "Even a mild drought in this tight supply situation," said one Agriculture Department official, "could be a disaster." Over the years, the U.S. supplied a staggering $20 billion worth of food to needy countries under Public Law 480, the so-called Food for Peace program. But, in recent years, the program has been allowed to wither, and with food demand rising around the world, American farmers-encouraged by the Administration-have flung themselves into the business of selling food on a strictly cash-and-carry basis. In fiscal year ending in June 1972, the U.S. exported $8 billion worth of farm products; last year the figure reached $12.9 billion; and when this fiscal year ends in June it is estimated away item but as a way of earning the foreign exchange needed to pay for imports, including high-priced crude oil. "Food for crude" is the shorthand for the current policy at the Department of Agriculture. With virtually all U.S. food surpluses committed to trade, not aid, it is difficult to see how the U.S. can continue to play its old role as provider of food to the world's hungry masses. And there are many people in Washington who do not see this as such a bad thing. "The worst thing we can do for a country," says a State Department official, "is to put it on the permanent dole. That would be an excuse not to solve its own problems, especially population. Now, our thinking is that feeding the world is an international problem, maybe one for the United Nations." That view was underlined last September when Henry Kissinger asked the United Nations to call a world conference on the problems of feeding the world. "No one country can cope with this problem," said the Secretary of State. In response, the U.N. plans to hold a World Food Conference in Rome this November. Among the major proposals certain to be made are that the less developed nations discourage population growth and that the industrial nations work together to help feed the world's poor.

He saw each restrict the Oilers to one hit in three inning stints in a game the Tides won, 3-2, with two unearned runs in the ninth. Tulsa, registering unearned runs of its own in the first and eighth, took a 2-1 lead into the fi-nal inning. The day before the Tides had scored twice in the ninth to tie at 16-16. This time a former Tidewater shortstop, Bobby Heise, erred on consecu-tive plays. Then Rick Puig broke an 0-for-22 slump with a hit to right that drove in the winning run. In contrast to the cannonading 24 hours earlier, each team managed only seven hits. There were just two extra base-hits, both windblown dou-bles that produced the first Tidewater run in the sixth. Burbank, however, came to see Harris and Glass pitch. And pitch they did. Harris walked one and struck out three in the first three innings. Glass walked no one and struck out two in the middle three. Sterling worked the last three, allowing five hits but making an important single himself in the ninth. "This didn't help me make up my mind," admitted Burbank, who for the first time is mulling the possibility of sending 11 pitchers north with Antonelli next week. Sixteen remain on the roster but Skip Hellen and Ken Esposito are not figured toward the first and if Simpson and Todd return to double-A there will be 12 names from which to choose. The rumor persists that a deal involving Jerry Perkins is work-ing, which means lefthander Gary Manderbach will be the lefthander reliever. If Mander-bach isn't deemed ready, Bur-brink may study the list of pitch-ers now being made available around the minor league com-plexes. Should both Harris and Glass make it, there won't be room for all four righthanders now pen-eiled into the bullpen—Phil Hen-nigam, Jerry Cram, John Strohmayer and Mike Wegener.

Although Owens, the physic from Cape Charles, has called a truce in his interference of sports teams, the Nets have a dancer who puts the whammy on the Squires. And there is evidence to support a claim that the dancer, not Julius Erving or Brian Taylor, is respon-sible for the jam the Squires find themselves in today. The dancer, wearing a flashy cape and huge cap, normally makes his appearance at New York home games at the beginning of the second period. To the sound of an organ, he comes prancing down the court and does a shuffle directly across from the Squires bench. Just as he gets the rhythm going, the dancer aims his arms like a tommy-gun and puts the wham-my on the Squires. He does it frontwards, backwards and, if things are going really bad, between his legs. So, you don't believe, eh? Well, in the first game the Squires trailed by only one point at the end of the first period. In the next quarter they were outscored by seven and went on to lose. Game No. 2. The Squires were down by five at the end of the first quarter. Then comes the dancer and the whammy and the Squires are behind by 24 at the end of the second period. The dancer didn't accompany the Nets to Virginia when the third game was played last Thursday in Hampton. In that game the Squires trailed by eight at the end of the first period. Emergency Call from Nets Without the dancer there the Squires outscored the Nets 31-26 in the second quarter and went on for the victory. New York took no chances Sunday. The Nets sent out an emergency appeal for the dancer and there, at the end of the first quarter and without any music, he appeared.

The Atlanta Braves slugger, needing one home run to surpass the record of 714 he shares with Babe Ruth, went hitless in three times at bat as the Braves beat the Cincinnati Reds, 5-3. "I hope tomorrow night it'll all be over with and things can get back to normal," said Aaron, who was taken out of the game in the seventh inning. Tonight, the Braves make their home opener in Atlanta Stadium against Los Angeles and at pres- ent it seems like the turmoil of the past few days has been kind of foolish. It started nearly a month ago when Braves' manager Eddie Mathews announced he would keep Aaron out of the lineup until the team opened its home season. His reasoning was the Atlanta fans have the right to witness Aaron's first rec- ord-breaking efforts. Then Kuhn stepped in and "strongly suggested" Aaron play at least two of the three games in Cin- cinnati. Mathews complied and started Aaron in the first game of the season. Aaron's first swing of 1974 produced home run No. 714 and the 40-year old outfielder tied Babe Ruth's record. Friday, Mathews announced Aaron would not play in Saturday's nationally televised game. That was a doubtful starter for Sunday. Saturday, Ma- thews-openly defying Kuhn's wishes-said Aaron would not play again until the team returned to At- lanta. Kuhn was irate. He contacted Mathews and said Aaron had better be in the lineup Sunday or face "severe consequences." So Aaron played Sunday while millions watched. He grumbled "Who in hell does Kuhn think he is?" Sitting in the clubhouse after the game, Aaron said, "I played the game today and I did the best I could. I hope it was good enough."

He contacted Mathews and said Aaron had better be in the lineup or Ma-thews and the Atlanta Braves would suffer "severe consequences." So Aaron played Sunday while millions of people grumbled "Who in hell does Kuhn think he is?" Sitting in the clubhouse after the game, Aaron said, "I played the game today and I did the best I could. I hope it was good enough." Asked if he had tried to hit a home run, Aaron smiled and repeated, "I'm satisfied. I did the best I could." His best was being called out on strikes twice and grounding out to third. Pondering what had taken place on the field, Aaron added, "I'm satisfied that we won the game. Although I did the best I could, I was not satisfied with my performance." Regardless of his performance, Aaron had the sympathy of the majority of the country's baseball fans. Here are some reactions to Kuhn's edict: > "I don't think the commissioner was right," said Bernard Konerman of Cincinnati. "Aaron should have a say in whether he plays." > "I think it's up to the manager," said John Fehl-haber of Chicago. "I do agree they are depriving the people in other cities of seeing him play. I think everybody would like to see him hit the re-cord-breaking home run. I doubt if we in my gen-eration, at my age, will ever see it happen again." > "The sooner Aaron hits the home run the better it will be for him," said John Venetos of Glendale, Calif. > "The man is paid to play a whole season and that's what he should do," said Jerry McCall of Staten Island, N.Y. > "Maybe Aaron should get a pain," said Mrs. Marty Gagliano of Milwaukee before the game. But what do the people in Atlanta think? What are their feelings in the location of the perform-ance of what has become a sacred ritual? > "I don't really care," said Charles Nesby. "I have several thousand more problems that need to be taken care of. As long as he plays, I'm sat-isfied." > "I feel if the Braves want to keep Aaron out of the lineup, they should," said Mary Thomas. Hundreds of others questioned agreed that Aa-ron should not have been forced to play. But it's over now and Aaron is heading home. He will play tonight. The record still awaits. Before the game, Mathews said he would "feel some regret if Aaron hit a homer today." After the game, Mathews said, "It's not a street (See Kuhn, Page B7) === **Page: 13 of 13** Virginian-Pilot, Monday, April 8, 1974 B5 Rise, Fall Of Eakins Squires' Jim Eakins had his ups and downs during Sunday's 116-88 loss to New York.

The Squires, who have not been able to prevent the Nets from scoring the entire se- ries, failed miserably in their attempts to put points on the scoreboard themselves. After coming up only one point short in the first period, the Squires made only five of 22 attempts in the next 12 minutes. For the duration the Squires managed only 32.4 per cent success. The Squires made only two mild stabs for a comeback in the second period. They closed to within eight points with 8:33 left in the third period before the Nets surged back into a 16-point spread. In the opening minute of the fourth period the Squires pulled to within 10. Then came the 25-2 streak. The lopsided New York triumph showed that the Squires' chances did not depend on the center match up between Jim Eakins Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Virginian-Pilot, Friday, April 26, 1974 A17 Texas Panhandle Wheat Lost AMARILLO, Tex. (AP) — The Texas Panhandle's dryland wheat crop is lost, the victim of a severe drought, bugs, and several weeks of hot, blustery winds. The cost to farmers: $160 million, perhaps more. Officials in Washington say the impact nationally is minimal. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says that with the exception of some drought areas of New Mexico and western Texas, this year's crop is "generally good in all areas of the nation." And dealers note that wheat prices, while somewhat higher, don't appear to be reflecting the Texas drought. But the economy of the Panhandle, already crippled by plunging cattle prices, is headed for another shock. Texas usually produces about 5 per cent of the nation's wheat, much of it grown in the Panhandle. If there had been a decent rainfall by April 15, some of the crop might have been salvaged. There was little rain. "In this immediate area I don't think any dryland wheat can be saved," says Arnold Prichard of the Producer's Grain Corp. With no water, the wheat never had a chance. Any sprigs surviving the dry spell were snipped off by insects, mostly green bugs. Even irrigated wheat has suffered from drought and bugs. "Our irrigation wells have to have some help from mother nature," says Milton Johnson of the Producer's Grain Corp. Prichard tells of an irrigation farmer near Bovina, Tex., who watered his 600 acres five times, sprayed insecticide three times, and says now: "Hell, even if wheat was $5 a bushel I couldn't get my money out of it." Knowledgeable producers forecast a Texas wheat crop of less than 50 million bushels, about half the 1973 harvest. "When we have a wheat loss in Texas it touches everybody somewhere — this is spending money," says Bill Nelson, executive vice president of the Texas Wheat Producers Association. Nelson, who put the wheat loss at $160 million, said the loss simply plucks that much from the national cash register. The drought is so bad that there was no young wheat suitable for cattle grazing. Farmers rent their land to cattlemen in winter and spring when the wheat is two or three inches tall, then the cattle are removed and the crop matures. April 27, 1974...Mr. Ed Busch, Radio WFAA, Dallas, Texas I am still awaiting the signed statement of fact...which I assume, in all fairness, you will supply me. By that I mean...I "worked" for you...to supply your listeners in Texas with a "miracle" of freak weather, at your own instigation. Therefore a simple admission of you to the quite obvious success of same, would not...be unreasonable. Now...you can add to the "Texas Miracle File", which is what I call it...since your challenge and my accepting it...Texas has had (1) an earthquake, (2) a tornado attack, (3) some of the coldest weather in the entire history of Texas, and now, (4) "weeks of hot, blustery winds"...which, incidentally, seem to have knocked out the wheat crop in Texas. Sorry about that...but the SI's promised amplified heat, you know (see the original letter); and they promised a "major demonstration." Texas, it seems...is certainly getting one! And, in variety. PS...The giant UFO is still up there, hanging over Texas, invisible...causing effect...and will not move away until I signal it to do so. === **Page: 4 of 7** May 14, 1974 TO MY SCIENTISTS As if the Texas Miracle I have just completed...was not enough...now you have more! See the Ed Busch file I sent you...note that I talked with Mr. Busch, live on Radio program out of Dallas (by telephone hook-up)...and told him that at that moment there was a giant UFO over Dallas...with the purpose of creating "freak" weather there, in Texas. (Following which came an attack of tornados; record cold; and hot winds that wiped out half the wheat crop. I had previously given him a statement in writing that I would ask the UFO's to create freak weather...and four days afterward Texas had an earthquake. This just previous to the "giant UFO" remark.) Now, this, just occurred before the enclosed "UFO flap" over the Dallas-Fort Worth airport. Note that Mrs. Hodgson expressed a specific opinion...that UFO's are attempting to contact humans on earth. I have explained on the Ed Busch Show, and other shows, that when a human sees a UFO...that UFO programs them for something. So, logically, I am sure that the UFO Mrs. Hodgson saw...programmed her to express the above opinion. Therefore...it is quite exciting...that after I had stated over live radio to Dallas, Texas...that a giant UFO was indeed there...then these UFO sightings occurred (and an actual photo was taken)! Not to mention the concrete "proof" of the freak weather that appeared on cue...to substantiate my statements! It all ties together into a complete picture. Yes? One other tiny detail...which is significantly interesting to me. The UFO in the newsclip...shined down its searchlight on a Mexican family. Now, on the Ed Busch Show I went into great detail, not once, but on two different radio shows...of how the UFO's modified my brain while I was isolated on the desert IN MEXICO! (Many times before I have explained to you how the SI's "talk" by their actions; i.e., the Bigfoot that grabbed Mrs. Owens' hair at Grosse Point, Michigan...the UFO in the target area of Virginia (my "Project Alien" experiment in collaboration with Dr. Fogel) seen by Policeman Owens...thus tying me to these specific happenings.)

By BILL CASE Times Herald Metropolitan Staff Are Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and their crews maintaining regular observation vigils on a hill along the west boundaries of the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport at night? Five witnesses from three families have told airport officials and Federal Aviation Administration officers they believe something like that may be happening. All report numerous UFO takeoff sightings and extremely low level flights westward away from the airport during the hours of darkness between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m. The flights occurred during the last six to eight months, they said. Mrs. Sandra Hodgson, 36, a medical technician employed at Irving Community Hospital, who lives in an apartment complex at 2305 Mustang Drive, Grapevine, told The Times Herald she has had numerous sightings en route home from work. "After sighting the lights, which seem to travel and hover at just about tree-top level, on several nights, I reported the UFOs to the FAA control tower at D-FW Airport and to George Burledge at the FAA's Fort Worth regional headquarters," she said. "They advised me to try and get a picture of one so I got out my camera on Thursday night and, when a UFO appeared east of our apartment building about 200 yards away, I took a shot." Mrs. Hodgson's picture shows a small jagged twisting yellow light against a pitch black sky. No size or shape of the object is discernible. However, it appears to be moving west from left to right in the classic patterns of the UFO flights away from D-FW airport. Fascinated by the phenomenon, Mrs. Hodgson said one night last week while watching the unusual lights she and a friend, Debbie Carter, 17, who lives in the same apartment complex, got in their car and followed it. "It stopped down a small road over a patch of woods about a mile east of us and beamed a strong white searchlight down into a clearing," she said. "When we got there the light was still hovering in the air over a clearing where a Mexican-American family live in a converted construction building." Mrs. Hodgson and Miss Carter said they found Mr. and Mrs. Lucio Perez and his brother, Leonardo Perez, standing in the clearing looking up at the light. Perez, who does not speak English, took Mrs. Hodgson's photo of the UFO and pointed to the same place in the sky where she and Miss Carter said they saw the object with its searchlight hovering directly over them. He also indicated with gestures the UFO lights appeared to be coming from the field at the edge of the airport. The point they indicated where the lights took off is on a hill providing a panoramic view of the entire airport. Reporters who trudged through high grass and weeds to the fence line reported they found a circular area of grass and weeds about 20 feet in diameter twisted down in a clockwise pattern. It appeared something had set down on them. Mrs. Hodgson, who said many of her neighbors have seen the lights but do not like to discuss them, believes occupants of the UFOs are attempting to contact humans on earth. "But judging from accounts of the way people have acted toward UFOs and their occu- pants in other sightings elsewhere, I guess they feel we are hostile," she said. "But I'd give anything to contact them." The only noise Mrs. Hodgson said she has heard during a sighting was a hum similar to that of an electric generator. UFO SIGHTING?--The tiny light appearing in a twisting pattern in this photo is a UFO which Mrs. Sandra Hodgson of Grapevine says is keeping watch on the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. FOUR OF THE FIVE witnesses who say they have seen numerous UFOs taking off at night from a remote western area of the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport point to the spot they say one of them landed in a clearing in the woods. === **Page: 6 of 7** mr Wrangler The Apparel Mart Room 4009 2300 Stemmons Freeway Dallas, Texas 75207 214 637 1271 13 May 1974 Mr. Ted Owens Box 48 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 Dear Mr. Owens: I am one of the Ed Busch Talk Show "faithfuls" and your appearances on the show are indeed high points as far as I am concerned.

Extremely humorous. Now to business.) I trust...that the enclosed signed, notarized affidavit will impress you sufficiently. This "Texas Miracle" was not performed just for my 45 contacts...you performed it solely, but for all of the thousands, or perhaps hundreds of thousands (?) of Texas listeners to Radio Station WFAA in Dallas, Texas...and especially for Mr. Ed Busch, a topflight (in my opinion) host for that radio show. on live radio, I was challenged by Mr. Busch, an open-minded skeptic, but skeptical nonetheless...to produce "freak" weather over Texas...to prove my connection with the UFO intelligences, and to prove my own powers. I accepted his challenge, both in writing, and on a telephone hookup from Cape Charles, Virginia, to Dallas, Texas. Following came earthquake, tornados, record cold, then hot winds that knockedout half the Texas wheat crop. Mr. Busch is in no way responsible for the damage to Texas wheat...I am, solely. I regret it very much...because I sympathize with the plight of the hard-working farmers, fully. It is just...that the UFO's that I work with...saw fit to do it. All right. It is rather obvious...to anyone other than an absolute idiot... that I did in fact, through my UFO contacts...control the weather over the State of Texas. Now....for an even larger demonstration. See the enclosed newsclip, "Nations to Study Weather". Sixty-six (66) nations, in fact. This giant undertaking by 66 nations will encompass 20 million square miles, will begin June 15...and last 101 days. This...is the type of major demonstration which I enjoy...because it demonstrates the enormous powers...invested in me by my UFO's (SI's). Thus, I put it on record (as I did verbally on Mr. Busch's WFAA, Dallas, radio show last night) that the UFO's and I intend to harass and heckle this "unprecedented project"...GARP, Global Atmospheric Research Program... by using my powers ("My"...=UFO) to cause freak accidents in the exercise, power failures, weird mishaps of all kinds, freak weather for the exercise, magnetic and electromagnetic disturbances, storms, lightning attacks, and the total result...of a "Keystone Kops" operation straight out of a Mack Sennett comedy. Probably no word...of the mishaps and freakish happenings...will be ALLOWED to leak out. But on that large scale of operation...SOMETHING should leak out...and I will then have The Garp Miracle. Ewinc TOK Mant === **Page: 2 of 2** # Nations to Study Weather May 10, 1974 ## Summer Look at Tropics BY AL ROSSITER JR. WASHINGTON (UPI)—Scientists, ships, planes, buoys, and satellites from 66 nations will study the weather and seas of a third of earth's tropics this summer in the largest such international scientific expedition ever mounted. Some of the world's most advanced environmental measuring instruments will gather information on a 20-million-square-mile band of land and sea from the eastern Pacific across the Atlantic to the western Indian Ocean. The goal of the unprecedented project is to close a major gap in meteorology and build an understanding of the role the tropics play in shaping earth's global weather patterns. This knowledge is expected to help scientists devise ways to eventually predict weather a week or more in advance with reasonable accuracy. The atmosphere's circulation is driven by heat from the sun. Half the sunshine that falls on earth goes to the tropics and that is the only area to receive more energy from the sun than it loses in radiation back into space. Much of this surplus heat is stored in the tropical oceans and then is transferred to the air. It is carried upward in massive tropical cloud systems and transported around the world by high-level winds. "This area is the boiler of the giant heat engine that runs our atmosphere," said Dr. Verner Suomi, chairman of the U.S. committee for the Global Atmospheric Research Program (GARP). "We want to better understand the parts of the global weather machine and how it runs." The project is called GATE for GARP Atlantic Tropical Experiment. It is sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization, a specialized agency of the United Nations, and by the International Council of Scientific Unions. The 101-day study will draw on 4,000 scientists and other personnel, 38 ships, 65 buoys, 13 aircraft, and six kinds of American and Soviet satellites to observe conditions from the top of the atmosphere to 5,000 feet deep in the oceans. The experiment has been in the planning stage for five years and is scheduled to begin June 15. American logistics aircraft already are flying to the project headquarters in Dakar, Senegal, and some of 12 Russian ships to participate have left port in Vladivostok. For its part, the United States will supply nine ships operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Coast Guard, the Space Agency, University of Miami, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, University of Rhode Island, and Texas A&M University. Eight U.S. aircraft will take part along with several civilian and military weather satellites, including a new generation weather watcher scheduled for launch May 16 from Cape Canaveral. Dr. Robert M. White, NOAA administrator, said at a news conference held by 18 officials that the project will cost $53 million. Russia and the United States are each contributing about $18 million. network of land stations in Latin America, South America, and Africa. About half of the participating ships will be stretched across the Atlantic at 300- to 600-mile intervals, and the other half will be concentrated within a 200,-000-square-mile area 600 miles west of Africa to study tropical cumulus clouds and cloud clusters in detail.

Before receiving this psychic impression...I had gone to a lot of trouble and expense to offer my services as a psychic, both to the authorities, and to the Hearsts. But I received no answer from either...so I sat on this latest information until it could come out over some radio show or other. (I'll tell you this now...I am tired of offering my tremendous psychic ability...to persons, and authorities...who simply ignore it. From now on...they'll have to come to me.) On Friday, April 19, 1974, I was going into the Virginia National Bank here in Cape Charles...and to my astonishment two negros emerged through the front door...leaving the bank as I went in...and one of the negros was the absolute, accurate image and description of the "Zebra Killer" composite drawing (from San Francisco witnesses) that had appeared in the Virginian-Pilot newspaper that very day. I hurried home and telephoned the Cape Charles police. Charlie Powell answered the call...I gave him this information and he said "okay". Today (date above) an article appeared in the Virginian-Pilot to the effect that the FBI yesterday disclosed that an alert had been issued in the Carolinas and Florida for suspected members of the Symbionese Liberation Army, wanted for the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst. So I called the Norfolk FBI today...and told them of my notifying the police here at Cape Charles of having seen the "Zebra Killer" here in Cape Charles, on April 19. So here, speaking as a master psychic...is my information to you: (1) The Symbionese Liberation Army and the Zebra Killers are one and the same group. Killing innocent whites...is the SLA method of getting new "muscle" recruits...and in carrying out the torture and killing of a white...the SLA knows for sure that they are not getting an FBI undercover agent into their group. (Of course, the killings are closely watched and monitored by the SLA overseers.) (2) The SLA/Zebra group has crossed the United States (or most of them) in camper trucks, and are indeed now on the East Coast...hiding out in their campers and with negro friends who will hide them, and supply them with East Coast guns which have been stolen on the East Coast. Some SLA girls will be dressed as male hippies...with shaved heads and wearing a man's wig and clothes. Patricia Hearst herself may well be disguised in this manner. (3) (This prediction has nothing at all to do with the above...but will give it to you just the same)...President Nixon will collapse and go into hospital sometime this year for an operation...stomach area.

He stated that as he had entered the Virginia National Bank, in Cape Charles, that morning...a negro had been leaving the bank...and Owens stated that he was positive that the negro was the very same one whose face was shown in the Virginian-Pilot newspaper that morning as the San Francisco "Zebra Killer." (A composite drawing made up from the description of witnesses in San Francisco.) Owens stated that this negro's face was absolutely identical...to that of the "Zebra Killer" of San Francisco, and Owens stated also that he wondered why this killer would be so far away from San Francisco. He said that the negro was accompanied by another, larger negro. He also stated that he had never seen either of the two negros in Cape Charles before. This is a true and accurate statement.

One hundred and fifty officers, organized in special teams, were deployed in six zones of the city where the slayings occurred. The officers carried composite drawings of the killer, or one of the killers, presenting him as a black between 5 feet 9 and 6 feet of slender medium build with a moustache and frequently wearing a watch cap. Robert Brooks, 23, attired in a long black coat and a knit hat while waiting for a bus, said he was spotted by plainclothes men and interrogated in their car for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, traffic and other checks were conducted on him by radio.

Swanson, special agent in charge of the South Carolina FBI office, said Marlboro County authorities had received an anonymous telephone tip that a black male, believed to be a member of the SLA, had attempted to purchase a gun in the small town of McColl. The town is located just south of the border with North Carolina. Swanson emphasized that there was "nothing concrete at this time" but he said authorities were running a thorough investigation, which included an alert for a blue automobile in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Florida. Swanson said the car was carrying three black males and two females, one of whom was white. May 4, 1974 5/5/74 N.C. Alert Issued for 'Hearst Car' CHARLOTTE, N.C.

Capt. R. E. Phillips, who issued the alert, said a woman told police that she saw the car, a Buick, going north from Charlotte Saturday. The woman said the car contained three black males and one white female who fit "the general description of Miss Hearst," Phillips said. Phillips said he had no other indication that the 20-year-old daughter of newspaper executive Randolph A. Hearst or members of the Symbionese Liberation Army were in the state. The SLA has claimed responsibility for kidnapping Miss Hearst from her apartment in Berkeley, Calif., on Feb. 4. "The reason I authorized this to be put out is that I don't want a police officer to approach this car if this is the SLA or members of it or anything like it," he said. "I don't want them walking up on this car without knowing what they were approaching and getting blown in two." 5/6/74 No More On Car Sighting MONROE, N.C. (UPI) — North Carolina authorities Sunday said there had been no further reports on a car seen Saturday carrying three black men and a woman resembling kidnapped heiress Patricia Hearst. An alert remained in effect for the red Buick with California license plates, but Charlotte Police Capt. R. E. Phillips said, "I haven't heard of anyone stooping the." The car, according to a witness, was seen at an intersection here early Saturday carrying three black men and a white woman who fit "the general description of Patricia Hearst," said Phillips. The FBI in Charlotte declined to comment on the reports. "I had a decision to make," Phillips said. "There aren't that many red Buicks with California plates in this state. If some officer had approached such a car not knowing about this report and gotten killed, I could never have slept again." He said the witness said he spotted the car about 6:45 a.m. at the intersection of U.S. 74 and U.S. 601. Monroe is about 30 miles southeast of Charlotte. Saturday's report was the second in as many days. South Carolina officials Friday said they received an anonymous tip that a man, who resembled a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army that claimed credit for the Hearst kidnapping, attempted to buy a gun in McColl, a small city near the South Carolina-North Carolina border about 80 miles from Charlotte. The original alert, issued by the FBI in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida, was for a blue car carrying three black men and two women, one white and one black. "There's no telling where these people are at," Phillips said. "We're not taking it lightly. We're checking it out." === **Page: 4 of 6** May 11, 1974 TO MY SCIENTISTS (Today I read, with great amusement, The Daily Star, or National Star...some new weekly publication...that listed the "top psychics" -- . Extremely humorous. Now to business.) I trust...that the enclosed signed, notarized affidavit will impress you sufficiently. This "Texas Miracle" was not performed just for my 45 contacts...you scientists included...but for all of the thousands, or perhaps hundreds of thousands (?) of Texas listeners to Radio Station WFAA in Dallas, Texas...and especially for Mr. Ed Busch, a topflight (in my opinion) host for that radio show. on live radio, I was challenged by Mr. Busch, an open-minded skeptic, but skeptical nonetheless...to produce "freak" weather over Texas...in connection with the UFO intelligences, and to prove my own powers. I accepted his challenge, both in writing, and on a telephone hookup from Cape Charles, Virginia, to Dallas, Texas. Following came earthquake, tornados, record cold, then hot winds that knocked out half the Texas wheat crop. Mr. Busch is in no way responsible for the damage to Texas wheat...I am, solely. I regret it very much...because I sympathize with the plight of the hard-working farmers, fully. It is just...that the UFO's that I work with...saw fit to do it. All right. It is rather obvious...to anyone other than an absolute idiot...that I did in fact, through my UFO contacts...control the weather over the State of Texas. Now...for an even larger demonstration. See the enclosed newsclip, "Nations to Study Weather". Sixty-six (66) nations, in fact. This giant undertaking by 66 nations will encompass 20 million square miles...will begin June 15...and last 101 days. This...is the type of major demonstration which I enjoy...because it can demonstrate the enormous powers...invested in me by my UFO's (SI's). Thus, I put it on record (as I did verbally on Mr. Busch's WFAA, Dallas, radio show last night) that the UFO's and I intend to harass and heckle this "unprecedented project"...GARP, Global Atmospheric Research Program...by using my powers ("My"...=UFO) to cause freak accidents in the exercise, power failures, weird mishaps of all kinds, freak weather for the exercise, magnetic and electromagnetic disturbances, storms, lightning attacks, and the total result...of a "Keystone Kops" operation straight out of a Mack Sennett comedy. Probably no word...of the mishaps and freakish happenings...will be ALLOWED to leak out. But on that large scale of operation...SOMETHING should leak out...and I will then have The Garp Miracle. E. W. Garp FOR IMANT === **Page: 5 of 6** # Nations to Study Weather By AL ROSSITER JR. May 10, 1974 ## Summer Look at Tropics WASHINGTON (UPI)-Scientists, ships, planes, buoys, and satellites from 66 nations will study the weather and seas of a third of earth's tropics this summer in the largest such international scientific expedition ever mounted. Some of the world's most advanced environmental measuring instruments will gather information on a 20-million-square-mile band of land and sea from the eastern Pacific across the Atlantic to the western Indian Ocean. The goal of the unprecedented project is to close a major gap in meteorology and build an understanding of the role the tropics play in shaping earth's global weather patterns. This knowledge is expected to help scientists devise ways to eventually predict weather a week or more in advance with reasonable accuracy. The atmosphere's circulation is driven by heat from the sun. Half the sunshine that falls on earth goes to the tropics and that is the only area to receive more energy from the sun than it loses in radiation back into space. Much of this surplus heat is stored in the tropical oceans and then is transferred to the air. It is carried upward in massive tropical cloud systems and transported around the world by high-level winds. "This area is the boiler of the giant heat engine that runs our atmosphere," said Dr. Verner Suomi, chairman of the U.S. committee for the Global Atmospheric Research Program (GARP). "We want to better understand the parts of the global weather machine and how it runs." The project is called GATE for GARP Atlantic Tropical Experiment. It is sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization, a specialized agency of the United Nations, and by the International Council of Scientific Unions. The 101-day study will draw on 4,000 scientists and other personnel, 38 ships, 65 buoys, 13 aircraft, and six kinds of American and Soviet satellites to observe conditions from the top of the atmosphere to 5,000 feet deep in the oceans. The experiment has been in the planning stage for five years and is scheduled to begin June 15. American logistics aircraft already are flying to the project headquarters in Dakar, Senegal, and some of 12 Russian ships to participate have left port in Vladivostok. For its part, the United States will supply nine ships operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Coast Guard, the space agency, University of Miami, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, University of Rhode Island, and Texas A&M University. Eight U.S. aircraft will take part along with several civilian and military weather satellites, including a new generation weather watcher scheduled for launch May 16 from Cape Canaveral. Dr. Robert M. White, NOAA administrator, said at a news conference held by 18 officials that the project will cost $53 million. Russia and the United States are each contributing about $18 million. network of land stations in Latin America, South America, and Africa. About half of the participating ships will be stretched across the Atlantic at 300- to 600-mile intervals, and the other half will be concentrated within a 200,-000-square-mile area 600 miles west of Africa to study tropical cumulus clouds and cloud clusters in detail. === **Page: 6 of 6** Tarry COPY May 14, 1974 Editor - Dallas Times Herald Mr. Bill Case - Dallas Times Herald Recently I have appeared on your Dallas WFAA Ed Busch Radio Show several times...by telephone hookup from Cape Charles, Virginia. I work under the observation of four top scientists. Enclosed is a signed affidavit from one of the top scientists, which is self-explanatory. These scientists...do not expose their names and reputations to kooks or crackpots, you know. They all wrote to me, and requested to be allowed to observe my work carefully. A bit of background is necessary now. In February I was challenged, by Ed Busch, over his radio show from Dallas (live on the air) to produce "freak" weather in Texas. I accepted his challenge...and some days thereafter Texas was struck with an earthquake; following this, on a later Ed Busch show over Dallas...there to produce "freak" weather over Texas. That very night...a huge storm center began OVER TEXAS...produced tornados and hurricane winds...and extended a thousand miles to Virginia, where I was talking from. (This is all documented thoroughly...Mr. Busch has the documentation on it.) Next Texas was struck by the coldest weather in its history. After that came hot winds that blasted half the Texas wheat crop. After that...came your article...re the UFO being sighted, and photographed...in the Dallas-Fort Worth airport area. My...UFO...as I stated on the Ed Busch Show. By the way...I will appear on the Ed Dubovitz (?) radio show next Monday afternoon from 1-3...believe it is WRR.

Am just going to go ahead and tell you what's up, regardless. Just hope "they" (govt.) doesn't block my going. This woman in Frisco I just trained, in chatting with me...learned that the SI's wanted me to go to an old, isolated castle in Europe...for a face to face meeting...to work out arrangements for communications face to face with humans...to try and help humans save themselves from themselves. To my utter astonishment...the woman, illie, told me she'd had a savings account for ten years...an extra one that she didn't need...which would be just enough to get me over to France for a shot at the SI's castle plan. Naturally I leaped at it...and have already made boat arrangements. Trouble is...the SI's stipulated that I do the Castle Plan in England, France and Germany (they wanted three different geographical locations; presumably so that if govt. is slyly involved in surveilling me...they can circumvent govt.) And to get to England after France, then to Germany...I would need some thousands more, 3 or 5. I figure, as long as I am going over there...might as well try to do it right, right? But...there's no way with the money she gave me. Just enough to get over there, stay perhaps a week, then return. Hell, the entire human race should supply me with an unlimited amount of money to get this thing done right...spend a full month in France, at the old castle...then a month in England, at the castle...then a month in Germany, at the castle...then...we'd have some answers. But...the whole human race isn't helping. Just you, to survive; and Millie's boat passage. Today wrote to Dr. Claude Poher in France, famous scientist...told him I was coming over...and just baldly asked him to give me a hand. But doubt if he will... Funny...possibly the fate of the human race could depend on this Castle Plan; yet I haven't the funds to do the job correctly, while there.

"ill mail a package to you in the morning. Contains three fine burglar alarms which you can put around in your place ... and nobody, but nobody, can pick your locks and come in on you without the alarm being given. /Also, if you travel, tuck a couple of them in your suitcase to use in your hotel rooms. Also in the package ... a purse I thought you'd like, and a necklace ] know you'll like ... picked them up on the trip in a small, quaint shop. .. while was thinking about you. The stones in the necklace are genuine. .. coral, jade, etc. At least that's what they told me. Gorgeous. Now, as I wrote from Paris ... the mission to laris was even more successful than I had dreamed, though not in the way / thought it would be. ut ... that is the way the ci's work, obliquely. (ddly enough ... when I got back and found your letter ... stating you'd help the "I's and me further with the it was exactly what was needed ... almost as if you knew the communications they'd given me at imoges (and I haven't even told you yet). From the first ... my mind was in sort of a state of shock when I returned from seeing you and training you in California ... shock from realizing a xxkikkplan frustrated for about ten years, thanks to your thoughtfulness and help. I immediately took a bus to ew York and spent three days there, getting ready for the trip. @ent to Cook's Travel Agency and tried to get a freighter there. Nr. Heim at Cook's sent me to an agency that handles freighters ... but I was told that all freighters were booked up in advance for a year ... and besides, freighters will not take children because there are no doctors aboard. So went back to "cok's, and he told me the only ship coming up, available, was the S.S. France. I had never heard of it ... but found out that it is the best there is. I concluded the ship arrangements with him and got the tickets. (was afraid to leave Martha and the kids at home ... so was taking them. ) Next, I went around and bought clothes for Martha and the kids. (Here in this tiny town in the country, they have no clothes to speak of. Beau wears a pair of beat-up tennis shoes, and Martha and the baby just wear tattered old stuff. That suit I wore when I saw you, is my only claim to genuine clothing ... the rest of thetime I wear floppy, safari-type clothes. So it was a case of starting from gratch, since I was sure that they'd hardly fit onto the S France in what they had. Also the SI's had instructed te to pick up a special camera ... which I did. I knew they'd once given me photos of them (in my book) and figured they'd give me something else of great value in the way of photos (and they may have ... am having the rolls developed now. .. will send you copies of all the photos when they are done. ) Indeed, the camera probably was for me to get just a few seconds of photos ... the castle ... which will tell you about later in this report. ) Returned to Cape Charles and had to go through a whole lot of red tape to get a group passport for all of us. Finally we all got onto a bus and went to New York to get onto the ship. Now here is a funny thing. The agency, cook's, told us the day we'd leave on the ship was the 26th. And it was on all the bulletins, etc. But i told Beau and artha a week in advance that it would be the 27th. Sure enough, on the 26th they put up a sign at the dock that the ship was delayed and would be a day late. . would leave on the 27th. We stayed at the Sheraton, right at the water's edge where we could look out and see the ship itself. === **Page: 2 of 7** All of this, of course...step by step...was costing a barrel of money. None of us had ever been to Europe, or been on a luxury ship, either. The SIs had been strangely quiet...only communication I'd had from them was to get the camera. But I could tell they were watching, watching.... Now, I'd bought the most inexpensive cabin on the ship, for four...but you know what? They gave us an "outside" cabin, with portholes looking out on the ocean...one of the best cabins...at the same inexpensive price. Don't ask me why...maybe someone made a clerical error. We were supposed to have a "cheap" inside cabin ($1500) with no portholes; boxed-in, you know...so we got a real break right there! The outside cabins cost about a thousand more, to give you an idea of the break we got. Now, before we sailed...I instructed my "gang" to talk to their Subconscious cones in our head would be upset by the motion of the ship...and to take the necessary steps to correct it. They didn't...and all three got deathly seasick. I did...and wasn't the least bit sick the whole trip; enjoyed my cigars, matter of fact. You'd have laughed and laughed, Billy...at me striding around the ship, puffing on a cigar, clouds of smoke drifting...and the other passengers looking at me with horror, then running for the nearest rail! After caught on to this I stopped the practice...so as not to make any more of them sick. The food on the ship, I was surprised to hear...was said to be the finest cooking in the whole world. And it most certainly was. Beau and Teddy ate in the Children's Dining Room. Martha and I ate in the Main Dining Room. Another peculiar thing happened. The first day at our table we had a grouchy, sour waiter. When we got back to our cabin I told Martha good lord, wish we had a cheerful wonderful food. Well, the next meal we were assigned not one, but two cheerful, friendly waiters for the rest of the trip. Any ship that can read your mind in your cabin...then make an appropriate change...is indeed quite a ship. Another peculiar thing...I don't know how many people there were in our dining room, on our deck...my guess, 100 or so. They were all jammed in at their tables. Martha and I, the whole trip...had a table for seven...all by ourselves! Another passenger asked me (green with envy) "how come you and your wife get that big table all by yourselves?" I told him I didn't know. We arrived in Paris on July 4. Now, on the ship I had an idea we were in trouble...because on the ship itself no one spoke English. All French. Luckily, regardless of the fact the only subject I ever flunked was French...I still remembered lots of words...and could communicate enough. Also...I discovered to my surprise that by "probing" with telepathy, deliberately...I could understand what they were saying and meaning, as they were using, to a great extent. (In Paris, I later, I got a small French-English book with the words to use it, got so good at the lingo.) Anyway, we struggled off the ship with all of our bags and cases...through the Customs...and had to take a train from there (Le Havre) to Paris. When we got to Paris we came out in a huge railroad station. There we stood, mouths open, a mountain of bags and cases at our feet...and no where to go. Cook's had tried to get me to take rooms in advance at the Hotel Grand...but something told me not to. One thing that told me not to was their price...$75 a day! At this point another peculiar thing happened...a woman strolled by, turned, said "you looking for a place to stay? There's a nice, small hotel about two blocks that way." And she moved off. Believe it or not, it cost ten dollars to get our stuff into a cab and two blocks to the hotel. It was then I found out...this was the way it was going to be. We got to the hotel...and the owner immediately moved us into a fine, large, roomy apartment fronting on === **Page: 3 of 7** 3 the street. (This was the Hotel D'Athenes, on the Rue d' thenes. Means Hotel of the Greek, I think.) Cost about $25 a day; very cheap in Paris. But of course...we were to quickly learn the cost of cabs, food, etc. A single meal for us four came to $10 to $15 every time. After about four days I tried getting bread, milk, juice and cold cuts and eating at our room...but the kids and Artha couldn't stand this... Communicated with the SI's and asked them to give me some guidance. Every soul we saw jabbered French at us. I only met one person there in the two weeks...that spoke English adequately, and that was Gary Cooper's daughter, Maria...but tell you about that later. Well, the SI's told me to go to Le Figaro, the big newspaper in Paris... and try to get them to write me up...so that interested persons might help me with the "Project Millie"...help me find the castle; then help me get there. We had no car...and to rent one costs $15 to $20 a day... so couldn't afford that, to get out into the country. Even if I could, had no idea where to go. Needed the French Government, really, to help on that end. Why not? All the governments of the world should turn to...and help me with this special project, since the results will benefit them tremendously if I am successful! So I went to Le Figaro...and a Madame Kitty sent me to a Mr. Barrat at Paris/Match (this took several days; everything in Paris, it seems, is manana...just like Mexico City). Barrat was amazed by my material I had brought...had heard of me...and was greatly excited. He's a big executive at Paris/Match. He called his wife to leave home and come to his office to meet me...She speaks some English, and his English is poor. She came over...and I did a psychometric reading on her...she said it was 100% accurate...and they were both greatly excited. He closed his office and they took me to lunch, lasting several hours...with Gary Cooper's daughter, Maria (a fine oil painter...I understand her oil paintings have been in Life and Newsweek) and her husband, Byron Janis, a famous pianist. Finally we all went to the apartment of Byron and Maria...up in a penthouse, with guards guarding the guards. And here is where I made one big blunder. Just before going into the Janis apartment, I asked Barrat if I should take my cigar inside. He told me, in a hushed voice, that the Janis's didn't smoke...So, I put my cigar up on top of the outside of the Janis front door, to smoke when I left. It was a darn good cigar, and had only just lighted it, and in my country way, didn't want to waste it. Maria stood watching me with amazement, put that cigar up over her front door. Ut that, I feel, was a booboo. Anyway, once inside, Maria made us expresso coffee...then I showed them my books, papers, etc. Maria exclaimed when she saw the cover of my book with the oil painting of the entity on it. She ran over to a corner of the apartment and brought over a painting she'd painted just that morning...before she even knew about me. Know what? It was an exact duplicate of the entity on the cover of my book! Same slit eyes; same form exactly. Only difference was...she'd split the head in half. And as I recall each half was a different color. (This to match my brain; half human, half alien?) Anyway, for an hour or so we chatted...and Maria and Barrat's wife were eager to learn the SI System...and it was set up for the coming Saturday and Sunday for me to teach them. (Oh...Barrat had meanwhile gotten me through to Dr. Poher at Toulouse, head of the French NASA, rocket research and all that...and I was to leave that night for Toulouse to see Poher. Then after getting back...was to pick up with the Barrats and the Janis's.) Well, the Barrats insisted on taking me back to the hotel and meeting Martha and the kids. Here was another shocker. === **Page: 4 of 7** 4 Because, while Artha and Beau and Teddy are precious humans... believe me, they will not fit into any social setting that you an name with. And the French...particularly these Barrats... are sticklers for form; manners; dress; everything we aren't. Ha ha...when Barrat saw Artha and the kids he recoiled. His wife, however, was crazy about Teddy (everybody is, at sight)...and she held him for a bit. Then they took me to the rail station to catch the train to Toulouse. Before the train, they took me to a restaurant... and another odd booboo occurred. We sat down at a table with the Barrats across from me. Here I must mention that Mrs. Barrat is quite beautiful...he is 57, I think he said, and she's 30...about the same age set-up as Martha and I. I am 54; Martha is 36). Anyway, his wife got up from his side and came over and sat beside me real chummily. Barrat got an awful look on his face, and excused himself...and didn't come back for awhile while we sat and had a coffee. But the whole thing did not escape my notice...and I thought...oh Ch. I took the train to Toulouse...and it wound through hills and mountains and valleys south into France, almost to the border of Spain. Upon arriving I took a hotel room immediately, then took a cab to find Dr. Foher. It couldn't. After half an hour of trying, I directed the cab driver to the gate of the rocket complex and asked simply for Dr. Foher...the guard told us to go to a big hospital at an address. So off we went. At the hospital told us there was no Dr. Foher there. Back to the rocket complex where, after half a dozen guards and people conversed excitedly in French...we were finally guided inside and around to the building where Dr. Foher worked. I paid off the cab driver and the guard with us...couldn't find Foher's office. After ten minutes of looking, he finally found it. (this is the way the whole trip went, I might mention.) Foher and I talked for about an hour. I tried to show him my documentation and papers, etc., but he brushed them aside and said, "to me those are just papers." I must have some Irish in me, because at that my hair almost stood up on end...remember, I'd sweated blood for years to get those documents; and literally accomplished miracles to do so. Then he demanded I do something in the room, with a sweep of his hands. I told him that wasn't what I demonstrated; not that Uri Geller didn't do it. I pointed out that I did. I point not bend spoons; but could bend countries. He asked what I wanted of him. He asked I him to get the French government to set me up for a week at a castle (here let me say...before taking the trip; for years; the site had shown me an old, abandoned castle in my mind...that they wanted me to go to...and on the train down from Paris I had actually seen the very very same castle! On the side of a mountain, about five minutes by train south of Limoges. So...I knew now where to go!) He said if he did that...set me up for a week from midnight till five in the morning at the castle...then what? I said then I'd repeat the process in England; then in Germany. (His English didn't seem too good; that is, he spoke correctly...but I had a feeling he did not understand what I was saying adequately. Perhaps am wrong on that.) well, he didn't like that, and would have none of it. Then he showed the only real spark of interest during our meeting...he pointed to my wrist and said "what is that?" I told him it was a wrist-watch, with amazement. A Pulsar, given to me some time ago by a pupil...and quite common in America. I was aghast. Here was the head of the French NASA program who didn't know a Pulsar watch when he saw one! My lord. Then how could he comprehend other-dimensional force, entities, etc? === **Page: 5 of 7** I caught the train back to Paris (a six-hour trip) and it was then that the SI's communicated with me...for the first time in full. They instructed me to have the special camera ready...and take photos of the target castle on the way back (only seconds to do it, because the train is fast...I'd estimate it travels 70-80 miles an hour, and tunnels, trees and things block the view. I'd only have a few seconds to point that camera and photo the castle.) They told me...it had been of the greatest importance for them...for me to go to this (Paris, Toulouse) geographical area...to use my eyes and ears and brain. It also had been of great interest to them...to observe any surveillance over me during my trip which, they said, was a "trial run" type of thing. But what they meant was...they wanted to see if I was being followed by CIA or other US Govt. Agents; French agents; or whatever. And only by bringing me over to Europe to the location...could they find out. They told me...to bring the Barrats and the Janis's down to the castle to spend three nights there with me, and THEY WOULD COME DOWN TO US. They said to get Barrat to arrange it. (I was greatly excited by all this, and jotted it down on a card...which is before me now.) They told me...that for purposes of their own (having nothing to do with the castle plan) it was quite important for them to have me come to France. (I sensed that it was necessary for some kind of zeroing-in they want...with my alien brain.) They told me...that since the French government needed some proof (other than spoon-bending) that they would instruct me later on what to give the French government. So I got out the camera and prepared it for instant action. Waited for several hours. Finally spotted the castle and managed to get two quick shots at it before the train slid into a tunnel out of sight of the castle. Now when I got back to Paris, to the hotel...I got a real shock! A letter from Barrat was there...completely reversing his position and his stand. Rather rude letter, really. Everything was off, that had been planned. He said he had, however, some scientists who wanted to test me, and to call a number. I gave the crumby letter to the hotel owner, to MARII call the number Barrat listed...but the owner wasn't able to get any answer to the number. Hore was a dilly of a mess! The SI's would come down...I'd found THE castle...had the man who could arrange the renting of a car and pushing it through...and the man, for reasons unknown to me...had disassociated himself from me, scuttling, in effect, the whole thing! (At this point let me say...that since I predicted over a live radio show months ago, to Texas by phone hook-up in Irginia...that Nixon and Kissinger would be murdered by the "rich gang"....several key contacts have mysteriously reversed themselves a la Barrat...and I have a hunch that a Segretti-type operation is in effect. I.e., am under surveillance...and as fast as I line up something "key" or somebody "key" surveillance characters pull out impressive cards and convince my key contacts...that I am not to be worked with, for whatever reason. Well...at this point money had run very very low. I'd kept a couple thousand to get back on, tucked away...and was almost down to it. === **Page: 6 of 7** And it would take that, to return. I communicated with the SI's...and filled them in. (They monitor me, but I do not know how much they pick up, or how they pick it up...so always, to be on the safe side, I telepath to them...using words and other devices to pass on the intelligence to them.) They told me...to return to the U.S. immediately, since I had been rejected both by the French Government (represented by Foher and by the French people (represented by Barrat)...and then to give some world-shaking demonstrations for the French government and French people. They said to repeat the "Cleveland Miracle," with a slight variation. That is...to use my mind to cause drought in France...around Paris and Toulouse, especially. To also cause tremendous storms...accompanied by lightning attacks (my symbol)...and floods. To cause power blackouts. To make and direct hurricane winds at France. And they told me something they'd never told me before...that they were going to cause a RING OF STORMS in the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf...around the U.S. Tremendous winds; high waves; lightning; hurricanes perhaps. i.e., this would be a JOINT demonstration by me and the SI's combined! Not to hurt anyone...but to show the French Government that far from being a "Uri Geller"...I am might as well be a 5th World Power, because of the infinite power that I have connected with the SI's! You know, Willie...Edgar Cayce didn't bend spoons like Geller, and neither do I. Yet Cayce was a far greater psychic, IN HIS WAY, than Geller. And I am a far greater psychic, in my own way, than Cayce or Geller. But...some cannot comprehend this. At any rate...a small thing like Barrat changing his mind...has sprung loose all of this dynamo of powerful phenomena which will take place in the weeks and months to come. So...in my hotel room, after the SI's had told me how valuable my coming to France had been, and how pleased they were (I was crestfallen because of not being able to get at the castle right then and there) I wrote you and told you mission accomplished in Paris, according to the SI's, anyway. Being wiser by now...and having learned the ropes of going to Europe and coping...(necessary for future travels!) I got us onto a jumbo jet and we flew back to New York, thence by bus home. And we all collapsed! We've been absolutely worn out...only until today did I have the energy to go up stairs and write this report for you. Before closing the book on the Paris trip...I will tell you one of the funniest things that happened there. Any time we'd go into a restaurant to eat, Teddy would scream and kick and cut up. Now, Paris people eat quietly...and do not like being disturbed! It isn't like here in the U.S. A couple of times when we went back to a restaurant, they'd look at Teddy and wouldn't let us in. Well, this one day we went to a restaurant and I told them all, look, fellas...this time sit quietly. Beau, don't play with Teddy. Artha, watch Beau and Teddy and keep them quiet, now. === **Page: 7 of 7** And they did, indeed, all three sit there, nice and quiet. I thought, wonderful...and ordered the meal from the waiter, who was fixing us up with a stern, anti-American gaze (as they all did). He brought the water to the table all around, prepared the napkins and plates...and I had to go downstairs for a minute, so told Martha to watch it...and went downstairs. Just then I heard a tremendous crashing noise and thought, oh, no! I rushed upstairs...and Teddy had kicked the entire table over! Glasses of water, silver, napkins...all over the floor. This, in a spotless, stern, no-nonsense French restaurant. The waiter was Barndoor purple with rage...and jabbered wildly in French at the woman owner of the place. He jumped up and down, waving his arms. She went over and argued with him for about ten minutes. All during this time the French people in the place were watching these uncouth American tourists with raised eyebrows, and shrugging their shoulders at each other as if to say, "Well, Americans...what else?" It was so funny, really...sort of like a Marx Brothers comedy. Anyway, the woman owner finally got the waiter under control and he got things put back and we finished. When we got back and I found your letter...that you intend to help me continue...then I understood what the SI's meant when they told me the Paris trip had been a "trial run". Maybe if I am able to continue soon enough...before the "French Miracle" Demonstrations are to take place...the SI's will not be so rough on the poor French. Oh, yes... I told Madame Kitty I would make it rain on Paris (on a bright, sunny day. Also, I worked on the sky with IK from Maria's and Byron's penthouse apartment (same bright and sunny day) and told them that within days Paris would have a rainstorm. Several days later it clouded over and poured rain down on Paris! A very nice little demonstration, if I do say so myself. Madame Kitty had begged me not to do it, but I had to show her, and the Janie's, that I could. Now...as soon as your new help comes...I'll get some security here for the family (have a man have just found who can watch over them) and will fly back to Paris, take a train to Limoges, will hire an interpreter and rent a car...then will drive down to the castle and make arrangements to stay there for a five-day period from midnight until 5 AM, to give the SI's their approach to me that they want. Then will take the train, or fly, to London; will hire a guide...someone who knows where everything is...rent a car...they have picked out. A dandy. The SI's have already designated the site. Then will fly to Germany; hire an interpreter...search out a castle...and repeat the process. Once this chore is down for the SI's...will give lectures in all the major European cities, by interpreter, re the SI's...which, as you recall, the SI's want. Then will fly to Australia and do that, too...lecture...the SI's want this, because for some reason Australia is important to them. Finally, will return home. Unless they want me to do Mexico City. I will keep a day to day diary on all the above, when I do it...to fill my book! (And when I return, the SI's will have further modify my brain, they tell me...I will be a different person.) You'll have some very fine photos soon, my friend...including one of Maria and the picture she painted alongside my book! Best...

According to my Doctor, my cancer of the pancreas is under complete control, thanks to your diet. Here is how I work with my diet: I pray to God thanking him to let the people in outer space help me in keeping the diet charged, I follow my Doctors orders and think good things of others. Now for a question. How would or could I tell if the people of outer space make contact with me? Recently I have been seeing a golden light like lightning, while this is appearing it is multi color with the gold and constantly moving within its self. Like this drawing: [Drawing of wavy line] seems to be moving with While this is happening I have no sense of anything except seeing this jagged lightning like light. Can you explain this? Mrs. Howard did not make it. Her cancer was too far advanced by the time she received her diet. Did you notice my new address from 1215 So. Oakes to 2805 N. Mc Carver? I am enclosing $5.00 to help you to keep up the good things you are doing.

Text Any textual data included in the document === **Page: 1 of 2** FROM THE DESK OF Mr. Ted Owens (PK MAN) August 5, 1974 Box 32 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 Mr. Clarence Kelly, Director, FBI Thanks to you and your agency, I can assume at present that I am in deadly danger. Some months ago...I wrote to you in confidence, re a man in Florida...who had advised me to buy a long-barreled .22 which uses hollow point bullets...and to fill up the hollow points with cyanide. I wrote you during the time when the SLA was gunning down people in California with .22 bullets filled with cyanide, just in the long-shot there might be some tieup and it might help you catch the killers. What happened? My family and I went to France for a few weeks...and when we returned I found the following note on my front door: "Sorry to have missed you -- I have been very much behind in all my work etc - will write you in a month - Andy and all send regards." Signed. His note is appended hereto. Now, I had never seen this man...he had only written me for years. That he was deadly, or had deadly knowledge...was rather obvious. Now suddenly, after my warning to you in confidence...he comes all the way up here out of Florida to my house. But...there is more. Last week a colored man, mean-looking man, came to our front door...said he was from Florida... waved an envelope at me and wanted to come into the house and talk. I sent him away. Several days later my boy, Beau, and I found we were being followed by a car with Florida license plates...wherever we drove...and Beau said the two men "scared him". They were swarthy-skinned; looked Cuban or Latin; and were two of the toughest looking specimens I've seen in a long time. === **Page: 2 of 2** 2 Finally, last Saturday, 8/3/74, at 10:45 PM, my phone rang. I picked it up and long distance operator asked if I would take along distance call collect from "The Men In Black". Before I could even answer a man's voice came on the line and he said, "Mr. Owens, the U.S. Government is getting ready to rub you out..." and hung up before I could even answer. The line went dead. Some minutes later the phone rang again...and this time I turned on my tape recorder, and clipped an amplifier onto my phone so that it would record. It was the long distance operator. She said, "Because your party called collect, and because the message he gave was so unusual... am going to give you his number..." and she gave me a phone number in Florida. I immediately called the number. It rang about 14 times and finally the voice of a young woman answered. I asked what her name was. She stalled. Then the man's voice, same voice, came on...and he said that the U.S. Government was getting ready to "chop my brains out". And he was obviously angry...because I had managed to get his phone number. I tried to get his name three times, but he wouldn't give it...so I hung up on him in sheer disgust. The phone number is area 904-737-2959. And...Mr. Kelly...I have his murder threat on my tape recorder, live, along with the long distance operator's message to me. So don't let anybody tell me that I am "imagining things". I taped it on my tape recorder! But the whole thing is...your FBI must have broken confidence with me, or the "deadly man" would never have come all the way up here from Florida. I say "deadly" because just once in his letters he instructed me on how to gun fight, using cyanide bullets. All the rest of his correspondence over the years was most intelligent...I would say he has a superior mind... and he was most kind to me. However, if there was a tie-up between him and the SLA...I wanted you to know it, to save some lives. Matter of values in the human race. Well...as the phone call Saturday night specified...my life now seems to be in danger, as well as that of my family, possibly.

THOSE PEOPLE ARE NOT LAUGHING NOW! July 29, 1974 TO MY SCIENTIST-OBSERVERS Perhaps you had quite a chuckle, a year or so ago, when I informed you that the SI's...UFO entities that I work for and with...were going to create a world-drought as one, big, definitive experiment...and then let their human representative, myself, PK Man, call the shots...i.e., name each area, each drought-stricken area, to get relief...over the globe (and in the U.S.)...thus proving once and for all that I am indeed the SI's single human link with the human race, and that they have the powers to do such a thing. Attached is a newsclip from this morning's newspaper...indicating the "merciless, searing" drought prevalent in the U.S. today. I do not think...anyone is laughing now, at what I said some time ago. If they are, they are idiots, and you can quote me on that. Texas...will be especially punished...for its treatment of me not long ago (re the radio station and its backers; unfortunately, that is the way the SI's work...they expect me to be well-received and well-treated AS THEIR OWN REPRESENTATIVE (much like a U.S. ambassador would be treated abroad) when I travel about. If I am tricked and/or badly treated, then God help that geographical area, state or country. (Disc-people need have no worries.) France...will be especially demonstrated upon (rather than punished) with white-hot drought combined with violent storms, lightning attacks, hurricane approaches, powerful winds, power blackouts, etc....not by the SI's (who are chewing up Texas) but by myself, to demonstrate what I can do "with half a brain"...the SI half.

CHAPTER 24 Ted Owens: The PK Man "... President Nixon will not end in office. Something most unusual will occur, and he will either resign or be forced out of office." This prediction by Ted Owens was made in 1970 for our 1971 compilation of predictions. While we have not yet seen it come to pass, few people would have predicted such a possibility three years ago. An amazing man with genius level I.Q., Ted Owens stands alone in his claims that he receives his predictions from the Sis; Space Intelligences. Whoever is providing predictions to Owens is often incredibly accurate in an unusual way. While he seems to be a prophet of doom and gloom, Owens has compiled an impressive record for accuracy. According to Owens, he first came into contact with his extraterrestrial prophets one evening in 1965 when he was living in Fort Worth, Texas. He and his daughter were driving in the country when a cigar-shaped UFO suddenly appeared over a field and floated toward their car. There was no noise from the craft, but blue, red, white, and green lights flickered vividly from inside the UFO. There was no dramatic contact with space-suited aliens landing to talk with Owens and his daughter. "From that day on my life changed radically," Owens reported. "Space Intelligence does the planning and the executing. I am just their middle man, their go-between, and their front. Their purpose in doing certain things is to make the authorities listen, but first they have to prove their existence to the skeptics." Owens points out that he has never met the Sis face to face. He has not been given an outer space tour of another planet. He claims he has mental contact with the Sis, who use his brain as a receiving station for their telepathic messages. It is his contention that he can talk with them on his Note: See @ INTRODUCTION Welcome To The World of Tomorrow—1974! "There will be a military takeover of the US government!" "A submarine and a UFO will collide off the Aleutian Islands. Some of the survivors will not be of this planet!" "John Connally will be the last president of the nation." "Atlantis will start to rise in 1974." These are just a sampling of the startling predictions for the future contained in this unique glimpse of 1974. Our forecast for next year—and beyond—has been envisioned by the nation's leading psychics, tarot card readers, clairvoyants, ESP practitioners, and astrologers. While our prognosticators do not always agree about the course of future events, we can enjoy their predictions, utilize their advice, and keep score in 1974. If an occasional prediction appears to be old news, it isn't a psychic's error. These predictions were made with a deadline of June 8, 1973. This means that the psychics were asked to predict up to eighteen months into the future. "Some of these predictions will come true before your book goes on sale," cautioned a contributor. "In today's fast-paced world, a psychic can receive impressions concerning a future event, then not have time to have it documented before the event has occurred." 156 Annen Smith's "Predictions For 1974" (Award Books) to rate the seers who appeared in last year's compilation, but since there are still several months left in the year, such an undertaking would be folly.

"The leadership of America will be in good hands," Nixon said. Nixon, his face grim but his voice steady, said he is stepping aside in the national interest. His base of support in Congress, he said, has eroded to the point at which he would not have backing for the crucial decisions that con- front the president. Nixon was to disclose his deci- sion to an expectant nation six years to the day after he re- ceived the Republican nomina- tion for President at the GOP National Convention in Miami Beach, Fla., on Aug. 8, 1968. In the 185-year history of the Republic, eight presidents died in office, but none resigned. A White House source said Kis- singer was instrumental in per- suading Nixon that the nation would be best serv- ved almost three dec- ades in public life as representa- tive, senator, vice president, citizen campaigner, and ulti- mately, 37th president of the United States. It was the first time in the 185-year chain of presidents that a chief executive resigned his of- fice. And it was the first time that the office would be filled under the presidential succession de- creed by the 25th Amendment, ratified in 1967.

Then the rain stopped, and for well over a month now, the sun has risen like a bright brass gong in a white sky. While days, then weeks passed without rain, the sun parched the soil and left corn stalks brittle, stunted and dead. From the Dakotas southward to Texas, from Kansas east to parts of Ohio, the most baleful weather in a generation is raising the specter of economic disaster for Midwest farmers and the businessmen who depend on them. The big drought is daily diminishing what had been estimated would be a bumper yield of corn, soybeans and other feed grains. Crops of spring wheat, oats and barley are also being reduced. "It's the worst since 1934," says Nebraska Farmer Harold Buethe. Adds Gary Luth of Illinois: "Last year my soybeans were waist- to chest-high by this time. Now they're only ankle- to knee-high." Unless there is a break in the malicious weather this week, the corn crop could be devastated; soybean plantings will begin to burn up within weeks. Even if the rains come soon, this fall's harvest is now all but certain to drop well below amounts needed to restrain inflationary food prices. Says Jim Tippett, an official of the Illinois Farm Bureau: "We need hot, sticky weather now, with plenty of rain, the kind of weather that makes people suffer." Last week some rain fell in the Midwest, but officials said it was not enough to end the drought. Shrinking income. In part because of the drought, Agriculture Department forecasts for the corn crop have been revised downward, from 6.7 billion bu. in May to 5.9 billion bu. two weeks ago. Since then, conditions have grown worse, and by last week the National Corn Growers Association was predicting that the corn harvest would drop "significantly below" 5.5 billion bu. v. 5.6 billion last year. In Nebraska, the state with the biggest crop damage, "dry land" farmers (those without irrigation) reckon that they have already lost 75% of the 235 million bu. of corn they expected. Many farmers are holding tight to whatever grain they have, and a lack of feed for Nebraska's record 7.5 million head of cattle is hurting ranchers. In all, Nebraska's farm income could shrink by $2 billion this year. Losses for Iowa and Kansas are conservatively estimated at $3 billion. Dry weather is also punishing Illinois, where the soybean crop will probably fall 20% below earlier expectations. Farmers in Oklahoma are getting only three cuttings of hay instead of five, and the spring-wheat yield in North Dakota is expected to be sharply reduced. The Governors of Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota have declared their states disaster areas. At the Midwest Governors Conference last week in Minneapolis, a resolution was adopted urging the Administration to expand farm disaster relief and increase crop price-support programs, which only last year were reduced in order to boost production. The drought could be ruinous. For example, Kenneth Grove, who invested heavily in weed killers and fertilizers to work his 220 acres in Tecumseh, Neb., has given up on part of his crop and is now mowing it to feed his 80-head dairy herd. On the other hand, many large and middle-size farmers, who earned the bulk of the $32 billion in agricultural income last year, have enough financial protection to tide them over. Indeed, many big wheat farmers, who brought in their winter harvest before the drought struck, stand to make a bundle because they are holding back an unusually large proportion of their crop until prices are forced up still higher. Worst off are the cattle raisers, who overproduced in recent years in hopes of making plump DROUGHT AREA DRIED-OUT KANSAS FARM LAND Multibillion disaster. 68 TIME, AUGUST 12, 1974 === **Page: 6 of 15** Nebraska farmer with stunted corn: 'First it's too wet, then it's too dry' A '30s dust-bowl scene: New drought... 2 The Dust Bowl of '74 The First Christian Church of tiny Sheldon, Iowa, was jammed-but not for the usual reasons. Seven hundred farmers and townsfolk had gathered to pray for rain. Not a drop had fallen since early June, and the fields of northwestern Iowa were baked hard, scarred with ugly zigzag cracks. The corn was stunted, the soybean plants seared yellow. Hope for a bountiful harvest had long since disappeared. Without a lot of rain-and soon-there might not be any harvest at all. Sheldon's prayers were answered last week when half an inch of rain fell-but it simply wasn't enough. And so the Rev. Nicholas Vogelzang is planning a second pray-in for rain. Sheldon is not alone in its plight. A blistering drought is baking the vast plains and prairies of the Midwest and West, parching the land unmercifully during what should be the prime growing season. To many farmers, it brings back frightening memories of the 1930s when the ravaging dust bowl cost hundreds of thousands their land, their farms and their futures. Even though rain came to sections of the Midwest late last week, it didn't do much good. Long-range weather forecasts are not promising, and it is already probably too late to save billions of dollars' worth of corn, soybeans and wheat. So far, a full 75 per cent of Nebraska's non-irrigated corn has been damaged beyond recovery, and the state's hay crop is expected to be a mere 30 to 40 per cent of normal. Nebraska Gov. J.J. Exon, citing crop losses totaling more than $2.2 billion, has declared his state a disaster area. Iowa's corn crop is expected to be as much as 40 per cent smaller than last year's 1.2 billion bushels; in some especially hard-hit areas, the harvest may be down a disastrous 70 per cent, while soybean yield has fallen more than 40 per cent. In North Dakota, some counties estimate their wheat harvest could be as bad as a third of normal. "Unless the soybean and corn fields get some rain soon," warns commodity expert Robert Raclin, "we could have the first crop disaster in our history." For consumers, the drought will mean higher food prices-perhaps drastic increases in the cost of meat and poultry. What's more, the Nixon Administration's hope for cutting the inflation rate rests heavily on the lower food prices that a bumper harvest would bring. Now, that prospect seems increasingly unrealistic. "When the President talked about big crops to ease inflation, it was a lot of baloney," Raclin says bluntly. Jump: Indeed, prices are already turning up. The Agriculture Department reported last week that prices of raw farm products jumped 6 per cent between June 15 and July 15 after four months of decline. Sharp increases in farmers' expenses for fuel, fertilizer and other overhead account for part of the rise, but the trend also reflects the first impact of the devastating weather that has plagued this year's crops. An unusually wet spring delayed planting of corn and soybeans. Many planted fields were washed out and had to be seeded twice, some three times. But the wet spring was followed by a scorchingly dry summer. There has been virtually no rain since June in much of the Midwest Farm Belt and the prairies. Omaha recently had fifteen days in a row of over-100-degree heat; the first seven months of this year probably will turn out to be the third driest in the 104 years weather records have been kept in Nebraska-drier even than 1936, the worst Depression drought year. What rain there has been has done little good. It has either been light and scattered or torrential and brief-too brief to do more than run off the hard-baked ground and evaporate. "It's so dry you can start a fire just from a car or truck muffler," says Harold G. Gallaher of Kansas State University's extension service. In Kansas last week, rural fire districts reported a record 30 pasture-land fires. South Dakota, too, is experiencing an unusual number of prairie fires. "First it's too wet, then it's too dry," grouses J. Orin Taylor, who farms TURN FOR THE WORSE Devastating weather is ruining crops, help-ing to push farm prices up once more. PER CENT CHANGE FARM PRICES 1973 1974 Source: Economic Indicators, June 1974 Newsweek 56 === **Page: 7 of 15** Virginian-Pilot, Sunday, August 4, 1974 Sun-Scorched Midwest Gets Only a Dribble of Relief KANSAS CITY (AP) - Scattered showers and some heavy rains fell on the parched crops of the Midwest in the last few days, but most weather and agricultural experts say they have not brought substantial relief from the drought. Not many of the rains measured more than half an inch, and most of the showers left barely more than a trace of moisture. From West Texas across southeastern Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana, many sections have had little more than an inch of rain since early June. "This is truly a disaster," Iowa Gov. Robert Ray said on a tour Friday from Council Bluffs to Atlantic and Hastings in southwestern Iowa. Keith Bruce and his son David took Ray into a cornfield on their farm near Hastings and showed him stalks on which no ears had formed. The Bruces grow 1,700 acres of corn, feed it all to the cattle they fatten for market, and even in normal years buy additional feed. Normally they would have 4,-000 to 5,000 head of cattle, but because of the drought they have cut back to 2,500 and are not replacing the ones they sell off. "This has such an adverse ef- feet on many things - livestock, main street, the consumer, the world food picture - all are hurt by this," Ray said. Iowa's secretary of agriculture, Robert Lounsberry, estimated that the income of Iowa farmers has been cut $1.6 billion from reasonable expectations earlier in the year. The area which Ray toured is expected to lose 70 per cent of its corn production. Iowa did have some rains during the week, up to 1½ inches in a few areas. But there were only traces in the areas which needed it most. A survey made at the request of Gov. J. James Exon, based on conditions at the end of July, showed that Nebraska's farmers have lost $2.2 billion to the drought. Paul Sindt, executive director in Nebraska for the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service and head of the governor's drought-disaster committee, estimated that 85 per cent of the corn grown on nonirrigated land, 67 per cent of the sorghum grains grown on nonirrigated land, and 51 per cent of all soybeans have been lost. Even in irrigated fields, crops will be off 15 to 16 per cent because there hasn't been enough water. Nebraska has had a few scattered showers in the 24 hours ended at 7 a.m. Saturday, but reporting stations in the big-crop farm areas had little more than one-tenth of an inch or none at all. There was no rain across Kansas, although the state has had some light and scattered showers in the last few days. Frank Mosier, executive director of Kansas' Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, said: "We need 2 to 3 inches of gentle, soaking rain . . . when it sets in for two or three days." Kansas has written off most of its corn not raised on irrigated land, particularly in the eastern third of the state. Soybeans have been putting on few pods. Grain sorghums are stunted and their heads have been filling out with few kernels, if they have headed. Good rains in another 10 days would save some of the beans and sorghums. One thing that has helped a little is a mass of cool air which surged down over the farm belt during the week. Many areas marked all-time lows for an Aug. 3. "It will help us hold on a little longer," Dallas Pickett said from his 450-acre grain-and-livestock farm at Stewartsville in northwest Missouri. The state offices of the federal government's Livestock and Crop Reporting Service will be making reports Monday afternoon on their weekly survey of crop and pasture conditions. They are couched in general terms about the condition of crops and pastures, as of the previous Saturday, and give an estimate on the adequacy of soil moisture. As of Aug. 1, the field offices made crop surveys which will result in the first bushel estimates on fall crops. Washington will announce them Aug. 12. Many areas in Missouri report- === **Page: 8 of 15** TRIBUNE JULY 29, 1974 Drouth scorching American midlands By David Smothers A MERCILESS, searing drouth is drying up the midlands and it is prob-ably too late to save billions of dollars in crops and livestock. If rain, and lots of it, does not come soon, the situation can only get a great deal worse, state officials and experts surveyed by United Press International said. The drouth of 1974 probably will mean climbing prices at the supermarkets. Administration hopes for bumper crops which could drive down prices and still keep farmers happy seem sure to be disappointed in some of the nation's richest farm and ranch country. In Nebraska, there is talk that this drouth could be worse than the disaster years of the 1930s. Meteorologists have speculated the summer's sizzling dry spell might be the start of such a drouth cycle. APPEALS FOR federal aid in the form of easier farm loans and higher prices are going out from state capitals. E. L. Short, a rancher and representa-tive in the Texas legislature, said, "Without relief and an incentive for the farmers and ranchers to stay in busi-ness and keep the supply and demand partially balanced, we have yet to see what higher prices are really about." Already, Gov. J. James Exon of Ne-braska has declared that state a drouth disaster area. There is frightening talk of almost a zero corn crop in some areas. GOV. BRUCE KING has declared a state of emergency in New Mexico, where the U. S. Department of Agricul-ture says range land is in the worst condition since it began keeping records in 1922. In the corn belt, many farmers have despaired of bringing in a decent crop and are chopping up their corn for silage except in some areas there is not much corn to chop. In Weston County, Wyo., the hay crop is almost a complete loss and of-ficials say ranchers have sold off 30 per cent of their livestock because they don't have enough money to make it thru the winter otherwise. The county has been declared a disaster area. HUNDREDS OF persons prayed for rain at the First Christian Reform Church in the rich farm town of Shel- don, Ia., where the minister said there has been no rain to speak of in 8 to 12 weeks. Iowa is the nation's second state in popcorn production and it's likely 25 per cent of the state's popcorn crop may be lost. Look for higher popcorn prices. Anthrax, a disease which comes with drouth, is killing cattle from Texas to the Dakotas. Crop-killing insect infesta-tions have been reported at the same points. Conditions are approaching the crit-ical stage as far east as Ohio. STATE OFFICIALS are glum in cal-culating the costs so far and those to come. Texas Agriculture Commissioner John C. White said drouth damage there to crops alone comes to at least $2 bil-lion. Winter wheat production is the lowest in seven years, he said, and, "even if the rains came today, it would be too late for much of the cotton, grain, sorghum, and other row crops." Nebraska's Exon said his estimate of a $1 billion loss is probably conserva-tive "because the situation is deteriorat-ing so rapidly." Feed shortages have become so serious that Exon ordered hay growing along highway rights of way to be cut and sold at auction. The loss in Kansas was estimated at about $1 billion. Dryland wheat in New Mexico is dead. Some Texas ranchers are selling off all their herds because of high feed costs and dry range condi-tions. IN CENTRAL Illinois, agricultural ex-perts look for a 50 per cent cut in crop yields on some farms. Altho the drouth is concentrated in the plains, it is feared the corn and soybean crop in northwest Ohio could be slashed by half if rain does not come. The Cleveland crop reporting service of Murch and Co. advised last week, "It is a disaster area in the [corn] belt." The cause is simple. It was a wet spring in the midlands. That delayed planting and held down the acreage which could be planted. Then there was no water. Last week, there had been no rain of consequence in Kansas, aside from a July 3 downpour, since June 12. It was much the same elsewhere from the southwest plains well into the Missis-sippi Valley. === **Page: 9 of 15** /a. Pilot 7/31/74 pert Horrified' by Drought CAPOLIS, Minn.

Kenneth Rush, President Nixon's chief economic adviser, said the drought also will mean higher prices at the supermarkets. "Food prices will be somewhat higher," he said. "It will not be as good as we had hoped and expected." Administration officials had hoped for bumper crops which could drive down prices. Gov. Richard Kneip of South Dakota and Gov. John J. Gilligan of Ohio asked the federal government to declare portions of their states disaster areas because of drought conditions. Kneip said crop losses are total in some areas and extremely high in other portions of South Dakota. Gilligan said the drought already has destroyed one-third of his state's corn and soybean crop and expressed concern for the farmers. On Thursday, Iowa Gov. Robert D. Ray asked Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz to declare Iowa a disaster area so farmers hit by the drought could seek federal assistance. The state damage estimate, presently at $1.6 billion, will go higher, Ray predicted. The drought picture across the country: Illinois: Corn crop cut an estimated half a billion bushels; state's crop production down by 25 to 30 per cent. Indiana: Agriculture experts say state already has lost millions of dollars and if rain came now it could be "too late". Kansas: State's dry land corn has matured to the point that rain now cannot help it. Farmers predict a $1-billion loss. Many have applied for disaster relief payments. Missouri: The agriculture commissioner is conducting a statewide survey to determine the extent of the drought. As of now, he said, the farmers are in bad shape. Nebraska: Damage estimate is $1 billion. One of the first states to seek emergency funds from the federal government. New Mexico: Gov. Bruce King has declared a state of emergency. Rangeland is in the worst condition since 1922. Oklahoma: The drought and the cattle-killing disease anthrax has forced farmers to market in hopes of getting what they can - even if it means a loss. Texas: A $2-billion loss because of the drought. Wyoming: The hay crop in portions of Wyoming is almost completely lost, and ranchers in some counties have sold 30 per cent of their livestock. Va. Pilot 8/2/74 Not Enough Water On the Dave Marple farm south of Topeka, Kan., the milo that was planted over a month ago either has not sprouted or is stunted. If rain fell on this milo crop, Marple could harvest 70 bushels per acre, but the problem is that not enough water is coming down. (AP) Drought Visions of a Dust Bowl Grow Daily Va. Pilot 8/4/74 MCLOUTH, Kan. (UPI) - John Bower sat sweating atop his creaky, rust-red 1945 tractor and gazed at 80 acres of corn stalks scorched to a sickening orange-yellow from the worst drought in 20 years. "This isn't as bad as the dust bowl days in the 30s," the craggy-faced farmer said, climbing down from the tractor. "At least, it isn't yet. But if we don't get rain in the next 30 days, it will be as bad, if not worse." The tall, soft-spoken farmer wore traditional blue-gray dungarees with a matching hat. His leathery skin was brown from 35 years of working his land. He walked grimly toward a scene that is now a common and disquieting sight in eastern Kansas. Thousands of rows of corn stalks, scorched to death by extreme heat and dry winds, are good only for livestock feed that will bring a few dollars per acre. Bower's 200-acre farm, his home and livelihood since 1939, is tucked among the rolling northeast Kansas hills known for their rich soil and high moisture content. As in most areas of the corn belt, only a few raindrops have pitted the light brown dust since July 3, the only day of significant rain since early June. Bower admitted that he and his neighbors were "spoiled" last year with a good crop and high prices. But most of the financial gains enjoyed last year already have been wiped out by the drought. "Farmers are always in debt to someone," Bower said, shuffling out of his field on a wooden leg caused by a tractor accident several years ago. "For the first time last year, I was able to pay off all my notes at the bank. But this will put me right back where I was before." Bower waved at other fields holding about 100 acres of soybeans and milo - his only hope left for a break-even year. Those crops develop late in the season, he said, and he planted them as a precaution in case of drought. Rain in the next two weeks would save those crops. Despite the drought that most state officials are now calling a disaster, Bower said he and his farming neighbors aren't ready to quit farming yet. "Most of them have outside jobs," he said. "So they can keep going. But I'm 62 years old, and nobody wants someone my age. I'm too old to do much else than farming." === **Page: 11 of 15** 2 Drought for A12 Virginian-Pilot, Wednesday, August 7, 1974 Rainfall Touches Midlands By United Press International Gentle rain - the first in 33 days - touched the drought-suffering midlands Tuesday offering hope that at least some crops may be salvaged. Agricultural experts said the rain was too late to save most corn crops, but hoped that it may be just enough to preserve soybean and milo crops, giving farmers a chance at least to break even financially. Fred Osby of the National Weather Service said the rain was "gentle, the kind needed to gradually soak into the ground without much runoff." Areas touched by rain Tuesday included Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, and Missouri. Kansas and Texas each has reported a $28-billion crop loss so far, and Nebraska $2.2 billion. Other states reporting multimillion or billion-dollar losses include Missouri, North and South Dakota, Oklahoma, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Ohio, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Wyoming. As the rain fell, officials studied ways to aid farmers and ranchers - suffering through the worst drought since the dust bowl days of the 1930s. Rep. William Scherle, R-Iowa, said if the drought continued Congress would have to pass emergency legislation to provide help to farmers in the form of disaster loans. "Certainly these steps would be mandatory to forestall a catastrophic depression which would wrench our nation," Scherle said. Weather modification as an aid to ending the drought will be discussed Friday in a U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee hearing in Lawton, Okla. "Anyone who is interested in finding ways to prevent or reduce the impact of a drought is invited to attend this hearing," said Sen. Henry Bellmon, R-Okla., who is conducting the session. Oklahoma Gov. David Hall, saying farmers have been "wiped out by this drought," asked that portions of his state be declared disaster areas. === **Page: 12 of 15** # Drought Chokes Hope for Good U.S. Harvest By DAVID SMOTHERS United Press International A merciless, searing drought is drying up the midlands and officials say it is probably too late to save billions of dollars in crops and livestock. If rain, and lots of it, does not come soon, the situation can only get a great deal worse, state officials and experts report in a survey by United Press International. The drought probably will mean climbing prices at the supermarkets. Administration hopes for bumper crops, which could drive down prices and still keep farmers happy, seem sure to be disappointed in some of the nation's richest farm and ranch country. In Nebraska, there is talk that this drought could be worse than the disaster years of the 1930s. Meteorologists have speculated the summer's sizzling dry spell might be the start of a drought cycle such as Nebraska suffered in the 30s. Appeals for federal aid in the form of easier farm loans and higher prices are going out from state capitols. E. L. Short, a rancher and representative in the Texas legislature, said: "Without relief and an incentive for the farmers and ranchers to stay in business and keep the supply and demand partially balanced, we have yet to see what higher prices are really about." Already, Gov. J. James Exon of Nebraska has declared that state a drought disaster area. There is frightened talk of almost a zero corn crop in some areas. Gov. Bruce King has declared a state of emergency in New Mexico, where the U. S. Department of Agriculture says rangeland is in the worst condition since it began keeping records in 1922. In the corn belt, many farmers have despaired of bringing in a decent crop and are chopping corn for silage, except that in some areas there is not much corn to chop. In Weston County, Wyo., the hay crop is almost a complete loss and officials say that ranchers have sold off 30 per cent of their livestock because they won't have enough money to make it through the winter otherwise. The county has been declared a disaster area. John Regier, a Weatherford, Okla., cattleman, said, "Hay crops are drying up. Pasture is drying up. If it keeps going then cattle will have to start going down." Without rain in two weeks, he said, he will begin sell- Hundreds of people prayed for rain at the First Christian Reform Church in the rich farm town of Sheldon, Iowa, where the minister said there has been no rain to speak of in eight to 12 weeks. Iowa is the nation's second-state in popcorn production and it looks like up to 25 per cent of the state's popcorn crop may be lost. Look for higher popcorn prices. Anthrax, a disease which comes with drought, is killing cattle from Texas to the Dakotas. Crop-killing insect infestations have been reported in the same areas. Conditions are approaching the critical stage as far east as Ohio. State officials are glum in calcu- lating the costs so far and those to come. (Texas Agriculture Commissioner John C. White said alone comes to at least $2 billion, and, "even as the rains came today, it would be too late for much of the cotton, grain, sorghum, and other row crops.") Nebraska's Exon said his estimate of a $1-billion loss is probably conservative "because the situation is deteriorating so rapidly." Feed shortages have reached the point that Exon ordered hay growing along high- way rights-of-way to be cut and sold at auction. === **Page: 13 of 15** Virginian Pilot, Thursday, August 1, 1974 B15 Ear Trouble Jim Kuehl breaks open an ear of corn show- corn crop and has begun to chop the corn for ing how little the corn has matured in the silage.

The smelly four-day-old carcass of a donkey rots in the sun near the camp's main waterhole, and children-their bellies bulging from untreated parasites-play nearby. "There is almost no malnutrition here," says a complaisant Red Cross worker. But just then several mothers pass by carrying babies with yellowish hair and skin like papier mâché. They are suffering from marasmus-progressive emaciation. At a camp in Dessie, Ethiopia, 6,000 barefoot peasants huddle together for warmth as they wait for food. Some are half naked; others cling to rags so filthy that they are alive with flies and lice. Many of the children show signs of pneumonia and tuberculosis, and much of the camp is afflicted with crippling diarrhea. To while away the time, the children make long whips out of hemp and then lash each other in cruel delight. In camps across north-central Africa, 1.5 million men, women and children are leading a brink-of-death existence. They are refugees from the great drought that has scourged sixteen African nations for several years (map, page 59). At best the camps provide the barest food and But the Africans who inhabit the camps are, in a way, the lucky ones. Another million Africans have already died of hunger and disease. Five to 10 million more are starving in the African bush or the slums of drought-area towns. The African drought is one of the great catastrophes of the twentieth century. And the response of the world community and the African governments themselves has, in many ways, only compounded the tragedy. The drought began in the Sahel-an arid savanna that stretches across six nations on the southern fringe of the Sahara desert. The natives of the Sahel are among the world's poorest people-ragged, cattle-raising nomads and subsistence farmers. When the region's meager rainfall failed in 1968-the result of a change in the global weather pattern-25 million Africans were soon hard pressed for a living. As the brutal dry spell continued and desperate nomads cut down trees and shrubs to feed their starving cattle, the Sahara itself moved southward at a rate of 30 miles a year. Eventually the drought spread east into and watersheds of north central Africa are dusty, rocky beds. Even Lake Chad, one of Africa's principal bodies of water, has been reduced to a sea of mud and small ponds. The reaction to the drought is an unedifying tale of official incompetence and inactivity. As herds died, hungry Africans by the hundreds of thousands began to drift to the edges of towns and cities. But the pride-or terror-of the governments concerned kept them from admitting the scope of the problem or sounding a timely alarm. This was particularly true in Ethiopia, where local officials long ago reported to the Cabinet that a northern famine had begun. When frantic men, women and children fleeing drought-stricken Wollo province appeared near Addis Ababa, authorities locked them up and left them to starve. A military coup has since overthrown the government of Ethiopia, and an investigation of this official indifference to the famine is under way. Hushed Up: To make matters worse, the vaunted "early warning system" of the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) first began reporting crop failures and food shortages in the Sahel in September 1972-years after they began. Though by then the situation was critical, it was a full eight months before FAO Director-General A.H. Boerma set the provinces of northern Ethiopia. "We have eaten more sand this year than in our thirteen years here," one European missionary in Western Niger told me. "There is not enough vegetation to hold back the desert."

In the case thiopia, fear of offending Emperor Selassie even led U.N. officials to up field reports that drought and ager were affecting millions. Not until last autumn did the FAO d experts from major industrial states survey the African drought region to determine the needs of each nation. experts' figures-showing a need for near- ly a million tons of food grain-were ac- curate enough. But the FAO failed to collate the data and organize a shipping schedule for donor nations until last February. Why the delay? OSRO chief J.V.A. Nehemiah's answer was candid if startling. "It's not such a long delay if you take into account that we had to break for the Christmas holiday," he ex- plained. And U.N. coordinator in Niger Alexander Rotival lays blame at the door of the donor nations themselves. "In December and January we had almost no food coming in," he says. "Was it necessary for the donors to wait for us to finish before they started shipping?" This delay has certainly cost lives. And it has increased the relief bill by millions of dollars. In June, for instance, the U.S. began an airlift of grain from Bamako to the wasted region of Mali around Timbuktu. Early this year, when the Niger River was navigable, supplies could have been moved for about $80 per ton. But now Mali's food needs are so urgent that emergency measures have become a necessity. According to the FAO, the airlift the U.S. has organized may come to $900 a ton. And a truck convoy that European nations have dis- patched south across the Sahara from Algeria will cost more than $200 a ton. Badger: The relief effort that has been mounted is gigantic in scope. More than 120,000 tons of food a month are flowing from the U.S., Europe and Asia to the African interior. A small band of men share credit for finally getting the opera- tion off the ground. One is former U.S. Ambassador to Mali Robert Blake. The State Department has never been overly concerned with the small and nonstra- tegic nations of north-central Africa, and Blake had to badger Washington for six months to shake loose funds for Malian disaster relief. Stephen Green, an Ameri- can working for UNICEF, the U.N. chil- dren's agency, is the man responsible for first exposing the extent of starvation in northern Ethiopia. (The U.N. has since told Green, in effect, that his career as an international civil servant is probably fin- ished.) And indefatigable Trevor Page, OSRO's 33-year-old British logistics of- ficer, has managed to bully donors into line, break through bottlenecks all over Africa and personally set in motion the trans-Sahara truck convoy across Algeria. But enormous problems remain. The food en route is grossly inadequate for the Africans' needs. And many drought victims are now so weakened from lack of nourishment that they are dying of simple afflictions like diarrhea. In the Too little, too late?: A West German helicopter brings food to Ethiopia Sahara Desert DROUGHT ZONE 3,600 miles Atlantic Ocean AFRICA Famine belt: Only the strong will survive meantime, 200,000 tons of grain are stacked at the ports of West Africa waiting to be distributed. When I toured the area, some of the food had already rotted from improper warehousing. Much of the blame for this lies with the Afri- cans themselves. Recently, for example, the FAO discovered that food bound for Chad was stalled at the Nigeria- Chad border. The reason: the wife of Chad's President owns the national truck monopoly and she wanted to ferry the food into Chad on her own trucks-at twice the going freight rate. Furthermore, current relief projects deal only with short-term needs. In the view of experts, a coordinated master plan for water conservancy and land use is what north-central Africa really needs. That, of course, would be very costly. "What is required is probably $10 billion over a 25-year period," says Dr. Edward Fei, AID's regional coordinator for Africa. One partial solution would be to resettle nomadic tribes on newly developed farm- land. But that idea is bound to meet with resistance from the nomads themselves. "We would rather die than leave the desert," the son of one Tuareg chief in Niger told me. Reticent: African govern- ments are not enthusiastic about joint, long-range plan- ning either. Each is pursuing its own interest and when a master plan is suggested, offi- cials react much like Senegal's Planning Minister, Ousmane Seck. "What we are afraid of," says Seck, "is that some of the developed countries will im- pose priorities on us that only benefit their economies." Within the next few weeks, the need to solve Africa's wa- ter crisis will be dramatically highlighted by nature. The scanty rains that annually water the Sahel and neighboring regions will descend in a sudden flood. The torrent will wash out roads--and thus make the delivery of relief even harder. And ironically, if the rainy season amounts to anything this year, it may actually leave the Afri- cans worse off than a continued drought would. For the chances are that a marginal crop will emerge from an ex- tended rainfall. And then the world com- munity, which is already tiring of its $500 million African relief effort, may seize the occasion to ignore the cata- strophic drought and its victims. "What worries me," says one British relief work- er in Upper Volta, "is that this year's rain may be a bit better. Then interest in the Sahel will dim. And people will forget the African drought before any perma- nent solution has got started."

My important work for, and with, the UFO entities...is quickly getting down to the essence. For ten long years I have worked for and with the SI's, but just recently a private citizen, Millie, made it possible for me to do what the U.S. Govt. had neglected to do all along...she delivered me to Europe, where the SI's wanted me to go in person, physically...for reasons known only to the SI's. This trip, just finished, was, according to the SI's, a probe and a "feint" combined. On the trip itself, the SI's reached me and gave me a great deal of instruction with regard to further proceeding. Perhaps you would call it programming. The enclosed report on the trip to my benefactor, Millie, is self-explanatory. (It is being xeroxed, and will actually follow this letter.) As some of you know, the SI's had, years ago, told me that if I could meet with them, according to the conditions that they specified, at various geographical locations in Europe...they would instruct me, or build into my brain (further modification of my brain, which has already been modified by them in the past) various things that would help progress the human race, including information which would help the human race avert a nuclear war. Millie will shortly make it possible for me to return again to Europe...alone this time...and carry out the full and complete assignment for the SI's. It will be a lengthy trip. As the SI's have instructed me, and I have worked out by map -- first I will fly by Air France to Paris, where I will take a train to Limoges (which is south of Paris). In Limoges I will have to hire an interpreter, and rent a car. We will drive down south of Limoges to the old castle (I managed to obtain several photographs of this castle, with a special camera, and will get the photographs to you as soon as possible) where I will make arrangements to spend five nights in/at the castle, from midnight to 5 AM (to give the SI's opportunity to approach and come down to me.) Next, I will return to Paris and take a plane to London, where I will take quarters, rent a car, and hire a driver to accompany me and assist me; someone who knows the area well. The SI's have already instructed me on where to go in England, to meet with them (two different sites, actually; will spend five nights at each site.) Then will return to London, where I will rent a huge lecture hall and invite the public...to acquaint the English full and completely with the SI's and their work. (The SI's have stipulated that this must be done.) Next will fly to Scotland, rent a car, and drive to Loch Ness, where I will attempt to telepath/communicate with the "Loch Ness Monster" and try to get it to emerge from the lake. (This action based upon my brain being half-SI; the Loch Ness Monster, like the Bigfoot being, in my estimation, SI products -- will react to my telepathing to it. === **Page: 2 of 19** 2 Next will fly to Munich, Germany. Will hire an interpreter there, who will drive the car I will rent...and I will find the correct abandoned old castle and repeat the five night process. Then will return to Munich and give another lecture for the benefit of the German people, done through the interpreter. If funds allow, at this point...will fly to Rio, and repeat the entire process there (for some reason, the SI's feel strongly about Brazil.) Then will fly to Australia, and repeat the entire process there...with the exception that I will give lectures in both Sydney and Melbourne. (The SI's also insist strongly that I go to Australia.) Then I will return home. It will take much time, and energy and effort, on my part...but get it done I will, and according to the SI specifications. I know, deep down, that this entire schedule, after being completed, will benefit the human race infinitely. Changing the subject...for quite some time now...I have been using my UFO-given powers to try and improve the human race; one method has consisted on working to eliminate bad leaders of the human race...war leaders and crime leaders. Many of the top leaders in our own government are out, or going out. Juan Peron, of Argentina, expired around the first part of July. Franco, of Spain, has collapsed, is in hospital, and is on his way out. Golda Meier, of Israel, is out. Premier Caetano of Portugal was thrown out the last part of April. Archbishop Makarios, President of Cyprus, is out. Souvanna Phouma, Premier of Laos, is in the hospital as of last week and is on his way out. And there have been others that the SI's and I have removed. Also crime leaders: Magaddino, one of the very top Mafia bosses, passed away last Friday. The Joseph Colombo, Sr., Mafia "family" is being taken apart and investigated by a Federal grand jury...first time in history such a thing has been done. And so it is going...and I am working very hard at it -- using SI powers to separate "the wheat from the chaff"...the bad leaders of the world... and replace them with leaders of peace, intelligence and goodness. Also, happily I have gotten the huge SI craft positioned around this earth to get some recent rains onto Africa...which has helped a great deal there. But more will be needed; more rain there. Texas, which treated FK Man (and the SI's) badly not long ago...is being chewed up by drought and by anthrax plague. I just mention this in passing. Not my doing...but a SI "follow up" on their own. Ted (Name/FK Man) Box 32, Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 === **Page: 3 of 19** 3 On the recent trip to Paris I gave a very nice demonstration of weather control, by making it rain on Paris. With the sun shining brightly, I told Madame Kitty (who works for the wire services of Le Figaro newspaper there) that I would make it rain on Paris. Later that day, in the apartment of Gary Cooper's daughter, Maria...and her husband, Byron Janis(?)...I worked on the sky and told them how, within days, Paris would have a good drenching. Several days later the skies clouded, and it poured down rain on Paris. Enclosed also is an affidavit from a gentleman who works with nuclear reactors in Canada...confirming that I had just made it rain here in the Norfolk area, before I went to Paris. You probably wonder how I keep going...since the government is of no help and I have no scientific grants as yet. Well, George Delavan, for several years, has steadily pumped in several hundred dollars a month to keep me going. And of course, Millie has just set up the huge European project the SI's have long wanted me to get at. So both of these people must be very precious to the SI's, just as they are to me. Finally, I hope to give you a demonstration. A large one. The control of an entire country. France. As you should know from your files by now...I do not give novel PK demonstrations of bending spoons or rolling pencils around. I control radar installations with my mind; control a city with my mind; control a pro football team with my mind. Quite different altogether, my work, contrasted with other "PK" demonstrators. This demonstration I am going to give will probably last an entire year. Now, you all have my "Cleveland Miracle" file, where I caused extreme heat to strike Cleveland and buckle the sidewalks, break up swimming pools, etc. And disrupted Cleveland's power supply. I am going to do much the same thing with France (especially Paris and Toulouse). I am going to strike France with both tremendous heat and with storms (which will contain much lightning...but not to injure anyone). I will also attempt to make some hurricanes, and bring them at France (will work to produce a hurricane off the U.S. coast within two weeks of this letter, for a beginning.) And will work to cause strange EM (electromagnetic) effects to attack France...which should affect the power supply there. Am certain...that France will never have experienced anything like this before. (Note: the above might produce many storms and hurricanes around the U.S. as a sort of "side effect" in the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf. My brain has increased its power, exponentially, for quite a long while...and at this point it is much more powerful than some years ago when I accomplished the miracles written about in the Saga articles.) Ted Owens (PK Man) Box 32, Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 [Signature] === **Page: 4 of 19** TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN This past Thursday (June 20, 1974) Ted Owens (The PK Man - UFO Prophet) drove me to the Norfolk Airport, for me to catch my plane to Canada. Mr. Owens had given me personal training (SI methods) for several days, which had been my purpose in flying down from Canada. Before we entered the Airport, Mr. Owens told me that he would teach me how to make it rain...he pointed up at the sunny, clear sky...and gave me instructions on how to cause a rainstorm when I wished. I might add at this point that it had been hot, sunny and clear during my four days in Virginia...with no indication whatever of inclement weather. Within a short time after Owens had "worked on the sky" for my benefit, the sky began to make the sky pour rain, and lightning appear. I learn from the enclosed newsclip that rain and lightning appeared in the area that Owens had been "working on" to make rain and lightning appear. I swear that this is a true and accurate statement, to the best of my knowledge. Bernard Joanisse 538 Mutual Street Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1K1C6 Some Phones Out June 22, 1974 Va. Pilot Norfolk, Va. Power On, Suffolk Area Shakes Off Storm Effects - This Storm, I Made - SUFFOLK--Storm damage to electric power equipment has been restored 100 per cent and full service to customers resumed, according to a Virginia Electric & Power Co. spokesman. The chain of severe thunder-storms which swept through Suffolk Thursday night disrupted service to about 4,250 households in a wide area. Thomas B. Knox, area business manager for Vepco, said the time in which some customers were without service ranged from a few minutes to seven hours. Crews worked throughout the night restoring power, he said. Knox said the damage ranged from transformers knocked out by lightning to one complete circuit out at the Driver substation, leaving about 1,600 customers in the Driver and Bennett's Creek areas without service for a little more than seven hours. About 1,520 customers in the Chuckatuck, Hobson, Eclipse, and Crittenden areas were without service, he said, when a tree fell across a primary line at Reid's Ferry about 9 p.m. The storm also brought a heavy rainfall. The Lake Kilby pumping station reported 2.86 inches, and just a few miles further west at the Tidewater Research Center at Holland the precipitation was measured at 2.42 inches. In the Smithfield area, a utility shed near Benns Church was struck by lightning and burned. No further property damage was reported there. A spokesman for the Suffolk Fire Department said 12 calls were answered between 4:07 and 10:50 p.m. He said 10 were storm-related. W. Randolph Robinson, local Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co. manager, said 120 telephones in Suffolk were put out of order because of lightning damage to cables. "Crews worked all night," he said, "and are still on the job today making repairs." He said he hoped to have all the damaged cables repaired by late Friday night. If all customer service is not restored by that target time, the company is prepared to work through the night and into today, he said. === **Page: 5 of 19** July 20, 1974 United States North Atlantic Ocean England Germany France Spain France - Hurricanes - Power Blackouts - Effect - Storms - Drought === **Page: 6 of 19** The Cabinet NY In Portugal Times Is Moderate Left 7/21/74 Charged by President Antonio de Spinola with enforcing "social and civic discipline," Portugal's new, military-dominated Government has taken office against a background of continued unrest at home and stepped- up violence in the nation's African colonies. Heading the regime is Col. Vasco dos Santos Goncalves, the Premier. President Spinola, in introducing the new Cabinet, referred to Colonel Goncalves as "the brain" behind the April 25 coup that toppled Portugal's 50-year-old dictatorship, headed in its final days by Premier Marcello Caetano. The general tone of the Cabinet, is moderately left. Its major task will be to deal with the country's 30 per cent inflation rate and general busi- ness depression. And it will have to try to reconcile the problems in Af- rica. Seven key posts in the new govern- ment, almost half the total, went to military men. But the Communist par- ty's secretary general, Alvaro Cun- hal, will stay on as a Minister Without Portfolio; he loses control of the Labor Ministry. And the Socialist leader, Mario Soares, who has been in charge of negotiating with rebel leaders from Mozambique, Angola and Guinea-Bis- sau, remains as Foreign Minister. In Mozambique, African guerrillas last week blew up a section of the Tete railway line which links Beira, the colony's main port, with the giant Cabora Bassa Dam which the Portu- guese are rushing to completion. Since June 26, the line has been sabotaged three times, seriously delaying work on the dam. In Angola, the shooting of a white taxi driver in the capital, Luanda, two weeks ago, touched off riots that left seven people dead. Last week new demonstrations were broken up by troops and in the ensuing melee, 20 more people were reported dead. By ALVIN SHUSTER ATHENS For an island about half as big as the State of New Jersey and with a population of 640, 000, Cyprus has given the world more than enough problems over the years. Sitting south of Turkey in the eastern Mediterran- ean, it has been racked by violence between ethnic Turks and Greeks, figured prominently in domestic politics in Ankara and Athens, monopolized the at- tention of the United Nations and caused concern in the North Atlantic alliance and in Moscow. It has been a problem for so long that many Greeks and Turks outside of the island are weary of hearing about it. A Greek editor said here the other day that even in the days before censorship a Cyprus headline ensured a drop in circulation. Yet to the people of Cyprus and to the govern- ments of Greece and Turkey, among others, it is a genuine problem that arises out of a tangled and complex history spanning centuries. Peace there has always been a sometime thing and, as was the case this weekend, Greece and Turkey have come close to war over the island on several occasions. As so often in the past, the present crisis stems from the traditional desire of ethnic Greek Cypri- otes and elements in Athens for Enosis, or union with Greece. It is a cry long heard, before and after the island passed from Turkish rule to the British in 1878, during its days as a Crown colony, after 1960, when it gained its status as an inde- pendent state where ethnic Greeks outnumber the ethnic Turks by four to one. The goal, reflecting the historical insistence of Athens that it is the national center of Hellenism, underlies Ankara's fears for the safety of the ethnic Turks. It has been at the root of the com- munal violence that forced the United Nations to send in a peace-keeping force 10 years ago and turned the island into an armed camp with make- shift barriers still blocking movement between Greek and Turkish sectors. For years, Archbishop Makarios, deposed as President in Monday's coup by the Greek-led Na- tional Guard of Cyprus, led the determined cam- paign to bring about union. But it was his conver- sion to a more "realistic" policy to maintain inde- pendence and work to unite the warring communi- ties that led to his downfall. In public, union with Greece remained his ulti- mate objective. But he felt that it was no longer attainable because it would lead to war with Turkey, and that Cyprus was better off anyway as an independent sovereign state than as a province of Greece. Despite all the traditional emotions, the 60-year- old priest and statesman appeared to have con- vinced many of the Greeks in Cyprus that his course was right. The Turkish minority remained suspicious and unconvinced but talks between Greek and Turkish Cypriotes over the political structure of the country continued. To the nationalist-minded, rigidly anti-Communist military rulers now in power here those who last November toppled President George Papadopoulos the Archbishop was selling out. Moreover, they worried about his strong support from the Cypriote Communist party, his flirtations with Moscow and his highly publicized state visit to Peking in May. The plot to dislodge him unfolded and grew more urgent when the Archbishop, sensing trouble, NY Times 7/21/74 === **Page: 7 of 19** * Also... see Makarios and others NY Times 7/20/74 The World In Summary Juan Carlos, Franco's Heir, Steps In Generalissimo Francisco Franco, Spain's ruler for 35 years, is seriously ill in a Madrid clinic and has delegated his powers to Prince Juan Carlos de Borbon, the 36-year-old heir to a throne that has been vacant since 1931. In transferring power to Prince Juan Carlos, General Franco acted under a law which states that during the ab- sence or illness of the chief of state, the royal heir will assume his duties. But there was a strong feeling in the Spanish political world, already ex- cited by the recent overthrow of the dictatorship in Portugal, that a long and bitter era in Spanish history was ending. The general belief was that Franco- ism without Franco was impossible. There has long been hostility to the Franco regime, not only among the Basque and Catalonian separatist movements in the north, but also among liberal politicians and intellec- tuals. Now, like Portugal's, Spain's econ- omy is a prominent victim of the worldwide inflation and economic re- cession. In a country used to full em- ployment for years, there are already 60,000 unemployed and one estimate says the number of jobless will rise to 300,000. The result: growing social malaise. The 81-year-old General was ad- mitted to the clinic two weeks ago for treatment of phlebitis and his condi- tion had been improving. But last week his doctors said he suffered a "set- back" caused by "gastric complica- tions." It was believed that anticoagu- lants, administered to relieve blood- clots in the leg, had caused internal hemorrhaging. Later, the general's condition improved again but still gave cause for anxiety. Tomorrow Prince Juan Carlos will mark the fifth anniversary of his desig- nation as General Franco's successor carrying the title of King. The last King was Alfonso XIII, who abdicated in 1931 in favor of a republic. The prince's father, Don Juan, who dis- agreed politically with General Franco, lives in exile in Lisbon. General Fran- co's decision to bypass Don Juan in favor of his son caused bitterness within the royal family. But the Generalissimo persisted and saw to it that the young prince was educated in the traditions of Franco- ism. Up to now, his duties have been largely ceremonial but last week he began his new role by signing a joint Spanish-American declaration of de- fense principles similar to one recent- ly signed in Brussels by the United States and other North Atlantic Treaty Organization members. Left and Right in Laos, They Wait By JAMES M. MARKHAM VIENTIANE-The Chinese came last. By the time they got there, cardiologists from the United States, Thailand, France and the Soviet Union were already huddling around the bedside of Prince Souvanna Phouma, the 72-year-old Premier of Laos, who had been stricken by a heart attack. The medical prognosis for the Premier, which was still uncertain, would also be a political prognosis for Laos and for the fragile three-month-old coalition between the Communist-oriented Pathet Lao and the American-supported Vientiane side. It has been the neutralist Prince Souvanna who has held the fractious arrangement together, tacking between left and right and, more often than not, making con- cessions to the Pathet Lao that angered the right. At the moment, neither the Pathet Lao nor the right seemed eager to sunder the coalition. The last months in Laos have been truly peaceful. The only real alternative to coalition is war, which nobody wants. The symbolism of the polyglot medical team car- ing for the Premier was reassuring, too. Laos has tried coalitions twice before-in 1957 and 1962-but they shattered under the pressures of the cold war and the Vietnam war. Today, everyone wishes the coalition well; if it fails, it will not be for want of international support. === **Page: 8 of 19** 7/21/74 THE NEW YORK TIMES, Franco Said to Fight Back After Hemorrhage Alarm General Reported Walking and Taking Nourishment; Government Stresses Successful Transfer of Power By HENRY GINGER MADRID, July 20-General-it contribute to public tranquil- issimo Francisco Franco, sility, emphasized how well the ince July 9 with phlebitis, ap-constitutional provisions for peared today to be fighting temporary transfer had worked back against the effects of the and how the General had pru- internal bleeding that suddenly dently left "no loose ends" in developed yesterday morning. the process of continuity.

Argentines prayed to her photograph and some of her followers asked Pope Pius XII to canonize her. As for Perón, he kept her embalmed body in a coffin in his residence. Perón also bankrupted the nation- morally, politically and economically. Government under the smooth and wily general meant the steady growth of a highly centralized dictatorship. Political opponents were hounded into silence or prison; the courts and uni- versities were purged; newspapers were muzzled or put out of business.

Interloping west wind Germany's bad summer imported from U.S. By BERT LINDLER Staff writer HAMBURG (S&S) - One of Germany's coolest, wettest summers in 100 years, swept in unexpectedly from America, said a German meteorologist here. The west wind which is blowing air masses from America to Europe is normal in winter, but extremely unusual in the summer, said Dr. Elisabeth Kleissen, a meteorologist with the German weather service. These air masses cool off as they pass over the Atlantic, Dr. Kleissen said, and bring cool weather, rain and thundershowers when they reach Europe. This type of summer weather system, which first developed on June 27, is just one of two or three that have been recorded in the past 100 years, she said. No change in the weather should be expected within the next few days, Dr. Kleissen said, but she wouldn't venture a guess as to when the system would move out. "We don't understand why the air masses moved this way, so it's difficult for us to predict what they're likely to do next," she said. The effect of this cold mass of Atlantic air - rain and storm weather - was further intensified by a northward shift of hot tropical air, Dr. Kleissen said. You have storms when hot air meets cold air, she said, and the greater the difference in temperature, the more violent the storms. Normally the European air mass, some 9 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the tropical, meets the tropical air mass over the Mediterranean. The storms take place over the sea. Now, the tropical air mass has extended several hundred miles northward to the southern edge of the Alps. The difference in temperature is 18 to 27 degrees greater than normal because of the cool Atlantic air mass over Germany. The result: cold, rainy weather just when vacationers are looking forward to sun and tan. And, at least in this case, Americans should be cautious when complaining about the European weather. This system is an American import. And the following... further shows you... how I, and the SI's, are taking out tyrannical dictators the world over... to replace them with better men. NYTimes Island Head Quits In Caribbean 7/28/74 ROSEAU, Dominica, July 27 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Edward Leblanc today gave up leadership of the Caribbean island of Dominica, whose politics he dominated for 12 years. Mr. Leblanc, 50 years old, who became chief minister when Dominica was still a British colony in 1962, send his letter of resignation to the Governor, Sir Louis Cools Lartigue. Mr. Leblanc also resigned his seat in Parliament. The resignation came as no surprise to the 75,000 people on the banana-producing island. Less than two weeks ago Mr. Leblanc revealed his disenchantment with politics in the country after stepping down as leader of the ruling Labor party. NYTimes Chou Is Reported Out of Hospital 7/28/74 PEKING, July 27 (Reuters) - Premier Chou An-lai has left the hospital and is making a good recovery from his recent illness, diplomatic sources have said today. Ill health forced the 76-year-old Premier to reduce his official duties in early May and he is reported to have suffered a heart attack about a month later. The Premier apparently left the hospital shortly before a meeting on July 20 with a visiting Niger delegation on establishing diplomatic links between the two countries. Observers here believe that Mr. Chou will still rely heavily on his Deputy Premiers even after his recovery, although he may retain the post of Premier, a position he has held for a quarter of a century. === **Page: 10 of 19** EW YORK TIMES, SUNDAY, JULY 21, 1974 S. Jury Examining Colombo Family AS Racketeer-Influenced Organization For the first time, the structure of an organized-crime family is being examined by a Federal grand jury as though it were a noncriminal organization that became infiltrated by racketeers, Federal law enforcement sources have disclosed. The grand jury, in Brooklyn, is investigating the Mafia family of Joseph A. Colombo Sr. under a section of the criminal statutes that has been used in the past to look at racketeer influence in unions, businesses and other legitimate organizations. In the past, mobsters have been prosecuted for the commission of specific crimes and for infiltration of legitimate organizations. But they have not been examined by grand juries for the way they relate to each other within a crime syndicate. Nor have they been prosecuted for their involvement in a crime syndicate. Already the Brooklyn investigation has led to the jailing of the man whom Federal authorities believe to be the current head of the Colombo family, Thomas Salvatore Di Bella, a retired longshoreman. Main Advantage Noted According to Denis E. Dillon, the former chief of the Brooklyn strike force against organized crime, the grand jury's approach could lead to indictments of Colombo family members "for involvement in a racketeer-influenced organization." Joseph A. Colombo Sr. at a demonstration here by Italian-Americans, 1970. by 1971 he was listed by the police as a soldier in the Colombo family. Several law-enforcement sources said Mr. Di Bella's recent rise to a leadership position indicated that the more powerful bosses, such as Mr. Gambino and Mr. Persico, were not pleased with the younger generation's style and wanted a reversion to the older, more discreet sort of family boss. But others were of the opinion that Mr. Di Bella was picked because he was not powerful and hence would be submissive to Carlo Gambino. According to the sources, no provision has been made for his replacement while he serves his term for contempt. NY Times 7/21/74 Stefano Magaddino Dead at 82; Reputed Upstate Crime Leader By EMANUEL PERLMUTTER The body of Stefano Magaddino, the reputed upstate New York crime boss who was one of the last of the original national "commission members" who had ruled the American Mafia in the last 30 years, lay in his own Niagara Falls funeral chapel yesterday. He died Friday of a heart ailment at the age of 82. Floral wreaths kept arriving all day. Don Stefano, as he was known to associates, was said by the Justice Department to have headed organized crime in the area from Western New York into the Ohio Valley and Canada. Stefano Magaddino Once one of the most feared of Mafia leaders, he had been in semiretirement for the last three years and could occasionally be seen playing with his grandchildren in the back yard of his home in Lewiston, N.Y. His Mafia "family" is now believed to be ruled by Russell Bufalino, the reputed organized crime boss of northeastern Pennsylvania. Mr. Magaddino's power began to wane about five years ago after law enforcement officials raided the apartment of his son, Peter A., in Niagara Falls and found $521,000 in a suitcase under his bed. The members of the Magaddino "family" had been unhappy over dwindling illicit heroin smuggling between 1950 and 1960 in France, Italy, Canada and the United States. Five years ago, the Justice Department listed Mr. Magaddino as one of the four members still left of the nine men who had once ruled the Mafia as its national board of governors. In addition to Mr. Magaddino, they include Carlo Gambino of Brooklyn—now reputed to be the "boss of bosses" of the syndicate; Angelo === **Page: 11 of 19** U.S. Seeks to Aid Gloomy World Food Picture The Great Drought Va. Pilot Aug 22, 1974 New England Lacks Rain By United Press International Parts of New England Wednesday were in the grip of the worst drought in 27 years, hard on the heels of a two-month drought in the Midwest that cut projected grain harvests. Farmers in Maine and New Hampshire have been ravaged by the drought, which has cut deep-ly into northern New England's three-month growing season. Corn and hay are expected to be in short supply by winter, and the price of milk probably will rise, said New Hampshire Agri-culture Commissioner Howard Townsend. Vegetable gardens have been damaged. Forestry officials in coastal New Hampshire have imposed bans in some state forests on camp fires and cigarette smok-ing, closed other parks, in-creased smoke watching flights, and placed fire towers on alert. "Everybody that I talk to feels we are sitting on a powder keg and just wondering where the big one's going to start," said Jack Sargent, chief of New Hampshire forest-fire control. Thundershowers last weekend were the only substantial rain in the area in nine weeks, and offi-cials said that by the weekend the forest-fire danger will be at its worst all summer. Some stretches of the Maine coast have been parched by the long hot summer, but officials so far have not imposed restrictions on forest use. Fire last week blackened seven acres of Maine's Acadia National Park in the worst forest fire since 1947, when 1,000 acres of Mt. Desert Island burned. Vermont authorities said dry conditions there have not reached drought proportions. In the Midwest, rains eased the drought situation but brought with it temperatures so low that farmers in the nation's breadbasket were faced with a new worry. Drought-stunted crops are maturing slower than usual, agri-cultura officials said, and face danger of being killed by prema-ture fall frosts. Wednesday morning, tempera-tures dipped to a record low of 45 degrees at Denver, Colo., and to record-tying levels of 45 at Scottsbluff, Neb., and 38 at Sher-idan, Wyo. Rain throughout August helped soybeans and row crops such as grain sorghum, but agri-culture experts in Nebraska and Iowa warned that crops slowed by the drought need time and good fall weather if they are to mature before the first killing frosts. A special report issued early this week by the Agriculture De-partment in Washington said that, while the rains ended the Midwestern drought, they did ot significantly improve the projected corn harvest. The department predicted that the 1974 corn crop would be 12 per cent below last year and the soybean crop down 16 per cent. The next full-scale crop assess-ment is expected Sept. 11. Gentlemen - I was perhaps you thought the world drought - and U.S. drought. The midwest is gesting about drought. The midwest is and U.S. drought.

Owens (PK/Man) === **Page: 12 of 19** The News and Observer, Raleigh, N. C. Sunday, September 22, 1974 J.S. Seeks to Aid Gloomy World Food Picture New York Times News Service WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Kissinger faces an awesome task at the United Nations Monday. He is expected to provide specifics on United States plans for food aid to a world in which few truths that he can provide are likely to be palatable. President Ford had assigned him the task last Wednesday, telling the United Nations that Kissinger would "present in specifics the overall principles that I will outline." Ford went on to give the following promise: "To make certain that the more immediate needs for food are met this year, the United States will not only maintain the amount it spends for food shipments to nations in need but it will increase this amount this year." Aides worked into the weekend, searching and researching to find the means to put the best possible face on a gloomy food picture. But no matter how they turned it, the hard facts came out the same, and they are these: World grain production this year will fall more than 25 million tons below last year's crops - an amount more than equal the average provisions for 100 million people in hungry nations - in a world that has added about 65 million to its population. And the United States, with total grain production this year of about 208 million tons and expected exports of about 50 million tons, would have little more to give to aid the world's 400 million undernourished and starving people than the 3.2 million it provided in the 1973-74 fiscal year - and perhaps less. Details of what the Agriculture Department calls a "sobering picture" emerge from interviews with officials and a study of many of the department's reports and working papers. All the producing countries of the world will produce 941.9 million tons of grain in the 1974-75 marketing year, according to the best judgments and projections. That was 27 million tons less than the world consumed in the year ended June 30, 1974. Because the world had about 106 million tons of grain supplies carried over at the beginning of the year, its people will be able to eat a little more than they produce, but are still ex- pected to consume about 25 million tons less than they did last year. Much of the "carryover" stocks of 104 million tons projected for the end of this marketing year are "pipeline" supplies in transit and in storage and much of the remainder is simply too high priced or in the wrong place to succor the millions of the world's needy. Thus, they are expected to bear the brunt of most of the 25 million ton reduction in world consumption. When rice production is added, the world tonnage total projected is 1,249.8 million tons, compared with 1,275.4 million last year. In India The grimmest part of the picture is developing in India, where uneven monsoons have brought heavy rains to eastern areas but left vast areas of the interior parched and dry. The latest Department of Agriculture reports indicates that this year's wheat crop there has fallen about 2.5 million tons below the 24.9 million tons produced last year. At the same time the rice harvest is expected to fall about two million tons short of last year's 65 million tons, while prospects for coarse grains and peanuts are said to have been "crippled" by the drought in central India. In Eastern Europe, meanwhile, harvest prospects are down about 5 per cent from the 87 million tons produced for the last two years. Although wheat production is about the same as last year's 30 million tons, rye production and corn have declined. In any event, Eastern Europe will have no excess to contribute to world needs. Instead, the area will increase imports. Western Europe will have an increase of about four million tons in total grain production, despite reduced rainfall in northern areas. The rise in production is largely a result of increased acreage and better cropping conditions in the Mediterranean area. The net result is likely to be a 84.7 million for Western Europe, and 52 million for Eastern Europe. Among others, Canada's projection is 18.7 million tons, Australia 10.2 million, Thailand 2.7 million and all other foreign production 131.7 million. The world production compares with last year's 599.1 million tons and consumption last of 604.8 million tons. For rice, no similarly detailed picture is available for the 1974-75 crop year, but the total output is projected at 305 million tons, compared with last year's estimated tonnage of 309.7 million tons. Among all the facts available in the world food picture one final stark reality stands out. It is this: On the basis of the Agriculture Department's long-term trend calculation, world grain consumption is growing 1.5 million tons a year faster than world grain production. In Canada Canada, meanwhile, expects to produce about a million tons of wheat less than she did last year. In summary, this is the outlook for the world's major crops: Wheat - World production is projected at 360.5 million tons, with 95 million to come from the Soviet Union, 52.8 million from Western Europe, 50.1 million from the United States, 31.2 million from Eastern Europe, 16.2 million from Argentina and 73.7 million from all other countries. The total of 360.5 million compares with last year's production of 367.8 million tons and last year's consumption of 364.2 million tons. Other Crops Feed grains - The projected world production of 581.4 million tons is led by the United States 158.9 million tons, 100 million for the Soviet Union, Sept 24, 1974 Only PK Man and his wife, will be able to end the world drought... and assure the world of ample food supplies.

Ted Owens (PK Man) By DELINDA HARRELL Of the Tattler Staff saw colored lights and rotating beacons, he said. "WHEN WE'D SEE one of these appearing to hover or move in usual movements reported for UFOs, we queried the men in the radio cars along the runways to tell us what was taking off or landing," Ford told TATTLER. Other airport operations officers outside the field reported the lights and unidentified aircraft appearing to match previous UFO descriptions given by witnesses, he said. "What all of us saw from several locations did match up with the descriptions of UFOs," he ex- plained. "However, in 99 per cent of the cases, coordinating the information by radio, we discovered our sightings matched those of the takeoffs and landings of Metroflight Airline's special deHavilland Twin- Otter STOL (short takeoff and landing) airplanes commuting to and from D-FW to Love Field in Dallas. "ur they reported other con- ventional types of aircraft movements." While the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport operations task force staff resolved most of the sightings in this way, Ford stressed the study shed no light on the sighting that night when Mrs. Hodgson took her photo of the UFO. Neither did it explain the strange craft hovering above the clearing in which the Perez family lives, seen by five witnesses from three dif- ferent families. THE TASK FORCE could not classify those two sightings, said Ford, who takes a serious interest in UFO reports. "They weren't in D-FW's flight pattern, were sighted too low and acted so differently from the air- craft light sightings we could identify, it can only be concluded the witnesses did see something other than a conventional aircraft or helicopter," he added. Unofficially, Ford and other of- ficials support Mrs. Hodgson's claim that she did spot a UFO on those occasions. "We don't have the answers to those," he said. "And as a matter of safety for the hundreds of airplanes using D-FW in the same immediate area, we have instructed our operations crews and public safety officers to immediately report anything they cannot identify." The investigation of UFO reports at Dallas-Fort Worth will continue on an around-the-clock basis, Ford reiterated. === **Page: 15 of 19** THE NATIONAL TATTLER 25¢ A The Most Respected Name In People-To-People Journalism Alarmed Officials Hunt UFOs At the World's Largest Airport VOL. 21, NO. 2 JULY 14, 1974 -Page 7 Airfield Official Refuses to Ignore Repeated Sightings There World's Biggest Airport Sends out a Team Nightly to Check for UFOs Among Big Jets Officials at the world's largest airport have formed a task force to investigate unidentified flying objects showing up in their flight patterns. Operations officer Fred C. Ford of Dallas-Fort Worth Airport formed the group after a 10-day wave of periodic UFO reports from residents of Grapevine, Tex., a small city a few miles to the northwest. The task force now mans radio-equipped cars at night to try to trace down the source of the UFOs, which appear four and five times in an evening. Grapevine residents first reported the sightings to officials at the airport's Federal Aviation Administration control tower and later to the FAA Southwest Regional Headquarters, Fort Worth. Mrs. Sandra Hodgson, 36, a medical technician, who lives in a new townhouse complex three miles west of the airport boundaries, was the first to make a report. After noticing strange lights for six to eight months above the 17,500-acre field, which opened Jan. 1, 1974, she called the FAA, Ford and her local newspaper. REPORTERS visited Mrs. Hodgson and found she had taken a photo of a UFO in the air. It did not fit any Dallas-Fort Worth flight pattern and its altitude was only 60 feet. After seeing more of the strange lights on succeeding nights, she was joined by Debbie Carter, 17, a friend, and they took Mrs. Hodgson's car and followed the slow-moving light, which flew over a wooded area, she reported. "When we got about a mile into the woods, the UFO was hovering over a clearing, shining a very bright spotlight down into the clearing," she told TATTLER. "Standing there watching it were Mr. and Mrs. (Lucio) Perez and his brother Leonardo. "They were frightened. So was I, but I think they (people in the UFO) are seriously trying to contact humans. "I BELIEVE they come from another planet and are greatly advanced technically," she said. Hearing such reports repeated, Ford organized his UFO-hunting team. "We weren't debunking possibilities of UFOs' existing," he told TATTLER. "But in this case, we wanted to seriously try and pin down exactly what it was the people were seeing. "It was becoming obvious. All of the reports were not just imagination." Ford stationed radio cars along the west runway and others in strategic areas two to four miles west of the airport. Then he joined Mrs. Hodgson and Miss Carter in their nightly UFO watch. After spending but two hours in the remote area, Ford saw something flashing the same lights residents were reporting as UFOs.

Later that day, in the apartment of Gary Cooper's daughter, Maria...and her husband, Byron Janis(?)...I worked on the sky and told them how, within days, Paris would have a good drenching.

And will work to cause strange EM (electromagnetic) effects to attack France...which should affect the power supply there. Am certain...that France will never have experienced anything like this before.

At 6 p.m. EDT, the San Juan weather bureau pinpointed the storm near latitude 10.0 north, longitude 45.5 west or about 375 miles due east of Trinidad. This was about 850 miles southeast of Puerto Rico. The storm was pushing heavy seas of around 15 feet ahead of it, and the weather bureau warned the seas would hit the exposed eastern coast of Trinidad and To- bago and spread westward to the Grenadines Wednesday. The weather bureau ordered posting of gale warnings and a hurricane watch on the Wind- ward Islands of Trinidad, Toba- go, the Grenadines, St. Vincent, and Barbados at the southeast- ern edge of the Caribbean. Alma was discovered by a hur- ricane hunter plane which had been sent out to check on the dis- turbance. The storm grew out of a tropi- cal depression which had been tracked by satellite across the mid-Atlantic for the past three days. Virginian-Pilot, Wednesday, Aug. 14, 1974 A5 Alma's racing westward at about 24 m.p.h. Forecasters said it would continue its course and speed for the next 12 to 18 hours. Gale winds extended 75 miles to the north of the center and 25 miles to the south. Alma is likely to attain hurricane strength of 75 m.p.h winds before reaching the islands, the weather bureau said. "In its present track and mo- tion, the center of the storm will be passing between the islands of Trinidad and Tobago early Wednesday morning and will continue westward, approaching the Grenada area during the day," forecasters said. "It is moving unusually rapidly for this time of year and loca- tion," said Dr. Neil Frank, direc- tor of the National Hurricane Center at Miami, who conferred with forecasters in Puerto Rico on the first storm advisory: Frank said the storm was like- ly to intensify before reaching the islands that form the eastern fringe of the Caribbean sea. The hurricane watch order was is- sued so residents could keep in close contact with Alma's prog- ress. === **Page: 19 of 19** AUGUST 21, 1974 TO: SCIENTIST, OBSERVERS SEE "PREDICTIONS FOR 1974" BY WARREN SMITH (AWARD BOOKS).

PILOT, NORFOLK AUG. 21, 1974 Betting Scandal Hits NFL NEW YORK (UPI) - A stunning gambling scandal, involving the former team physician of the New York Giants, rocked the National Football League Tuesday with the indictment of two known gamblers in a $1 million betting ring. A 40-count indictment against Thomas Musto, 65, of New York and Michael Astarita, 47, of Hillsdale, N.J., was returned in Manhattan supreme court. Both men were taken into custody under the indictment, which contained a total of 40 counts on gambling and criminal conspiracy. The court papers also mentioned the involvement of Dr. Anthony Pisani, who for 10 years was chief orthopedic surgeon for the Giants before resigning last month. Astarita and Musto, who were said by one source to have had a yearly handle of $26 million from which they grossed close to $1.5 million, were arraigned before acting Supreme Court Justice Irving Lang and pleaded innocent to the 40-count conspiracy and promoting gambling indictment. They were paroled without bail for a hearing scheduled Sept. 23. Dr. Pisani was not charged because, according to sources close to the two-year investigation, he cooperated fully in the investigation. Pisani tend- ered his resignation after NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle and Giant president Wellington Mara were informed he was involved in an investigation. Musto was a "soldier" in the Vito Genovese crime family, while Astarita was associated with the late Thomas (Tommy Ryan) Eboli, who was once the manager of boxer Rocky Castellani. Manhattan district attorney Richard Kuhn declined comment on why no action was taken against Pisani, saying only that "it is not the practice of this office to go beyond the scope of the indictment." While Kuhn would only offer a "no comment" when asked if Pisani had cooperated in the investigation, Greg Perrin, Pisani's lawyer, said his client had become "unfortunately involved through his acquaintance with Musto and Astarita, who were his patients for a period of years. The doctor is not involved in any way with any wrongdoing." According to the conspiracy count in the indictment, Musto and Astarita were involved in some of these "overt acts:" "1. On or about Oct. 4, 1973, Thomas Musto and Michael Astarita conferred with Dr. Anthony Pisani about the physical condition of Ron Johnson (Giant fullback). "2. On or about Oct. 6, 1973, Michael Astarita called the office of Dr. Anthony Pisani. "3. On or about Oct. 12, 1973, Thomas Musto refused to discuss the football line with a certain individual stating 'I want to speak to the doctor first to find out what he knows about injuries.'" Kuh said the indictment covered a period from September, 1973, to December, 1973, although the actual investigation had been going on for more than a year. At NFL headquarters, a spokesman issued a terse statement which said that the league office had been aware of the New York City Police Department investigation for some time, but had been unable to come up with any information to help the probe. According to the indictment, Musto and Astarita had "agreed to confer on a regular basis with Pisani through the (1973) football season regarding the extent and exact nature of injuries sustained by Ron Johnson, Carl Lockhart, John Mendenhall and other offensive and defensive players with the Giants."

YPK / MANY OWENS Frank Johnston-The Washington Post Seven Days In August And suddenly it was over. Sitting for the last time behind his desk in the Oval Office, a taut smile flickering at his lips, Richard Milhous Nixon, 61, looked wanly into the television cameras and brought the long ordeal of Watergate to its end. He resigned his ruined Presidency in disgrace—the first man ever driven from the office in the 198 years of the American Republic—and passed the mantle to his hand-chosen successor, Gerald Ford.

"We've known that something terrible was going to happen since last Thursday." Julie Nixon Eisenhower told a friend a few hours before her father's resignation, exactly one week after the President had revealed incriminating evidence to his closest aides. On incrimination Day-Aug. 1-the White House bunker began its final weeks of siege. The first aides to hear the crushing tapes reported bleakly, "It's not more of the same," and others immediately said, "Throw in the towel." Although some of his attorneys had accepted the need for resignation since the Supreme Court decision, the President, strongly supported by his family, resisted. those last months inside the bunker? It may be instructive to examine how the people on the inside reacted to the bursts of fresh defections, the shellings of criticism, the impacts of court decisions, the rumbling sounds of the erosion of foundations, leading up to the Big Bomb-the revelation by the President that he had been holding back evidence-and the final days of Richard Nixon's Presidency.

Then he looked up at me and his eyes came back into focus; old colleague or not, I now worked for The New York Times, so Ziegler picked up the dead telephone and yelled, "Jerry-tell the truth!" With the confession, the black humor turned funereal; Nixon's statement fluttered like a white flag over the bunker. And then the roof of the White House bunker fell in as the guns of August found the range.

Even at this writing some creatures are busily wiping out the reefs and barriers off Australia and in the Pacific...birds are doing crazy things...fish which have never attacked humans are now attacking and chewing up humans...and it will get worse, much worse. - KPK I mention this...because weather and nature go hand-in-hand. Nature's war against man, now in progress...weather in just one of nature's lightning bolts to throw at man. 1975 will see ever-increasing storms; drought; tidal waves; volcanoes exploding. These (electromagnetic) conditions will attack Earth, which will surprise and startle scientists. This effect will upset and disturb many portions of Earth, and its apparatus. The U.S. will be smacked hard by at least two hurricanes, if not more. Tornadoes will attack the U.S. in packs and bunches. The cold will be colder; the hot will be hotter. Watersheds will shrink; water will get scarcer, as drought increases. - Man? "Will the drought in Africa extend further beyond present boundaries?" Not if I can help it. I am currently working to provide Africa with rain, in order to save the people, and the animals, there. Previously, the UFO's had me announce a factor to the scientists who observe my work: world-drought...then let me, their human link, replace geographical locations, locating it in advance to the scientists...and thus proving once and for all the reality of the UFO's, and my link to them. Should anything happen to me...while the world-drought...there will be no one with the human choice to replace the water around the world.

(This, again, is the reason why the U.S. Govt. that I am carefully guarded and protected.) "What about the stock market? Are we in for a depression?" The stock market will fall apart completely. And depression is not the word. The word is simply not severe enough to cover the meaning of what will happen. Put it like this...there is an old saying, the higher they come, the harder they fall. For a long time the U.S. has been the "biggest", and "King of the rock". Now this country is about to fall... and the crash will be something to behold. "What is the future of American political system?" Glad you asked that, Warren. We are in for a revolution in political methodology. In time ahead all the old political methods and structure will be torn down, and a completely new, stream-lined, years-overdue political system will be devised for the United States. Young folks will be responsible for bringing this about. You know, with their young eyes...they can see more than us old folks can see...that our political system can be equated with the old Senators, old Congressmen, old folks clinging to our ancient system...clung to tenaciously because of all of the "goodies" inherent in our present system for the political hacks running it.

Africa Drought ROME (UPI) - Torrential rains have inundated a parched region of West Africa, raising hopes that a devastating six-year drought in parts of the sub-Sahara may be over. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization said caravans of camels augmented by airlifts and truck convoys are taking emergency food relief supplies to famine-hit areas isolated by the rain. The rains have flooded part of the area south of the Sahara, washing out roads, isolating communities and hampering relief operations. "The rains are a mixed blessing," an FAO spokesman said. "Yet if they continue through September, we may see a reasonably good harvest in a region that has suffered through a six-year drought." Six nations have been battered by the drought - Chad, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal and Upper Volta. The affected area spans more than 2,000 miles. Millions of cattle, sheep and other farm animals have been lost, according to FAO statistics. Some herds have been reduced by more than 80 per cent. Crop production has shriveled because humans were forced to eat seed grains as food stocks were consumed and not replaced. The FAO spokesman said about 25 million persons live in the affected danger zone and 6 to 10 million of them were in danger of starvation. No firm death figures are available but estimates of those who have perished from starvation or diseases brought on by malnutrition range from tens of thousands to more than a million. NY Times Sept 1, 1974 HEAVY RAINS PELT SUB-SAHARA AREA Parts of Stricken Lands Get Closer to Normal Fall-Transport Is Disrupted LAGOS, Nigeria, Aug. 31 (AP)-Heavy, slashing rains-even floods-are sweeping parts of the sub-Saharan region that has suffered from a catastrophic six-year drought, and relief agencies say the rainfall appears to be closer to normal than at any time in recent years. But some fear the rains, which usually fall from June through September, may yet peter out and result in widespread crop failures. This would mean another critical year of acute food shortages across the region on the southern fringes of the Sahara, running through parts of Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Upper Volta, Niger and Chad. How good an effect the rains have will not be known, however, until the harvest in late October when crop production can be gauged. "Even if the drought is broken," continued relief will be required for at least another year," according to one United Nations relief worker. Meanwhile, relief agencies are putting planes, trucks and trans-Saharan caravans into the fight to feed millions of near-starving blacks until the hoped-for harvest. Rains Isolate Villages The rains have disrupted land transport and have isolated villages in many areas by wiping out West Africa's primitive network of dirt roads and desert tracks. A United States food airlift, begun in June, is still under way, ferrying grain to remote outposts in hard-hit eastern Mali. The huge V-130 cargo planes, which flew similar missions last year, already have flown more than 4,000 tons of food to the area from Bamako, Mali's capital. United States airlifts are also expected to be mounted soon to assist Mauritania and Chad, where relief officials report serious medical and nutritional problems. A vast international relief effort has moved more than 560,000 tons of grain-more than a third of it from the United States-through West African ports since last March. Total United States food aid granted to the region since 1972 totals about 600,000 tons of grain valued at more than $121-million. Even if the drought is broken this year, relief workers point out that the future problems facing the vast sub-Saharan sandy wilderness are staggering. United States financial aid is also being used to mobilize 2,000 camels in the region to carry 5,000 tons of food to stranded areas. Truck caravans across the Sahara have also been organized by the United States and a United Nations relief agency to deliver food to Mali and Niger from Algeria. RESEARCH INSTITUTE Up to now the human death toll in the drought has been put as high as one million, although many relief agencies consider that figure greatly exaggerated. Most officials say communications are so poor that there is no way of knowing exactly how many have perished, although they believe the number is in the tens of thousands. Hundreds of thousands of cattle, goats and sheep have also been wiped out. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization roughly calculates that over 3.5 million cattle worth some $400-million died in 1973 alone. It is estimated that a least 25 per cent of the cattle herds in the six worst-hit nations perished, with the cattle death toll soaring to 80 per cent in some areas. The Estimate on Refugees Hundreds of thousands of refugees-no one really knows how many there are-now sit in squalid camps, almost totally dependent on food from abroad for survival. Estimates on refugees range from a conservative 250,000 to five million. The nomads, particularly the Tuaregs, the famed "blue men" of the Sahara, are among the worst off. While farmers can hope to return to the soil and rebuild their crops, the nomads, entirely dependent on their herds of cattle and goats for survival, have lost everything. African governments and donor nations will have to decide whether to rebuild the nomad's herds or rehabilitate the refugees and train them to farm. Some say forcing the nomads to become farmers and abandon their freedom to roam the desert is tantamount to inflicting "cultural genocide." A United Nations expert on Tuaregs in Niger, however, says that the nomadic lifestyle is "irrational" in the nineteen seventies. A problem in tabulating needs has been that many blacks in Africa have found it more attractive to abandon their homesteads, where they might have survived, and flock to the refugee camps for food and medical care. Experts say that millions in West Africa will have to be fed with food supplies from abroad for several years as the region tries to recover. I'm informed you, quite a while back - of my intent to bring an end to the six-year drought in Africa - by bringing rains to Africa in great amounts. I told you I would do so, and, as you can see - I have done so!! Millions of people will be saved, thus. They needn't worry in Africa about the rains stopping. I will keep the rains pouring on Africa.) Owens (PK Man) === **Page: 4 of 24** Sept 13, 1974 Scientists See the Attached "Doomsday Effect" and "Jupiter Effect."

Miracles will be needed, and only the SI's and I ... can perform miracles (especially the kind needed to shield the human race from these forms of catastrophe.) V. Owens === **Page: 5 of 24** SCIENCE The Doomsday Effect... Military experts have long conceded that any nuclear war, no matter how limited, would result in countless deaths, but they have assumed that the carnage could be largely restricted to persons directly exposed to nuclear blasts. Now, scientists have unearthed a grim new possibility--one that appears to extend the effects of any nuclear confrontation to all the peoples of the world. According to studies initiated by the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, a series of large nuclear explosions could damage the band of ozone that protects the earth from the sun's ultraviolet radiation--which could conceivably destroy all life on earth. Ozone is a form of oxygen whose molecules contain three atoms instead of the normal two. It occurs predominantly in the lower stratosphere, between about 10 and 30 miles altitude, where it absorbs potentially lethal ultraviolet rays from the sun. The band of ozone is believed to be stable, but the gas can be destroyed by chemicals known as oxides of nitrogen, which convert it to normal, nonprotective oxygen. Three years ago, Dr. Harold Johnston, a chemist at the University of California at Berkeley, suggested that fleets of supersonic airliners flying in the lower stratosphere might emit, through their exhausts, sufficient oxides of nitrogen to deplete the ozone layer significantly. That contention has been partly confirmed. And Johnston soon followed it up with a suggestion that nuclear weapons might have the same depleting effect: the heat of a nuclear explosion causes oxygen and nitrogen molecules in the air to combine, forming oxides of nitrogen, which are carried aloft in the atomic cloud to react with ozone molecules. Scientists at both the arms control agency and California's Lawrence Livermore Laboratory quickly investigated the possibility. And they have found that Johnston may well be right. ... And the Jupiter Effect Mankind may be able to control nuclear warfare, but it can only try to cope with natural catastrophes--and two scientists are predicting that the earth may face a devastating series of events in just eight years. In 1982, all of the nine planets of the solar system will be aligned on the same side of the sun like a rank of heavenly guardsmen on parade. In a book* published this week, astronomers John Gribbin and Stephen Plagemann warn that this rare planetary line-up (it occurs once every 179 years) sees one bright spot in this gloomy picture. The prospect of the destruction of mankind through ozone depletion, he said, might make aggressor nations a bit less likely to press the nuclear button. Their deliberations have produced the following scenario: first, the new planetary line-up will cause a great increase in magnetic activity on the sun, which will be at the peak of its sunspot cycle at that time. This will create huge storms of sunspots and solar flares. Like all bursts of solar activity, these episodes will severely affect the upper parts of the earth's atmosphere, disturbing radio communications, creating such effects as the northern lights and--most important--greatly disrupting weather patterns around the globe, principally by sharply altering wind directions in the upper atmosphere. As the winds shift, they may modify rainfall and temperature patterns in various parts of the world. More important, the scientists say, the frictional effect exerted by atmospheric circulation on the solid earth will change with the winds; the consequence would be to brake suddenly the pace of the earth's rotation--thus giving the planet a jolt sufficiently large to trigger earthquakes in areas of the world under severe geological strain. "There will be many earthquakes, large and small," predict Gribbin and Plagemann. "And one region where one of the greatest fault systems lies today under a great strain, long overdue for a giant leap forward, and just waiting the necessary kick, is California." Bursts: To back up this gloomy estimate, the two scientists quote recent findings in such varied fields as planetary and solar astronomy, meteorology and geophysics. The effect of large solar storms on the earth's rotation was well illustrated by massive bursts of solar activity that occurred in the late '50s and two years ago. Calculations by Gribbin and Plagemann indicated that even the 1972 activity, far lower than the amount anticipated in 1982, slowed down the earth by about one one-thousandth of a second a day, and the solar activity in the late '50s apparently caused a notable increase in the number of earthquakes in geologically unstable areas. The concoction of a chain of possible events, of course, does not establish its actual certainty. The researchers do note, however, that each one of the eight large quakes to have hit an area within 50 miles of San Francisco since 1836 has taken place within the two years following a period of maximum solar activity. Plainly, this apocalyptic prediction will stir controversy in scientific circles. But Gribbin and Plagemann are regarded by their peers as reputable astronomers and, at the least, their calculations are likely to add to public pressure on authorities in California to speed up preparations for coping with a major earthquake. WHEN PLANETS ALIGN As the planets move into alignment in 1982, their gravitational pull may cause huge storms on the sun. These storms could alter wind directions on earth, reducing the speed of the planet's rotation and triggering serious earthquakes. Hazards: The magnitude of the potential effect is unclear. "We do not know how much ozone depletion would occur from a large number of nuclear explosions," agency director Fred C. Ikle said last week. "It might be imperceptible, but it might be almost total. We do not know how long such depletion would last--less than one year, or over ten years. Above all," noted Ikle, "we do not know what this depletion would do to plants, animals and people. Perhaps it would merely increase the hazard of sunburn. Or perhaps it would destroy critical links of the intricate food chain of plants and animals, and thus shatter the ecological structure that permits man to remain alive on this planet." Ikle's agency is currently sponsoring new studies to answer some of these questions.

Borlaug, a Nobel Prize-winning food expert, said Tuesday that he is "horrified" at the extent of drought conditions in the United States. Borlaug returned last week after nearly six months in Asia and Africa, working on food projects with developing nations. While his information is incomplete, Borlaug said, "It doesn't look promising." He said he has unconfirmed reports of substantial winter kill in the Russian winter wheat crop, a factor which could affect world prices. Borlaug spoke at the Midwest Governors Conference, joining Sen. Hubert Humphrey, D-Minn., and others in a discussion of world food problems. Borlaug criticized the federal government for dealing inadequate with inflation. "It seems to me we've become so damn obsessed with Watergate that we play Watergate-Watergate while inflation is ruining the world," he said. Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for developing a strain of wheat useful in underdeveloped countries. Speaking mostly in worldwide terms, Borlaug said food production is barely keeping pace with the "population monster."

Donovan WASHINGTON, Thursday, September 12, 1974 A17 At a stroke of the pen, President Ford has shattered the air of good feeling in-spired by his early conduct in the White House and has ar-oused the most disturbing questions about himself and his administration. After the recent glorious re-lease from what, an assuming of his art has failed to convince a long national nightmare" of Wa-tergate, it is incredible that the country has been as suddenly plunged back into a miasma of doubt, suspicion, anger and yes, depression. Yet the reaction to his unconditional pardon of Richard M. Nixon makes it clear enough that this is what has hap-pened. Surely it is bad policy for a president suddenly to take a drastic step for which the coun-try is not prepared and which the people do not understand. It defies the memory to try to recall when a president has in-stantaneously thrown the coun-try into such a state of mystification as Mr. Ford has done with his dramatic an-nouncement Sunday. The bewil-derment is all the greater because his own previous re-marks about a pardon for Nixon some as recent as Aug. 28, indi-cated that he would take the op-posite course from what he has done. One has only to listen to the cacophony of comment to realize that the president's explanation of his act has failed to convince a great many Americans in and out of Congress. It follows, there-fore, that suspicion has been ar-oused about his motives. Already Washington is speculating about some kind of a deal. Such talk does idle or malicious, such talk does not provide a propitious atmos-phere for a man who was the handpicked successor to Mr. Nixon. Assuming that his motives were pure, Mr. Ford's decision is still going to nag him for years to come in politics. In historical perspective it probably will be seen as the first great landmark of his administration, the chron-ological point at which assess-ment of his presidency begins. His act was indeed essential-ly one of compassion for an old friend, the question is whether the political put personal and political loyalty above the good of the state. One can already vis-ualize its being raised in the first chapter of the biographies and the histories. Washington is bewildered that Mr. Ford should have rung down the curtain on his honeymoon so quickly--and his decision has done no less. Everywhere the same questions are being asked. What political benefit does this bring Mr. Ford? Could this be a gesture to the Republican right wing to soothe hurt feelings over his selection of Nelson A. Rocke-feller for vice president and his proposal for leniency to Vietnam war draft-dodgers and deserters? Is this the way President Ford is going to make great decisions, springing them on concerned of-ficials without notice? Does the intense secrecy preceding Sun-day's announcement square with the new President's promise to consult and listen to other view-points in contrast to the ingrown Nixon decision-making? Does Mr. Ford really believe, as his statement suggested, that the political put personal and political loyalty above the good of the state.

To the extent that this is the first step toward renegotiating the agreement, it is welcome because the papers pact was just as ill-advised as the premature pardon which it accompanied. As the Special Prosecutor has recognized, the agreement between Mr. Nixon and GSA Administrator Arthur F. Sampson was a giveaway by the government - a give-away which gave Mr. Nixon every opportunity to use the records of his presidency to obstruct justice and stonewall history. Under the arrangement, Mr. Nixon would have controlled all access to the records deposited with GSA - the records of official presidential conduct and mis-conduct which Mr. Nixon referred to as "my presidential historical materials." The control was to be both legal and literal, since two different keys were to be required to open the vault and only Mr. Nixon would have had both. All the materials except the tapes were to be kept for three years, after which Mr. Nixon would have been able to withdraw anything "without formality" for any purpose, including publication, sale or shredding. The tapes were to be kept until Sept. 1, 1979, after which they would have been destroyed as Mr. Nixon might direct, or upon his death, or at the latest by Sept. 1, 1984. This was an open invitation to a monumental cover-up. The pact's provisions regarding subpoenas were es-pecially curious. In an opinion for President Ford, At-torney General William Saxbe wrote that even though Mr. Nixon owned the materials, the government would have to produce properly subpoenaed items within its possession. But the San Clemente arrangement said government officials, if served with a subpoena, must notify Mr. Nixon so that he could respond "as the owner and custodian of the materials, with sole right and power of access thereto and, if appropriate, assert any privilege or defense I may have." That, coupled with Mr. Nixon's exclusive ownership of one of the two different keys necessary to open the vault, promised only more rounds of objections, appeals, unilateral decisions that certain papers and conversations were not relevant - and probably a few announcements that some materials simply could not be found. In short, at the same time President Ford immunized Mr. Nixon against federal prosecution, he also gave his predecessor the power to undermine or frustrate other probes and prosecutions as well. It is no wonder that the Special Prosecutor has objected so forcefully. The agreement was doubly obnoxious because the cover-up could be an endless one. Mr. Nixon has ex-pressed his "desire" to donate "a substantial portion" of the documents, excluding tapes, for historical pur-poses at some future date, but absolutely no binding commitment has been made. Thus he and his family would be at liberty to write their own memoirs, to publish selected documents and transcripts, to open the files to sympathetic writers - and to bar access, forever, to everybody else. Key documents and tapes could be suppressed and eventually destroyed with their contents undisclosed. Together with the presiden-tial pardon, this adds up to a kind of eternal immunity protecting Mr. Nixon from final and dispassionate judgment either in the courts or at the bar of history. In authorizing such a deal, President Ford may have been pushed by the suggestions that, in the absence of some formal accord, there was little to prevent Mr. Nixon from sending over the U-Hauls and carting all his files away. That idea was based on the assumption that the records of a presidency are the President's per-sonal property to keep, donate or dispose of as he likes. That concept, however unwise, is backed by ample precedent - but there is no precedent governing the case of a President who has resigned in disgrace to avoid impeachment, and whose former aides and closest associates are under indictment or investigation for a wide range of alleged crimes, many of which involve abuse of presidential authority. In such a case, it is incumbent on the government to take every pos-sible step to preserve the record and to assure that potential evidence will be available so that the agencies of justice may proceed without hindrance or delay. President Ford now has the obligation to renegotiate the agreement which was so rashly signed. That task should certainly not be entrusted to Mr. Sampson of GSA, whose inclination seems to be to give Mr. Nixon anything and everything he wants. Instead, a new and more prudent arrangement should be worked out by the White House in full consultation with the Special Prose-cutor. If Mr. Nixon balks, the courts or Congress may have to intervene. But the responsibility rests first of all with President Ford. He should regard this as an opportunity to demonstrate his commitment to fair and thorough enforcement of the laws, and thus repair some of the damage caused by the precipitous pardon and the initial decision to give these vital records away. Jo (the p === **Page: 13 of 24** news observer Raleigh, NC. Sept 20, 1974 Bigger Role for Congress Ford Not Making the Necessary Break By Anthony Lewis BOSTON - A few hours before the news conference, someone deeply committed to President Ford was reflecting on what he needed to do. Above all, this person said, Ford had to show that he was his own man, not tied to Richard Nixon in person or policy. For example, he should take care to avoid entanglement in whatever the CIA may have done in Chile during the Nixon years. When he was asked about Chile that night, Ford proceeded to clasp the CIA to his bosom. He said it had acted only to protect the opposition press and parties from the Allende government - ignoring the fact that the military regime, unlike Allende, has banned all opposition and murdered and tortured thousands. He blandly concluded that U.S. interference had been "in the best interest" of Chile. People are increasingly puzzled at Ford's performance, and that answer indicates why they are. When he became President, he seemed to understand so well the need to separate himself from the horrors of the immediate past. Now, just a few weeks later, he gives every sign of having lost that understanding. It is not just the pardon, done with the techniques of surprise and secrecy that were a Nixon hallmark. Again and again, he acts as if he wants to take on the burdens of the Nixon legacy. Item: Ford lets his own White House budget be used to provide the Nixons with a valet and maid, a $36,000-a-year secretary, a chauffeur, a speech-writer and 16 other helpers. Item: A few weeks ago, when an inherited White House lawyer was caught dissembling on the subject of the Nixon tapes, Ford dispatched him and undertook to safeguard the tapes. Then, without notice, he approved a deal with Nixon that would endanger the access to the tapes and Nixon papers needed by the Watergate special prosecutor. Item: Ford allows White House staff members closely identified with Nixon to linger on, despite conflicts with his own people. Gerald Ford remains a likeable human being, with no evidence of his predecessor's dark obsessions. But sometimes he makes it hard to be sure who is President. During the news conference he referred to Nixon eight times as "the president." Was that just slowness of mind, or something more revealing? The very issues handled in so puzzling a way by Ford demonstrate the need for Congress to play a larger role. An obvious example is the continuing use of White House funds for Nixon. Congress should act swiftly to see that he gets no public money except what is directly appropriated for him, and that limited to anything required by law. On the pardon, the continuing controversy about Haig's role and the absence of any real explanation from Ford for acting so hastily suggest that there should be a congressional inquiry. In any event, Congress must make sure that all the facts come out despite the pardon. It should give the special prosecutor any further powers he needs to tell the full story, including assured access to the Nixon papers and tapes. The appointment of Alexander Haig to the NATO post cries out for the most careful congressional examination. What was his role in the obstruction of the special prosecutor and the Senate Watergate committee, for example, and in the illegal White House wiretapping? Not least, there is the large question of the CIA and Chile. That is a special test of the congressional will, for in the past Congress has notoriously shirked its duty of oversight in regard to CIA activities. There is an old-boy network: the senior members of Congress who often cover up for the dirty tricks of their friends in the national security business. When the House Judiciary Committee voted to impeach Nixon, Rep. Walter Flowers warned that Congress would be judged in the future by the way it exercised its rediscovered power - "by our willingness to share in the many hard choices that must be made for our nation." The experience of that proceeding showed us that there are many persons of real ability and judgment in Congress. We shall see now whether they have the will.

Still happening? Nixon Profile Gets Officer in Trouble By Jack Anderson Sept. 20, 1974. WASHINGTON - The young Air Force psychiatrist who wrote the eerily prophetic "President Nixon's Psychiatric Profile" has complained that he is being so harassed by his Air Force bosses he wants to resign. Maj. Eli Chesen, chief of the Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., mental health clinic, has confided to congressmen that he has been threatened with court martial, that his patriotism has been questioned and that his integrity has been assaulted - all because of the book. So serious is the alleged mistreatment, we have learned, that 13 plucky doctors at the Nellis base hospital have written Congress and the Air Force asking for a "full investigation" of Chesen's charges. Chesen wrote his book while he was on inactive reserve. It was based on Nixon's speeches, biographies, televised appearances and writings. From his gigantic heap of material, Chesen shrewdly drew the conclusion that Nixon never would buckle from the most critical policy crises, but might disintegrate from personal problems. The Air Force major finished his book almost a year ago when the world still believed in the exuberant Nixon of the 1972 election period. But Chesen accurately predicted that Nixon might become the present-day recluse of San Clemente, a lonely, tortured, insecure man. "It is in the personal context that I am most concerned about Nixon's stability under stress," wrote Chesen with discomforting foresight. "The threat of world war poses less of a vexation for Nixon than the outcome of Watergate...." Indeed, Nixon's physician Dr. Walter Tkach might well have been quoting from Chesen's uncanny forecast when he said a few days ago that Nixon was "ravaged" and broken in spirit. But Chesen's Air Force bosses apparently are not interested in the accuracy of the young psychiatrist's star-gazing about Nixon. Even before Chesen came on active Air Force duty last February, he ran into trouble, he confided in a letter to several congressmen, including Rep. Wiley Mayne, R-Iowa. Chesen said his future commander allegedly told aides, "If Doctor Chesen gets even a step out of line, he will be court-martialed." Within days after he got to Nellis, he said, an Air Force general at a small dinner party questioned him about where his father was born in Russia. "His questions to me indicated a surprising personal knowledge of my background, including minor details about my wife's medical problems," said Chesen. At the base, he said, a special file was kept on him and was "shown to some of my colleagues in a way to discredit my reputation.... My commanding officer has personally... informed the defense counsel on (a) case that my opinion was not reliable in view of my past performance as an author of a book of which he disapproves." Chesen, who had settled with his family in Nellis, also intermittently faced threats of reassignment. As a result of all this, he said, he wanted a release from active duty, even though his time is not up until 1976. FOOTNOTE: Chesen refused comment, saying "I could get court-martialed." An Air Force spokesman said a preliminary inquiry has produced no evidence of harassment, but the Air Force, he told us, has been a thorough investigation. rasping mp? === **Page: 16 of 24** Sept 16, 1974 'Never Come Out Alive' < 0 Nixon Rules Out Stay in Hospital NEW YORK (AP) Air Force Maj. Gen. Walter Tkach Satur- day said he decided against hos- pitalizing Richard M. Nixon after the former President told him, "If I go into the hospital, I'll nev- er come out alive." He did not say why Nixon feared that he would die if hospi- talized. Tkach, Nixon's long-time per- sonal physician, was interviewed by NBC News at his home at An- drews Air Force Base near Washington after he returned from a visit to his patient at San Clemente, Calif. "Mr. Nixon's condition has worsened in the past several weeks despite the pardon," Tkach said, and he "is a ravaged man who has lost the will to fight." Va. Pilot Sept 15, 1974 Tkach added, however, that Nixon showed no signs of mental imbalance and is rational. But, he said in a 30-minute in- terview with NBC newsman Ford Rowan that phlebitis has caused Nixon's left leg to swell and he is fatigued and very tense. The doctor said he feared that the tension would lead to forma- tion of a blood clot that could lodge in Nixon's heart. He said the former president is receiving medication for phlebi- tis, but not anticoagulants whose administration could only be started in a hospital. Anticoagulants are used to help keep blood flowing freely and prevent formation of clots.

Sept. 22, 1974 Ford's Pardon of Nixon Was Back This column... means it is correctly! - O. Owens Misplaced Compassion I had not intended to do a column on Richard Nixon. Caught up in the general euphoria surrounding his resignation and the wise policies of reconciliation followed by President Ford, I thought it best not to dwell on the evil past. But the blanket pardon granted Nixon changes all that. Put bluntly, it sticks in the craw. It raises the real prospect that an administration that acted like a malignant cancer on the political body of our nation will eventually be whitewashed. That should not be allowed to happen. The nightmare Nixon years were those of the most discredited presidency in our history and no presidential pardon can wipe out its legacy. The Nixon administration fell because of the criminal actions at the highest level, Jordan up to and including the President himself. Without pardon, Nixon may have faced indictment on charges of obstructing justice, tax fraud, and perhaps other illegal acts still buried in the prosecutor's files and in the tapes. It left office after having wrecked the economy, misused public funds, fostered high inflation and high unemployment, encouraged racial bitterness through politicization of busing and crime issues, destroyed public confidence in the process of government, and abruptly ended all signs of black progress. It's a sorry story, the legacy left us by Mr. Nixon, and it is one that should be remembered for, as a philosopher has written, "those who forget history are condemned to repeat it." There lies one of the most persuasive arguments against pardoning the former President. Unless the whole miserable story of Watergate and other crimes perpetrated by his administration is brought out, there is always a chance that a forgetting public will allow similar events to happen in the future. But even more important, the cherished principle of equal justice before the law is defeated by a pardon. That principle demands that everyone, rich or poor, black or white, worker or President, shall get equal treatment under the laws of the land. We know that principle has been dishonored in the past, but in this glaring case it could have been affirmed. The course of justice should have been allowed to flow unimpeded. Just as Mr. Nixon's underlings have faced trial and imprisonment, so too, the man who gave them their orders should have been made answerable to the law. This doesn't mean that a former President should go to prison. It is unlikely that any judge would have imposed such a sentence on him, and a post-trial pardon would have been deservedly popular. But the law should have been allowed to proceed. Since the presidential pardon short-circuited the process of justice, the whole system is liable to be held in contempt. The big excuse for the hasty pardon was the supposed "suffering" the former President has already gone through. Mr. Nixon resides in a luxurious seaside villa, partially paid for by government funds, has a pension and office expenses of over $150,000 per year. That's suffering? How can this be explained to hundreds of thousands of poor, black and minority people now serving jail terms or bearing the burdens of less than honorable military discharges, most of them for offenses far less serious than those Mr. Nixon is charged with? The hasty and ill-considered pardon tells them that the law is not the same for rich and poor alike, that some people are indeed above the reach of the law, and that the principle of equal justice can be ignored at will. The President is a compassionate man, but in this instance his compassion was sadly misplaced. He has weakened faith in a system that seemed capable of working again, has damaged himself politically, and had unnecessarily compromised his own reputation for candor and integrity. Let us hope that he will redeem himself by showing as much compassion for the unfortunate millions, the real victims of the Nixon administration, as he has for the wealthy, still powerful lord of San Clemente. you - The poor... === **Page: 18 of 24** Kissinger, Ford, Rockefeller... these more "Watergate" (that's us) Wait and see!!

Kissinger did not reveal the extent of the Central Intelligence Agency's involvement with labor unions and trade groups in Chile during separate briefings this week to congressional leaders and the Ford administration Cabinet, reliable administration and congressional sources have reported. The sources said Kissinger offered an emotional defense of the CIA's clandestine operations in Chile during the regular Tuesday morning Cabinet meeting, explaining that, as one source with first-hand knowledge said, "all we did was support newspapers and political opponents of Allende who were under siege." A similar description of the CIA's role was publicly made by President Ford in his televised news conference Monday, and again by Kissinger during testimony Thursday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The CIA has been reported to have secretly financed striking labor unions and trade groups for more than 18 months before the government of Chilean President Salvador Allende was overthrown last September in a bloody coup d'etat. More than half of the $8 million authorized for covert CIA operations during the three year presidency of Allende was utilized to finance and provide support payments for striking middle class workers, the Times sources have reported. In the Cabinet meeting, according to an administration source, Kissinger gave some examples of the type of clandestine activities underwritten by the CIA - dealing with direct aid to an allegedly threatened newspaper and anti-Allende politicians. The source said some Cabi- net members noted at the time that Kissinger was telling them, in effect, "here's the kind of thing we did" and did not specifically reveal what actually had been undertaken by the CIA. At no time during the meeting, the source said, did Kissinger mention the financing of labor union or trade groups. The Secretary of State also told the Cabinet members, the source said, that the CIA's total investment in Chile since 1964 - some $11 million - was "marginal." Other sources have said, however, that CIA operatives in Chile were able to exchange the American dollars on the black market at levels up to 800 per cent higher than in commercial banks - suggest- === **Page: 19 of 24** Armed Forces Take Over Ethiopia's Emperor Deposed ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) - Ethiopia's armed forces deposed Emperor Haile Selassie Thursday, climaxing a six-month gradual takeover. They placed the emperor under arrest and accused him of embezzling millions while the nation's peasants starved. Lt. Gen. Aman Michael Andom, 51, a popular war hero named defense minister and armed forces chief of staff during the prolonged takeover, emerged as the new leader. "I'm not going," the 82-year-old emperor was quoted as say- ing to soldiers who came to his palace. But the frail emperor, once adored by 26 million subjects as the Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah and Elect of God, was put into the back seat of a blue Volkswagen police car and taken away, witnesses said. A military broadcast said Gen. Aman was chosen chief of the anonymous 13-man military committee in power, and thus the 'temporary' head of government. Michael Imru, who in July be-came Ethiopia's third prime minister in seven months, moved to information minister. The military broadcast said the emperor's grandson, Rear Adm. Eskinder Desta, former navy commander, was arrested along with about 170 other former officials charged with corruption and misuse of office. Selassie, the world's oldest and longest reigning monarch, was taken with the royal family to Koka Palace, 52 miles east of Ad- (See Ruler, Page A4) Ruler of Ethiopia in Custody Continued dis Ababa, informed sources said. The military rebels promised democratic elections and land reform after 58 years of feudal rule. Ethiopians reacted happily, decorating six tanks that rumbled into Addis Ababa with flowers and green banners bearing the military slogan, "Ethiopia First." Troops smiled at photographers and shook hands with girls. Small groups of students ran through Addis Ababa, shouting, "Down with the Emperor." Residents in Asmara, Ethiopia's second largest city, rejoiced in the streets at news of the overthrow. LT. GEN. ANDOM ... ... new leader The committee also said a military court will be established to try people without appeal. About 200 high-ranking officials have been rounded up in the last few months and are now awaiting trial on charges of corruption, graft, and malpractice in office. The committee said it acted because the emperor refused to hand back billions of dollars he had invested overseas, because of crimes against the Ethiopian people over the last half a century, and because Selassie is too old and weak, both physically and mentally. Unofficial estimates put Selassie's wealth abroad at $10 billion, making him one of the world's richest men. But Selassie reportedly contends that much of his wealth has been distributed among his children and cannot be recovered. The committee also accused former governments of manipu- when he broadcast a statement against the regime. Selassie returned to Ethiopia, crushed the uprising by his imperial bodyguard, and saw his son prostrate himself in a plea for forgiveness. The emperor declared the crown prince innocent. Selassie, barely 5 feet 2, consistently used stern methods to suppress his enemies. Yasu, the emperor from whom he seized power, was kept in chains for 19 years until he died. In the early part of this year Selassie's power began to fade, however, as the armed forces served notice that it was time to move the ancient Christian empire into the 20th century. A prolonged series of mutinies, arrests of key figures, and takeovers of government offices reduced the frail but strong-willed emperor to a figurehead.

Pilot Sept 14, 1974 Basic Policies Remain (Sadat) to Step Down From Premiership CAIRO (UPI) -- Anwar Sadat will step down as Egyptian premier but continue as president in a government reshuffle that does not signify changes in Egypt's basic foreign and domestic policies, government sources said Saturday. The sources said Sadat directed First Deputy Premier Abdel Aziz Higari to form a new Cabinet, which is expected to take over in the second half of September. The change, the sources said, is aimed primarily at relieving Sadat of some of the heavy executive burdens involved in his double role as premier and president. Sadat assumed the premiership March 28, 1973, in what turned out to be a personal takeover of all preparations for the October war against Israel. The fact that Sadat now feels rect control of the Cabinet to another man does not signal any departure from Egypt's basic policies, the sources said. They said Egypt will continue military preparations for a possible new war against Israel if peace efforts collapse while at the same time promoting reconstruction and economic development at home. The sources said the great majority of ministers serving in the present Cabinet will be retained in Higazi's government. Higazi, 51, is one of the nation's leading economists. He served as treasury minister for several years before becoming first deputy premier. He and other members of the Cabinet came under fire in the press and parliament in recent weeks because of shortages of soap, matches, chicken, tea, and PRIME MINISTER KIRK... ...

Kirk, an opponent of U.S. policy in Vietnam and an advocate of new forms of Asian and Pacific regional cooperation, died Saturday. He was 51. A government announcement said he died peacefully in a hospital where he was being treated for gastric influenza. He had been in poor health for months with pleurisy. Deputy Prime Minister Hugh Watt took over the government until the Labor Party caucus meets to elect a new leader. Labor has a 55-32 seat majority in Parliament. In Washington, White House press secretary Jerald F. terHorst said President Ford "obviously is deeply sorry" and has sent a private message of condolence to the Kirk family. The 6-foot, 250-pound "Big Norm" Kirk, a former welder and rail engineer, was elected in November 1972 in a personal triumph that returned the Labor Party to power, ending 12 years of rule by the National Party. Kirk reversed some long-stand ing government policies. He pulled the remaining New Zealand troops out of South Vietnam shortly after his election, recognized Communist China, and backed the Association of Southeast Asian Nations' proposal for an end to foreign intervention in Southeast Asia. The son of a poor cabinetmaker, Kirk began his career as a ferry engineer in Auckland harbor. At the age of 12, he dropped out of school to work as a gardener and railway cleanup boy and painted roofs for $1 a week. At 30, he was elected mayor of the small town of Kaiapoi. He entered Parliament in 1957 and in 1964 became Labor Party president. The next year he became the opposition leader in Parliament. He actively sought closer ties between New Zealand and the Third World and Communist nations. Kirk visited Washington and the United Nations in 1973.

A clandestine radio station in Hue has been publicizing "Indictment No. 1," but no one knows who is running the sta tion. The Catholic anti-corruption movement began gathering steam last June, when 301 priests called a press confer ence and released a statement denouncing Thieu. Police kept newsmen out of that press conference and confiscated the statements. "The Buddhists overthrew Diem in 1963," said one priest. "Now it's time for the Catho lics to do something about Thieu." Many of these priests have been considered political conservatives, and all are anti Communist. If the Catholics have fo cused on corruption, the Bud dhists have focused on Thieu's failure to achieve peace.

In the 20 months since the cease-fire, Thieu has success fully held down the opposition with police tactics and charging all those who are not with him being pro-Com munist. But now, even the U.S. Congress balking at such a hard line, Mau's new organiza tion plans to tread the tricky middle road between Thieu and the Communists in an ef fort, Mau says, to implement the Paris agreement and bring about "national reconciliation on the basis of self-determina tion by the people."

Pilot Italy's Government Falls in Big Crises ROME (AP) - The Italian government collapsed Thursday night in a crisis about acute economic problems and during a strong Communist bid for a share of power. Premier Mario Rumor, who headed a center-left coalition, submitted his resignation to President Giovanni Leone. Leone asked Rumor to stay on as a caretaker premier until elections can be held. It was the 36th Italian government to fall since the end of World War II. Rumor's cabinet submitted its resignation in June, but Leone that time refused to accept it, forcing the premier to stay on. The country's latest political crisis raised fears in Washington and European capitals that an opening to the Communists—the largest Marxist party in the West—could be the only way to resolve the situation short of government paralysis or anarchy. Rumor, five times a premier, headed a government of Christian Democrats, Italy's dominant party since the war, Marxist Socialists, and Democratic Socialists. Finance Minister Mario Tanassi triggered the crisis with charges that the Socialists were sabotaging efforts to curb inflation and growing political terrorism. But behind the charge was a long-simmering dispute about what role, if any, the Communists should play in the government. NICOSIA (UPI) - The Cyprus government said Thursday night it foiled what was believed to be an assassination attempt on President Glafkos Clerides by gunmen firing from an automobile. No one was injured in the attack. The government announcement said gunmen fired from a car on police five minutes before Clerides was scheduled to drive along the street from his office to his home. "When the police vehicle tried to intercept the suspicious car, fire was opened against it," the statement said. Police returned the fire and chased the gunmen along the avenue, but their car escaped down a side street. Police logged the registration number of the car, but declined to speculate on who made the attack. Clerides earlier had been conferring in his office with his ministers and other close aides and had just made up his mind to resign the presidency following a statement of support from the deposed president, Archbishop Makarios, in New York.

Sincerely, Owens Minnesota Overcomes Dallas, 23-21 DALLAS (AP)-Fred Cox kicked a 27-yard field goal with one second remaining Sunday to lift Minnesota to a 23-21 victory over the Dallas Cowboys and keep the Vikings unbeaten in the National Football League. It was the third field goal of the day for Cox who also con- nected from the 46 and 30-yard lines. Minnesota is now 4-0 and the leader in the National Confer- ence Central Division while the Cowboys sank to 1-3 which is their worst start since 1965. Fran Tarkenton, the crafty Viking quarterback, who had thrown touchdown passes of 66 and 13 yards to Chuck Foreman earlier in the game, drove Min- nesota 69 yards in the closing moments after Calvin Hill's eight-yard run had put the rally- ing Cowboys ahead, 21-20, with 2:26 to play. Tarkenton scrambled for 12 yards during the drive and hit Ed Marianao with two clutch passes.

The Packers, 3-2, intercepted four Ram passes—three by line-backer Ted Hendricks—and converted the turnovers into a field goal and a touchdown after Stag-gers' second-quarter return. The Rams' only scores came on a pair of 28-yard Dave Ray field goals as mistakes consis-tently stymied their offense. Staggers took Dave Chapple's punt on the Green Bay 32-yard line midway through the second quarter, then threaded through the Los Angeles coverage, and outraced Chapple as Green Bay took a 7-3 lead. The Rams had driven from their own 28 to the Green Bay 11 in to set up Ray's field goal. Most of the drive involved runs by Larry McCutcheon and Jim Bertleson, although John Hadl completed three passes. McCutcheon picked up 109 yards on 21 carries. | Rams | Packers | |---|---| | First downs | 16 | 10 | | Rushes-yards | 42-157 | 44-143 | | Passing yards | 132 | 155 | | Return yards | 132 | 155 | | Passes | 9-28-4 | 9-21-1 | | Punts | 5-35 | 7-42 | | Fumbles-lost | 2-1 | 2-1 | | Penalties-yards | 2-10 | 3-38 | Los Angeles 0 0 3 3—6 Green Bay 0 7 3 7—17 LA—FG Ray 28 GB—Staggers 68 punt return (Marcol kick) LA—FG Marcol 32 LA—FG Ray 28 GB—Brockington 5 run (Marcol kick) A—47,499 OCTOBER 13, 1974 ⑧ DIRECTIONS Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal ex-plains why he has devoted his life to tracking down war criminals.

Pro teams that keep "old" players... who have lost their once-great abilities but keep their great names... sink slowly to the bottom of the winning list... and become the worst losers. Pro teams... carefully snap up new, promising players... and give them years to mature and develop into "greats"... which is often the case. Our government... like a pro team... has become overloaded with "old players". Old Senators, old Congressman... too many old men. Our "team" in America is old, tired, jaded, worn-out, and worse... out of fresh, young ideas. Our government must go into a crash program... of selecting, carefully, new, young "players"... each to be assigned to an old player, for coaching and training for a year or two... until the new, young player has learned the game and how to play it... then the old player must step down and let the new, young player play. It... is the only way left. Once this program were put into effect and developed... we would have a fresh young team... a fresh young country, led by fresh young leaders... and new hope for America. I sense a large foreign power... now planning an active attack on the United States... in near time ahead.

Pilot Oct. 5, 1974 Millions in U.S. Crops Destroyed by Cold Wave By The Associated Press A September cold wave has caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to crops across the Midwest and East, officials reported Friday. They said soybeans and corn were hit the hardest with damage also to tomatoes, Kentucky's tobacco crop, and New York State grapes. The cold weather brought frost to states like South Dakota as early as Sept. 3 and there was freezing reported in late September in most of the northern Midwest. The result, officials say, was the destruction of crops like corn and soybeans that are normally planted late and in some areas were planted later than usual this year because of heavy spring rains. The only good news was a prediction of short-range benefits to beef consumers and a positive effect on the Eastern apple crop. Officials in Indiana estimate that the frost cost farmers there about $152 million; in Wisconsin, officials said total crop damage for the year is $125 million, much of it from the frost, but some of it from heavy spring rains; in Ohio, total damage was set at $356 million for the year from drought, torrential rain, and early frost. In other states, estimates were not available but officials predicted that the cost would be high. Walter Goeppinger, chairman of the Board of the National Corn Growers Association in Boone, Iowa, said Friday that American farmers will harvest less than 4.8 billion bushels of corn this year. The Agriculture Department predicted last spring a harvest of 6.1 billion bushels. Goeppinger, who toured frost-bitten areas of Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa this week, predicted a short-term benefit to consumers. He said much of the damaged corn crop would be used for silage and fed to beef, causing a short-term increase in the beef supply. Goeppinger also predicted possible reduction of the 1975 corn crop if the frost prevents late-fall field work. Corn, soybeans, and tomatoes were affected because they were planted the latest. In Kentucky, where harvesting was late because of earlier rains, there were between 20,000 and 25,000 acres of tobacco still standing when the cold hit. "We're talking about $40 million to $50 million worth of tobacco still in the field that was subject to freeze," said Dr. J. W. Smiley, a tobacco specialist at the University of Kentucky. Treenholm D. Johnson, a specialist hired by four western New York grape-growing counties, reported that leaves on grape vines froze, diminishing the sugar content in the grapes. He said he could not estimate the financial loss to growers, who sell the crop for wine and grape juice. "We'll get some improvement in the crop with better weather, but we will not get the high-quality crop we expected a few weeks ago," Johnson said. In Ohio, most crops were harvested by Sept. 24 and Sept. 30, when the killing frosts struck. But corn, soybeans, and tomatoes were not. C. William Swan, executive vice president of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, said about a third of the tomato crop and between 10 and 15 per cent of the soybean crop in northeastern Ohio was wiped out. Swan said the corn crop, hurt by dry weather this summer, was reduced another 5 per cent by the frost. The Michigan Crop Reporting Service said some farmers in the southeast corner of the state may ask for disaster aid because of damage to the soybean crop. Damage estimates for the state are not available yet, but are expected to be high, the service said. Earl L. Park, a Purdue University agriculture statistician, says it is possible as much as 6 per cent of the corn and 6 per cent of the soybeans were destroyed in Indiana. Park said 40 per cent of the 3.5 million acres planted in corn was considered not fully safe from freeze; and about 10 per cent of the 3.91 million acres planted in soybeans was in the same category and another 20 per cent susceptible to some damage, Park said. Al Jindra, a state crop statistician in Wisconsin, said the estimated $125 million in crop loss there could climb higher. Jindra said the immature corn and soybeans whose growth was stopped by the frost have low nutritional value and he predicted that many farmers will simply plow them under. In South Dakota, where frost came as early as Sept. 3 in some areas, the damage estimates aren't in yet. But Chuck Hudson, a statistician with the federal Crop and Livestock Reporting Service, says there was extensive damage and said farmers are using considerably more corn for silage than they had planned. One farm official said the frost caused little damage because the damage had already been done. "Our crops were already ruined by the hot and dry weather in July and August," said Vilas Young, regional farm extension agent for northwest Missouri. "By the middle of August, most of the corn already had been ruined and was being cut for silage. The soybeans dried out before they matured and they will be better for hay than for beans." One of the few happy notes came from northwestern New York, hit by temperatures in the low 30s for several days. Kenneth Pollard, merchandising director of the Western New York Apple Growers Association noted that Lake Ontario retains heat and has a moderating influence on early fall temperatures. He said the cold weather "actually allows the trees to harden up and build a resistance to cold temperatures." And Ralph Baldasaro of the New York-New England Apple Institute in Westfield, Mass., said the cold nights and clear days add color to the apple -- that's the finishing process."

Simone) Apuzwork Act 14, 1974 Portugal: A Shove Leftward He was Portugal's man on horseback - a general idolized by his troops and loved by his countrymen. And when several hundred junior army officers toppled Europe's oldest Fascist regime last April, they quickly asked Gen. Antonio de Spinola to serve as interim President during the difficult transition period from dictatorship to democracy. But the young army captains, many of them leftists, soon found themselves at odds with the conservative Spinola. The monocled, 64-year-old general appeared to feel he had some sort of Gaullist mandate to rule Portugal as he saw fit - and that meant slowing his nation's rapid swing to the left. Last week, the junior officers decided their idol had to go. They stripped Spinola of virtually all power - and forced the aristocratic general to resign. The showdown had been brewing since mid-July. At that time, the young leaders of the Armed Forces Movement vetoed Spinola's call for early Presidential elections - which he hoped to win before Portugal's long-suppressed Communist and Socialist parties had time to fully organize. Then the captains forced the haughty general to name their leader, left-leaning Col. Vasco dos Santos Goncalves, as his new Prime Minister. In the weeks that followed, Spinola stumped the country trying to drum up support among Portugal's 'silent majority.' Two weeks ago, rightists began organizing a big rally in support of Spinola. Fearful that this show of strength might foreshadow a rightist coup, the young officers led by Goncalves demanded that Spinola ban the rally. No. Kissinger war down lucky! - Given Virginian-Pilot, Saturday, October 12, 1974 Accidental Shot Misses Kissinger DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) - A submachine gun accidentally discharged aboard Henry A. Kissinger's jet plane at Cairo airport Friday and injured his principal bodyguard only 20 feet from the secretary of state. A compartment on the plane and the shutters were drawn. The Secret Service agent, Walter Bothe, 33, of Alexandria, Va., suffered a deep scalp wound and a second wound on the right forearm. "You are damn lucky," Kissinger told Bothe after it was determined that he had not been injured seriously and that the shot came from inside the Boeing 707 when a case carrying the Israeli-made Uzi submachine gun had tumbled from a rack onto the floor. Bothe told a reporter that two other weapons cases were similarly jostled free toward the front of the blue-and-white jet as it taxied off the flight line. Martin Wolfe, a State Department physician, treated the injured agent. Fearing a terrorist attack, Kissinger hurried to his private singer. The bullet pierced the ceiling of the jet after passing through a cloth bag of Undersecretary of State Joseph J. Sisco. The incident delayed Kissinger's takeoff for Syria half an hour. Shortly after Kissinger arrived in Damascus he began talks with President Hafez Assad, who has said there will be no peace in the === **Page: 3 of 6** # Timbuktu Gains Charm ## After Drought's Horror By HENRY KAMM Special to The New York Times TIMBUKTU, Mali, Oct. 18 Timbuktu is the beautiful, changeless desert city of old once more, now that the drought is over and its victims have either left or died. On the feast day yesterday that marked the end of the one-month fast of Ramadan, sumptuously robed dignitaries crowded into the colonial mansion of the regional military governor to pay their respects. They were received by the Governor, Capt. Korcissy Tall, who in honor of the day had shed his paratrooper uniform and beret for an elegant white and gold robe and cap. Later, the turbaned elders, leaning on scepterlike staffs, joined the rest of Timbuktu's to come to life in flamboyant hues. At dark, Araby became tom-toms began to beat in the unlighted streets of low, stark mudhouses, and dancing began. Men and women danced separately. "Dancing together is an offense to the sense of shame," explained a young man who said he would not personally be offended. All was quiet on the sprawling expanse of sun-baked sand at the edge of town. Last year more than 10,000 nomads camped there for handouts of grain and for medical attention for those who had barely survived the hungry trek across the grass-less pastures and for more Continued on Page 20, Column 3 noon promenade on the market square of desert sand. Everyone was dressed in his finest robe. As groups gathered, blended and dissolved, "A Thousand and One Nights" seemed Starvation, measles or cholera. Now it looks more like a scout camp. Neatly aligned tents shelter only a few hundred nomads—old people and orphans mainly—who have no one to care for them and who have not been able to set out again to try to recreate their traditional way of life, which would depend largely on the animals they lost to the famine. No one in the camp showed signs of undernourishment. The town has resumed its ancient ways. It is no longer inundated by once-proud Tuareg herdsmen who had lost their camels, cattle, sheep and goats and thus had been reduced to selling their swords and their wives' jewelry or to begging for money or food. Beggars Are Children What the handful of remaining Tuareg offer for sale now are trinkets made for the tourist trade, many smuggled in from Mauritania. The only beggars are the usual smiling children who hold out their hands and continue smiling whether something is put in their palm or not. Most of the Tuareg left the camp during the rainy season, which this summer brought what the name promises. Although many had lost all their animals—the average loss in this pastoral region is estimated at 85 per cent—they left toward their old grazing grounds as grass began sprouting. They took with them, Capt. Tall said, three months' supply of grain and some powdered milk and cooking oil. Their hope is either to live off the animals that survived or to find clansmen who salvaged more of their animals and with them to reconstitute their herds and lives. In seven to ten years, experts believe, the nomads reconstituted their herds after earlier droughts, to which this region is periodically heir. "It is an experiment," Capt. Tall said. "It is bad for them to stay in the camps too long and lose the habit of work. They have to try to resume the work. But if they don't manage, we will have to see what we can do." Most Returned Last Year Informed sources reported that in a similar experiment last year, most came back to the camps. Those who did not leave voluntarily have recently been sent out by the administration to gather a kind of wild grain. It grows abundantly and is traditionally used to tide over people in the lean period, when the last year's crop is eaten up and the new crop not in yet. A number of Tuaregs remain near here, living precariously from occasional government handouts and the sale of the milk of their few remaining goats. "We have five left from 100," said a young woman, sitting on a mat outside a traditional low nomad shelter in the desert sand. Her husband seems to prefer to stay near Timbuktu because he occasionally earns a bit of money arranging camel rides for visitors. Those who stay around town strongly express traditional Tuareg animosity to the blacks who govern Mali. The Tuaregs, a Berber, Caucasian people, traditionally lived from the milk and meat of their animals and the work of the black slaves they captured in frequent raids on sedentary villages. Their attitude remains haughty to those of skin darker than theirs, and the governing powers feel little tenderness for the Tuaregs. But diplomatic observers believe that the Government has nonetheless fairly distributed food and other available assistance to the nomads.

J. Owens === **Page: 4 of 6** SCIENCE OF PARAPSYCHOLOGY SUFFERS WATERGATE-LIKE SETBACK Researcher Admits "Fixing" Data by MALCOLM ABRAMS A brilliant young researcher at the Institute for Parapsychology has confessed to "tampering and fixing" important research studies. In the world of science, this comes at a time when the world has reached an historic peak of interest in psychic phenomena. It's a scandal of Watergate proportions from which the science of parapsychology may have difficulty recovering. The researcher is 26-year-old Dr. Jay Levy. For five years he has been the shining star in the fledgling field of parapsychology. Honesty Intense, dedicated and loyal, his honesty was beyond question. He had already risen to the directorship of the Parapsychology Institute. His work was highly regarded both in the U.S. and in the international science community. Dr. Levy was called "the next great mind" in the science that deals with the unexplained powers of telepathy, clairvoyance and extrasensory perception. All that's over now. Fittingly, Dr. Levy's resignation was accepted by Dr. J. B. Rhine, head of the Foundation for Research on the Nature of Man. The 78-year-old pioneer in the study of psychic phenomena was the mentor and driving force behind Dr. Levy. And because the Institute is the major research arm of Dr. Rhine's Foundation, he was also Dr. Levy's boss. In an interview with MIDNIGHT, Dr. Rhine assessed his protege: "Dr. Levy is a brilliant chap," Dr. Rhine said. "He was without a doubt one of the most brilliant chaps working in our field. He had a great career in front of him. But now that's over. It is finished. He has moved on to another field. "It was a matter of a man wanting certain test results so badly that he did anything to get them. There was and is no excuse. Any talk about his future will have to come from him," Dr. Rhine said. Not Talking But Dr. Jay Levy is not talking about his future, or anything else. He is unreachable. So the story of what happened at the Institute of Parapsychology must come from others. Dr. Rhine supplied MIDNIGHT with many of the details. Additional information was gained from an interview with Dr. Levy's assistant James Davis. PAGE 2 - MIDNIGHT October 21, 1974 At the time of the scandal, Dr. Levy was testing rats for the power of psychokinesis, the ability to move or alter material objects by mental power alone. His results were alarmingly good. So good that his three assistants became suspicious. "We noted Dr. Levy working around one of the automatic data recording devices while experiments were being conducted. This is most unusual," Davis told MIDNIGHT. He decided to check the test results on another set of recording instruments without telling Dr. Levy. Then, while two of the researchers helped, Levy, the third hid and watched the young director. Dr. Levy was seen to tamper with the recorder, causing the scores to be higher. The second set of instruments confirmed their suspicions. The scores were lower. Cheating Dr. Levy was definitely cheating. Davis and his two colleagues reported their findings to Dr. Rhine. In an article just printed in the Journal of Parapsychology, Dr. Rhine tells the story from that point on. In his account however, to protect Dr. Levy, he has identified him only as "W". "I called W in and confronted him with these observations of his colleagues," Dr. Rhine writes in his report. "Within a matter of minutes he acknowledged the charges, and almost without further discussion he offered his resignation. Under the circumstances, of course I accepted it." DR. J.B. RHINE === **Page: 5 of 6** Levy's confession was met with remorse. But it too late. As he expressed his deep regret," Dr. Rhine recalls, "he added a few words about overwork during recent months. "When asked about the extent of this sort of practice over the five years of his research (including part time) at the Institute, he strongly confirmed that there had been no other instances whatever. This, of course, has to remain uncertain for the present." That uncertainty is tainting the work of honest parapsychologists around the world. Especially those who have based their own research on Dr. Levy's findings. More important still, the Levy scandal has cast a giant shadow over the credibility of psychic study. Worst Possible Time The blow has come at the worst possible time. Parapsychology, after four decades of struggle, was just being accepted as a legitimate science. In 1971, the Parapsychology Association was admitted to the American Association for the Advancement of Science. It was laboratories like those at the Institute for Parapsychology and reputations for integrity like Dr. Rhine's and Dr. Levy's that put it there. Dr. Robert Morris, president of the Parapsychology Association, had called Dr. Levy's research "among the most significant in the field." He has since asked for Dr. Levy's resignation from the association. "This whole thing serves as a reminder that you can't always take research findings at face value," Dr. Morris said. Dr. Rhine agrees. He told MIDNIGHT: "There are no gods in this business. We get results from the efforts of a team of hard-working and dedicated researchers. "The idea of putting faith in the personal honesty of a research worker is old-fashioned." Restore Integrity Now that the damage has been done, it is up to Dr. Rhine, Dr. Morris and others to restore integrity to parapsychology. "The first impact on the general public will be a bad one," Dr. Rhine confided to MIDNIGHT. "Such a disclosure makes the general public even more wary of a field that is hard to prove in the first place. "The more intelligent people, however, will realize that one man's deception will not mar an entire field. We are doing all we can to try and live this down and we will continue to do so." Warning Letters Sent For starters, Dr. Rhine sent warning letters to all persons planning to use Dr. Levy's work in articles, books or other presentations. Next, all of Dr. Levy's past papers and reports have been declared fraudulent. Finally, the validity of Dr. Levy's findings is to depend solely on follow-up studies by other researchers. The end result of the whole affair, Dr. Rhine hopes, will be a greater emphasis on scientific techniques. And less trust in individual integrity. But no amount of patchwork will ever blanket the scandal of Dr. Jay Levy. It will be discussed and debated for many years to come. Still, Dr. Rhine may have already spoken the last definitive words on the affair. "Dr. Levy was a very hard worker but his dedication was overshadowed by his ambition. Maybe that was his trouble. He was too ambitious." Oct. 4, 1974.....SCIENTISTS Just recently I was personally insulted by Dr. Levy...the same you read about here...BEFORE he did his "nutty thing." I wish I could fill you in on the details...but I had given my word to some people that I would not, so I cannot. However...the SI's and I were infuriated...and this is the result. For those who have followed me and my work for a long time...I refer you back to the time when two sports reporters challenged me to go to a pro football team and demonstrate a miracle. And Stan Hochman, of the Philadelphia Daily News wrote it up in the papers and confirmed it. And he added: "What flash of insanity provoked him (Tom Woodeshick) to rush off the bench with his fists flurrying?" (This was the miracle...I told the two reporters I would get Woodeshick out of the game...and within minutes he was thrown out of the game by officials...AND HE WASN'T EVEN ON THE FIELD PLAYING!) Name of article, Invisible Forces", by Stan Hochman, 9/30/68. If you might guess a parallel between that...and Levy...you might be right. The SI's and I...have a great deal of clout. * And concerning you...has all the details. But my mouth is sealed shut on this! I made a promise. === **Page: 6 of 6** Oct. 28, 1974 SCIENTISTS... For over ten years I have been working for, and with, UFO entities. Only I, of all humans, am able to telepath back and forth to them...for cause and effect...and document the results...as I have done for so long. Now my special, SI brain...which has been increasing in power exponentially year after year...is ready for its next big leap forward. I have just brought rains...thus food and water...to Africa, which had suffered a six-year drought. Now...am going to feed India's starving...in the same manner. Each day...I will telepath to the SI's...using different of the 150-odd communication symbols with which they have provided me, for the effects that I wish for them to bring to pass. I will ask that they bring their infinite powers to bear...to see that India's poor are fed...and in a thousand different ways, this will be brought about. Other-dimensional power...uses a "shotgun" principle. The "target" is signified by myself; my own powers are brought to bear on the target; I also bring the UFO's powers to bear on the target...and lo and behold, the "miracle" comes to pass after a time. Sometimes many factors enter into causing the "happening", as in getting rid of Nixon and his crooked cohorts...as well as other evil world premiers. Many many factors are brought to bear...on the "target"...to produce the wanted result. As far as I can see, there is no earthly way that I can prove that what I say is so (one critic-scientist recently stated that I was merely a precognitive marvel...or words to that effect...and proposed that I enter into a childish Zener card experiment with him. This would be the equivalent of asking Einstein to attend 5th grade of school to see if he could actually add and subtract...or asking Joe Namath to attend your local highschool football field, to see if he can really pass a football.) All that I can do...as I have been doing so successfully for long years...is continue to show you RESULTS...miraculous results, as usual...and notifying you in advance of the fact...what those results are going to be. And one of these days...when I am gone...you will see no more such miracles from any human. I am absolutely one of a kind...unique.

Tanaka Bows Out Kakuei Tanaka is a rare Japanese politician-an Oriental Horatio Alger who overcame both his humble beginnings and lack of education to scramble his way to the top. But recently the Prime Minister seemed to have lost that lean and hungry look. This one morning last week, Tanaka rose early, put in a call to his aging mother, paused briefly to feed his prize carp and then drove off to his official residence for a short, stiff-necked meeting with four elders of the ruling Liberal Democratic party. There, he announced his intention to become the first Prime Minister in postwar Japanese history to resign from office under a cloud of scandal. In bowing out, he touched off a complex struggle for the succession. Backstage maneuvering to oust Tanaka and pick a successor actually started several weeks ago when it became clear he couldn't survive an avalanche of charges against him. He faced an official investigation of his questionable methods of raising political funds, his irregular land dealings on which he built a personal fortune, and even the fact that he kept one-or more-mistresses in a tastelessly public way. The threat that such affairs might be exposed in embarrassing detail caused an excruciating family quarrel with his daughter Makiko that apparently tilted him in favor of resignation. "Politicians," remarked a Tanaka associate, "are able to weather trouble, outside their homes, but if they also have trouble in their own homes, then it will usually wreck them." In the end, Tanaka acknowledged his "personal shame" and said he regretted bringing "a torrent of rain" on the future of his country. With Tanaka gone, the most pressing order of business for the Liberal Democrats will be to paper up the cracks in party unity and pick a successor. That will not be easy. Tanaka's bulldozer tactics had left behind a residue of bitterness unparalleled in postwar politics. Among four major contenders for his job (page 57), the most likely candidates were former Finance Minister Takeo Fukuda, who helped bring Tanaka down by quitting the Cabinet last summer, and the current Finance Minister, Masayoshi Ohira, whom Tanaka and his powerful faction are supporting. In years past, liberal dollops of political money and behind-the-scenes horse-trading would have lined up the necessary votes to make one of them a certain winner. But the Tanaka scandal has made money politics taboo in Japan. As a result, there seemed a strong chance last week that each man might call out the other and open the way for one of two aging party war-horses, Etsusaburo Shiina or Shigesaburo Maeo, as interim leader. The trouble is that most Liberal Democrats feel a vital need for strong leadership to cleanse the party's soiled reputation and guide the country out of its current economic morass. Party Secretary-General Susumu Nikaido has been drinking many ritual cups of tea at the homes of party elders while he makes soundings for a consensus. The major contenders themselves, NEWSWEEK's Tokyo bureau chief Bernard Krisher reported, are lying low. "Everyone is staying home or in his office close to the phone," cabled Krisher. "Wives of politicians are calling other wives to try to get them to use their influence on their husbands. And no one is leaving Tokyo for fear that people might think that they are not important enough to be consulted on the succession." Fire Storm: However the struggle is resolved, no one expects a radical shift in policy. A Fukuda government might move a notch to the right in economic and other domestic affairs and could conceivably cool down Japan's new friendship with Peking. Ohira, on the other hand, would probably continue most of 54 Newsweek, December 9, 1974 Declaration in January Ver. Pilot Dec. 11, 1974 Critical Water Area NORFOLK-A portion, if not all, of Southeastern Virginia will be declared a critical groundwater area by the State Water Control Board in January, said Arthur Collins, director of planning for the Southeastern Virginia Planning District Commission. Collins Tuesday said he reached his conclusion through informal discussions with SWCB staff members. The board has been considering such a move since it held public hearings on the issue in Norfolk in September. Mrs. Wayne Jackson, a water Control Board member, said that, based on the testimony she heard at the hearing, the designation will be made when the SWCB meets Jan. 23-24. If declared, a critical groundwater area would mean that all wells drawing more than 50,000 gallons per day be registered with the state for monitoring, that there be no increased usage without a permit, and that no new wells using more than 50,000 gallons a day can be dug without SWCB approval.

RYAN Events seem to be closing in on the whites in Rhodesia and South Africa, as if an African version of the domino theory were at work today toward the eventual final end of the "white man's burden" on the Dark Continent. It may take time before a final punctuation mark is in place after centuries of white domination over the continent, but the current is strong and may prove irresistible in the long run. What began as a landslide of independence in the 1960s gathered such momentum that it reached the proportions of an avalanche, all but burying white colonial rule. Portugal, which had five centuries of uninterrupted rule over vast African areas, is finished now and there's not much white supremacy left. Remaining in ruling capacity thereafter will be about 4 million whites in South Africa, about 18 per cent of that nation's population, and a tiny minority of 250,000 in Rhodesia, only 4 per cent of its people. For the Rhodesian regime of Prime Minister Ian Smith, things already look desperate. So long as there were friendly Portuguese rule in Mozambique to the east and the regime of Prime Minister John Vorster to the south, it had seemed safe enough for Smith to defy his innumerable critics. But within six months or so, the Mozambique government will become unfriendly. The Portuguese will leave and Frelimo, the guerrilla organization that fought white rule for years, will take over under independence. There goes the railhead on the Indian Ocean upon which Smith's landlocked economy has relied. To the south, Vorster seems primarily interested in Vorster right now and in salvaging whatever is salvagable. That means the South African government cannot be expected for long to continue to be a prop under Smith. Already there are signs that Vorster's government is ready to offer some significant relaxation of the apartheid policy of strict segregation of races that had seemed so unalterably entrenched. As for his white colleague in Rhodesia, unless Smith himself can salvage something through concessions, he is unlikely to get much more direct help from South Africa. Vorster seems to have made it clear that he hopes to be able to do business with a stable black government in Rhodesia and that he probably would find it preferable to an unstable white one. The question now is whether Smith can actually salvage anything in the long run. In the north, he has been fighting a stubborn guerrilla movement that is allied with Frelimo, whence come training and probably arms. He is surrounded everywhere, except due south, by hostile black regimes. Some whites have been leaving with whatever assets they could take with them. For the Rhodesian white regime, then, the handwriting may already be visible on the wall. Should it crumble, South Africa will be all alone, and perhaps its days, too, may seem numbered. === **Page: 3 of 4** NY Times 12/3/74 Colts Count Blessings On Missing Plane Crash When the Baltimore Colts flew home from Buffalo yesterday on a Northwest Airlines charted flight, "there was no kidding, no joking, you could bear a pin drop," according to a team spokesman. "When the wheels hit the runway at Baltimore-Washington Airport, there was a roar of relief in the cabin," he added. The Colts, after losing on Sunday to the Bills in Buffalo, had been scheduled to go home on a Northwest chartered flight coming from John F. Kennedy Airport late Sunday afternoon. At 8 P.M., after the players had eaten dinner, the plane had not arrived and General Manager Joe Thomas decided the team would stay overnight in Buffalo. At 9:30 Colt officials learned that the plane had crashed near Bear Mountain, N.Y. They immediately told all members of the team so they could call their families and assure them of their safety. When Cotton Speyer called his folks in Port Arthur, Texas, his father couldn't believe it was him." Said Ernie Accorsi, the team's publicity director, "They had heard on television that the Colts' plane had gone down and that there were no survivors. Mrs. Speyer was pretty shook up." Some of the players were depressed when they learned the identity of the three crewmen who had perished in the crash. They had flown the Colts to Miami for a game three weeks ago. The team left the Buffalo airport yesterday at 12:30 P.M. with sleet and snow falling heavily. "It was a bad scene for a takeoff," said Accorsi. "There's not one guy on this team with a hangup about flying, but the atmosphere was pretty tense. There was silence for the whole hour in the air. We're all glad it was our last road game of the season."

The announcement said that unidentified assailants had fired from a vehicle that drew alongside the car carrying the three officials. Premier Edgardo Mercado Jarrin, who is also War Minister and Commander in Chief of the army, escaped injury, the statement said. But Gen. Javier Tantalean Vanini, the Minister of Fisheries in President Juan Velasco Alvarado's leftist Government, and Gen. Guillermo Arbulu, General Tantalean's brother-in-law, were wounded. They were taken to the military hospital in Lima, where they were reported in satisfactory condition. General Mercado's brother-in-law, Guillermo Neuman, who was driving the car, was uninjured. Bad Weather Is Linked To Small-Plane Crashes WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 (Reuters) - A Federal safety panel said today that bad weather was increasingly to blame for fatal crashes of small planes. The National Safety Transportation Board said that this trend developed since 1967 even though plane accidents from other causes were on the downswing. The finding was shown, the board said, in a special study of general aviation - nonairline - accidents from 1964 through 1972. During the eight years, 4,714 persons died in 2,026 general aviation accidents involving bad weather - 36.6 per cent of all fatal mishaps among nonairline planes. Such crashes have occurred "with disturbing regularity despite improvements in aircraft, instrumentation, training, training facilities, the air traffic control system, weather facilities, weather services and navigational aids," the board said.

Pilot Dec. 11, 1974 Oakland Team to Beat: La Virginian-Pilot Wire Reports Dallas coach Tom Landry predicts Oakland is the team to beat for the Super Bowl. "Oakland is the only consistent team going right now," Landry said. For the first time since 1966, the Cowboys are not in it. Washington put the Cowboys out of the playoffs by defeating Los Angeles Monday night. Landry refused to criticize the Rams for less than a sparkling performance against the Redskins. "I believe you ought to be in control of your own destiny," he said. "We should have won some crucial games. We didn't earn the right to be in the playoffs." Although Dallas won seven out of its last eight games and owns an 8-5 record going into Saturday's finale with Oakland, there will be no playoff money this year for the Cowboys. The Redskins' 23-17 victory over the Rams put Dallas in the position of still being able to tie the Redskins and St. Louis but trailing both teams in the important tie-breakers. Landry said he was proud of his team's comeback from a disastrous 1-4 start. TOM LANDRY Proud Of Comeback "It was important that we came back from where we were... we had a chance every game. It was a credit to our players," said Landry, adding he doesn't feel his perennial power-house took a step backward this year. "Some may disagree," he said. "We, of course, didn't have a good training camp and had some tough going early. But we showed a lot of pride." As for himself, Landry said he was going to get in some Christ-mas shopping right after the Oakland game. "For the first time in nine years, I can take all the time I want." BILL KILMER said he didn't think the Rams played up to Some of my critics say I "imagine" my working connection... with the Si'x (N.F.L.). Well, before this pro season began...

Text Any textual data included in the document === **Filename: 750127.pdf** FROM THE DESK OF Mr. Ted Owens (PKMAN) Jan. 27, 1975 Dr. Edis, quon sus amigos Drs Martin and Mucho... Box 48 Cape Charles, Virginia 23310 A note in two parts...first to thank you fellows for repairing this busted mechanism. Am grateful for it. (Bilateral hernia repair.) Second...Wanted to give you some suggestions that I think would be helpful for patients like myself having the same thing done. A brochure, I think...would be most helpful given to them just pre-op...so that they would know what to expect, and how to handle it. The evening before my operation...I used auto-hypnosis...and filled in for my subconscious mind...what was going to happen. I told it...that my body was going to be violated...cut upon...but not to be concerned about it because it would be done safely, and would be done to repair my body...a necessity. Then I used mental imagery to show my subconscious what the actual operation would be like...pictures shown in a medical book of the hernia repair. So...it was ready and there should have been no typical shock or bodily reaction, since the subconscious was alerted and ready to cooperate. Next...I was operated on between 3 and 4, I think, on Monday afternoon. All that evening and night...I deferred on pain shots...every time the nurse offered me them (which seemed like on the hour, but I was drowsy and could be wrong on that.) The point is...I was trying to take advantage of the fact that my body actually had pain. You see, normally...our body is not filled with pain. But an operation of this sort...gives one a priceless opportunity to learn about bodily pain; and to test the pain-threshold. I found that I could stand pain rather easily. 2 S'posin that ten years from now...I'd get stomach cancer or something like that. Well, after experimenting after your operation...I have a good idea of the amounts of pain I can stand...and over what period of time. In other words...if, after such an operation...one wills to go without pain shots or pain pills...just in order to learn what one can of pain in the body...how much one can stand...then one is way ahead of the game. Furthermore...I made a game out of it. I made friends with the pain. Joined it, rather than tensed against it. Told it it was welcome...and to blend, in with me. This seemed to work...it felt pain, but it didn't hurt. After I found out what I wanted to know...about Tuesday evening, I think it was...I took a red pain pill and dropped my pain learning program, since it was no longer necessary. (And by the way...you sent me home to Virginia with a large bottle of red pain pills. I've been home now for about ten days, and have only used two pills out of the bottle.) Next...as you know, I got out of bed and began to walk the morning after the operation. Which is as it should be. That was Tuesday morning. And I practiced a lot that day, walking up and down the hall. That evening the nurse that went off at 3:30 came in and ordered me to walk again. I told her that I'd do better than that...and sprung up into the air and danced around the room...then ran out into the hall and ran down the hall to the desk at the far end, then ran back again to the room. Ran, not walked. I was curious in my mind to see if I could...and it was easy to do. Now, I do not know if anyone could do that the day after a double hernia repair...but it was easy for me to do. (I was concerned the next day, after thinking about it...that I might have pulled stitches loose...but you reassured me on that.) Another point...you know how the nurse has to lift the patient's legs up onto the bed after an abdominal operation? Mine did, and it irked me. Because I felt that I'd recuperate faster if I had no help like that. That's a long distance to swing one's feet up onto a painful operation. Okay. It can easily be done by the patient...without any help from the nurse...allowing the patient to get in and out of bed on his own at any time. Simply sit on the bed...hook a toe underneath the stool nearby...drag it over...swing the left foot up and then the right foot...then slide the stool with the feet over beside the bed...and repeat...left foot up onto the bed, right foot and that's that. Simple. Yet I am sure most patients would not figure that out, or know about it...which is why a little brochure would teach them about it...and free the bothersome calls to help the patient get in and out of bed. (To get out of bed, the process is simply reversed, using the sliding stool.) Finally...the nurses could not understand why I had the heat turned off in the room...and the room was ice-cold. Simple. Remember...I was working in full cooperation with my subconscious mind...and that was what it wanted. Why? Because my body was building up heat...to repair the cutting done on it.

BREZHNEV ... reportedly ill MOSCOW (AP) - Soviet offi- cials were either unavailable or not talking Saturday about an In- dian news report that Leonid I. Brezhnev had relinquished his duties as Communist party lead- er because of illness. The Press Trust of India (PTI), quoting informed sources in Moscow, said the 68-year-old Brezhnev "has taken leave of his responsibilities" because of ex- haustion, age, illness, and emo- tional stress caused by his mother's death last week. The report did not say he had resigned. PTI said Brezhnev "evidently is resting and under- going treatment not far from Moscow but is available to his colleagues for urgent counsel." The agency did not list any spe- cific illness. PTI, an independent agency owned by Indian newspapers as a cooperative, said that its sources "summarily dismiss talk of a power struggle as the cause of or the likely consequence of Brezhnev's withdrawal." In a related development, Brit- ish Broadcasting Corp. and an- other Indian news agency, the United News of India, reported that Mrs. Gandhi had postponed a planned visit to Moscow next month. An Indian Foreign Ministry spokesman said no date for the visit had ever been set "and so the question of postponement does not arise." Reports on Brezhnev's health have circulated in the foreign press for weeks, and he has been variously reported suffering from pneumonia, heart trouble, and leukemia. During that time, Soviet spokesmen have refused to com- ment or even respond to inquires on the subject. Tass, the official Soviet news agency, reported last week that Brezhnev attended the funeral of his 87-year-old mother and at that time described speculation about his health as "groundless inventions." But the agency has not yet dis- tributed promised photos of Brezhnev at the cemetery. The Soviet press has continued to mention Brezhnev's name fre- quently. Saturday's edition of Pravda had it five times. Speculation on Brezhnev's health began last month after he postponed a planned planned trip to Egypt. He failed also to meet Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam or Japanese For- eign Minister Kiichi Miyazawa during their recent visits to Mos- cow, although both leaders want- ed to see him.

Times/Washington Post News Service WARSAW--Soviet Party Sec- retary Leonid Brezhnev suffered a heart attack Dec. 19, his 68th birthday, reliable sources said here Tuesday. The sources said Brezhnev, a heavy smoker, had suffered two previous heart attacks. The sources said Brezhnev is resting and will officially resume his activities when British Prime Minister Harold Wilson visits Moscow next month. The sources said the heart attack had not affected Brezhnev's position in the ruling Soviet Politburo. They added, however, that be- cause of his health Brezhnev is thinking of stepping down next year after the Soviet Communist Party Congress. He would still keep his Politburo seat. The sources named as his like- liest successor as party leader Fedoro Kulakov, a member of the Politburo and central com- mittee secretary in charge of ag- riculture. 1/22/75 ... SI WORK ON PREMIERS, ETC. my predict banks will fail's beginning everywhere soon. Gwens A3 Virginian-Pilot, Monday, January 20, 1975 Foundering Bank Is Sold WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Security National Bank of Hempstead, N.Y., with $1.8 billion in assets and facing failure, was sold today to the giant Chemical Bank of New York City, the nation's seventh largest bank. All depositors of Security National will automatically become depositors of the Chemical Bank, which takes over "virtually all other liabilities," said James E. Smith, U.S. comptroller of currency. Chemical said it paid $40 million in cash to acquire Security National, the nation's 55th largest bank. Details of the purchase were to be announced by Chemical Bank today. The purchase had to be approved by the Federal Reserve Board and the New York state superintendent of banks after Smith's finding that "external forces and public confidence have adversely affected the operations and condition of Security to the point that an emergency exists," the FRB said. Bill Foster, a spokesman for the comptroller, said, "Security was faced with probable failure unless the takeover could be arranged. That finding (by Smith) was necessary in order to permit the Boards of Directors to enter into the transactions without prior approval of the shareholders." The FRB said that Chemical Bank's action "will minimize the secondary effects of uncertainty and doubt on banking and financial markets generally." Chemical has assets of $17.8 billion. As of Monday, all 98 offices of Security were to become branches of Chemical, which already has 181 offices in the New York area. The surprise deal was worked out Saturday and Sunday by the Boards of Directors of the two banks, who were given approval by New York state superintendent of banks, the Federal Reserve Board, and the U.S. comptroller, whose office oversees all national banks. Smith said the purchase was a "very constructive result for the Security National Bank shareholders and depositors for the Chemical Bank and for the public interest in a stable and healthy banking system." It was third major banking failure in recent months. The Franklin National Bank of New York, the nation's 20th largest, was declared insolvent by the federal government last October after it lost nearly $40 million in foreign currency dealings. The bank was taken over by a consortium of six large European banks. The worst previous bank failure came in late 1973 when the U.S. National Bank of San Diego went into receivership. but your money out of your stocks. liquidate Gwens 1/24/75 CHICAGO SUN-TIMES, Sun., Jan. 5, 1975 # If the rich are like us, # Hunts prove we're in trouble By Charles Foley The Observer, London DALLAS-People at the Texas State Fair a few years back were startled to find, at a modest booth displaying his products, the lofty figure of Haroldson Lafayette Hunt, smiling benignly at the world of which he owned so large a slice and doling out 3 pound plastic bags of goodies. "Takers found inside copies of Hunt's book 'Alpaca,' which explains why the rich should inherit the Earth; a packet of his 'Life Line Freedom Talks,' which told how the Communists will probably do so instead, and a free sample of Gastro-matic, an H. L. Hunt product guaranteed to dispel painful gas, of which the oil billionaire was a victim. In blue bow-tie, with tufts of white hair at his ears, Hunt looked like the kindly judge n an Andy Hardy move. "I'm here to save the Republic," he affirmed, in reedy tones. "The Kremlin plans to take us over in three years. Read my books and you'll see!" Now Hunt is dead, at 85, and the horrendous tangle of law- suits, charges and countercharges, dirty linen and unclosed skeltons he has left to hs hers indicate that, if the Hunts are typical American zillionaires, the rich are in grave trouble. The lid has come off a bizarre family feud for the old man's money. It involves wiretapping, purloined papers, charges of bribery, plea-bargaining in high places and an exotic dash of international high politics that pits Al Fatah's guerrillas against the Federal Bureau of Investigation. A hush-hush yearlong investigation into the affair by the Justice Department is about to end with a string of in- dictments. Caught in the web of the inquiry are a ranking senator from Texas; hs former governor, John B. Connally; a brace of Richard M. Nixon's attorneys-general and, of course, the former President himself, without whom no scandal these days is complete. Among the Big Rich of Big D-as Dallas residents like to call their city-it was long believed that the Hunt problems began some two decades ago when HLH's first wife, Lyda Bunker, was dying of cancer. Hunt grew dependent on his personal secretary, Ruth Ray Wright, who was 30 years his junior. The first Mrs. Hunt had been dead two years when, in 1957, HLH married the girl. This move confronted the six children of his first bed-Lamar, Nelson Bunker, W. Herbert, H. L. Jr., Margaret and Carolyn-with a stepmother in their own age bracket and four healthy young rivals in the next-of- kin stakes: her children, Ray Lee, June, Helen and Swanee. The four were at first attributed to "a former marriage," but some time after Hunt formally adopted them, the second Mrs. Hunt revealed-apparently to strengthen their claims on the inheritance-that her husband was, indeed, their father. Ruth, an enthusiastic member of the local Baptist choir, get her mind to converting HLH-no more gambling or ci- gars-and eventually led the old man, along with his new family, to Dallas' First Baptist Church, the largest in the world, where under the egis of Billy Graham all six were baptized by immersion together. course, Ray Lee left college to go into real estate, a deline; June went on tour as a gospel singer and Helen wannee married. Their husbands were taken into the busi- ness. Both branches of the family presented the patriarch with grandchildren and great-grandchildren until the total of pan- tative beneficiaries rose to 48. Hunt, a onetime farm boy, lumberjack and cowhand, struck it rich in the 1920s. Old hands swear that he got his start by staking $50,000 in poker winnings on a property that turned out to cover a lake of oil 45 miles by 9 miles. When the money rolled in, he would risk thousands on a horse or the turn of a card. The money still rolls in today on an ever-mounting tide, in line with the high profits throughout the oil industry. Im- mense reserves await tapping, when prices soar still further. All this is in addition to real estate holdings, timber, a canning plant, drug companies, ranchland and cattle. Hunt refused to bid for anything he could not own outright. He must have absolute control: no pesky shareholders, direc- tors, balance sheets for public disclosure. Hunt Oil was a private company, and on its affairs, "Rich men are ill- advised to call attention to their wealth in any way," he snapped, when asked why there were No Hunt foundations for health, education, the arts. HLH did spend some millions on the fervidly anti-Commu- nist 'Life Line' broadcasts he sponsored on 541 radio stations, but because they enjoyed tax-exempt status, this favorite hob- by horse was exercised entirely at Uncle Sam's expenses. Four years ago, Hunt's grip on his affairs began to slacken. He was confined first to a wheel chair, tended always by Ruth, then to a hospital bed. The old guard at Hunt Oil began get- ting orders from plump Vice President Nelson Bunker, the heir-apparent, and his closely allied brother, Herbert. One executive who resented the change was Paul M. Rother- mel Jr., for 15 years HLH's confidant, bodyguard and whip- ping boy. Rothermel, a former FBI man and an attorney, had known and admired the second Mrs. Hunt throughout that time. He also knew that Hunt, while putting enough in trust funds to make his first six children multimillionaires in their own right, had given scant thought to Ruth's family. "Mr. Hunt approving transactions I might make on his behalf. So I felt a duty to persuade him in 1969 to change his will to benefit the second family. But when the first lot heard of this, some odd things happened." Rothermel's wife, Joyce, wondered about two men in a red Thunderbird always outside her home. The driver, questioned by police, turned out to be a private eye, one J.J. Kelly. "When I asked if he was on a divorce case," a policeman said later, "he stepped on the gas and took off. If he hadn't panicked, none of this would have come out." In the car were $40,000 worth of tapping equipment and some 100 tapes of bugged conversations. But J.J. Kelly stayed defiantly mute, even when the FBI discovered wiretaps on Rothermel and the homes of three other Hunt Oil executives. Kelly and his lieutenant, Patrick McCann, were confident that "dollar power" would see them through. Instead, they re- ceived three years apiece. Furious, they turned state's evi- dence, and proudly disdaining hush money, according to their story - at last named their paymasters. Bunker and Herbert were brought to court, Texas style, in steel bracelets and chains, to be indicted on wiretapping charges. Kelly confessed that he'd been beguiled by "men of vast fortunes who merely wanted to escalate their wealth and power." NELSON BUNKER HUNT LAMAR HUNT W. HERBERT HUNT The Hunts recovered the legal initiative with a suit against Rothermel - who had by now left their father's employ - and two executives associated with him. It was alleged that they siphoned off scores of millions of dollars into dummy com- panies, and it was simply to trace these funds that the detec- tives had been hired. The two executives protested in court that groundless em- bezzlement charges had been brought "simply to discredit and coerce us as pawns in the struggle for the Hunt fortune." They also raised some eyebrows by contending that, on behalf of the Hunts, they had undertaken numerous clandestine deals in- volving "holders and seekers of office, labor leaders, profes- sional sports figures." Then Kelly sued Bunker and company for $100 million com- plaining they had ruined his reputation and career, even threatened him with force. Not to be left out, the Rothermels stepped in with a $1.5-million suit against the Hunts. Mrs. Rothermel, a psychiatrist's aide, complained of eavesdropping on her patients. Rothermel, who had access to the old man's files for years, is busy on a book about it all - he'd like the world to know more about "the man who played God." Rothermel said HLH allowed his sons to bring their suits "to keep peace in the family" - a somewhat forlorn hope. Now that his influence has gone, Bunker's instincts will take over. A weighty, more aggressive chip off the old block, Nelson Bunker Hunt, 48, is the family's business brain. His gambling streak has lately been channeled into the commodities market in silver and sugar, as well as into racehorse owning and breeding on an international scale. The Hunt lawyers allege that originally Nixon and his men promised Bunker immunity in exchange for certain (unspeci- fied) favors. "Our clients performed," they say, "but in- dictments were handed down anyway." The deal, according to Hunt Oil sources, was a perfectly proper" tradeoll. Wiretap charges would be dropped if the Hunts give the FBI a list of Al Fatah agents in the United States. At that time, in 1972, the Nixonites had evidence that Al Fatah was seeking a foothold in America. They even feared an attempt on Mrs. Golda Meir, who was soon to visit New York. The FBI had burgled the offices of the Arab Information Cen- ter in Dallas, where the Hunts had contacts - with what success is not known. Next the FBI turned to the Hunts, who were in a position to know Al Fatah personnel in the U.S. Bunker had high-level friends in the Arab world, who were trying to help him dissuade Libya's Col. Mummar Kadaki from taking over the Hunt oil wells in the Libyan desert. Libya was Bunker's fief. He had negotiated in person the deals that had given Hunt International its vast holdings there, and he had celebrated the inauguration of the empire with a 'ball' for 500 (tax deductible) guests in London with three name bands flown there from the United States. Because of the dispute with Kadafi, which had promised to deal America, in the shape of Bunker Hunt, "a slap in its cold, arrogant face," there had been threats from Al Fatah, which the Libyan revolutionary subsidized. Bunker was a target for assassination or kidnapping, and he had made his own investigations into the terrorist group's U.S. complement. At a Texas barbecue in autumn, 1972, Bunker met Nixon personally on the estate of their friend, John Connally, who was then destined for high office and might help bring Kadafi to heel. Bunker complained about Kissinger's inertia over Libya (if they would not send in the Marines, at least they could blockade Tobruk), and asked that the wiretap charges against him be dropped. Through clouds of smoke from barbecuing steer, Hunt Sr. could be heard blasting the administration for "trailing our flag in the dust." Soon after this encounter, Bunker met the Justice Department's new boss, Richard G. Kleindienst, and, it is alleged, discussed the tradeoff with him over lunch at the ranch of their old friend, James O. Eastland (D-Miss.), head of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee. If the Nixonites got their Al Fatah list - and many here believe it was instrumental in helping the FBI foil a bomb plot against Mrs. Meir in March, 1973, when three cars stuffed with explosives were discovered before they could be set off - why did they default on the deal? The answer is Watergate: Nixon flinched from involvement in another scandal and cover-up. As for that Libyan oil, it had been expropriated by Kadafi anyway in May, 1973, and the White House had no intention of looking for more trouble. With the fall of Kleindienst over Watergate in April, 1973, the Justice Department under its new broom started a clean-up. An inquiry into the Hunt affair and the alleged tradeoff began. A grand jury, having secretly heard out the actors in this Texan melodrama, is preparing up to a score of indictments against politicians and others both here and in Washington, D.C. For Bunker, it has been one disaster after another. He has lost Arab friends by trying to win immunity via the Al Fatah list. He has lost all holdings he estimates are worth $25 billion. He could yet go to jail on those wiretapping charges. And, as Paul Rothermel predicted, the HLH's will leaves the bulk of his estate to his second wife and family, including his home and all his shares in Hunt Oil. Bunker might contest the will, but then there is the clause that H. L. Hunt, wily to the last, inserted in that document as his own Catch 22: Anyone who attempts to challenge it "loses and forfeits all right and title" to what he has been given.

Many of you...have written...and wanted to get into contact with, or see...the UFO's that I work with and for,(and have for ten years). Some of you...want your brain modified...as my brain has been, by the UFO's. Up until now...I have had no answer for you. But now...I have an answer. The UFO's just guided me to Scotland, then to England...and re-modified my brain. While there...I brought out UFO's...and it is documented in newspaper clippings and the statements of witnesses...so what I tell you thusly is quite valid. But just as important...while over there...they instructed me how to bring other humans there...who might want to make contact with them...or have their brains modified. If you are interested in this...you will have to send me $5,000 in advance. Then I will set up a time for you to leave the United States, and you will have to get a passport for same. (We can work this timing out between us.) With the money you have provided, I will pay your way to New York, where we will rendezvous. Then we will fly to Inverness, Scotland, together. (Once you've paid the five thousand...I will take care of all the rest of the expenses.) From there we will take a taxi to Drumnacrochit, Scotland, and take rooms in the Glenurquhart Lodge. I will arrange for a private chauffeur then to take us to an old, isolated, haunted castle...Urquhart Castle on the banks of Loch Ness (where the Loch Ness Monster lives)...night after night, at midnight... to rendezvous with the UFO intelligences. Once we have finished there...we will fly to Salisbury, England...and we will repeat the same action at Old Sarum Castle, night after night. Also we will go to the famous Stonehenge...which I will activate, in order to bring powers to bear upon our purpose. Next we will take a train to Warminster, England...and we will arrange for a third chauffeur to take us nightly...to the famous Cradle Hill... where I just recently had as many as five (5) UFO's overhead in one single night! During all this time and action...the UFO's will have had an excellent opportunity...through my services...to change your brain to a higher type of brain...and also you will probably be able to see quite a few UFO's. (I witnessed at least fifteen, on my swing through those points!) Then we will return to the United States, and home. And you would probably never be the same person again...but a changed brain! Now, I do not like to leave my home and family...therefore I will only take one or two persons a year...on this "UFO safari". So, first come, first served. Be prepared to spend from one to two weeks on the adventure. And remember...you must have a lot of nerve. We will be creeping stealthily into old castles at midnight...in the moonlight...with perhaps only an owl hooting. You might see the Loch Ness Monster...I saw it twice with my own eyes. And I say that you will probably see UFO's also, near us. So if you want the adventure of your life, send $5,000, have your passport ready...and leave the rest up to me.

Ronnie Orsinger of Cape Charles and Bernard Smith of Exmore left Willis Wharf on the ocean side of the peninsula about 3 p.m. Friday. They were piloting a 22-foot oyster barge to King's Creek near Cape Charles, according to the Coast Guard. The two men were reported to have cruised a mile-wide passage protected from the ocean by islands. They were to have turned at the peninsula's tip for Cape Charles. Relatives of the men became concerned when the barge did not appear at Cape Charles when it was due Saturday afternoon. Two Coast Guard utility boats from Kiptopeke and Chincoteague in addition to a helicopter searched an area around the peninsula, but by late Sunday afternoon the units had found no trace of the men. Yet another bad President, King, Premier, etc, removed by UFO's and myself! Owens Va. Pilot April 22, 1975 Thieu Resigns By EDWIN Q. WHITE SAIGON (AP)-President Nguyen Van Thieu resigned Monday to pave the way for a political settlement of the Vietnam War. But it could be too late to keep the Communists from seizing the last quarter of South Vietnam by force. Scientist... if a world leader is was-oriented, or obstructing peace... as I've said before... the UFO's and I... will get them removed. Owens The Virginian-Pilot ESTABLISHED NOVEMBER 21, 1865 Page A8 Tuesday, April 22, 1975 After So Much Lying South Vietnamese President Thieu's resignation was no more pleasant than the rest of the story. But like Saigon's doom, it was inevitable. Indeed, the Ford Administration last week indicated, while continuing to insist from the other side of its mouth that South Vietnam could save itself if only Congress would supply it funds, that Mr. Thieu's departure would be welcome. For the onrushing Communists long since had vowed never again to try to negotiate a cease-fire or settlement with Mr. Thieu. Perhaps he got out too late. He seemed to recognize the possibility when he said "I resign to see, after there is no more Mr. Thieu, whether negotiations will be satisfactory." Or did he speak only in bitterness? Certainly he was bitter toward the United States. He accused Secretary of State Kissinger of delivering "our people to such a disastrous fate"-an unfair denunciation, but understandable, considering the flamboyance of the role Mr. Kissinger had played for President Nixon and then for himself and President Ford in Indochina. Poor Mr. Kis- singer. He caught it also from the Viet Cong's Provisional Revolutionary Government in Paris. The Viet Cong was mistrustful of the Thieu resignation. "The Nguyen Van Thieu clique must be overthrown and replaced by an administration wishing peace, independence, democracy, and national concord," it said. As flagrantly as it and its North Vietnamese ally had violated the 1973 Paris peace accords, it was justified at least in its suspicion that Mr. Thieu never intended to meet the peace terms either, especially the article calling for a National Council of Reconciliation and Accord. Whether the Communists will regard Vice President Tran Van Huong, who succeeded to the South Vietnamese presidency, as being above the "Thieu clique" is doubtful, despite Mr. Huong's reputa- fer of its good offices to the belligerents in an urgent call for negotiations was, however, a practical step toward diplomacy, an invitation for all the 1973 Paris signatories to inject international responsibility into the Vietnam War's wreckage. Mr. Thieu's parting blast at the United States should be kept in perspective. It should be no influence in Washington's decisions on how to meet its humanitarian obligations to the South Vietnamese people. Generosity will not atone for old mistakes, but it should prove beneficial to American unity while easing the American sorrow-the American humiliation-of a lost cause. Barbara Tuchman, herself a historian of great accomplishment, may have forecast history's judgment of America's Indochina adventure when she said the other day that President Johnson lied us into South Vietnam, President Nixon lied us into Cambodia, and President Ford and Secretary Kissinger were lying us out of the area. Once the American government has finished this last withdrawal, it should rededicate it-self to simple truth. A8 Virginian-Pilot Wednesday, April 23, 1975 # Military Ousts Chief of Honduras ## Tax Bribe On Bananas In Probe TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — The Honduran military ousted Gen. Oswaldo Lopez Arellano as chief of state Tuesday shortly after he was reported to have refused to let a commission investigating a banana-tax bribe examine his foreign bank accounts. Two weeks ago United Brands Co. acknowledged paying $1.25 million to high officials of this Central American country to gain lower banana export taxes. The company did not name any officials, but the Wall Street Journal reported that the money went to Lopez Arellano. He called the report “slanders” and set up the investigating body. “An announcement on national radio said the military took the step against Lopez Arellano “to safeguard the integrity and honor of the country.” First reports indicated that the coup d’etat was bloodless. The streets of Tegucigalpa were peaceful, with no unusual troop movements. The radio announcement said Col. Juan Alberto Melgar, 45, had replaced Lopez Arellano, 53, as head of state. Younger officers had already nudged Lopez Arellano out of his post as head of the armed forces, ostensibly to allow him more time for affairs of state. Melgar took over the military job March 31. University rector Arturo Reina, chairman of the banana investigating commission, released a statement Tuesday morning saying that all officials under investigation had given the commission power to look at their foreign bank accounts except for Lopez Arellano. The national leader, he said, “is obstructing the work” of the commission. Then Reina left on a flight for the United States to continue the investigation, and Lopez Arellano was ousted a short time later. United Brands, which sells Chiquita brand bananas in the United States, acknowledged the $1.25 million payment after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed suit against the company accusing it of transferring money to Honduran officials through a Swiss bank account. A banana tax of $1 on each 40-pound box was set in April 1974 by the Honduran government, but it was not collected, and the tax was reduced to between 25 and 30 cents a box. It was the 23rd coup d’etat in Honduras’ 151 years of independence. Lopez Arellano had held power by virtue of two coups. He first took power in 1963 by ousting President Ramon Villeda. He was later elected to a constitutional term and served as president from 1965 to 1969. He seized power again in 1972 by overthrowing elected President Ramon E. Cruz. Honduras, with 2.8 million people, has a weak economy based on the export of bananas, sugar, and coffee. Hurricane Fifi last September devastated the northern agricultural area.

THE NEW YORK TIMES MONDAY, APRIL 14, 1975 Sadat's Premier Steps Down In Cairo Public-Welfare Drive By HENRY TANNER Special to The New York Times CAIRO, April 13-President Anwar el-Sadat today accepted the resignation of Premier Abdel Aziz Hegazi. Informed Government sources said that Mr. Sadat's choice as new premier was Mamdouk Salem, a former police officer who has been Interior Minister for four years but no announcement to this effect was made pending a televised address by Mr. Sadat tomorrow night. Mr. Salem has had the rank of Deputy Premier for the last two years. A new Cabinet will be named later this week, with several new ministers. Foreign Minister Ismail Fahmy, who has played a key role in Mr. Sadat's policy of close cooperation with the United States, is expected to retain his job and to be promoted to Deputy Premier. Mr. Sadat is understood to be anxious to underline the continuity of his foreign policy. Mr. Fahmy is scheduled to fly to Moscow on Saturday for talks with the Soviet leaders. According to informed Government sources there were two principal reasons for the change of premiers. First, Mr. Salem is expected to exert tighter control over the Cabinet and the country than did Mr. Hegazi, who is an accountant by training and who confined himself almost exclusively to economic affairs. Secondly, the new premier is expected to try, at Mr. Sadat's request, to increase social benefits and wages for those who have suffered most from inflation and shortages of food and other consumer goods. Mr. Hegazi, whose prime objective was economic development, has fought wage demands. During the last few months he has been locked in a dispute over this issue with Mr. Salem, and Sayed Marei, the president of the National Assembly. He has been criticized during an Assembly debate and in the newspapers. Last week it became clear that he was losing his fight when President Sadat ordered that a new law giving wage increases to civil servants be amended to include the workers in the public sector, which accounts for most of the country's economy. The feeling that only the wealthy are benefiting from the Government's policy of economic liberalization has led to sporadic social unrest-most recently in the form of violent clashes between workers and policemen at a state-owned textile factory employing 48,000 workers at Mehalla, in the delta. Mr. Salem, Mr. Marei and Mr. Fahmy are believed to be the officials most frequently consulted by President Sadat. Mr. Hegazi, who is not a politician by temperament, was not thought to belong to the inner circle. Persons familiar with Mr. Sadat's thinking had reported for some time that the President would like to make Mr. Salem premier but said that he hesitated because he felt that the appointment of a former police officer was politically undesirable. In an interview with The New York Times yesterday Mr. Sadat was asked whether the recent increase of tension between Israel and the Arabs could cause him to go back on his policy of political and economic liberalization at home. His answer was emphatic: "No, that policy is irreversible." Scientists... You think 20 some odd Presidents, Kings, Premiers, etc, being gotten rid of in a year time... might be a weird coincidence?

THE NEW YORK TIMES, MONDAY, APRIL 14, 1975 President of Chad Is Killed During a Military Take-Over NDJAMENA, Chad, April 13 (Agence France-Presse) — Soldiers stormed the Presidential Palace here early today and killed the President in a coup d'etat. The acting army chief of staff, Gen. Noel Odingar, announced the military take-over in this north central African nation in a statement broadcast by the national radio shortly after the attack on the palace. Immediately after the attack it was reported that several military officers arrested April 2 on charges of plotting against the President, Ngarta Tombalbaye, who had ruled Chad since her independence from France in 1960, had been released from prison by General Odingar. A communiqué broadcast by the military said that President Tombalbaye "died as a result of wounds received during the attack on the Presidential Palace by the Chad armed forces despite efforts made to save him." General Odingar, who has apparently taken over the Government, was also reported to have been wounded in the fighting at the palace, but he was able to announce the army coup in the national radio broadcast. Following the announcement, shouts of "Long live the armed revolution," could be heard in the streets of the capital. The military said in its communiqué that social discrimination, a policy imposed by the Tombalbaye regime, had provoked animosity between tribes and useless spilling of blood. Chad, which is just south of Libya, is an economically poor country that has been torn by violence almost continually since 1962, when President Tombalbaye pushed through a new constitution banning all political parties but his own Progressive party. The violence grew from conflicts between the mainly Moslem peoples of the north and the Bantu peoples of the south. President Tombalbaye, who changed his first name from Francois to Ngarta and the name of the capital from Fort Lamy to Ndjamena in 1973 during a period of Africanization, was a southern Bantu of the Sara tribe. Today's coup, however, was apparently led by Bantu military officers. The military communiqué charged that the fundamental principal of the Tombalbaye regime had been "to divide in order to rule" and that under it the political and economic situation of the country had "never ceased to deteriorate." The communiqué also charged that the military had been humiliated and ridiculed by the former President, an apparent reference to recent statements by Mr. Tombalbaye in which he accused the army of acting as a "state within a state" and said that he was going to make radical changes in the army command. The first stirrings of the army move came at the beginning of the month with the news of two mysterious fires at the arsenals of the Chad Security Company and an incident at the national gendarmerie headquarters where three Frenchmen were shot and seriously wounded. The shooting were by two prisoners who managed to disarm their guard. An official announcement said, however, Mr. Tombalbaye ordered the arrest of both the commander and the deputy commander of the gendarmerie and lashed out at the army. They were among those released following the coup. The coup began last night with the movement into the city of army units from a camp at Bokoro, 35 miles outside the capital, military sources said. The units were under the command of a young officer whose name was given only as Djimtoloin. On arrival in the capital the young officer went to the security forces camp where an initial attack took place. The troops then moved on to the presidential residence, where they opened fire on the President's special guard. It was in this first outbreak of fighting around the residence that Mr. Tombalbaye was mortally wounded, sources said. The rest of the Chad Army units garrisoned here then joined in the coup action under the orders of General Odingar. Unconfirmed reports said that there were heavy casualties during the fighting at the Presidential Palace, which lasted several hours and included a light artillery attack by the coup forces. At the end of the morning, sporadic rifle shots could still be heard in Ndjamena, although the city appeared to be calm otherwise. When the shooting began some of the 3,000 French expatriates estimated to be in the capital sought refuge with marines stationed at the French base area north of here. The French residents later returned to their homes and the French Ambassador, Raphael Touze, said that all necessary precautions had been taken to insure their safety. The Chad armed forces, which was only 500 strong in 1964, have been strengthened to 4,000 men, including three companies of paratroops to oppose political rebellions in the mainly Moslem north and east of the country. The army officers who led the coup said in their communiqué that they intended to maintain all of Chad's present international agreements and undertakings. Mr. Tombalbaye, who survived several coup attempts in the last 13 years, was a former schoolteacher who entered politics in 1946 when he helped found the Chad Progressive party, which later became the country's first single ruling party.

EVENING STANDARD, THURSDAY APRIL 10, 1975 - 13 A king's guards are disarmed NEW DELHI, Thursday TROOPS of the Indian army disarmed the King of Sikkim's palace guards last night after a battle which may mark the end of the ruler's authority. Fighting continued for 20 minutes around the palace home of Chogyal (King) Palden Thondup Namgyal, whom Sikkim political leaders have asked the Indian Government to remove as the constitutional Head of State. The Indian army eventually succeeded in disbanding the 400-strong Sikkim Guards who lost one man, with four others in-jured. An Indian soldier also was wounded. The disbanding of the palace guards came on the eve of a scheduled emergency session of the Sikkim Assembly, which was to consider a resolution demand-ing the abolition of the mon-archy. The assembly is controlled by the Chogyal's political foes who came to power in the wake of the 1973 uprising against him. Led by Chief Minister Kazi Lhendup Dorji, the anti-royalists had Sikkim converted last year from an Indian protectorate to an associate Indian State with representation in the Federal Parliament in New Delhi. Reports from Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim, indicated Dorji might next press for full Indian statehood. THE KING of Sikkim-fight-ing around his palace. London THE TIMES MONDAY APRIL 7 1975 OVERSEAS. Another Premier, Pres, etc. out. Peking likely to seek cracks in the Nationalist facade after General Chiang's death From David Bonavia Peking, April 6 The news of the death of General Chiang Kai-shek created no obvious excitement in Peking today, though his name has been reviled daily for the past quarter of a century. Though branded as the chief villain of modern Chinese poli-tics, the late general had retained a certain immunity from the kind of personal slurs which have been cast on dis-graced former leaders of the Communist Party such as the late Lin Piao, the army chief, and Liu Shao-chi, the former head of state. Perhaps mindful of the furious periods during which they worked in alliance with the Kuomintang, the nationalist party which he led, the Communists seem to have felt that even he would not have been beyond forgiveness if he had consented to seek a peaceful solution of the Taiwan problem. Now that he is gone, they will look for cracks in the facade of the Kuomintang which they might exploit to solve this most bitter of all national issues. On the face of it the prospects for an early reconciliation with Taipei are not bright. Mr Chiang Ching-kuo, the general's son, who is expected to become the effective ruler of the island, has not in the past shown any inclination to negotiate with Peking. It has even been hinted by officials in Peking that he might be tempted to flirt with the Soviet Union. But he lacks the personal and historical aura which surrounded his father. The general's death, however, while not in itself an assurance of an early solution to the Taiwan problem, at least re-moves the most formidable obstacle. Peking has never slammed the door on negotiations with the Kuomintang. A small splinter group of the Kuomintang con-tinued to be represented in the parliamentary set-up in Peking, if only for form's sake. In re-cent years Peking propaganda has emphasized reconciliation, not confrontation. Amnesty was granted last month to nearly 300 alleged Kuomintang criminals and secret agents imprisoned on the mainland. People from Taiwan have been exhorted to visit the main-land without fear of detention and efforts have been made to cultivate people in other coun-tries who have Taiwan con-nexions. Fishing boats from the island which have foundered and been rescued by mainland vessels have been repaired and the crews sent home with friendly messages. Appeals have been issued to Kuomintang soldiers and offi-cials to work for reunion with the People's Republic without fear of reprisals for their past conduct. None of this seems to have made a great impression in Tai-wan, where American aid and Japanese investment have in-duced a high level of economic prosperity. Patrick Brogan writes from Washington: China experts have long discounted the effects of General Chiang's death. It is thought that although it might remove some psychological stumbling block from the path of reconciliation between Taiwan and the mainland, the other obstacles are much more difficult to overcome. There is a certain residual feeling of guilt in Washington that events should have led the United States Government in 1972, when President Nixon went to Peking, to write off its long alliance with General Chiang. Paris: In China's first mention of the general's death, the New China news agency in a broad-cast monitored here said he was a "puppet president" whose "hands were stained with the blood of the revolutionary Chinese people". Hanoi: Mr Pham Van Dong, the Prime Minister of North Viet-nam, today summed up his re-action to the death of President Chiang saying: "He should have died sooner."

Two boys, one 14 years old, the other 15, are arrested. A cab driver is held up and fatally shot on a street in Dallas, Tex. Two 14-year-olds and a 15-year-old are charged with the crime. An artist is brutally beaten to death in New York's Central Park in a struggle for his expensive bicycle. The police say five boys--two 16, one 15, one 13, and one 12--are responsible for the slaying. A grocer in Los Angeles, Calif., is murdered during a holdup. The accused is a 14-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy. The arresting officer says: "It was the most vicious thing I ever saw. First they shot him, then they chopped his face up. They told me they did it because he wouldn't sell them beer and started to give them a lecture." In New York, a 14-year-old boy is charged with the murder of a 63-year-old woman in her apartment in the South Bronx, a decaying slum area. He is held for seven weeks in a juvenile detention center. Detective Ralph Walker of the Seventh Homicide Zone said that the youth looked familiar when he took him to Family Court. Then he remembered that a professional artist had witnessed a slaying the year before and had supplied a drawing of the youth. The witness was brought in, identified the youth, and he was arrested for the 1973 New Year's Eve multiple-stabbing death of a 73-year-old man during a mugging as the victim left a subway station in the South Bronx. "This is his fourth arrest," said Detective Walker, referring to the 14-year-old boy, whose name was withheld in keeping with Family Court laws intended to protect the young. "All four cases were for assault and robbery. The result was the deaths of two innocent people. The kid didn't even seem shook up when we charged him with the second murder. He knows he can get only 18 months. We can't cope with this court system. There's no real punishment. That New Year's Eve victim was an old cripple, and the perpetrator chopped him up nine times with a butcher knife. That's no juvenile delinquent in my book." Thousands of similar cases reported from across the country are symptoms of an alarming plague of violent crime committed by young people that is rapidly becoming one of our gravest problems. Not only has there been an astonishing increase, but more and more crimes are being committed by younger children. Seven- and eight-year-olds have been taken into custody for rape, robbery, and assault this year. One murder was attributed to an eight-year-old boy, another to a nine-year-old boy, a third to a nine-year-old girl. All used handguns to kill children approximately their own age, according to police.

(and scientists) The trip to Europe, Millie...was success beyond your or my expectations. Not only was my brain worked on by the SI's...as far as they could take it without damaging me...but I saw the Loch Ness monster on two different occasions...documented my bringing out UFO's in Scotland...activated Stonehenge for the SI's...and made a shocking discovery about Stonehenge that nobody else knows, or ever will. Am enclosing tape recordings that I made on the trip...live, on the spot, recordings...up inside old haunted castles in the wee small hours of the night...owls hooting...it is all there. I EVEN GOT THE UFO SOUND ON TAPE! Thanks to you, Millie...it was all made possible. (And to George Delavan, for keeping the home fires burning.) To go back in time...in 1965 I discovered in Arizona that I had discovered a psi method of controlling weather. Drove to Washington, D.C., with the family, and got together with CIA and NASA...but they refused to do what the SI's wanted...get me to an old, haunted, isolated castle in Europe. So it took ten years...and your magnificent help...to get done what the SI's wanted. After I went to Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minnesota...and got my torn stomach muscles repaired (which you financed)....I returned home and recuperated, making some trips to New York to pick up necessary equipment for the Europe trip. Finally was ready, and flew to New York. They told me at the airport there that they were holding the plane for me...that I was late...and rushed me, not through, but PAST, Customs. At the time this did not register on me...but later it worried me a lot, in Europe...thinking of the return trip...because I had not declared all my equipment and stuff. (Thank God...they rushed me back the same way, so all was well, and my worries were for naught.) Arrived in London, and without leaving the airport caught a plane for Inverness, Scotland. There, got a room at the Caledonian Hotel. I hadn't the faintest idea of where I was going, or what to do. But I work that way on purpose...leaving it up to the SI's to clue me in (which they do with unerring accuracy, always.) There I treaded water for several days, trying to figure out the lay of the land...how to talk to the Scottish people (no small task) etc. Finally lined up a taxi driver named Ronald Petrie, to drive me way out of town late at night and drop me off at an isolated location on the banks of Loch Ness (where the famed monster resides, allegedly...and not allegedly...it does.) He'd return in an hour or two, and pick me up...was the arrangement. I carried my camera, tape recorder, flashlight (although I didn't use one at all...gave my position away...had it just for some emergency.) Wore special warm clothing purchased in New York just for this trip. Carried lots of other stuff...but these were the main items. The first night out there...Ron dropped me off in the pitchblack darkness, and drove off. At midnight, there is no traffic on that one, lonely road...outside Inverness. So...I was all alone in the blackness. I felt my way toward Loch Ness, and found a 40 foot cliff impeding my progress. So I simply jumped down towards a tree growing out of the cliff, and fell the rest of the way. Hitting the bottom, felt blood running down my right leg. But...I was down on the beach, the edge, of the 2 famous Loch Ness, at least. It was freezing cold. I telepathed to the SI's just where I was ... also to the Loch Ness creature (which I figure is an other- dimensional entity belonging to the SI's. ) Soon a UFO appeared in the sky ... darting about, as they do ... straight ahead and up over me. Then one by one, three "flying sword UFO's ... read Arthur Shuttlewood's book for their description) appeared out over the water, or on the far shore, whichev er. .. hard to determine. Then ... heard a splash ... and this long neck emerged from the water, with a small, football-shaped head, on top of it ... and it stared at me for about five minutes. Then it vanished ... after the shock of seeing it wore off and I finally began to grab for my camera (no flash) to try to get a moonlight shot of it. Finally came time to get up to the top of the cliff and over to the road to rendezvous with Ron. I slung everything around me ... and climbed up, laboriously, holding on to tree roots, anything. Made it. Ron drove up, lights off, and we returned to Inverness, to my hotel. (Should back up here ... and tell you that before taking off for Europe ... a flying saucer actually appeared on our TV set at home ... completely unlike any color usually on the screen. .. accompanied by all sorts of odd electrical malfunctions there at home. Also ... when I first arrived at Inverness ... detectives were busily watching me at the hotel. I could spot them quite easily ... and this happened during the course of the entire adventure. ) Next day I bought some rope, then when midnight came and Ron dropped me off out in the wilds ... I tied the rope carefully to a tree at the top of the high cliff ... lowered myself over the edge ... and fell down the rest of the way. Actually, it was funny. Like a Marx Bros. comedy. The night before I'd gotten fiv e deep gashes on my right leg. But this fall ... just some light scratches on my left leg. Telepathed to the UFO's, and to Nessie. The same four UFO's appeared again ... one high in the sky, darting about .. and the other three out over the water. This night an owl hooted over to my right for a while ... then hooted from directly behind me ... then hooted from the far shore. That owl certainly did get around, unless there was a gang of owls, taking turns hooting. And something was scaring the daylights out of the birds across from me on the far shore ... they were squawking like mad. Finally I went to the rope, and managed to climb back up the cliff, holding onto the rope. Ron met me, and back we went. Both nights, icy cold ... cold wind cutting right through clothing. (Might add that this night telepathed to "sword UFO's" to let me alone ... and they went out, changed to red glow. Next day accidentally viewed a TV daytime program called "Tomorrow People" by BBC. Amazingly, it's a show about a few people ... who can telepath to UFO's for info and intelligence and help ... and who have brains of Future Man, like myself! They might as well have studied my work and past .. and done a TV series on it! (Should add ... after second night on Loch Ness ... felt awful; drained; turned inside out. ) Well, I figured I'd done enough at this location ... so lined up a plane for Edinburgh the next day. But ... I strolled into a small shop and saw a small pamphlet ... which told about an old, haunted castle called Urquhart Castle on Loch ness. I cancelled the plane, and hired Ron to drive me to Drumnadrochit, a distance away ... and put up at the Glenurquhart Lodge there in that small, country village on the near-vicinity of Urquehart Castle. Well, I lined up a new driver at Drum. Peter Wilson; retired sergeant-major of the British Army. Not a taxi driver at all. Owns an expensive gift shop there. Forget how I met him, but it was accidental ... if anything at all on this trip could b e termed accidental. Peter had been all over the world in the British Army ... tough, tough sergeant major. He rolled up at the lodge at 11:30, and we drove way out to Urquehart Castle. It's a huge, isolated ruins of a castle ... right on the very edge of Loch Ness ... and I found out later ... is where the Monster has been seen the most! 3 He let me out...and I slipped like a shadow through the gate at the top of the long, long path towards the castle...through another gate....then left on a path along the base of the hill below the castle, left far over to the drawbridge...then up into the shadows of the castle...through the empty rooms and door arches...up to the top, to a parapet which I'd marked earlier in the day when Peter and I had made a daylight, trial run out to the Castle. (Might add here...the gates that I had come through...had huge padlocks on them...but someone had obligingly left the padlocks open. I figured that I had the blessings of someone in high officialdom on this. The Castle is a national treasure...kept intact by the Dept. of Environment. Later, in England...I did get this cooperation by the High Ones...as you will know.) This was a Thursday night...and I telepathed to the SI's, and to the Monster...from the parapet of the Castle overlooking the Loch. This, incidentally...was the Pluperfect Place for me...as far as the SI's were concerned. Moonlight flooding down on my lonely figure atop this isolated old castle, with the spooky Loch below. I could sense it. That the SI's were pleased that I was there. Anyway, soon a UFO danced up just overhead in the sky...darting all about...beautiful. And a column of white light shot down from the sky also...no planes or copters up there. Everything quiet...strange, eerie stillness throughout. The UFO was hypnotic, and I got a headache just from watching it...and nauseated. Finally when the time came I made my way out of the darkness of the castle, up the hill, and through the gate, where Peter was waiting in his car with no lights. I told him to wait a minute, and played the tape recorder relating the UFO sighting and all. Forgot to add...that up at the castle I'd developed a bad ache in my back, along with the splitting headache and nausea.) Next day Ron Petrie phoned from Inverness and said that many people had seen the UFO over the area...called police, etc...and a story had appeared in the newspaper abo ut it. I asked him to drive out with copies of the paper, so that I could read it. All day long...the people at the lodge asked me if I felt all right...said that I "looked different." In the afternoon some friends took me down into the village to watch a shinty game. Fascinating. Came night time and I had to call Peter and cancel our rendezvous. Something had "clicked off" in my brain, and I couldn't stand the strain of it this night. On Saturday night...midnight at the old castle...another UFO danced up over the castle. Very spooky night...bright moonlight...like one of those TV werewolf movies. Got an excruciating pain at the base of my neck. Tape recorder malfunctioning. Also ran out of tape. I know that the SI's are working on me, either from a distance, or close by, invisibly. I can sense, also, that I am under surveillance at the castle. By whom or what, I do not know. Sunday Ron drove to Drum, and got me and took me back to Inverness, to his home. There I transferred my small tapes to his large cassette recorder...and rented his recorder from him, to continue with...since my small Norelco 95 was malfunctioning. All this time...the day by day routine is horrible. I have no company; no companionship; nothing to do...from early morn until almost midnight at night, when I go to work. There is no diversion whatsoever. Just a glass of beer at the pub, and watch the people having fun amongst themselves. Monday...had a strange thing happen. Went into the pub of the lodge to have a beer...nothing else to do...in the afternoon...and some big, rough character begins to curse and berate the sweet barmaid, Margaret (Ricky's girlfriend.) 4 I tried to use psychology to talk him smoothly...and quiet him down. We three were alone in the pub, with the exception of a salesman over at the side of the room. Well, this character then zeroes in on me...and begins to try to back me into a corner. I could read his mind quite easily...he had a glass of whisky in his hand, and was preparing to sloosh it into my eyes...so I got my hands up in a judo posture. He put down the drink and set himself to give him a sneak punch...so I turned with my left side toward him, to give him a small target; seeing this move, he cannily changed posture and set himself for a kick with his heavy booted foot. Before he could launch the kick...I pivoted around him, out of the corner, to the center of the bar...where I had plenty of room to maneuver. Just then who comes in...but Peter Wilson! Peter positions himself between me and this fractious character. I go over to the salesman, at a table, and leave my camera...then put my watches into my pockets, and ring. Meanwhile the character is still shouting vile curses at the barmaid. I go back to the bar...and flat tell the rat to either shut his vile mouth...or take me on. He starts for me and I get ready (just fresh from a double hernia operation, remember...ha) when Peter steps in, spins this mug around...and holds him. Then the manager comes into the pub and tells the character to leave...which he does, promptly. But in all this...it rang as clear as a lead dime. First, I'd seen this character half an hour before he even went into the pub...out in the lodge office. He'd had a full pint of whisky then. In the pub, he still had that same pint...and it stayed full. When he went out, it was with the same full pint. In the bar, he'd had just one small glass of whisky...and he hadn't drunk that, either. This doesn't follow the pattern of a drinker...or a drunk. Also...while he was maneuvering around me...his eyes were clear...and his moves were smart. Remember, I'm an old ring fighter; a judo fighter; and once a nightclub bouncer. I know what I know. This entire situation seemed set up for my benefit...so that British intelligence could find out...how much control I had...if I would resort to quick violence...resort to weapons, or try to handle matters with my hands. Well, if so, they found out...I am very, very controlled...use violence only as a very last resort...and my hands are my first line of defense, even fresh after an operation. (Insert at this point...May 9, 1975...last night I awoke at 4:03 AM by the illuminated clock at bedside...and heard a voice talking to me from the foot of my bed...an unemotional, flat, mechanical voice...instructing me to do something. I listened to it for about five minutes, then inexplicably dropped off to sleep...it must have told me not to remember...because this morning I could not remember what that voice had been telling me. But...the voice was quite, quite real....) Night again, alone, at the isolated, haunted castle Urquhart. Very dark and very cold. I moved through the ruins like a shadow among the shadows...up through the arches, up onto my parapet lookout overlooking Loch Ness. The sky was covered with thick black clouds. Pitch black darkness all about. I telepathed to the SIs, and to the Monster. Soon an amazing thing happened. A circle opened right over me, in the sky. In this circle, the stars and sky were quite clear...but everywhere else in the sky, as far as the eye could see...thick black clouds covered the sky! It seemed like a miracle. Finally the circle of clear sky closed up, and the entire sky once again was all overcast with black clouds. I checked the time on my Pulsar watch at 21 after midnight. Then doublechecked a few seconds later...and it read 28 after 12! I realized that somehow...seven minutes of time had vanished...during which time I had no recollection! (This was like the Dallas incident, years ago, when I was with my daughter, Lornie, and a UFO came down to our car...seemed like a minute...but after it had vanished...we'd lost an hour of time!) 5 I then made my way out of the old castle through the darkness...way up the hill to where Peter waited in his blacked out car...and told him about the missing seven minutes. When I returned to the lodge and went to my room...my neck ached excruciatingly again...at the base, back, of the neck. (Other nights, I might add, I'd felt like I was drugged, after the castle sessions.) But tonight I was different...except for the pain at the back of the neck. Summed up...I'd had no visual sighting this night...just seven minutes of time vanished. Next night...moved up through the blackness into the castle...up to the parapet. Snowing heavily. Visibility zilch...nothing. Peasoup fog. Then a bright UFO light flickered up overhead, through the blackness. I was protecting Ron's recorder with my body and coat, from the snow. Must have been zero or below. Freezing cold. Telepathed to the SI's, and to Monster. Walked in circles, around and around in the snow, and the blackness, to keep warm, and to keep a keen watch. My ears began to freeze up, so I pulled a ski mask over my entire head...leaving only eye and mouth openings. Completely socked in by fog and snow, and a thick white mist enveloping me. Couldn't even see Loch Ness, 100 feet away. Real spooky. Time seemed sixteen distorted up on top of the castle...not like earth time at all...an hour up there seemed like 15 minutes to me...but when I'd get back to Peter he said it seemed like two hours to him. And I had no recollection of time passing at all. Well, I kept circling, watching for SI's, and/or thugs coming at me out of the darkness. Then I saw something moving around in the square of space...an old crumbled room...next to me. It was white...a white blur, 3 or 4 feet wide. The thing moved around...and I drew my knife and went into the enclosure after it. But there was nothing in there. Whatever it was, had vanished. But I'd seen it quite plainly. People in the village had said they wouldn't go to Urquhart Castle after dark for love or money...because a ghost had been seen up inside it many times. Perhaps this was the ghost. Then...that same circle cleared in the sky right over me...with dark sky everywhere else as far as the eye could see. This made the second night in a row...a huge, giant circle had opened up right over me. I heard a huge splash in the water near me. Then I saw a UFO right up over me. I knew, for sure, they were working my brain over! Again I got the strong feeling of being watched and observed. I checked my Pulsar at 12:20; then again a few seconds later, and it read 12:29! I had lost more time; time had vanished on me! Finally I made my way out of the dark castle, and back to the road, where Peter waited in his darkened car...and told him about the missing time, again. What was striking...was that the missing time was at about the same minute each night...12:20 to 12:28, and 12:20 to 12:29. Next day three reporters converged on me at the lodge...because of my work, and because of the UFO reported in the local paper. They checked my credentials, then took me to the castle for some photos. At this point...I was terribly bored, and homesick. No companionship...nothing. Just sitting around for hours all day, waiting for the night. And it was my little boy Teddy's birthday...so I called him long distance. At night...vibes were horrible; terrible. And everything was going wrong. The lodge phones were not available. The public phone...I could call out, but the party at the other end couldn't hear my voice. The lodge office was closed, and couldn't get at that phone...so I was snookered, as to communication out. Then the gardener (who doubled as a pro hunter) was replaced that day by another man...and he chose to take it out on me...in the pool room he kept calling out loudly..."run the American back where he came from!" Of course, I was the only American there, in this tiny place. But by that time I'd made many friends...and they shut up the ex-gardener. Then the SI's communicated with me and warned me not to go out to the castle any more without an armed guard...because after the newspaper story (which pinpointed where I was going, and when) had made it too dangerous to me. 6 To add to all of this...I didn't seem like myself at all. More like another personality, or person. This had never happened before...and I mused whether the SI work on my brain...had caused it. When Peter arrived for rendezvous...I told him we'd better cancel...but he offered to go along as the guard...carrying a huge club. So, we went together. This was the first...and only...time anyone at all accompanied me on any of my night work. We moved up into the dark castle. There was a full moon...but visibility was bad; there was a dark overcast. However, with another person present...there was no SI contact! It was the difference between hot and cold; white and black. The feeling was entirely different; no good. The second person present seemed to cancel out everything. Next night Peter assured me that it would be okay to go alone up into the dark castle, so I believed him and went on up by myself into the darkness. There was a full moon. The night was clear and beautiful. The castle was all alight with bright moonlight. I telepathed. (Oh, before I forget...that afternoon the wife of the supermarket owner in Drum. had informed me that she had personally watch the UFO maneuver in the sky, the previous Thursday...and I secured a statement from her...which you will get.) As I turned slowly in a circle, watching the skies, the Loch Ness waters, and the shadows nearby...suddenly I saw a huge black mass break through the water out ahead of me! Must have been about 50 feet in length. (Later, back in Inverness, I got a booklet on the Monster...and there was a photo in the booklet...showing this very same picture...this same black mass up out of the water, allegedly the Monster.) There had been no such black mass coming up out of the water on any other night; at least where I'd had visibility. At this point I realized that my location...this spot that I came to every night...was zeroed in by the SI's...for programming my brain, or for invisible approach. And...the castle by now...seemed like a second home. It fascinates me, holds me, and it is the location...where the most people have seen the Loch Ness Monster, for whatever that is worth. To show you how close Loch Ness is...I just flicked my cigar butt out into the water. At this point my feet were numb with cold...and the fingers inside my sheep lined gloves...were numb with cold. I decided not to watch the time...to heck with it...if time was going to vanish, then it would just vanish. I stamped my feet to get some feeling back into them. It was odd that it was so cold...because the night was clear, and shouldn't have been cold. Tonight there was no owl hoot...last night the owl had been hooting (like it had way back the first two nights on the Loch bank, down the cliff) but tonight, nothing. It was kind of company. The birds on the far side of the Loch were squawking like blazes...something over there getting them upset. Finally I called it a night and made my way out of the castle, back up to the road to where Peter waited in his darkened car. The next night...was a dilly! To pass the time, I decided to shoot some pool with the villagers in the lodge pool room (contained one single table...and the villagers all assembled there every evening to drink beer and shoot pool). Lovey's wife (he was a wrestler) came up and asked me to be her partner. So I was, for one game. Then she went over and asked Malcolm to be her partner. (Malcolm, some nights earlier...I had beaten at 8ball...and he'd calmly walked past me, then swiftly kicked all the glass out of the door! He'd been in the famed Scots Guard...but had been released (I believe for mental instability.) This night...he ignored her, and played with another partner...and she became infuriated with Malcolm rejecting her...picked up a bottle...went up behind him and smashed it over his head! 7 He turned around, with a surprised look on his face...grabbed her by her right arm...and flipped her onto the floor, flat onto her back. Then her husband, Lovey, the wrestler, came hurrying over. At this point there were about twenty people in the room...and they began to get out, quickly. Lovey and Malcolm came to grips...and began throwing each other around the room; smashing each other's heads into the walls! Banging each other's heads down onto the floor; kneeling each other; etc etc. Meanwhile, I stood there with my cue in my hand...it had been my shot. Everyone else had fled from the room, except Peter...the habitual character and drunk...who'd gone to sleep sitting in a chair against the wall, and not even the sound of the battling had wakened him. Malcolm picked up a heavy chair, threw it across the room right into Lovey. Then he picked up the cue ball off the table and threw it at Lovey...the ball ricocheted around the walls and came to rest, funnily enough...right in poor Peter's lap! Still Peter didn't wake up. They began throwing beer mugs at each other. Beer mugs broke and glass flew all around my head. Chairs flew through the air. Anything went. Both Malcolm and Lovey were in tatters...bloody tatters. Anything like stuck pigs. Then I got an idea. But before I could put it into motion...Lovey's wife began to sneak up on Malcolm, who had Lovey down on the floor; fingers intertwined in Lovey's hair, smashing his head down onto the floor. She had a huge glass beer mug in her hand, and was prepared to smash Malcolm over the head with it, from behind. I used a judo handgrab and took it away from her. Fair was fair, I figured. Then I yelled at the two..."someone called the police, you guys had better get out of here!" Malcolm got up off of Lovey. Lovey called him chicken for quitting the fight, but Malcolm wanted no part of police. Malcolm went out the door, then stuck his head back inside and yelled at Lovey..."but I still say your wife is a bum!" At which point Lovey threw two heavy beer mugs through the glass door at Malcolm. I was still standing there, pool cue in hand, fascinated. Lovey staggered over to the pool table...blood pouring down from innumerable cuts...his clothes in strips and tatters...and said, "Whose shot?" "Your shot," I said...so he picked up a cue, and we finished the game. The room was a complete shambles...you couldn't take a step without walking into broken glass...everything broken and smashed. And Peter was still leaning against the wall, in his chair, sound asleep. Then Peter Wilson drove up...and we left for the castle. Terrible night. Thick fog. No moonlight at all. Pitch black. Could see nothing. And to add to the lack of visibility...a thick white fog up on top of the castle parapet. When I telepathed to the SI's and the Monster...I could easily sense that there was more than one Loch Ness Monster. There's a bunch! For the first time...as I stood in the utter blackness, alone, in the isolated crumbly castle after midnight...I understood something. If any intelligence agencies of any country...wanted to eliminate me because of my link-up with the UFO's...this Scotland situation had been, and still was, pluperfect! I was alone, in the darkness, on the brink of the Loch. Completely and utterly vulnerable to the Dirty Tricks Department of any agency. Also I realized why the SI's had been concerned...there were several characters in Drum. who'd cut my throat for the equipment on my back...which would keep them in living expenses for a year or two. I understood another thing...the SI's were remodifying my brain in steps! Quite ingenious of them. If they did it all at once, it would probably ruin me. So...they were doing it piece by piece, place by place...to give my mind time to recuperate, between treatments. And...they would leave it up to me...to judge when my mind, brain, had had enough. And I realized at this point...that they had worked on my brain extensively. The Wednesday before...I had been upset; hostile; a different personality than my normal self. Peter Wilson knew it. Too much work by the SI's on me? That's why they have slacked off, since that time. Then I got a terrible backache, up on the parapet. But had no weight on my back to cause 8 it. Then a bright "sword UFO" appeared out over the water, opposite me. And my back kept hurting...at the base of my spine, in the small of my back. Finally time was up...and packed up the equipment...made way out of the dark castle up the hill to Peter's car. Then I hired Ron Petrie to drive me to Edinburgh in his taxi. Got a room at the George Hotel. Bought a new cassette recorder to replace my pocket one that had broken down. Very dull city...ugh. Nice people; but so very very dull. Nothing to do there. No way to relax. But I stayed several days anyway. To relax. What I had been going through...brain modification...had wiped out my energy. Flew to London. At the airport...didn't know whether to take a taxi into London, and cast about for some means of finding Salisbury, or what. The SI's communicated...and told me what to do. So I made inquiry...took a bus to Reading; then a train to Salisbury. Was being watched constantly, by two man teams, I might add. Not imagination, or paranoid thinking. Just a fact. At the Hotel George back in Edinburgh this same man had lurked across the street, watching me come out and checking me back in. Then he'd surprised me...by popping up across the street just outside the front door of the hotel, and accosting me..."What kind of cigar is that you are smoking?" We exchanged cigar chitchat...but I realized that he was peering into my eyes and checking my voice...probably to try and evaluate my stability. British intelligence is not stupid...and they'd most likely been with me in Scotland...American intelligence, you can bet your bottom dollar...wanted to know what I was doing, and how I was doing it...and they'd work with British Intelligence, too. Might drop a note at this point...on the tremendous, overwhelming expense of this entire trip. Beginning with my operation at Mayo...where I'd expected to spend a week...then been held there for a month! Then extensive European trip...getting tools and equipment and clothes. And the trip itself....spending a hundred or two hundred dollars on taxi's, hotels, meals, etc., every time I turned around! It could have only been done...with open-ended funds...which Millie had laid out for all this. (And knowing that my friend George Delavan was covering rent, food, etc., back at home.) Drat it...they lost my luggage carrier on the plane coming to London. Have to get another in Salisbury. Made a mental note to be careful in England...because in Scotland things are more controlled...papers full of crime and skulduggery in England. Secured a room at the White Hart Hotel in Salisbury. Got lucky and quickly found a taxi driver, who agreed to the unusual night hours of taking me out to haunted places. Eric Romaine. Heavy set, pipe smoking gent. Met him at the railroad station, matter of fact...he drove me into town and helped me find a hotel. Said he might have a connection who would help sneak me into Stonehenge. He also knew of an old castle, abandoned, isolated...Old Sarum Castle. In my room, waiting for the magic hour of 11:30, and rendezvous with Eric...I unexplainably fell asleep at 9:20. Woke up some time later, feeling exhausted. Eric arrived on time. We drove out into the black countryside. Cold, icy rain falling. Freezing cold. Eric said he couldn't arrange the Stonehenge deal...so he (and his wife in the back seat...no doubt there because she wondered why, at that hour, Eric would be out) drove me out to Old Sarum Castle, isolated in the country. We got out of the taxi...and found out that the castle was surrounded by a very high fence...only access by way of a drawbridge, which had a gate topped with sharp spikes, and secured by a huge padlock. 9 So I dismissed Eric and his wife...watched the taxi with darkened lights turn and leave the location...then I picked up my equipment and moved over to the right of the castle...up onto a hill into a clump of trees. An icy wind was blowing. Two UFO's appeared, after my telepathing. Visibility was zilch; but the UFO's fluttering about were perfectly clear. One "sword UFO" came right at me, at my location. It changed from a white star thing to a dull orange glow (like those had done at the Loch Ness locations). The other one, higher up, did the same thing. Then switched back on to bright again. Then a third UFO appeared, and they arranged themselves into a perfect triangle formation...two up above, and one low for the point of the triangle. Then even more UFOs appeared. It seemed they were putting on quite a show. Changing color; jumping about. The night itself was pitchblack; icy cold; cold rain pouring down; sky murky. Was keeping my new recorder carefully covered, from the rain. Came time to leave. I was numb with cold...the SI's comm'd and led me over to the castle drawbridge and told me how to enter into the castle the next night! They wanted me there. Eric drove up in his darkened car, then...I got in...and told him of the SI plan...and he agreed to cooperate with the plan. Might add here...that all these taxi rides were costing me 15-$20 a shot...and I was taking several a day...scouting out the ground, going here and there. Same with Ron and Peter Wilson in Scotland. And others. Also should add...that the SI's do a tremendous job of leading me to my targets. Tonight, for instance, Eric's wife handed me a book written by Arthur Shuttlewood...about a place called Warminster...and certain hills on which UFO's had appeared. From this book, which I would read...I was guided unerringly to Warminster and to the right places there...and the right people. But...suppose she hadn't shown me the book? This sort of thing was happening on the entire trip. Just this kind of "luck" found me Urquhart Castle and Drumnadrochit. Found the perfect suitcase to take the place of my lost luggage carrier...the thing has a built in handle, and built in wheels. Next day...extreme loneliness hit me with a dull thud, again. Depressed me quite a bit. Night...Eric came by...we went out to Old Sarum Castle. He had a thick blanket; a short stepladder. In the darkness we snuck up to the spiked gate...put up the ladder...I wadded the blanket on top of the spikes, swung my butt up onto the blanket...pulled the ladder up with me...and leaped off onto the other side. Eric got the blanket and took it with him to the taxi, as he left. I left the ladder where it was...and moved through the darkness into the castle grounds...not knowing where I was going inside there. I felt my way through the dark rooms and dark grounds...up and up...and finally found a high parapet on top of the castle. Icy cold up there...couldn't see four feet in front of me, visibility so poor. Not like Urquhart...up there I could check out my immediate surroundings for intruders...not here...all spread out...anybody could come at me from any direction and I wouldn't be able to see them. The cold wind soon began to cut through my pants like a knife. Then the sky cleared, and I could see in every direction out over the countryside. A gale wind was blowing...had to hold the hat onto my head to keep it from blowing off. Cold, biting, icy winds. I tried to light a cigar...and after ten successive matches blew out...I gave it up. I'd goofed in another way, also...had worn soft, felt booties...so that I could pad around inside the castle without being heard by anybody. Yes, but without shoes inside them. And in no time...my feet were freezing off. I heard a rustling noise over to my left...so I knew for sure that I was not alone up there. It was not a noise that Eric could have made, depending on his position. Later, Eric...because if any of them failed to show up later...I'd be found frozen in the 10 morning! I thought back...to earlier in the evening...when Eric and I had been driving out toward the castle...and we'd passed a girl hitchhiking on the lonely country road. I'd said, "Eric, make a U-turn and go back and pick up that girl. We'll give her a lift before she freezes." "It wasn't a girl," he'd said, "it was a man." (We each saw a different thing.) But he made a U-turn, went back, and the human had vanished completely. Eric and I had both been mystified. Well, at 1 I made my way back down again through the old, dark castle...and out to the locked gate. Eric was there in the dark. I put up the ladder and went up it. Eric handed me the blanket, and we reversed the process to get me down onto the other side. We went tippy-toeing back to his darkened car, deposited the ladder and blanket inside the car...and just then a police car swung up the road and parked about 20 feet away! Now, we are talking about after 1 at night...out in the dark countryside...no lights and no people! I said to Eric, what the blazes, Eric? The police car didn't come over and investigate us...just sat there for a few minutes, then started up and left. We switched on our lights and drove back into town...and found the police car silently waiting for us, half-way, on the road. I didn't like this turn of events at all! Next day I engaged Eric to drive me way out to Stonehenge, to scout it out in the daytime. Soon as I got there, I realized what Stonehenge was all about. It was a mechanism...a machine. A psychotronic machine (see "Psychic Discoveries Behind The Iron Curtain" book by Ostranger, on psychotronic form.) And the key to Stonehenge...so ingeniously planned for in the ages past by the UFO entities...had to be an alien brain set inside it, to activate it! Its power was so intense...that it could not be trusted to a human brain to activate it. Only an alien UFO brain...with their peculiar laws and compassionate philosophy...could be trusted to turn on all of that power. (Same thing with the pyramids in Egypt, Mexico, etc. They were designed to be turned on, activated, by an alien brain inside same...just like the battery inside an electric watch...and for the same reason.) Now...and this is very important...while activating Stonehenge, several times...I discovered a tremendous secret about Stonehenge...certainly not known to any other humans. Over and above what I have already told you. Stonehenge...has many functions! It came to my mind...that the SI's primary reason to bring me to Europe...might be to activate Stonehenge for them! Secondary reason, the remodifying of my brain (which they did, right enough.) The SI's are most devious...as I have found in the past. Fair as fair, but...devious. Like the time they guided me to Cleveland and to "make some food and rent money giving lectures." Uh huh. Turned out...what they really wanted to do...was demonstrate how they could control the entire city of Cleveland...letting me document it for them! Same thing with the country of France...and my small hassle with Dr. Poher there. Discovered 20 twenty pounds (20) missing from my billclip, during the daytime. No way...it could have become lost. Was in left trouser pocket underneath my heavy leather coat. But, you say...perhaps a pickpocket? Not so...the clip itself is of 18K gold...worth $500-$600 at today's gold prices...have had it for years...and no self-respecting pickpocket would take $50 in bills and leave the $500 clip in my pocket! I think it was the SI's...for whatever reason. Because all along the way...things disappeared from my pockets, fingers, belt. But they appeared later, in a different place. This 20 pounds never did reappear. On the way out to Stonehenge, about 3:30 in the afternoon, in April...sunny day... 11 I explained to Eric, a most intelligent man...how I dreaded going out to Stonehenge on this sunny afternoon...with tourists standing around, gawking and taking photos...while I mentally concentrate on activating the structure-mechanism. Well, as we drove along...the sunshine turned to light snow. By the time we got to Stonehenge galeforce winds were blowing and there was a full blizzard. One could hardly see six feet ahead. I made my way out into Stonehenge...whilst the tourists were running out of Stonehenge...and I was left alone to do my work! A miracle if you ever saw one! Just as fast as I had used all of the mental "triggers" the SI's had giv en me, to activ ate Stonehenge...they comm'd and told me to get out, fast! (I believe this is the first time they have ever done such a thing.) So I did. Left Stonehenge. My impression was...that in activating Stonehenge, according to SI instructions...I released so much power there...that the SI's were fearful that I could be damaged (since I am not a full SI...but a "half-b reed"...half SI, half human. The rest of the day, lonesomeness pounded at me...like waves on the beach. Hav ing no one to talk to, or who cares...or to do anything with...gets to you. Just a hotel room. One of the worst experiences...all of this lonesomeness on this European trip...that I have ev er gone through. I contacted the SI's and requested that they finish their remodifying of my brain in Warminster...but they couldn't withstand that? They requested...that I go to Stonehenge this night...break in...activate it...break out...then go to Old Sarum Castle and repeat the entire process. (Oh...before I forget...last night...I had the windows of my hotel room closed...and they steamed over. During the night I heard weird noises...and at bedtime ov er the windows. Considering I was on the second floor...a sheer drop down...brick wall...nothing could get to my windows...this was quite puzzling. Except I remembered the time on the Arizona desert...sleeping out in the open in our car...and we'd wakened in the morning...and Beau had said he'd seen a "monster face" at my window during the night. Then I'd gotten out of the car and found pawprints and clawmarks in a peculiar stain...all over the car...and something had ripped our back tire, so that it was flat.) Eric picked me up at 11:30. We drove out to Stonehenge, while I told him what the UFO's wanted me to do. I used the thick blanket up on top of the spikes on the gate...and went over. Now, this is out in the country. Ev erything dark and pitchblack. No one out there. Stonehenge just a black, dark bunch of rock shadows far ov er to my left...across a field. Occasionally a car would pass...and I would fling myself flat, to av oid the lights from the car picking up my silhouette in the field. Finally, after getting ov er several smaller fences...I reached the famous rocks of Stonehenge. I slipped in amongst them...quiet as a mouse in the darkness...found my spot between the two rocks, where I'd b een in the afternoon...and commenced using the "triggers" the SI's had giv en me. But in about 3-5 minutes a light flickered amongst the giant rocks...and I knew I'd been set up. Because lights from the road, far away, wouldn't reach inside Stonehenge. I fell flat between the two rocks, hoping whoever it was would take a quick look and go away. But no...the powerful beam moved straight ov er to where I was and shown down at me, where I lay inside the rocks. They knew...just where I'd be! I slowly rose...saw a policeman...and thought oh boy, I've had it now! He told me that I'd have to leave, and not come back. That's all he said. He didn't ask me who I was...what I was doing there...or anything. THEN HE TURNED AND WALKED AHEAD OF ME...HIS B ACK TO ME...ALL THE LONG WAY B ACK TO THE ROAD TO ERIC'S CAR! Now, I'd just broken into a national monument...and you know, and I know, that ordinary police procedure calls for the cop to have me show identification... 12 give a reason for being there, at that hour of the night...and of course no policeman in his right mind would turn his back on some mysterious breaker--and-enterer...and walk out ahead of him! UNLESS, THAT IS...THE COP KNOWS WHO THE INTERLOPER IS...AND KNOWS THAT THE INTERLOPER IS HARMLESS...WOULDN'T HURT HIM! And this...had to be it. He knew who I was...knew where I'd be standing...knew I wouldn't harm him. Well...I skipped the castle, naturally. The cops had almost gotten us there the night before...and I figured that now they'd zeroed in on me...I'd be a dead-duck if I tried the up-over-the-spikes routine now out at the castle. So...back to the hotel...and I raved and ranted in my hotel room for hours, I was so furious and frustrated...because I'd come a long way, and gone to a lot of trouble and wear and tear...to get this thing done for the UFO's...only to be blocked and frustrated at it. In Scotland...I was not blocked. The castle gates were left unlocked for me. And I got results. UFO's appeared, and were seen by others, as well as myself. But now, in England...fooey. The authorities were smoothly blocking my moves. Then I found that my favorite hunting knife was missing from my belt. I'd had it on me...at Stonehenge. Had it for 20 years, and was my favorite (I have a collection.) I determined to go back to Stonehenge at early morn...before tourists got there...and find it! Early morn...called Eric...went out to Stonehenge before it opened to the public. Was first in line at the ticket window. A voice said "You back again?" I laughed and said sure...and buying a ticket, just like anybody else. It was the same policeman, and he emerged from behind a two-way window. I told him I'd lost something the night before. So he took me back into Stonehenge...it wasn't out in the field. I told Eric...I am going to wait half hour, then go back inside Stonehenge, and activate it in the daytime. Do not get in at night. And that's exactly what I did. And this is when...I found out a fantastic secret about Stonehenge! During the day...the SI's command and instructed me to skip that night...just rest. Was having supper at a quaint eating place...when an amusing thing happened. A tall, gray-haired man...and an American, judging from his voice...stood about six feet away, talking to another man. We were probably the only two Americans at the time. I called to him and asked him where he was from. Virginia, he said. (I live in Virginia.) Oh boy, I have somebody to talk to! So, to kid him a bit and warm things up...I said, "Tourist! Gringo, go home!" and grinned, thinking he'd come over and join me at my table. Instead he got furious, turned his back on me, and walked out of the room. I laughed for half an hour...at the irony of it. Next move...I took a train to Warminster, England. And the very first thing that happened...was most funny! I asked the driver, Peter, if he could do a very special job for me (meaning my night-routine at haunted castles and hills.) I told him I would like to hire him to pick me up at about midnight to do something special. He studied me for a minute...said, I've got just the man for you. Name of Ricky. And he drove me out to some houses; went in, and brought out a tough looking mug. We three went to a nearby pub, where Peter left us by ourselves. This Ricky took me over to a corner table...and proceeded to let me know how valuable he was...as a fence, handling diamonds! Explained how he'd worked in African diamond mines. I laughed and told him that I wasn't in 13 the diamond trade...especially smuggling diamonds (which evidently was his line)...and he quickly got up and departed. I left the place and Peter was waiting outside. I went with him to the Beeline Taxi office and made arrangements with the manager for a night driver to pick me up at 11:30 PM. Then the driver helped me find a room at the Farmer's Hotel. (I'd made prior arrangements, by long distance phone, from Salisbury to Warminster, to stay at another hotel...but the driver told me it was a bad place...to stay at the Farmer's Hotel. So I did.) This hotel...had a ghost, I found out later...had been seen many times...and played tricks on people. The hotel was hundreds of years old. Took a walk into downtown Warminster, and winced. Really mean, tough-looking people here. Gangs of motorcycle riders...clad in black leather...hung all over with swastika pins and the like. I was awfully lonesome...but couldn't even find somebody to talk to. The people there, I discovered...hated Americans. Just like they do in France. Night, and the taxi driver picked me in front of the hotel. The cold was intense...freezing. I told him to drive me out to Cradle Hill, to an isolated location. He drove far, far out...on a country road which would lead to a deadend...but before we got there, another car pulled in front of our car. My driver was astounded. What? he said. Nobody comes out here this time of night...into this isolated country location. At the deadend, the other car made a U-turn, swung around us (and I caught a clear look at the man seated on the righthand side, front...he had a peculiar black beard...a most unusual design)...then the car drove a small way down the road, parked, and switched off lights. I ignored it, and got out. My driver drove off. I climbed over the gate at the deadend, and found three different roads, leading off in different directions. I decided to take the one going up to the top of the hill...where I could see a black outline of trees in the darkness. The driver had said that the hill was barren. The hill was very steep, and I huffed and puffed my way up it, until I'd gotten 2/3 of the way up. Then I could see the outline of a building in amongst the trees. Was it a house? If so...the house might have a vicious dog...or someone might think I was a robber, and begin blasting away with a shotgun...so I stayed where I was, 2/3 of the way up on the lonely road...and telepathed to the SI's. A UFO quickly appeared...flashing orange, red and yellow colors. I talked into the tape recorder and pointed out...its color difference from the silvery stars. And as soon as I had done so...the UFO color changed to silver! Just as if it knew what I was saying in the recorder...and made a color correction. This reminded me of Loch Ness...when I had telepathed to the sword UFO's to let me alone that night...and they had immediately turned off...from their brilliant white color to a small, orange glow. Then my tape went bad, of all things...and I could no longer communicate into the recorder. Over to my right...was a huge black cloud...with swirling fog inside it...covering the dimension of a football field. Everywhere else the night was as clear as a bell...so this black cloud stood out like a sore thumb. Finally, as I left my location to go back down the hill...THE BLACK CLOUD FOLLOWED ALONG BESIDE ME! The driver was there; I got in; we drove down off the lonely road...and turned if that same other car didn't pull in behind us from somewhere and begin to follow us. The driver admitted that we were being followed. The other car followed us to my hotel, where I got out, cussing, and went to bed. Speaking of cussing...when you hear the tapes that I made...please forgive my unusual language. Unusual for me...that is. Ordinarily "durn" and "heck" are the extent of my strong language. But night by night exposure to the SI's and 14 their powers...seemed to bring pressure on my mind...that caused me to revert to my old Navy language of 1941-45, long years ago. I found myself cussing like a trooper, as they say...when blocked, frustrated, etc. I apologize for it...when you hear it...but cannot change it...from the standpoint of experimentation and observation...since it happened, and is a part of all that happened. Next day I hired the taxi driver to take me out to Cradle Hill...and I walked out to check out that "house"...but discovered that it was a peculiar, sealed up building...LIKE a barn, but not a barn. Beside it...lay the ruins of an old house. I left, and walked back down the hill to the driver, who had waited. He warned me not to go to Starr Hill, because the army was holding secret maneuvers there. As we passed one hill...I liked it...Copheap, off Elm...and made a mental note to return there some night. Back in town...I determined to find this Arthur Shuttlewood...and secure some of his books for Millie, George...and was directed to the owner of Payne's Drugstore, who presumably knew Arthur. (And this shows...how the SI's were following me and guiding me.) As I stood inside the drugstore, talking to the owner...the owner said, why, there is Arthur's son now...he just walked in! I went over to the lad, about twenty years old...and gave him a message for his dad...relative to a meeting together. (forgot to mention...the night before I'd had a precog dream...dreamed of an elderly woman...who had dark, black spots on her left leg. This day...an elderly woman was my waitress at the hotel...Peggy...had the same face as the woman in my dream. I asked her if she had any dark spots...birthmarks or whatever...on her left leg. She said, yes...lifted her long skirt...and showed a bunch of dark bruises on her left leg. Said she'd fallen over a bed. The taxi picked me up about 11:30 PM...and out we went again onto the dead end road at Cradle Hill. The night was very dark, and very quiet and still. As we reached the end of the dead end country road...there ahead of us was the "other" car...of the night before...waiting, with lights off. Oh, was I mad! I didn't know who there were...seemed to be three of them in the car...but I had waited all day long to get out here and meet, alone, with the SI's...and these men were blocking me! I could return to the hotel, and play it safe...or...and I decided that it would be "or". I told the taxi driver to take off...and stood there in the blackness of the night, at the locked gate...studying the other car...and cussing (as you'll discover on the tapes!) After a long while and a man got out...and began to slowly approach me. I warned him, and I surely meant it...not to come any closer...and he stopped dead in his tracks. "Aren't you interested in why we are here?" he asked. "Not at all," I told him. "I'm here to do something very important...and it does not concern you." He stood there for about five minutes, it seemed, in the darkness before me...then slowly turned and went back to the car, and got back in. The car sat there for a while longer, then switched on its lights and drove off, back down the hill, out of sight. That left me alone, in the darkness and the moonlight, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I'd been ready to take on all three of them...if I had to. I climbed over the gate, and started up the road to the top, where I'd scouted during the day...but the SI's comm'd and said no, not to go there. So instead, I took the next road...and followed it in the darkness. Soon a bunch of trees caught my eye over to the right (where the dark cloud was)...and I cut over across the field into the trees...and found that the trees were on the edge of a cliff. It was a dandy location, and I settled down 15 for a good get-together with my UFO friends. Nobody could come at me, without my discovering them...pitchblack darkness or not...because with the cliff at my back, I could spot anything moving through the darkness toward me from the front... It was icy cold there, inside that clump of trees. I'd walked right inside that peculiar black cloud with the swirling mist inside it. I telepathed to the SI's. Later, as it came time to leave the location...I walked out of the clump of trees...when I suddenly heard these strange, weird, eerie sounds coming from the trees I'd just vacated. (I was approx. 100-200 feet away, I reckon.) I turned to see what on earth could have made those sounds...sort of a cross between a screeching eagle and an animal...and just as I turned...a flaming ball of fire shot down out of the sky...right down in front of me...to the position I'd just vacated! It was a lovely, gorgeous, beautiful sight! In short, a UFO...type I'd never before seen, and I've seen many...had come right down to where I was! And if it hadn't "called" to me" I wouldn't have seen it! (You actually have that UFO sound on your tape!) Went down and met my taxi. Thank goodness there was no sign of the other car. Next day I made a startling discovery. My eyebrows had turned gray! Now, the hair on top of my head has been gray for a long while...but my eyebrows have been a deep red color. Not a silver hair among them. Suddenly, today, they are 2/3 gray! I shave looking into the mirror each day...and these had not been evident before. I wondered if the black cloud I'd walked into...and the flaming UFO the night before, which had "called" to me...could have turned my eyebrows gray! In early evening, Arthur Shuttlewood, the famous author, came over to the hotel and spent an hour with me. In our chat, we discovered that his life...and my life...contained many of the same elements (as he points out in his new book, where he's doing a chapter about me ("Invisible Worlds"). (Also, oddly enough, all of the many twists and turns of Edgar Cayce's life juxtapose perfectly with those of my own life! For whatever it's worth, I just mention it in passing....) Now, this ghoulish-looking man had been following me for days...when I'd go into the dining room to eat...he'd go in to eat; and sit and stare at me. When I'd go into the TV room, he'd go in...and sit and stare at me. Well, this night, before the taxi driver arrived...the wife of the hotel owner came running upstairs and begged me to be careful. "This man who's been following you," she said, "looks dangerous...and he's downstairs now"(this at almost midnight, when nobody, but nobody, usually stirred in the hotel but me.)"He's been acting very suspicious this evening," she continued, "so my son and I have been watching him. He's downstairs now, at the foot of the stairs, pretending to be making a phone call. Except he's never dialed the phone. My son and I have been watching him. He's just standing there, waiting for you to come down. So do be careful tonight." I assured her that I was always careful...and thanked her...and went down the stairs. Yes, there was this creep...standing over against the wall, in the shadows, watching me...holding the phone to his ear. I went to the front door and looked out. The creep called over to me..."You waiting for a taxi?" "Yes," I answered back, "but how did you know?" He didn't answer that. My taxi arrived, and I went out and got in. (Next morning the owner's wife told me that the creep had gone out right after I left...and hadn't returned to the hotel all night.) When we drove up the long, dark country road to the deadend dropoff for me, the taxi driver turned to me and said, "You know something? You've got more nerve than I've got." And he looked out into the spooky blackness and shuddered. I got out, and he drove off. I studied the layout around me carefully...to see if anything, or anyone, moved in the shadows or along the ground...but everything seemed all right. 16 It was icy cold, and a powerful wind was blowing...blowing so strong you could hear it on the tape recorder. Pitch black dark...very spooky. I walked through the darkness up the second road...then as soon as I could make out the clump of trees to my right I wheeled and ran over into them, out of sight completely from the road...or any other place, for that matter. I lay down on my right side under the cliff...in the pitch black darkness...and telepathed to the SI's. In my prone position...I had the big advantage of being able to see low...that is, if I stood up, it was so dark I could see almost nothing...except the sky. But down flat on the ground...I could see the rise of the hill where'd I'd come up outlined against the sky...so that if anyone tried to trail me up the hill, I had an excellent chance to spot them. Suddenly there was a UFO right up over me. Then a second UFO flashed over me. Then two more UFO's flashed right over me. It was incredible to me...they were so numerous...so wondrous to see. Next an airplane flew onto the scene...no doubt from the Warminster Army Base, to check out all those UFO's. (I got this on tape.) Finally a last, beautiful UFO fluttered over me...flashing on and off, silent, darting about in sudden, quick movements which only a UFO can do. I realized with a sort of shock that five (5) UFO's had been directly up over me, this night! At time to leave my stand...I walked down the dark hill to the dead end gate, and climbed over. But no taxi. So...I decided to just keep on walking down the pitch black dark hill road. Am glad that I did...because in a few minutes, to my left...I saw something moving...stopped, and observed it. It was a baby sheep. So cute and darling. Standing to my left, just beside the road...chewing grass in the night darkness. Close by to it, was a second baby sheep...just as cute. I watched them for a while, then continued walking down the road. Finally the lights of the taxi shown in the distance, as it came driving up the country hill road...and when he reached me, walking down, he apologized for being late. Actually...in all the many, many nights I went out to haunted castles and haunted hills to rendezvous with the UFO's...and the flock of taxi drivers who'd taken me out then returned to get me, later on...this was the first, and only, time a driver had goofed. Quite remarkable, I think. When I got back to my hotel, I made a strange discovery. There were five red dots on the palm of my left hand...and they burned like they were afire. Then I made another startling discovery...my "cross" ring had vanished off my left hand. Of my several rings, this one was my favorite...because it had tremendous sentimental value (actually, it was given to me, in a way, by the UFO's themselves)...so, I was horrified. Next morning, early bright, I called the taxi and went out to Cradle Hill, to my "stand" from the night before. As I searched around in the grass for the ring...a car pulled up close to me, on the lonely road (I'd left the taxi driver waiting, far down the hill) and uniformed military officers got out of the car. I thought...oh oh...now what? But they studiously avoided looking at me, although they were quite close by...and sort of walked around in the field near me. I left, went back down the hill into town...went to the local newspaper and put a reward offer for the ring in the classified section...then went to the cab office and told the manager I'd give a reward to any taxi drivers who might run across the ring. Then I returned to my hotel, and had supper. When I reached into my pants pocket for my billfold...there was my favorite "cross" ring in the pocket. No way. My pockets are jammed up with objects...scissors, knives of all sizes and shapes, documents, pens and pencils, and so on into the night. And I know where each object is at all times. The materials are all skillfully, intelligently organized. I can instantly reach into any pocket and take out any object I want. The ring simply could not have jumped from the little finger of my left hand...into my pants pocket. Impossible. But...I was delighted to be able to say hello to it again! 17 That evening I told the taxi driver to take me to Cradle Hill again...but he surprised me by saying, "I thought that you said you wanted to go to Starr Hill some evening. Why not go there tonight?" Previous to this, no taxi driver had opened his mouth to suggest that I go anywhere...unless I asked him first. So...this unsolicited idea-suggestion came as a surprise. So I told him...okay. He drove us far out into the country, up a winding road, onto a hill...and he said then the SI's comm'd...and instructed me to leave this place alone...and to go to the odd-looking, pointy hill called Copheap, off Elm St. I so instructed the taxi driver...who turned the taxi around in the darkness and drove all the way back to the Cradle Hill area...let me off on the dark road at the bottom of Copheap. I walked across a long, dark field toward the black bulk of the hill...then laboriously climbed up the steep hill in the blackness of the night. Lots of trees and logs...some of which I tripped and fell over, since I never used a light. Up, up onto the top of the hill. It was very very cold. Below and over to the side were the lights of the town. The top of the hill where I stood, slowly circling...was inky black...thick with trees and bushes. It was an absolutely fine SI rendezvous spot...except that, oddly, I sensed intelligence down underneath my feet...and wondered if, perhaps, the army had a secret layout built inside this hill. There's one in West Germany like that...I know because an ex-intelligence man confided in me. Might add here that, while climbing up the hill...two flare-like lights shot up over the hill...but I suspect that they were army devices. Didn't seem like UFO phenomena to me. After a long while...and after telepathing to the SI's...my head began to ache and throb. Something told me...I'd reached the absorption point...the point of no return...from the forces of SI--remodification. So I quickly packed up the equipment and started climbing down the dark, steep hill. As I did so...a sword UFO appeared...brilliant white light with radiating spokes...at ground level, not up in the air...and it followed my descent, followed my every move, as I moved across the dark field toward the road. It seemed like an eye watching me, and I waved a hand to it in friendly greeting. While crossing the darkness of the long field...I heard a human cough over to my left, twice...would estimate 50-100 feet distance...so quite obviously I was under human surveillance. The taxi met me at the road, and I returned to the hotel. I felt awful...my head ached; my body ached; and just deep down...I felt terrible. The feeling is indescribable. The SI's must have really unloaded on me, up there on the hill, their powers for remodification. At this point I knew for a certainty that under no circumstances must I expose myself further to SI remodification...because most certainly it would result in damage to me. They do not have limited, human bodies...they have other-dimensional life forces; other physical laws govern them...so it must be up to me to say "enough" when I've had enough. And I have. The next day a newspaper reporter came to the hotel for an interview for a local paper. Also, the SI's comm'd...and instructed me...warned me, in fact...not to proceed further in meeting with them. That remodification had been, in fact, accomplished by them. They told me to rest as much as possible...that it would take time, earth-time, for the other-dimensional forces they had planted in my brain to grow and become effective for use. How long, I asked them back...but there was no reply on that. I inquired re the purpose of the remodification...and received encapsulated intelligence...that the hundreds of miracles which I had accomplished heretofore, with my half alien brain, were as nothing compared to the miracles that I will be able to accomplish in the future...with this remodification process. And...my SI brain will be used to help the human race in a most peculiar manner. They want me to become a sort of "world fireman"... 18 dashing off to one country after another...using other-dimensional powers in a constructive, creative manner...to "put out world-fires"; i.e., catastrophic events harming the human race yet not helping Nature...I'd use the analogy of the control of useless pain, wherein a person is tortured and racked by, say, cancer pain...so that the pain is controlled by drugs, hypnosis, etc., because Nature uses pain as a most useful mechanism, ordinarily...but there are situations in which pain has no use at all...and therefore must be controlled or eliminated by cutting nerves, using drugs, etc. Well...a geographical area in the world could be beset by "useless pain" in the same manner, causing woe to the humans in that area. A hurricane, say, headed for Miami, Florida...would serve no useful purpose to Nature, but would cause humans "pain" as it spun towards the large cities. A terrible drought in Africa or India...would be considered "useless pain" to the humans in that area. A volcano blowing its top and spewing its lava down toward populated cities or towns...would be an emergency to be controlled by myself and the SI's. And so on. Well, I have documented the control of hurricanes, droughts, and volcano control...already, in the past...by myself and the SI's. But ahead in time...I will be able to do it more easily and quickly...and on a far more powerful scale...at least that's what they indicate to me. And of course...there are many many more world-situations which could conceivably occur as an emergency situation for the humans in various world areas...for me to go to, and control. For some reason unbeknownst to me...the SI's wish my physical presence, around the globe, at the location of the miracle to be brought about. I've pointed out to them that I have no money...and it would take a fortune to do this sort of thing for them. And that's where it stands with regard to my buying airplane tickets, supplies, etc., to go packing off to India, Egypt, Africa, etc., to help there in those places. They gave me no answer on it. But I cannot conceive that they would go to all of the trouble that they have gone to...to get me to Europe to redo my brain...only to let the infinitely-intelligent plan fall through because of my lack of human money to carry it out. Arthur Shuttlewood came over to the hotel...presented me with a carboncopy of his new book, "Invisible Worlds"...which contains a chapter on me and my work, and I packed up and took a taxi to the train station. There a man dressed in black, wearing black gloves, paced all around me, watching me. Got onto the train...and the same man in black kept walking back and forth outside my compartment, glancing in at me. Went to eat in the diner...and he came in, took a table, and watched me. He had the strange mustache-beard that the man in the "other" car had had, which kept following me up to Cradle Hill then back to my hotel. Could easily have been the same man. Forgot to mention...had a deep cut on my thigh this morning, with red edges around it. About two inches long, puffed and swollen. There was no way...I could have gotten this cut on my thigh during the night...and didn't have it before. Arrived in London, and took a taxi to the Waldorf Hotel (not to be confused at all with the Waldorf-Astoria in New York!) Room rates reasonable. Was worn out and exhausted...from the SI work, I suppose...so just took it easy the rest of the day. Next morning was astonished to discover that I'd slept through...not to morning, excuse me...but 3PM in the afternoon! I couldn't believe my watch! When I awoke, it seemed like my usual 9 AM waking. But 3 PM in the afternoon! Unbelievable, to me. Further, my eyes were red...and there was a redness on my upper chest and neck...when I touched it, it turned white, like sunburn does. Except I hadn't been under any sun! What happened last night? Also my brain was groggy and fuzzy. My reflexes were cockeyed...slow. I felt weak. When I went outside to walk...I found myself 19 walking aimlessly, without purpose or direction...quite unlike me. I felt all muddled up inside, and confused. Almost got hit by cars half a dozen times. My timing was bad, and could not judge how to cross streets...I kept zigging when I should have been zagging. In short...I was not myself; not Ted Owens...sure- footed, fast moving, fast reflexes, knowing usually where I was going and what I was doing. Was almost as if there were another intelligence inside of me...sharing me, you might say...and it had not yet adjusted to my bodily reflexes and mental processes. Would take some time for it to adjust to my unit; my mechanism (body and mind). But...if this disorganized state of affairs would be due to a post-reaction to the work the SI's did on me...then I'd just have to wait to get over it. I remembered the first time the SI's had modified my brain...in Mexico...and it took years to get over it. I'd become disorganized and confused, and wandered for some years...quite unlike my natural self...until my mind had cleared. I remembered the policeman in that famous case...the UFO named Floyd...and the cop had shot at it. Afterward he went haywire...quit his police job...left his wife and kids...and went wandering off to California, where he dropped from sight. Close exposure to SI work...can have this effect on a human mechanism. And I had just b een over-exposed to a great deal of close exposure to many many UFO's! The shock of the UFO work on me, I concluded, was just hitting me. I spent days making copies of my original tapes; fearful that something might happen to my originals before I got back...wanting a spare set. And as I made the copies, playing the originals over...I got headaches and dropped off to sleep several times in midday. I hoped that in some way I was not being re-exposed to the SI powers. The next day...I was my old self again. Sharp and clear; thinking decisive and logical. Timing perfect. Now a phrase kept creeping into my mind...and I realized that a scrap of material was penetrating into my conscious mind, in spite of the fact that the SI's had undoubtedly given me posthypnotic amnesia: "The hill is the only reality...your life is an illusion." If the SI's had given me this sort of powerful hypnotic suggestion, while they "had" me...then it would explain my positive love for Urquehart Castle, and the various haunted places I went to at night. My craving to go back, night after night, into the black darkness...without any fear whatsoever. Cautious apprehension with regard to human thugs, yes...but absolutely no fear of the darkness or the UFO entities that I knew were out there. Also a face kept coming to me in my dreams...and during waking. The face of an alien female. Tiny face; metallic (not human skin)...but her eyes were the main thing. Like silver metal...with just a small dark dot in the center. Not like our eye-pupil whatsoever. Cute, sexy little face she had. I reckoned that somehow my mind was recalling a few bits and pieces of what had happened; what I'd seen, etc. Her face was moonshaped; had an elfin expression. The thought came to me...that if the SI's "boosted" the power in my right lobe, and modified its mechanism...then it would naturally take time for the left lobe, the human half of my brain...to adjust and get into a balance...with the right lobe. A few more fascinating things to mention. While at Mayo Clinic a young lady called me long distance from Beaufort, North Carolina. (Still do not know how she got my phone number at my hotel in Rochester, Minnesota.) Anyway, while we were chatting... suddenly she said something which had nothing whatever to do with our conversation. 20 She said, out of the blue..."Do you like to go fishing?" We'd been talking about her recent visit to my home in Virginia...and I couldn't see any connection whatsoever to what we were talking about. I blinked, at a loss for words...then gave her some kind of answer. She didn't explain the strange sentence interjected into our conversation. Then I met a young lady there at Mayo Clinic...a registered nurse...who volunteered to come up to the hotel and keep me company, so that I wouldn't be lonesome. She'd sit, knitting, and we'd chat. She discov ered during our conv ersations that I was planning to move out from our Virginia home...and actually volunteered to fly to Virginia and help me...because my bi lateral hernia operation would make it difficult for me to move without help from some quarter. After I left Mayo she flew to Virginia, and helped my family pack things...she cooked for us...she gav e priceless help, where help was needed. As I drove her to her plane she said to me..."Ted, do you like to go fishing?" I was dumfounded. That same sentence...spoken out of context with any conversation we were having. The thought occurred to me...had I been programmed somewhere along the way by US Govt. agents and given this posthyp trigger? The way it was done...would simply exclude coincidence. But...it happened again. During the few days in London while I was making tape copies, and trying to relax...I went out to dinner in Soho. Afterward, before returning to the hotel...was walking down the street...about 47th and Frith, I think it was...and a strikingly beautiful young blonde womanin a mink coat walked toward me, a smile on her face...and stopped briefly beside me...looking up into my eyes and smiling. It was an open invitation, and instantly I recalled having read of the London street prostitutes...yet she didn't seem like a pro hustler at all. I smiled back at her, then proceeded on walking. But I glanced back...and saw two men accost her (they'd witnessed her brief pause with me)...and to my surprise she turned up her nose at them...wouldn't speak or look at them...and she walked quickly up the street and turned the corner, out of sight. A while later, after I'd idly gawked into windows up and down different streets...I dropped into a pub to have a b eer before returning to the hotel. Was standing at the bar, sipping the lager...when who m pops up in front of me but this same pretty girl, smiling into my face. She said, "I've a place inside. Are you interested?" Another invitation. "Come on," she said, "I like you. I really do. DO YOU LIKE TO GO FISHING?" I politely disengaged myself from her and returned to the hotel. But was shaken b y this exact, third use of that what must be a key sentence. Well, finally got onto a Jumbo jet back to New York...when the last, astonishing thing happened. I was back in the third section of the play in all three sections. Our movie started...then the sound went haywire. The air hostess went to everyone and offered to refund their money. I asked if the other two movies had gone haywire. No, she said...they are fine. I asked her if it was usual for the sound to go crazy during one of these airborne movies. No, she said...it was the first time in all the years she'd been working the planes...and she added that the flight engineer couldn't understand it. I told her about my things like that to happen constantly at my home in Virginia...and shoved her a few books and mags re my work. Then my favorite cigar lighter vanished from my top pocket. No way it could have gotten lost. Lighted a cigar; put the lighter inside my pocket carefully...and it was gone! Hostesses came over and searched me, my bag, under the seats...nothing. After I got off the plane a man came running into Customs after me...said the lighter had turned up...and he gave it to me. That made 20 pounds; my knife; my ring; and now my lighter...vanishing. Luckily I got through Customs without getting racked up for not declaring stuff in Queens. Closing now. Millie, the SI's and I are forever in your debt for that European work. And George, the same, for keeping me going at home. Ted. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

There I spent many, many nights on Loch Ness...communicating with the "Loch Ness Monster". It came up twice in front of me. Also I communicated, there in the dead of night...with UFO's...and they appeared all around me. One came down to where I was. One night on famous Cradle Hill, outside Warminster, about 1 AM in the morning...while I stood in the dark...the "Tin Bird" sound, made by UFO's (read Arthur Shuttlewood's great book, "Warnings From Flying Friends"...meaning UFO's...in which he describes this sound coming from UFO's...) anyway this weird sound came to me as the UFO came down to where I was...and I have it on my tape recorder. Matter of fact...all those nights spent in haunted castles, on Loch Ness, on famous "UFO hills" like Cradle Hill, Elm Hill, etc....were taped by my tape recorder. And the tapes are priceless. It takes me, under the conditions which I work...two days to make a duplicate set of tapes from my seven originals (I used hour tapes...try to get them onto 90's). Very well. For those few people who would like a complete set of these priceless tapes...with me in person, night after night after night at Stonehenge, at Urquhart Castle, at Old Sarum Castle, on Cradle Hill...and much more...(and bear in mind that I had to actually break into many of these places...like a burglar...in order to do my work)... I will personally take two days and make you a duplicate set of tapes...plus a complete written report...astounding report...only one of its kind... for any of you who will contribute $100 or more to my work and research. Not only my work and research...but this year I must write a complete book of my incredible life (and remember that I have accomplished hundreds of miracles...most of them fully documented) and your money will help me to get this done. Not only will you get the set of priceless tapes...and the fully written report...but I will keep your name on a special list and after my book is published, will send you an autographed copy.

PRESIDENT IDI AMIN today postponed the execution of condemned Briton Denis Hills but insisted that only a personal visit by British For- eign Secretary James Calla- ghan could save his life. Within hours of the arrival of a British embassy carrying an appeal for clemency from the Queen, President Amin announced that Mr Hills, a 61- year-old lecturer, would be shot on Monday - two days later than originally planned. (Cont. on page 4) 'Time is running out' for 2 Britons warns Idi Amin PRESIDENT IDI AMIN said in Kampala yesterday the door is still open for the British government to discuss the fate of two Britons facing execution. But the Ugandan leader warned 'time is running out.' Uganda Radio, monitored here, said President Amin was speaking at a meeting yesterday with the Acting British High Commissioner in Kampala, James Hennessy. The sentenced Britons are 61-year-old university lecturer Denis Hills, convicted of trea- son and already sentenced to death, and 38-year-old trader Stanley Smolen, who is accused of food hoarding, a capital of- fence. Hennessy handed to Pre- sident Amin a signed letter from British Prime Minister Harold Wilson replying to a six- point ultimatum given by Pre- sident Amin to Britain last week for the release of the two Britons, the radio said. Nairobi, June 18/ Deadline President Amin told Mr. Hen- nessy that British Foreign Sec- retary James Callaghan or De- fence Minister Roy Mason should fly out for talks with him be- fore his 10-day deadline for com- pliance with his ultimatum ex- pires Saturday. Mr. Callaghan has already indicated in the House of Com- mons his willingness to visit Kampala for talks - but said he would undertake such a mis- sion only if humanity prevails in the cases of the two Bri- tons. This was taken to mean the death sentences would have to be rescinded before he visited Uganda. Delegation President Amin said whoever came to Uganda must be ac- companied by a military dele- gation to discuss Uganda's re- quirements of spare parts for British-supplied armaments. This was one of President Amin's six conditions. The others included the cessation of all anti-Uganda propaganda by Britain and in the British press and the return of all Ugan- dan exiles living in Britain. President Amin said his rul- ing Defence Council was mak- ing arrangements on when and where to implement the death sentence on Mr. Hills, who was ordered to face a firing squad by a five-man military tribu- nal last Wednesday. He was accused of referring to President Amin in a manus- cript as 'a village tyrant.' --AP ONE BRITON ACQUITTED IN UGANDA Nairobi, June 19 BRITISH businessman Stan- ley Smolen, who was facing a possible death penalty in Uganda on a hoarding charge, was acquit- ted today, Radio Uganda re- ported. The radio said that Mr. Smo- len has been acquitted of all charges by a Uganda military tribunal. Mr. Smolen had pleaded not guilty to hoarding cooking oil and soap, an offence which no- rmally calls for a prison senten- ce. But President Idi Amin had warned that Mr. Smolen could have a firing squad if found guilty. (Cont. on page 2) ONE BRITON ACQUITTED IN UGANDA (Cont. from page 1) After being acquitted, Smol- en, 38, was received by Presid- ent Amin, who congratulated him and told him that it was now clear that Uganda justice was fair and not a fake, the radio said. Smolen, who was allowed to go free as soon as he was ac- quitted, thanked the General for his kindness, the radio said. --Reuter Another Briton, 61-year-old lecturer Denis Hills, faced exe- cution by firing squad this week- end following his conviction on a treason charge on June 11. In London, a British Foreign Office spokesman welcomed the news of Smolen's acquittal. He said: "We are glad that clemency has now been shown to Mr. Smolen." British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan has said he would be prepared to visit Uganda for talks with President Amin if the two Britons were treated humanely. After the news of Smolen's acquittal was announced, Uganda Radio said that the Deputy Police Superintendent who ar- rested Mr. Smolen has now been arrested himself for misinform- ing the military tribunal and if found guilty would be executed by firing squad. --Reuter EGYPTIAN GAZETTE 6/20/75 The Lunatic Tyrant of Uganda If Adolf Hitler had been created by Evelyn Waugh, the hybrid would be very like General Idi Amin, the lunatic tyrant of Uganda. But General Amin cannot be dismissed as a figure of fun: the crisis that he has precipitated between Britain and Uganda is too serious for that. Denis Cecil Hills, a British citizen and lecturer, is now scheduled to be executed July 4 for making disparaging remarks about General Amin in a book that remains unpublished. Mr. Hills, 61, characterized General Amin in his manuscript as a "village tyrant." He was arrested, charged with treason, and condemned to die by a military tribunal in Uganda. The execution was postponed when two British representatives arrived in Uganda with a personal plea from Queen Elizabeth. But General Amin now says that Mr. Hills will not be spared unless British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan flies to Uganda to negotiate a political settlement. General Amin is demanding spare parts for British-made military equipment, the expulsion from Britain of refugees from Uganda, and the ending of "malicious propaganda" against Uganda. The British Foreign Office is maintaining a stiff upper lip; the British are not only concerned for the fate of Mr. Hills but the future of the 700 British citizens remaining in Uganda. General Amin obviously wants to humiliate the British for his own personal reasons. "I am only fierce to the British because I want these people to kneel down at my feet," he said in a speech delivered June 13 in the main square of Kampala, the capital of Uganda, and broadcast over the radio. It ought to be noted that the envoy from the Queen was Lieutenant General Sir Chandos Blair, who formerly served in the King's African Rifles in Uganda before the British colony was declared independent in 1962. General Amin was a sergeant under his command. General Blair was accompanied by Ian Graham, a retired army major who once was General Amin's battalion commander. According to Radio Uganda, the two British officers approached "on their knees" to beg that Mr. Hills be spared. But General Amin has since stated in a cablegram to the Queen that the British envoy behaved rudely and acted as if he were still General Amin's commanding officer, so the report seems untrue. In any event General Amin's anxiety to humiliate his old officers is a touch that a novelist -- Graham Greene, perhaps -- would understand. General Amin is a gaudy villain in the 19th Century tradition, an antagonist for the likes of Chinese Gordon or Lord Kitchener. In dealing with him 20th Century diplomacy is unsuitable. It's a shame that gunboats are out of style. Amin Says Briton to Be Spared KINSHASA, Zaire (AP)--President Idi Amin of Uganda Tuesday said that he has decided to pardon Denis Hills, the British lecturer who was ordered to be shot by a firing squad on Friday for describing Amin as a village tyrant in an unpublished book. The national news agency Zaire Presse said Amin told a news conference he will respond favorably to a clemency request from President Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire because Hills' confession showed he was at the service of his mentors. He gave no indication of who the mentors were. The 61-year-old Hills, a resident of Uganda for 11 years, was convicted of high treason by a Ugandan military court. Amin, on a 48-hour visit to Zaire, said he planned to inform the British charge d'affaires in Kinshasa of his decision to spare Hills. Zaire Presse also quoted the Ugandan leader as saying he wants Mobutu to act as a mediator in all matters between himself and the British government. Uganda decides fate of British lecturer today Nairobi, June 22. THE fate of British lecturer Dennis Hills, under sentence of death by firing squad for treason, will be decided tomorrow by the Ugandan Defence Council, Uganda radio said today. The radio announced earlier that the execution of Mr Hills, set for tomorrow morning, had been postponed, after General Amin received an appeal from Queen Elizabeth delivered by Lieutenant-General Sir Chandos Blair and Major Iain Grahame, the Queen's other envoy. Both held the Defence Council meeting on a final decision on the Hills case. The radio quoted General Amin as saying it was up to the Defence Council, the supreme policy-making body in Uganda under the chairmanship of the President, to make the decision. The radio said that after the success of General Blair's visit to Uganda President Amin planned to send an envoy to London to establish afresh the relations between Britain and Uganda. All indications in Nairobi were that President Amin would recommend to the Defence Council that Mr Hills' life be spared, according to diplomatic sources. British government officials said today. The officials were commenting on a statement broadcast by the Uganda government radio that the Queen's envoys, Lt Gen. Sir Chandos Blair and Major Iain Grahame, had gone down on their knees to plead for the life of British teacher Dennis Hills. As a result of the plea, the radio said, President Amin postponed the execution of Hills set for tomorrow by firing squad on treason charges. British officials said General Blair and Major Grahame were received by President Amin on yesterday at his home at Arua, 300 miles northwest of Nairobi. The home, they said, is a native-style hut thatched with a doorway so low seven Amin has practically to enter on his knees to greet his guests. Reuter and AP. UGANDA: Kangaroo Court "He has done harm to his people... He has reimposed on Ugandans old habits of submission and servility that one hoped uhuru was eroding." The target of that broadside was none other than Uganda's President Idi Amin. And considering Amin's whimsical brutality, the criticism seemed temperate enough. The trouble was that the author of the remarks, British scholar Dennis Cecil Hills, lives inside the borders of Amin's kingdom. And when the Ugandan leader learned that, he ordered the 61-year-old Hills to stand trial for "treason" before a military court. Last week, Amin's court duly found Hills guilty. The sentence: death before a firing squad. CALLAGHAN MUST GO TO UGANDA' Amin puts off execution for another eleven days London, June 23. A BRITISH lecturer Dennis Hills will be executed in 11 days time unless British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan goes to Uganda, Uganda quoted President Idi Amin as saying today. Hills is under sentence of death for treason, but the sentence was postponed today after he received an appeal for clemency from Queen Elizabeth given today. Instead the execution was postponed yet again while General Amin reviewed his request for a visit by Mr. Callaghan, a request he also made last week. Radio Uganda today also quoted an emissary of Queen Elizabeth as telling President Idi Amin that he faces military repercussions by Britain if he sticks to his decision to execute British lecturer Dennis Hills. The Radio said the emissary, Lieutenant-General Sir Chandos Blair, threatened that Britain would use its forces stationed in Kenya against Uganda. In London, however, a army spokesman at the Ministry of Defence said: "We have no army units in East Africa at the moment and we are not sending any out currently on exercise." Mr. Callaghan has told the British Parliament he was willing to visit Uganda, but not under duress. General Amin, according to the Radio today, said the advice he received from his Defence Council was not to change his decision on Hills unless Mr Callaghan visited Uganda. He would be prepared to meet Mr. Callaghan at any time and the British Minister would receive a great welcome in Uganda. But he would have no choice but to implement his decision if Mr. Callaghan fails to go to Uganda, the Radio said. - Reuter moves Amin, there are 800 more British nationals living in Uganda whom he could use as pawns on his own political chessboard.

Briton Freed by Uganda KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Denis Hills, who almost went before a firing squad for calling Ugandan President Idi Amin a "village tyrant," was freed Thursday and flew home to England with British Foreign Secretary James Callaghan. The 61-year-old Hills, stepping aboard Callaghan's Royal Air Force plane with only a few possessions folded in a blanket, said he still loves Uganda. In freeing Hills, Amin declared his love for the British. Hills walked unannounced into Amin's command post home as the president was talking with Callaghan, who flew to Africa on a two-day mercy mission to try to patch up British-Ugandan relations and win Hills' release after Amin gave him a reprieve from execution. Standing beside Callaghan and Amin on the balcony of the house, Hills looked fit and untroubled despite three months in detention and his reported illness from cancer. "I am well. I am very happy," Hills said at Entebbe Airport, 20 miles away on Lake Victoria. "I would like to say how genuinely I have loved Uganda during my 12 years here and still do," he continued. "I am very sorry to be leaving Uganda. "But I will never forget its beauty, the kindness of its people, and my pleasure in teaching Ugandan students." Callaghan told newsmen after meeting with the mercurial Amin for 45 minutes that he is satisfied that more than 700 other Britons still living in Uganda are safe. He said top-level British and Ugandan officials will continue discussions to improve relations. Amin told newsmen he is "definitely pro-British" and wants to strengthen ties between Britain and its former colony. "I am not mad, as the British press has said," Amin declared. Marine Flier Still Missing After Crash NORFOLK A Marine Corps flier from Beaufort, S.C. was still missing late Wednesday after his F4 Phantom jet crashed shortly after taking off from the aircraft carrier Nimitz Tuesday. Capt. David E. Fritz, 32, a radar intercept officer assigned to Marine Fighter Squadron 333, ejected safely, a Navy spokesman said, but couldn't be located by rescue helicopters after the accident. Fritz's pilot, Capt. Eric Denkwalter, was rescued in good condition by a helicopter. The accident happened about 5:15 p.m. when the nuclear carrier was operating off the Virginia Capes. The destroyer Dale out of Mayport, Fla., is continuing the search. The Navy said it had no explanation for the crash. The aircraft had been among 600 Navy and Marine Corps Phantoms that had been grounded earlier this month after the crash of an F4. Tuesday, the Navy said that all the planes had been inspected for a defective control mechanism and were corrected or okayed for operations. Va.

Dreams Soccer Sans- Witch Kenya Asks for Soccer NAIROBI, Kenya (UPI)—Witchcraft is daunting some sports in Kenya, worried officials say. Medicine men who claim they make the ball disappear or cast a spell on opposing players with animal or bird charms are especially active in soc- cer, officials note. They have announced a new campaign to clean up witchcraft and expel the sorcerers from the trainer's bench. Kenya football federation secretary Obare Asiko warned clubs, fans and witch doctors that anyone found guilty of practicing spells will be subject to criminal prosecution and also face the wrath of the Kenya Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- mals. "Witchcraft should have no place in Kenya soc- cer," Asiko said. "The practice of witchcraft is de- grading our efforts to clean up soccer." An estimated 50 per cent of Kenya soccer clubs are thought to hire witch doctors or soothsayers to help them win matches. Competitions have been pe- riodically marred by witchcraft-inspired riots. The witch doctors themselves—many of whom have become extremely rich—claim they do no such tricks as making the ball disappear altogether or score at a vital moment, prevent- ing opposing players from scoring by freezing them, spurring players or even move the net back- wards. Recently, matches have been plagued by a se- ries of witchcraft incidents involving birds and ani- mals. At one game, fans nearly rioted when a pigeon was seen hovering near one goal area. The team claimed it was inspired by witchcraft and protested this team from scoring. The situation was saved only when police caught the bird and escorted it out of the stadium. At another game, fans claimed a dead cat found outside the stadium was also inspired by witchcraft. Last year altogether 14 medicine players and 10 leading team coaches were banned. But the sorcerers recently lost face in June, one that if they could beat a English soccer club, Norwich City, the Kenya team would consider witchcraft a myth. Norwich won every game. Norwich won every game.

Two boys, one 14 years old, the other 15, are arrested. A cab driver is held up and fatally shot on a street in Dallas, Texas. Two 14-year-olds and a 15-year-old are charged with the crime. An artist is brutally beaten to death in New York's Central Park in a struggle for his expensive bicycle. The police say five boys—two 18, one 15, one 13, and one 12—are responsible for the slaying. A grocer in Los Angeles, Calif., is murdered during a holdup. The accused are a 14-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy. The arresting officer says: "It was the most vicious thing I ever saw. First they shot him, then they chopped his face up. They told me they did it because he wouldn't sell them beer and started to give them a lecture." In New York, a 14-year-old boy is charged with the murder of a 63-year-old woman in her apartment in the South Bronx, a decaying slum area. He is held for seven weeks in a juvenile detention center. Detective Ralph Walker of the Seventh Homicide Zone said that the youth looked familiar when he took him to Family Court. Then he remembered that a professional artist had witnessed a slaying the year before and had supplied a drawing of the youth. The witness was brought in, identified the youth, and he was arrested for the 1973 New Year's Eve multiple-stabbing death of a 73-year-old man during a mugging as the victim left a subway station in the South Bronx. "This is his fourth arrest," said Detective Walker, referring to the 14-year-old boy, whose name was withheld in keeping with Family Court laws intended to protect the young. All four cases were for assault and robbery. The result was the deaths of two innocent people. The kid didn't even seem shook up when we charged him with the second murder. He knows he can get only 18 months. We can't cope with this court system. There's no real punishment. That New Year's Eve victim was an old cripple, and the perpetrator chopped him up nine times with a butcher knife. That's no juvenile delinquent in my book." Thousands of similar cases reported from across the country are symptoms of an alarming plague of violent crime committed by young people that is rapidly becoming one of our gravest problems. Not only has there been an astonishing increase, but more and more crimes are being committed by younger children. Seven- and eight-year-olds have been taken into custody for rape, robbery, and assault this year. One murder was attributed to an eight-year-old boy, another to a nine-year-old boy, a third to a nine-year-old girl. All used handguns to kill children approximately their own age, according to police. Between 1960 and 1974, according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports, the number of "juveniles" arrested for all ASIA Mrs. Gandhi with backers after court decision: Seeing the verdict from the viewpoint of political necessity Yet another PM, Prime Minister, etc. taken out. Indira Gandhi in the Dock The crowd packed the sweltering chamber of the High Court at Allahabad as Judge Jagmohan Lal Sinha entered the room. The tall, balding justice carried a 254-page document with him, but one short sentence told the story: "The election of the respondent to the Lok Sabha is declared void." With that, after four years of litigation, India's Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi, was, the judge ruled, found guilty of violating Indian electoral law in her 1971 campaign for Parliament. The decision instantly pitched India into the most tangled constitutional crisis in its 28-year history as an independent nation—and could force Mrs. Gandhi to resign the prime ministership that she has held for nine years. Within minutes of the ruling, Mrs. Gandhi's lawyer obtained a twenty-day stay of the decision, and aides of the Prime Minister announced that she would appeal the verdict to India's Supreme Court. There was "no question" of her resigning her office, they said. Mrs. Gandhi's strategy clearly was to muster public and political support, and leaders of her ruling Congress Party as well as thousands of her countrymen rallied to her side. But the court's action dealt a serious blow to Mrs. Gandhi's prestige, and the very next day she suffered a second setback. In a by-election in the western coastal state of Gujarat, the once invincible Congress Party was upset by an opposition coali-tion. It was a rare display of cooperation on the part of India's usually feuding minority parties—and a personal slap at the Prime Minister, who had campaigned vigorously and implored Gujarat's voters to back Congress candidates as a show of support for her policies. The Prime Minister tried virtually everything to beat back the challenge of the six-party Janata (People's) Front in Gujarat. Despite broiling temperatures that often shot up to 110 degrees, she spent days campaigning, visiting each of the state's nineteen districts and speaking at 120 political meetings. She allotted $20 million in government relief funds for the drought-ravaged area and promised irrigation projects and special assistance to Gujarat's untouchables. Nothing worked. Angry students forced her to flee from several rallies by hurling stones and sandals at her, and when the voters went to the polls last week, their reaction was almost equally harsh. The Congress Party—which had won 140 state-assembly seats in the last election—picked up a dismal 75 while the united opposition won 87. The significance of the opposition victory went far beyond the borders of Gujarat, for the election results were almost certain to spur a similar combined opposition assault on the Congress Party in India's national elections early next year. *Pandit*: Mrs. Gandhi's legal setback in Allahabad, her home town, was far spent nearly twenty times the permissible $4,500 in her campaign, illegally traveled in Indian Air Force planes and used government officials to campaign for her. The Prime Minister struggled for nearly four years to have the case thrown out of court, but that failed and so did her attempts to avoid testifying. Judge Sinha refused Mrs. Gandhi's request to file a deposition, and she sat on the witness stand for six and a half hours denying everything and blasting the charges against her as "highly exaggerated" and "baseless." In the end, Sinha disagreed. Although he dismissed several of the charges, the judge found the Prime Minister guilty on two counts: illegally using local policemen to set up equipment at her campaign appearances and illegally employing a government official as a campaign worker. *Chaos*: The verdict stunned India and split the nation into two camps. Mrs. Gandhi's opponents hailed the judge's ruling (on occasion comparing Sinha to Watergate judge John Sirica) and scheduled a week of demonstrations to protest her refusal to resign from office. The pro-Gandhi bloc was just as vocal. Nearly 2,000 supporters thronged the street outside her home, sending up the old chant: "We will face bullets and canes but will protect you." Hundreds of New Delhi shops were closed and buses canceled as expressions of support for the Prime Party urged her to remain in office because of "the need of the country to have the benefit of your dynamic leader- Newsweek, June 23, 1975 15 Engine Suspect RADAR DEMO June 28, 1975 Va. Pil. Oceana Jet Emergency Puts Fleet on Ground WASHINGTON (AP) - The Navy grounded all 139 of its multimillion dollar F14 fighter planes Friday because of suspected engine problems. It was the second grounding of frontline Navy aircraft this week. The Navy Thursday disclosed that its entire fleet of 600 F4 Phantom jet fighters had been grounded for safety inspections after a crash caused by control failure. (Home) Most F4s have cleared inspection and are free to fly again, the Navy said. The grounding of the $10-million F14s, the Navy's newest combat aircraft, was ordered after an F14 made an emergency landing Tuesday at the Oceana Naval Air Station. (Home) "The symptoms in that incident had certain similarities to earlier incidents experienced with the F14," a Navy announcement said. Two F14s were lost in crashes in January and the F14 fleet was grounded at that time. (Home) Later that same month, an F14 flying from the carrier Enterprise in the Indian Ocean experienced engine flameouts, but managed to return safely to the carrier. The January incidents involving the F14 are believed traceable to engine difficulties, Navy officials have said. In announcing the new F14 grounding, the Navy said it will last "until the investigation of the recent incident (at Oceana) can be completed and fully assessed." (AP) In event of emergency, the Navy said, the F14s will fly. The two-man crew escaped harm in the emergency landing of the F14 at Oceana. At the time, the Navy said a muffled explosion was heard, and fire erupted from the port engine after the plane took off. "While it is too early to report any firm details as to the cause," the Navy said in its grounding announcement, "it appears that the damage occurred in the left engine fan and compressor section." "It has not yet been determined whether the damage was occasioned by a foreign object or by an engine malfunction." Al Oceana Naval Air Station, Capt. D. L. Hancock, commander of Tactical Wings, Atlantic, was surprised to learn of the grounding. "It was the last thing I expected," he said. He declined, because of regulations, to specify the number of F14s at the station. "There are four Oceana-based squadrons with F14s on board. Beyond that, I am not at liberty to say." The Navy said 90 of the 433 F4s checked since they were grounded June 21 were found to be defective and in need of repair. The problem with the F4s centers in the tail-flap section of the control system. 6/25/75 Va. Pil. Flight Mishap By F14 Explosion, Fire Force Landing VIRGINIA BEACH-An F14 Tomcat jet made an emergency landing at Oceana Naval Air Station Tuesday after an explosion and fire in one of its engines. Spokesmen said there were no injuries. The F14 was from the Navy's Fighter Squadron 143. According to spokesmen, the jet took off from Oceana on a routine training flight about 12:30 p.m. There was a muffled explosion and an eruption of fire almost immediately after the plane became airborne, officials said. The jet reportedly was back on the ground within five minutes. The cause of the mishap is being investigated. The extent of damage to the $16-million jet hadn't been determined late Tuesday. Tomcats are new to the Navy and are said to be among the world's most sophisticated fighter planes. Va. Pil. 6/27/75 205 Jets Inspected After Crash WASHINGTON (AP) - About one-third of the Navy's 600 F4 Phantom jet fighters have been inspected after the entire force was grounded for safety checks, the Navy Thursday said. The grounding was disclosed five days after it was ordered following investigation of an F4 crash blamed on malfunction of part of the control system. There was no explanation for the delay in making the grounding public. The Navy said 205 Phantoms have been inspected and that 90 were found to be defective. The Phantoms will be returned to flying from aircraft carriers and ground bases around the world as each is inspected and cleared. RADAR DEMO RADAR DEMO The precautionary grounding resulted from an F4 crash April 9 into the Atlantic Ocean off Cape Hatteras, N.C. The crew bailed out safely, the Navy said. The Navy statement said investigation of that crash, conducted after the wreckage was fished out of the ocean, revealed a failure in the tail-flap section. Dr. Sprinkle June 23, 1976.....TO MY SCIENTISTS....Drs. Targ and Putoff; Dr. Hynek; Dr. Fogel; Dr. Sprinkle....A message straight from the UFO intelligence (sic) that I have worked for and with for ten years. Last night...the UFO intelligence...they instructed me to write to you a tough, hard, mean letter...to pass on to government agency connections, which they say you have. Fun and games...are over now. First, I personally would not send this letter. It would have to come from the UFO intelligence. Because this letter...might stop me from getting to Houston. But...the UFO intelligence have infinite intelligence...mine is very finite..so I will do as instructed. Let's take it from the top. For ten years...I have been demonstrating one miracle after another, and documenting it solidly. (The miracles caused by the UFO connection.) The scientists...and the United States government agencies...know this. Let's not keep on being coy and playing games about it. Either I am, or through the UFO connection. If I am...then the United States government should consider me more priceless than all the gold in China. If I am not...then no concern need be paid to this message from the UFOs. It's as simple as all that. IF I HAVE DONE MY MIRACLES...(and the government agencies know damn well I have)...then the U.S. should be supporting me; giving me funds with which to live, and to proceed. Obviously I cannot do everyday job and do my work for the UFO intelligence. I haven't the energy for that. Anyway, the UFO intelligence will not allow me to deviate and go into make-a-living job. Because they have looked for ages...for me...finally found me...and now need my help to try and save what is left of the human race, and modern civilization. In 1965 they had me go to the CIA and NASA and ask for a hundred thousand...to come in my work for them. Both CIA and NASA turned me down. Since then NASA was high-well been wiped out...and CIA, at this point...well, if you've been reading the papers and Newsweek...you know what condition CIA is in. Rosenbloom wouldn't listen to me...and he had to trade the Baltimore Colts away to escape from ruination. The Virginia Squires wouldn't listen to me, and they are now extinct. My picture at present...although I have accomplished over 300 miracles and (through the UFO intelligence and my Egyptian Connection) than all of the military forces of all the countries of the world combined...I am broke; in debt thousands of dollars; living in a broken down house infested with black-widow spiders; and my car is broken down; and no money is coming in, to speak of. Am scrambling just to keep my phone, electricity, water and rent from being turned off. Compare this...with the picture the UFO intelligence have for me...the human Ambassador to the United Nations, to represent them. They have proved it, through the miracles...so that is not so funny. I have demonstrated time and time and time again...that I am no hook or crackpot. Current Secretary of State, Ambassadors, President, Vice President, ad nauseam, have demonstrated no capabilities such as mine. So why should it be ridiculous that I represent the UFO intelligence to a world of humans? At any rate...for several years the UFO intelligence have been wanting to erase the present formula for the human race on the World Blackboard...and begin building a new formula. I, alone...have talked them out of it...so far. But their patience, and mine, has come to a complete end. What I need: A hundred thousand in cash, tax-free, with which to travel the world and do what the UFO intelligence want to help the human race. A safe-house deep in the forest somewhere...both for my safety and that of my family...with appropriate safeguards around that house. If you think that silly...think of this. Our President is so protected...but if he is killed by some idiot, then another person will take his place as president. BUT I CANNOT BE REPLACED WITH THE UFO MYSTERIES...THE SIS! And just think for a moment...if we are comparing me with Ford...can Ford control the City of Chicago? The country of France? The State of California? Can he stop an erupting volcano? Can he guide hurricanes? I have done all of these things, through my UFO connection...so the government agencies can well know...of Ford, or anyone else, for that matter, doing it...IS RIDICULOUS. IN SHORT...THIS HUMAN BEING, OF ALL THE HUMAN BEINGS IN AMERICA, IS PRICELESS AND CANNOT BE REPLACED. And yet, I have to live like a bum. If you don't believe it...come to my house and I will show you. Meanwhile the Congressmen pay their mistresses $10,000 a year or even more (I wish I had that, then my family could begin living.) Basketball and football stars are paid a million a year...Barbara Walters, a broadcaster, gets a million a year. THE NONE OF THEM COULD EVEN BEGIN TO COMPARE WITH WHAT I AM, WHAT I DO, OR WHAT I AM TRYING TO GET DONE. Well, the SIS, and myself, are sick of it. This is the end of the road. It right now. If that is the way this government, and this country wants it...okay. This is no ultimatum letter. From this point on...the SIS will start the tape again...as they had it running before I interfered and begged them to stop it temporarily...and they'll let the tape run out. I realize that I will go down...my family will, too...and so will the rest of the United States. But it has not been my choice. It has been the choice of the United States government...notified in advance for over ten years...but done nothing. Now let me make one thing perfectly clear. If you tend to take this letter lightly, then you are a fool. This letter...is the equivalent...of a hundred nuclear missiles... If you laugh...and do not believe me...then wait. O.

I was returning from Egypt, from Cairo via Rome, and showing my Saga magazine writeups to the stewardesses and others...particularly the page where the artist has my face looking up into the sky...where an airplane is being struck by lightning...and on the page are the words "Tornado Winds Rip Area." Then my plane began its approach to Kennedy Airport and the pilot told everyone to buckle seatbelts for landing.

When I went through customs the customs officer looked at my flight ticket...said, "You are lucky to be here. You know that, don't you?" I asked what hxe meant...and he told me that the plane ahead of ours had been struck by lightning; had crashed. Words to that effect. All of the action, move by odd move, is on my "crash" tape. I made tapes of every move and action of my trip to Egypt, and inside the secret rooms of the pyramids...and what I discovered there. And I discovered secrets certainly not known to modern men. (While in Cairo a prominent Egyptian scientist sought me out...and we had quite a visit together! It is on the tapes.) I have only made one duplicate set of the Egyptian tapes...and anyone wanting them will have to contribute $200 or more to my work and research. It took me a full week to make Millie's tapes for her.

Also on the tapes: when I read about the two Englishmen who were slated to be shot by firing squads by President Amin...I contacted the British Embassy...who sent their man over to me...and I told him that I would use my powers to save the two men, and get them released. At that time Amin was adamant about it. By this date they have both been released. Sure...the British Government took steps...but my powers work in a thousand ways. The other material is self-explanatory. There were so many military plane crashes IN THIS AREA that the government grounded those type of planes everywhere. It was caused by my radar demonstration of some time ago. The power is still very active here. Also...the SI's and I are concentrating on eliminating bad leaders around the world. Indira Gandhi is one...and she's on her way out. Amin is another...he'll go. Mrs. Peron is another...she'll go. And so on. Am in the midst of an emergency now...have to raise a bundle of money or will have to discontinue my work entirely...and then? But it is holding me up from typing the full report of my Egyptian trip, and my findings there. Too bad the government will not subsidize my work. Ted Owens (PK Man) Owens U.S. 1-Plane Record; Lightning a Suspect By ARTHUR EVERETT NEW YORK (AP) -- An Eastern Air-lines 727 jet, coming in for a landing in a thunderstorm, crashed and burned just short of Kennedy International Airport Tuesday, killing all 113 passengers and eight crew members. The crash was the worst single-plane disaster in the history of U.S. aviation. The plane, carrying 113 passengers and eight crew members, was a nonstop flight from New Orleans. At least two witnesses said they saw lightning strike the aircraft just before it crashed. A third witness said he saw a bright explosion and glow into an area of parkland north of the airport. En route to its resting place, the big airliner spun across heavily traveled Rockaway Boulevard and flipped upside down. The first doctor on the scene minutes later said: "It was a lot of smoke; people were screaming and yelling." The death toll eclipsed the loss of 98 lives in the Dec. 29, 1972, crash of an Eastern Airlines jetliner in the Everglades near Miami, previously the worst single-plane domestic air crash. The nation's worst air disaster involved the collision of a United Airlines DC8 and a Trans World Airlines Superconstellation above Staten Island in 1960. That crash claimed 128 lives. In the Kennedy crash, luggage, bodies, and debris from the shattered jetliner were scattered over a five-acre patch of undeveloped land. George Van Epps, in charge of an investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board, said about the reports that the plane was hit by lightning. "It's certainly something that will be considered in the investigation," he said. Epps said that at least two previous crashes, in the 1960s, were attributed to lightning, one of them a Pan American plane at Elkton, Md., and the other a TWA airliner in Rome. "Transcribed by Pilot" and Paul Vernon, a Niagara County pilot, said he was driving on Rockaway Boulevard and saw the plane to his right had went about 500 yards, then hit the ground. "I saw almost nothing of the plane until hit by lightning," said Virgil Horton, 61, who was pumping gas at a nearby service station.

Pilot 6/25/75 By ARTHUR EVERETT NEW YORK (AP) — An Eastern Airlines 727 jetliner coming in for a landing in a thunderstorm crashed and burned just short of Kennedy International Airport Tuesday. More than 100 people were killed in the crash, the worst single-plane disaster in the history of U.S. aviation. The plane, carrying 115 passengers and eight crew members, was a nonstop flight from New Orleans. At least two witnesses said they saw lightning strike the aircraft just before it tore through three landing-approach light stanchions and plow into an area of parkland north of the airport. En route to its resting place, the big airliner spun across heavily traveled Rockaway Boulevard and flipped upside down. The first doctor on the scene minutes later said: "It was full of smoke; people were screaming and yelling." The death toll eclipsed the loss of 98 lives in the Dec. 29, 1972, crash of an Eastern TriStar jetliner in the Everglades near Miami, previously the worst single-plane domestic air crash. The nation's worst air disaster involved the collision of a United Airlines DC8 and a Trans World Airlines Superconstellation above Staten Island in 1960. That crash claimed 134 lives. In the Kennedy crash, luggage, bodies, and debris from the shattered jetliner were scattered over a five-acre patch of undeveloped land. George Van Epps, in charge of an investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board, was asked about reports that the plane was struck by lightning. "It's certainly something that will be considered in the investigation," he said. Epps said that at least two previous crashes in the 1960s were attributed to lightning, one of them a Pan American plane at Elkton, Md., and the other a TWA airliner in Rome. "Lightning hit the plane," said Paul Morad, a Nassau County police officer. "It tilted to the right and went about 20 more yards, then hit the ground." "I am almost positive the plane was hit by lightning," said Neal Hairden, 23, who was pumping gas at a nearby service station. The plane, Flight 66, was banking low on its approach to Kennedy at about 4:08 p.m., 23 minutes behind its scheduled 3:45 p.m. landing. One of the passengers, Egon Luftaas of Norway, badly burned in the crash, said at the Jamaica Hospital emergency room: "Going in for a landing, the pilot went too much to the left. You know, with one wing down, not two. Then there was an explosion. Everyone was flinging around. After that I only remember fire."

Pilot June 26, 1975 Capricious Winds A Possible Cause In Jetliner Crash NEW YORK (AP) — Wind shears — capricious and powerful swerves and surges of wind — may have been what slammed an Eastern Airlines Boeing 727 to the ground in a thunderstorm as it approached Kennedy International Airport Tuesday. But a safety official also recounted Wednesday that a small, light airplane landed safely just ahead of the big jet from New Orleans, in which more than 100 people perished. Lightning also was a possible cause put before the big team of investigators assembled at the airport by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). A number of witnesses say the plane was struck by a bolt of lightning and went down. (A spokesman for the NTSB said there has been only one previous case in U.S. aviation history where lightning has been cited as the cause of a crash. (That clearcut case he said occurred Dec. 8, 1963, when a Pan American World Airways 707 crashed near Elkton, Md., and killed all 81 on board. He said the investigation revealed that lightning touched off an explosion of a fuel-air mixture in the wing tank. (There was a crash near Milan, Italy, June 26, 1959, in which all 68 aboard a Trans World Airlines Superconstellation were killed. The Italian government concluded that the cause was an explosion set off by static electricity. Most investigators, he said, would say that static electricity wouldn't have been present without lightning. (A random three-year check of general aviation statistics revealed that one aircraft accident a year is caused by lightning, he added. (The NTSB spokesman said that lightning frequently strikes commercial airliners, but that they are designed and built to protect the craft and passengers from serious damage. "Serious damage from lightning," he said, "is rare." ("The basic reason is that aircraft are not sitting ducks, like a golfer on a golf course. They aren't grounded. If struck, the wing skin might be pitted or the crew blinded temporarily by the flash, but no real damage occurs from the bolt itself, which passes through the craft back into the atmosphere. ("There is no case in which lightning destroyed the airframe, or damaged it to the extent that the plane couldn't fly," the spokesman said. (The problem develops where there is a fuel leak that can be ignited, causing an explosion, when the lightning hits, he said). The flaming crash late Tuesday afternoon was one of the worst air disasters in U.S. history and the first major crash in New York in a decade.

You will understand what I am talking about when I get the material to you. But what I am talking about now is...I predict utter catastrophe for the United States in time ahead...financially...if I am ruined because of inability to cover the bank and American Express. I.e., if I am ruined, then so will the United States be ruined. I do not think you will laugh at this, if you have paid any attention at all to my past predictions...and past demonstrations. Just wanted to get this on the record with you...before the deadline. Right now am having to hold up making tapes for you of my Egyptian finds, psi-force-wise, in the pyramids...am having to hold up my voluminous written report...until this vital emergency is over, one way or the other.

Dr. Fogel, Dr. Sprinkle, Dr. Targ, Dr. Putoff, Dr. Arenas Gentlemen A friend is having this typed for me. My right arm is shattered and I cannot write or type and will not be able to do so for some time. An extraordinary series of events has occurred since my trip to Egypt and it is absolutely necessary for me to recount the things that have happened. Before preceding further I must point out that on the trip back from Egypt after I had been inside the pyramids and made contact with powers, the age old intelligence placed inside the pyramids long ago, the airplane ahead of my plane was struck by lightning at the Kennedy Airport and blown up and I was tied in to this event, which the documentation will indicate to you, when I get it to you. I have not been able to do so yet because of my injury. Also there is a tape I want to send you made on that airplane before and after the other plane was hit by lightning ahead of us, and you must listen to that tape when I'm able to make it for you and send it to you, to go with the documentation. After coming back home from Egypt, my thirteen-year-old son, Beau, accidentally thrust his right hand through a plate-glass window, almost severing his thumb. The next week my four-year-old son, Teddy, stepped on a broken Coca-Cola bottle, inflicting various cuts on his foot plus one deep cut requiring hospital treatment and X-rays. I, at this point, began to wonder if there was a pattern to this, noting that my wrist watch had malfunctioned and I must send it off for repair-my pocket Sony recorder had malfunctioned, and I must send it off for repair-the muffler fell off my car and the car was malfunctioning-then on August third, Sunday night, while walking through the living room, I felt something grab, seize, my right foot. The memory of what next happened is hazy, it was so fast. I fell and could hear a loud snapping noise and I knew instantly that my right arm was broken. Now, before going further, let me explain. I spent years learning to fall without being injured as a judo man. I studied under Johnny Osako in Chicago and spent weeks and weeks falling sideways, frontwards, backwards, and never in my life, in fact, have I ever fallen and broken anything up until now. As an athlete, I fought in the ring as a boxer; I had been on a semi-pro basketball team; in short, all my life, I had been an athlete; I never have fallen and hurt myself. Futhermore, I actually have been a professional dancer, having taught dancing as a teacher for Arthur Murray Studio for quite a long period of time, thus my footwork is very graceful, catlike, and it would be most unusual for me to even fall, let alone become injured from the fall. At any rate, I took my aching arm to our car and drove through the night to a small hospital quite far from here to the emergency ward, they X-rayed it and found that it was a complicated fracture, several breaks, which would require complicated surgery. So the doctor at this tiny hospital said he was not a bone specialist but he would attempt this operation, if I wanted 2 to, the next day. He's a young man in his twenties I said, "No, thanks, it's my right arm and it's awful important to me, too much so to have this done here. I'm sure you would do a wonderful job but just the same..." So, although I'm thousands of dollars in debt, I used my American Express card. I got on the plane the following day. Monday I got to Chicago and darned if the planes didn't get their schedules all mixed up because the Northwest Airlines went on strike and it threw everything off, and so United put me up for the night in a hotel at their expense until the next morning. All this time I'm dragging this fractured arm along in a home made sling I made out of a sheet without any medication or painkiller or anything. So Tuesday they finally get me aboard a plane. It got me to Minneapolis and that was where I got the hotel room and then Tuesday morning I got the plane down to Rochester, Minnesota and at Mayo when the doctors examined me, they were mystified as to how I could have broken, frac-tured, my elbow in such a fashion. Now these are bone specialists who operate on arms and legs everyday, yet they were mystified how I could break my arm in such a fashion. I think the term is olecranon fracture, something like that. But the fracture went clear, not only snapped the big bone like a matchstick, but the break went clear up, deeply into the joint, so that they had to fix a pin in there and then wire the bones together. While in Methodist Hospital at Rochester, after the three-hour operation on my arm, I moodily began to reflect on the extraordinary series of events which had occurred since my trip to Egypt. I began to wonder if, regardless of my making friends telepathically with the powers in the pyramids, perhaps some form of curse may have been able to follow me back and work against me, which even the UFOs do their best to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx protect me with a PK bubble-a shield, if you will. All the things breaking down, both children being injured and hospital-ized within a week's time, then my mysterious injury requiring me to go to Mayo and having a three-hour operation was a bit much to be co-incidental. But that was not all! They discharged me from Methodist hospital and I took an airplane back to chicago and from there to Nor-folk with my right arm in a cast I pushed my black suitcase which has wheels built into the bottom and a handle on top. I had purchased this previously in England. I got on the escalator going down at the airport, with the black suitcase on the step above me and as I neared the bottom of the escalator steps the suitcase suddenly moved as if it were alive on those wheels and cut my legs out from under-neath me and I toppled over sideways head first into the knifelike steel steps converging down on me. Luckily for me, there had been a man about seven or eight steps above who must have dove head first, because, as I fell over sideways, he interposed his body between me and the steps. Even so, my head was struck by the steel steps and cut, and some other people coming down fell on top of us, the man and I, and when I finally got to my feet, my arm was aching, and at this point I feared that it might have become rebroken. This is August 21st well, that wasn't the end of it. I got my car (which incidentally, after the trip to Egypt, had been broken into and damaged and the stereo equipment stolen out of it at the airport) got to my car and drove to Cape Charles. When I arrived home I discovered that our television set had gone dead (the TV repairman today told me that seemingly a lightning stroke had sent a sudden surge of electricity through it breaking a fuse or something inside) then yesterday, sitting in my 3 living room with my arm hung up in a contraption given to me at Mayo Clinic, the cast elevated, I heard a loud crash out in front of my house. So I unhooked this contraption and went to the window and discovered that another car had crashed into the back of our family car which had been parked correctly at the curb. There were many other cars up and down the street. I threw on a bathrobe, went outside, and this big fat colored girl was crying hysterically. She had wrecked the entire front of her car, a large car, but unfortunately it had run into the back of our Lincoln Continental, which is built like a tank. It inflicted great damage on my trunk section, but I could still drive the Lincoln, however. I led the crying girl into our living room and seated her and tried to comfort her until the ambulance came. I asked her how she had managed to hit our parked car. She said, and I quote "I was driving along and something black came over my face." Then the police and ambulance came, took the girl away in a stretcher and so forth. So here is yet another strange happening. Now some years ago a court reporter, a colored court reporter, in Norfolk, pulled a very dirty trick on me and my family and caused us much trouble and grievance. I was extremely angered at the colored court reporter and told him off in the law offices in front of other people. Then I quit my job and a week later another court reporter, a young girl, came to my house and told me that the colored court reporter had been in a terrible car wreck. He had hit another car head on and his arms were broken, his head was all cut, he was in a terrible shape, and he had told the others in the office where he worked that as he drove along suddenly everything became black-he blanked out-for no apparent reason. So yesterday when this colored girl told me this my mind instantly went back several years to this other happening. What significance there could be I don't know. But this entire, incredible string of events happening makes me wonder if there isn't a force pursuing me. Now when I fell at home, I can recall an odd sensation of a force picking me up and-not exactly throwing me down but controlling my fall. At any rate there is the series of events that have happened since my return from Egypt and connecting up telepathically with the ancient intelligent forces inside the pyramids. At this point I am almost fearful of recontacting the entity which I had been contacting daily before all these things began happening. So at this point in time here I sit with a badly fractured right arm; my car wrecked, my pocket tape recorder is broken; my wrist watch is broken; the television is broken; both children have been injured; and I think it important enough to report all this to you so that you can follow what is happening to PK man. Nothing like this, a series of events, has ever occurred in my entire life. P.S. This is being added on to this report later, after I telepathed to the SI and to the Egyptian power and asked them for an explanation of why these troubling things have happened to me. The next day they had given me the explanation mentally. And this is the SI explanation. In nature there is duality-hot and cold, night and day, sweet and sour, and so forth.
