OUTER SPACE ENTHUSIASTS:
Staunch Few Hold to Planetary'Saucer' Theories

By JONATHAN CROWLEY
Daily Space Editor
Scientists and Air Force officials
have had their hands full this
Week finding satisfactory explana-
tions for the nation's latest fad-
"flying saucers."
But their theories, which include
atmospheric disturbances, optical
illusions and a wide variety of bal-
loons, have probably left the die-
hard outer space enthusiasts un-
convinced.
THE STAUNCH FEW believe
that the flying "saucers" exist,
that they are guided by intelligent
beings and that they come either
from other planets in our Solar
System or from the vast reaches
of outer space.
They can even suggest meth-
ods by which our visitors might
have covered the trillions of
miles from other solar systems
to our own. These include prac-
tically everything from old-fash-
ioned theories of atomic energy
to faster-than-light travel over
magnetic lines of force.
Those who believe in the "sauc-
ers" do so, they say, because of
the numerous sightings which
have been ,reported since 1947
which they feel have not been sat-
isfactorily explained.
** *
DESCRIPTIONS of these
"Whatzits" have included green
fireballs, round orange blobs, in-
tricate formations of tiny white
lights and even long cigar-like af-
fairs with windows and "eerie"
internal lighting.
This does not include flying
washtubs, bananas and other
knick-knacks.
Observers have clocked them at
speeds ranging from 130 miles per
hour to 18,000 m.p.h. and have
estimated diameters ranging from
25 feet to 1000 feet.
* * *
SOME spectators have toyed
with the idea that these devices
are products of secret research
here or in Russia, but these theor-
ies appear to have been largely
discarded in favor of the more
spectacular idea of people from
other worlds.
They give weight to their ar-
gument by pointing to the unbe-
lievable speeds and maneuvers
they say the "saucers" accom.
plish.
Human beings could not sur-
vive such a juggling around, it is
pointed out.
So far, however, no one has been
willing to hazard a guess as to
the physical appearance of "sau-
cer" crews. Aside from the specu-
lation that they were 36 to 42
inches in height which appeared
in a recent book, the initiated ap-
pear to be waiting until one of
these gadgets lands before mak-
ing any more predictions.
Hass Predicts
Bad National
Crisis Soon
(Continued from Page 1)
"Any other view is a cynical
one," he added.
THE "PROGRAM" calls for
collective ownership of land and
all instruments of production,
with the management of industry
completely in the hands of the
workers.
Hass and his co-workers are
aware that should their predict-
ed crisis arise, the workers might
not follow the SLP, but turn,
perhaps to some idealogy such
as fascism. That is the reason
for all the party's work, Hass

explained. "If there were no
danger of fascism taking over,
I would go fishing and not wor-
ry about it," he said.
"We do not expect to get big
until the crisis develops to such
an extent that people are aware of
it, but we feel confident that the
masses are going to be wakened
up," he prophecized.
"Our plans are to effectively use
our resources to get information to
the people. He will pass out 4,000,-
000 copies of the national platform
and millions of copies of pamph-
lets," he added.
Already the SLP has presented
three network television shows
and three network radio programs.
In addition, 80 individual pro-
grams have been broadcast or tele-
vised over local radio and televi-
sion stations.
THE PARTY has set a campaign
fund goal of $200,000 but Hass
feels they will be fortunate if they
collect half that amount.
However, he pointed out that
the SLP programs were well pre-
sented in contrast with the
Democratic a n d Republican
Conventions which he thought

SPECTATORS-Flying lampshades circle Burton Tower in the photographer's conception of flying
"saucers." The picture was made by pasting pictures of lampshades on a picture of the Tower and
then photographing the result.

Locally, the biggest contest
will be for the GOP nomination
as prosecuting attorney. Four
men, William F. Ager, Jr., Ed-
inond DeVine, John W. Rae, and
Leonard H. Young are cam-
paigning for the office.
In the second district legisla-
tive vote, Rep. George Meader of
Ann Arbor is opposed by Arthur
P. Lopshire of Clinton and Nor-
man B. Sulier of Erie in the GOP
primary. Prof. John P. Dawson of
the la wschool is running unoppos-
ed on the Democratic ticket.

THE REPUBLICAN race for
lieutenant governor is between
four men: Harry Henderson, for-
mer liquor commissioner; state
senator Clarence A. Reid; George
Welsh, former lieutenant gover-
nor; and former state representa-
tive David E. Young. The Demo-
crats have sent former lieutenant
governor John W. Connolly out
unopposed again.
The GOP gubernatorial nom-
ination is being contested by
Fred M. Alger, Jr., the present
secretary of state; Donald S.
Leonard, former state police
commissioner; and present lieu-
tenant governor, William C.
Vandenberg.
Incumbent Gov. G. Mennen Wil-
liams is running unopposed for
governor on the Democratic ballot.
The Republican race for United
States Senator is a fervid cam-
paign between four aspirants; Eu-
gene C. Keyes, former lieutenant
governor; present Auditor Gener-
al John B. Martin; Charles Pot-
ter, Congressman from the 11th
district; and Clifford Provorst, ex-
ecutive secretary to the mayor of
Detroit. Only Potter and Martin
are entered in the short term con-
test.
Local level contests involve the
battle between Louis C. Andrews,
Jr., and Aaron Priebe for the
prosecutin gattorney post on the
Democratic ticket. On the GOP
side, John L. Osborn and Robert
W. Winnick are vying for the
sheriff position.
Of the two less controversial city
charter amendments, the first
proposes that th esalary of the
municipal judge be increased from
$6,000 to $8,000. The second would
allow the City Clerk 48 hours, in-
stead of 24, to present minutes of
City Council proceedings to the
Mayor.

By BARNES CONNABLE
Special To The Daily
AMSTERDAM - The Burge-.
meest of Amsterdam turned fifty
the day we arrived here, but he
doesn't look it.
Mayor D'Ally, who governs the
nearly one million inhabitants of
this booming city, is an energetic
gentleman who bears the unquali-
fied label of "ambassador of good
will."
THE STOCKY, .ruddy - faced
Dutchman would be a huge suc-
cess in American politics.
He chats with you in his flu-
ent, politic English as if he
didn't have another thing on the
calendar. There is no feeling of
having a swift glimpse of a busy
executive.
Burgemeester D'Ally is a Labor
party man, although since his ap-
pointment by Queen Wilhelmina,
he has been technically non-par-
tisan. During the war, he was an
important underground leader. .
* * *
THE MAYOR'S face is known
throughout Amsterdam and he en-

joys the kinds of popularity and
respect usually reserved for roy-
alty.
While Dutch right-wingers hit
the Labor government for cur-
tailing economic free enterprise,
Amsterdam has seen a large
business growth since the war,
some of it American, under the
encouragement of the Mayor
and his able, amiable indus-
trial expert Dr. Van Soest.
We spent part of an evening
with the Mayor and had a chance
to measure his esteem in the eyes
of Amsterdam's populace. As he
drove us to Amsterdam Univer-
sity's student festival, people, rec-
ognizing the familiar smile through
the car windows, stopped abrupt-
ly and saluted.
At the festival, he introduced
us to student leaders, whom he
knew on a first-name basis, and
dragged us around to the various
booths at Amsterdam's tame ver-
sion of Michigras. As we shoved
through the crowds, the man on
the street walked up to him and
shook his hand as if it was the
greatest moment of a lifetime.
