CHIC/.CO.—~—'Che nomination of Governor Adai E.
S roen ag Demeoceratic candidate for President
20 hig automatie withdrawal from the guberna
torial race in Illinois has set the stage for a wide
open batitle among party leaders here in the choice
of his successor.
It wag reporied here that Governor Stevenson
would resign from the governorship soon. This
would, it was believed, enhance the chances of
Lieutenant Governor Sherwood Dixon to succeed
him as the Demecratic candidate for governor.
Altheugh Governor Stevenson has not made nub
lic his ghoiee of a successor, he has recently been
reported as favoring the 856-year-old lieutenant
governor who has been an ardent supporter of Gov=
ernor Stevemson’s programs in the last four years.
Thus Governor Btevenson would be assured, if Mr,
Dixon were mominated and elected to the gover=
norehip, that these programs would be continued in
Illineois.
The governor's bid sor higher office has forced
the stete Republicans to revise their strategy in the
fortheoming gubernatorial campaign. It had been
planned that the Republican candidate for governor,
State Treasurer William G. Stratton, would lead a
frontal attack opn Governor Stevenson’s record dur
ing four years as governor. Until his successor is
chosen by the Democrats, the state Republican or
ganization will bave to mark time in planning
strategy.
While the Republicans are maintaining this “wait
and see” position, the state Democratic organiza
tion, en yelatively short notice, will haye to choose
from & number of aspirants a mran to take up the
fizht abandonec by Governor Stevenson,
It was predicted by Democratic state leaders here
that Mr. Stevenson, from his authoritative position
#s the party’s national standard-bearer, would de
mand that My. Dixon be named to oppose Mr. Strat
ton in November.
However, party leaders said this move would be
opposed strongly by State Secretary Edward J.
Barrett who, next to the governor himself, controls
the greatest part of the state’s patronage. Mr. Bar
vett is & b2-year-old veteran of World War I.
Mr. Stevenson’s disavowal of presidential ambi
tion, dating from the €urly part of the year when
his name wag first mentioned to his acceptance,
prade it impossible for the state Democratic or
ganization 1o select and groom his successor.
Vhile Illinois Democratic leaders chafed and
awaited the word from Governor Stevenson as to
his intentiens, Kepublican forces had to proceed on
the assumption that their opponent would be Mr.
Sievenson. They had planned to attack his admin
istration, waste in Springfield, and Mr. Stevenson’s
protracted abgences from the state capital on speak
inz engagements,
Much of thig line of attack, Republican leaders
have admitied, will have to be scrapped.
On the Democratic side confidence in Mr. Steven
son’s re-election had marked the early phases of the
campaign. Vir. Stevenson was unopposed for the
gubernatorial mnomination and it had been agreed
that, barring a Republican nation-wide landslide in
November, he would have beaten Mr. Stratton
handily.
A vigorous eaprpaigner, the 38-year-old Repub
lican nominee for the governorship now looms in
the opinion of state Democrats as a formidable foe
for a last-minute stand-in Democratic opponent.
Mr. Barrett is said to have a majority of the
Democratic state committee behind him. It is the
committee that will fill any vacancies on the state
icket. Mr. Barrett polled more votes in the Demo
cratic primary election last April than did Mr,
Stevenson. He has told firends that Mr. Stevenson
has no right to name his suceessor.
Now that the iid is off, it has been predicted that
Jacob M. Arvey, Democratic national committee
man, will gland by Mr. Stevenson in the state party
fight te name the governor’s successor on the
Democratic ticket,
Killing For Publicity
It seems like & waste of time and effort to mor
alize on the case of the Boston man who shot to
death & young woman clerk at Columbia University
he had never seen before because he “just wanted
to kill someone.”
The man, previously designated a crackpot by
authorities, earefully armed himself and went out
to murder. He had a fancied wrong against the edu
cational institution because it had refused to pay
attention te & thesis he had written on “How to
Live Forever.” Hisg victim was the first person he
met when he entered the building.
Frustration may have entered into his actions,
but what he was seeking was publicity. He wanted
his picture on the front pages of the newspapers.
And he was pictured there, smirking as though he
wasg proud of his achievement, He declared in his
confession that he first intended to kill a newspaper
@ditor,
The world has many similar characters, Most of
them are harmless, but manyare obsessed by a
desire to kill. Umfortunately, nothing can be done
about them until they actually commit a crime. The
desired publicity is attained, then they take the last
13 steps and are forgotten by & society which has
paid another installment on its failure to care for
_the mentally ill,

New York Industries” Action
On Alcoholism Is Postive Step
Americans as a nation are a pretty hard-drinking
crew, and as such inevitably carry things too far
sometimes.
In fact, the problem of alcoholism, when recog
nized for the extensive national ill that it is, be
comes disturbingly serious. There are few of us
who, right in our own lives, have not been touched
at some time by the effects of too much drinking,
It can be a brother-in-law, a father, a cousin, a
good friend. It can even be a sister or a mother.
Tippling unfortunately isn't confined to men. |
Happily, the extent and nature of the problem
have been recognized by our top medical men and
by the government. It's pretty well understood
now that alcoholisnr is a disease with mysterious
and hidden roots, and it is being attacked as such.
One of the leaders in research on the subject is
the Yale University Center of Alcohol Studies.
Numerous other schools have similar programs.
On the non-scientific side is Acoloholics Anony
mous. In that nation-wide organization former
alcoholics have done wonderful working in helping
others to get back on the right track. |
Drugs have been developed such as antabuse,
which makes a person sick if he drinks alcohol. |
For soine years business and industry have been
aware that alcoholism is one of the greatest de
stroyers of personal efficiency. |
It has been estimated that alcoholism among
employes costs the nation’s industry $1 million p‘
year. That includes absenteeismr, accidents, errors,
inefficiency and poor public relations. !
In New York City eertain industries have gotten
together to see what can be done about the matter.f
First they attended a conference sponsored by the}
new Consultation Clinic for Alcoholism at New |
York University-Bellevue Medical Center, |
There, the industrial representatives heard ex-1
planations from experts of the whole problcml
facing industry. Then they were invited to send to
the clinic for treatment those of their employul
who needed it. ]
The idea is that foremen be charged with the
responsibility of reporting to their company’s
medical officials the names of those workers in
need of help. After a preliminary screening, the
medical officials would be empowered to send the
men to the new Consultation Clinic for extended
treatment.
The clinic treatment might consist of individual
sessions with a psychiatrist, meetings with other
groups of alcoholics, use of remedial drugs, or per=-
haps joining Alcoholics ‘Anonymous.
Its proponents realize that the program, as in
itially applied within industries, is going to be in
for some criticism and considerable joke-making.
But if the results are significantly good in re
claiming the careers and even the lives of chronic
drinkers, they believe the obstacles to the program
can be overcome.
The action by the New York indwstries is a posi
tive, intelligent approach to a serious problem. And
best of all, success in their program can mean its
extension to other parts of the country.
.
Barbarous Communism
Intelligence Digest, a British publication which
specializes in information from agents behind the
iron curtain, prints this dispatch from Hungary:
“One of the most tragic aspects of last year’s
mass deportations has now become known. Chil
dren were not allowed to accompany their parents.
They were put under state guardianship. Some of
them are being sent to Russia, where all trace of
them is lost; some are being put into state educa
tional institutions. There they receive a wholly
communist education. Religion and conventional
morality are banned and ridiculed. Any show of
religion leads to severe punishment.
“The names of the younger children are changed.
Any documentary evidence of identity is destroyed.
“This policy of creating party children, without
homes tradition or religion, is now to be extended.
Under a recent decree 160,000 farmers with their
wives are to be drafted into industry—mostly out
side }‘{ungary. These deported persons will not be
allowed to take their children with them. The state
will assume responsibility for them.
“Now that this has become known, parents are
desperate. Many children are being tattooed in the
hope that they can thus be reidentified when the
communist regime collapses.”
This is as cruel a practice as the human race
has ever witnessed. The only hopeful phase is that
such callousness to human decency will win the
hatred of the victims it degrades.
On The Move
Americans are moving around more than they
formerly did. According to the Census Bureau, 31,-
000,000 persons moved to a different abode in the
12 months ended April 1, 1951. This was an in
crease of 4,000,000 over the preceding year. Why it
took the Census Bureau more than a year to total
these figures is not explained. But that is the way
most governnrent bureaus operate.
What has brought about this incredible locomo
tion, this packing of endless china and linens, this
careful wrapping up of pictures,’ this boxing of
books, this reluctant discarding of articles which
may be sought in a week? Then doing the whole
job over again in reverse.
Perhaps it is because American like to keep
moving., A huge segment of the population is rest
less and nervous, according to the doctors. An Am
erican is always ready to pack up and go some
where at no notice at all. The dictum of Ben Frank
lin that two removes are as good as a fire has been
forgotten.
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
“AA Radar Man Tracked New Siege
Of “Flying Saucers” Over Capitol
By HARRY G. BARNES
Written for NEA Service
WASHINGTON — (NEA) —
Shortly after midnight on July 19,
Ed Nugent called me oyer to the
radar scope and laughingly said:
“Here’s a fleet of flying saucers
for you.”
As it turns out now, Ed could
very well have been stating an
absolute fact.
I am a senior air route traffic
controller for the Civil Aeronau
‘tics Administration and was in
charge of the air route traffic con
trol center that particular night at
National Airport. Briefly, part of
our job is to constantly monitor
the skies around the nation's capi
tal with the electronic eye of ra
dar f9r for purposes of controll
ing air traffic.
Our shift had been on duty
about 40 minutes. Eight men were
on this particular shift. It was a
normal night for both flying and
weather, The sky was cloudless,
no storms were approaching. Air
traffic was light, as usual for that
period. I think those facts are im
portant in connection with what
came later.
The “things” which caused Ed
to call me over to the scope were
seven pips clustered together ir
regularly in one corner. The sc
is 24 inches in diameter and ?fl:
pips show up as pale violet spots.
Ordinarily they represent aircraft
in the air. The radar we were us
ing scans a 70-mile radius.
The seven pips indicated that
the objects, or whatever they
were, were in the air over an
area about nine miles in diame-~
ter, 15 miles south-southwest of
Washington. We knew immediate
ly that a very strange situation
existed. First, from all the infor
mation we had at hand, we knew
that the spots were not aircraft—
at least not friendly aircraft.
That left three possibilities, en
emy uircraft, some unexplained
flying objects or something wrong
with the radar. We tracked the
seven pips for about five minutes
and quickly determined that they
were moving between 100 and 130
miles per hour while we could ob
serve them.
But their movements were com
pletely radical comparad to those
of ordinary aircraft. They f£ol
lowed no set course, were not in
any formation, and we only
seemed to be able to track them
for about three miles at a time.
The individual pip would seem
to disappear from the scope at in
tervals. Later I realized that if
these objects had made any sud
den burst of extremely high speed,
that would account for them dis
appearing from the scope tem
porarily. Our radar is only de
signed to track known types of
aircraft or objects in the air at
speeds known to all of us.
After five minutes of watching
the strange pips, I asked Jim
Copeland and Jim Ritchey, two
experienced radar controllers, to
check our observations. They con
firmed our findings. Then I called
the airport control tower to see
what the radar showed there. The ‘
radar operator verified the same
thing instantly. I
At this time I notified the Air
Force of our observation, This isl
a regular procedure but some‘
parts of it are secret and I am not |
at liberty to explain it in detail. |
But we kept the Air Force in
formed of subsequent observa
tions which continued for approx
imately the next six heurs, until
after daylight when we could no
longer distinguish the objects from
other aircraft.
Early Sunday morning is an es
pecially busy time for both pri
vate flying and military reserve
flying.
Before notifying the Air Force
of our findings, our technicians
had carefully checked the equip
ment to make certain that it was
operating perfectly.
These are the important events 1
of the next six hours: |
During the first hour the ob
jects had moved over all sectorsl
of our scope. That meant that they
had been over the restricted areas l
'of Washington, including the |
White House and Capitol. |
At the first opportunity Ritchey

contacted Capital Airline pilot
’Cnptain S. C. Pierman, a veteran
of 17 years of flying, Shortly after
taking off, Ritchey asked Pierman
to look for the objects we were
watching on the scope. He agreed
to do this.
All of a sudden his voice came
cver the radio, which we could
' all hear, with the words:
| “There’s one, and there it goes.”
| He described it as just a bright
light, moving faster than a shoot
ing star at times.
His subsequent descriptions of
the movements of the objects co
incided with the position of our
pips at all times while in our
range. .
During the next 14 minutes he
reported that he saw six such
lights. He said they had no tail,
no recognizable shape and were
just bright lights in the dark sky.
Each sighting coincided with a
pip we could see near his plane.
When he reported that the light
streaked off at high speed, it dis
appeared on our scope, for the
apparent reason I cited.
While he was giving us reports
of his sightings, he was on a
course from Herndon, Va., to
Martinsburg, W, Va.
Some of the other pilots we
contacted reported that they were
unable to see the objects. I had
the distinct feeling that some of
them were just unwilling to dis
cuss the subjeet over the radio.
However, one other commercial
pilot did flatly confirm seeing a
light off his left wing which we
saw as a pip on the scope. He was
coming in for his landing and the
tower scope reported the same
radar sighting. The light disap
peared on our scope and from his
view about four miles before he
touched his wheels down.
During the whole period of ob
servation we could detect no pat
tern to the movement of these ob
jects. However, they did seem to
become most active around the‘
planes we saw on the scope. We
did not see the pips in any recog
nizable formation at any time.
The radar we were using does
not show altitude and it is faint
ly possible that the objects could
have been in a vertical forma
tion without our recognizing it.
At one time toward daybreak
we counted 10 objects over An
drews Field, just outside of Wash
ington. We sighted seven origi
nally. Most of the time we could
count eight of them.
The only recognizable behavior
pattern which occurred to me from
watching the pips was that they
acted like a bunch of small kids
out playing. It was helter skelter,
as if directed by some innate curi
osity. At times they moved as a
group or cluster. Other times as
individuals over widely scattered
areas.

equipment wus in' perfeet oper
ating order during that period.
There is no other conclusion I
can reach but that for six hours
on the moring of the 20th of July
there were at least 10 unidentifia
ble objects moving above Wash
ington. They were not ordinary
aircraft. I could tell that by their
movement on the scope.
I can safely deduce that they
performed gyrations which no
known aircraft could perform. By
this I mean that our scope showed
that they could make right angle
turns and complete reversals of
flight.
Nor in my opinion could any
natural phenomena such as shoot
ing stars, electrical disturbances
or clouds, account for these spots
® Recognition of benefits has been
gradual. Although established in the
United States as early as 1831, it was
not until modern merchandising was
adopted in the nineteen thirties that the
public became aware of the multiple
benefits offered by these specialized sav
ings associations. Today with anaverage
of $15,000,000 every working day mov--
ing into their savings accounts, this type
of savings institution is the fastest grow
ing in the nation. They currently safe
guard 20 Billion dollars . . . while
serving some 14 million families.
‘ ® 6000 Associations are in opeiation
- today. Their procedure for receiving
funds from savers and investors is simi
lar to that in other financial institutions. '
The funds flow back into the community
chiefly through their lending funds on
first mortgage loans on homes and small
apartments in the immediate. area. For
hquidity purposes and to supplement
investments when demand flc))r home
loans is low, associations also invest in
government bonds.
Intercst in savers has been demon
strated over the years. Savings and Loan.
Associations have consistently paid sav
ers higher earnings than available else
where, under similar conditions of high
degree safety and availability of funds.'
These are the financial institutions that
have continuously offered incentive to
savers whether their accounts are $lO
or SIO,OOO.
® Federal Home Loan Bank system
created by Congress in 1932 and in
which most associations maintain mem-.
bership, (91% of all association re
sources so affiliated) is to the Savings '

for purposes of maintaining operation

You and your business benefit greatly
by the existence of strong and active
