Flying Saucers Are Good NewsThe flying saucers are real; they are made not in Russia or in Mars but in the United States; and when U.S. Air Force sees fit to release information on them it will be good news. So declares Henry J. Taylor, well known journalist and radio commentator, in the August Reader’s Digest. The article is condensed from a broadcast.The saucers vary in size, Tay. lor says, from small white disks 20 inches wide to big ones 250 feet across- Nearly all are round; some are flat and edged up* like saucers, others are not They emit no stream of light or amoke, have no indication of a propelling mechanise, and no sound- They can stand stationary in the air, then dash off to right or left with increasing speed- Their function is an important imilitarv secret.Nine- out of leu reports of fixing saucers are due to imagination or confusion, Taylor states. But several have been .substantiated Nine flying disks, sighted over the Pacific ('oast of America by United Airlines Captain E. E- Smith, were real- Five seen over the Cas-, cade Mountains of Oregon were real- So were « hundred-foot saucer observed over New Mexico in April, 1940, and a 250-footer sighter over Madisonville Kcn lucky, on January 7. 1948.The saucer development is a big and expanding experimental ’project which has been progressing in the ^United States for three years, Taylolr says. It has gone through three stages, reaching peaks in public observation in July 1947. January 194N and A*»rl 1950 The saucers have grown bigger with each phase-A “flaming, cigar-shuped object about a hundred feel long, ' i (-ported over Montgomery, Alabama. by two reliable Airlines pilols, was real loo, the author stales. But it was not cigar-shaped, nor was it a “flying ’saucer ’ It was a U S. Navy ex. pcrimental fighter “a great jet airplane of ’-incredible speed. Though nearly round, its extremely fast flight (another military secret) made it appear e-longated and cigar-shaped to the human eye.Chances of finding a flying saucer are slight, because most are made of material which disintegrates in the air* If you found one however, you would read the following message sten c»Ied on it;Military secret of the United States of America (and a number).

(Senator G- Mc-Leay) urging that permission should be granted to overseas ships to load cargoes from Eastern States ports to Western AustraliaThe cargoes in this case, par-tieularly galvanised iron, steel, piping and general hardware Mr. Leslie points out that Section 122A of the Navigation Act makes provision for the issue of permits for the carriage of in* In state cargoes by overseas ves scls when no Australian registered vessel is available.An assurance has been given l\ the Minister to Mr. Leslie that in any case where cargo is available and Australian registered vessels are not readily available, his Department will give immediate and sympathetic consideration to requests for dbpensations from the provisoes of the Navigation Act.Senator McLeay points out however, that owners of overseas vessels would take into con sideration the extent of the delay to which their vessels might be subject to at Fremantle before they would be willing for their vessels to carry intetrstate cargo- The Priority Committee which operates at Fremantle gives first priority to the mail ships which arrive and sail onYOURPRINTINGthe same day. Priority is also given as far as Labour is concerned to ships calling at tidal ports in North-West Australia so that as far as other overseas ships and interstate ships are concerned, the allocation ot berths and laibour is a matter ol first come, first served In consequence of this, there is a strong possibility that ap overseas vessel might well be delayed to a disproportionate extent while waiting to discharge ortly a small qantUy of interstate cargoThe suggestion is made by the Minister, that the representative Parties in Western Australia might discuss with the representatives of the overseas shipping companies In Fremantle the possibility of more vessels being made available for the carriage of cargoes from the Eastern States.Mr. Leslie stated that he is advised that in so far as the shipment of sleel products is concerned the position as present is that at Newcastle a total of 5,178 tons awaiting shipment to Fremantle, the vessels “Ad* visvale’ ’and River Fitzroy” will load approximately 5,000 tons. In regard to Port Kembla there are at present 2,021 tons awaiting shipmnet for which no vessel is at present allotted, but the Combined Traffic Committee hits under consideration the
