Travis Walton is reported to have disappeared last Wednesday night. A Department of Public Safety polygraph operator expects to complete tests today on six woodcutters who have said they witnessed the UFO encounter. One of those woodcutters said he was told unofficially that he and another man passed the tests.

The said Walton leaped from their moving truck when they spotted the craft and ran toward it. "It kind of lifted him up off the ground," said Kenneth Peterson, 25, of Snowflake.

"His arms were outstretched and he was knocked to the ground." The six said they were frightened and sped away in their truck, but (I hearing is 'mail-order -m, 'ik1tPPM try returned 15 minutes later to find Walton and the craft gone. Sheriff Gillespie, who describes himself as a UFO skeptic, conceded that there is a possibility the story is true. "We have not been able to find anything to discount their story," he said.

By voting to hold the hearing, the city took the only step available towards negotiations with any company. While singling out ACT for a superior proposal, Pilnick cautioned that the city should require additional information from the company regarding its financing situation and a definite contingency plan in the event that the company starts installation and is unable to complete it. "I don't think you can eliminate all the (economic) uncertainties, but you can reduce them," said Pilnick.

SCHWARTZ Provisions of a bill in the U.S. Senate would give the government ownership of all public information and make it a felony to disclose or publish classified data, the associate director of the national office of the American Civil Liberties Union said Monday in Phoe-nix. "Such a provision," said Jay A.

Miller of Washington, "with its severe penalties, would permit the government to engage in unprecedented suppression of information." Miller, speaking at the Phoenix Press Club, said it is only one of several provisions included in Senate Bill 1, the recodification of the federal criminal statutes, that pose a danger to the. individual freedoms of the U.S. citizen. Buried within its 753 pages are at least 30 provisions which make it the most repressive and regressive piece of legislation ever to be considered by a congressional body," Miller said. He said that although 80 per cent of the bill provides for needed and desired reform and revision of the federal criminal code, "it does so in a way that would vastly enhance the power of government and sharply decrease the freedom of the American people." Miller said sections of Senate 1 dealing with national defense information would make government employes and the media vulnerable to prosecution "that would be limited only by the imagination of the prosecutor." There are 15,000 government employes authorized to "classify" documents.

Miller said, that would result in only the "official version of events available to the public and the government being able to operate behind a screen of secrecy." Other provisions that Miller described as chipping away at American freedoms included: "Protect federal officials from criminal prosecution for illegal acts as long as they believed the conduct was required or authorized by law. This clause, dubbed the Watergate defense, would provide a rationale for almost any kind of abuse of authority. "Authorize domestic wiretapping for 48 hours without a court order and extend its use to many additional crimes. "Impose restrictions on demonstrations by making picketing of gover-ment buildings illegal. "Permit entrapment by government agents and place the burden on a defendant to prove he was not predisposed to commit the crime." Miller said he knew of no U.S.

senator who had read the bill now before the Senate Justice Committee. He said he did not believe the bill was "politically amendable" because its key sponsors, Sen. John V. McClellan, and Sen. Roman Hruska, "want to make this their monument to their long years of service in Congress" and other senators are reluctant to disturb it.

Miller said at least 60 organizations nationwide are opposed to Senate Bill 1 in its present form and that parts of it are patently unconstitutional. He said that under the bill's provisions such incidents as the My Lai massacre, the Pentagon Papers disclosure and Watergate would never have been known by the American public. "It appears that the only thing that will stop this bill from becoming law," Miller said, "is a massive display of public opinion against it." Granite Reef Road because its taillights were out. Vassall said as he approached the car he saw two men inside fumbling with 'something by the door and then the car pulled away. Vassall pursued and other Scottsdale units entered the chase.

Vassall lost the car at Agency Road and Indian School, but other officers picked up the car heading south on Alma School Road, Ihen east on McDowell to Country Club Drive into Mesa, officers said. Morris said deputies and Mesa officers began the chase at McKellips and Country Club. He said the car sped through Mesa and onto U. S. 87 into Chandler, where Chandler officers entered the pursuit.

"His vehicle started developing mechanical difficulties and blowing oil from under the hood," Morris said. "It finally stopped in the 300 block of N. Arizona in front of Chandler High School." Morris said the deputies ordered the subjects out of the car, but they refused to come out. He said Sawyer and Deputies Rick Athey and Larry Black were in the process of taking Breese from the car when Sawyer's revolver discharged, the bullet hitting Breese in the face. Morris said Sawyer, who has been a deputy since September 1972, was temporarily relieved of duty until an investi-1 A search on foot, horseback and The price hikes for the name brands reflect increases by their manufacturers, Rainbo Baking Baird's Bread and Holsum Bakery Inc.

The increases boost the price of a standard 24 ounce name brand loaf from 66 to 69 cents. By contrast, a similar house-brand loaf costs about 39 to 48 cents. Spokesmen for market chains said the name brands account for 25 to 50 per cent of their sales. Spokesmen for the grocery chains said labor and distribution costs are responsible for the marked difference in price between name and house brands. Bayless president Roger Hagel said the name-brand companies deliver the bread, mark the prices on it, fix displays, and take back leftovers.

The markets use their own help for those operations with the house brands and pass the savings on to consumers, he said. Hagel said Bayless is now charging 39 cents for a standard 24-ounce loaf and has no plans to raise the price. Prices of the name brands are aoout 30 cents higher, he said. Gordon Core, grocery merchandising manager for Safeway Stores said "we have no intention of raising the private label," which is selling for 47 cents. Charles grocery buyer for Lucky Stores said the chain is holding its house brand to 48 cents a loaf, while the name brands have been increased 2 or 3 cents to 67 to 69 cents) a loaf.

Marvin Ford, regional vice president of El Rancho Markets, said the chain is holding its price for the standard house brand at 45 cents. Clark Rorbach of Baird's Bread Co. said it increased the price on its loaves a week ago by about a cent a pound. When asked why the three companies were raising their prices at approximately the same time, in light of their recent price-fixing convictions, Rorbach said no collusion was involved. "We put out notification to our customers listing new prices," he said.

"They're not secret. Very soon everyone knows about it. It's up tn the other companies to do what they want." Spokesmen for Holsum and Rainbow were unavailable. The three companies were among five firms fined $125,000 in May on price-fixing charges. with Holiday to halt some services Today is Veterans Day, a state holiday.

Convict says cook admitted killing 2 boys By BRENT WHITING A federal prisoner testified Monday in Superior Court that a former Tempe cook conlessed to him in a Florida jail that he shot and killed two 12-year-old Scottsdale boys. The prisoner also testified that the cook confessed also to the slaying of two young boys in Illinois, a boy in New Mexico and a young girl in Florida.

The prisoner. Richard Bazzel, made the allegations against John Richard Hatton, 30, who is on trial before Judge Charles L. Hardy on two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Jeffrey Schlosser and Kelly Kardell. The boys' bodies were found nude in a swimming pool bathhouse of the Canlen House Apartments, 3730 S. Mill, Tempe, on Nov.

7, 1974. Each had been shot once in the back of the head. Bazzel, 23, testified that Hatton confessed to him last Dec. 29 that he shot two boys in the back of the head in a Tempe apartment complex and "blew their brains out." Bazzel said Hatton admitted to him that he was guilty of the slayings but that he felt he could not be convicted of them because of insanity and an alibi. Eazzcl implied in his testimony that the boys may have been sexually molested.

He said he was told by Hatton that he picked up the boys because they seemed "sexy" to him and that he told them they would not be hurt if they kept quiet. Bazzel said Hatton told him he molested a little girl in Florida then killed her and buried her in a shallow grave, that he shot two Illinois boys in the back of the head and buried them and that he killed a boy in New Mexico. Bazzel said Hatton told him that the age of these other victims was between 9 and 14. A spokesman for the county attorney's office said Monday that Hatton has been under investigation by other police agencies in connection with these other allegations, but that no charges have been filed against him in any other state. According to Bazzel, Hatton made his confession to him while they shared a cell in Broward County jail in Ft.

Lauderdale. Bazzel said he reported the confession to jailers the next day. Hatton, a former Chicago resident and a resident of the Canlen House Apartments at the time of the slaying of Schlosser and Kardell, was arrested in Coconut Creek, Dec. 28, 1974, and booked in Broward County jail. Testimony will resume at 10:30 a.m.

Only three companies, all based in Arizona, responded with proposals last December.

They are American Cable Television Inc. (ACT), Phoenix Telecast Services and Valley Cable Co. Inc. On Monday, the council heard from Carl Pilnick of Telecommunications Management Corp. of Los Angeles.

His consulting firm submitted a 62-page evaluation of the three cable applications. Pilnick said, his study had shown the ACT proposal to be "superior in all categories" to the other two proposals. His report recommended that the city enter negotiations with ACT with a view toward granting a license. fun. How do I know the coyotes won't eat ME? over to police," Detective Bob Burden said.

Sims' attorney, Brice Buehler, had argued in a petition that his client is not a public officer and therefore is not prohibited from claiming property for which no legal owner can be found. In a motion filed for the police, Assistant City Attorney Michael D. House contended that Sims is required to disclaim the property because he found it while fulfilling his duties for the public defender's office. Beuhler, Sims and House could not be reached for comment on McFale's decision. Earlier, however, House told The Arizona Republic that a ruling in Sims' favor could discourage public employes from divulging information that would help police find the legal owners of lost properly.

1 a Return brooch to investigator who found it, judge tells police A Scottsdale man was accidentally shot to death early Monday by a sheriff's deputy after a high-speed chase that started in Scottsdale and ended in Chandler, deputies said. Dewey Breese, 19, who was living with relatives at 8601 E. Starlight Way, Scottsdale, was dead on arrival at Chandler Hospital. He was shot once in the face. He had come to Scottsdale recently from Lyons, Kan.

Sheriff's Lt. Ozzie Morris said Breese was shot by Deputy Bruce Sawyer as Sawyer and two other deputies were taking him from his car after the pursuit. Morris said a loaded revolver was found on the console of the convertible and a syringe, vial with white substance and two bullets were found on Breese. The white substance was sent to the Department of Public Safety laboratory for analysis. The results will be ready today, officers said.

A passenger in the car, Donald Peterson, -18, of Yarnell, was questioned by Chandler detectives and released. Morris said that during the chase, which reached speeds of 100 miles per hour, Breese ran several stoplights in the Mesa and Chandler The chase began when Scottsdale Patrolman Barry Vassall stopped the 1967 Chevrolet Camaro at 6000 N. A diamond and platinum brooch that police wanted to sell at auction must be returned to its finder, a Superior Court judge ruled Monday. Judge Yale McFate ordered that the brooch be returned to Donald Sims, an investigator for the public defender's office who discovered the jewelry in the van of a defender's client four years ago. The brooch was recovered in 1971 from an impounded van belonging to a man charged with possession of marijuana and public drunkenness.

Police said the van's owner had asked the public defender to send someone to get $200 he'd put under the dashboard. There, along with the money, Sims found the brooch, valued in two appraisals at $3,800 and $4,500. The suspect disclaimed any knowledge of the jewelry and it was turned gallon is completed..
