He declared he believed the saucers were moving shadows between the nun and earth that travel so fast that they deceive the eye because of their "electric vibration." The proponent of the T-bonc steak theory, Ted Moron suggested an alternative explanation. "Maybe It's those ENIACS--you know, those thinking machines invested at Harvard and Princeton--that are doing some thinking and Inventing on their own. "If the machines can almost think it's reasonable to believe they could think of something like flying saucers that not even our scientists can match." 13 Nations Accept Bids to Marshall terday: Republicans for: Chadwlck, Corbett, Crow, Daguc, Fcnton, Pulton, Gallagher, Gavin, Gillette, Graham, Gross, Jenkins, Kcarns, Kunkcl.
