Air Force Consultant 'Saucer' Pictures Appear Authentic To Top Authority Good Morning The News LISTENING DEVICE concealed at a man's beltline, a microphone on his T-Shirt, loomed in the background at the Bobby Baker trial Monday. U.S. District Judge Oilver Gasch took under study a motion to dismiss the charges against Baker because of eavesdropping in the case, and trial continued. Baker, 38, one-time secretary to the Senate Democrats, is charged with income tax evasion in 1961-62, conspiracy and other offenses involving financial dealings.

BAKER DETROIT (AP) An Air Force consultant and landing authority on so-called flying saucers said Monday that pictures of a hamburger-shaped object, snapped by two Michigan teen-agers, appeared authentic and tend to support reports of similar sightings. "The striking thing to me is the similarity of these pictures have to other photos I have seen and also to verbal descriptions I've taken from ostensibly reliable people," said Dr. J. Allen Hynek, "To the best of my recollec- oft the back has been previously reported, as has the structure," be added. The bearded, bespectacled Dr.

Hynek, chairman of the astronomy department at Northwestern University near Chicago, has studied unidentified flying objects (UFO) for more than a decade. He is scientific adviser to the Air Force's Project Blue Book, coordinator of all UFO reports for the military. Commenting in a copyrighted story in the Detroit News, Dr. Henyek said analysis of the pictures taken last week in suburban Macomb County "so far does not show any indication of an obvious hoax." The News sought Dr. Hynek's views because it was he who came to the state last spring to investigate a rash of UFO sightings.

Those sightings, all involving mysterious hovering lights at night, were written off by the professor as marsh gas, a phenomenon resulting from rotting vegetation. In this case, however, Dan Jaroslaw, 17, and his brother, Grant, 15, used an inexpensive Polaroid camera to snap four separate shots of an oblong object with what appear to be a tail and an antenna. The pictures were taken in the their home about 15 mfies-iiortheast of "Detroit, only a mile drtwo from Selfridge Air Force Base, and about 10 miles across the water from the northern 1 stflwrbs of Windsor, Ont. Selfridge. reported no unusual radar sightings and said helicopters in the area did not spot the object "Being a Polaroid print offer less chance for darkroom chicanery," said Dr.

Hynek. Adding to credibility, he said, was the fact that a series of pictures was taken rather than just one shot. Copies of the original pictures are being studied by the-Blue Book people at Wrignt-Pat- terson Air Force Base in Ohio, and by Dr. Hynek's staff.

(AP) -A former medical director of a state mental institution testified Monday he felt he had been "taken in" by Albert DeSalvo, the self-styled Boston strangler. Dr. Ames Robey, who resigned last summer from his post at the Massachusetts State Hospital at Bridgewater, testified at DeSalvo's trial on four assault charges not related to the stranglings that he had twice changed his diagnosis of DeSalvo's condition. Defense attorney F.

Lee Bailey asked Robey: "Are you trying to ten us that Albert conned you?" Robey replied: "I'm afraid that is exactly what I'm trying to tell you." Robey was called to the stand by Asst. Dist Atty. Donald Conn as the state tried to undermine Bailey's contention that DeSalvo was not mentally responsible for the acts with which he was charged. Robey and a second psychiatrist called by the prosecution both testified they felt DeSalvo could tell right from wrong at the time of the four assaults and was not laboring under any irresistible impulse. This contradicted testimony given by two defense psychiatrists last week.

THE PACE OF HOME building has continued to pick up for the second straight month. And December figures of the commerce Department Monday hint that housing starts may go higher again this month. The upswing came at the end of one of the slowest home-building years since World War II head of the National Education Association Monday denounced a proposal that publicly financed, privately ran schools be set up in competition with the public schools. Dr. William G.

Carr, executive secretary of the million-member NBA, called the plan of a U.S. Chamber of Commerce study group "terrible and certainly Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger of West Germany said Monday that perhaps his nation "can help overcome tensions between France and the United States." Reviewing his talks with President Charles de Gaulle in Paris last week, Kiesinger told a news conference in Bonn that differences had developed over future French relations with the United States. He gave no details. Legislature Roundup Amendments Are Introduced In House Republicans Spend Most WASHINGTON (AP) Republican success in the 1966 elections bears a partial price tag of more than $7.6 million, almost twice the national spending reported by the Democrats. Records filed with the clerk of the House showed Monday that Republican national organizations reported spending $7,613.321.91 while similar Democratic groups listed $4,268,484.17.

These totals come from reports by several groups in each party because the la-w limits any single organization to a maximum of $3 million. Gas Forces Evacuations WHEELING (AP) More than 30 homes were evacuated here Monday after an eight- inch natural gas pipeline was ruptured during construction work on Wheeling Island. Aurthorities said no one was injured or reported sick from the gas which escaped from a pipeline belonging lo the Manufacturers Light Heat Co. The residents of the area were allowed to retuin to their houses within three hours, after all the homes were checked with detectors and aired, a gas company spokesman said. The break occurred when construction machinery working on the rehabilitation of Wheeling Downs horse race track rammed pipeline.

CHARLESTON (AP) A little over two months after West Virginia voters turned down a five-item constitutional revision package in the November election the legislature is again receiving amendment proposals. Three were introduced in the House Monday, calling for votes the 1968 general election on constitutional amendments which would: --Give the governor sole responsibility for preparing the annual state budget recommendations to the legislature. Re now shares this function with his six fellow members of the Board of Public Works. --Make the State Constitution specify a minimum voting age of 18. The constitution does not now mention voting age, but it is set by statute at 21.

--Permit ratification votes on constitutional amendments to be taken either in general elections--the only method now provided--or spfBfjal elections. This is identical Htjfoe of the amendments rejected last fall. Approval by two-thirds of the elected membership of both houses is required to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot. House Finance Chairman Ivor F. Boiarsky, D-Kanawha, and Del.

George H. Seibert R- Ohio, introduced the "executive budget" resolution. It provides for an amendment similar--but not identical--to one turned down by the voters in 1962. Besides shifting the budget- making duty from the Board of Public Works to the governor alone, the proposed amendment would give the governor a veto over the budget as passed by the legislature. He would have power to veto either the whole act or individual line items Overriding the veto would require approval by two-thirds of the elected members of Senate and House.

The governor's present veto power does not extend to the budget act. It becomes law without going to him. His vetoes of other acts may be overridden by simple majority votes. Minority Leader Brereton C. Jones, R-Mason, and Del.

Robert D. Harman, R-Mincral, sponsored the age 18 voting amendment. A like measure was introduced in the Senate last week by Sen. R. E.

Baraett, D-Mercer. WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of State Dean Rusk said Monday U.S. bombing 01 North Vietnam must continue while American diplomats "keep trying to find out" whether a halt in the air raids would be a move toward peace. "We're not trying to take anything away from North Vietnam except their appetite for conquest in South Vietnam," Rusk told newsmen after a four-hour foreign policy report to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. As Rusk spoke on Capitol Hill Gen.

Earle G. Wheeler, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, defended U.S. raids on the North as "an integral, indispensable part" of the American effort to repeal Communist hi South Vietnam. And Wheeler said "I have no particular apprehension China is going to enter this conflict." He said the situation is not comparable to Korea, when Red Chinese troops were thrown into the conflict. "It would take an overt act on our part such as an attack on Communist China to trigger Red Chinese intervention," the general added.

Rusk's closed-door report keynoted a renewal of the often critical Senate inquiry into the U.S. position in Vietnam. And Sen. J. W.

Fulbright, D- the committee chairman, said it is a duty of Congress to question American policy and force a reexamination. "It shouldn't be allowed to pass without being challenged," said Fulbright, a persistent critic of the U.S. stand in Southeast Asia. Fulbright said the fundamental issue is whether the war is in "our national interest." and he expressed hope that escalation has not reached the "point of no return." Rusk, who is to testify in public session next Monday, said he does not think the Communists will misread a renewed inquiry as evidence of a weakening in U.S. determination.

In a Hanoi interview with Bill editor of the Miami News, North Vietnam's Presi dent Ho Chi Minn declared "we will never surrender our independence for the sake of peace." Rusk said that is not issue in Vietnam. "We're not talking about the independence of North Vietnam," he said. "What we're talking about is the attempt to seize South Vietnam by force. "If they'd stop doing that, there could be peace very quickly," the secretary said. The White House bad no com- DEAN RUSK Closed-Door Report GEN.

It admitted there was "a handful" of forces opposed to tMao Tse- tung in Codnmunist party and military circles. "The Chinese Communist party Central Committee calls on leaders who made general mistakes and those who made major mistakes but are not anti- Socialist to immediately correct their mistakes," said the broadcast, quoting an editorial in the ideological journal Red Flag.

The editorial was aimed at followers of President Liu Shaochi, the chief target of the purge. It apparently did not cover Liu himself, since he has been denounced as bourgeois -or anti-Socialist. The Hong Kong Evening Post, quoting diplomatic in Peking, said Liu had left the Chinese capital with several trusted Mends and gone to Shihchiachuan, a railway center 160 miles to the southwest. The paper described Shihchi- achuan as a Liu stronghold where he has widespread support from factory workers. The paper added that he was "ready for an all-out attack against Mao JERUSALEM (AP) Israel and Syria exchanged angry words Monday on the heels of an appeal from U.iN.

Secretary- General Thant to maintain the peace. Israel declared it cannot tolerate any more "aggressive acts," and Syria accused the Israelis of "aggressive intentions." Israeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban told the United Nations that Israel would be willing to meet Syria to discuss frontier troubles that have brought the nations close to war. He warned, however, that Israel had "the strength and the will" to face up to Syrian threats and "we have reached a limit." A communique in Damascus said Syria had received Thant's appeal and had cabled its dele- Transit Tieup Over PHILADELPHIA (AP) With a 27-hour transit strike over, the Philadelphia Transportation Co. said Monday it will need an extra $3.1 million yearly in higher fares to meet costs of the new labor settlement.

In New York, Israel and Syria accepted U.N. Secretary General Thant's appeal for an emergency meeting of the Israel Syria Mixed Armistice Commission. Eban told reporters Israel had built up arms along the border, as reported by Thant in bis appeal Sunday.

But he said Syria began to escalate border clashes by using tanks and mortars in violation of the armistice agreement forbidding heavy armament in defensive zones. "When the existing weapons at our disposal were not able to silence them, we decided to bring up tanks into the area," he added. Syria, on the other hand, mentioned no arms buildup on its side as reported by Thant. The communique from the Foreign Ministry charged that Israel alone was responsible for-tension along their 50-mile frontier. "The Syrian the communique added, "holds Israel responsible for any aggression and emphasizes that the Arab people link these suspicious moves with conspiracies that are being hatched against the interests of the Arab people." ment on Baggs' article and referred inquiries to the State Department, which also had no direct comment, beyond Rusk's statement to newsmen.

Rusk said Hanoi knows, as well, how to secure a halt in the American bombing. "Hanoi knows that we're prepared to stop the bombing if they'll tell us what will happen if we do," Rusk said. He said the North Vietnamese are demanding a permanent halt in American raids, not a suspension for a liraited period. In those circumstances, he said, it is essential that the United States receive some assurance of a reciprocal move by the Communists. Planes Raid Near Hanoi, Hit Oil Site SAIGON, South Viet Nam (AP) U.S.

fighter-bombers hammered an oil depot within 14'Xi miles of Hanoi Monday. Pilots said they sighted Communist MIGs, but none challenged them in the closest major air strike to the North Vietnam capital since the outcry last month over Hanoi's claims of civilian casualties. In the biggest ground operation of the war, allied troops methodically cleared a Viet Cong jungle redoubt 20 miles north of Saigon. The rumble of planes supporting 30,000 American and Vietnamese infantrymen in Operation Cedar Falls could be heard in the South Vietnamese capital. The U.S.

supersonic jets pounded the Hai Gai fuel stores area 14Ms miles north-northwest of Hanoi. An Air Force spokesman said the pilots spotted some MIGs during the flight, but that no clashes occurred. The depot had been hit on Dec. 2 and 5. Hanoi claimed the shooting down of a U.S.

plane 75 miles northwest Hanoi, along with a pilotless reconnaissance plane about 25 miles southwest of Hanoi. The New China; News agency.in Peking broadcast the claim. U.S. pilots took advantage of clearing skies over the north for the second day after more than two months unceasing poor weather. The pilots flew a total of 94 missions, ranging from the Red River delta down through the southern panhandle.

In forays Sunday, pilots re- Iported light to heavy groundfire with two flights of Air Forca Jets sighting MIGs. Three targets were pounded, 15 to 40 miles north of Hanoi, including the Viet Tri railroad yard. Light (Continued On Page 6) TROIS-RIVERES, Quo.
