The Air Force has said investigation of flying saucers reported over the past 10 years has produced no evidence that such things exist. It has contended that not a shred of evidence has turned up to show the existence of a flying saucer or interplanetary space ship or that the objects sighted indicate developments beyond the range of current scientific knowledge or pose a threat to the nation's security. The Air Force said last November investigations of 5,700 reported sightings showed the mysterious objects were balloons, aircraft, astronomical phenomena, birds, fireworks or hoaxes among other things.

Alamogfordo, N. (JP) Dr. Carl Jung, Swiss psychologist, says in a report that Unidentified Flying Objects are real and "show signs of intelligent guidance quasi-h a pilots." "I can only say for certain these things are not a mere rumor, something has been seen," Jung said in the report released yesterday. "A purely psychological explanation is ruled out." Jung, who started his research on'UFO's in 1944, released his report through the UFO Filter Center of the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization here. It was released by L.

J. Lorenzen of Holloman Air Force Base. "I have gathered a mass of observations of unidentified flying objects since 1944," Jung said. "The discs do not behave in accordance with physical laws, but as though without weight "If the extra-terrestial origin of this phenomena should be confirmed this would prove the existence of an intelligent interplanetary relationship. What such a fact might mean for humanity cannot be predicted.

But State Treasurer Aaron K.

Washington (JP) Bernard Goldfine faces the first step toward a contempt citation vant some questions of a House subcommittee probing his To Insist On UN Session Washington (JP) Presi dent Eisenhower is reported set to denounce Soviet Pre mier Khrushchev's new proposal for a quick Middle East summit conference outside the United Nations.

Eisenhower is understood to be ready to reaffirm his willingness to attend a summit parley but only within the 11-member UN Security Council in New York; Barring a sudden Soviet flip-flop, Khrushchev's angrily worded letter appeared virtually to kill chances for any emergency heads-of-government meeting in the near future on the Middle East crisis. Eisenhower was expected to make known his attitude late today after meeting with Secretary of State Dulles, who returned from a flying visit to London. In advance of this, authoritative officials assailed Khrushchev's message to Eisenhower as vicious and insulting. The harsh tone, they said, was clearly that of a man more interested in making propaganda than in meeting calmly with Eisenhower. Objection Forecast Eisenhower will most certainly, they said, reject as unacceptable Khrushchev's bid for immediate five-power talks in Moscow or any other European city.

Some authorities felt Eisenhower should counter Khrushchev's blast by annonuncing he would show up for a high-level Security Council meeting, whether or not the Soviet leader showed up. They recalled that Russia threatened to boycott the current Geneva technical talks on disarmament, but changed its mind when American officials went to the meeting despite Russia's last-minute objections. The White House foreshadowed Eisenhower's attitude late yesterday when it announced that there was no change in the President's proposal for keeping the meeting within the UN despite Khrushchev's newest blast. Text Not Received The initial White House reac tion came from reading news accounts reporting the text of Khrushchev's letter as broadcast by Radio Moscow. The full text of Khrushchev's message still had not been received by the State Department last night.

Moscow's1 move in swiftly pub licizing Khrushchev's words was viewed as added proof that he was mainly interested in maximum propaganda advantage rather than anticipating any American acceptance of his idea. One of Khrushchev's accusa tions that was likely to bring a sharply worded retort from Eisenhower was his comment that Eisenhower was not working for a settlement of the military conflict in the interests of preserving peace" but seeking to expand Middle East conflicts "with the threat of world catastrophe." Most officials said Khrush chev's move in rejecting a summit meeting with the United Nations Security Council reflected a fear that Eisenhower intended to counterattack Soviet ac cusations by blaming Russia for formenting Mid-east tension. nearest blimp landing field, the naval air station here. Thick fog kept the blimp on the ground all day yesterday, with its crew on a standby basis through the night. Stick to UN, Ike Urged Washington (JP) Three sena tors urged the Eisenhower admin istration today to stick to its demand that any over-all Middle East settlement be attempted only through the United Nations.

The three, all members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, are Senators Mike Mansfield Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn.) and Homer Capehart They expressed the opinion in separate interviews it would be a mistake to agree to the five-power conference outside the UN, as suggested by Soviet Premier Khrushchev. However, Mansfield, a UN delegate-nominee, said the "United States should go part of the way by agreeing to a Security Council meeting in Geneva. Khrushchev, noting that French Premier de Gaulle has urged a meeting in Europe away from the publicity glare of the UN, said he was ready to meet in Moscow, Vienna, Paris or any other place. Mansfield said the UN Security Council could meet in Geneva "in the cool and detached atmosphere that de Gaulle desires and that I think is needed." But Mansfield said he is against agreeing to Jvnrushchevs pro posal tor a conference of the United States, Britain, France, Russia and India outside of auspices. Bid Submitted On Dual Rt.

202 Trenton (JP) A low bid of $686,731 was submitted yester day on a state highway contract to make Route 202 a dual high way from the Flemington Circle to the South Branch of the Raritan River at Raritan Township, Hunterdon County. The bid was submitted by Public Constructors Inc. of Gloucester. The contract also calls for im proving intersections at Church Greenwood Reaville Rd. and Clover Hill Rd.

A new 25-j foot roadway will be built. i Port-au-Prince, Haiti (JP) A rebel group captured Dessalines army barracks next to the National Palace today and the government called upon the people by radio for support. Radio Port-au-Prince said the rebels were supporters of former President Paul Magloire, now in exile in the United States.

It also said two Americans were in the rebel group. Shooting broke out shortly after midnight and was still going on. A succession of radio announcers over the only station in operation today urged the people to arm themselves and go to the palace to defend President Francois Duvallier. The radio also summoned all soldiers to the palace. Situation Confused The situation was extremely confused and no one seemed to know what was going on.

Among the armed civilians in the streets was Under-minister of Commerce Lucien Chauvet Coatless, Chau-vet carried an automatic carbine of U. manufacture. He was with a group similarly armed. A newspaper reporter asked Chauvet what was happening. "I don't know yet," he replied.

Palace sources expressed the opinion the rebellion was led by two former army captains who had-been in exile in Miami, Alix Pasquet and Phillip Dominique, Overthrown in 1956 They were regarded as supporters of Magloire, who was overthrown by a general strike in December, 1956, after serving as president six years. The radio said rebels also had seized the army barracks at St. Marc, about 100 miles north of Port-au-Prince. St. Marc is a small port city with a highway leading into the.interior.

U. S. Ambassador Gerald Drew warned American residents here to keep off the streets. Although the radio said "the enemy has two Americans with there was no identification by name. President Duvallier has held office for the nine months.

During that period he has survived three conspiracies against his government. AF Bomber Crash Kills 1. Limestone, Maine UP) An Air Force plane believed to be a B-52 giant jet bomber crashed shortly after take-off from Loring Air Force Base here today. "Witnesses said they found one crewman dead and that another sur vived. There was no immediate word from the Air Force which rushed all available rescue equipment and search parties to the scene about three miles from the sprawling Strategic Air Command base near the Canadian border.

Residents of the area said the aircraft which normally carries a crew of eight barely missed the farm home of Carl Ireland. They said wreckage was scattered over a 20-acre area. 5 i irj Beirut (JP) An exploding automobile narrowly missed Lebanese Prime Minister Sami Solh today, killing at least eight persons a few yards ahead of the prime minister's car. Solh's car was not damaged and he was not hurt. He was driven on to his office.

The prime minister was com ing into Beirut from his subur ban home. In line in front of his car were a policeman on a motorcycle, a car carrying three gendarmes and taxi carrying four passengers. Car Lets Go As the group reached an inter section, a car parked there exploded, knocking the motorcycle policeman and the first two cars off the road. An official said the policeman, the three gen darmes and four civilians in the taxi were killed. Meanwhile, Parliament speaker Ade! Osseyran told the Associated Press there was general agreement among all parties that the army commander, Gen.

Fuad Shehab, would be elected to succeed pro-Western President Camille Chamoun. Osseyran predicted Shehab would get a virtually unanimous vote when Parliament met to elect a president Thursday. Shebab has reportedly agreed to accept the presidency. He has long been mentioned as a com promise candidate, but until now censors had eliminated such mention of him in dispatches from Birut. 'Appears Settled' A leading member of the Na tional Front that opposes Cha moun, likewise said: "It appears settled.

Most of us have already said we are willing to support Shehab. It looks as if he will be president." If the rebels and the govern supporters do unite be hind Shehab, he may be able to end the 81-day-old rebellion of anti-Chamoun forces who op posed the president's western leanings and his reported am bitions for a second term. An end to the rebellion presumably would result in the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Lebanon. Despite the mounting signs of political truce, there was hard fighting yesterday four miles northeast of Lebanon's northern seaport of Tripoli, around the town of Zegharta.

Two families, the Frangiyehas and the Du- waihys, were involved. They have had a long-standing feud and now have split over politics, the Duwaihys favoring the Chamoun government and the Fran giyehas opposing it. New Charges Jordan made new charges of plotting against King Hussein from the Syrian province of President Nasser's United Arab Republic. The Jordanian government said security forces had seized "large quantities of arms, ammunition and explosives" Jast night near the Syrian border. Hussein's government yesterday displayed to newsmen a col lection of arms it said were seized from Jordanian exiles who had infiltrated back from Syria It also claimed investigations had revealed "clear intervention by the authorities of the Syrian Army and some Jordanian de serters residing in Syria." The UAR kept ip its show of solidarity with the new revolu tionary government of Iraq.

Airliner Blows Tires, Tying Up Idlewild New York (JP) Idlewild Air port was closed to landings for seven hours after a Northeast Air line DC6B blew its four main landing-gear tires last night. The mishap occurred after the plane landed on the instrument runway at the airport. The liner, Flight 834 from Miami, blocked a runway and the main taxiway intersection. None of the 32 passengers and six crew men was hurt and there was no other damage to the plane.

a Needed state income or state sales tax Mevner's Cabinet. Meyner last Fall reiterated Democratic Party opposition to either an income or a sales tax. 2 Needed Reforms Neeld denied he was a direct advocate of a broad-based tax such as sales or income, but said such a tax went hand in hand with two needed reforms: Uniform assess ment of real property and an increased business tax. He said the business tax was necessary because the voter and taxpayer would demand that business pay its "fair share" after the enactment of the broad based tax. The veteran tax official appear ed before the state Senate Committee on the Revision and Amendment of Laws holding hearings on property assessments.

The chairman of the Newark Economic Development Council, H. Bruce Palmer, told the committee a complete overhaul of the tax system was needed. Offers Advice Palmer, president of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company said a tax system should: 1. "Preserve and promote New Jersey's advantages for industrial and commercial development and new investment to create new job opportunities for its citizens." 2. "Provide a sound, reliable fiscal base to meet current and future state and local government needs." 3.

"Eliminate inequity and uncertainty in tax liability and provide for a broad sharing of all government costs." Coast Guard Searches Ocean for Lost Jet New York (JP) Coast Guard boats today searched the Atlantic Ocean off Jones Beach, L.on Island, for a Marine jet plane be lieved to have crashed with two men aboard. It was assumed the plane ran out of gas last night while trying to grope its way through heavy fog to Floyd Bennett Naval Air Station in Brooklyn. '1 I 1' i -f3 Arkansans Go to Polls Little Rock, Ark. (P) Arkan sas' tense gubernatorial race mov ed to the ballot box today with Gov. Orval Faubus hoping that his stand in the Little Rock integration crisis would sweep him to a third term Democratic nomi nation.

Faubus, who ordered state troops to block school integration, faced two opponents in the Democratic preferential primary. In strongly Democratic Arkansas, nomination is equivalent to election. Should Faubus not win a ma jority in today's voting, he would face the runnerup in a runoff sec ond primary Aug. 12. The two candidates opposing the controversial incumbent Chris Finkbeiner, 37, Little Rock meat packing company executive, and Lee Ward, 51, of Paragould, a state court judge both conceded Faubus had an excellent chance to lead the preferential ticket.

But they pinned their hopes, on forcing the Governor into a runoff. Ward and Finkbeiner havej strongly criticized Faubus' action last September when the Governor prevented nine Negro chil dren from entering Little Rock Central High School by placing a cordon of National Guardsmen around the school. After Faubus- removed the state troops in face of a federal district court injunction directing him to cease interference, President Eisenhower sent regular Army paratroopers and feder alized the State Guard to enforce the court-ordered integration. Finkbeiner and Ward said they, too, believed in racial segregation but prescribed only "legal" methods of maintaining it. ''-2 y-- -MAM J.

f- i today for spurning as irrele special session today, called in advance of a meeting of the par ent House Commerce Committee The subcommittee carefully laid the groundwork for its. action several ago, demanding answers to a series of 23 questions about Goldfine's financial dealings. Goldfine, with equal firmness, refused to answer, contending the questions had nothing to do with the subcommittee's inquiry on whether improper influence had been brought on federal agencies Goldfine readily answered num erous other subcommittee ques tions, claiming a long personal friendship as the basis for his fre quent contacts with Adams, Pres ident Eisenhower's top aide. But he contended, as Adams had earlier, that he had received no special favors from govern ment agencies as a result. Only First Step Subcommittee action would be only the first step toward possible prosecution for contempt of Congress.

Action by the full Committee and by the House itself would be required to send a recommendation to the Justice Department for action. The Justice Department then would decide whether court action was warranted, and if so would present the case to a grand jury. A contempt conviction car ries penalties up to a $1,000 fine and a year in jail. With Congress hoping to ad journ in a few weeks, time was important for getting any action by the House. Any committee move to cite Goldfine for con tempt would die with the adjournment of Congress unless the House had acted first.

A departure scheduled for last midnight was postponed, once again because of weather. A crashing thunderstorm swept across New Jersey in the early morning hours. The 343-foot Navy exploration blimp, carrying a crew of 14 and a group of International Geophysical Year scientists, is bound for the ice island known as T-3, a floating weather station in the Arctic Ocean. If the expedition is a success, the ZPG-2 type blimp will be the first Navy airship to fly over the North Pole. But the flying sausage- has been dogged by bad weather since it took off from South Weymouth, night on what -was to have been the first-leg flight to Churchill, Canada.

Foul weather along the East Coast kept the blimp grounded for a whole day, and heavy fog delayed its departure from South Weymouth by 90 minutes.
