People still are "seeing things in the air" in all sections of the country, and whether its a. case of jitters in an atomic age or illusions or aerial "phenomena" is something Wright-Patterson field officers would like to know.

Today, Col. C. H. Welch, public relations officer of the air materiel command, said he wanted the public to know the army is investigating such reports, regardless of the place or type of occurrence. Check Pilot's Report The colonel said Wright Field officers were in.

Asked the results of the investigation, the colonel said: "Nothing to report." Then he explained military intelligence is chai-ged with investigating any reports regarding such "flying discs" and that the matter is purely routine in nature. "If one of these things turned out to be something strange and new--the public will be informed," he said. Otherwise, he added, reports of such investigating teams remains the property of military intelligence.

No Figures oh Numbers The colonel didn't have the figure oi the number of cases of the Braves. That's five better than Feller's final mark of 19-15. Short Right Field A long ball has a good chance in the Boston park where the right field line is only 319 feet away, with only an eight foot fence to clear. In left field it's 337 but the double-decked signboard barrier is about 30 or 40 feet high. 196 strikeouts.

Lane, at St. Paul attending the arella (American) Little World Series, declared that he had heard nothing from Comiskey or anyone else being selected general manager. "flying discs" investigated in recent months, but- he said such reports are received daily--and are followed up by investigators. He cited one instance which he said was common to investigating teams. That was a report of a citizen seeing vari-colored "pulsating jets" on a flying disc speeding through the sky.

A routine check, he said, showed what the person had seen was a fast-moving army plane, and the "pulsating jets" were the red and green, lights flashing on and off on each tip 0 the wings.
