TUESDAY, JULY 22, 1952 BLYTHEVULT! CAHK.1 COURIER Radar Spots 'Flying Saucers' Near Washington WASHINGTON IT! Air Force today Investigated reports that several "flying saucers" had been spotted by radar virtually in its own backyard on the outskirts of the nation's capital. Not only were unidentified objects seen on actual substance instead ol mere two airline pilots and a newsman saw eerie lights fitting the general description of flying saucers the same night. Officials could not. immediately gree on whether this was the first time radar has picked up flying saucers. Some said It was.

All agreed it was unusual. The objects also were different from the average reported saucev in lhat they traveled at a relatlvly slow speed, as well as later disclosing the customary burst that far outspeeds normal airplanes. Thorough Checks rlanned One thing was certain: A thorough investigation is being made by Ihe Air Technical Intelligence Center, Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, which has been set up to look Into Hying saucer reports. Such reports, officials had said earlier yesterday, are coming in faster than at any time since the initial flood in 1917. The current average Is about 100 sightings a month.

The flying saucers over the capital were reported late yesterday, about 3 hours after the incident actually occurred. This Is the story as pieced together from Air Force reports, persons involved, and other sources Kight Images Spotted An operator 'at the Air Traffic Control Center at Washington National Airport, across the Potomac from the capital, spotted eight un- identified Images on one of his radars the area surveillance scope, with a range of possibly 10 miles. The images were slow-moving, going probably loo to 130 miles an hour. And they were flying in (he vicinity of nearby Andrews Air Force Base. The control center, operated by the Civil Aeronautics Administration, notified (he Air Force and also asked planes in the air if they could see anything.

That was around midnight. Capt. S. C. (Casey) Picrman of Detroit, piloting Capital Airlines Flight 607, southbound from National Airport, soon reported seeing seven objects between Washington and Marlinsburg, w.

Va. He said they changed pace, sometimes moving at tremendous speed, at other times hanging almost motionless. 3-Way Civil Rights Split Is Developing CHICAGO three-way split over civil of the usual North-South division among Democratic platform drafters today. The 19 delegates assigned to rough out the party's presidential campaign principles began a marathon session to finish their task by Wednesday. Sen.

Warren G. Magnuson of Washington, who usually votes with the Northern wing of the party, told this reporter he coulri not support, a Senate anti-fillbiisier plank. "I think it's dishonest to say we are going to do something that we know we cannot do," he said. Sen. Herbert H.

Lehman of New York, also on the drafting group, and Sen. William Benton of Connecticut and Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota have predicted adoption not only of a stronger racial relations section also a plank calling for a change in Senate rules on filibusters. They comena that until the Senate rewrites Its rules there will be no chance of getting Congress to enact civil rights legislation." At five days of public hearings before the platform group Southern Democrats, who bolted the convention four years ago on this issue, remained strangely silent.

Sen. John Sparkman of Alabama, who did not bolt then and now Is supporting Sen. Richard B. Russell of Georgia for the presidential nomination, said he agreed with Magnuson. Sparkman also said he believes that Lehman and other Northern senators may be pushing the anti- Jilibuster issue in an effort, to pro- STEVENSON (Continued from Page 1) of Florida who also attended told reporters that It was obvious that there would be a general move on the part of the Southerners to decline to take the pledge and then see what the convention would do.

Kennon said those at the meeting included Sens. Byrd of Virginia. Stennis of Mississippi. Gov. Battle of Virginia and Gov White of Mississippi.

In Holland's absence, the Florida delegation had already talked it over and voted to go along with the pledge. Farris Bryant, chairman of the delegation, said the rule did not appear to be in conflict with his state's laws. Florida has opposed adoption of the rule, and Bryant had harsh words for those who rammed it through. He told the delegation: "I am afraid that those who are grabbing the party are going to destroy tile party that you and I were born In." mote the presidential bid of Averell Harrlman, who has backed their stand vigorously and publicly DEMOClATS (Continued from Page 1) scorn upon the Republican party and praise upon the Democratic administrations particularly those of Presidents Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S.

Truman. He made no mention of the Democrats' wife-open race for the presidential nomination this year. 'But he blasted the Republican nominee Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, as a complete novice unqualified for the presidency.

Tiie Republican convention two weeks ago, Dever said, raised "only the voice of the fossil." The platform adopted by the GOP then, he said, Is: "A shopworn declaration, conceived in malice, and dedicated to the proposition (hat all the great achievements of the last 20 years should be swept away." In choosing Eisenhower as standard bearer over Ohio's Sen. Robert A. Taft, he said, the Republicans "threw overboard the faithful pilot who had guided them for years and placed at their head one whose knowledge of navigation was confined to other waters." The 1952 election issue, he said, is "to keep the peace." Neither the OOP nor Eisenhower can do this, he contended, but the Democratic party's record against Communist aggression has proved It can. Dever made only passing reference to civil rights, the issue which split the 1948 Democratic convention and has imperiled North-South unity at this one. "On this issue, as in all others," he said, "the Democratic party must forever move forward." Dever said his personal belief upholds laws guaranteeing "full economic opportunity for all Americans, regardless of color, creed age or racial origin." In a prelude earlier in the day to Dever's keynote talk, National Chairman Frank E.

McKihney said the Democratic party was one of peace and prosperity. "Never before," McKinney said, "have the forces of wealth arid privilege been so strongly mobilized for an assault on the things it stands for."

Arkansas has made greater educational progress than any other state in the South.

McMath named Jim Grain of Wilson, Faber White of Osceola and T. F. (Doc) Dean of He was careful in his report, and later 'in an Interview, not to identify the objects as flying saucers.

He described them as "like falling stars without tails" but "In my years of flying I've seen a lot of falling or shooting stars but these were much faster. They couldn't have been aircraft. They were moving too fast for that. They were about the same size as the brighter stars, and were much higher than our 6000- foot altitude." Another airliner, Capital National Airlines Flight BIO, also reported seeing a light following it from Herndon, Va. to within four miles of Washington.
