"I was standing in my front yard at the time, about dusk, with a little sunlight in the sky, when a flat, disc-like object came across the city from Just a little east of south and was gone in about four five seconds." To further confound anyone who is attempting to figure out what the mysterious gadgets are, Archie Edes, Wenatchee, was driving "It was going faster than any airplane, and it was descending on a long slant.

It seemed to be about four miles away, heading northeast, and it looked like a long, oval, blue-white flame." "It looked quite large and it certainly was traveling fast. It neared the ground, and when it was about 200 feet high it exploded. The final clincher came from Eugene, where enlargements of photographs revealed seven or shaped dots in the sky in what could be a military formation. The photos were taken by 2. H.

Jagels owned a 1948 pick-up truck, his complaint states, which he had loaned to George G. Grosshans to go to a doctor in Buhl for medical treatment.

His complaint alleges that Gros-hans was driving north on the "arterial" Clover highway and that Meiers was approaching that highway from a sideroad to the west about two miles south and one mile east of Burley corner, Buhl. Jagels charges that Meier was driving at excessive speed, failed to stop at the intersection, causing the death of Grosshans and damaging the pick-up truck beyond repair. Jagels asks $1,151.08 damages to his truck, $650 for loss of use of his truck computed at $25 per day for 26 days, and $10 for the wrecker towing charge, for a total of $1,711.08. His attorneys are Marshall Chapman and Lawrence B. Qulnn.

Shortly after the accident, the 19-year-old truck driver told Buhl Chief of Police Clyde Pryor that he had stopped at the intersection and noticing no approaching vehicles started onto the main highway. He told Pryor that the pick-up driven by Grosshans appeared from oter a small hill south of the intersection, going at a high rate of speed. On Feb. 19, Meier was cleared of blame for Grosshans' death by verdict of a nine-man coroner's jury at Buhl. MacArthur Stays Until Pact Signed TOKYO, June 27 (U.R Gen.
