Suddenly Vanished There was one noticeable difference about the Martian, Anderson said.

He walked with a light, springy step, making it seem that his feet barely touched the ground. How, Anderson was asked, did this Martian take his leave? He just vanished before my ayes," Anderson replied. That encounter, he said, was the third that he has had. The first occurred, he notes in a book he has published, on April 4, 1954, near Desert Hot Springs when he says he saw a flying saucer resting on the ground for 15 minutes. The other incident, also a saucer sighting, took place near Victorville in October, 1955.

The man in charge of this weekends convention of the Long Beach Cosmic Research Society is its president, the Reverend Robert W. Anderson (no relation to Carl Anderson). Reverend Anderson explains that the purpose of the convention is to acquaint the public with the fact that there are unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and that they are controlled by intelligent beings who have a message for the people of Earth. The message, he says, is to give us the principles by which we learn to live in harmony and peace with our fellow beings, as do the people from outer space. Mental Contact I have seen UFOs and have had mental contact with their people, but others here have had a great deal more experience than I have had in these matters, Rev.

Anderson said. He said ii was those people, such as John McCoy of Long Beach and others, who make up the list of speakers. Asked whether George Adam-ski, widely-known writer on UFOs from Palomar Gardens, would be present, Rev. Anderson said he was not listed among the speakers. The convention was advised of two projects now under way to further the aims outlined by Reverend Anderson.

One of these is the planning of a motion picture under the title of Project Outer Space. Mrs. June Ormond of Hollywood, wife of a motion picture producer now in the Orient, said her husband already has completed much of the planning for the production. The other project is the organization of junior and senior young peoples groups under the name of Skywatch of Understanding. The objective here is to get young people to watch the heavens for signs of extra-terrestial visitors.

The project is being pushed by Robert E. Short, Highland Park, who is editor of the Inter-Galaxy News. Short is one of the few people at the convention who claims he not only has seen a UFO but had a photograph to back up the claim. The photo was taken by his wife at Highland Park about 7:30 p.m. Sept 21, 1956.

It shows a large luminous object in the sky at a time when there was no moon or sun or bright star visible.

His wife, who had remained at home in Greer, S.C., with the seven children during the two House Probers Suggest Return Of All Presents WASHINGTON (UPI) Two House investigators said Saturday White House and congressional employes should return any gifts from Bernard Goldfine which the Boston textile tycoon wrote off as business expenses on his income tax forms. Goldfines motive is quite clear hes trying to buy influence, Representative Morgan M. Moulder (D-Mo.) charged.

Moulder is a member of the influence-investigating subcommittee investigating Goldfines relationship with Presidential Assistant Sherman Adams. Goldfine testified that his income tax returns listed Christmas checks to 33 employes at the White House and Capitol Hill as business expenses, the same treatment accorded various favors to Adams. Moulder tailed upon Adams to return at once the expensive oriental rug which Goldfine testified he loaned the White House aide. Representative John E. Moss (D-Calif.) said public officials should ship Goldfine gifts right back to the sender if they were listed as deductible items.

Leaving Washington for a weekend in Boston, Goldfine told newsmen Friday he expected to go on playing Santa Claus to poor federal workers. He said he was not a bit sorry for what hes given so far.
