Senate Okays WATERPffONT Bonelli Wants To Reinstate Charles Berry Newt Notes Visitor Says He Conversed With Flying Saucer Crew Is How He Says It Looked i cs 'Mmntmitiimiimmilu'ii j. i Iiwi ttmm iWntHmHiilji'ii iifiiiin'rtuJWI, li I S. s. Bv Wallv Trailing I have had several interviews) this week with a man who says he has been aboard a flying saucer 11 times and has been promised a trip to a planet far beyond the moon.

He is Truman Bethurum, 55, of Redondo Beach, at present visiting friends in Scotts Valley. While on a construction job in the Nevada desert in 1952 he said citizens of the planet Clarion landed their space ship many times during the night between July 28th and October 18th, during which time he conversed with the crew and captain and learned many things about life in the universe. "What I saw cost me my job and endless ridicule," said Bethurum, "but I have my conscience to live with and everything I tell you to the best of my memory is the God's truth!" Bethurum is a straight-forward plain speaking man. He is a construction mechanic and talks like one. Since his experience has leaked out his life has been a hectic one.

On one of our meetings his wife, who believes him 100 per cent, vas present. Here is Bethurum's story: In June 1952, he took ajob with the Wells Fargo Construction company near Glendale Junction, Nevada, about 70 miles out of Las Vegas. He was working under an old boss and friend, E. E. "Whitey" Edwards, building an asphalt mixing plant.

At the time of his first contact, he said, he was a night mechanic taking care of a fleet of water trucks. On the evening of the 28th after preparing his water trucks for the following day he drove about a mile out in the desert to fulfill a request of his wife to find fossilized seashells for her collection. Following an hour of unsuccessful searching he returned to his truck and took a snooze. He was awakened about 4 a.m. by mumbling outside the cab.

Looking out he saw a group of eight or 10 men, each about 4 feet 8 inches tall. They were talking in a language ue could not understand. When he got out indicated that he could not understand, he said one of the men suddenly said: "You name it, we have no trouble with any language." He said the men, fully developed humans, were dressed in uniforms similar to Greyhound bus drivers. "I got out of the trUck and the '-JSsdm-W r- iiL'jKO. id rock cod, 75 pounds of pompano, 65 pounds of sardines, .400 pounds of silver smelt, 375 pounds of jack smeu, izo pounds of black cod and 190 pounds of king fish.

Cowell's Beach continues to be mecca for picnic parties. The Stagnaro Bros. Sea Food company received 1000 pounds of salmon, 250 pounds of sand dabs, 300 pounds of silver smelt, 800 pounds of rock cod, 250 pounds of sole, 400 pounds of ling cod and 50 pounds of gopher cod. Another of the large V-bottom- ed boats has been delivered from Stockton to the Santa Cruz Boat Rental company. Working on it are Tony Gomes and Bob Evans.

The 18-foot boat is to be Gomes' private boat. It will have seats in stalled and will be painted yellow with green gunwales. Twenty were fishing along Hali but Roy yesterday and 18 near the Stagnaro Landing. Much seaweed has washed in along Cowell's Beach. About 700 boys and girls from the Monterey area arrived in San ta Cruz on a special Southern Pa cific railroad tram, helping aug ment the summer crowd on the beach.

Gubser Reports Social Security Beneficiaries Mothers and children in Santa Cruz county were getting more than 10 per cent of the $212,574 monthly total in social security in surance benefits being paid in the county at the end of 19o3, accord ing to figures released today by Congressman Charles S. uuhser This represents an increase of about $2,000 a month in the total payments to this group of bene ficiaries in the 12-month period ending with December. Total pay ments to children in this county was $14,756 for the month of De cember. The largest group of benenciar ies under the social security in surance program, however, contin ue to be retired workers, Gubser said. In December, 3836 such ben eficiaries in Santa Cruz county were paid a total of $194,068.

This was an increase of $34,398 in pay ments over December. 1952. Gubser said many are inclined to think of old-age and survivors insurance under the social security system as a program for retired workers and their dependents ex clusively. As the figures relating to mothers and children indicate however, survivors' benefits are an important part of the program too. Other insurance beneficiaries on the rolls in this county are wives and aged dependents or re tired insured workers, aged widows and dependent widowers of de ceased workers, and dependent parents who are receiving bene fits.

The total of all beneficiaries in Santa Cruz county receiving month ly benefit payments at the end 1953 was 4998, Gubser said. Disability Pay Raise Suggested By Gov. Knight San Francisco VP). Higher dis ability insurance payments to workers who become unemployed because of illness or injury has been suggested by Gov. Goodwin J.

Knight Knight position was announced yesterday as the AFL State Building and Construction Trades council opened its 37th three-day convention. William A. Burkett director of the department of employment in an address told some 300 delegates that Knight had written him a letter saying: "1 am requesting that you review the operation of the disability insurance act and to examine the adequacy of California's disability benefits. "I am hopeful that it may be pos sible to revise the act so that work ers in Califoria who become un employed because of disability may receive benefits more nearly com mensurate with the wages lost than is possible under the present act." A worker presently can draw a maximum of $35 a week for 26 weeks. John F.

Henning, research direc tor of the State AFL, said current labor-management disputes in the San Joaquin valley were a "turning back of the clock" and there fore "a threat to the entire labor movement in California." "The AFL cannot give any quar ter in the fight against the open shop," Henning said. PETITION IS FILED A petition has been filed by Dora Colver seeking the termination of joint tenancy in the estate of W. T. Colver. The property is in the Ruffner tract.

The 4192 cars produced in the United States in 1900 were valued at nearly five million dollars. Sacramento tflV William (l Ra nelli, southern California member of the state board of equalization, said today he will seek the re instatement of Charles E. Berry, San Diego and Imperial county liquor administrator, perhaps at tomorrow's board meeting here. Berrv was discharged hv th board two weeks ago after he was cnarged with grand theft and conspiracy to solicit bribes connected wun tne issuance ot liquor licenses. Bonelli obiected at the tim snrl said subsequently he would ask his reinstatement.

Deputy Atty. Gen. William M. Bennett wired Board Chairman George R. Reilly, San Francisco, meanwhile, that he will oppose Bonelli's move to reinstate Berry, indicted at the same time as Assemblyman Charles W.

Lyon (R-Beverly Hills) by a San Diego grand jury. Lyon was charged with attempting to collect $6500 from Harry Patterson, San Diego, an applicant for a liquor license, and of actually collecting a $1000 bribe. Lyon said the money was a legal fee. At that time. Bonplli snnlrp nf "strange goings on" of a political nature.

Bennett, who has pushed the liquor license probe in the South, has also asked to meet with the board Thursday night to discuss the probe in which Gov. Knight has joined with the attorney gen erals omce. CERTIFICATE IS FILED An certificate, of doing business under a fictitious name has been filed by the Ocean View hotel in Davenport.

President Ei senhower won a big victory last night as the senate upheld his plan for a new private power plant in the Tennessee Valley area. irst the chamber refused on a I vote of 55-36 to forbid the project.

Then, on motion of Sen. Ferguson it adopted by voice vote an amendment specifically author-, mng the undertaking. ine proposed ban on it had been offered in another amendment, by Sen. Anderson to the pending bill which rewrites the nation's atomic energy law. orty-four Republicans and eleven Democrats voted against the Anderson amendment.

It was supported by 33 Democrats, two Republicans and Sen. Morse The Ferguson amendment sanc tioning the proposed electric power contract was accented without a rollcall. Some Democrat" objected at the speed with which the decision was accomplished, but the chair held the voice vote had been perfectly in order. When Sen. Knowland of Califor nia, Republican leader, moved to tie that decision down by a parliamentary device, Democrats then demanded a rollcall.

They lost, 56-35. Anderson's amendment would have specified that the atomic energy commission could contract only for power served directly to atomic installations. The president has instructed the AEC to conclude a 25-year con tract with a southern utility group for construction of a 107 million dollar steam plant to furnish power to the Memphis, area. The power would be serviced over Tennessee valley authority lines, replacing TVA electricity supplied to the Paducah, atomic plant. Anderson's amendment was de signed to kill the project by re stricting the AEC's contract au thority.

It also called for a review of all AEC power contracts by the senate-house atomic energy com mittee. The vote, at 8:40 p.m., climaxed a stormy eight-day debate, mainly on the power issue, which is only part oi the big bill. Ihe measure provides mainly for permitting private industry into the atomic field and for releasing 3ome nuclear secrets to Allied armies. During the day, the president told his news conference that he does not regard the AEC as an independent commission but one requiring his supervision. He reiterated that he is prepared to support TVA, as it is now, with his full strength.

Opponents have charged that the presidential directive overrode the independence of AEC and required it to exceed its legal authority. some also have contended the purpose is to prevent further TVA expansion, since the new electric power plant would replace anv immediate additional TVA facili ties. Administration spokesmen say the proposed contract with the Middle South Utilities, and tne southern company, is the cheapest method of obtaining an additional 60,000 kilowatts of now- or which, it is estimated, the TVA area win need by 1907. Cruiser Will Have Guided Missile Launcher Vallejo A guided missile launcher will be installed on the Los Angeles and will make her the first capital ship, on the west coast capable of launching the new weapons. The Los Angeles' commander, Capt.

W. W. Outerbridge. said yes terday the new launcher, which will be installed at the Mare Island navy yard on the ship's afterdeck, would be an additional weapon and wouldn change the ship func tion as a cruiser. It may launch the Regulus mis sue, ne said, or one of severa other recent types.

"It is still an experimental thing," Capt. Outerbridge said. "There probably will be some more work on it. In fact, it's so new no one here seems to know too much about it." The Los Angeles will be third heavy cruiser equipped to fire guided missiles. The others are the Boston and the Canberra.

Heroic French Nurse Will Be Guest Of SF San Francisco UPi. The heroic French nurse of Dien Bien Phu, Mile. Genevieve de Galard Terrau-be, will be a guest of San Francisco from August 9 until August 12, the department of state said yesterday. Mile, de Galard is visiting the United States on formal invitation of Congress, extended by President Eisenhower. It was the first time Congress ever formally invited a citizen of another nation to visit this country.

In San Francisco she will be entertained by various medical and nursipg associations, representative groups of the armed forces, the city, and members of the French -eolony. Stop your car upholstery Fishing was reported slow from the C. Stagnaro Fishing corporation deep sea boats Tuesday. Among the lucky fishermen were George Eckhardt of Felton with a 22 pound ling cod; Frank Pliim- mer of Redding, witn 15 pounds of red rock cod; Bob Miller of Merced with 15 pounds of cod varieties; Bill Routen of Stockton, 13 pound ling; L.

M. Bncker of Saratoga, 8 pound ling, and W. R. McDowell of Los Gatos, 9 pound ling. Outside coastal waters continue rough.

Salmon catches brought the C. Stagnaro Fishing corporation Tuesday amounted to 1200 pounds. The General Fish corporation re ported catches of 3500 pounds of salmon, 1745 pounds of black cod, 1455 pounds of sand dabs, 3295 pounds of rock cod, 165 pounds of soupfin shark, 150 pounds of goph er cod and 300 pounds of skates. Seventy-five were fishing off the end of the wharf at noon. A few large rubber nose perch were tak en but most of the catches were stogies, the smaller perch.

Some fishers with crabnets brought up four or five of the small red crabs at a cast. Del Rawls of the aquarium re ceived four pipe fish which have been placed in a tank. These, brought in by a youngster, are the first in the aquarium for some time. Another batch of 15 baby perch was born in the perch tank which now holds about three doz en of the babies. A Monterey skate, found on either side of the bay, is the largest the skte family in the aquarium at present.

Two pipe fish were brought to the aquarium by Roy Fisher. These long, snake like specimens of marme life belong to the horse- fish family and always are a great attraction. These are about 10 inches long. Another fish placed in a tank was a baby blue shark. The Santa Cruz Fisheries cor poration received 24 large abalones in the shell from Avila along the San Luis Obispo coast Other fish received by the firm included 600 pounds of salmon, 400 pounds of Four Drown In Two San Diego Area Accidents San Diego W.

Two separate ac cidents left a Ramona couple dead and two Wisconsin men missing and presumed dead yesterday. The bodies of Bud Hallbert, 31, and Barbara Talamonte, 20, both of Ramona were recovered yester day in San Diego bay. They had been missing after an outboard motorboat ride Tuesday night. O. M.

Ladd, deputy coroner, said both had drowned, neither could swim. The 15-foot boat was found stuck in a mudbank. The missing men were Blanch ard M. Sorensen, 33, of Oconomo- woc. and Richard G.

Shannon of MilwaukeeBoth were crewmen on the fishing boat Fairhaven which sank Tuesday night off Guadelupe island about 220 miles south of San Diego. They apparently were trapped in the forward part of the boat and went down with it. Bert J. Squire of San Diego, the skipper, was rescued by another fishing boat and returned here by a Coast Guard rescue plane. "We didn't hit anything, there was no explosion," he said.

"The boat suddenly rolled over and sank." Californians Have 19,300 Pools For Swimming Sacramento UFi. Californians have about 19,300 pools in which to swim, the state education depart ment estimates. They are making "a sizeable cott tribution to the safety, health, phy sical fitness and recreational life. it said in a monthly report to Gov, Knight. An additional 51 new pools are under construction, the department found in a statewide survey.

The swimming pool count in eludes those owned and operated bv governmental agencies, schools, hotels, resorts and lodges, as well as by private individuals. Theft Suspect, Running Away, Killed In Crash San Jose VP). A robbery suspect speeding 90 miles an hour in a preen sedan crashed into a power pole early yesterday and was fatal ly injured. Identified by police as Charles Anthony Capps, 26, he died severa hours after the. crash.

Patrolman Stanley Carey of the Santa Clara police department said a man armed with a long-barreled revolver held up two bars for a total of $187 and tried to hold up a third. The bartender there told him the boss had taken all the cash home, and the man left. Carev spotted the green sedan from radio descriptions and ran it down. After a scuffle, the driver jumped back in his car and roared away, Carey in pursuit. He hit a traffic island on the Alameda then struck the power pole.

1 This AKT1STS CONCFFnON OF Above is an artist's conception of the flying saucer which Truman Bethurum says he visited saucer he was allowed to visit. The captain introduced herself as Aura Rhanes from the planet Clarion, situated on the far side of the moon. When he asked how far away Clarion was, the captain told Bethurum, "I'm afraid you wouldn't comprehend my answer. Time and distance are of no concern to us, and what you call time and distance is inconsequential in our lives." She said Clarion could not be seen from the earth even with "progressive magnification," a term which Bethurum guessed meant telescope. She seemed acquainted with Mars and said it was a great.

manufacturing planet with beautiful estates and plenty of atmosphere. She said it was only recently that "scows" could land on the earth, but she would evade any questions about the saucer. The first visit, about 30 minutes, left Bethurum in a daze. When he drove back to the construction shop, determined not to say anything for fear of ridicule, some of the men including his boss, Whitey, had seen something go down in the distance and started to question Bethurum. They finally broke him down? but when he admitted seeing a flying saucer, his troubles started.

He saw the ship come down around August 3 in the same vicinity in the early morning hours and again was invited aboard. During his short talk he was told that inter-planetary travel was possible because they had solved the problem of "magnetical force." He was told that there were win dows in the ship, but he did not. see any. On none of the visits did the ship leave the ground. Bethurum said the captain spoke in a high pitched sing song voice and on the subject of worldly troubles he wrote down the following quote after the visit: "The things that trouble and worry you earth people, in our homes you'll never find.

We know nothing of illness, doctors or nurses. You have mechanics and laborers, too. In our land they only mean trouble, so you see they, are all taboo." Bethurum asked if they had seen our navy, army, air force and marines. "Every time they assemble," she said. She said they knew all about our atomic research.

He said he saw no lights aboard the ship, but the thing glowed inside. He saw no weapons. He wondered why they had chosen this spot in the desert to land and she said they didn't want to attract attention because someone might get hurt. He asked about their religion. Capt.

Rhanes said that the Clarion-ites "are very religions, and worship the Supreme Entity that sees all, knows all. and controls all." At the end of the second contact Bethurum wrote to his wife, Mary, and tried to get her to come out and be with him, because he was informed that he could expect other visits from the saucer. The letter he received back indicated she thought maybe the desert sun was getting him down. After subsequent exchanges she strictly forbade his mentioning the subject again. Mrs.

Bethurum said that only after she had contacted his daughters by a former marriage who informed her "father is not a man to lie" and later visits from military and aviatftm scientists said Bethurum was discussing terms from his notes that were just dawning, in aviation science and had not yet been put in publication, that she decided to stand by her husband without question. "Truman has failed to get a job with construction outfits because of this. He has to talk about it so we have decided to see this thing through," she said. He has written a book "Aboard a Flying Saucer" which will soon be on the book stands and may now be ordered in Santa Cruz. He is also lecturing on his experience and will talk Sunday at 8 p.m.

in the Santa Cruz Women's club on Mission street. During the visits of the saucer, Bethurum tried to give the story to the Las Vegas papers, but received a polite letter saying that it could not be printed. He tried to persuade his friends to accompany him and wait for the ship's return. A couple did sit out a couple of nights with him, but with no luck. About the closest anyone else came to sharing his experience was with his boss, Edwards (now working at Muroc AF base) who has signed a statement as to its veracity.

"We went to a restaurant in Glendale, Nevada, about 3:30 a.m. -'rriiniTHiiir -itrr in 'W St 'f ,4 TIU UO'HURt'M. tion from Bethurum's recently published book, "Aboard A Flying Saucer."

Bethurum said that he doesn't know if they will return to make good their prom ise, but distinctly remembers dis cussing the subject several times He and his wife are returning this August to Mormon Flats where he made the 11 contacts in 1952 to see what will happen. The captain said she had an idea that many earth people have seen them. She said the saucers hav been mistaken for falling stars in the past. One of the few reactions of the crew during his visits came when he brought up instances where the saucers had been chased by air force let planes. She said "You will probably re call that no plane has ever been harmed.

A few times we nave slowed down to test your planes sDeed and to let the crew have their jokes (here he said the crew seem to have enioyed this ioke and several chuckled) but most of the time we keen away. Bethurum said the captain look ed about 28 years old. "But she said she was a grandmother," he said, "so I know she must be older." Bethurum wrote his conversations down in the cab of his truck following the contacts. One time she described a wedding she had attended between the meetings with Bethurum. During the conversation Bethurum noticed her mentioning guests from other planets.

She also mentioned once visiting the moon, but did not elaborate. She also mentioned that the flurry of visits by saucers to earth was an "educative measure." She said the earth people could watch the skies any night and if some "of our sc.ows are near you will see that in flight the speed that we go makes a fluorescent show." She said many mistake the saucers for falling stars because of the arcs they make in outer space. Bethurum finished his job in February, 1953, and returned to Redondo Beach. There, he found that life was going to be different. Their home was hounded by both believers and disbelievers.

Gradually through his lectures and meetings with military and aviation experts, his self-confidence has returned, he said. Bethurum assured me that he could make much more money in construction work than he is making lecturing to people about his experience. "I never gave a talk in my life before this. I am the son of a blacksmith, never finished high school and my working life has been spent in factories, cottoq gins and construction work." "What has happened to me. is the truth, that's all I can say to you." SHOP IN GREATER SANTA CRUZ TRADING AREA FLlfi SAl'ttlt Dl ItlHKD numerous times in Nevada deserts.

The 55-year-old former, construction worker has for coffee when Edwards suddenly jabbed me and said 'Aren't those the people you were Bethurum reported. Bethurum, who hadn't seen any customers enter the otherwise empty cafe, saw the woman captain and one of her men. The sight of them frightened Ed-Nvards so Bethurum told him to remain just outside the door and watch them come out. However, Bethurum could not strike up a conversation.

They ignored him. He sat down for a cup of coffee when the Clarionites got up to leave. He saw them walk toward the door, then they disappeared. Edwards, standing waiting for them outside the door, swears no one came out. Bethurum said the saucer, when seen in the sky, left a streak somewhat like a falling star.

When it took off it made no noise and did not spin. Once when the saucer came down near his desert outpost station, the crew invited him to lift the edge of the ship (he estimated it weighed thousands of tons). He jokingly rested his shoulder under the beveled edge and was astounded to find that he could lift it. Another time he was asked how the Clarionites destroyed their enemies. The captain said they would not hurt anyone and did not want to harm the earth people or anyone unless they became obnoxious to them.

After persisting, Captain Rhanes finally said calmly that if attacked the people would simply disappear! As a way of demonstration he said they asked him to hold a flashlight in his open palm. He did and seconds later the flashlight was gone disappeared! In discussing the planet Clarion, Capt. Rhanes said "the Clarionites love to dance and they have many styles of dancing, polkas, square dances, and some ballets which are really new. "We have farms and farmers, experts who till the soil with methods which would surprise you. Some of the vegetables and animals you would recognize, others you wouldn't." She said the Clarionites use three kinds of power antimagnet-ic, plutonic and nutronrc.

She said there was no fear of accidents in their vehicles "thanks to antimag-netic flashes." Captain Rhanes told Bethurum a leisurely trip to their planet took 48 hours. She said such speed was beyond the comprehension of earth people and did not expect Bethurum to understand. He asked about television and apparently it is old hat now. She said that they had advanced to a point where they can now go back in time and get past happenings on their screen. The event that thrilled Bethurum the most during the visits thru St AS- fill rv- second my feet hit the ground I saw the saucer.

It looked like burnished stainless steel. Later I was told it measured 300 feet in diameter and was six yards deep in the center. It was hovering several feet above the ground." He said he was taken aboard to meet the captain a woman.

The crew members all had black bair and skin somewhat the color of an Italian's," he said. She had smooth olive skin, wonderful complexion and wore no make-up. When I could find my tongue I began to ask questions," he said.
