Ready-Mix Concrete Building Materials Serving MARIN County WAIT TILL NEXT TRIP 'Space Ship Rider' Given Tough Cross-Examination PRE FAB SPACE STATION This is artist's conception of a prepackaged space station which might be shot into space by ferry rockets, then inflated and joined together while in orbit. Engineers of Goodyear Aircraft Aeromechanics nology Division propose that packaged fabrics for the satellite could be made rigid by air or gas pressure, or perhaps with quick-setting plastic foam. Satellites as big as 400 feet in diameter are envisioned by engineers.

Schmidt, a Bakersfield grain buyer who says he has pals from Saturn, took more than 150 Marinites on a verbal tour wdth them last night. The only trouble was that a sizable contingent of the younger generation from about fifth grade through high school to go along. They kept asking those darn smart- alecky scientific questions. appearance at the initial meeting of Fnder- I standing I 31 the better understanding of the people of this earth and not of this packed the house at the San Rafael Improvement Club. The unlettered grain buyer has traveled a long way since that day in 1957 when he burst into the police station at Kearney, to tell of being taken aboard a 100-by-40-foot space ship parked in the dry bed of the Platte River by two men who spoke English with a German accent.

There were four more people inside the space ship, he said two of them women. He said his trips in that same space ship since, with those same six persons, who later identified themselves as people from Saturn, have taken him to: 1. Tiie Arctic Circle, where the ship, operating as a submarine, took him to the floor of the ocean so he could see underwater "missile bases" built by the Russians. (He also saw prehistoric animals being thawed out of the ice; but that was all a later visit they were freezing up again.) 2. Egypt, where one of his Saturnian guides unlocked a secret room of a pyramid that had never been entered in 1,960 years and Schmidt copied a lengthy message from a plaque printed in "the American language" (one of 32 plaques printed in different languages).

Also inside the secret pyramid room was a 60-foot space ship, he declared, and inside the space sealed up for 1,960 the which Christ died atjd sandals and robe. Jesus, his guides told him, to heaven or to another planet" in that space ship (something less than 1,960 years ago if the Julian calendar errs only four years on the birth of Christ, as calendar experts claim). 3. A "mother ship" which was "very high up over Montana," for a return trip to the Arctic to show him the "Russian missile bases had been the U.S. Navy.

Ho said he just returned from that trip on Feb. 11. But all this was merely a warmup. On his next trip, the Saturnians have promised to take him on a tour of the planets. Moreover, promised to provide him with films so he can take all the pictures he wants to bring back and prove where been.

(Our own films work, he explained, because the space ship sets up a "magnetic field" which exposes them: He tried it. And so far, he been allowed to bring back any souvenirs.) The Saturnians look just like you and me, said couldn't pick them out in a crowd. And they dress as we least on their visits to our planet. Schmidt went into quite a few details for about an hour. But then he opened the meeting for questions from the floor.

And the kids were wicked. A high school youth piped up: "Saturn happens to be about minus 240 degrees. those people kind of fry on this earth at plus 70 March 10, I960 12 degrees?" Schmidt shrugged. They he said. Another teen-age boy was mighty interested in those 32 tablets in the pyramid, one of them in English.

There wasn't any English language 1,960 years ago, he pointed out. Schmidt explain that, either. Schmidt said the space ship flew from Bakersfield to the Arctic in one hour and 20 minutes, with stops in Alaska and Greenland en route "and they told me they were just taking it kind of Someone wanted to know whether the ship could exceed the speed of light. know what the speed of light is," said Schmidt. "They told me it took them about 11 hours to come the 73 million miles from Saturn." (Astronomers figure the distance from the earth to Saturn in a direct line, if both are in the same relation to the sun, at 794 million miles.) the real name of their planet?" asked another teen-ager.

"They told me Saturn," replied Schmidt. Said the youth, disappointed, got that from us." And then there was a young a fifth who kept insisting that Schmidt should have brought some souvenir out of that secret room in the pyramid. He brought it up repeatedly. Finally Schmidt declared. "You get nothing out of that pyramid.

You get it past the It was all very rough on the believers. Also a bit rough on them was a piece of paper that Schmidt waved and said was proof from the Navy of his story about the Russian missile launchers on the Arctic ocean floor. He read it. But copies of it went with a book of his adventures that he had on sale. Those who bought the book found the "documentary proof" was a reprint of a newspaper column by Robert S.

Allen, published in February, 1959, which claimed the Russians had installed radioactive direction finders 1 (not missile bases) of the U.S. and Canadian coasts (not in the Arctic) to guide submarine-fired missiles toward possible targets. It quoted no soiyree. But a notation on it said it had been "posted on U.S. Navy bulletin Ifoard at Long Beach, Calif." Anyhow, the take was quite good when some member of Understanding No.

31 passed the hat. And Mrs. Mary L. McAlpine of Fairfax, temporary president of the unit, reported 14 members signed up after the meeting and 24 more asked to be put on the mailing list. Shelter Cove Rezoning Bid Turned Down The Sausalito Planning Commission last night voted unanimously not to rezone a portion of Shelter Cove, the water area east of Bridgeway, between Valley and Richardson streets, for yacht harbor use.

A commission subcommittee reported at last meeting it was against the rezoning. It was also brought out that a committee had found recently that the area was not feasible for a yacht harbor. Members of the committee were Shirley Morgan. Herbert Madden, Ernest Nunes and Councilman John E. Koenig Jr.

Commissioner Robert E. McCabe said he was not in favor of rezoning because "I have a feeling that the attempt is to frankly block off the Benson development. I want to be a party to have a specific rezoning against one property owner." (Walter Benson, representing Views Land has asked for a use permit to build two apartments at the cove over the water.) Leonard Bjorklund. an attorney representing two clients in the cove area, favored the rezoning and said he believed each of the people on the committee had an interest to protect.
