ANT NO SUCH
 ANIMAL, SAYS AIR FORCE OF 'SAU(ERS'

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28-tR-Af- ter checking up on 375 rumors of
 weird and wondrous sights in the
 sky, the Air Force has concluded
 that there aren't any flying saul cers."
 It took two years, special team from the USAF's science staff, and help from university consultants to
 track down the rumors of strange
 discs whizzing through the air Last night the Air Force said Project Flying Saucer"-the in- vestigation started by the Air Ma teriel Command at Wright Base Dayton, Ohio, on January p, 1948- has been ordered ended because there is nothing to show that the reports were mot the results of natural phenomena
 All evidence, it added, points to three factors smisinterpretation of various conventional objects; a mild form of mass hysteria; or hoaxes"-as the origin of the fly I, ing saucer reports.
 The effect of last nights Ar Force announcement was to deny story appearing in the current edition of the magazine True / The magazine said it had learned that "a rocket authority stationed at Wright Field has told Project Saucer personnel flatly that the saucers are interplanetary and that no other conclusion is pos sible"

FORMER WORKER IN ALASKA CONTESTS
 TO MURDER IN 1943

SACRAMENTO Calif., Dec. 28- R-John Darrow, 51, has surrend- cred himself to police and said he killed his former wife in Phoe- nix, Ariz., in 1943.
 But Phoenix authorities said they were not certain the woman Dar- row named--Nelda June Burner was his ex-wife nor that her death was a case of murder.
 A coroner's jury ruled that her death in Phoenix, May 8, 1943 was at the hands of person or per- sons unknown" although the county attorney said at the time it looked like suicide.
 Darrow, a transient, said in a signed statement he shot the wo- man with .32 calibre pistol and was sure he had killed her but did not stay to see if she was dead.
 He told police he learned defin- itely she was dead last month. The information, he said, came from his daughter, Mrs. Kenneth Gallahue of Louisville.
 Darrow said it also was Mrs. Gall lahue who informed him in 1943 that his ex-wife was living in Phoenix under the name of Bun- ner. She had left him while he was working in Alaska, DarroW added.
 He told police he fired one shot at the woman when she opened the door of her apartment and slipped away before he was seen

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON lNoov~,rrx mo hv HaI aunAfroto Tho

WASHINGTON - To make it tougher for Senators to conceal kickbacks, Secretary of the Senate Les Biffle has ordered to be pub lished the names and salaries of everyone on Senators payrolls. This information had always been available to the public until the Republicans took charge of Con- gress in 1946. The COP Secretary of the Senate Carl Loeffler issued blackout order, suppressing in formation about Senator's employ ees. This was about the same time this column was Investigating Congressman J. Parnell Thomas for accepting kickbacks from his employees.
 Loeffler admitted to this col- umn that he had acted upon the orders of a mysterious Senator whom he refused to identify. LatSr, when this column exposed what Loeffler was up to, Sen. Burnet Maybank, South Carolina Demo- crat, introduced a bill to force Loeffler to publish the names and salaries of all Senate employees. But Maybank's bill was suppressed by Republicans, didn't even get a hearing.
 Now, conscientious Les Biffle has countermanded Loeffler's order and directed that all names and salaries must be published.

|pAClF IC EXPLORER
 PUZZLES FEM; GVvI. ASKS WHAT TO DO

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28-tR- The government has asked the fish, ing and canning industries wha to do about it's big-and highly controversial--fac ship, the Pa cific Explorer
 The Maritime Commission re- cently asked would-be buyers tC init bids for the vessel.
 The highest offer, $l20,000, came from a Tangiers, North Africa, op- orator.
 Highest domestic offer was $45, ,69l from a seattle concern.
 And, if the vessel-equipped tC catch, can and freeze fish-is sole to a foreign concern the product may turn up in competition wltf the US. fishing industry for US markets.
 Then, too, the government spent S4,000,000 in 1945 to convert thu 3,800-ton, 401-foot World War steel vessel for fishery work.
 RENTED TO BEz
 The Reconstruction Finance Cor poration rented the ship for $50,00t year--or 55 percent of the profits whichever proved the greater-tt Nick Beg of Seattle.
 Beg operated the Pacific Explorer and its auxiliary fishing craft off Costa Rica from January to July l947, and returned to Astoria, Ore. with 2,25O tons of frozen tuna.
 Rival Pacific coast tuna canners protested to Washington against competition through government subsidy"
 From March to July. 1948. tho Explorer operated in Westerr Alaskan waters. It processed almos 100000 king crabs and more thar 100000 pounds of bottom fish Since then it has been in dock a Astoria, Ore.
 ANDERSON'S VIEWS
 A. w. Anderson, Chief of Com mercial Fisheries for the Fish and Wildlife Service, told reporter that as a result of the Maritime Commissions action he has asked industry for an opinion on dispo- sition of the ship
 The National Gamers Association and. the National Fisheries Insti- tute said they are studying Ander- sons request.
 At those bids, it looks like the government is taking an awful shellacking," commented Charles Carry, an official of the Gamers Association.
 Anderson said the Pacific Ex- plorer failed to dray the cost o1 the Alaskan crab operation, par tially because of the difficulty anc expense of an initial operation.
 The Costa Rican trip, however demonstrated the feasibility of fac tory vessels, he said.
