An Air Force investigator
yesterday watched the Army
Engineers turn out more labora-
tory flying saucers" at Fort Bel
lvoir. Va. and expressed interest
in the theory behind them.
Pending further inquiry, the in
telligence officer withheld COM
ment on the air-borne lights pro-
duced by low air pressure and
static electricity. Since 1947 the
Air Force has been tracking down
information which might lead to
a solution of the flying saucer
mystery.
The intelligence officer was ac-
companied by an Air Force in
formation specialist. Both serv-
ices have received a vast number
Iof reports and inquiries since I'M
identified "blips" began showing
Iup on radar screens at National
Airport and Andrews Air Force
Base this summer.
Details Requested.
Meanwhile, the Research and
Development Laboratories at Fort
Belvoir are receiving many re-
quests for details on the expert
ments conducted in a huge vacuum
jar charged with static electricity
Lights appearing in the bell bear
"a striking resemblance to those
described by saucer sighters.
Physicist Noel w. Scott believes
he stumbled on at least partial
answer to the mystery while seek
ing a means of coating mirror
surfaces in the laboratory. In
effect, Mr.. Scott says, he achieved
a miniature section of the strato-
sphere during an interchange of
electric energy with the earth.
Mr.. SCOTS theory is based on
the belief that ionized cloud"
masses in thin air give off the
mysterious lights seen on the
ground both usually and by radar.
It has been known for years that
clearly-formed images on radar
screens can result from echoes"
sent back by ionized clouds or
layers.

electronics is now being devoted

Gets Commissioners
Plans for 81 Budget

The Citizens Advisory Council
today was to be handed the Dis
trict Commissioners 1854 budget
recommendations for study and
comment.
The city heads yesterday COM
pleted the task of screening their
department chiefs requests for
$181 million in appropriations.
Since this total exceeds antici-
pated revenue by $40 million, it
may be safely assumed the Com
missioners wasted no time bring
ing the proposed budget into bal
ance.
And since the agencies went
about in new construction re-
quests. it is equally safe to assume
this category will suffer most In
the balancing process.
Budget officials will be called
on to brief the citizens council
on the niceties of adjusting a city
budget. Chairman Robert v
Fleming probably will order the
council membership to file a re-
port as soon as possible, since
the Districts appropriation pro-
poSalS must be presented to the
Federal Budget Bureau by mid
October.
The only other order of business
at this time is the councils ex-
pected receipt of report from
it's special committee studying
fluoridation Of the city water
supply.
The committee, headed by DR..
Edward C. Mazique, has been in
vestigating lay and professional
views of fiuoridation for about a
month, even though the city has
been drinking fluoridated water
for nearly two months.
In three hearings, the group
heard vociferous expressions on
both sides. DR.. Mazinque would
not say yesterday what his COM
mittee, which includes William j.
Smith and j. c. Turner, Is pre-
pared to recommend.

Commissioners Give $50
To Promote Cup Regatta

The District Commissioners to-
day came through with their Gus
tomary appropriation Of $3.50 to
help promote the Presidents Cup
Regatta next month.
The amount will be taken from
the so-called confidential fund
totaling $1,000 which is granted
the city heads by Congress for
such incidentals each year.
Speaking stoutly for the sup
port, Commissioner F. Joseph
Donohue declared that with the
exception of presidential inaugu-
rails and Cherry Blossom Festi-
walls. the regatta brings more peo-
pie to Washington then any other
single event.
The appropriation reminder was
sent the Commissioners by Jack
Blank. auto dealer and chairman
of the regatta prize committee.

Arlington Suspends
Third Policeman on
Misconduct CHARGE

Another Arlington policeman.

which led to suspension of two
other police priyates last week. /"
No Warrant Issued.
Chief Fawver said the investi-
cation is continuing. He declined
to comment on the specific charges
against Totten, and said no war
rant for criminal charges has
been issued against him.
The two men, suspended last
Friday. have been charged with
VICIOUS ana immoral influence on
"a Juvenile" Warrants served then

bond each. A hearing is sched-
uled in Juvenile Court late this
month.
Pearson and Livesay said they
would not appeal the suspensions,
although they automatically will
be discharged at the end of q 10
day appeal period.
Totten has been a member of
the police force for over a year
and half. He was not available

Maj. Gen. John A. Sanford, di-

images at Dayton, Ohio, turned
out to be masses of ice crystals.
One of the strangest "ghost"
targets for radar developed at
relatively low altitude last year in
the vicinity of the Oak Ridge
CTenno atomic energy plant.
Two interceptors locked their
automatic controls on a radar fix
slightly above them at an altitude
of 1000 feet. The target led them
downward and would have
plunged the fighters into the
ground had the pilots not taken
over manually to pull out of
dives, an Air Force spokesman
said
The pilots climbed again. found
another target" and were again
led downward. A third try had
the same result. Radar and auto
matte controls apparently were
functioning normally, it was said.
Until many solar mysteries are

man put it. I'VE must continue to

District Seeking 10 Raise
PAY Of 7 Police Captains

The District Commissioners
tried in vain today to find a way
to give two police captains the
81 900 a year pay raise that Con-
gress voted.
The captains, Michael j. Dowd
and Carl D. Schamp, are assigned
to the Capitol as liaison officers.
Congressional friends added the
pay raise provision to the District
appropriations bill.
But Police Chief Robert v. Muir

the law forbids him to recommend
salaries for captains higher, than
those provided by law. The COM
missioners asked District Auditor
A. r. Pilkerton to determine II

Meeting
On RosedaIe IS
SET for Monday
Police and Recreation
Officials to Confer
With Commissioners

A special meeting today was
called for Monday so that the Dis
trict Commissioners. police and
recreation officials may discuss the
situation at Rosedale Playground.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue made the announcement after
a brief question-and-answer SEES
sion during the Board of Commits
sioners meeting with Frank Col
Inns. chairman of the Recreation
Board and Robert w. Andrews,
acting superintendent Of recrea-
ton.
The discussion was devoted en-
tirely to background information
involving the playground, which
has been 'picketed" recently in
protest of its segregated use for
white children. Facilities of the
playground, at Seventeenth and
Gales streets NE, include a SWIM
ming pool for whites only as we'll
as other extensive play equipment.
Declines to Elaborate.
Commissioner Donohue refused
to tell newsmen what purpose the
Monday meeting might serve. His
only comment was. I'VE hope to
reach a conclusion"
About the only fair assumption.
according to informed sources, is
that Mr.. Collins might be pre-
vailed upon to call a special meet
ing of the Recreation Board,
which is in recess until September,
to discuss the Rosedale question.
The meeting is to be attended by
all three Commissioners, Budget
Officer Walter L. Fowler, who is
the city heads representative On
the Recreation Board, Mr.. Col
Inns and Inspector George Wall
rodt, police official in charge of
preventing trouble during the
playground picketing.
Under the recreation act of
1912. full authority Of the Dis
trict's playground policies and OPP
erations is vested in the Recrea-
ton Board alone.
Queries on Setup.
In the conference today with
the recreation officials, Commits
sioner Donohue's queries were
directed at learning the capacity
of the Rosedale pool, the racial
composition of the neighborhood
and the location of the nearest
Negro Fairgrounds to the Rose
dale vicinity.
The Commissioner was told that
the nearest Negro playground to
Rosedale is that Of the Blow
about four blocks away.
This playground, however, is about
two-thirds smaller than Rosedale,
has far less equipment and no
swimming pool.
The nearest pool available for
use by Negro children is in Ana
costa. This operates under the
Interior Department policy of
non-Segregation. The nearest
playground with facilities COM
parable to RoSedale operated for
Negro children, is the Langston
Recreation Center, about six blocks
away.
