GIs Charter

DETROIT, Feb. 81. (INS) -
Thirty-eight Michigan GIs, who
chartered an airliner for a fur
Tough at home, arrived Wednesday
tired but happy.
Each had Clipped in $446 to
make the trip possible. The Army
repeatedly offered to do it for
$500 each.
1t was the only way they could
spend their furloughs at home af-
ter completing basic training in
the Hawaiian Islands.
They had received a 7-day leave
plus four days travel time, the
amount normally given to men
who train on the mainland.

The army transported the men
from Willow Run Airport, 30
miles away, gave them breakfast
at Ft. Wayne, and then paid the
taxi fares to their homes.
Meanwhile, protests continued
to flow into Washington over the
Army's policy of sending mid
westerners to the Islands for train
ing, then granting them only the
standard furlough when that train
ing is completed.

Million Dollar Profits
Subject Morris To Probe

WASHINGTON, Feb. FL (INS)-Corruption prober,
Newbold Morris today defended his law firms role in a
complex series of deals involving war surplus tankers
bought from the government and resold at fabulous profits.
Morris insisted he personally received no money al
though his New York partner, Houston WATSON, repeatedly
obtained up. to $3.50, 900 in fees.

testify but it has not been decided
whether Morris will appear. Re-
publican Sens. Mundt, S. D., and
Nixon, Calf, both committee
members, have urged that Morris
be called.
Casey was the key figure in the
National Tanker Corp, which was
formed in 1947 on a $1,000 in
yestment and sold out three years
United Tanker Corp. for $45O,000.
Morris said WATSON represented
United in the transaction and in
all OTIS other legal business since
1948.
The government cleanup direc-

Morris added that the fees never
would have been questioned if he

Flying Suueers
Seen In Korea

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. (INS)
The air force launched an investi-
cation of Flying s~aucers" over
Korea today and said the strange
objects have been sighted by
crews Of two BIO bombers.
A spokesman said the flying
discs appeared" to be about three
feet in diameter and appeared"
to be capable of speeds of 200 to
300 miles an hour. He said they
were bright orange in color, &C
tually globe shape in appearance,
and seemed to emit blush flashes.
One of them seemed to fly
alongside a BIG over Wonsan for
five minutes on the night of JAN
uary Z9, and the other appeared
to maintain a parallel course along
side another bomber flying over
| Sunchow the same night.
Previous explanations have de-
scribed many flying discs as high
altitude balloons which go up to
100000 feet and more.
There extreme altitude, accord
ing to the explanations, makes
them appear small in diameter and
gives the impression that they are
moving at great speeds.
The Air Force gave no explana-
ton today, but merely said the
reports are being checked.

T TNSUSPECTED by any of the
~ participants in this little
drama, there had been another
witness to much of the acting.
Back at the ranch house. Melody
had been restless, insure of her
self, uncertain of what she wanted
to do. Usually she had an exactly
charted course in mind and fol-
lowed it without question or
deviation.
But this was different. She had
married Steve Russell, and al
ready she was at croSs-purposes
with her husband. There was
the nagging thought of disloyalty
in the course she had contem-
plated and more than halfway
entered upon. Disloyal, because
he was her husband and she loved
him, and she was working with
the Tarsons, who had been hostile
to the Russells through all the
history of the Bend.
Hesitating, her decision had
been to ride out and have a look
at the roundup, which report
said was now gradually working
back toward the ranch. 1t should
be an interesting spectacle. And
it would give her a chance to see
Steve again, before she did any
thing else.
Tat decision had taken a
weight off her mind She had en-
joyed the ride, and had finally
been lucky enough to sight Steve
himself, in the distance. Riding
closer, she had been in a position
to see most of what happened.
Now, separated from the little
group by another fringe of trees
and brush, she could both see
aid hear. She waited, watching
with growing fascination which
amounted to horror. She was
loath to break in upon what was
transporting, yet more reluctant to
60 away while Steve was in
volved in such a business.
The three were unhurried, al
most studiedly deliberate as they
closed around the Moose rider.
