Mysterious Flying
Objects Reported
Seen Over Japan

A U. S. AIR BASE, Northern
Japan R-Mysterious flying OBJ
jects - rotating clusters of red,
white and green lights -have been
sighted over northern Japan by
American airmen, the Air Force
disclosed today.
Intelligence reports placed the
sightings close to Russian territory
in the Kurile Islands and Sakhalin.
They added:
There are too many indications
Of the presence of something +.
to be considered an observation
Of nothing" And they discounted
the possibility the sighted objects
were mere reflections of light. "
Col. Curtis r. Low, commander
of the northern division of the ia
pan Air Defense Force, said the
flying clusters were seen by fighter
pilots and ground personnel and
were tracked on radar. He released
official intelligence reports on the
sighting to the Associated Press.
The reports were similar to those
describing Flying saucers" in the
U. S. One said the lights appeared
to hang motionless at times, and
at other times disappeared with
binding speed.
Col. Donald J. M. Blakeslee,
World War II ace and commander
of an escort fighter wing, took
detailed observations on one ro-
tating cluster and tried in vain to
intercept it in a jet.
The report said BlakeSlee closed
on the object after extinguishing
all the lights on his aircraft ito
make certain he was not getting
some reflection from his canopy
surface. When all lights we're out,
he noticed no change in the ap.

Key West Aquarium Has Only
Rare Trunkback Turtle In US,
''Meatball" Doesn't
Like Captivity In
Key West; Tries To
Knock Himself Out
BY JIM COBB

The Key West Municipal Acquari-
UNI is housing something of a ma
rine oddity but the critter isn't
particularly happy about the stu
alton.
AS a matter of fact, "Meatball'',
6-foot,- 6-inch, 75O-pound trunk
back" turtle (the only one ii cap
tivity in the nation according ID
marine experts1 now housed there
has objected so violently to his
capture that he has been engaged
in bashing his noggin up against
the sides of the concrete tank that
houses him at the aquarium. And
when a turtle, or any other crea-
ture that size rushes at full speed
into concrete wall, something
has got to give. In this case it is
Meatball's head which is slightly
the worse for wear after 48 hours
of this frustrating activity. Al
though just about all of the flesh
on the huge turtles head has been
worn off and his flippers are badly
damaged, he has now Gained down
] somewhat and stands a good
chance of survival barring infec-
ton, Aquarium Director Bill
Knoll said today.

same day by another shrimper

turtle died from drowning, how
ever, after . 4s-minvfe battle.
Meatball survived due to the fact
that the fishermen succeeded in
getting him Cor herr aboard in
short order before she had a
chance to drown. Turtles must be
free to come to the surface and
breathe periodically.
Manager Knoll said that to his
knowledge the turtle he has is the

KroIl said that Meatball is ap-
parentiy a female judging by the
sire Of its tail. Males generally
have a longer tail although that
may not be true for the trunkbsck
since they are so rare that little
is known about them.
They have no sppreciable com

some south Pacific islands use the

SELECTING BUTTONS

In choosing buttons for a garment
1t is well to consider some points
concerning the costume and the
person who is to wear it. Dresses
are selected with consideration for
the figure. for lines that will not
emphasize defects and poor proper
ions. The same consideration
'hould be used in placing buttons.
The large-busted person should a
void large buttons. or buttons ex-
tremely novel in design or color
Large buttons close to the base of
the neck emphasize the neck lines,
and this might be undesirable if the
neck is too long or too short
The shape of buttons also is i'm
portant For instance. a large rails
ed button would emphasize the
round face Angular buttons will
emphasize angulA features II
you have round face, you will find
a small round button. an oblong
spindle, or any odd-shaped button
quite suitable as FAR as shape is con-
cerned.
If your hands or wrists are large.
an oblonS button or a spindle but
ton, placed lengthwise on the
sleeves, will give a slender effect to
the wrist
The weight and texture of the
material in the garment also influ-
ences the selection of buttons. Vel
vet and stain call for a different
treatment than that given chiffon.
