ENTER: THE FLYING SAUCER" SEASON


 Air Force officials pointed out few days ago that the Flying Saucer Season" is approaching. The meteor showers which easily seen in the heavens in the summer especially in July and August, always bring about furry of reports of Flying Saucer' sightings.
 Air Force officials say reports from citizens claim ing to have Flying Saucers have fallen off heav fly since 1852 They believe better public education about flying machines, and better scientific invest- gations, have reduced the reports.
 It is reported that so far in 1854, 87 sightings have been reported. Over 1700 such sghtings were reported in 1852 alone By 1953 the number had drop ped to something 400, and if the current rate continues the number of sghtings this year will drop to around 200.
 Air Force officials admit they cannot explain some ten per Of the sighting and deny that they dis interested in such reports On the contrary Air Force officials say the air service appreciates reports about unidentified flying objects and welcomes such 'in- forTnation.

SchwabIe Displayed
No Feeling Of Guilt,
Psychiairist Says
By [. Edgar Primo

An Army psychiatrist told q
Marine court Of inquiry today
that Col. Frank H. Schwable
showed no telling of guilt at
having signed false germ war;
fare confession while a prisoner
of the Communists in Korea.
1t. Col. Arthur L. Hessin, now
stationed at the Letterman Army
Hospital in California. testified
that the 45-year-old Arlington
aviator felt that he had given
the Reds a statement so far
from the truth it would be val
ueless.
Officer Responsibility Cited.
Col. Hessin said Col. Schwable
expressed feeling of guilt at
the possibility of having let his
fellow prisoners of war down.
Under questioning by counsel
for Col. Schwable, the witness
conceded. however. that this
feeling Of guilt" was generated
in part because of the colonels
feeling of responsibility as a
high-ranking Marine officer.
The court of inquiry is looking
into Col, Schwable's "confes-
sion" to see whether any pun
ishment should be recommend
ed. The court is merely a fact
finding body. 1t is composed OF
three Marine major generals
and a rear admiral Of the Navy
Medical Corps.
Col. Hessin also told the court
that Col. Schwable had exhibited
tension. anxiety. apprehension
and a lack of security.
Prolonged Pressures Cited.
The witness stated he felt the
prolonged pressures and solitary
confinement which Col. Schwable
underwent as prisoner may
have resulted in the colonel's
suffering an impairment of
judgment"
Col. Schwable showed no signs
of malnutrition, physical violence
or exposure at the time Of the
interview-some two weeks after
he was repatriated in Septem-
Der, 1953-according to Col.
Hessin. In response to a ques-
ton, the witness also said he
felt that Col. Schwable, at the
time, was able to tell right from
wrong and could adhere to the
right"
Normal Feeling of Guilt
Col. Hessin agreed with coun-
sci for Col. Schwable that the
latter had "the normal feeling
of guilt any military man has at
having been captured by the
enemy" And the witness agreed
with the court that, in psy-
chiatry. guilt" does not have
to be related to any offense.
Earlier, 1t. Col. Vincent J.
Cassone. an Army psychiatrist
who interviewed Col. Schwable
at the repatriation center in
Korea. said the colonel indicated
to him that "he had reached the
extreme of his tolerance"

Acting Award Winners Like
The Praise of Professionals
By james Rowland

The confidence a young actor
gains by performing before a live
audience varies, depending on
the components of that audience
and the professional quality of
their appreciation. Relatives,
naturally, will applaud dutifully.
But it's the remarks of theater
veterans, no matter how casual,
that make a youngster decide
that the hours of his free time
spent in rehearsals were worth
the loss of other pleasures.
Three amateur groups and
nine individuals are among those
who will Immediately give an
enthusiastic yes to the question
of whether their rehearsal time
was well spent. They are WIN
ners in the Ninth Annual WASH
