I AF Disproves Five Reports Of Saucers WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 (EP)— The Air Force said today it has looked into five recent reports of mysterious lights and strange ob jects from the sky and there isn't a flying saucer in the lot. The Air Force report gave the most. severe description—"hoax" —to the most vivid of the stories that began circulating after Soviet satellites turned - the attention of Americans skyward. This was a Kearney, Neb., man's account of being shown around the interior of a spaceship by its German _ speaking crew. But the Air Force technical in-, vestigators also dismissed as ex-' aggerations, or misunderstood na-i tural phenomena, stories of a huge ; glowing object touching groundi near' Loveland, Tex., and causing, automobiles to stall; somewhat 4 I similar reports from near Alamo- I gordo, N.M.; bright lights seen' from a Coast Guard cutter in the Gulf of Mexico. and by planes, patrolling near White Sands, N.M.! The investigators said that when they checked accounts of a fiery ! object hundreds of feet long sup-, posed to have been seen by dozens; of persons in Texas, they couldt find only three who saw the "big' light." The light, they said. was visible only intermittently. Thun derstorms were raging at thei time. The investigators concluded that what was seen was a natural elec trical phenomenon called "ball lightning" or "St. Elmo's fire" and that the same stormy conditions which cause such phenomena might account for wet engines and consequent stalling of automo biles. HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Nov. 15 UP)—A Jupiter-C missile nose cone that was fired back through the atmosphere and recovered looked like a brilliant meteorite, witnesses said in statements re leased today. The test vehicle was fired from Cape Canaveral, Fla., into the At lantic, flashing directly to the tar get area_ Army Ups Call To 10,000 Men WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 (JP)—' The Army today raised its draft call for January to 10,000 men and forecast even higher induction quotas through next June. The January figure is 3000 more than the quota announced for Decei-nber. Asst. Secretary of the Army Hugh Milton told reporters that increased drafts are necessary for the first six months of 1958 even though the Army is now dropping; 100,000 men in line wth manpow er cutbacks ordered some months ago by former ,Defense Secretary Milton . said more draftees will' be 'needed because the Army's losses will be greater than the reduction program calls for. He noted that performance and abil ity standards have been raised considerably and said this will prevent the re-enlistment of men who have shown less aptitude. Milton said also that—the fact that draft terms run for two years 'means that every second year more men complete their service tours, requiring more men to fill the gaps. THE DAILY COUEGIAN STATF COUFGF PENNSYLVANIA Squitiante Pleads sth In Mafia Investigation WASHINGTON, Nov. 15 (iP)-- Vincent (Timmy) Squillante, who has been pictured as a big man in the New York rackets, stepped behind the Fifth Amendment to day when questioned before a Senate investigating committee. The five - and - one - half foot Squillante, alleged overlord of a 50-million-dollar a year trash col lecting industry, refused to an swer a series of questions on the ground the answers "may tend to incriminate me." Among the questions turned aside were: 1. Whether he is an important figure in the Mafia, or Black Hand criminal society. and a dealer in narcotics. Committee men said they planned to ex plore later whether the Mafia is involved in the giant Team- 2 More Bodies from Air Crash Found; All 44 Believed Dead HONOLULU, Nov. 15 (fP)—The sea yielded two more broken ;bodies today and there was additional evidence that all 44 persons abroad probably died swiftly and violently when Pan American's Stratocruiser Romance of the Skies met her fate with terrific ;force a week 'ago.
