UFOs may start holocaust
Space attack could be mistaken for enemy attack
By GENE GRYGO

A nuclear war could break out between nations because an
attack from an extraterrestrial craft could be mistaken for
something of this world, a UFO investigator said during a
lecture Saturday night.
Aliens have contacted mankind many times, possibly as far
back as 30,000 years ago, said Clark C. McClelland, a former
aerospace engineer. Many areas of the federal government are
trying to hide UFO information from the public and this
secrecy could have disastrous consequences, he said in the
Colloquy-sponsored speech
"Since people are being told UFOs don't exist, any retalitory
action by (UFOs) could be seen as from enemy action. This
could set off a chain reaction resulting in a disastrous nuclear
war. The nations of the earth owe it to themselves to commu
nicate all UFO experiences," he said.
:McClelland has been investigating UFOs for more than 33
years and said he does most of his investigating with associate
Leonard Stringfield. Together, they have researched many
cases of UFO encounters, including reports on physical contact
with alien beings.
In the course of their investigations, McClelland said they
have come across reports from many nations of a common type
of alien being. Many medical experts claim to have done
autopsies on these creatures, but the names of the doctors have
been kept secret.
One case in Dayton, Ohio, involved a doctor who says he
performed an autopsy on an alien during the early 19505,
McClelland said. After the autopsy, the being was taken to the
Wright-Patterson Air Force base near Dayton. McClelland said
many aliens and remnants of their spacecraft are no longer
there.
This recurring creature is humanoid, McClelland said. These
beings have colorless blood, a bone structure, are 3 1 / 2 to 4 feet
tall, and weigh only 40 pounds. They have pear-shaped heads,
Reagan may ask for gas
By MARTIN CRUTSINGER

-WASHINGTON (AP) President
Riagan meets with Republican congres
sional leaders this week to discuss speed
ing up the decontrol of natural gas
prices, an action consumer groups say
would add billions of.dollars to homeown
ers' bills.
Reagan's meeting with GOP leaders in
the House and Senate tomorrow is only
one indication that natural gas the
nation's most popular heating fuel is
on the verge of again becoming a major
national issue. .
The Senate Energy Committee has
also scheduled hearings Thursday and
Friday on natural gas decontrol. And two
contrasting studies on the issue were
released yesterday.
Since August, Reagan has had before
him a plan by his Cabinet Council on
Natural Resources for speeding up the
current timetable under which price con
trols are being lifted. But officials say
concerns over the budget and then the
Saudi Arabian arms sale put natural gas
on the back burner.
But administration sources, who ask
not to be identified by name, say the
president is likely to finally put the issue
before Congress soon after tomorrow's
strategy session.
In anticipation of the battle opening,
two groups on opposite sides of the de
bate issued new reports yesterday on the
effects of decontrol.
The Citizen-Labor Energy Coalition
predicted that U.S. farmers would face
$1.54 billion in increased production costs
in 1982 because of accelerated decontrol,
primarily through higher costs for ferti
lizers.
The . study predicted a price for nitro
gen fertilizers of $275 a ton in 1982 under
the current decontrol schedule, but said
that amount would be $lOO more under a
speed-up in decontrol. By 1984, the price
difference would be $230 and fertilizer
long arms and hands with four slightly webbed fingers, he said.
Their skin color is beige, tan, brown or bluish-grey, and scaly
like a reptile, he said. Some of the skin tissues that have been
collected were more than 200 years old, he said.
The brain capacity of these creatures is unknown because a
neurological expert was not consulted in many cases, he said.
The faces of these creatures appear oriental or mongoloid
looking, he said. The eyes are black, almond-shaped and do not
have pupils. The only openings in the beings are small slits for
the nose, mouth and ears, he said.
These creatures were often discovered wearing a silvery,
one-piece garment that left only the head exposed, he said.
McClelland displayed a mannequin of the creature during his
lecture.
McClelland's lecture also included slides of what experts say
are authentic UFO photographs. He also recounted past and
recent UFO experiences. During World War 11, UFOs that
looked like balls of light followed pilots in flight.
A Florida Air Force technician reported a more recent case
where a• Soviet MiG-21 jet and a Cuban pilot were destroyed by
a UFO, he said. The technician watched as the Cuban pilot fired
upon the craft and then was destroyed by the UFO, he said. The
Air Force in one of its manuals reports its pilots have fired upon
UFOs, he said.
"We better not fire on anything something that is obviously
superior, especially something that could obliterate a MiG-21,"
he said.
McClelland referrred to some famous cases that document
aircraft possibly being abducted by UFOs, a siege of lights
upon Washington, many sightings in New Mexico, the UFO
recollections of many astronauts and some former presidents.
Former presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter had UFO
experiences before becoming president, he said.• Carter wit
nessed a UFO sighting in 1973 while he was governor of
Georgia.
decontrol
would be selling for almost triple current
prices, the study said.
"Thousands of American farmers
would stare the spectre of bankruptcy in
the eye if they were forced to absorb the
devastating price increases predicted in
the study," said Robert J. Mullins, legis
lative affairs director for the National
Farmers Union.
• The Citizen-Labor Energy Coalition, a
group of 200 union, consumer and farm
groups, in earlier studies has predicted
that accelerated decontrol will double
homeowners' bills, increase inflation by
2 to 3 percent a year and result in the loss
of 3.4 million jobs between 1982 and 1985.
However, the Northeast Coalition for
Energy Equity, representing heating oil
marketers in nine northeastern states,
said in a study released yesterday that
the federal government , could increase
revenues by as much as $49 billion over
the next four years by completely decon
trolling natural gas in 1982.
Next president must understand
large universities, Oswald says
By BRIAN E. BOWERS
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
University President John W. Oswald's successor should
have a background that permits an understanding of the
operations of a large university, Oswald said' during a
radio talk show last night
"Well, I think a person, first of all, must be an individual
that has participated in scholarship and in teaching, a
person who thoroughly understands the kind of environ
ment a university has to have in order for good teaching
and good scholarship to go on," Oswald said during Two
Way Radio, a bi-weekly interview and listener partici
pation radio show presented by WDFII4.
"At the same time, this individual must be a person who
can communicate well with all the many different constitu
ents with which the president must deal," he said. "Often
it is said of a president that he or she must be a jack-of-all
trades,' one who thoroughly understands what a university
is all about and at the same time is able to work with the
people in making it a good university.
"I firmly believe Penn State is a strong university and
I'm sure the trustees will put that as their highest goal of
somebody who will keep it that way," Oswald said.
The successor must strive to maintain and improve the
University's quality and must maintain and increase Its
flexibility, he said.
Oswald said that President Reagan's budget cuts may
prevent some students from middle class families from
attending the University.
"I don't see fewer students, but I see a change in the
mix," he said.
If the next 12 . percent cut passes, some predictions say

there could be a reduction of as many as 750,000 students
attending colleges and universities, Oswald said.
"I have no way of knowing how many of those would be
(from) Penn State, but some of them would be," he said.
"We are working very hard now in Washington to try to
keep these next set of cuts from occurring," Oswald said.
Oswald was asked how the mission of the University, to
provide a post-secondary education for the citizens of the
state, would change if fewer middle class students could
afford to come.
"There will be a number of students who can not come to
college that are perfectly able and would gain and benefit
from college, and this is an institution that was set up
originally to serve the sons and the daughters of the
working man, and it's very difficult to serve totally that
Mission when the student aid is cut in such a way to hurt
the middle class student," Oswald said.
The priorities of the family may attect tne stuumis
education more, he said. Some families may have to give
up the idea of buying a new car in exchange for their
child's education.
Also, Oswald was asked if he foresaw any problem with
the Block 45 scheduling system for the change to semes
ters, and if the plan for Block 45 was "set in concrete."
"To show you that it is not set in concrete I have never
even seen what was in the Collegian the other day,".
Oswald said. "The first time I saw it was in the cartoon
making sport of it in the Collegian.
"There is now a committee that is very active in working
on different models and different approaches," he said.
