I DID. KEYHOE'S APPARENT REACTION TO THE EXPERIENCES AND SIGHTINGS BY SUCH ORDINARY CITIZENS AS SCULLY'S MAGNETIC SCIENTIEST, SILAS NEWTON, BY GEORGE ADAMSKI, BY THE FLORIDA SCOUT LEADER DESVERGERS AND BY THE •KIQS WHO STUMBLED ON TO A LANDED SAUCER ONE TWILIGHT EVENING NEAR SUTTON, WEST VIRGINIA, INDICATES THAT HE HAS STRONG, PRE-CONCEIVED IDEAS OF WHAT THE PILOTS OF FLYING SAUCERS SHOULD LOOK LIKE.

ALL OF WHICH GOES TO PROVE THAT KEYHOE, THE STRONGEST PUBLIC PROTAG- ONIST OF THE OUTER SPACE ORIGIN OF THE SAUCERS, IS REALLY NOT PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE REVOLUTIONARY IDEAS WHICH THAT ORIGIN IMPLIES. HE DIS- PLAYS A VERY HUMAN TENDENCY TO WANT TO STICK TO THE COMFORTABLY ORTHO- DOX SIGHTINGS OF TRAINED OBSERVERS, BACKED UP BY SUCH MECHANICAL DEVICES AS RADAR SCOPES, TENESCOPES, THEODOLITES AND GRID CAMERAS.

KEYHOE HAS PLENTY OF SUCH SIGHTINGS TO *REPORT, MORE THAN ENOUGH TO CONVINCE ALL BUT THE MOST SCEPTICAL THAT THE SAUCERS ARE PHYSICAL OBJECTS INTELLIGENTLY CONTROLLED IN MANEUVERS OF FANTASTIC SPEED AND RANGE.

IT WILL COME AS A SURPRISE TO THE READERS OF HIS BOOK THAT THE AIR FORCE OPENED ITS FLYING SAUCER FILES TO HIM AND LET HIM DRAW AS MUCH DATA FROM THEM AS HE PLEASED-ALMOST. FURTHERMORE, THE AVAILABILITY OF THE AIR FORCE REPORTS IS APPARENTLY NOT LIMITED TO KEYHOE.

FOR ON PAGE 226 OF HIS RECENT BOOK "FLYING SAUCERS HAVE LANDED," GEORGE ADAMSKI WRITES, ". . . THE AIR FORCE WILL MAKE PUBLIC THEIR FULL REPORT ON ANY SPECIFIC SAUCER CASE TO ANY INDIVIDUAL WHO WILL WRITE REQUESTING SUCH A REPORT AND ADDRESSING IT TO THE PROPER INFOR- MATION DEPARTMENT."

THIS STARTLING PIECE OF NEWS, SO ADAMSKI SAYS, WAS GIVEN BY ALBERT M. CHOP, OF THE AIR FORCE PRESS DESK, THE PENTAGON, ON JUNE 1, 1953:

I WONDER IF THE PUBLIC WILL TAKE THIS STATEMENT AT ITS FACE VALUE AFTER THE LONG PROGRAM OF INSULT, HUMILIATION, DISCREDIT AND ABUSE DIRECTED AT THOSE WHO SINCERELY REPORTED WHAT THEY SAW IN THE SKIES?

IN HONOLULU I HAVE FOUND A VERY SOLID CORE OF SCEPTICISM ABOUT FLYING SAUCERS AND ALL THAT PERTAINS TO THEM, AND THIS SEEMS DIRECTLY ATTRI- BUTABLE TO THE AIR FORCE'S FLYING SAUCER RJBLIC RELATIONS PROGRAM FROM "1947 ONWARD.

This must have been seems to have made no attempt at sen- due in a measure to the fact that only adepts—olohe—those of the most fin- ished skill in the art of the hula, took part in its presentation. It was a hula of gentle, gracious action, acted and sung while the performers kept a sit- ting position, and was without instru- mental accompaniment. The fact that this hula was among the number chos- en for presentation before the king (Kamehameha III) while on a tour of Oahu in the year 1846 or 1847 is em- phatic testimony as to the esteem in which it was held by the Hawaiians themselves. The mele that accompanied this hula when performed for the king's enter- tainmer.t at Waimanalo is given here in both Hawaiian and English.

This was a season when the peoples rest- ed from unnecessary labor and de- voted themselves to festivals, games, and special religious observances. Al- lusion is made to this avoidance of toil in the words Li'ili'i ka hana (verse 11). One cannot fail to perceive a vein of gentle sarcasm cropping up in this idyl, softened, however, by a spirit of honest good feeling.

Again while the multitude that fol- lows the king is compared to the raven- ous man-eating Niuhi (verse 19) the final remark as to the rarity of the king's visits, He loa o ka hiki'na (verse 21), may be taken not only as a salve to atone for the satire, but as a sly self-gratulation that the affliction is not to be soon repeated.

Linda was ready now. She was free. Last week her mother's ashes had been buried near the Pacific, fit resting place for a woman of Polynesian blood. The low bed across from Linda's stood empty. She felt alone in the house and she could do what she'd known she must. It was the only way. She adjusted the red pegs in her small electric clock so the radio would tune in between eight and nine. A sympho- ny program was due then. She couldn't have asked for anything better. She'd be able to hear it all right through the open window, for Gino's place wasn't far. Like a sleepwalker, Linda went over to her dressing table for a last glance into the mirror. Wanting to look her best, she ran a comb through her short, wavy hair. Not much gray among the black yet; she could still be called young by the middle-aged. Dark eyes stared back at her with a strange, ques- tioning expression that made her flesh A creep. Was she really going- through with this ? Was she sure ? Sighing tremulously, Linda looked down at Gino's picture in the koa frame. Yes, its what she wanted. She'd find happiness at last and this way it wouldn't be hard. It wouldn't take much courage the way she'd planned the thing. Linda traced the sweet lines of her mouth with lipstick, a modest rose. Then she sprayed her hair and garments with Amber Royale, an old- fashioned fragrance Gino had loved.

In 1925 the founder of Mid-Pacific Magazine, Alexander Hume Ford, stole PAN-PACIFIC UNION precious moments from his busy life as Director of the Pan-Pacific Union, to look back down the years to his arrival By Alexander Hume Ford in the Islands and his early attempts to promote friendship, underitanding and cooperation among the racial groups living in Hawaii. The follow- ing is taken from the October, 1925 issue of Mid-Pacific Magazine.—Ed.

HE Outrigger Canoe Club was and is a unique institution, the T only club in the world composed mainly of those who ride the surf- board. When I arrived in Honolulu in 1907 the sport of surfriding had died down until there were scarcely a half dozen white boys and a few natives who still practiced this unique Hawaiian kind of sport. I had come to Honolulu for a two weeks' visit. The thrill of surfboard riding enraptured me and I remained week after week, month after month, spending hours daily in the surf near the outer reef wrestling with my surf- board. In those days the board was a bit of pointed plank, six feet long, eighteen inches to two feet wide, and an inch to two in thickness. These bits of plane would not support the surfer in still water, but once the wave was caught such was the force that even these comparatively tiny boards would support two or even more riders at one time. Then came the malahini (new corner) and he desired easy sport. The boards grew larger and larger until today they are nine feet in length, three inches thick and two to three feet in width. A man might stand on one of these boards and it would bear him up.
