Radar Shows Air Over Nation’s Capital Full of Flying Objects By VERN HAUGLAND WASHINGTON (AP) — Radar showed the air over the nation’s capital was full of flying objects early today, but an airliner directing one of the radar sightings could not find a thing. The Civil Aeronautics Administration radar at Washington National Airport, which reported scores of sightings, refrained from transmitting its finding to the Air Force at nearby Andrews Field because “no visual sightings were made.” Jets Not Alerted The Air Force said its Andrews Field radar showed nothing, and its 24-hour jet-interceptor patrol remained on the ground because it was not notified of the National Airport sightings. Meanwhile, the Air Force announced it had brought some of its “flying saucer” experts from Wright-Patterson Field, Dayton, O., for a news conference at 1 p.m. PDT. A CAA spokesman said the latest sightings showed as many as 12 unidentified objects on the radar screen at one time. Objects Described They appeared to be traveling from 90 to 120 miles an hour in a 15-mile-long area between Andrews Field and Herndon, Va. They were moving from the northwest to the southeast, roughly at an angle of 60 degrees from the prevailing wind. About 1 a.m., an Eastern Airlines southbound flight was directed into the area but its crew Mental Tests Set For Broughton Mental tests will be performed on Pfc. Roy Clifford Broughton, 18-year-old marine, charged with the murder of Richard Grimsley, Los Angeles taxi driver, before Superior Judge Franklin G. West determines whether he shall remain in juvenile court or be sent back to the adult criminal court to face prosecution. Judge West today appointed Dr. Harold Day, Santa Ana psychiatrist, to examine Broughton and report back to the court on his mental condition. Broughton’s juvenile court hearing was continued to Aug. 5 to await the psychiatrist’s report. Broughton, formerly at El Toro when Grimsley was slain last March 7, and later transferred to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, where he was arrested, is said to have confessed killing Grimsley without reason, after riding the taxi from Los Angeles to Santa Ana. Weather Southern California—Variable high cloudiness tonight and Wednesday. Few widely scattered afternoon and evening thundershowers over mountains and interior regions. Variable night and early morning fog and low clouds along coast. Little included Gov. Warren, Lt. Gov Knight, Rep. Pat Hillings, and many others. Scores of other Anaheimers were among the milking thousands. Televised and photographed from every angle, Nixon swept into the stadium riding in an open convertible to wave greetings to the roaring crowd. Brief Speech Once on the colorfully decorated speaker’s stand, Nixon, in brief address, promised “prosperity built on peace rather than war.” The Republican vice president nominee told a crowd of more than 5000 at a reception in Whitier college stadium he is confident Gen. Dwight Eisenhower “can furnish the leadership America needs to insure victory without war.” Nixon read a letter from Mr. David Sanders of Oakland, Calif., 19-year-old wife of a corpsman in Korea. She sent a campaign contribution of $10, which Nixon said was the first he had received. Letter Read Mrs. Sanders wrote: “Now anxious I am to have this so-called ‘police action’ in Korea ended,” and said she was “confident with great Americans like you and Gen. Eisenhower in the White House, lonely Americans like my self will be united with their loved ones now in Korea. I only pray to God that you won’t be too late.” Nixon said the letter presented the challenge of the campaign because Mrs. Sanders was asking like millions of other Americans “isn’t it possible to have prosperity built on peace rather than war.” The address was followed by an orgy of handshaking as patient admirers stood in line for nearly three hours to personally shake the hand of the handsome Californians senator. Vandals Active In Santa Ana Vandals were active in Santa Ana Objects Described They appeared to be traveling from 90 to 120 miles an hour in a 15-mile-long area between Andrews Field and Herndon, Va. They were moving from the northwest to the southeast, roughly at an angle of 60 degrees from the prevailing wind. About 1 a.m., an Eastern Airlines southbound flight was directed into the area but its crew saw nothing in the sky. The altitude of the sightings was not determined because the radar screen at National does not give an altitude indication. The radar sightings made today were the third within two weeks. The previous sightings, including some visual observations, were on the two previous Saturday nights. Weather Southern California—Variable high cloudiness tonight and Wednesday. Few widely scattered afternoon and evening thundershowers over mountains and interior regions. Variable night and early morning fog and low clouds along coast. Little change in temperature.

Allies Hurl Back New Assaults On Rain-Drenched 'Old Baldy' SEOUL, Korea (AP) — Allied troops clinging to the southeast slope of Old Baldy hurled back a Chinese communist attack today in torrential rains that drenched the muddy Korean battlefront for the fourth straight day. A reinforced communist platoon hit the U. N. line in an apparent effort to win complete control of the strategic Western Front hill. The attack was beaten off in a bloody two-hour battle during which 25 reds were killed and 30 wounded, the Eighth Army said. It was the first clash of any size since heavy rains closed in on the 155-mile battlefront Saturday. Already 6½ inches of rain have fallen on the Western Front, Asociated Press Correspondent Milo Farneti said. He said some soggy bunkers caved in and roads generally were in bad shape. Fighting for Old Baldy began July 17. The Chinese gained the crest of the hill a week ago after it had changed hands several times. In another action Monday night and Tuesday morning a small Chinese unit probed Allied positions near T-Bone Hill, east of Old Baldy. The Chinese were driven off after four hours and 45 minutes of sporadic fighting, the Army said. Elsewhere on the front, only scattered patrol clashes were reported. Vandals Active In Santa Ana Vandals were active in Santa Ana last night, and two automobiles suffered serious damage from their attentions, police there reported today. The convertible owned by Lleut Walter H. Robbins, U.S. Marine corps, of 1145 S. Birch st., Santa Ana, was parked in the 300 block of Russell st., during the late afternoon, when someone slashed the cloth top to ribbons. The $85 damage was covered by insurance, he told police. Peter Acuna, 1110 E. Second st., Santa Ana, was not so fortunate. Acid was thrown over the top of his parked car and spilled down over the hood and turtle back, destroying the paint. He will have to pay for the new paint job as his insurance policy didn't cover such damage, he learned. His car also was damaged during the late afternoon. Thieves stole a spare tire and wheel, valued at $30, from the parked car of John J. Miller, 1327 N. Flower st., while the car was parked in the 700 block of Lacy st.

J. Smith late yesterday, carrying signatures of 750 property owners in the area proposed for incorporation. Proponents said that that property represented on the petitions filed by Mrs. C. R. McPherson, secretary of Buena Park chamber of commerce; Frank O'Brien, member of the committee for Incorporation, and Attorney Warren J. Ferguson, was well in ex- cess of the $1,400,000 assessed valuation required to equal 25 per cent of the total valuation of the area. The total valuation is approximately $5,500,000. Ferguson explained that the first step following the filing of the petitions will be their submission to the county supervisors, who will order a check made of the property represented on the petitions to ascertain whether it equals 25 per cent of the total. The supervisors then would set a public hearing on the proposal, at which property owners wishing to have their property excluded from the proposed city could file their protests.

BAKERSFIELD. (UP) — Three sharp afterquakes of the damaging July 21 temblor jarred Southern California today. They centered here, causing the evacuation of 50 patients from a hospital and hundreds of jittery residents from their homes. New earthslides partially blocked one highway and theatened the vital Friant-Kern canal. One home was destroyed by a fire touched off when a quake broke a gas line. Several buildings here suffered new damage, including Kern general hospital. The new jolts occurred at 12:05 a.m., PDT, 1:02 a.m., and 8:49 a.m. They were the heaviest since the July 21 quake, which cost 13 lives and severely damaged the towns and Tehachapi and Arvin. Same Fault Slips The latest tremors were felt as far south as the Los Angeles area. No new damage was reported at Tehachapi or Arvin, although seismologists said the quakes were caused by new slippage of the Bear mountain fault, epicenters of the July 21 temblor.

Robinson Jr., 19, son of noted actor, finally got under way today in Superior Judge Robert Gardener’s court in Santa Ana. Robinson is charged with passing two no-fund checks last Feb. 23, one of them for $119.48 to U. J. Ledger, Anaheim garage attendant. Attorneys for prosecution and defense today were engaged with selection of a jury to hear the case. Robinson’s father was an interested spectator of proceedings in the courtroom. At the time of the check-passing, father and son were estranged because the youth had married an actress without parental consent. The fact that he had cut off his son’s allowance of $70 a week was said to have been the cause of the towns and Tehachapi and Arvin Same Fault Slips The latest tremors were felt as far south as the Los Angeles area. No new damage was reported at Tehachapi or Arvin, although scientists said the quakes were caused by new slippage of the Bear mountain fault, epicenters of the July 21 temblor. Scientists said the magnitude of the first two quakes today were 6½ and 5¼, respectively, compared with 7½ July 21 and 8.6 for the greatest quake ever recorded at Asam in the Himalayas mountains in 1950. Southern California has been jolted by afterquakes every day for more than a week. Police said residents here are increasingly nervous. Hundreds of families spent most of the hot, humid night on cots and blankets in their yards. Ranchers reported many transient farm workers and their families needed to save the rich cotton harvest, have left the southern San Joaquin valley because of the uneasy earth. Today’s quakes opened new cracks in some one story brick buildings of Kern general hospital, causing the evacuation of 50 patients.

She launched a row at Mongillo, which he dodged, and both men then fled from the store. Krossen, who witnessed the incident, pursued and overtook Mongillo some distance from the market. Mongillo was alleged to have drawn a knife and threatened Krossen. The assault charge was based on the display of the weapon. Citrus Market California oranges were about ready.

NAPLES, Italy (F) — Exiled King Farouk I of Egypt, down to his last yacht, pulled into Naples today to stay for a few days on the romantic Isle of Capri while he thinks about taking off for the United States. The Egyptian Navy crew manning the $4,000,000 Mahroussa, which brought Farouk here, is under orders to bring the luxurious ship back to Egypt. Then Farouk will be limited to a privately-owned racing yacht, which is anchored at Capri. It is too small for long luxury cruises. Farouk, who abdicated his throne last weekend, arrived shortly after noon aboard the royal yacht with his queen, the beauteous Narriman, and their baby—the new seven-month-old King, Fuad II. Farouk’s travel agent said Narriman and the baby king were “in the best of health.” Aboard the yacht are some 204 trunks the deposed Monarch was able to take with him on his hasty departure from Alexandria. If Farouk goes to the United States, he may decide to travel by plane, the agent said. It is possible he will go to Rome first.
