Ryan, Keeseville, N.Y., who was firing at another MIG ahead. Ryan swerved his plane. The pursuing MIG's 20 mm cannon fire tore into the Russian-made jet ahead, blowing it up and finishing the job Ryan started. It was Ryan's second kill of the day.

It added: Fly in Formation "The man made saucers" occasionally fly in formation. Moreover, they are believed to have substance enough to show up on the screen of a radar designed to track them." What the experimenters did, the Star said, was use the vacuum bell as a tiny working model of the stratosphere and reproduce "two forces—very low air pressure which is balanced against static electricity in a way to give off light."

That date, 2 p.m., was set yesterday and Chairman Willis H. Warner asked the press to publicize the hearing so that ranchers and other residents of the rural areas, where the setback applies, can be heard if they wish. The board was scheduled to consider an amendment to the building code yesterday, but one member, Willard Smith of Orange, was absent, and few people were on hand at the meeting. So the Aug. 12 hearing date was set. The 200-foot setback was designed to permit ranchers to erect their own buildings according to their own standards. But most of such buildings, in increasing numbers, are low-standard houses built for sale, and shanty-type buildings moved in from Los Angeles county, and then sold. After they are located, the buyers then request the supervisor to construct roads to the tracts, on right of way donated for the purpose.

Child Prodigy Studies Radionics; Reads Encyclopedias for Relaxation TUJUNGA, Calif. (P)—Leonard Ross' parents are trying hard to make him believe he's just like other youngsters, but it isn't easy. How many 8-year-olds are studying radio engineering? Or like to read encyclopedias and almanac? Or can add fractions in their heads? Or can memorize the names of the kings of England and presidents of the United States just for fun? Lenny attracted considerable attention when he recently passed two stiff Federal Communications commission examinations, one for a novice radio operator's license and the other for a commercial radio operator's certifi- A prodigy? Lenny's mother, a court reporter, tries to scoff at the idea. But she admits that her slender son with the big bright eyes has been reading since he was three. He's used an electric typewriter, adding machine and an office calculator for three years. "He has a photographic mind," she smiled. "He gets much of his love of mathematics from his father, who heads an accounting firm." Lenny will be in the second half of the third grade this fall. He skipped a half year and his teachers wanted to skip more. WASHINGTON (UP)—The House said today Gov. Stevenson of Illinois, the cratic presidential nominee attend a Cabinet meeting next Tuesday.

Fiance Sought by Santa Ana Police An ex-sailor suspected of stealing from his fiancée's home while a guest here, was sought by Santa Ana police today on complaint of the girl's father, Claud G.
