~ , J See by the Fapers ... QUOTE OF THE MONTH I have decided I do not want my name released. I have grants here for research which I do not want to jeopardize should some prejudiced person make an issue out of this sighting ...I feel I can’t take the chance... — Dr. Blank of Blank University ANOTHER SAUCER FLAP YPICAL OF the attitude of many UFO witnesses is the one quoted above taken from a letter describing a sighting which was re- ceived by Prof. Charles A. Maney of the Defiance College, Defiance, Ohio. Dr. Blank is in the science de- partment of Blank University in Ohio. He observed an unusual fly- ing object from his automobile, pulled over to the side of the road, and with a companion watched an egg-shaped object, estimated at about 100 feet in diameter and no more than 1200 to 1500 feet dis- tant. It had curved edges and ap- peared to be a bright chalk-white on top with a narrow band of shad- ow at the bottom. It was moving at moderate speed with no noise and had no protuber- ances or markings. It described an By Curtis Fuller arc and was in view for five min- utes. The scientist who witnessed the phenomenon made a special trip to Defiance to confer with Professor Maney, who urged him to make his observations public. But after think- ing it over he wrote the letter ask- ing for secrecy. And that, dear reader, is where our “quote of the month” came from on this par- ticular day of truth and enlighten- ment, CoO THE DEFIANCE SIGHTING pOeeNaree many UFO witnesses feel no such pressure. One of these is Professor Maney

himself, a board member of NICAP, who was witness to a UFO sighting on May 20. Actually there were two sightings of what was probably the same object, one between 8:00 and 8:30 P.M. and the second between 8:30 and 9:00 P.M. It was first seen by Quincy L. Dray, Jr., of Lima, Ohio, who sight- ed a round object moving west and south at a low altitude.- It was a fiery blue changing to a brilliant yellow. It moved erratically, seem- ing to dip or back up and then start forward. The second sighting, witnessed by Professor Maney and six other per- sons, lasted some 30 minutes, There were both jet and propeller-driven craft in the air at the same time, their flashing lights contrasting dis- tinctly with the fiery light from the UFO. In evaluating his observation for the Defiance Crescent-News, Pro-' ‘fessor Maney commented partic- ularly about the brilliant color and the color changes; the hovering characteristics with sudden changes of speed; the round shape. Even so, he stated that “this sighting, though interesting in some respects, does not give suffcient de- tail to classify it clearly as non- recognizable phenomenon.” As a scientist, Professor Maney is a cautious man but not a timid one. oO SAUCERS IN MAY aE APPEAR actually to have been two world-wide UFO — Ex “flaps” in May and June. In the — latter part of May an Irish Inter- national Airlines Viscount airliner was flying from Cork to Brussels when a strange, globe-shaped ob- ject streaked beneath it late on the afternoon of May 21. The Viscount was around 17,000 feet approx- imately 35 miles southeast of Bris- tol and Capt. Gordon Pendleton a FATE estimated the UFO was about 3,000 feet below him. This is an unusual sighting be- cause it is one of the few where UFOs are seen at a lower level alti- tude than the sighting aircraft. Captain Pendleton first saw the ob- = ject “streaking towards us at about 500 miles an hour. It was brown in color and smaller than the Vis- count ... It was not a balloon.” Pendleton’s co-pilot saw it also and both agreed it appeared to be a large orb with irregular antenna- like protrusions. A few days later, on May 24, an official Argentine television station, with the assistance of the Air Force, told the story of a woman rancher who saw a flying saucer at close quarters and was taken to the hos- pital suffering with shock. The woman’s name was not disclosed — but she was reported to have seen two strange men “resembling ro- — bots” near the unidentified object.

I SEE BY THE PAPERS The TV report stated that grass in the area where the object supposed- ly landed was singed in a circle 18 feet across. On May 25, two Bethlehem, Pa., policemen saw a dazzling object in the northwest sky just before dawn. It was a bright blue-green streak, changing to a brilliant white as it shot across the skies and descended toward the north. John Holzinger, Bethlehem police captain and an Air Force reserve major, called it “the brightest object I have ever seen in the heavens.” This sighting might. be written off as a meteor if by coincidence an unidentified stationary light had not been observed in the same area eatlier in the evening. CO JUNE FLAP O* JUNE 15, a bright green, rocket-like object flashed across the skies over Prince of Wales - Island, Australia, and the following night four fisherman at Karumba Lodge in the Gulf of Carpentaria reported seeing a greenish-red light cross the sky. By June 18, a total of seven unidentified flying objects had been reported over Australia, ranging from a green ball giving off a 30-foot-wide green glow on the ground to a greenish streak and, finally, to reports of a silvery-white object spotted on a hillside on Prince of Wales Island by searchers. DOOMED BY YOUR MEMORY? A NOTED publisher in Chicago reports there is a simple tech- nique for acquiring a powerful memory which can pay you real dividends in both business and social advancement and works like magic to give you added poise, necessary self-confidence and greater popu- larity. According to this publisher, many people do not realize how much they could influence others simply by remembering accurately every- thing they see, hear, or read. Whe- ther in business, .at social functions or even in casual conversations with new acquaintances, there are ways in which you can dominate each sit- uation by your ability to remember. To acquaint the readers of FATE Magazine with the easy-to-follow rules for developing skill in remem- bering names, places, figures, dates, business transactions, or even pas- sages of literary content, the pub- lishers have printed full details of their interesting self-training meth- od in anew book, “Adventures in Memory,” which will be mailed free to anyone who requests it.

Io Meanwhile at Desert Hot Springs, Calif., a UFO was sighted at noon Monday, June 18, according to the Indio Sheriff substation. Byron Crawford, a nurse at Angel View Crippled Children’s Hospital, was looking out. the dining room window at the Hospital when he saw a fan- tastic sight. ~ ~ “Tt was a red and silver object about the size of a one-bedroom house,” Crawford said. “It was traveling end over end, tumbling, and traveling from south to north. It remained in sight about five min- utes.” Several other employees of the hospital saw it, and some of the child patients saw it. After “hang- ing around” the area for a while, the object went off in the direction of Twentynine Palms. At 1:17 A.M. Tuesday, June 26, Jack Reiley, Russell Mackie, Karen De Noto, Diana Jensen and Ken- dra Mott of Beloit, Wis., were in the 1700 block on Arlington Ave., when they saw an aerial object moving from side to side heading in a south- west to northeast direction. Of- ficials at Truax Field, Madison, confirmed the report but later “failed to offer further information” according to the Beloit Daily News. The object was observed the three nights following and watching it be- came quite a fad. On the night of June 28, two objects were spotted in the sky at the same time. Truax Field thought at least one of them FATE might be Echo I. Other persons were sure it was a weather balloon, oS) CASE OF THE SPEEDY SUBMARINE Hes THE kind of mystery that has turned up several times in recent years. The report just reached us although the inci- dent occurred Tuesday, November 14, 1961. -_ Australian and New Zealand war- ships were conducting Navy. exer- cises off Sydney Heads when they detected and pursued a large under-. water object that interrupted the maneuvers. There was no visual sighting of the object but Senator Gorton, the Minister for the Navy, said it could have been an ocean-going submar- ine. If so, “the speed and ease with which the mystery craft eluded the fleet suggests it was nuclear-pow- ered,” the Sydney Sun stated. But suppose it wasn’t a nuclear- powered submarine? All the Navy would say officially is that it was an ‘“nidentified object”. Contact was soon lost. Neither U.S. nor British submarines were in the area at the time. io 2) | BORN SKEPTIC IM BISHOP, whose syndicated column appears in many news- papers, is a fascinating writer even though he recently wrote that he

=i finds it impossible to believe in the reality of mental telepathy, clairvoyance, spiritualism and ex- trasensory perception of all kinds. In a recent skeptical column Bishop states he is not impressed with the findings at Duke Univer- sity. Yet in the same column he says, “T know of three events, rare and mystifying, which are beyond any rationale.” One typical incident he men- tions involved Edgar Cayce who, from Virginia Beach, Va., des- scribed a certain drugstore in New Orleans where a medicine existed that could save a dying woman. From New Orleans they phoned Cayce that no such medicine was in stock and Cayce told them to look on the second shelf behind the prescription counter on the left side. They did. There was the med- icine! Yet Edgar Cayce never had ~ been in New Orleans. The two other incidents Bishop lists involved psychic experiences of his father. They both were as- sociated with premonitory symbols of death and both were veridical (although Bishop does not call them that). Despite these incidents, Jim Bishop remains a skeptic. The human mind is a strange and won- derful thing which accepts and re- jects without rational reason and forgets what it wishes to forget. ee ee FATE — We wish to remind Jim Bishop of one more psychic experience he knows because he himself was in-— volved in it. It concerns his wife Elinor and their two wedding rings. Both rings disappeared mysterious- ly at the time of her death. Hers later turned up in a box that had been searched a dozen times. Two years, almost to the day, after her death Mr. Bishop was undressing one night and looked on the top of the tray where he placed his cuff links. There was his wedding ring. oO THE CAT WAS SPOOKED ORA SESSIONS LEE tells 4“— this story in the Arizona Re- public. She says her husband, the late Richard H. Lee, was a great lover of cats and owned a big black tom of whom he was specially fond. When the Lees were living in Prescott Mr. Lee went to Phoenix on a visit and was killed by an automobile. The message of his death reached Mrs. Lee around midnight. The next morning the tom cat acted strangely. He seemed to be highly excited. He would not en- ter the house nor allow Mrs. Lee to approach him. “When I went out and offered him food,” Mrs. Lee writes, “he climbed the stone wall.back of the house in a perfect panic.” Although the cat stayed in the
Page 13
I SEE BY THE PAPERS neighborhood he never returned to the home. Occasionally Mrs. Lee would catch a glimpse of him perched on a stone wall watching the house curiously. If she opened the door or made any advance to- ward him he ran away. Mrs. Lee says by way of ex- planation. “It is my firm belief that on his way to wherever it is that the spirit dwells, Dick came by his home. To me, of course, that means that he did not perish.” iS CO SOMEBODY HAD A WRECK ULIAN SCHEER tells about the personal experience of a colleague in the June 14 issue of the Charlotte, N.C., News. At 1:00 A.M. on Sunday, June 10, Howard Wheeler of the Jefferson- Standard broadcasting staff was preparing to go to bed. He was on his knees saying his nightly pray- ers when he heard the sound of an auto crash. His wife Pat heard nothing, but he said to her, “Some- body had a wreck. I’ll be back in a minute.” Wheeler stated later that what he heard didn’t sound like a nor- mal auto crash with the squeal of brakes but more like the coupling of two freight cars far off in the distance. Where was the accident? There were half a dozen streets Wheeler could have taken in his search but 13 Metaphysical © Self+Help Occult ® Inspirational FRE — BOOK LIST ON REQUEST — DeVORSS & CO. 516 W. 9th St., Los Angeles 15, Calif.

FM, Box 3038 San Bernardino, California FATE he chose, for unexplained reasons, to drive down Park Road, to turn left at Woodlawn, and to proceed down to the shrimp boat at the foot of the hill. Then he got the notion he ought to turn back and he drove right on Montford Dr. “We went about 200 yards on Montford, around a curve, and there he saw a car smashed against a telephone pole.” Wrote Sheer. “The impact had driven the motor back into the car. There didn’t seem to be anyone there. But Wheeler got out, went to the wreck and looked. A voice said, ‘Help me, Humpy.’” “Humpy” is Wheeler’s nickname. In the wreck was Joe Funder- burke, a senior at East Mecklen- burg high school and an old ac- quaintance of Wheeler’s. His face was bleeding, his left arm was twisted and swelling. Wheeler rushed him to Mercy hospital where Joe was operated on that night and his left arm was saved. Coincidence? Hardly. Thousands of persons live closer to the wreck than Humpy Wheeler yet not one appeared on the scene. The first the police knew of it was when Wheeler reported it about 45 min- utes later, after taking Funder- burke to the hospital — although usually dozens of persons gather at a wreck, even at 1:00 A.M. io 2)

I SEE BY THE PAPERS “WITCHCRAFT By) PECHERAET is very much in the news these days which means that it is still very much in the lives of people. Two years ago Salvatore Valenti was released after completing a prison sentence for trying to mur- der a woman he called a witch. He had attempted to kill Caterina di Paola in 1952 because he be- lieved she was trying to bewitch him for refusing to marry her many years before. At that time he shot her and she recovered only after months in the hospital. When Valenti got out of prison he painted the door of his house in Flavia, Sicily, with good luck charms which he hoped would keep the “evil eye” away from him. They didn’t work. Valenti, now 55, believed that Caterina, 70, still pur- sued him to work vengeance and on June 16 he hacked her to death with a sickle. * Ok Ox Witchcraft is alive in Germany, too. In Hesse, 26-year-old Johann Vogel set fire to the cottage of Elisabeth Hahn, 64, in the village of Mailach, because he believed she had cast a spell on him.

We can exchange ideas, we can challenge old ones, we can devise new ones without fear of being clapped in a dun- geon or ostracized as a heretic. Here knowledge and research is the recognized realm of activity of every person. That is why we have published the magazine called SEARCH, which we first introduced in November, 1953. The articles in SEARCH are thought-provoking, challenging, typified by an upward-looking spirit of inquiry, ranging from the lowliest investigator, the child who asks “Mommy, where did | come from?”, to Dr. Rhine of Duke University, who is engaged in a scientific search for the soul! SEARCH asks many such ques- tions, and as the answers are forthcoming, brings them to its readers honestly, competently and accurately.

FATE and nails and the villagers said, “he must be a devil, for how would he know what a boat looks like. He’s never seen a real boat.” When two pigs in the pigsty died and a neighbor’s chickens became ill the villagers knew the child Kusy was a witch, and they took him out and drowned him three days before Easter with the permission of his parents. Kusy was 11 years old. The source of this story, for doubters, is Kurier Polski via Reu- ters, and this happened in A.D. 1962, a year of atomic. explosions and circling satellites. CO PSYCHIATRIC WITCHCRAFT N STRANGE contrast to this European savagery is the story of Dr. T. Abeoye Lambo, a native Nigerian educated in Britain and a trained psychiatrist and psy- choanalyst. Returning from England in 1954, Dr. Lambo found that the Western practices of mental treatment he had learned were unsuited to the needs of. primitive tribesmen. He stopped work ‘on a three million dollar, 1,000-bed mental health clinic and began experimenting with a “community system” of mental treatment. He also “pioneered” in pre- scribing animal sacrifices, rituals and dances for mentally ill Africans. In so doing he shed new light on

An anthropologist from Sacramento State College suggests they are a new species of civet or genet. A surprising thing, really, to have a new species turn up in a z00. In Munich, Germany, Dr. Heinz Heck of the Hellabrunn Zoo has succeeded in re-creating two extinct animals — the aurochs, which was the ancestor of all modern cattle, and the tarpan, the European wild horse which became extinct a cen- tury ago. First, with the aid of medieval drawings and descriptions, cave drawings, and skeletons, Dr. Heck constructed a model of what the aurochs, the last known one of which died in Poland in 1627, real- ly looked like. Then he selected types of existing cattle with special characteristics and carefully crossed them. He accentuated the desirable characteristics and eliminated the undesirable. At last a calf was born that was like the ancient aurochs. Today Dr. Hecks has a flourishing herd of these magnificent giant horned cattle. The same procedure was followed in re-creating the tarpan. And to- day there is a small herd of these grayish ponies with short, stiff erect manes and hoofs so hard they can travel unshod on a thousand miles of modern roads without suffering. Significantly, none of Dr. Heck’s herds produce any throwbacks.

Well, you can forget it, says Dr. Mason E. Hale, Jr., the lichen man of the Smithsonian Institution. Even if lichens could thrive on Mars they could not have developed there, Dr. Hale is sure. In fact, their development is probably rather complicated. Lich- ens differ from all other members of the plant world because each specimen is a partnership of two widely differing plant types — one a fungus, the other a minute green algae which is enclosed in it. oO ~~ LEIF ERICSON IN THE NEWS O DEMONSTRATION of the gradual unfolding of history and ancient days could be more typical—or exciting —than the growth of our knowledge about the Viking settlements of Greenland and America.

20 quarters of Lief Ericson, son of Eric the Red, during the period when Leif explored Vinland. Now we have more information about Ingstad’s discoveries. Ingstad came from Norway on a Norwegian ship, bringing along a 48-foot motor sailer. He and his wife and daughter sailed to the 7 northern tip. of Newfoundland in this boat, carefully checking the landmarks against descriptions in the old Viking sagas. And they asked questions as they went. Fishermen told Ingstad they long had been puzzled by the odd con- tours of the ground at a place called Lance-aux Meadows, an iso- lated area sometimes used by the fisherman but having no harbor. Ingstad went to the place and be- gan to dig. He reports that he found a struc- ture 60 feet long by 45 feet wide with five rooms and a great hall heated with five fireplaces. The walls were made of sod. It is not clear from the reports what it was roofed with. There were six other buildings, small and square. Although the ruins are not on a harbor, and are several miles from Meade Bay, Ingstad points out that the Vikings routinely hauled their boats up on open beaches. He has sent a variety of frag- “ments to the University of Oslo for carbon-14 testing. It is his belief the structures could not possibly . FATE; = have been made by Indians or = kimos. He also says he found iron nails, fragments of iron objects and what is probably iron slag. It is not clear from our account that these finds were made at Lance-aux Meadows. But Ingstad’s discoveries are not the only ones made last summer concerning Leif Ericson (they call- ed him “Leif the Lucky”). Dr. Jorgen Meldgaard of the Copen- hagen National museum has identi- fied the ruins of the first Chris- tian church built in the Western Hemisphere in South Greenland. Around the church, says Dr. Meld- gaard, is the probable grave of Leif Ericson. There are about 100 graves in the burial ground and these will be excavated next summer in an at- tempt to identify the particular grave of the great explorer. The church already has been identified as having been built by Leif’s moth- er Tjodhilde, in 1001 or 1002 A.D. Tjodhilde was a Christian although her husband, Eric the Red, who discovered Greenland in 981 was a heathen. When Leif Ericson died about 1025, as a Christian he was almost certainly buried in the newly found church graveyard, Dr. Meldgaard believes. oO

J SEE BY THE PAPERS * ARCHEOLOGY ELSEWHERE UST AS IN Greenland, so all over the world anthropologists, archeologists and paleontologists are collecting little bits and pieces of that jigsaw puzzle, the history of man. On a series of 114 parallel beach- es, extending inland from the ocean at Cape Krusenstern, Alaska, near Bering Strait, researchers are dis- covering the remains of a succes- sion of cultures that extend back thousands of years. These 114 beaches extend from the ocean to an inshore lagoon for a mile and a half, and each successive beach pro- vides the relics of a more ancient period. The oldest beach is perhaps 5,000 to 7,000 years old —and surpris- ingly, according to Dr. J. Louis Giddings, it is the most sophisti- cated in workmanship and artistic freedom. Its flint arrowheads and knives are so carefully chipped that the technique can be appreciated only with a magnifying glass. This is the Denbigh culture which, like most of the others here, has not yet been dated satisfactorily. A whaling culture found on the 53rd beach has been dated as about 3,700 years old. Significant findings so far are: 1.

CoO SIR ARTHUR’S JOKE IR ARTHUR Conan Doyle wrote his Sherlock Holmes stories mostly while he was practic- ing as a physician in his house in Devonshire Place, in the heart of London’s fashionable medical quar- ter. The present owner rents the house in suites to seven London specialists and has installed an ele- vator for their patients. This ele- vator is serviced monthly and yet it has developed a mind of its own. When it is carrying patients it usually stops between the third and fourth floors, where Conan Doyle had his medical quarters. No one has an explanation for the stoppages. The owner says the elevator is treated like a baby. One of the doctors says: “Unlike Conan Doyle, we have a regular flow of patients. Maybe it is his way of showing he is still in- terested in medicine.”
Page 23
I SEE BY THE PAPERS Another odd thing, according to Charles A. Smith of the Hearst Headline Service, is that whenever a patient leaves the office on Conan Doyle’s old floor, “the windows rat- tle though there is no wind outside, and doors creak.” The elevator attendant-janitor is a man named Malcolm Campbell. Whenever the elevator stops with a patient inside, Campbell helps things along with this assurance: “Sir Arthur is with us again.” oa) LAST PARAGRAPHS F LUNATIC man had not de- stroyed the aurochs and the tarpan, Dr. Heck’s work would not have been necessary. But this kind of destruction is only a glimpse of the dangers that threaten us.

The title refers to the fact that in some parts of America spring has become silent — because the birds that herald the rebirth of nature are dead. They have been killed by chemicals used for pest control; while the insects themselves have became immune to the chemicals. As we write this, early in May, we have no robins living near our suburban home. We have seen but a few this Spring, including two dead ones found in our own yard. — Curtis Fuller 23 FREE FREE It took 17 years of research to produce this practical course: GETTING THE MOST OUT OF LIFE Write for free introductory lesson to: A.

f <2 The SAD STATE of PSYCHIC RESEARCH By james Ganshow One of the principal considera- tions which prompted Thomas Wel- ton Stanford of Melbourne, Aus- tralia, to give the present equivalent of several million dollars to his brother Leland’s prestigious Stan- ford University in California was a deep and abiding interest in psychic phenomena, mediumistic and other- wise. : The full story of what has hap- pened to these “psychical research” funds, the conditions and events associated with their donation and the frustrating efforts to put them to fruitful use, along the lines the donor intended, is herewith present- 24 ed for the very first time. It may come as something of a surprise that Duke University’s great pioneer in extrasensory per- ception research, Dr. J. B. Rhine, has had an indirect connection with the use of the funds and is not a litile distressed over alleged negative results from ESP experi- ments at Stanford University. His pointed comments on this aspect of — a long simmering controversy re- garding the nature and extent of the research carried on at Stanford are likewise quoted for the first time below. Thomas Welton Stanford, the

Plant reportedly grew to height of 16 inches in a few minutes at a Bailey seance attended by Stanford. American businessman who took a shipload of kerosene lamps to Aus- tralia in 1880 and remained to ac- quire a large fortune from sewing machines and real estate, early be- came interested in the new frontier of psychical research. As he said himself: “My experi- ence in all kinds of phenomena has been so wide that a large vol- ume would scarcely suffice to con- tain it.” East Indian picture of Hindu gods was one of scores of apports pro- duced by medium Charles Bailey. He added: “Many are the re- markable tests I have received.” As an example, he told of an experience with the American me- dium Henry Slade: “I had great opportunities with him, as my sit- tings with him were chiefly of a 25 purely private and spontaneous kind in my own room, when spend- ing a quiet hour with him. On one occasion Slade requested me to ask for any particular physical phe-
Page 26
26 nomenon I cared to name. “We were sitting in full light, and I said I-would like my hat to be brought from the other side of the room and placed on my head. A twitch at the collar of my coat drew my attention to the fact that the flowers in the buttonhole had disappeared, and while I was re- marking on this loss, my hat was placed on my head. On taking it off, the little bunch of flowers dropped out of it. This took place, as I said, in full daylight. “Presently, as I was sitting be- side Mr. Slade, with my left hand clasped in his right, I said I would like the hand bell on a small table opposite us to ring and come across to me, Instantly the bell rose, rang loudly, as if shaken by a firm hand, came across in a sort of curved movement down to my feet ...” The bell, said Stanford, then rose up to his hand. (Quotations are from the October 1, 1918, issue of the Australian journal Harbin- ger of Light, which Thomas Stan- ford substantially supported. He had died on August 28 of that year at the age of 86.) TANFORD MET and tested K’ many psychic sensitives, but he considered Charles Bailey of Australia the most remarkable. Bai- ley won international attention as an “apport” medium. He (or his “controls”) could produce large FATE numbers of unusual and exotic ob- jects apparently out of thin air under the most stringent of test conditions. There was a direct con- nection between Bailey’s medium- ship and the plan for the gifts to Stanford University. The fact that Bailey and Slade, as well as other psychics, were at one time or another accused of fraud did not deter Stanford in his investigations nor alter his convic- tion that psychical research was proper in higher educational insti- tutions. Despite the serious accusations against Bailey, with whom he ex- perimented for some 12 years around the turn of the century, Thomas Stanford sent crates of as- sorted apports to Stanford Univer- sity. These were to be museum pieces and objects of investigation in connection with his consuming interest. (See Fraud Is Where You Find it, Fate, April, 1962.) Two funds were donated to Stan- ford University by Thomas Welton Stanford, younger brother of Cali- fornia Senator Leland Stanford, famed railroad builder and founder of the University, which was a me- morial to the latter’s son, Leland Jr. One fund was large, one much smaller. In terms of present in- flationary values, their total— $576,000—might not seem great as compared to the millions which col- leges now frequently receive. How-

The first gift of $50,000 was strictly for psychical research. It was made in 1911, and a covering letter (dated March 28 of that year) provided that the $50,000 be invested at a “fair rate of interest,” this to be credited annually to a fund “exclusively for psychic inves- tigation.” The second, larger gift was in the form of a bequest under the terms of Thomas Stanford’s will, dated June 1, 1911. It set up a fund from the residue of certain trust assets for “psychical or psychologi- cal science study or research.” Upon Stanford’s death and the probate of the will, it was found that this residue amounted to about $526,000, which the will provided must be held intact and the income only used for the purposes specified. In practice, this income has been devoted entirely to what the Uni- versity calls the “normal studies”
Page 28
28 of its Psychology Department. Hence, the available psychical re- search money has been restricted to the income from the $50,000 gift. This currently amounts to around $4000 per year and obviously can no longer support a full time fel- lowship for psychical research as in the past. OW, THE UNIVERSITY re- ports, psychical research in- vestigators or “fellows” are appoint- ed only every two or three years. They must have their doctoral de- grees, but previous experience in psychical research is not required. Rather, primary qualifications are: intellectual ability, sound psycho- logical training, demonstrative apti- tude for research, open-mindedness with respect to psychical research issues. At Stanford, the term “psychical research” is used in a broad sense to include mediumistic phenomena, telepathy, clairvoyance, hallucina- tion, hypnosis, dreams, dissoci- ation of personality, subconscious mechanisms, motor automatisms, subliminal perception and “any other phenomena that may be as- sumed to have a direct bearing on the psychology of the ‘occult’.” The fellowship is administered by the Psychology Department, which also gets the income from the larger grant. The most recent work has been carried on by Dr. Rosemarie FATE K. Moore, who studied the hyp- — notic susceptibility of children. Her findings are being published. From 1952°to 1954, Dr. Stark Hathaway of the University of Min- nesota was granted a fellowship for a study of “clinical intuition.” Appointment of another fellow in psychical research is expected in 1963, the University has announced. All this is a part of a straightfor- ward report of the psychical re- search activities by those adminis- tering the smaller of the two funds. Whether or not the true intentions of Thomas Stanford have been car- ried out has become a matter of some debate. There are those who argue that the words “psychical re- search” have been interpreted too broadly and that more of the in- come from the larger gift should be used to supplement the smaller one. In recent years, a group of Stan- ford faculty members were inter- ested in obtaining funds for psy- chical research and tried personally to do so but were unsuccessful, ac- cording to a research group with which some of them were associated. However, it was not any of these matters which brought a tight-lip- ped reaction from Dr. Rhine. In- stead, it was a University report to Fate on the results—or lack of them—obtained in extrasensory perception experiments, since this — report referred to Dr. Rhine by

PSYCHIC RESEARCH AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY 262 name and by implication challenged the findings of the noted parapsy- chologist. The paragraphs in the re- port which most concerned him were these: “The most comprehensive work done under this endowment was probably that of Dr. John Edgar Coover, who was the psychic re- search fellow from 1912 until his re- tirement in 1938. He exposed a number of mediums and gave an occasional course on the history of the psychic research movement. His findings were all negative, but he was a most honest worker in the opinion of faculty members. “Some of the first fellows, par- ticularly Dr. John Kennedy, check- ed many of the claims of the well- known Dr. Rhine of Duke Univer- sity but were unable to verify any of them. When this had continued for a period of years, Dr. Ray Ly- ~man Wilbur, then president of the University, asked that a man train- ed by Dr. Rhine be appointed as a a fellow. This was done—Dr. Char- les Stuart was the man—and he was given a completely free hand. After three years, Dr. Stuart had to admit failure in verifying the Rhine material.” HE IS Dr. Rhine’s reply: “Although I have long felt badly about Stanford University’s han- dling of the Thomas Welton Stan- ford Psychical Research Fund, I have been hesitant to speak out against a great university which is otherwise doing such fine and impor- tant work. “But when the paragraphs were shown me from the Stanford Uni- versity report with a request for ~ my comment, I could no longer be Silent. These paragraphs are so full of erroneous and misleading statements that one can only be amazed that they were ever re- leased. “Let me take them point by point: “First, Coover’s ‘findings ‘were all negative,’ it is said. Yet five inde- pendent scholars appraised Coover’s ESP tests on students, made with playing cards, and pointed out that he had significantly positive results. (See footnote on page 147 of Hx- trasensory Perception After Siuty Years; Holt, New York, 1940.) “Coover hid the significance of his findings, but the fact that they were not negative has been known for over 20 years. “Next, Dr. John Kennedy is refer- red to. It may seem incredible, but he was engaged for the Psychical Re- search Fellowship with the express understanding that he knew nothing about psychical research, the subject to be investigated. The Department of Psychology, which was respon- sible, seemingly wished to be sure that there would be no positive in- terest in the subject on the part of the man chosen to carry out the wishes of the donor. “Tt is true, as stated in the re- port, that Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, chancellor of the University, yield- ing to the pressure of eminent alum- ni of the University to see that the funds for psychical research were properly used, did ask for a man

Stuart was appointed a Fellow for two years. “One of the most active of the alumni in trying to correct this handling of the fund for psychical research was the late Dr. Louis Cor- nish, president of the Unitarian So- ciety. Dr. Cornish told me that he had been told, with a chuckle, by the chancellor of Stanford, Dr. David Starr Jordan, who had negotiated with Thomas Welton Stanford for the second and larger grant for psychical research, that he had per- suaded Mr. Stanford to allow the words ‘psychological science study or research’ to be added to the sub- ject psychical, research, for which the first grant had been made ex- clusively. “With this broadened statement_ of the object of gift, the money could legally be used for psychology; and from all indications it has not been used for psychical research. It has, however, served as a warning to others who might allow undue latitude in deeds of gift. The ethics involved may be, for many, a fine point, but the warning is clear enough. “T now come to the last sentence of the paragraph, ‘Dr. Stuart had to admit failure in verifying the Rhine material.’ I would challenge anyone at Stanford to produce sup- port for that statement. Rather, there are three articles by Dr..Stu- art, published in the Journal of Para- psychology for the year 1945 and that of 1946, all three affording positive results from ESP experi- ments conducted at Stanford and with footnotes acknowledging that fact and crediting the Thomas Wel- FATE ton Stanford Fellowship in Psy- chical Research for support for the work done. “T have felt it wise to leave it to Stanford, her alumni, her admin- istration and others to work out this problem in their own way and time, but I could not allow these misleading and damaging state- ments to be published unchallenged. “There is a great deal more to the story, and I will pursue this issue, if necessary, as far as the Stanford representatives responsible for the statements would like to go. But I think, for the good of all and especially for this great University, it would be far better candidly to reconsider the spirit of this gift for psychical research, respect the clear intentions of the deceased donor and straighten out a long-standing problem that has continued to puz- zle many of us. Can a first-rate institution do less?” p= RHINE suggested that oth- ers interested in donating funds for parapsychological and psychical research might profit from a close look at what has come to be known as the “Stanford situation.” He made four interesting points: 1. The gift of money alone is not a sufficient guarantee that the gift will be properly used or that a desirable program will be set up. 2. The donor needs careful pro- fessional advice (legal and other- wise) in formalizing the terms of a gift, because the recipient university or institution will want the greatest. technical and legal freedom in con- trolling its own use of the funds.

It is a good question whether funds in the form of endowment (with use of income only) should be given for use to an institution for any investigation as specific and as likely to be subject to the fluc- tuations of cultural influence as is parapsychology. 4. In light of the Stanford situa- tion, it might be better for a donor of substantial sums for work in this field to set up an independent trust fund or foundation which at all times would control the use of mon- ey handed out. This could be done through the guidance of a firmly regulated board or committee em- powered to place funds where they would do the most good and to perpetuate the ideals and objectives of the donor. A pattern of such educational trusts, research foundations and similar independent charitable and philanthropic entities has been de- veloped since the time of the Stan- ford gifts. They generally also make it possible for directors to invest

Nevertheless, there are some in- dications that Thomas Stanford ‘knew what he was doing when he gave money directly to the Univer- sity. In his letter of March 28, 1911, he said: “Tt is my wish to act in harmony with my co-trustees and to place as little restrictions as possible on my gifts to the University.” (He was a life member of the Board of Trustees of the University.) His will of June 1, 1911, making the bequest to the trustees specified that the income from the fund “Shall be applied in such manner and under such conditions consis- tent with the trusts of the said University as shall seem to them in their . . . absolute and unfettered discretion best, exclusively and wholly in the advancement of edu- cation, learning and general knowl- edge in connection with psychical or psychological science study or research,” S° MUCH for what has happened to the two Thomas Welton Stanford research funds. What of the scores of “apports” which sup- posedly were sent to the University for display and study? These were said to have directly inspired his gifts to the University for psychic research. FATE It is reported that only about 30 apports now remain. (Probably many were destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, which badly damaged some of the University buildings and resulted in other gifts by Thomas Stanford for their recon- struction.) They are stored in the drawers of a mahogany chest and include such things, according to the University, as “Indian mocca- - sins and other ordinary items.” One account says there are also “supernatural pictures of ectoplasm and Egyptian pieces ‘materialized’ at seances.” They are regarded as “having no value” except for pos- sible research into the life and ac- tivities of Thomas Welton Stanford. Biographical material released by the University refers to him as a “devotee of psychical research” and a “patron of psychology” by rea- son of his bequest. Income from the endowment under his will consti- tutes a major part of the annual budget of the Psychology Depart- ment, it is stated. In the approved biography, Thomas Stanford is described not only as an astute business man but one interested in science. He main- tained facilities for the study of botany and astronomy and was said to have preserved skeptical reser- vations as to psychical manifesta- tions, even though, says the biog- raphy: “There were some phenomena in the seances that puzzled him. At
Page 33
PSYCHIC RESEARCH AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY times he seemed to be completely convinced of the spiritistic hypothe- sis; at other times he was quite skeptical. In case his mediums were Criticized he was apt to defend them, even though he himself had his doubts. Out of these doubts grew his determination to establish ‘research in the University that would be better adapted to ascer- tain the truth than were the results of investigations published in the _ Proceedings of the Society for Psy- chical Research.” The biography states that one evening a week was set aside for Stanford’s “permanent interest” in Spiritism. “These weekly seances were held in his magnificent office building in Melbourne,” the biography con- tinues. “Admission was by invita- tion only, and the names for any given date were selected by Mr. Crook, his secretary and manager, from a card catalogue of about 200 persons, consisting of the elite of the social, political, and business circles of that city. He saw to it that these names were put through - permutations, so that the circle would be constantly changing in its composition. This he did to pre- clude conspiracy, for he entertained something of a suspicion that the mediumship was dominated by an intention to swindle him financially. “This master doubter once told Bailey he would believe his tricks if the latter would produce a copy of 33 the London Times of yesterday’s date. Bailey said he would do this; but what he produced was not the London Times. It was a Hindu pa-. per printed in the vernacular. Mr. . Crook took it to the University to get the date translated and found that it seemed to be in fact yes- terday’s paper. The day of the month was right and the month was - right, but unfortunately on closer examination it was found that the - paper was exactly one year old.” A somewhat different picture of Thomas Stanford and his interests is given in the Harbinger of Light. The 1918 article quoted Stanford as once saying: “Tt is remarkable how many peo- ple get their conviction from physi- cal phenomena, and that was the reason why I maintained for so long a time the sittings with Bailey, who was the most remarkable me- dium I ever met, as he combined. both the physical and intellectual phenomena, some of his addresses In the trance state being of the ~ highest class.” As to the apports, which always were produced while doors and win- dows were locked and sealed, with Bailey securely locked in a net cage, plainly illuminated with a red light, the Harbinger said: “The multiplicity of apports that arrived was simply astounding, and in the aggregate constitute a veri- — table museum. They included scores - of tablets and cylinders with incised
Page 34
34 figures and cuneiform inscriptions from Eastern countries, scores of live birds of foreign varieties, many beautiful birds’ nests from Egypt and India, several live fish envel- oped with seaweed dripping with sea water and permeated with sand, a live starfish being found in one of the heaps, and dozens of ‘hopping insects’ frequently found on the sands,” Other apports, said the publica- tion, included: “A leopard’s skin, measuring six feet from the neck to the end of the tail; Greek, Egyptian and Ro- man manuscripts; 100 antique coins; many nests, containing birds’ eggs; lumps of clay with spearheads embedded therein; portion of a mosaic pavement purporting to have been brought from Central America; a piece of Indian tapes- try, measuring 11 feet by 5 feet, which completely enwrapped the - medium; heaps of ivory and other beads; several foreign plants, some of which were subsequently to be seen growing in Mr. Stanford’s garden; a live turtle, which lived for two or three weeks; a beautiful silken garment, said to have be- longed to a Nautch dancing girl, its length being nine feet, but which was afterwards dematerialized and taken away again, as it was thought the wearer might have died of fever. “Precious stones; some charming little white birds, subsequently de- materialized and taken back to FATE their native haunts; a fishing net, 15 feet long and 10 inches wide with shells as sinkers and pieces of wood for floats; a human skull; head-dresses of native chiefs; leaves of palm trees with prayers writ- ten thereon; and a host of other curious articles too numerous to mention.” The “whole of these” were sent to Stanford University, stated the journal (not, of course, including the dematerialized and deteriorated items.) In previous years, the Har- binger had published numerous photographs of the apports, pur- portedly representing “matter pass- ing through matter.” The Harbinger ‘also quoted a more generous appraisal of an early consignment of apports to the Uni- versity —a letter to Thomas Stan- ford from his sister-in-law, Mrs. Jane L. Stanford, written in July, 1903: “Let me tell you how pleased I am to possess the tablets you have sent me. They are priceless. They have been placed in the center of the Egyptian room in the Museum, in a blackwood case with glass cov- er. Those that were translated and numbered have cards with printed: translations, and can be read easily by visitors. These cylinders covered with hieroglyphs are as fine as any I saw in the museum at Cairo. “T hope you will not think I am asking too much if I express the wish to have the mss, also and any
Page 35
PSYCHIC RESEARCH AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY 35 other antiquities you may care to part with.” N PAST DECADES, some rep» resentatives or faculty members at Stanford have beem wont to deny the existence of the apports or even of a fund for psychical research, but the present administration has taken a somewhat more enlightened attitude. With the wider acceptance of such research and the expressed interest of at least one or more present faculty members, hope is growing: that there will be a more extensive use of both the Thomas Stanford grants im accordance with the wishes: he so clearly indicated. Note: Dr. Rhine, on seeing the manuscript of the above article added this: comment: “This: article helps my perspec- tive. I recognize that T. W. Stan- ford may well have intended that # more liberal interpretation of the aims: of his: gifts be made. While I still firmly believe Dr. Cornish’s. story, of course, and I see no reason to doubt that Dr. Jordan felt he had a hand in broadening the statement of purpose of the second gift, I would now concede that this may not have been the whole story. “Mr. Stanford may himself have cheerfully concurred or may even have wanted it this way. “Also, since a great deal of at- tention is given to the apport junk which was turned over to the Univ- ersity, I think I should add, in fair- ness, that I can see no reason for exhibiting these worthless tokens of a prescientific stage of the in- vestigation of this field if there was no express agreement with the don- or to do so. “Finally, while I would hope for more reliable University news releases in the future with regard to parapsychology, I would join the author in the hope expressed in his final paragraph.” ~~ SENILE JUVENILE.

"Rocket-Shooting” SAUCERS over Tucson By Car shen Rocket-like objects emerged from and returned to the saucers. And one disgorged an even stranger gimmick. ee THE EVENING of June 26, I opened the Tucson Daily Citizen looking for a story dealing with city street improvement. When I came to the local news section I promptly forgot street improvement as these words jumped at me from the page: SAUCERS, ROCKETS i OF LIGHT INHABIT NIGHT SKY. i An unconventional aerial object 1 had hovered for a time over Tucson, } Ariz., on June 25, 1962, and a strange device had been lowered to 1 the ground.

Westmoreland, his brother James and next-door neighbor Ronnie Black had spent the night in a tent in the Westmoreland backyard and for four hours had witnessed some strange aerial phenomena. I read the article and reached for the telephone book. Seconds later I was talking to Mrs. Logan West- moreland, mother of John and James. She graciously invited Mr. Lorenzen and me to come to her home and interview the boys. Three hours later we were seated in the comfortably furnished living room of the Westmoreland home in south- east Tucson. 37 ‘LAUNCH ”% PLATFORM at> SCALE OF SMALL OBJECT I really didn’t expect to find out anything of importance; 11 years’ experience investigating UFO sight- ings, as Director of the Aerial Phe- nomena Research Organization (APRO), has taught me skepticism. However, the boys were eager to talk about their adventure and they told this story: John and James Westmoreland and Ronnie Black had been given permission to spend the night in the tent in the backyard. Armed with a deck of playing cards and pad and pencil for score-keeping, they had settled down to a game of 500 Rummy by lantern light. Short-
Page 38
38 ly before 9:00 they were bored with the card game but not yet sleepy and they decided to go outside — to watch for meteors, to look at the stars, to catch a passing breeze. The day had been hot but summer rains were in the offing and the night air, although still warm and humid, was beginning to cool. John noticed an odd-looking star. It was very bright, white in color, and “moved around a little.” Soon it dimmed, moved a little toward the south, lost a few degrees in al- titude and then became stationary. Mr. Lorenzen determined through careful questioning that the “star” was at first about five degrees south of due west at an elevation of from 30 to 40 degrees. However, the boys soon had lost interest and went back into the tent to another game of Rummy. From time to time they peeked out at the strange “star” but it just “Stayed there.” All three boys were beginning to think about turning in for the night. One of the fun things ‘about sleeping out was staying up beyond normal bedtime, but they had to admit to themselves that they were sleepy. Then at about 11:45 things began to happen. The bright “star” became miuch brighter and seemed to move closer. It assumed a triangular shape as it grew larger. Then it became station- ary again. How long this process took the boys did not know, but FATE according to the kitchen clock (they kept peeking in the window to check the time) a surprising thing happened at 12:15 A.M. ‘Three green flares or rockets were fired horizontally from the main objéct. At this time, John scrambled in- to the tent, and emerged with the score pad and pencil. Having de- cided to keep notes he wrote: “At 9:00 o’clock at night we saw a fly- ing saucer. At 12:15 it shot three green things that traveled faster than any plane.” Jim and I questioned the boys in a conversational tone, changing off subjects occasionally. Sometimes I would talk to John while Jim would ask questions of Ronnie Black or James. Then we would switch and I would talk to the youngest boy and Jim would concentrate on John and James, and so on. They all agreed that the rockets were too fast to track with the eyes. After the first “rocket” was fired John noticed the second “saucer” which we will hereafter refer to as” Number Two. It came racing from west to east across the northern sky, “turned a flip,” and came to rest about 15 degrees east of north at a slightly greater elevation than saucer Number One. Shortly Num- ber Two, which appeared closer and larger than Number One, was approached by a “flare-like object” which came in from underneath and ~ appeared to be absorbed through
Page 39
“ROCKET-SHOOTING” SAUCERS OVER TUCSON 305 the bottom of Number Two. Then the first saucer spat out an- other of the small objects. About three minutes later Number Two was approached again by a tiny ob- ject which seemingly disappeared into the bottom of Number Two. Number One was still in the same position, appearing to be triangular in shape. Number Two appeared round, and much closer, with two leg-like or stilt-like protuberances on its underside. A third flare emerged from Num- ber One and was shortly “received” by saucer Number Two. Things were getting interesting. Number Two then shot out a “rocket” which quickly disappeared into the night sky. Number two began to dim and fade into the sky and was not seen again. Number One retained its position. At this time saucer Number Three was spotted at about 100-110 de- grees and about 45 degrees eleva- tion. It appeared the largest and highest of the three, which suggests that it was closer. The detail re- ported by the boys bears this out. But the best part of the show was yet to come. Number Three sported a cone- shaped superstructure above an ap- parently round airfoil. Its color was white and like the others it made absolutely no sound. At 1:16 a jet plane went over. We later decided it was probably in the flight pat- }. tern of Davis-Monthan AFB, a Strategic Air Command installation a scant three or four miles from the Westmoreland home. The new visitor closed in and three of the stilt-like protuberances “popped out.” Then the object gained altitude. An elongated dark something slid out from above the circular rim and three of the small rocket-like objects emerged in quick succession. In a few minutes they were back. Two doors swung down and back up flush with the bottom of the saucer. As the doors opened, the “legs” receded into the object. The little “rockets,” now clearly seen, swiftly entered the opening, one by one. The big object elevated slightly, moved sideways and then became stationary again. During our conversation the boys talked excitedly, sometimes dis- agreeing about time intervals but always agreeing on the basic infor- mation. They said that during the latter part of the sighting involving the saucer with opening doors they be- came frightened but were too curi- ous to go indoors. The newspaper had printed only the boys’ notes which recorded merely general movements of the aerial objects. For instance, in de- scribing saucer Number Three, John had written: “Something lowered from the bottom. Something came out.”
Page 40
_ 40 I asked John what this meant. He said something which looked like a rope or cable came out and lowered to the ground. I asked him what color it was.and two voices — John’s and James’ — replied in uni- son, “brown.” I asked how they could tell the colors at that time of night. “From the light,” they said. : “What light?” I asked. They then told me that when the saucer doors opened, a red light shone down from the inside in a perpendicular narrow beam that ex- tended to the ground. When the long, rope-like object began to emerge, it was clearly visible and appeared brown in color. The boys estimated that after three to five minutes the “rope” be- gan to go up into the saucer again, After it had cleared the top of the ridge bordering Pantano Wash they realized something was on the bottom of it. It was slowly pulled up into the large object, the doors closed and the object moved up- ward, eastward, and out of sight. The youngsters stayed up a little longer watching for more activity in the sky, but before long sleep- iness due to the excitement of the night and the late hour overcame their curiosity and they retired to the tent. As soon as they awakened in the morning they rushed in to tell Mrs. Westmoreland what they had seen. FATE. Pat Westmoreland, about 40, is an understanding mother but a firm one. She thought at first the boys had made up or had imagined the story but she soon realized they had had a real experience. She de- cided the newspapers should know what had happened the preceding night and called them. The boys were anxious to find out if others had witnessed the phe- nomena. During one of our con- versations John expressed consider- able disappointment that no one had reported the objects to us. He said, “I can’t figure how anyone could have missed it.” The newspaper which printed John’s notes pointed out that the incident could be real or imaginary and did nothing to investigate for other witnesses or to establish the facts. After three long visits with the boys, during which time Mr. Lor- enzen walked with them to Pantano Wash over which they thought the UFO had hovered and I sketched the objects from their instructions, we found no indication that they were not telling the truth. Mr. Lorenzen and I have no evidence nor any suspicion that the boys were attempting to perpetrate a hoax. Some of the things, over and above the apparent honesty of the boys, which impressed me concern- ing the sighting are the objectivity
Page 41
“ROCKET-SHOOTING” SAUCERS OVER TUCSON 41 and intelligent powers of observa- _ tion displayed by the three boys. When attempting to describe the object which was brought up by the “rope” or “cable,” John West- moreland estimated the object was about as long as his father. In other words, its length was ap- proximately six feet. If saucer Number Three was above Pantano Wash, as the boys thought, we can have an idea of its size as well as of the size of the flares or “rockets” and of the size of the objects pulled up by the “rope”. The rim of the third saucer seem- ed to have the same displacement as the five-foot cross-arm on the utility pole at the corner of the Westmoreland lot. Thus, if it was over Pantano Wash, one-fourth mile distant, it was approximately 80 feet in diameter. The small ob- jects then would have been about six feet long, and the object taken up into the saucer would be about the same size as the “rockets,” and certainly of the same general con- figuration (see sketches). It is interesting and tempting to - speculate that one of the rockets, at some time or other, had become disabled and a search had been in- itiated and, eventually, a recovery effected (the incident observed by the Westmoreland boys and Ronnie Black). The latter phase of the sighting, in which a device was lowered to the ground and returned to saucer Number Three with a triangular-shaped object at the end of it, certainly indicates something was raised from the ground to the saucer. This may be supported further by the fact that, after hours of hovering in the vicinity, the UFO left after the small object was taken into Number Three. The recovery of that object may have been the sole reason for the presence of the saucers that night. peter URING THE COURSE of our investigation I heard a third- hand account of a sighting from an individual whom I consider reliable. This object had a yellow light on it and “gave off” small bright ob- jects. It was seen southeast of Tuc- son about two months prior to the Westmoreland incident. The indi- vidual who told of thé previous in- cident did not know all the details of the Westmoreland sighting. After the initial publicity, a group of local college students sent. up some balloons filled with ordinary kitchen gas and lighted by candles encased in fireproof crepe paper. This was done three days after the Westmoreland sighting. A professor of atmospheric phys- ics who is interested in UFOs was told of a strange lighted object in the sky and viewed it through a small telescope. The story of his sighting was in the Avizona Siar, a morning paper, on Friday, June 29,
Page 42
42 1962. Upon reading the details, plus his theory that the thing was ‘an “extended source of light,” I wondered if some hoaxers had been at work. I called the Tucson Citi- zen, asking that they mention APRO?’s interest and asking for fur- ther sightings of the Thursday ob- ject if any came in. I suggested that the object seen that night might have been the result of a prank. Later I talked to the physi- cist and found that he also had de- cided that the object was a hoax. Later news stories said the boys involved in the “prank” were “car- rying out experiments dealing with wind velocity and other weather conditions.” Considering that the balloon was home-made, of dry- cleaning bags, and that it contained dangerous, highly flammable gas and was tied to a device with an open flame, it is not likely it was more than a prank. It appears more likely the “young men” realized the childishness of their actions and at- tempted to pass them off as “an ex- periment.” The only two observers of the lighted plastic bags who called me and described what they had seen did not think there was anything mysterious about the objects. One lady said she felt the thing she was watching was a balloon with a light attached to it. Nevertheless, the local press gave the impression that those who viewed the hoax objects FATE -were completely fooled. This cer- tainly was not the case. It is lamentable that the news- — papers, apparently satisfied with the “young men’s” explanation, stated that these “experiments” may have been the cause of all saucer sight- ings in Southern Arizona in the past few months. Unfortunately, a large percentage of the press disposes of the perplexing UFO problem by ignoring the evidence. Mr. Lorenzen duly informed the Airdrome officer at Davis-Monthan AFB of the Westmorelands’ saucer sighting, but they have not been contacted by any official investiga- tor. Indeed, the officer did not seem to be interested in the sighting. The events of June 24-30 aptly demonstrate my contention concern- ing the psychology of the “disbe- liever.” The skeptic is so intent upon disproving what he does not wish to believe, by labelling it a hoax or the misconception of a con- ventional object, that he often sets about perpetrating a hoax to sup- port his own convictions and allay his subconscious fears. Seok THOROUGH PERUSAL of newspaper stories concerning the Westmoreland sighting, as well as other newspaper reports of un- identified flying objects, emphasizes the foolhardiness of accepting in toto the information pertaining to UFO sightings as presented by the
Page 43
| “ROCKET-SHOOTING” SAUCERS OVER TUCSON 43 news media and points up the need for thorough investigation. Had I accepted the Westmoreland story as presented by the Tucson Citizen ‘I would have had a short disserta- tion completely lacking in detail. A few hours spent in investigation en- abled APRO to log one of the most detailed sightings of an unconven- tional aerial object in our records. ok A? THIS POINT, perhaps you wonder why the boys didn’t report their observation when it took place. The answer is quite simple. The first UFO remained only a “star” in the sky for some time. When the interesting phenomena began it was late and Mr. and Mrs. West- moreland had retired. Both of the Westmoreland boys said they would hesitate to wake their parents to report a “flying saucer.” And the Westmorelands admit. that they would not have felt kindly dispesed toward tales of UFOs in the middle of the night. None of them believed in flying saucers before June 26 of this year. SY UTHOR AND long-time FATE contributor Walter Germain, who believed he kept himself alive the last few years by will power, died June 22, in a Saginaw, Mich., hospital, the third fatality of an automobile crash. A Fate writer since 1953, Germain’s articles include “Ex- periences in Telepathy” (June, 1954), “Miracles By Mental Suggestion” (November, 1954), “You Can Learn To Heal’ (Sep- tember, 1956), “The Practical WALTER M. GERMAIN DIES Side of Prayer” (May, 1957), and “Live To Be 100” (Novem- ber, 1960).- Germain, 72, who wrote the best-seller The Magic Power of Your Mind, claimed that he cured himself of cancer of the chest by mental therapy. His books advise readers that they can improve themselves through mental discipline. Throughout the years Ger- main has been one of FATE’S most faithful readers and vocal critics.

HEN I HEARD that the Sons of Freedom were fan- atically burning their homes in a mid-June rampage against the Ca- nadian government, I flew to Castel- gar, British Columbia, rented a car and drove to Doukhobor coun- try. At Krestova, Glade, Shore- acres and Gilpin, I saw the smoul- dering ruins of some 90 homes, homes which their owners had de- liberately set ablaze. Twisted skel- etons of metal beds and stoves lay in the charred and gutted founda- tions, grim reminders that the oc- cupants had not bothered to re- move their belongings. The MAD, BAD DOUKS They call themselves Sons of Freedom but to them that means freedom to burn, bomb and strip in public places, B, Marcus Bach Marcus Bach, noted author and lecturer on religion, made: per- sonal: visit to “’Douk” country, This was not the first time that this renegade sect of the Doukho- borski had resorted to arson to show their displeasure against the Brit- ish Columbia government. I had been in this area on three previous occasions during the past 12 years. There were burnings then. Once because the government insisted that the Freedomite children be sent to school; again when the children were forcibly taken to school: another time when some of the Sons were on trial for arson. There were also other reasons for triggering fires in the Kootenay country, reasons no one seemed

All that people could say was, “The mad Douks are at it again.” Several months ago a high power line and its mammoth tower on the east bank of Kootenay Lake had been ruthlessly blown up. It plunged the Kootenay Valley into darkness, threw thousands of men, mostly miners, out of work, endangered life, and caused half-a-million dol- lars damage. Sons of Freedom were blamed and apprehended. A trial for 71 members of the sect’s ruling body was set for June 11. It was now June 10. Hence, the burn- 45 t ings. The Sons of Freedom wanted — the world to see how they were be- ing “persecuted.” They were pro- testing the school issue, too, affirm- ing that secular education lures their children from God. There was still another excuse for willfully putting the torch to their two-story tinder-box homes. It was an old reason, one that I had heard many times and that I now heard again as I stood in the smoke-filled mountain village of Krestova. One of the Sons put it this way, “Jesus wants us to burn everything!”
Page 46
46 “How do you know that is what Jesus wants you to do?” I asked. “He told us.” “How did He tell you?” “We know that He told us, that is good enough for us.” Nearby stood a Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He did not inter- fere with those who wanted to burn their homes. He just watched to make sure that no one perished in the flames. His attitude and that of the British Columbia public gen- erally seemed to be, “Let them burn. themselves out if they have a mind to, and let’s have an end of the pesky Sons once and for all.” As I walked through Krestova it looked as though this time the Freedomites were really deter- mined to do away with all of the 100 or more dwellings. To be sure, some of the homes were lit- tle more than shanties, but others were well built and well cared for dwellings; homes, the one posses- sion most men work for, were being almost eagerly set aflame. Krestova, which means “the place of the cross,” is a pictur- esque community, especially when the women with their white head- scarves and their full, long-skirted dresses gather in groups to dis- cuss their fate, or when they move through the mountain trails like pilgrims out of some pastoral yes- terday. They want to be pilgrims, these FATE Russian Doukhobors who have banded into what they call the Fraternal Council of Reformed Doukhobors, who are popularly known as the Sons or the Free- domites. There are less than 1500 of them, but they have kept Brit- ish Columbia in turmoil for half a century. Will this be the end? History argues against any such hopefulness, Five years ago, after considerable arson and dynamit- ing, the Sons said they were sick and tired of Canada and wished to return to their homeland, Rus- sia. The British Columbia govern- ment said in effect, “Good! We will pay your way!” But they did not go. I asked one of the women lead- ers, Fanny Storgoff, in Krestova, why this plan had failed. She said, “They (the B.C. government) poisoned the minds of the Russians by saying we are not good people. We are ready to go to Brazil, too, but they have poisoned the minds of the Brazilians until Brazil does not want us.” Fanny, a strong, dominant wom- an in her 40’s, spoke good English in this village where Russian is the vernacular. I asked her where she learned it. “Tn school,” she said. “Then why do you oppose edu- cation for your children?” “Tt’s because of the way they (the government) go about it.” With
Page 47
THE MAD, BAD DOUKS a far-away look in her eyes she add- ed, “They never understand us. They do not want to understand us.” You will never get anyone among the Sons of Freedom to admit that the government ever has done any- thing decently and in order. Thé general attitude is that “they have it in for us—they blame every crime in the province on us—they refuse to understand our religion.” Religion is at the heart of the Sons’ contention that everyone is against them. Theirs is a religion that stresses non-violence, but that resorts to violence. It is a religion that dictates compassion, but that arouses animosity; a religion that believes in God and Jesus and the Holy Ghost, but that will have nothing to do with any other reli- gion that believes in God and Jesus and the Holy Ghost; a religion that permits many things which other institutionalized faiths forbid—ar- son and nude parades, for exam- ple. Fire and nudism are the twin weapons of the “peace-loving” Freedomites and though they may have been accused of crimes which they did not commit, there is plen- ty of evidence that they are guilty on both counts of arson and inde- cent exposure! On a visit to Krestova in 1959 . I saw a woman saturate her home with kerosene and then toss a light- ed torch inside. While the flames 47 licked through the unpainted frame structure, she calmly shed her clothing. Then, joined by six other women who also stripped, she led the group in a most enchanting Russian hymn. This time there were nude par- ades along the dusty mountainous road that leads to Crescent Valley and, as there have been scores of times before, there were nude dem- onstrations in the staid little city of Nelson. As usual, the police round- ed up the nudists and herded them into jail while the chanting voices praised the power of Jesus over the evil influence of “the world.” The world and their Jesus— these are the persistent rivals in the jigsaw puzzle of the “mad, bad Douks,” and you cannot under- stand the Sons of Freedom without recognizing this equation. You may not understand them even if you do recognize it. Nobody really un- derstands them for they do not understand themselves. This became increasingly clear as I once more talked with the people. There were, for example, two tow- headed boys on bicycles calmly riding the Krestova road. I said to them, “Have your homes been burned?” They answered in unison that they had. “Why?” T asked. They shrugged as if to say, “How should we know?” “Who burned them?”
Page 48
= a “My mother burned mine,” ex- plained one of the boys. “My fa- ther is in jail.” “Who burned yours?” I asked the other boy. “My grandmother.” “Why?” He shrugged as if to say, “How should I know?” “Where are you living now?” “Tn the woodshed.” “How did you feel when you saw your mother set fire to your ~ home?” “T was sleeping.” “Where?” “Tn the barn.” “Your mother put you in the barn?” “T went there to sleep.” “Will you build another home ~ here, do you think?” They shrugged and, understand- ably weary of being interrogated, they rode away. One woman who burned her home said she remembered how her moth- er had burned their parental home when she was a child. Would these youngsters of 10 remember and imi- tate their elders when they came of age? Ever since the mid-18th Century when a group of dissenting peasants defected from the Eastern Orthodox Church in Russia, Doukhoborism has followed a specific, imitative pat- tern. It has been true to its name for Doukhobor means “spirit wres- FATE tler,”” one who struggles, so the Sons say, against the spirit of the world. The Freedomites have al- ways been convinced there must be enmity between the world and their Jesus. They have consistently re- fused to comply with the pro- nouncements of secular govern- ments, have opposed military serv- ice and the taking of oaths, resent- ed public schools, and have insisted that because they are a specially chosen people they should have special privileges and preferential treatment. They always have believed in voices and visions, and have an in- credible faith in leaders who pos- sess or claim to possess charismatic gifts. The greater the boast of these leaders the more stubbornly dedi- cated to the Sons they become. There is something masochistic about these Freedomites. They want to be regimented and hurt, not by worldly governments, but by those whom “God has called.” They believe they have such a leader now in Stefan Sorokin who has been known to abuse them and beat them with a cane if he thought they needed disciplining. Current- ly in self-appointed exile in South America, Sorokin keeps in touch with his people through epistles and proclamations and the Sons are longing for his return. If you say, “But he will whip you,” the reply will be, ““Maybe that is what we
Page 49
THE MAD, BAD DOUKS need, to be whipped . . . You whip horses when they need it ... And children. Sure he will whip us if we need it.” The police in British Co- lumbia also are waiting for Sorokin and are prepared to arrest him on any of a number of charges. Eleven “inspired” leaders have guided and misguided the hapless Doukhobors through their stormy days in Russia and the big name still remains that of Peter Vasili- vich Verigin. He was the one who, ~ together with aid from Count Leo Tolstoy and the help of a group of Philadelphia Quakers, made it possible for the Doukhobors to come to Canada. Some 12,000 came beginning with a migration of 2000 in 1899. Most of them have be- come Canadianized and these, who live mostly in Saskatchewan prov- ince, are as annoyed with the Sons as are the people of British Co- lumbia. Saskatchewan Doukhobors have little in common with the Freedomites, unless it be the tra- ditional chants and the admiration for Peter Vasilivich who was mys- teriously blown up in an explosion aboard the Canadian Pacific Ex- press on October 28, 1924. His tomb, which is shared with his swashbuckling son, Peter Petro- vich Verigin, has become a shrine, and I stopped there again during my Doukhobor stay. The cement mausoleum has been mysteriously dynamited several times in recent 49 years and its holy hill near Bril- liant, B.C., was more neglected than I ever had seen it. Still the Verigin name carries a lingering magic, and no one has forgotten that on the day of Peter Vasilivich’s burial some 10,000 chanting mourn- ers marched across the meadow. When driving away from the tomb, I realized that the name “Verigin” was still in the news, for a bulletin on the car radio said that the home of John Verigin in Grand Forks had just been set afire. “Young Johnny” is a leader of a faction called the Orthodox Doukhobors and apparently the Freedomites resented his lack of understanding with their cause. Thirteen naked hymn-singing wom- en walked into the Verigin home with kerosene and matches and set the house a-burning. Johnny was at a prayer meeting two miles away. Word was gotten. to him and to the fire department in time to save most of the house. Years ago Johnny said to me, “There are no more terrible words for me to hear than, ‘Johnny, the sky is red,’ ” This is the feeling of many non- Doukhobors who live in Doukho- bor-land. Some feel that the Sons are “modified fanatics” restricting their acts of arson to their own communities. Others are more ap- prehensive and some keep loaded guns in their homes, having warn-
Page 50
50 ed the Sons never to set foot on their land. Government officials feel that the Freedomite policy is one of constant harrassment and embarrassment, designed to wear down the provincial officials until they grant the Sons special favors. On May 27 of the current year five Freedomite women stripped in front of Prime Minister John Dief- enbaker when he spoke at a Brit- ish Columbia political rally in Com- inco Arena at Trail. The elderly women had planted themselves sev- en short rows from the prime min- ister and suddenly took off their clothes. Arena attendants rushed forward and thrust the clothing back into the women’s hands in the hope they would re-dress. They refused and Mr. Diefenbaker saved the day by saying, “I grew up on a homestead farm and what is happening here is no novelty to me!” This evoked the applause of the 2000 spectators and gave the dapper RCMP a chance to rush in and hustle the naked women off to jail. I once was confronted by some 50 Freedomite nudists during a talk at a meeting at Krestova. One by one the women disrobed and ad- vanced to the platform where I stood with my interpreter. I asked leader Mike Verigin the reason for this act and he said, “They want to show you how we must go to meet God. Naked we came into FATE the world and naked we must some day leave it.” The jails are never without some “nude-mad-Douks” as the public calls them, and provincial prisons usually house some arsonists of the Freedomite sect. At Oakalla Prison Farm where several hundred are now incarcerated, they continue to issue their proclamations and com- muniques accusing the government and the public of being prejudiced against them. pee The question is: who is prejudic- ing whom? This is the riddle that has baffled Canada ever since Pe- ter Vasilivich Verigin brought his people to Brilliant, British Colum- bia, and called it the Promised Land. I viewed this land again from the Castelgar airport. It is an en- chanting valley situated at the confluence of the Columbia and Kootenay rivers. The orchards and farmland which stretch for miles through fertile meadows are still watched over by the huge brown frame houses where Doukhobors lived communally in the days of their brief utopia, some 30 years ago. Today most of these houses are inhabited by members of the Orthodox Doukhobor group who have posted “No Trespassing” signs and who keep uneasy watch for Freedomites who may be carrying fire bombs or sticks of dynamite, or both.
Page 51
THE MAD, BAD DOUKS To outsiders the Doukhobor deb- acle seems like a tragi-comedy which the British Columbia authorities should have called off years ago. But because the issue is religious liberty and by virtue of the fact that the Sons of Freedom do not seem ever to resist arrest, but rather welcome it as martyrdom for their cause, the situation is extremely delicate and complex. Studies of the problem have been made by soci- ologists, educators, psychiatrists, as well as by legal experts, but none have come up with a workable so- lution. Evidently no authority wants to follow public opinion which 51 bluntly advocates, “Drive them out!” Will the present uprising be the end? Will the Freedomites make good on their threat that “We will scorch the earth so that Jesus can begin a new society on earth?” It is anyone’s guess, Those who burn their homes and strip and chant while the flames crackle and the mounties watch, say that every new fire is a “telegram to God.” But what the telegraphic message is sup- posed to be remains the mystery. It is doubtful whether God Him- self knows just what it is the Sons are trying to convey. — THEY WILLED THEMSELVES TO DEATH HE RESULTS of belief in witcheraft are real, accord- ing to Dr. R. J. W. Burrell of the Bantu Cancer Registry, Cape Province, South Africa. Addressing a recent symposium on the causes of heart attacks at Henry Ford Hospital in De- troit, Mich. Dr. Burrell said he had reached this conclusion after investigating scores of mysterious deaths among the Bantu in South Africa. Dr. Burrell told of seeing a Bantu witch point at a man and predict that he would die before -sunset. The man, Dr. Burrell stated, went home and died within the time limit. Heart disease, he reported, is extremely rare among the Ban- tu because their diet consists almost wholly of carbohydrates. But he has seen the natives struck. by death as sudden as that from heart failure. Au- topsies failed to explain these strange deaths, and chemists were unable to find any evi- dence of poison, Dr. Burrell Said. He believes such sudden, in- explicable deaths occur because the Bantu die at will. Although perfectly well, he said, they just lie down in their huts and fall into a sleep from which they never wake up again.

Ocello HEN I was a small child I had a very bad sinus condi- tion, and nothing I took relieved the pain for very long. It seemed that the older I got the more seri- ous the condition became. By the time I reached 17 I was missing school, and when it rained I was unable to leave the house. One evening in 1957 I was lying on the bed with an exceptionally bad headache. I remember praying to go to sleep and never to wake up, because the pain was so bad. Then I looked up at the window “and saw a bright purple cross with a kind of silver halo around it. I closed my eyes a couple of times but when I opened them again it _was still there. I lay still for a couple of minutes just staring at it. Then I fell asleep. When I awoke a couple of hours later the cross was gone, and so was my pain. It hasn’t bothered me for five years, and I know that 53 when it does, I will only have to turn to God and he will help me as before. Only this time I will ask for help and not release—Sé. Louis, Mo. GREAT GRANDMOTHER’S CURSE By Patricia Ann Kremer HILE GROWING UP TI heard the story of my great grandmother’s curse many times. All her life Nancy Tony was cursed with a dream of death. She would dream of a chariot drawn by white horses which would stop before the old family home and whoever came out the door was the one to die next. She had this dream for members of her family and later for her children and also for many in-laws and friends. My family history tells me that at the end of her own life she had this dream and this time the chariot came for her. They say she laid out her burial clothes the day before she died. As I grew older I forgot this story
Page 54
54 of my great grandmother, Nancy, until I had a dream which recalled the story to my mind. In February, 1953, I dreamed that my great grandmother came and told me the chariot was coming for my grand- mother, Mrs. George McLeod, and that I must not be sad as my grand- mother was going to a place of beauty and peace. The morning after this dream I worried all day and finally called my mother who lived in Mt. Shasta, Calif., close to my grandmother to see if Grand- mother was well. Mom said Grandma was well and happy and had not had a sick day all winter. But three days later I received a telegram saying my grandmother had died’ quietly in her sleep.— Redlands, Calif. eis HARTFORD CIRCUS FIRE By Harriet E. Stanton On THE MORNING of July 6, 1944, my friend from Rock- ville, Conn., called me by telephone at my home in Monson, Mass., and asked me to meet him in Hartford to go to the circus. But it seemed that a spirit voice was telling me, “Don’t go to that circus.” “No, I~can’t go to that circus today,’ I replied. T usually look forward to a day at the circus and my friend spent several minutes urging me to go. I would not, however, go against my FATE strong intuition to stay away. I finally agreed to meet him in Hart- ford and go to a movie. He met me at the train and again begged me to go to the circus. “If you don’t want to go to the circus,” he said, ‘‘Let’s at least ride out to the grounds and perhaps we can see © some of the animals outside of the tents.” I reluctantly agreed to this com-. promise. The circus bus was crowded and I was fortunate to get a seat. A woman with a little girl was stand- ing nearby. I offered to hold the little girl on my lap. She was the sweetest, prettiest child, with big blue eyes and a pink ribbon bow in her long curly hair. When we reach- ed the circus grounds all of the pas- sengers, except my friend and me, went into the big tent. We didn’t see any animals out- side and my friend again begged me to go inside. But an urge to get away from this place was so strong ‘that nothing could induce me to enter that tent. T suggested that we walk to a park a short ways away and watch the tennis players. After spending about 20 minutes at the park we started to walk back to the entrance to the circus grounds to take the bus back to the city. Before we reached the bus stop I noticed that people were coming out of the tent, and then I saw flames shooting out
Page 55
TRUE MYSTIC EXPERIENCES from the top of the tent. The scene that followed was so horrible that I covered my eyes and turned away. One hundred and ninety six were killed and 682 were injured. For several days afterward the newspapers published the picture of a little girl killed in the fire. It was the same little girl who had ridden on my lap in the bus. No one ever claimed her body or iden- tified her. I certainly thank God and my spirit loved ones who, I am con- vinced, saved my friend and me from death or injury by impressing me to keep out of that tent—don- son, Mass. ~~ THE PHANTOM TRAIN By Thomas Phillips Or JANUARY 10, 1960, I was in Bellville, Tex., on a busi- ness trip. Leaving Belleville at dark I was going on to Sealy, Tex., for my next stop. As it would be too late to transact any business in Sealy that. day I decided to drive slowly and relax. Driving along about 40 miles an hour, listening to my radio and turning from one station to anoth- er but finding nothing pleasing, I at last drifted off into thought. Thinking about nothing in particu- lar, I noticed that the road was almost deserted. I could see the lights from only two cars in the dis- 55 tance. I can recall nothing that would have prepared me for what was about to happen. Going down a slight grade, I suddenly realized that something was happening just off the road to my right, maybe 200 or 300 feet ahead. There seemed to be a cloud of fog moving slowly toward the road. As I approached, I saw an old style locomotive emerging from the very midst of the cloud and moving into the road in front of me. Being. very close I applied my brakes. As I watched the engine move across in front of me, I realized that there was not a light of any kind on it. Nor were there any crossing lights, signs or signals. I became very angry and from the bottom of my heart condemned any- one who would be so stupid as to tun a locomotive across a State Highway without any warning. Then I noticed that even though my car had excellent lights they were failing to light up the engine. I could see very clearly the road between the front of my car and the engine, but when they should have shown upon the engine they just didn’t. The engine seemed to be lighted from a source entirely apart from the lights of my car. But as it moved across the road it came between me and the cars in the distance and I could not see their lights any more.
Page 56
56 The engine slowly passed and was followed by freight cars. As I sat there watching them go by I could see the light from the horizon between them but I still could not see the lights from the automobiles in the distance. As freight car after freight car passed I kept waiting for the caboose but it never came; the last was just another box car. Then suddenly the lights of the automobiles reappeared in the dis- tance. And my great surprise came when I realized that there was no sign of a railroad bed, not even a break in the pavement where one ‘ever had been. Driving on down the road, I felt I just had to share this experi- ence with someone, so I stopped at a little roadside restaurant. Inside I struck up a conversation with the fellow who ran the place, and after a moment or so I told him what I had seen. He hesitated, but finally told me there was no rail- road anywhere in the area. When I asked him what he thought of it, he muttered, “It’s a warning.” He seemed not to want to continue the conversation. After stopping at another place and receiving about the same reaction I decided to pur- sue it no further.—Pasadena, Tex. “\_ HE SAID GOOD-BYE By Erna Schuiling "ID EUBEN DAHL, Walter Schuil- ing, and I were on our way FATE to class early one morning in 1940 at Bemidji State College in Min- nesota. It was Monday and I was chattering along about my Satur- day night escapade. Reuben paid only absent-minded attention to me and finally broke into my con- versation. “Dreams must certainly come from the very bottom of our mem- ories at times,” he said. “Sunday night I dreamed of a fellow I haven’t seen for three years and even then I didn’t know him very well. He was just someone in the small town where I grew up.” “What was the dream?” I asked, curious because Reuben seemed genuinely troubled. “Herb Anderson— that’s the name of the fellow—was going along the street shaking hands and saying good-bye to everyone he met. Those he spoke to wore sad expressions as if it was an unhappy ~ trip he was about to take. He even shook hands with me although I’m a lot younger than he is and he just knew me as one of the kids around town. I still have an unhappy feel- ing left over this morning,” he fin- ished. “Tt’s probably connected with something that’s happened lately or maybe you’ve seen someone who reminds you of him,” I offered. “Could be, but I haven’t even thought of him in years,” Reuben said skeptically. He shrugged his
Page 57
TRUE MYSTIC EXPERIENCES shoulders and we talked of other things, Later, when Reuben’s weekly letter from his mother arrived, he called me. “Do you remember the dream I told you? Well, come over here and read part of my mother’s letter.” I read the part he pointed out: “J don’t know if .you remember Herb Anderson or not. He used to work at the feed store. Anyway, we were all shocked last Monday to hear that he had died unexpectedly in his sleep the night before.” — San Bernardino, Calif. ~{ DOUBLE IN DIAMONDS : By H. F. Strain NE NOVEMBER night in 1948 my mother, Etta Strain, removed her valuable diamond ring and placed it on the night stand beside her bed when she retired, as she had done for many years. Dad slept in another room. The house was closed and all doors and windows were securely locked. When Mother awoke the next morning the ring was gone. She and Dad turned the house upside down looking everywhere for the ring, without success. She was broken-hearted, for my dad had given her the ring many years be- ~ fore. Detectives came but could find no sign of any forced entry. Anyway if someone had entered her room at night my mother would fee H. F. STRAIN have waked at once as she was a very light sleeper. About six months later Mother woke one morning to find her ring lying on the night stand, along with another ring which was its exact duplicate. The same condi- tions existed as before. The house, — every door and window, was closed and securely locked and again there were no signs of forced entry. At first Mother thought it could be some kind of phony joke. But Dad took the rings to a reputable jeweler who pronounced them both genuine and of equal value. Moth- er’s own ring could be identified by the mark inside. Mother and Dad have since passed away. My sister, who lives in Los Angeles where all this hap- pened, still has the rings. But the mystery never has been solved — Santa Barbara, Calif.

58 ri Ax ~~ © DOOMED. ROOMS By Clarence S, Benedict WAS INVITED in the spring of 1936 to help Rev. Katherine McCarthy Miller, pastor and foun- der of a Spiritualist Church, pre- pare her Fraiser Spiritualistic Camp at Vicksburg, Mich., for the com- ing season. The camp was to be reopened after many years and visitors were expected from all over the United States. I was to welcome the guests and show them to their rooms. I had taken a room on the main floor at the rear of one of the dor- mitories. I was sitting on my bed unpacking my things, putting my clothes in the dresser drawers, when suddenly I felt fear, as if something threatened me. Something would happen to me! _ I tried'to forget it, but the feel- ing remained. There was no reason for it. I heard no voice, nor saw anything, living or dead. Immediately I packed my things and went to Reverend Miller’s cot- tage, explaining that I was going home. She was quite concerned, but suggested “Take a room at the front of the dorm.” There, I had a repeat perform- ance. I had only opened my suit- case, when the same fear struck — only stronger. FATE By this time I had made up my mind; Reverend Miller would have to get someone else to take over. A week later Reverend Miller visited me at my home. When we were seated in the living room she said, “I have a letter from Mrs. Fraiser.” She started to read, “Dear Reverend Miller. We had a bad storm here. Lightning struck an old tree, splitting it about four feet from the top and throwing it high into the air. When it came down it struck the side of the building on a slant. The point penetrated right into the center of the bed in the room at the rear. It’s a good thing you hadn’t rented it yet; someone very easily could have been killed. “Also,” the letter continued, “the downstairs porch collapsed and was hanging across the front of the building where there was consid- erable damage. It took building jacks to put it in place again. The rest of the camp was also a mess, with branches all over the entire place.” Reverend Miller stopped reading and asked, “I don’t suppose you would consider going back and helping me out?” I said, “yes.” I knew it would be OK now.— Grand Rapids, Mich.

the GUEST was a GHOST Being an Amazing Chronicle of the Unexpected Visit paid by Mrs. Veal upon Mrs. Bargrave in the Year of Our Lord, 1705. RS. BARGRAVE, a housewife in Canterbury, England, was sewing in her parlor when she heard a knocking. She dropped her work and opened the front door. Outside stood her friend, Mrs. Veal. Mrs. Veal looked very well and was styl- ishly dressed in a riding habit. Mrs. Bargrave expressed her surprise at seeing Mrs. Veal. She would have expressed far more than mere surprise had she 59 By, Wiliam W. Ayre known that at that moment the friend who stood before her al- ready had been dead for 24 hours! The apparition that confronted Mrs. Bargrave is among the most notable supernatural phenomena of all time. Because it was investigated and chronicled by the great author, Daniel Defoe, an accurate report of the occurrence has come down to our time although it took place September 8, 1705.
Page 60
60 As a result of Defoe’s investiga- tions we know that Mrs. Bargrave and Mrs. Veal had been friends since childhood, for about 30 years. Defoe was well qualified to com- ment upon the personal relations between the two women since he himself had been acquainted with Mrs. Bargrave for more than 15 years. The lives of both of these young Englishwomen had been touched with hardship and for a long period they had found comfort in one an- other’s company. They were known to have found solace together read- ing books on the hereafter, partic- ularly one book. During their early relationship, Mrs. Veal had financial difficulties and Mrs. Bargrave often extended a helping hand. Mrs. Veal, who lived with a brother, also was de- scribed as being subject to fits, probably epilepsy if a modern diag- nosis were possible. Although Mrs. Bargrave appar- ently enjoyed better financial cir- cumstances, she was said to have had a cross to bear in the person of a “mean” husband. Mrs. Veal’s financial status ul- timately much improved when in- fluential friends found a rewarding job for her brother in the Dover custom-house. As her economic posi- tion began to improve, Mrs. Veal dropped her old friend. Then Mrs. Bargrave moved to Canterbury, FATE about 10 miles from Dover, and the two childhood friends were truly estranged. After a separation of more than two years, it is no wonder that Mrs. Bargrave gave a startled cry when she saw her old friend at the door. Mrs. Bargrave is reported to have expressed her surprise at seeing Mrs. Veal. Then, suppressing the vexation she must have felt, she bent forward impulsively to kiss her old friend. Mrs. Veal instantly “drew her hand before her eyes” — saying she was not very well—and thus avoided physical contact. As she stood in the doorway, she told Mrs. Bargrave she was “going on a journey” and had an over- whelming desire to see her friend before starting on it. This news nonplussed Mrs. Bar- grave, as she knew how unpredict- able and severe were the fits to which her friend was subject. She asked if Mrs. Veal’s brother had given her permission to travel alone. Mrs. Veal replied she had given her brother the “slip” and wanted to see her, before starting on her journey. She followed Mrs. Bargrave into the room where the latter had been sewing, and sat in the armchair which Mrs. Bargrave had used. She repeated that she really had come to renew their friendship, and to beg her pardon for breaking it
Page 61
THE GUEST WAS A GHOST so abruptly. Mrs. Bargrave told her in a kindly way she had no hard feelings about it, adding she had thought that the advent of prosperity had affected Mrs. Veal as it did most other people. The conversation went on in this normal, human fashion for some time. Mrs. Veal reminded her friend of her many kindly acts to her, and of the comfort they both had derived in reading Drelincourt’s Book of Death. She also mentioned the titles of some other books on the same subject, but said that she thought Drelincourt’s was the best. Learning that Mrs. Bargrave still had the book, she asked that it be brought to her. When the book was brought, she made no motion to examine it but spoke in loftly tones about the here- after, saying that if the eyes of faith were as open as are human eyes for material things, legions of angels could be seen guarding the afflicted. With much emotion, she clasped her knees—assuring Mrs. Bargrave that she, too, would ul- timately be relieved of the things which had been afflicting her. As the talk continued then Mrs. Veal referred to a religious work, and also to a book of poems. Being told by Mrs. Bargrave that she had copied the poems, Friendship in Perfection, she asked for them and when offered the script asked her friend to read them to her. 61 Abruptly, she asked, “Do you think I am greatly changed by my fits?” Mrs. Bargrave answered that she had never seen her looking better. More than an hour passed in this manner. An inquisitive neighbor later testified to the time. Mrs. Veal then asked Mrs. Bar- grave to write a letter to her broth- er stating that she wanted him to give some of her rings to several persons, and that there was a purse of gold in her cabinet from which she would like him to give “two broad gold pieces” to her cousin — a Captain Watson who lived in Canterbury. Mrs. Bargrave said it would be better for her to write the letter herself, but Mrs. Veal answered that she couldn’t do it herself — _ for reasons Mrs. Bargrave would soon learn. She became so excited at this moment that Mrs. Bargrave thought her friend was going to have a fit. However, nothing hap- pened, and Mrs. Veal continued to insist her friend write as asked and, moreover, record in detail their con- versation. At this, partly to quiet her friend, Mrs. Bargrave took hold of her skirt and praised its quality. Mrs. Veal said the garment was of scour- ed silk and newly made up. After another moment or two Mrs. Bargrave got up to find pen and ink, but Mrs. Veal told her not
Page 62
62 to write then, but later, after she had left. Mrs. Veal inquired about Mrs. Bargrave’s daughter. Mrs. Bar- grave said she was with a neighbor and offered to go and get her. Mrs. Veal agreed she would be happy to see her. When Mrs. Bargrave returned Mrs. Veal was out of the house. Mrs. Bargrave asked her why she was in such a hurry to go, where- upon Mrs. Veal said she must be on her way, but might not start her journey until Monday, adding that she might be able to meet her friend at her cousin Watson’s house. Then she slowly walked off, and was lost to view by a turn in the street. The following day, Mrs. Bar- grave was ill, and did not leave the house. On Monday morning she sent her maid to the house of Cap- tain Watson to learn if Mrs. Veal was there. Word came back she was not there nor expected. Amazed at this news, she dressed and went in person to the house. Captain Watson was not there but Mrs. Watson said she wondered at Mrs. Bargrave’s questions, for - they had no idea Mrs. Veal was in Canterbury. When Mrs. Bargrave said Mrs. Veal had been with her for nearly two hours on Saturday, everybody in the Watson house- hold was astounded at the news. At this moment, Captain Watson FATE came in from a trip, evidently from Dover, and announced that Mrs. Veal had died at noon, September 7, one day before her spirit was seen by Mrs. Bargrave. When Mrs. Bargrave described the dress of scoured silk, Mrs. Wat- son exclaimed: “You must have seen her, for none but Mrs. Veal and myself knew that the silk was scoured.” Other details proved that Mrs. Bargrave had been conversing with the spirit of her friend for more than an hour. Further facts came to Mrs. Bar- grave’s mind, as she repeated the story to interested listeners, such as Mrs. Veal saying her sister and brother-in-law were coming from London to see her. And they had come, just as she was dying in Dover. At one time Mrs. Bargrave offered her friend tea, but as she got up to make it Mrs. Veal said not to bother. She also told Mrs. Bargrave that a Mr. Bretton had been allowing her 10 pounds an- nually, which was not known to Mrs. Bargrave to that moment. Although Mr. Veal strongly pro- tested the possibility that his sister had appeared in spirit form to Mrs. Bargrave, he later confessed that the concealed purse of gold was found, although not in the cabinet but in a comb case. This account deserves an honored place in the annals of psychic re-

It was intensely in- very first reports made by persons vestigated by the best-qualified in- of known good health and upstand- _ vestigators the times could offer, “. -_IS GRAVITY GROWING WEAKER? OR SOME 350 years, ever since the time of Sir Isaac Newton, science has assumed that the force of attraction be- tween two objects is a constant. Most physicists and astrono- mers today uphold this tradi- tional view, but in recent years a small group has come to be- lieve that gravitation may les- sen with time. Proof of this theory could have profound effects on many areas of science. It could change the history of the earth, the solar system, the galaxy and the universe—and also the his- tory of man on earth. How gravitation may weak- en as time passes was explained recently by Dr. Robert H. Dicke, Professor of Physics at Prince- ton University’s Palmer Physi- cal Laboratory, and a spokes- man for the group favoring this theory. In a science broadcast for the voice of America, Dr. Dicke stated that evolutionary views of the origin of the uni- verse suggest that as the uni- verse ages distant matter may have a greater effect on gravi- tation at any point in the uni- verse. For as the universe ages, gravitation is able to travel farther through space—presum- ably at the speed of light—en- abling distant matter to exert a gravitational influence. The resultant weakening effect is not due to the increasing dis- tance of remote galaxies, Dr. Dicke pointed out, but to the fact that time allows increasing amounts of distant matter to exert a gravitational pull. Dr. Dicke acknowledged that the view that gravitation may be weakening is not in accord with Hinstein’s theory of grav- itation, but he stated that there are reasonable alternatives to Hinstein’s theory. He suggests the use of an artificial satellite as a gravita- tional clock to test the theory that gravitation is weakening. Comparisons between the gray- itational clock and a high pre- cision atomic clock would re- veal the validity of the theory within five years. a ene

IS THERE LIFE ON EARTH? By Henry A. Bott Science Editor of FATE FATE does not publish fiction; still, there comes a time when even purisis may enjoy a cosmic joke. NOUGH HAS been written and enough has been displayed over the Planetary Video Network in the last 10 years to make almost any discussion of the nearly coinci- dental (remember, it was within three Terran months) launching of Mars-Terra and Terra-Mars space vehicles purely redundant. Many of us, harking back to 1982, recall the rational skepticism with which we viewed the concep- tion of intelligent life existing any- where in the Solar System. The Scientific journals of the time often presented articles purporting to 64 show from a strictly analytical point of view, the extreme unlikelihood of organic life existing anywhere but on Earth. We need not blush for this my- opic attitude. The Martians, basing their views on equally rational grounds, assumed precisely the same — Martian life was unique. Both planets know differently now, as the arrival of the seventh Martian spaceship three days ago certainly confirms — not to mention the launching from Lunar Base ILI yesterday of the sixth transport, the GALILEO.

Professor Leth (those monosyl- labic Martian names transliterate rather easily into a graspable Eng- lish) of the Martian Academy of Science had the courtesy to release for our information — and amuse- ment —a scientific paper published in the journal of that august body only a year before the Martian vehicle VENTURE I, was launched into its long trajectory to Terra. The paper, as you will see, was re- garded as a most detailed and rea- soned analysis of the “Third Plan- et”, as the Martians refer to Earth. The paper follows, essentially in its entirety, with a few changes and omissions intended to make it more intelligible to the Terran reader — 1.€. @ Martian vel is not the same thing as a Centigrade degree. On the Improbability of Life on Earth, Martian Academy of Science, Vol. 17, pp 140-149, “1891.” HE FORTHCOMING launch- ing of the space vehicle Ven- ture I to the vicinity of the surface of the Third Planet has brought forth in the mass media of com- munications, intensive speculation on the possibility of life, both sim- ilar to and unlike our Martian forms, existing on the Third Planet. As satisfying and encouraging to our egos as this would be, from the scientific point of view it can be asserted that the probability of life — used in the broadest sense of that word —existing on the Third Planet is vanishingly small. This assertion is not based on the pessimistic crabbing of unimagin- ative scientists, but rather on the dispassionate weighing of scientific evidence known to us from a host of hyper-sensitive instruments, rang- ing from spectroscopes through tele- scopes to laser probes—not to mention what remotely controlled rocket probes have told us. Let us examine this evidence, in detail. The over-riding fact, that the Third Planet is nearly 90 million kilometers ( a kilometer is 3,280.8 feet) closer to the Sun than is Mars, almost at once confirms the argu- ment. Consider what this means in terms of temperature and in terms of radiation. Bolometric observation has shown that the mean temperature of the surface of the Third Planet is of the order of 40 degrees Centigrade above ours. The rocket probe Hn- terprise 7, launched three years ago affirmed this measurement with re- markable accuracy, and while its telemetry was not good enough to ‘return visual images, its sensors for temperature and the like were more than adequate. It is true that in several places on the planet, the sensors recorded much lower tem- peratures; but these occurred in the presence of two-phase liquid-solid 65

66 water! No Martian biologist, by the widest stretch of his imagina- tion, can conceive of living matter enduring such a dreadful environ- ment. Dr. Fee, the bio-physicist from Pan University, has hypothesized that living creatures based on an- other elemental structure than sili- con —say, carbon or selenium — and with radical metabolisms — could conceivably exist even at these extraordinary temperatures, but he makes it clear that he has no ex- perimental evidence for this. It is purely an hypothesis. Now, let us consider the matter of radiation which, of course, is closely related to the planetary at- mosphere. Our Martian atmosphere of carbon dioxide and nitrogen with a smattering of water vapor at a modest pressure of 10 millimeters of mercury, contrasts violently with that of the Third Planet. Enough ultra-violet light can filter through our atmosphere to supply the life- giving radiation upon which the Martian ecology depends. But the poor Third Planet is blanketed with an atmosphere at 10 or 20 times our pressure and de- spite its closeness to the Sun, hard- ly any ultra-violet light filters through. Furthermore, gigantic clouds of water vapor weaken this radiation. Admittedly considerable quantities of radiation of a longer wavelength than ultra-violet do FATE pentrate this remarkable blanket of atmosphere, but on a scientific basis, we cannot say they can sus- tain life in any known form. We have in our technology photo-sensi- tive surfaces that will use this radi- ation, but the photo-cell and the photo-resistive surface are not life- forms. Often neglected by observers is the fact that the atmosphere of the Third Planet is not only at an un- believably high pressure (760 mm mercury!) but it contains almost, by volume, 20 per cent of an ex- ceedingly active, virulent, noxious gas — oxygen. As every elementary chemistry student knows this haz- ardous gas will react violently with many familiar materials when the environment is at a high enough temperature. In fact, the gas sus- tains a kind of chain reaction. Some have suggested that the other main constituent of the Third Planet’s atmosphere, nitrogen, damps the ac- tivity of the oxygen sufficiently to prevent it from reacting spontane- ously with everything. We might accept this explanation save for the fact that the Terran natural temp- eratures are so high. The rocket probe Enterprise 2 detected tre- mendous natural electrical dis- charges similar to the sparks we know. It is hard to believe that oxygen can remain unreactive under these conditions. Several Martian writers and two
Page 67
IS THERE LIFE ON EARTH? prominent scientists recently have argued that, however one chose to consider the bizarre chemistry of the Third Planet, he could not in good conscience ignore the immense amounts of low-frequency (much of it in the megacycle region)elec- tromagnetic radiation which eman- ates from it. The thesis often pre- sented is that this is an argument for the presence of an intelligent life-form. As scientists we cannot ignore this electromagnetic radiation; we posit, however, that- the cause of this radiation is entirely natural, electromagnetic noise no different essentially from that we receive from the stars on the 11 centimeter band. Our radio telescopes sense a good deal of this long wave radia- tion and often an enthusiastic ob- server will detect a regularity in the signal that he can only attribute to an intelligent transmitter. Statis- tically, it should be possible with the aid of computing machines to ana- lyze this “noise” for the presence of “messages”. Work of this kind is going on, but it is our belief that this will be a futile endeavor. Nev- ertheless, in accordance with the best traditions of the Martian sci- entific community this work will continue. For the present the evi- dence says this is statistical “noise” no different than that from an elec- trical discharge. It might be re- marked that any people, even in a 67 rudimentary stage of technological development, would have little use for low frequency radiation when directed short wavelength radiation is so effective. Parenthetically it should be noted that the emission of electromagnet- ic radiation of any kind by Martian life-forms as part of the biolog- ical process is restricted to very - high frequencies, as in the lumin- escence of several insects. Properly we do not think of this as a “trans- mitter.” We have long known of Terran gravity and the rocket probes have added a few more decimal points to our figures. It boggles the imagina- tion to invent in the mind an an- imal living in a gravitational field two-and-one-half times our Mar- tian standard. Inherently no bio- logical law forbids the growth of life-forms in strong gravitational fields, but when one looks about and sees how admirably Nature has contrived her Martian forms to cope with gravitation and yet permit lo- comotion, it seems a travesty to construct the immensely strong forms necessary to deal with the enormous field of the Third Planet. Simple physical law shows that the deflection of a homogeneous beam is proportional to the cube of the length and inversely proportion- al to the fourth power of the di- ameter. Observe the congenial form of a Martian animal or person and { t
Page 68
68 using the preceding relationship, imagine the changes in dimensions necessary to accomodate the crea- ture to a field of gravitation two- and-one-half times its present feli- citous one. Where we are slim, a mythical Terran would be thick; where we rest on light columns, that fictional creature would be support- ed by truncated pyramids. Of course, if the organic structure is not silaceous as ours one can imag- ine a modestly proportioned form, But then, in speculation of this fantastic kind there are no rules. Conceding for a moment the ex- isting of an intelligent Terran, can you imagine his efforts, assuming his civilization is advanced enough, to conquer space — as we are about to do? No, it would not be an en- viable position to be a Terran “sci- entist.” Gravity, over the long course of Terra’s geological existence, in con- junction with its corrosive atmos- phere, must have severely eroded the planetary surface to the point where it may be relatively smooth. The rocket probes have indicated a rougher surface and larger land- liquid water discontinuities than we can readily account for. The inhospitable surface of Terra is made more so by the presence of its satellite, although properly this is more of a duel planetary system than one of planet and satellite. The immense mass of liquid water FATE is clearly observed to be affected by the motion of the satellite and this must be a devastatingly ero- sive process. The rocket probe Enterprise I, you will recall, was lost through our failure to evaluate properly the complex gravitational perturbations caused by the satel- lites of Terra. Even so it yielded valuable information used in the guidance of the subsequent probes and will be necessary in the con- templated manned Venture I. It might be noted while we are speaking of the probes, that the meaning of the strong magnetic — field surrounding Terra escapes us. We do not know its cause nor any effects it may have on the planet, nor indeed, whether it originated in the planet or in the satellite. Another piece of information highly inimical to the belief that there is life of any kind on Terra was also a product of the rocket probe Enterprise I. This was the the detection of strong natural radioactivity. While the data are meager, it is believed that uranium fission products were detected. This would indicate that either intelli- gent beings are working with nu- clear forces or that natural fission can take place. The former, because of the reasons we have been giving in this article, is improbable. We must conclude, therefore, that con- trary to what we at first believed the fission of uranium 238 does oc-
Page 69
IS THERE LIFE ON EARTH? cur naturally under certain circum- stances. In view of the ferocious ecology of Terra in terms of its chemistry it is not difficult to extrapolate an environment in which circumstances are such that critical masses of uranium 238 can meet. The combination of low Terran radiation, high gravity (and con- comitant high density) and high temperature leads to another anom- aly. Because of our normal atmos- phere pressure, we are essentially in radiation equilibrium with our sur- roundings. Energy is transferred by radiation—for us. But what can we say of the Ter- ran environment? It is believed that so little energy is transferred by radiation in Terra that the bulk of energy exchange must be by con- duction (!) or—and this is hard to imagine— by convection! We know the latter process in chem- istry. We think of conduction and convection in rocket motors and re- actors. We do not imagine an en- vironment where living things ex- change energy in this way. We are forced to say —it is conceivable, even possible — but improbable. Dr. Fee, whose work in bio-phys- ics we mentioned before, while re- taining his firm conviction that the possibility of life on the Third Planet is extremely remote, sug- gests a conceivable ecological bal- ance on Terra in which we might i 69 visualize Martian life-forms exist- ing. He asks us to imagine the familiar - desert plant corl, the hardy, leafy silaceous structure of which is spread over a large area in order to drink in ultra-violet radiation, transferred to the hostile regions of the Third Planet. He asks, “Can we imagine this plant surviving in that environment?” The answer is yes —vunder very restricted circum- stances. If the corl was located in a Ter- ran region near the planetary equa- tor, it might possibly absorb enough ultra-violet radiation to survive, or given time, it might adapt to the relatively low-level radiation. It might even change its structure so as to cover more area with its fixed mass. Now, Dr. Fee points out that even with adequate radiation there is the enormously high temperature of the dense atmosphere of the Third Planet to contend with. The corl would shrivel into silaceous dust in minutes under this thermal shock. But, Dr. Fee remarks, there is a solution and we should note its in- genuity. Imagine, he says, that in some unfathomable way, liquid water is used to cool the cori! That is, either periodically or perhaps continuously, the corl is bathed in this cooling medium while still-able to absorb the ultra-violet. In such — an unlikely situation one might say
Page 70
7O that Martian life could adapt to the fiercely hostile Terran climate. It must be remembered that this is no more than a fantasy, plausible and attractive, but still, a fantasy. We have examined the-chemical, physical, and conceivable biological characteristics of the Third Planet with the objectivity that the rela- tively sparse data from our instru- ments permits. Unfortunately we must conclude that the probability of finding any living creatures on Terra, much less intelligent life there, is negligible. This disappoint- ing verdict will annoy the philoso- phers and scientists of earlier times who, all through Martian history, have hoped someday to find some- where in the Solar System, life other than our own. This hope, in the light of recent technological advanc- es, particularly inethe development of instrumentation and rocket prob- es, appears to be a futile one. Of course, a reservation must be made. We are not omniscient, and while we believe that the laws of physics, chemistry and biology ap- ply universally, there may be eco- logical systems beyond our farthest imaginings. We can only go that far in suggesting that Terran life is conceivable. Extrapolating strictly from logical principles, we must say that life on Terra, just as life on Venus or any of the planets of the Solar System is practically impos- sible. FATE How do these conclusions affect our planned exploration of Terra? They affect these plans not at all. The research groups have devised artificial environments which will preserve, in all essential respects, the conditions a Martian explorer must have in order to survive. We can readily construct a vacuum suit which will resist the enormous at- mospheric pressure of the Third Planet. We can provide this suit with a carbon dioxide-nitrogen at- mosphere at a 10 millimeter pres- sure. We are certain that we can make it of materials resistant to the ravenous oxygen-laden Terran at- mosphere. We will provide it with high frequency communications sys- tems and power it with servomech- anisms supplied with energy from laser beams slaved to it. Even the enormous Terran gray- ity will not stop us. While our in- terplanetary explorers are receiving training to strengthen themselves to cope with the continuous state of high gravity, plans have been de- vised for a space suit which is lit- erally a machine in itself and in which the muscular power of the Martian will be multiplied by the servomechanisms of the suit. In essence, a machine will be slaved to a Martian. The one region in which we can not anticipate every consequence, is the psychological. Imagine, if you can, the fantastic sense of lone-
Page 71
1S THERE LIFE ON EARTH? liness the Martian explorer will feel when he finally arrives on the Third Planet. How disturbing to the Mar- tian psyche this sense of isolation! As noble and inspiring as the idea of being the first Martian on the Third Planet will be, it will be ac- companied by the grim realization that a Martian is 2 unique figure in the Solar System, alone, a bringer 71 of life to an environment so inimical to life. The majesty of the victory will be tempered by the loneliness of the Martian soul. Life is a pre- cious Martian gift, and while we hope to find evidence of similar or dissimiliar life elsewhere in the Solar System, we know, both ra- tionally and in our hearts, that this is most improbable. THE JINXED IMITATION HOPE DIAMOND HE FAMOUS Hope dia- mond, now in the Smith- sonian Institution, brought mis- ery to those who possessed it for over 300 years. Even a $30 replica of the 45-carat jinxed gem reported has _ inflicted misfortune on its owner. In 1960 Gene DeRobertis, a Hartford, Conn., gem merchant, bought the midnight blue rep- lica gem, an exact copy of the “cursed” Hope diamond. Two days after he acquired the imi- tation, DeRobertis related, his father was killed in an acci- dental fall. Then DeRobertis, who states he never has been sick a day in his life, fell vic- tim to a rare sinus infection. Not long afterward, during a storm that struck Old Lyme, DeRobertis’ 18-foot boat sank. He lost a $20,000 consignment of diamonds when a jewel house in Florida was robbed early in 1961. Next, while DeRobertis was on a business trip in Or- lando, Fla., thieves broke into his hotel room and stole $150,- 000 in uninsured diamonds. It was the first time in his 30 years as a gem merchant that he had been victimized, DeRob- ertis said, although in that time he had handled millions of dollars worth of diamonds without incident. Deciding that his troubles were due to possessing the rep- lica of the unlucky Hope dia- mond, DeRobertis recently hurl- ed the stone into the Connecti- cut River. —

—THE POWER—— that turns back Elephant and Mau Mau The witch doctor remained in camp yet he left tokens which proved he was present at distant places also. ‘HE NIGHT was hot and the stretch of bush in which we were camped held a peppery aroma which made one feel breathless. Around us were the myriad noises of wild Africa, from the shrill p-r-e- e-e-k of the cricket to the distant roar of a lioness. With me was Jan Van Rensburg, a hunter of Afri- kaans descent, whose forebears had 72 By Guillan Hoppar pressed northwards at the time of the South African war back at the beginning of this century. Jan was making biltong — sun- dried strips of lean game meat which to the African traveller is like chewing-gum to the commuter on the New York subway. In fact it is more vital because whereas you can exist healthily on biltong you
Page 73
cannot hold out for long on bubble- gum. It was, of course, all quite illegal. Jan had no game license and no right to make biltong and for my part I was quite in the wrong sitting by his campfire under trees which were liberally festooned with strips of buckmeat speckled with condiments and already black- ened and shrivelled by the noonday sun. With him Jan had four Wanyike tribesmen — famous hunters who knew the area like a book. I had my two askaris both of them An- gonis whose forefathers, like Jan’s, had come from the hills of Zulu- land thousands of miles south across the Zambesi, across the Limpopo. I had a rendezvous with one of the strangest and most powerful magicians in Africa, Nzige the One, Whose name, by a freak of fate, means the same as mine — Hopper. The Mau Mau uprising which had started in the early months of 1952, now at the end of that year worried me because of the threatened pene- tration into Tanganyika from across the Kenya border to the north. I was relying on the power of Nzige to assist me in preventing this in- vasion. As we sat there that throbbing African night Jan played merry music on his big accordion. Sud- denly, -during a lull in the music, we heard the pulsating rhythmic rumble of a distant drum. One of 73 Guillan Hopper formerly served as a British Colonial Service officer in Central Africa and has traveled widely throughout that continent. Jan’s Wanyikas looked up at him. “Bwana,” he said, “a messenger comes for Bwana Serikali from far- away — from Sumbawanga.” “Bwana Serikali” meant me— Boss Government. I knew the mess- enger would be an official runner coming from some official or chief stationed in one of.the remote places to the south. “He will arrive when the moon is there,” he added, indicating a spot in the starry heavens. Evi- dently he would be with us in about two hours. Sure enough, in about that space
Page 74
ols of time he came loping into the circle of light cast by our fire. He was carrying his message, not in a split stick, but in a little leather pouch slung around his middle on a belt. I read the message and cursed. It told me that a large herd of ele- phants had crossed the Kuvu River and somehow or other had found their way through the swamps and now threatened a large agricultural area on which we had established a number of native “master farmers” upon whose efforts we relied to per- suade the rest of the tribes to adopt scientific farming methods. The elephant may be, as Ogden Nash says, “a useful friend” but he is also the farmer’s worst enemy. Just one elephant can wipe out the result of years of hard work, smash- ing down trees, uprooting crops, laying waste whole villages and gen- erally spreading havoc wherever he goes. Very often the trail followed by a herd of elephants is marked by famine amongst tribes who have been powerless in the face of such large scale destruction. The message was signed “Per- kins”, a newcomer with little experi- ence in the bush and no experience with elephants. So it meant I would have to fore- go my meeting with Nzige and set out immediately to deal with these marauding tuskers. I told the as- Raris to start packing my gear, had FATE — a final drink with Jan Van Rens- burg and was just about to hit the trail when, from out of the sha- dows, stepped Nzige, with three of his disciples. Nzige is an impressive figure in broad daylight but in the jungle at night by the light of the moon he is something else. There is an at- mosphere of sheer power — a power which surmounts the brutal sav- agery of the wilds — about him. “Jambo, Nzige!” I greeted him in Kiswahili. But he replied smoothly in flaw- less English, “Good evening, I am glad to see that you are in good health. But I see that you are about to go on safari. Had you forgotten that I was to meet you here?” I explained the menace of this vast herd of elephants to the neat little plantations lying to the south. “There is a great déal to be done,” I told him. “I have to or- ganize the drummers and set up the fires.” For the elephant is afraid of two things — drumming and fire. But such things need proper organ- izing and the tribesmen never would act with sufficient speed to halt the herd. “There is no need for you to travel, my friend,” said Nzige. At this the askaris looked up in wonder because, instead of using the cus- tomary term Bwana, the wizard had addressed me as friend. My two
Page 75
POWER THAT TURNS BACK ELEPHANT AND MAU MAU 75 askaris knew sufficient English to spot the difference. “T will deal with it,” said Nzige. “T will deal with it, now!” He called up one of his followers who came carrying a strange little Zanzibar chest, a delightful little box shaped like an old-fashioned portmanteau. It was covered in red leather and decorated with brass corners, a complicated design in brass dome-topped brads and a massive barred lock which might originally have come from China. This was Nzige’s medicine chest. It did not contain quinine, iodine or bandages, however, but a number of young goats’ horns, some small bunches of rare African herbs (some of them doubtless highly poisonous) and a set of Yi King sticks together with an ancient book on parchment. Nzige took out one of the goats’ horns, pulled the wooden plug which acted as a stopper and scattered a little brown powder on the back of his hand. At this I thought that the greatest wizard in Africa was just settling down to a discussion of the matter by taking a pinch of snuff. But he had no sooner sniffed up the powder than he seemed to go into an epileptic fit. He col- lapsed to the ground wriggling and - writhing in the dust; flecks of foam appeared on his lips. “Hey, man, he’s poisoned!” ex- claimed Van Rensburg scrambling to his feet. But before either Van Rensburg or I could approach the contorted figure on the ground we were detained by Dinax, one of Nzige’s followers. : “Nzige is leaving us. He will re- turn later. Do not worry,” said Dinax. Even as the henchmen spoke the figure ceased to wriggle and be- came rigid. Dinax covered him - with a great leopard skin and sat by his side watchful but tranquil. I turned to look at my askaris but they had withdrawn to some little distance. They were terrified. “Well, I would say that he’s dead,” said Van Rensburg. “He doesn’t even seem to be breath- hits oe “He’s not dead, Jan,” I replied, “but I don’t think ‘that his spirit is under that leopard-skin in that lifeless body.” We sat in silence, waiting. Nzige was “away” for about 90 minutes. And curiously enough, just before he went into this trance he had taken from a branch above him two strips of bilteng — each about nine inches long. But when his body stirred once again and we removed the leopard skin, the bz/- tong had vanished. I assumed he had swallowed it. Nzige got to his feet, swaying slightly. “You need not worry any more about the elephants,” he said. “They have returned across the swamps and are now on the banks
Page 76
76 of the Kuvu on their way back to the game reserve.” Something in his confidence in- spired me with the same spirit. I dismissed the message and the ele- phants from my mind without fur- ther misgivings. Now we began to talk about the gang of Mau Mau invaders I knew to be making their way down into my territory. My people were good but prim- itive folk who might fall easy vic- tims to the. pernicious Mau Mau philosophy which already had wrought so much deviltry up in Kenya. I outlined the matter to Nzige and he nodded his head. “For tonight I can do nothing more but when the sun rises I will deal with these evildoers who seek to dominate my people. Now we will relate stories of the old days when your father first came into these lands,” he said. So we sat there in the darkness on the edge of the campfire whose smoke kept away the mosquitos and the big cats, the leopards and lions, who might otherwise have been at- tracted by the smell of the drying biltong. Nzige related stories of a side of my father’s life of which I knew nothing. He told of great sa- faris, of mighty hunters, of giant rogue elephants and of the great tribe of Zimbas —a terrible army of desperate Zulu warriors which had once marched northwards only to disappear in the Benguelu swamp. FATE Eventually we slept and when I awoke Nzige had vanished. Van Rensburg, who was busy devouring a kudu steak, said that the great wizard had left during the hours of darkness. Only one sign indicated it had not been all a dream. On my battered old felt hat lay the sign of Nzige — a tiny carved ebony head of a negro. I was no longer under Nzige’s in- fluence and I at once decided to travel south to deal with the herd of marauding elephants. I called my askaris and set out at once. Three days later I arrived at Per- kins’ little white shack on some foothills overlooking the swamp. “Too late, Bwana!” said Per- kins with a grin. “About four nights ago an old fellow who seems to know you — he called himself Nzige —came up here to the house and said that he would turn back the tuskers. He borrowed a drum, played some weird rhythm on it and sure enough, off they went, back where they came from. Also, he gave me some of this vile dried meat.” And he held out two pieces of biltong about nine inches long. I questioned Perkins closely re- garding the appearance of the man who had called himself Nzige. No doubt about it, it had been Nzige. Once again I set off towards the north to deal with the Mau Mau invaders. Some days later I ar- rived at a point east of the north-

POWER THAT TURNS BACK ELEPHANT AND MAU MAU 77 ern extremity of Lake Tanganyika. The local police superintendent told me that for several weeks there had been signs of Mau Mau ac- tivity — Mau Mau arches, secret meetings and cattle killings. “Then, on the 15th,” he said, “a strange old bird, looked like a witch doctor, turned up here. He said his name was Nzige and that he was a friend of yours; in fact, he gave me this as proof .. .” And my friend Ronald Ferguson handed me my own signet ring. I had not even noticed the absence of my ring, even though I am ac- customed to wearing it day and night. And on the 15th Nzige and I had been sitting around Van Rensburg’s campfire nearly 300 miles to the south! Ferguson then related how Nzige had called together the headmen of the tribe and how they had drum- med and chanted strange melodies almost until dawn. Within the next day or two came reports that two of the Mau Maw envoys had quar- relled and that one had despatched his companion with a swift cut with a@ panga. Within a matter of hours of Nzige’s appearance and ritual there, apparently, the Mau Mau gang had fled back northwards to- wards Kenya. I have no explanation for these two incidents and certain relevant details I cannot relate because I am still governed by the Official Se- crets Act of 1911. Was it telepor- tation? Was it long-range hypne- tism? Was it just one more of the hidden secrets of African magic which we have yet to learn? I understand Nzige is in Moroc- co and has gone up into the Atlas Mountains. I haven’t seen Van Rensburg since March, 1953, when he was on his way south to the Union of South Africa with a big load of biltong (which sells for about a dollar a pound in Johan- nesburg). CAI) RENDEZVOUS WITH DEATH IVE HOURS AFTER being told his sister had dreamed he had been killed in an accident, a 23-year-old British motor- cyclist died in a collision with a bus. Raymond Saunders, of Swan- sea, Wales, laughed as he told his mother what his sister had said and then went out on his nightly ride. His mother sat up late that night and when a-policeman called she opened the door and told him, “I know. My son is dead.”

RUSSIANS photograph TREASURE UNDER THE SEA Typical sample of submarine riches —iron-manganese ore from ocean botfom—shows its unusual “nodule” formation. Iron and manganese are essential to modern technology. Reprinted from Soviet Union, Issue 145, 1962 HERE ARE immense treasure- troves on the floors of oceans. They consist of iron-manganese nodules, some of which may be up to eight inches in diameter. Where there are large accumulations, the ocean floor resembles a street paved with .cobblestones. These unique ore formations contain large quanti- ties of manganese (up to 40 per cent), iron (more than 20 per 78 cent), nickel, cobalt, copper and lead, as well as titanium and other rare elements. These nodules were discovered at the close of the 19th Century, but a detailed study was started only in recent years. Operating in the Pa- cific Ocean, an expedition from the Institute of Oceanology of the USSR Academy of Science took more than 400 sediment samples,

Can the Russians tap what their cameras have revealed—unique and valuable ore deposits that pave vast expanses of the ocean floor? photographed large areas of the ocean floor at 46 points and com- piled the first map of iron-man- ganese nodules. It has been estab- lished that in regions where the nodule beds are compact they oc- cupy nearly half of the total area of the ocean floor, and up to 90 per cent of the summits of some sub- marine mountains. It is estimated that there are 89,784,000,000 tons of this ore in the Pacific Ocean alone. But if account is taken of the fact that this valuable raw ma- terial also occurs in sediments to a depth of 10 feet at the least, it will be found that the above estimate is much too low. The question naturally arises if it is possible to bring this wealth to the surface. Experts believe it is, but they hesitate to say when. There will have to be ships equipped with special drags or hydraulic ar- rangements fitted with TV cameras, and also a technology that will make this venture expedient. The

80 Soviet Union has sufficient reserves of these minerals to last it for many years to come. But, as the saying goes, a little in reserve is no strain on the pocket, and if the develop- ' ment of the valuable pavements on the ocean floor turns out to be worthwhile we shall not reject it. oe Ses ’ HILE THE Russians have been busy photographing the bottom of the sea the Scripps In- stitute of Oceanography geologists in this country have been doing the same. Using a new type of undersea camera they recently photo- graphed the Japan Canyon 10,000 feet under the surface of the Pa- cific Ocean, off Japan. They had expected to find mud, said Fred Dixon, senior marine technician of the expedition aboard the institute’s 7,000-ton research FATE ship, Spencer F. Baird. Instead Mr. Dixon reports, they found sand, gravel and rocks, which the scien- tists believe were shaken loose from the slopes of the canyon by earth- quakes and undersea turbulence caused by typhoons and other storms which churn the surface of the ocean. This expedition reports that sim- ilar depths in other parts of the world normally are covered by mud. This does not agree with the So- viet findings reported above. Mr. Dixon added a discouraging note when he said their stereo-self- focusing camera, which is equipped with strobe light and sonar equip- ment and can take black-and-white and color photos at the same time, photographed discarded beer cans and bottles on the ocean floor 10,000 feet under water. —E DEAFNESS DREAMED AWAY EAF SINCE BIRTH, Mrs. Sarah Sutherland, 42, of Fralkirk, ‘Scotland, asserted recently that after dreaming she was talk- ing: to someone, she woke up and found that she could hear. “It was just.an ordinary dream,” she told the Associated Press. “I do not know what happened. I cannot explain it.” — NUMBING NUMBERS FTER waiting in line at the license bureau in Elmira, N.Y., Harvey McDonnell purchased his 1962 automobile license plates. Glancing at the numbers on the plates that were given him. he gasped in amazement. For the third year in a row he had come up with the numbers “4J 9436.”

The firing rifles and shouting voices sounded like a battle in progress. But it proved to be a case where— . YET psychic research does not appear to have a name for the kind of paranormal phenomenon which is not of a single phantom or haunted house, but rather of landscape proportions. In most cases it recreates.a tragic occur- rence of the past: a battle lost, a ship sunk, a train wrecked, a dis- astrous fire, even the rumble of an earthquake. There are numerous specific and classic examples in psy- chic literature. I wish to add two which have come to my personal at- tention. The following account of this na- ture came to me first hand from Nairobi, East Africa. It took place in 1942 when Paul Smiles, my cor- respondent, was serving there with the British Army. The spot where it occurred and probably still oc- curs on the anniversary of the bat- tle is within sight of Ernest Hem- ingway’s famed snows of Mount 81 TIME MARCHED BACKWARDS Kilimanjaro, which tower in ma- jestic grandeur above the great plains of thorny scrub. On one of his infrequent fur- loughs, with a native guide who was civilized and above average in intel- ligence, Paul had gone to shoot a pride of lions that had gotten them- selves outside the protective law through their raids on native stock corrals. In 1959 Paul Smile wrote me from Bristol, England, “By the time we had finished supper night had come down. By way of ma- chans two of the big trees had fastened to them ladders made of saplings. These makeshifts led up into the branches high above the ground. The two trees stood about 100 yards from each other. When I had selected my tree my guide warned me to be careful in climb- ing up because the sapling rope might have rotted. Having sat up
Page 82
82 for lions here before, he had erected the machans quite some time ago. With that he went to his tree and both of us climbed up under the canopy of heavy foliage and did our best to seat ourselves comfort- ably on the machan’s platform made of rough planks. The tree’s trunk served quite well as a back rest. My guide had told me that after the moon had risen the lions would come to drink at the pool a few rods from us. “Tt was a night of a near full moon and shortly the orb, like an over-sized orange, came up over the bush-topped slope and, as it rose higher, made deep pools of sha- dow beneath the trees in which we sat. On the surface of the pool, to which the lions would come for their nightly drink, the moon made a glassy glare, painful to eyes that had adjusted to the night. “As time marched on, the air be- came chilly, so that I wrapped my blanket about me. Sleep had started tugging at my eyelids when far away a lion roared. For a short time the cold, moonlit silence con- tinued and then several lions roared startlingly near. Suddenly they stood out boldly at a distance in the moon-washed night, where they had halted suspiciously, as if they were sensing rather than scenting an am- bush. At last they approached in ' little sorties, on a low, belly-down run, first one, then in twos and FATE threes. Then they stopped and stodd almost shoulder to shoulder. Another 50 yards would bring them to the pool’s edge and within easy range. I pushed my blanket off and readied my rifle. The agreement between my guide and myself was that I should shoot first. The pride still stood where they had stopped, definitely suspicious .. . “All at once one old fellow with a full, dark mane strode arrogantly out ahead of the others. With my sight on him he came to within a few yards of the glistening water and stopped short. Just as I was about to press the trigger, a rifle shot exploded from the direction of the tree in which my guide was perched. The lions scattered wildly, crashing away in the dark shrub- bery. At the same instant the bed- lam of battle rifle fire broke loose, as if hundreds of troopers had gone into action. Amidst this din sharp commands rang out in both English and German. The fusillades ensued time after time, interposed with ex- cited commands. Then came si- lence. rs “Not until I became aware that Simbia Mia Mbili— that was my guide’s name—was standing at the foot of my tree did I ease my- self down, stiff and shaky. “ “Did — did—you shoot?’ I asked, though I felt the question was uncalled for. ; “No, Bwana,’ Simbia told me.
Page 83
TIME MARCHED BACKWARDS “Then, what in the name of ...?’ “My guide set to explaining to me in pidgin English and in his native Swahili, ‘I did not expect you to shoot a lion, Bwana; not on this night, the night of the War Fight that was fought here 25 years ago tonight between your soldiers _and their enemy, the Germans. I have gone through it twice before and I couldn’t believe what I heard. T thought it was some kind of night- mare. I did not dare tell someone about it. They would have thought I had been bewitched by an enemy I didn’t know I had. I could not make myself brave enough to bring someone else here, and I could not get it off my mind. At last I could stand it no longer. That is how I got the courage to bring you, a soldier, here tonight to see if you would hear what I did. Now that you heard it in the same way I did, I feel better, Bwana. I do.’ “Beckoning me to follow him, Simbia said, ‘Come with me. I want to show you something.’ “T followed him through the brambles until we came to the open veldt where we then walked up a rise of ground. There under the tropical moonlight I saw them: rows of weather-aged crosses mark- ing graves amidst the scrub brush, graves of both British and German infantry. Outnumbered 10 to one, and maybe taken by surprise, the British regiment had been annihi- 83, lated. Since then every year on the fight’s anniversary night, Simbia ex- plained, the souls of the troopers came back and fought the battle over again.” In January, 1960, Cosmopolitan Magazine Author Eugene D. Flem- ing offers an explanatory theory for this kind of phenomenon. It is pos- sible, he suggests, that such phan- tasms have nothing to with survival after death, but are some ununder- stood aspect of the natural here- and-now. He advances one plau- sible, though imaginative theory pos- tulating the existence of a “psychic ether,” something like an ethereal TV tape, on which everything that happens is recorded and which, at a given time and place, under certain favorable conditions, may be reac- tivated and return. I had an experience of my own with a panoramic phantasm on Au- gust 10, 1957. My family and I were living at the time on an 80-acre farm, five miles northwest of Russell, Minn., a small village in the southwest part of the state. Our farmyard was close to the forested shore ef Wood Lake. I had a kennel of German Shepherds. My sire was a big ferocious police dog that had to be walked on a leash at all times. On this particular evening I was out with him in the early twilight giving him his daily exercise on the lake’s high embankment. The shore
Page 84
84 of the lake was obscured from my sight by the foliage of the trees. Suddenly the dog strained for- ward on the leash, indicating he saw or sensed someone or some- thing down by the water. Thinking it might be fishermen with whom I could chat, I let the dog pull me ‘ through the trees and down the steep bank. As we emerged at the shore what I saw stopped me dead. It was an Indian family, a mid- dle-aged man, his squaw and three or four youngsters. ‘They were dressed as Indians in the early days when the Sioux roamed the virgin, unsettled territory. I sensed they were not flesh and blood and, by his low growling and pulling for- ward on the leash, my shepherd gave the proof that he, too, was aware of something unusual about the scene. The wraiths, however, made no sound, nor showed any sign of being aware of our presence. They continued calmly their work of preparing over a campfire what appeared to be their evening meal, just as they must have done by this lake three-quarters of a century or more in the past. Having no desire to associate with ghosts I tugged the dog back and we hurriedly ascended the em- bankment. My intention was to call FATE | my wife, not telling her what she could expect to see! Our farmyard was only a short distance from the lake and my wife was outside. I called just a bit excitedly for her to come and it was only a matter of a couple of minutes before she joined me. When we returned to the lake shore the phantom scene was in — the process of etherizing out. Though I have walked that shore many times since then at twilight the scene never has materialized again. In this case the phantasm ap- parently did not have any associ- ation with a tragic past event, but was simply the etherization of a scene that must have been a com- mon sight on the lake’s shore in the days before white men settled the region. When I related the incident to an elderly neighbor, he first gave me a look of disbelief. But he recalled that when he was a young boy he had watched from a safe distance while Indians roasted skunks over a fire on the lake’s shore. Sometimes time marches back- ward and the Indians reroast the skunks, just as the British and Germans refight the old battle in East Africa.

; | FOLLOWED A GHOST By J. P. J. Chapman HIS EPISODE happened many years ago—between 1906 and 709, Father’s brother, William, lived at Orpington, in Kent. They had mutual business interests which brought them together at various intervals. They took turns visiting each other. I had three cousins, two boys about my own age and a girl who was older. My Aunt Clair - was a darling and I loved her very much, possibly because my own mother was dead and I felt here was somebody I could turn to. One summer it was, I went with Father to stay for a couple of weeks. Uncle William bred horses and I loved going out with them when they were exercised. I had a good “seat” for, from youth, I rode Fa- ther’s farm horses and even tried broncho busting on the cattle. On this particular visit the house was full of guests so I did not get my usual room. But here I must explain the layout of the building. From what I can remember I would say it was a Georgian structure, two stories high and facing South. One entered the house through a large oak door right into a big hall, facing a broad staircase. This went to a half landing, continuing to the first floor. At the top of these FATE will pay $5 for each story published in this department. Stories should deal with an actual experience proving spirit survival. They should be less than 300 words and typed (double-spaced) on one side of the paper. They should be sent to “Survival” Editor, FATE Magazine, 845 Chicago Avenue, Evanston, Ill. Manuscripts must give authors name and address and include a stamped, self-addressed return envelope. 85 stairs was a small room to the right, which seemed to be a builder’s after- thought. This landing went the length of the building with two very large windows at each end. The cross light made the middle of the hall a little dark, although there Was a-window on the stairs. On this particular occasion I was put in the room at the top of the stairs. The bed was comfortable— being a double one, which pleased me no end. I was duly seen into bed by the family’s Nannie who in- sisted that I must have a night light. I remonstrated, saying that at home I never had one and would she please , take it away. She observed that it was better in a strange house and a strange room; I might want it during the night. I waited until all was quiet, then slipping out of bed I blew it out, snuggled back into the sheets and pillow and was soon fast asleep. I don’t know when it was I woke up. The window was wide open, with brilliant moonlight outside, so it was half light in the room. Then I heard something in the hall. In my own home, unknown to my father, I used to roam the house at night. There was something eerie about it all, the dark corners, the ticking of the grandfather’s clock,

I had an electric torch and picking this up I crept to the door, which I silently opened. The land- ing, the half landing, and the hall looked eerie. I felt a thrill of ex- citement. It was mid-summer, so I did not feel cold. The hall and the stairs were heavily carpeted so my bare feet sunk well in. There was something or some- body down there. I knew that it was not the dogs, as they slept in a compound outside. However, one of them started a dismal howl, bay- ing the moon—or was it something else? I picked my way downstairs in the semi-light. At once I knew there was a “presence”. It seemed to be coming from the far end of the long passage that led from the hall to the kitchen. I could not see any- thing but I felt it getting closer. There was a slight wind as it passed by, making for the stairs, I followed it, close behind; still I could hear nothing but I could feel it. Whatever it was did not seem aware of me. We got to the half landing, then at the top it stopped outside my room. After a while it turned right at the top of the stairs and slowly went down the passage. At this moment I switched on my torch and could see in the heavy carpet the imprints of feet as they went along, great big heavy boots they were. Nothing daunted, I kept my torch on and followed up, putting my feet into the imprints as they were made. So we both proceeded the whole length of the passage. When we reached the far end I heard the sound of an opening win-

I thought it would never stop.” I produced a dead silence by re- plying, “He wasn’t baying the moon, Uncle. He only does it when the ghost is here.

However, he and my aunt later in the day asked me to tell the story. They listened carefully. My aunt wanted to know if I was frighten- ed. I said “Why should I be? Ghosts can’t hurt.

FATE let her in as soon as she thought I should, she would come around to the front window and put her little paws on the ledge and look in the window and watch me until I open- ed the door for her. Sally became ill about six months before she passed away. She had surgery but it only prolonged her life for a few months. Especially in her last month she suffered in- tense pain but was so patient and still only wanted to be near me. The morning Sally died she stood up and looked at me with so much love in her eyes and then her brave little spirit was gone. Only someone who loves animals and has lost a dog friend can realize how much I miss her. The afternoon of the day before this last Christmas, in 1961, I was sitting in the living room aimlessly gazing out the big window, when suddenly there was Sally looking in the window right at me with that worried expression on her face that I knew so well. It was no mir- age. It was real. I screamed, “There’s Sally,” and ran and opened the door. For an instant she looked right at me with recognition in her eyes, then some- thing like a thin black curtain blotted her out and she was gone.— Ponca City, Okla. “SHE TOLD ME” By Ella Rose Carnes N 1917 MY HUSBAND was ‘the pastor of the Ivanhoe Congrega- tional Church in what is now Munde- lein, Ill.

I was not well and when Eva became ill and kept ask- ing for me everyone refused to let me know. I kept waking in the night. from nightmares in -which I was asking her, “What is the mat- ter?” Still I could get no response. I had spent several sleepless nights. Then one morning about 4:00 o’clock I fell asleep. I remember hearing our cuckoo clock strike 3:30 and 4:00 o’clock. Sometime after that I waked from a very restful sleep. Sister was standing beside my bed, her hand on my shoulder, and she said, “It’s all right now, Sis.” About 9:00 o’clock our neighbor, Mr. Dolph, called my husband to the phone. I was sitting on the front steps when my husband came slowly back home. He sat down be- side me and put his arm around me. z Before he could say anything I said, “Sister is gone, isn’t she?” He said, “Yes, how did you know?” “She told me early this morning,” I replied.—Bloomingdale, Mich.

MY PROOF OF SURVIVAL beloved younger sister who had passed away 13 years before. She was in a simple white robe with a band of forget-me-nots about her waist. She wore a narrower band of the some flowers around her head. She looked young and radiantly alive. At first I was startled. Then such a wave of exultation swept through me that I could have wept for joy. All I could seem to say was, “Oh, Jinney! It is you! It is; it is!” And her voice reached me from what seemed a far place, but so clearly, “Yes, darling. It really is.” _ I had risen now and she was standing behind me. She placed her hand on my back and where it rested a warm, comforting glow began to spread. The pain which had been there for so long seemed to melt away beneath her gentle touch. I sighed, “Thank you, Jinney, dear.” Suddenly as it started it was over. Virginia had gone and I was alone again. Turning on the light I saw that it was 3:22. I stood still, flooded with a holy joy. My little sister had come back across the years with love in her heart and healing in her hands—for, as wit- ness to the healing power she brought, I have suffered no more pain in my back since those unfor- gettable two minutes which also contained all I need for my personal proof of survival—Hvanston, Ill. “BYE, BYE DADDY” By Ellen Erickson Y HUSBAND, Carl, had been sick with a heart condition for over three years.

FATE a little mimeographing business in my home. My son, John, was three-and-one- half years old and always took a nap in the afternoon. The afternoon of June 16, 1928, I had work I wanted to finish and deliver on my way to the hospital. John did not go to sleep and when I heard him talking I paused to listen and to my amazement this is what he was saying, “Bye, bye, Daddy. Where you going, Daddy? Bye, bye, Daddy.” I noted it was 2:45 P.M. and I felt I should go at once to my hus- band but I wanted to finish my work and collect the money we need- ed so badly. Eventually I dressed my son and we hurried along in our Model T Coupe. When I arrived at the hospital the head nurse was watching for me and met me down the walk. She took my little boy out of my arms and said, “Mrs. Erickson, your hus- band’s pulse started to go down at 2:45 and he died at 4:45.” It was now 5:15. It was 2:45 when my son heard his father say, “Bye, bye.’”? When my husband’s pulse started going down he realized he was dying and thought of us. My mind was full of - worry and hurry to get my work done. My son’s mind was clear and he got the message. How deeply I regret -that I did not stop my work and go right to the hospital. I always have felt that I should have been with my dear husband when he passed away.— Minneapolis, Minn.

I had been in Kelowna General Hospi- tal in Kelowna, B.C., Canada, for two weeks when on November 7, doctors decided that in order to Save my life they would have to induce the birth immediately. No anesthetic could be used because of the danger that my heart would fail. I had been in the case-room for some time and the birth process was well advanced when suddenly I felt myself floating. I could see my body on the table and the doc- tors and nurses around it. I floated further and further away and felt a wonderful sensation of well-being. I seemed to be in a place of glori- ous colors and lights, which formed continually changing patterns of beauty beyond anything earthly. I heard soft, exquisite music which seemed to blend and change as part of the color-light patterns. Words cannot describe the feeling of peace and happiness which came over me. As if from a long, long way off I heard Dr. J. S. Henderson’s voice calling my name, but I had no de- sire to return. Then I heard my baby’s first ery and I knew I had to go back. I was in a seemingly endless dark tunnel with a tiny light far ahead which grew brighter as I forced myself along. After what Seemed an eternity I was back on the table and saw the doctor hold- ing up my baby. He said, “You have been a long way from us. We thought you were not coming back.” This experience is still as real and vivid to me now as it was then, and I have often wished that I could find that place again.—Ke- lowna, B.C., Canada.

FLYING SAUCERS AND THE THREE MEN, by Albert K. Bender. Saucerian Books, Clarksburg, W. Va., 1962. 194 pages, $3.95. In 1958, Albert K. Bender of Bridgeport, Conn., one of the most active UFO researchers or “fans”, closed his International Flying Sau- cer Bureau (often referred to as IFSB). Since the Bureau had been doing fairly extensive research and had published its own bulletin, SPACE REVIEW, there was a great deal of mystery about the closing. In 1956, Gray Barker, a publisher and UFOlogist, published a book, They Knew Too Much About Fly- ing Saucers, in which he discussed all the UFO researchers who alleg- edly had been “silenced.” Albert K. Bender’s name led all the rest; in- deed the bulk of Barker’s book was concerned with the Bender case and he confirmed that Bender actually had been silenced by “three men in black.” Who the three men were remained a mystery. It was variously specu- lated that they were pranksters, FBI men, military imtelligence people Soviet spies, or visitors from an- other planet. One UFO publisher 97 BOOKS even charged that Bender had been silenced as part of a hoax perpe- trated by Gray Barker himself. But Bender never talked. He ob- viously was frightened and refused even to discuss UFO’s publicly. During all the years since 1958 the problem of the closing of IFSB and the termination of SPACE RE- VIEW has been one of the great UFO mysteries. Now Bender has revealed his great secret. This reviewer found it disappointing but he feels that, like any whodunit ending, it cannot be revealed without subtracting from the reader’s interest in the book. Suffice it to say that the whole Ben- der.mystery turns out to be another “contact” case. Despite Bender’s ob- vious sincerity we always have been . highly skeptical of this approach.— John C. Ross.

TOODDODDDIDLDO DDD DOL DDL ODODDDDODDDD FATE. still active in the game: Coral E. Lorenzen. As Director of the Aerial Phe- Romena Research Organization ¢€Tucson, Ariz.), Mrs. Lorenzen has had aeceess to unteld quantities of UFO lore for a good many years. Her contacts’ in South Ameriea are particularly unique, and have given APRO many “exclusives” in this field. But sources so far removed from home also can be a liability when one must depend too heavily on them. : APRO’s chief reporter for the South American scene is Dr. Olavo Fontes of Rio de Janeiro. Dr. Fon- tes has uncovered many spectacular events over the years, including an alleged rape of a Brazilian farmer by a somewhat uninhibited female from space, but not enough of these accounts have been sufficiently ver- ified for us to establish Dr. Fontes’ reliability at this stage. i Mrs. Lorenzen decided—extremely prematurely in this reviewer’s opin- ion—to accept Dr. Fontes’ elaborate theories regarding the hostility of UFO’s. Unfortunately, the data in her book do not necessarily coincide with that viewpoint, but it is pos- sible to interpret events in myriad ways. Members of APRO will find little, if anything, in The Great Flying Saucer Hoax not previously report- ed in The APRO Bulletin. UFO re- searchers generally will find many of the old stories—such as those concerning Gorman, Desvergers, Nash and Fortenberry—recounted for the umpteenth time. Chapters entitled “The First Landing” and “1954—Europe and South America” review numerous reports of encounters with “little”

NEW BOOKS sSaucerians—be they hairy creatures or well “disciplined pilots wearing tight uniforms. These stories are in- teresting, and occasionally hair-rais- ing. Their European counter-parts were related by French author Aime Michel in FATE (November, 1957), and later in his excellent book, Flying Saucers und the Straight- Line Mystery. Despite numerous pages on cen- sorship, Mrs. Lorenzen’s arguments regarding the subject are not fully convincing. “I believe the govern- ment is desperately attempting to solve the riddle of UFO propul- sion for its own purposes,” she as- serts, “and somehow feels that if its facts don’t get out it can keep its operations secret.” Devoted saucer fans unquestion- ably will want this volume for their bookshelves, but many others may wonder if they haven’t heard some of the stories just a few times too many.—Max B.

The author of this book writes with the positiveness and zeal of the staunch believer who has a mes- sage. His message is addressed to psychiatrists, which accounts for the title. Not that the author con- siders them devils, but rather that he feels they could learn something from so-called demon possession. He asserts that the “devils,” whom psychiatrists are wont to explain in terms of split personality, mul- tiple personality, etc., are in reality the so-called dead trying to experi- ence a little more earth life in a Vicarious way, often as a result of 99 OAHSPE THE LONG LOST UNCHANGED FIRST EDITION THE 1882 EDITION OF THE WONDER BOOK OF THIS AGE, PHOTOCOPIED FROM THE ORIGINAL, NOT A COMMA CHANGED! In 1891 John Ballou Newbrough and Andrew M. Howland issued a “‘re- vised and corrected’”’ edition of OAH- SPE. Because since 1885 the first edition could not be purchased any- where, the public has been unable to ascertain what these changes were. With this photocopied edition of OAHSPE the 1882 edition is once more made available. With the ad- vent of the Space Age, OAHSPE is being vindicated, and proven to be one of the world’s important books. UNEXPURGATED This edition of OAHSPE contains 928 pages. It also contains nearly three quarters of a million words. The Book of Cosmology might have been written by today’s space scien- tists! Much of the science in OAH- SPE has only recently been ‘‘dis- covered’’, Today space satellites are discovering ‘‘how it is’’ out in space, while in 1882 OAHSPE contained the same information!

Through the aid of spirit mediums,.the spir- its can be reasoned out-of their parasitical behavior and be in- duced to leave. These are familiar concepts in spiritualism, which has marshalled considerable evidence for them. The author, however, feels little need of documentation. He tells you what he considers is what and embel- lishes his discourse with few case histories. Actually, he is interested in much more than such immediate and ob- vious mediumistic therapy. His book is subtitled: “The Key to the Lib- eration of Psychiatry.’”’ He sees the psychiatrist as the logical per- son to develop a real science of man that shall do away both with the erroneous dogmas of religion and of present-day psychiatry which is so deplorably under the influ- ence of Freud. It is basic to his theme that much present-day con- fusion arises from denial of the soul, which is actually central in the cosmic plan. Indeed, man develops toward greater perfection through Many reincarnations of his personal soul; of this the author is certain. He believes that during the 16th Century he was a high prelate of the Catholic church. His special knowledge stems largely from many years of medi- umistie research “in contact with disearnate man . . . studying and analyzing the afterlives of many different people.” Well acquainted with Brazil, he describes three lev- els of spiritualism there, and coop- erative work between physicians and mediums. He sees large possi- bilities in the opportunity afforded the living to learn from the so- called dead, by communicating

NEW BOOKS through mediums. However, one spirit communicator told his re- search group “that for all our ef- forts we would be considered noth- ing but an insane group of para- noiac crackpots—whoever heard of men discussing sociology, medicine, theology, economics and politics with a dead person? Nevertheless, he recommended that we should persevere.” The author has done so, and expects—or, rather, knows— that he will enjoy the last laugh. Crackpot or not, here is a man who is intellectually alive. He ob- viously is a man of considerable learning and has the ability to handle words both cleverly and im- IOI pressively. His book is a rather drawn out, opinionated preach- — ment, but one well worth the ef- fort of reading.—Harold Steinour. MY DEAD STILL LIVE, by Erica Myers. Arthur H. Stockwell, Devon (England), 1961. 175 pages, $3.50. One must admire the persistence of Spiritualist authors. How many books must have been produced, often (as in the case of the pres- ent volume) at the alleged insistence of spirit entities, to provide “proof” of survival after death! Only in rare cases do the authors sell enough copies to make the effort worth- (Advertisement) Says Many People Can't Help Getting Rich “Many rich and successful men and women,” declares the author of a sen- sational 64 page. book,” have no more brains or energy than the average. They are usually driven to success. Frequently they are unable to stop making money even when they want ‘to. Their riches come in spite of them- selves.” The author gives a most astonishing formula for wealth and success which he developed while making four for- tunes—two for other people and two for himself. He declares that anyone can use this formula to gain Success permanently. The formula can be followed by rich or poor, in almost any job or business, trade or profes- sion. It is so simple that the book can be mastered in three hours. The title is GET RICH IN SPITE OF YOUR- SELF. The book has proved a sensation, Over 200,000 copies have been sold and thousands of people have written the author telling of riches piled up as a result of applying the principles in this book. The very simplicity of the formu- la causes it to be overlooked by most people. The entire book, containing the com- plete formula, is offered for only one dollar. The publishers are so certain of results for the reader that they are willing to make the following guar- antee: “If this book does not bring you at least $100 in extra earnings within six months, return the book for full refund of your $1.00.” Send your one dollar to The Book of Destiny, 64 Orchard St., Tarrytown, New York, for your copy, postpaid.

Despite this unencouraging state of affairs, Spiritualists go right on turning out volume after volume of little-read revelations. The present work is neither the best nor the worst, but considerably above the level of most. In evaluating “proof” of continu- ity of life, we must distinguish be- tween objective evidence and sub- jective evidence. The former—con- sisting of names, dates, places, and~ facts verifiable‘by empirical means— usually comes in short supply. The bulk of mediumistic “evidence” (as represented in this volume) consists of turns of speech, details of inti- mate association, and reminiscences of past events—all of which may well indeed be highly characteristic of the spirit entity during earthly life. But to one who did not know the communicator personally,” the sitter’s insistence is the only verifi- cation possible. Mrs. Myers has gathered more such evidence in a brief time than most of her fellow-Spiritualists re- ceive in a lifetime—but to what avail? Every bit of evidence herein cited can be as easily explained away by (in Professor Hart’s terms) either the “super-ESP” hy- pothesis or his own “persona” theo- ry (roughly equivalent to Caring- ton’s “psychons”). This book, like countless others, will be convine- ing only to those already favorable to the survival hypothesis. It is unfortunate, however, that such individuals most likely will be the only ones to learn of the book’s existence. Spiritualists must recog- nize that they are a minority and that their greatest obstacle is pub- lic indifference. Until they somehow achieve mass distribution of inex-

University Books, Inc., New Hyde Park, N. Y., 1962. 229 pages, $6.00. “What a theme for a study! Cag- liostro and Casanova combined, with a poetic genius that challenges Swinburne’s and Shelley’s ... ” Thus, in 1933, the author exulted at the chance to do an essay on that fantastic personality who signed himself “The Great Beast, 666” but who was better known as, “The Wickedest Man in the World.” Eighteen years later—and 15 years after first meeting Aleister Crowley —this study was completed. It is now reprinted with a bibliographical list of Crowley’s works compiled by Ed- ward Noel Fitzgerald. Aleister Crowley began as a poet, alternating scintillating productions with “silly and quite loathsome ju- venilia of the pornographic kind.” The biographer foresees Crow- ley’s name in history as “the au- thor of an extraordinarily large vol- ume of poetry... great poetry.” As if to help this on, notable biograph- ical omissions occur, e.g., that Crow- ley died addicted to heroin; that his first wife, “his great love,’ driven to alcoholism, was certified insane. While great poets are few, real sorcerers are fewer still—but was Crowley’s demonism fanciful? After witnessing examples of it, Dr. Here- ward Carrington, late dean of Amer- ica’s experts in field-investigation in parapsychology, was not so sure. In 1898, Crowley began his mas- TO5 Latest Books on HYPNOTISM By WILBUR C. WEBER The Truth About Hypnotism Contains facts all should know. Answers ali questions commonly asked.

His magical career had three highpoints: (1) The “Enochian Invocations” in the African desert, when a “demon” materialized, taking Crowley’s own shape and finally trying to stran- gle Crowley’s companion-pupil. (2) The “Abramelin Operation”, Crowley’s attempt to obtain “the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel”, a feat de- manding utmost purity, and in which, the biographer argues, Crow- ley inevitably failed, so “rabidly sensual” was his mind. (3) The re- ceiving by Crowley in Cairo, by “direct voice,” of The Book of the Law. The communicating “spirit” claimed to be a “messenger from the forces ruling earth at present,” and predicted a new era, command- ing Crowley to proclaim the Law of Thelema, “Do What Thou Wilt.” This Crowley did for the remain- ing 43 years of his life, by word and deed, practicing a doctrine of “sex-magic” allied to the “left- hand” Tantric-Yoga of India, where he had studied. This, the biograph- er declares, was “the curse and ruin of his Magick.” The “last sad phase of his life” was passed in: relative obscurity— Crowley had outlined his own hil- arious antics, scandals, esoteric wars and exoteric persecutions. But his sense of divine or daemonic mis- sion persisted to the last, flickering feebly against dark shadows of past failure and defeats. Taken altogeth- er, “his poetry, his personality and his life makes him the most extra- ordinary figure of his age, and one of the most extraordinary figures of any age.”—Walter A. Carrithers, Jr.

THOSE SOVIET ASTRONAUTS Frank Edwards’ article on “Those Lost Soviet Astronauts” in your July issue is quite fascinating; un- fortunately, however, there is one paragraph that lacks continuity, apparently because of an error in editorial processing or typesetting. I refer to the paragraph on page 51 concerning Gagarin and Titov. Whereas the second, third and fourth sentences presumably describe Ga- garin’s flight, the fifth and final sentence gives the name of Titov— a rather sudden and puzzling switch. I was somewhat surprised by the author’s failure to mention the pos- sibility that the alleged flight by Gagarin may actually have been made by Ilyushkin. Many persons (ineluding yours truly) feel that Gagarin was a last-minute stand-in for a Russian astronaut (probably Tlyushkin) who was killed or seri- ously injured in an attempted or- bital flight. Furthermore, there is a discrep- ancy in the tally of dead astronauts. Mr. Edwards says that the couple killed in the 1961 moon: shot consti- tuted fatalities six and seven. Ac- cording to my count from the ar- ticle, there have been at least eight fatalities: (1) Shiborin, (2) Dol- gov, (3) the unidentified man launched in November 1960, (4) the unidentified man launched in Febru- - This is THE HUMAN AURA Diagram of normal aura based on Ww.

If Zavadosky was the man launched in February of that year, the total is elght, but if he was launched at some other time, the total is nine.— Kenneth W. Perkins, Science Edi- tor, The Encyclopedia Americana, New York, N.Y. EDWARDS’ REPLY My reply to K. W. Perkins: (1) The flight referred to was actually that of Gagarin as stated. The transposition of names, wherein I said Titov instead of Gagarin, was accidental. It probably means that I am getting old and forgetful. (2) I had not considered the pos- sibility that the Soviets substituted Gagarin for an injured Ilyushkin, but upon receiving Mr. Perkins’ let- ter and suggestion I did some fur- ther checking which indicates a strong possibility that such a substi- tution may have been made to cover an embarrassing mishap in Soviet space efforts. (8) The discrepancy in the total of Soviet space fatalities to which Mr. Perkins refers is due to an oversight on my part as I transposed the material from my first draft to the final script. In the interest of being on the conservative side I in- tended to keep the tally at seven known dead but I failed to do this by not specifying that Zavadosky might have been the ill-fated astro- naut of February 1961, as Perkins suggests. When I counted the miss- ing noses in the final paragraph I seem to have counted both the “Unknowns” as a single fatality in

BACK TO TUNGUSKA About the famous “Tunguska Me- teorite’”’ which has been mentioned a few times in FATE, my personal opinion is such: it was neither a meteorite—as practically everyone now agrees—nor a comet, which is the offical Soviet version, nor a chunk of “anti-matter,” nor a spaceship which accidentally ex- ploded, but, rather, an atomic war- head of a rocket equipped with the so-called “proximity fuse’’ and fired from one of the planets of our sys- tem, most probably from Mars. It was an experimental shot, just like those of the U.S. and the Soviet Union when they sent their rockets to the moon. As you might remem- ber, some scientists suggested that such rockets should carry a nuclear bomb in order to make the points of impact visible from the Earth—and that is exactly what some of our space neighbors apparently did.— George R.

The technique is merely a hypnotic method to prevent the con- scious mind from interfering with any extrasensory impulses which may originate in the subconscious. The method is described as fol- lows: “A person while in a deep trance is given the post-hypnotic suggestion that upon awakening and opening the (actually blank) note- book, he will see printed on its pages original, unusual and interesting lit- erary material never before pub- lished. Also the suggestion is given that it will be easy for the person to read aloud this material rapidly so that it may be recorded vocally by a tape recorder.” Only one out of five can reach a trance depth necessary for this sug- gestion to take effect. Of those who do so, quite a few will be surprised, to say the least, by some of the material. A fair amount of the ma- terial visualized will seem as if it could come only from another source. After one has practiced this meth- od for several weeks, one can at- tempt the psychic feat of psychome- try (divination of facts concerning an object or its owner through con- tact with or proximity to it). To achieve this, one again uses the deep trance state to impart the following post-hypnotic suggestion: “If you look in the notebook while holding an object in your hand, you will see facts printed concerning the object or its owner.” Because the material visualized through the subconscious mind seems to be in the notebook and not com- ing from one’s own mind, the sub- conscious portion of the mind is less likely to interfere. As one prac- tices’ this method, one should in- crease his percentage of successes.

Many times I have heard various animals speak as clearly as human beings. As a matter of fact, until I was in my teens I thought nothing of it. I thought that all animals, if properly trained and cared for, could speak. I had a little dog in my home for 13 years—he died in 1947—-who spoke to me as plainly as any person.—Ruby L.

REPORT FROM THE READERS - shirt I decided that it was still in good condition and so accepted it. When I finally wore the shirt a few weeks later I discovered that it really was dark blue. Later, as I lay on my bed I dreamed that there were snakes circulating between my body and the shirt, and that I could not reach the snakes: to remove them. When I wore it another day, I was resting andagain there were gsnakes—an inch long and black. I quickly took the shirt off, and since then I haye had no more snake dreams.

CRYSTAL SKULL Concerning John Sinclair’s “Crys-. tal Skull of Doom” (Fars, Mareh, 1962), and reader W. M. Smith’s comments on the article: From the researches I have done into such matters, it would appear that this image originally was lo- cated in some temple on the Atlan- tean continent. This temple, which I term the “Palace of Death,” was chiefly concerned with the granting of euthanasia; it was probably the skull which—in some mysterious way—eranted the death wish. Either in this temple or in some similar structure there existed an avenue of great stone support col- umns capped with mammoth stone heads several times the size of mod- ern man. After Atlantis began to break up, Atlantean temples and palaces were hurriedly taken down by skilled, careful hands, and large parts of them moved to Central American locations.

BAHA’I TURMOIL Tn the June, 1961, issue of FATE a book review by David Techter of “ALL THINGS MADE NEW, A Comprehensive Outline of the Ba- ha’i Faith,” by John Ferraby, con- tained this parenthetical statement: “Some day a Baha’i shall have to give an account of the administra- tive turmoil following the death of the Guardian in 1957.” Having been a devoted Baha’i Since 1942, I am familiar with the whole series of events since the passing of the first Guardian, Shoghi Effendi. I would like to give this aceount from the standpoint of a Baha’i under the second Guard- ian, Charles Mason Remey, a Ba- ha’i since 1899. The Prophet-Founder of the Ba- ha’i Faith, born Husayn-Ali, a Prince of Persian nobility, de- elared himself in Baghdad in 1863 as the Promised One of the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, as well as of the sacred books of Sabe- anism, Hinduism, Judaism, Bud- dhism, Zoroastrianism, Islam and Babism, come to usher in the long- awaited Kingdom of God on Barth. He assumed the title “Baha’u’llah,” : which means “Glory of God” in Per- sian, and after 24 years of banish- ment and imprisonment, died in 1892. He named his eldest son, ’Abdu’l- Baha (“Servant of Glory’), as His successor as leader of the Baha’i Cause. ’*Abu’l-Baha passed away

In his will, ’Abdu’l-Baha desig- nated his eldest grandson, Shoghi Effendi, as the first Guardian of the Faith, and set forth therein the manner of succession of future Guardians. The hereditary principle was to be spiritual in nature rather than physical, especially if the Guardian should fail to leave a male heir with the necessary spirtual qualifications. If the “glorious lin- eage not be matched with a goodly character, then must he (The Guard- ian) choose another branch to suc- ceed him.” It was quite evident that the first Guardian left no physical heir, but it was also evident to those around him, including the “Hands,” appointed by him from 1951 to 1957 to “diffuse the Divine Fragrances (Baha’i teachings) throughout the world,” that Shoghi Effendi in 1951, by appointing Charles Mason Re- mey (the Hand with the longest WRITE — COME — CALL DR.

REPORT FROM THE READERS tenure) as the President of the In- ternational Baha’i Council (the “em- bryonic” Universal House of Jus- tice, whose Head will be the Guard- jan), had appointed his own suc- cessor. In other ways, too, he had indicated his choice. When the Hands returned from the first Guardian’s burial, they met in conclave at Bahji, Israel, where . Baha’u’llah is entombed. After pray- ers, the Iranian Hands remained at Bahji overnight, the others re- turning to Haifa. On resumption of the conclave the next morning, the youngest Iranian Hand arose and moved that the Guardian- ship be considered ended for at least 1,000 years until the coming of the next’ “Manifestation of God,” 117 who might re-establish it then, if He so desired. Each Iranian. Hand then arose and made the same recommendation in practically the same words, thus indicating that these Hands had en- tered into a covenant among them- selves to end the Guardianship, thus violating “for reasons of their own” the will of ’Abdu’l-Baha. On the basis of their perversions of the will the Hands accused the Guardian of causing a split in the Cause of God, when it was their own desertion of the Covenant that made it imperative to isolate them from the faithful believers. Mason Remey, the Guardian, responded to this particular charge by cutting off the violating Hands: “The Hands of PROPHETIC VERSES OF ANCIENT SEER OPEN THE DOOR OF THE FUTURE! Now, In one volume...

Advertising Director, Clark Publishing Co., 845 Chicago Ave., Evanston, Il, —————————————— FATE the Cause accuse me of attempting to create a split in the Cause—as if this were a bad thing for the Ba- ha’i Faith! I am indeed making a split in the Faith, for I am sepa- rating the diseased from the healthy living organisms of the body of the Baha’is. Herein we have presented the facts, and we stand ready to explain openly and honestly any further questions that may arise. Nothing is devious; nothing need be hidden, for the appointment of the second Guardian was made by the infallible first Guardian in writing during his lifetime. We have exposed (some of) the activities and words of the Hands through three years, and ey- erything may be verifiéd from the actual messages of the Hands (printed in Baha’ News) and any of the pertinent Baha’i writings. The second Guardian has written proof of his appointment, but the “Hands” have nothing but viola- tion to support their assumed com- mand of the friends (believers).

I closed my transmitter and listened to the prog- ress of the search until about 12:30 A.M., when I heard an unidentified station report that he could see the plane. He said that all passengers except one man were dead. Having heard this report first- hand, I phoned the news to the lo- cal radio station, which in turn broadcast it over the air. Then I went to bed. The next morning, to my surprise, the radio station announced that the report of the finding of the a ime) FLYING SAUCERS America’s only Fact Magazine with complete coverage of the famous UFO. Flying saucers are a fact. A national poll has proved that one American in every four is aware of the truth of that statement. In spite of this, FLYING SAUCERS Magazine is the only publica- tion devoted to presenting all the facts and all the latest news concerning uni- dentified flying objects. It is the only magazine wherein the public can pierce the fog in which official sources have shrouded a. matter of vital and general public concern.

MORE SHATTERED WINDOWS At 10:00 P.M. on April 27, 1962, a nearby resident shut off his tele- vision set for the night. It was in perfect condition. At 10:00 A.M. the next morning he found the entire safety glass covering the picture tube shattered into a crazy pattern, ALL OVER, even well into the cor- ners. It didn’t fall out until the frame was removed. I sent a sample to NICAP, the National Investiga- tion Committee for Aerial Phenom- ena. The face of the picture tube and other plain glass was unaf- fected, just as in the countrywide reports of similar incidents. Obviously, something or some emanation received by the antenna on the roof came through the set causing a very high but instantane- ous internal heating of the glass or its binding material, which was NOT a plastic center as usual. A high power attuned (accidentally) pulse generator at a great distance, as if at a radar base, could do this. This. was an isolated case, but I did hear a while ago of a local wind- shield going in this manner while parked. The television set and its antenna, by the way, are tuned for Channel 12 only.—Charles C. Hast- ings, Wyalusing, Pa.

REPORT FROM THE READERS a message from his dead father in an obsolete form of shorthand. I also had a similar experience. On the evening of May 31, 1960, I was writing some letters, when I dis- covered that I had written: “Dear Sis. How is it you always got in touch with me before? Why can’t you do so now?” My sister died in January, 1959. All of a sudden I started making marks that looked like shorthand. I had the feeling that it was a message from my sister. So far, un- fortunately, no one has been able ‘to translate any of it. I wish I could be sure if it really means anything.—_Wilma White, Morgan, N.J. i DELAWARR CAMERA The Delawarr Laboratories of Oxford, England, have succeeded in creating a special camera which photographs—even at a distance— the sick organs of a person. To ob- tain such a result, it is adequate for the patient to produce only a drop of blood or saliva specimen. We cannot reveal any details re- garding the instrument itself, but ‘we can say why, when the camera photographs only- the seed, it gives on the film an image of the flower which will bloom. Under the title, “Four New Laws of Physics,” Mr. G. de la Warr establishes in the second of those four laws that all forms of matter radiate a wave form. Thus, in a given position of the seed, the Delawarr Camera will produce the picture of the flower which will grow out of said seed. This seems fantastic, yet the ex- perience is renewable at will.

Secrets entrusted toa : few als 3 A LE The Unpublished Fact of Life THERE are some things that cannot be generally told — things you ought to know. Great truths are dangerous to some—but factors for personal power and accomplishment in the hands of those who understand them. Behind the tales of the miracles and mysteries of the ancients, lie centuries of their secret probing into nature's laws — their amazing discoveries of the hid- den processes of man’s mind, and the mastery of life’s problems, Once shroud- ed in mystery to avoid their destruc- tion by mass fear and ignorance, these facts remain a useful heritage for the thousands of men and women who pri- yarely use them in their homes today.
