He said he found “no excuse
for the Defense Department’s or
iginal statement that it was send
ing two passenger planes to Eur
ope, at an estimated $20,000 round
trip cost, to bring home Sens. Mc
Clellan, Stennis and Chavez.
The Defense Dept, said Thurs
day, in response to questions, that
it was specially dispatching the
planes because it had no regular
scheduled flight which could fetch
the senators on the dates they
wanted to return. It said the de
partment must by law provide
transport in this case where the
three Appropriations subcommit
tee members were traveling on
committee business.
All three senators denied re
questing a special flight, however,
and an indignant McClellan and
Stennis returned Monday on a
regular Military Air Transport
Service flight instead of the plane
sent for them.
Then the Pentagon issued a
public apology to McClellan and
Stennis, extended yesterday to
Chavez. It said the senators neith
er knew about nor asked for the
special flight, and its plan for the
special trip for Chavez had been
cancelled.
Said Russell:
“I think it is about time Con
gress was putting a limitation on
the use of planes by those direct
ing affairs in the Defense Dept.
They have got 35 fellows down
there, most of whom couldn’t be
elected to anything, who can or
der up a plane and fly anywhere
in the world they want to go.
“ . . . I think we should consid
er limiting their use of these
planes and publicizing every trip
they make overseas and how much
it costs.”

Not Flying Saucers
But New Aircraft
Will Be Seen Soon
By ELTON C. FAY
WASHINGTON, (tfV—-The Air
Force, busy for seven years trying
to scotch legends about flying
saucers, wants the public to know
those weird looking aircraft which
folks will see soon won’t really be
saucers. They just look and act
like them.
The Air Force last night issued
what has become a sort of annual
report on the flying saucer situa
tion, saying again it has found no
evidence of flying saucers. ■
But this time it attached to the
new and voluminous (316-page)
report a statement by Air Secre
tary Donald A. Quarles. It said
some aircraft of novel form are
coming along but there will be
nothing “supernatural or mysteri
ous” about them.
One will be the vertical-rising,
jet-powered experimental plane
built by Ryan Aeronautical Corp.
of San Diego. Quarles said the
craft will fly “in a matter of
days.”
The plane described as the first
jet-powered vertical-rising plane,
now is at Edwards AFB, Calif.,
the test center for jet aircraft.
The Navy already has flown a
similar aircraft, the Convair BTO,
but this is powered with a con
ventional propeller.
Another strange plane, still in
i design stage, is being developed
by the Canadian firm of Avro,
Ltd., which has a contract with
the U.S. Air Force. This design,
Quarles said, “could result in a
disc-shaped aircraft somewhat
similar to the popular concept of
a flying saucer.”
AVRO officials have insisted
their product isn’t a flying saucer.
Gas exhausted through a system
of ducts would spin an outer rim
of the disc to propel the aircraft
vertically into the air.
The gas blast then would be
diverted from the disk and to the
rear to provide forward thrust,
like any jet plane.
