The city, school board and state road group have agreed to each pay one third. Whether or not the underpass under-pass can be constructed In time for the opening of. school was uncertain today. A recent communication from the road commission chief engineer expressed doubt that this could be accomplished, due chiefly to the shortage of materials. ma-terials. Mayor Anderson said every effort will be made to push construction this year. At the school board meeting Tuesday night, members of the school body reaffirmed their sup port of the underpass to the ex tent of the school district pay ina one third of the cost. Some members said they favored the underpass, but that they didn't believe it would entirely solve the traffic problem which already has claimed the life of one child. A. R. Morgan. 460 North Fifth West, appeared Tuesday night again in protest against the plan to locate the underpass in the middle rf the block in front of the school, claiming it will ruin his grocery store business located across the street. School board member Milton Marshall, said he believed the underpass could be placed slightly north of the Mor gan store without destroying the effectiveness of the safety de vice.

Flying Disc (Continued from Page One) claims by 100 navy men that they (saw a mysterious object "silvery colored, like aluminum, with no wings or tail," sail over Honolulu at a rapid clip late ' yesterday. The description fit a weather balloon, bal-loon, but five of the men, familiar fami-liar with weather observation devices, de-vices, swore that it was not a balloon. "It moved extremely fast for a short period, seemed to slow down and then disappeared high in the air," said Yeoman 1c Douglas Kacherle of New Bedford, Bed-ford, Mass. His story was corroborated corrob-orated by Seaman 1c Donald Ferguson, Indianapolis; Yeoman 3c Morris Kzamme, LaCrosse, Wis., Seaman 1c Albert Delan-cey, Delan-cey, Salem, W. Va., and Yeoman 2c Ted Pardue, McClain, Tex. Admiral William H. Blandy, commander-inchief of the Atlantic Atlan-tic fleet, said like everyone else he was curious about the reported report-ed flying saucers "but I do not believe that' they exist." Lloyd Bennett, Oelwem, la.. salesman, was stubborn about the shiny 6Vi inch steel disk he found yesterday. Authorities said it was not a "flying saucer" but Bennett Ben-nett said he would -claim the reward re-ward offered for the mysterious disks. Provo's second "flying saucers" report turned out to be a dud today but it was a dandy while it lasted. These "saucers" had every thing. They looped, dived, spiral- ed and in general really put on a show. The account was given to tne Herald by an unidentified woman who had seen them toward to-ward the northwest. This morning the lady called. still unidentified, and said to for get it. She had been looking at the lights of a carnival. Anyway, it was a swell show while it lasted. WASHINGTON. July 9 (U.R) Sen. Glen H. Taylor, D.. Ida., said today he almost hoped the living saucers will turn out to be space ships from another planet. He said the "mere possibility" that the spinning circles might be hostile would "unify the peo ples of the earth as nothing else cpuia. t Taylor, who is plugging hard for a United States of the world. added, "You'd have world government gov-ernment so quick it would make your head swim." Steps Taken To Legalize Racing Unit .The Utah county commission today to-day was taking steps to. legalize the ' Spring Acres Racing corporation cor-poration east of Springville, 3 by changing the zoning from its present residential-agricultural to recreation-forestry. The corporation recently staged its first rodeo and has been operating op-erating for some time. The zoning change was . made at the insistance -of numerous prominent Springville residents, although it, was contrary to the planning and zoning policy of the county planning commission. The planning commission issued a public statement saying its members still opposed the establishment estab-lishment of commercial enterprises enter-prises in unincorporated territory of the county, but tha. this was a situation where apparently the majority of the citizens in the affected area wanted it. The planning commission therefore recommended that the zoning change be granted by the county commission, final authority on such matters. At a public hearing on the proposed pro-posed zoning change earlier this week, no protests were received by the county commission. Representatives Rep-resentatives of the Spring Acres corporation appeared to urge that the zoning change be made. Ex-Provo Jaycee Visits President WASHINGTON, D. C Frank G.
