Re: Flying Discs - Tacoma, on.

He stated that the next morning he received a call from a who told him that Lieutenant Brown and Captain Davidson had been killed in a B-25 crash. He stated he does not know how knew who had been in the plane before anyone else. He also stated that during the above conference numerous telephone calls were received from the press, wanting to know about the conference. He stated that someone kept tipping the press off as to what was going on and what was being said daily verbatim. He informed that United Press men at Tacoma, appeared to know all that took place during the conference, and even knew of the crash of the B-25 and those aboard, before the Army released this information. He informed that when he received news of the crash, that he and fully expected to be contacted by Army Intelligence, as they were the last people with Lieutenant Brown and Captain Davidson, however, they were never contacted.

He further stated that he and Press to see what the survivors of the crash had informed about the crash and that had told them that the mysterious informant who had been calling had told him that the B-25 had not crashed, but had been shot down, also that Army informant had said that an observer at Kelso, Washington, had seen the plane throw out a landing flare after the two survivors had jumped from the plane, and that the plane had gone into a steep dive and dove into a hillside, and further that one engine had been on fire, but that the fire apparatus, protecting the engine, had failed to function. The press stated that then came to see him and told them to go home and forget about the discs, that such things as the B-25 crash had been happening to him all along.

stated that he then called at Chicago and told him that the deal was off and that if he wanted his $200.00 back, he could have it; that two men had been killed and he was getting frightened of the whole thing. He stated that informed him that it was all right with him to keep the $200.00, however, he would send him an additional check for the trouble he had put to. He advised that previous to this telephone call had called his friend, of the Chicago Times and had told him that he did not have any faith in Army Intelligence and for to conduct an investigation on and get to the bottom of this disc fantasy. Also advised that previous to the two above telephone calls, he had asked the oress to investigate as Army Intelligence had informed him that they could not find and knew nothing concerning him, and appeared not to be interested in who seemed to know more about the flying discs than anyone else.

stated that he personally thinks that business is a blind for something else and that will do anything that asks him to and will not talk unless tells him to. stated that he still wanted to get to the bottom of the disc fragment story so he and had decided to go to Mauri Island on Sunday, August 3.
