A bright, oval object was also re ported over southern New Hex-ieo.

Several witnesses, including a sheriff and one of his deputies, reported seeing the object over Texas. Although reports of strange flying objects have been popping up for years, the reported weekend sightings impressed the Air Force sufficiently to call for at least a preliminary investigation. Sightings of the object over the White Sands Proving Ground in New Mexico were made 17 hours apart by two different military police patrols. The sightings were near bunkers used in the first atomic bomb explosion. One of the two-man patrols said the bright object spotted Sunday evening was about 200 or 300 feet long and disappeared into the sky after blinking on and Another patrol said a bright object spotted early Sunday morning descended until it was about 50 yards above the A-bomb bunkers, then faded.

Officials of the proving ground said the phenomena had nothing to do with any activity at the base. Witnesses-- whoreported seeing the object over Texas said their car engines stopped and their lights went out when they drove near it. The military police who reported the object over the prov ing grounds said they had no trou ble with their jeeps.

(AP) GOP Triumphs Twice in Basic School Fund Issue For years there has been a running battle between the press and the American Bar Association over Canon 35 of the association's "Canons of Judicial Ethics." This canon, which is without legislative authority but which is generally respected by the courts, has barred the taking of photographs in trials of cases or televising or broadcasting of judicial proceedings. The press has contended that such "reporting" by new media of communication should be allowed. It is also urged that improved techniques, especially in photography, minimize any possible distraction. In view of the agitation the American Bar 'Association named a special committee to re examine its Canon 35. The com mittee has made its report.

While the language of the canon has been revised the ban on picture- taking and broadcasting televising remains. We may be sure that representatives of news media will pounce on this revised canon and reassert their claims to freedom in oral and visual reporting of judicial pro ceedings. They have one ally in the Colorado Supreme Court whose own rule gives tolerance to use of cameras in courtrooms. I think the press is In its techniques on the courts, and that there. are sound reasons for keeping cameras out of courtrooms.

Voter's in Six States Cast Ballots Today WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 1-Voters in six states Will turn out tomorrow to elect two governors, three legislators and mayors in more than 75 titles. The off-year balloting may give party chiefs some idea of how the wind is blowing for the congressional elections in 1958. Gubernatorial contests feature the elections in New Jersey and Virginia, with Democrats given the edge over Republican opponents carrying President Eisenhower's endorsement. These two states, with Kentucky, will also elect their legislatures.

House Vacancies Two vacancies in the U. S. House of Representatives will be filled one in New Jersey's 2nd District caused by the death of Rep. T. Millet Hand, a Republican; and the othes in Pennsylvania's 13th District caused by the resignation of Samuel McConnel a Republican.

The GOP is expected to retain both seats. The race for governor in New Jersey is between Gov. Robert B. Meyner, a Democrat seeking another 4-year-term and State Sen. Malcolm Forbes, a magazine publisher for whom Vice President Nixon campaigned actively.

The strike would affect some 7,000 Pan American employes, including about 1,000 workers at the Missile Test Center.

ROBERT SMITH Statesman Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 4-A battle between Salem and Eugene broadcasting interests over Salem television channel 3 is scheduled to come out into the open starting Wednesday in a hearing nere. A federal communications com mission examiner will hold a con ference with interested parties in a case in which two adversaries have been swapping backstage charges for months. McCormlck vs Fisher The adversaries are Glenn E.

McCormick, president of KSLM-TV, which was granted a permit by the FCC in 1953 to construct a TV station to use Sa lem's channel 3. McCormick has reeived several extensions of time on his permit, but it expired last March 20. He wants it renewed once more, which is the heart of the upcoming hearing. C. H.

Fisher, who has art interest in KVAL-TV, Eugene, and has been trying to get channel 3 for his Salem Television Co. The FCC has rejected his recent application for the channel, because technically, McCormick still has it. Fisher has filed numerous petitions with the FCC in recent months charging that KSLM-TV is interested only in "peddling" its permit to "out-of-state interests" for a profit instead of ever building a station for local TV in Salem. Opposition Cited McCormick told the FCC that "various Portland television sta tions and others having multiple, television-radio interests in the state of Oregon have vigorously opposed" a proposed transfer of channel 3 to Storer Broadcasting Co. The 4FTC blocked this deal because Storer already owned five TV stations, which is the limit.

McCormick said Fisher "is 'belling the cat' for the Portland TV stations and station KVAL-TV at Eugene." "Fisher's apprehensive that if channel 3 is assigned to Storer there will be little, if any, need for NBC program releases on KVAL-TV in Eugene," McCormick' firm charged. Fisher charged that KSLM was only trying "to keep the permit alive for the purpose of peddling it to Storer" which would be "for a large consideration and profit constituting trafficking in permits." Sale Plan Charged McCormick replied that he had a contingent contract with RCA for $40,113 worth of" equipment on which he had paid $802 down. The contract was contingent on the deal with Storer falling through, which it did. Fisher next said McCormick had negotiated with California inter ests for sale of the permit, and that the whole plan involved mov ing the site of the transmitter from 4.8 miles northwest of Salem to Bald Mountain, 30 miles from Sa lem. McCormick in time revealed that he had.

made some agreement with Shasta Telecasting Co. of Redding, to form a new joint enterprise to build the sta tion on a new site with a more powerful transmitter. Purchase Try Claimed As for Fisher's charge about selling the permit, McCormick claimed that the day after his agreement with Storer expired Fisher came to his home and tried to purchase the permit but "only if channel 3 would be located In Salem and operated at relatively low power so as not to conflict with the operation of KVAL-TV at Eugene or create any duopoly problems for reason of overlapping coverage. The proposed new transmitter site would be 57 miles from Eu gene, which McCormick said makes many statements by Fisher "misleading and "irresponsible The FCC hearing, before chief examiner James Cunningham, is to give KSLM-TV a chance to prove that it was diligent in try ing to construct the station, that it was prevented by factors be' trAnrt ite Anntrnl thai it mritt nthr iime The to change the transmitter ite and jncreaSe the power of KSLM-TV have been deferred un til the other issue is settled.

Associated Press Writer Republicans scored two narrow victories Monday in their efforts to use all of Gov. Holmes' pro posed basic school fund to reduce property taxes. The Senate Taxation Committee voted 5-4 to use the 5 million dol lar annual basic fund increase for property tax reduction. This vote came after the Senate voted 15-14 to send the bill back to committee for that On each vote, it was a Democrat who made the Republican victory possible. Sen.

Alfred H. Corbett (D), Port land, voted with the Republicans in committee. Sen. Ben Musa, The Dalles, was the Democrat who vot ed with the Republicans on the floor to send the bill back for amendment. John Ericksen A Rebel, a part German Shepherd, Gov.

Holmes proposed that the basic fund be increased from $95 to $105 per census child, and that the money be distributed on the same basis as in the present law. It was in this form that the bill was passed by the House. Under that proposal, between 71 and 80 per cent of the money would go for property tax relier. The remainder would be additional money for some school The Senate probably will pass the amended version to use all of the money for property relief, and then the" matter would go to conference committee. The basic school measure is the smaller part of Gov.

Holmes' tax reduction program. The major part to reduce income taxes still was in deadlock, as the basic school issue seems to be headed, GOP Holds Fast Republicans held fast to their contention that income taxes should be cut 30 per cent, in contrast to the House-passed governor's plan for a 10 per cent reduction. Gov. Holmes said that the. 1959 Legislature would have to increase taxes by 60 million dollars if the Republican program is approved.

His finance department estimated that the 1959-61 biennial budget would total 332 million dollars, compared with 272 millions in the current biennium.
