WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 (UP) ? The National Investigations Committee on Aerial
Phenomena named a nine-man board of governors today to direct its effort to provide more honest information
about flying saucers and space flight.
The committee is a non-profit organization set up recently to provide the public with a broader understanding of
such aerial phenomena as unidentified flying objects and the technical problems of space flight
.
It said it was starting a detailed scientific investigation of flying saucers because there does exist more than
enough evidence of certain and obvious aerial phenomena to justify independent evaluation
.
Those elected to the board of governors were:
Dr Charles A. Maney, professor of physics, Defiance (Ohio) College; Rear Admiral D. C. Fahrney, retired; A. M. Bonnabend, president, Hotel Corporation of America, Boston; the Rev. Albert H. Baller, Robbins Memorial Congregational Church, Greenfield, Mass.; Brig. Gen. Thomas B. Catron, retired; Frank Edwards, radie-TV commentator, Indianapolis; Talbot T. Speer, Speer Foundation, Baltimore; the Rev. Leon C. Levan, New Jerusalem Christian Church, Pittsburg, and Robert Emerson, Nuclear physicist, Kaiser Aluminium Company, Baton Rouge, La.
