Explosion In Sky Terrifies Kansans Exploding Meteor is Believed Cause Kansas C4ty, Kan., Feb. 19 — (UP) —Authorities said today they "believed a terrific explosion high in the sky over Kansas last' night was caused by a meteor which blew up when ij entered the earth’s atmosphere. Concussion from the blast broke windows, rocked buildings and terrified residents over a wide section of Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma. The meteor left a smudge of bluish - white smoke extending across a wide segment of the sky just before it exploded about 5:01 p.m. No one reported seeing the actual explosion. There was no flash. The explosion terrified thousands of people across the threestate area. Many believed their houses had been hit by trucks. Dozens of windows were shattered. “It sounded as though the gasoline station a block away had blown up,” said M. R. Krehbiel. editor of the weekly Norton County News. “Afterwards there were a lot of little explosions, something like the rumble after a big thunderclap. Wc had a cracked window in our office and the concussion knocked out the glass.” Krehbeil said the meteor apparently exploded directly over the town of Norcatur, Kans., 16 miles west of here. By estimating the angle from the earth to the point of explosion, he decided that the meteor blew up about 30 to 35 miles above the earth. The smoke trail started over Nebraska to the north - and ran southwards, twisting over upon itself in “jelly-rolls” like the vapor trail of a plane out of control. Generally, however, it ran horizontal to the earth's surface. It was broad at the explosion point and narrowed back to a point at the spot where the meteor first entered earth's atmosphere. The meteor was felt as far away as Buffalo, Okla., 230 miles south of here, and Sharon Springs. Kans. 115 miles southwest. Other reports came from Dodge City, Brookville. Beloit, Solomon, Salina, Russell. Concordia and OsboiHfe. all south of here. Many airfields in the vicinity dispatched search planes in the belief that an airplane had exploded in flight. Many people believed that a jet airplane had exploded .instead of a meteor. Scientists, army officers and othef officials said that was impossible because of the extreme altitude of the explosion. Some people blamed the explosion on “flying saucers.” Two army B-29 bombers circled oveb the area until nightfall but the army did not issue a statemeht.

The meteor apparently distintegrated completely. No fragments were found although many persons looked for bits of the stellar matter today. 0 Truman Will Speak Al Dinner Tonight Jefferson-Jackson -Dinner At Capital Washington, Feb. 19 —(UE) — President Truman tops the Jeffer-soh-Jackson anniversary bill tonight at two SIOO-or-more-a-plate dinners here to raise funds for his presidential election campaign. It is a political occasion and a political speecX is expected of the president. /His remarks will be broadcast into the south where there are threats of rebellion against his candidacy, and into the north where Henry A. Wallace is trying to raise a third party to defeat him. Mr. Truman is in a tough spot in some ways. Washington awaits his speech with more than usual interest. Nearly 3,000 Democrats will assemble here for two dinners similar to those on a smaller scale in many other cities. Mr. Truman will dine with about half of the Washington group at the Hotel Statler. He will proceed then to the Hotel Mayflower to deliver the principal address of the evening at 10 p.m., EST. It will be broadcast by NBC, CBS and MBS. One hundred bucks was the minimum for Washington Jeffer-son-Jackson diners. Party officials explained there actually was no charge to those who will assemble here tonight. But all who gave SIOO or more to the party for the occasion had been invited. On that basis the gross take here would be How To Relieve Bronchitis Crcomulsion relieves promptly because it goes right to the seat of the trouble to help loosen and expel germ laden phlegm, and aid nature to soothe and heal raw, tender, inflamed bronchial mucous membranes.

a minimum of $290,000, there being 2,90'0 places set at the two hotels for tonight. Cabinet members and others will be speaking elsewhere in the nation. Sen. J. Howard McGrath of Rhode Island, chairman of the Democratic. national committee, jumped the gun last night with a speech tearing at the vitals of the Republican party. He reserv, ed a few cracks, too, for Wallace, the third party presidential candidate. He sought to brand Sen. Robert A. Taft, R., 0., as an isolationist who would cripple the Marshall plan and rewrite the United Nations charter. 0 Geneva Couples Leave For Trip To Mexico Berne, Feb. 19 — Dr. and Mrs. C. P. Hinchman and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Anderson, all of Geneva, left this morning for Mexico City, Mexico, where they will ispena a twoweek vacation. They expect to be back in Geneva by March 5.
