This petition was granted and on March 22, 1900 the new chapter was instituted with Martha H. Little as Worthy Matron. Andrew Hanna as Worthy Patron and Jennie Gray as Associate Matron, the three principal officers of a chapter.

WASHINGTON, March 21 (INS)—The House Appropriations Committee today approved $628,620,000 for rivers and harbors and flood control operations by army civil engineers for the 1951 fiscal year, beginning July This represented a cut of $202,247,500 In the $834,867,500 requested by the administration. The committee recommended that no further funds be voted this year for planning new projeets and accused army engineers of wasting public funds by constantly changing designs after eonstraction had begun. It advised the House that such “practice is not proper stewardship of a vita! and very expensive public function." Indiana, flood control construction projects approved by the committee included: Indiana—Cagles Mill reservoir, $1,400,000, Canelton, $135.000, Evansville $300,000, Indianapolis $400,000, Lawrenceburg, $240,000, New Albany $2,000,000.

WASHINGTON, March 21 (INS)—Rep. Church, R., III., cu»lapsed and died of a hear' “'tack today as he was testifying before a congressional committee against one of President Truman's reorganization plans. He was 66. The Republican congressman, a strong opponent of both the New Deal and its successor, the Truinan administration, died within 10 minutes. The end for the 15-year-veter-an of the House came with dramatic suddenness as he was testifying for his resolution urging disapproval of the President’s plan to plaee Genera! Counsel Robert Denham of the National Labor Relations Board under the board's jurisdiction. Church was reading a statement before the House Executive Expenditures Committee. He had just told the group that in his opinion the reorganization plan “is illegal” when he suddenly halted. As the startled members and spectators watched, the con(fon I’nir#* I'MMTfM

MEMPHIS, Term., March. 21 — (V" 1 )—A flying saucer with wil lows on the bottom and a bhnk ; “.g light on top flew over sas last night at a “tremenaous rate of speed," two airline pilots reported here. Capt. Jack Adams of Chicag . & Southern Air Lines radioed the Memphis airport control tower that he and Co-Pilot G. 1 7. Anderson saw the object over Stuttgart, Ark., at 10:20 p. m.

EST.

‘‘It was flying almost due north and we crossed its path at about a 45-degree angle. Adams said. “It was about 1,000 feet above us and was traveling at a tremendous rate of speed. “It had a peculiarly colored and very intense light on the top which blinked very rapidly. I could tell it was circular because of lighted windows on the unde - side of it. They were arranged in a perfect circular pattern. “ . . . We kept the object in sight for about 45 seconds, until it disapeared from sight, presumable because of Us speed. I would estimate that it was traveling between 500 and 600 miles per hour.” Adams said none of the passengers saw the disc and “we didn't tell them because we didn't want to alarm them.” “I’ve been a skeptic all mv life, but what can yr you see somethin^, ;... . ' Adams e 'd. “We both saw it, and we ’ > flabbergasted." Airl.ne officials here said they werr \re that the air force ha: 'edly denied the existance of flying saucers But they added that Adams was not the tvp» ner/-on wh" would give alarming reports.
