II YOUR UNBOIIN BABY
., ..,...... EXPENDABLE?
HE May, 1955 issue of
T Farm Jovnuzl, in its Last-
Minute Report, is very much
alarmed by a series of new dis-
eases which are striking beef and
dairy herds all over the country.
These diseases are called by a
variety of names including muco-
1&1 disease (Iowa), upper respira-
tory infection (California), virus
diarrhea (New York), and so on
through the various states. But
everywhere, the symptoms are the
same, and in spite of the varied
DGmeDclature, it is a tremendously
baffling disease or series of dis-
eases.
The S)'Dlptoms are these: fever
alaoots up, sores appear in the
mouth, tJae animals slobber, there
is a discharge from the nose, they
are- affHcted with diarrhea, they
beomne lame and stiff. It is con-
eldered highly infectious, due to

At Milton Junction, Wlsconaia,
Dr. W. D. Chesney recently has
discovered that stillborn lambs ud
young lambs, wbo died shortly
after birth, were highly radioac-
tive, especially in liver and pan-
creas and .lungs.
At Green River, Montana, ia tile
McKinnon area on the Utab
Wyoming border, there has been a
heavy loss of lambs, born dead,
most of them prematurely, and
ranchers have raised the question
as to whether or not the caue Is

asking that no further testing of
nuclear weapons be conducted by
Russia or the United States be-
- cause of the worldwide effects of
radioactive fallout.
In view of the stated opinions of
such respected and able men as
these, it is impossible to reconcile
the statement on March 19 of a
man known as Jack Blotto who
says: "A big communist 'fear' cam-
paign to force Washington to stop
all American atomic- hydrogen
bomb tests erupted this week."
(Readers of Mystic may be able to
compute the source of the eruption
by remembering that this maga-
zine's first articles on the subject
appeared on March 10, to be fol-
lowed swiftly by numerous news-
paper statements, and the now
famous official announcement that
the fallout area from an H-bomb
covered 7,ooo square miles and
could kill everybody in an area the
size of the state of Delaware.)
Mr. Blotto went on to use such
phrases as: "important communist
drive " "straw man set up by the
Reds ' to try and create alarm, "
"typical distortions," "fake claim,"
"panic pressure," "fanning public
sentiment," "totally false line,"
'communist propagandists."
We would like to know who this
Jack Blotto is; because we are in-
terested in punching him in the
nose. He is speaking about
us, about Drs. Muller and Pauling,
and about every respectable Amer-
ican who has raised a well-founded,
documented, experiment - backed,
logical, positive, unassailable, and
perfectly TRUE warning a~bout
the dangers involved.
On the same date, or almost the
same date, Admiral Strauss (with
the shiny blue pants, made this dec-
laration, in essence: It is tbetter
that a few unborn Americans die
tomorrow of genetic damage, than
millions of Americans in an atomic
war today. The reason for continu-
ing the tests is the grave necessity
of keeping ahead of the Russians,
and the stake is our existence as a
nation.
In the light of this statement
(you can dig up the exact quotation
yourself) we have no doubt who
Jack Blotto is-one of the same
ilk.
Now let's go back to the lambs
and steers and cows. By reading
official government pamphl~ts on
the symptoms of atomic bomb ra-
diation on human beings, you can
discover that these symptoms are
identical. This leads to very strong
(and not unbased) suspicion that
the new disease is not a disease at
all, but radiation exposure. This
exposure is particularly dangerous
in pregnancy. Any sane doctor will
refrain from x-raying a pregnant
patient unless absolutely necessary,

Now in regard to your statement
that "the Hindu hypnotist can
hypnotize anyone," you will par-
don me if I object to that asser-
tion. While it is true, by and large,
that the Eastern psychologist is con-
siderably better in his practice
with things dealing with mind, he
is still a human being and as such
he is no more given to infallibility
than is anyone else.
While it is true that almost all
human beings are by nature subject
to hypnosis, there are a multitude
of fears and phobias lying deep
within the unconscious that pro-
hibit them from opening their minds
for inspection.
Unfortunately, orthodox psy-
chology, in seeking the origin of
complexes, has sought it in only the
11resent life's experience of the
patient. I suppose this is a natural
situation, for very few of your
modern psychologists have given
much thought to Hindu psychology
and the teachings of reincarnation.
If we accept reincarnation as a fact
we shall see the logic in assuming
the so-called soul or spirit of an
individual to be a composite of re-
corded experiences and no more
than that. We shall also begin to
understand that the physical body
is a direct creation of the mind of
the individual wrought out of the
memories of past experiences and
what he will have to use it for in
each new physical expression.
Many persons have asked me, "If
reincarnation is true, why do they
not remember their past lives?"
The fact is, they do, but they have
been laboring under the idea that
such recalling must be done in the
form of mental pictures, as is
largely done in remembering what
they did yesterday or as they do
in recalling a dream, when factual-
ly the greatest portion of the me-
chanics of memory takes place in
what is loosely termed the "uncon-
scious self" and is felt in the ner-
vous system as urges, which are
then transferred to the glandular
system which prepares the body
chemically to go into action.
Now let us suppose that one or
more of these unconscious urges
contain within them elements of
shame or fear. They may restrict
the body self from responding;
and the energy that was created
by the urge finding no normal out-
let, turned back upon the nervous
svstem and will soon or late create

and for reasons known only to the
inner self of that one, he will block
every effort made to release him

a person suffering from illness that

Another subject you lflight ques-
tion as to its mystic nature is the
subject of free speech. Well, free
speech is inextricably linked with
free thought, and with free prac-
tice of religion, and with free ex-
pression of philosophy. You can-
not have true mystic freedom with-
out free speech. That is why, in
this issue, we have an article in
which free speech, and the Amer-
ican Way, is stressed in no unheated
manaer. Free speech, the greatest
gift to mankind from the Unseen

lack of such freedoms.
In our April issue, where we
started the atomic danger ball roll-
ing (and how it has begun to roll!),
we experienced a situation we've
never erlperienced before. We re-
ceived more than 4000 requests
for reprints of both the atomic
article (which was written by
your editor, for the benefit of
those who asked who wrote it)
and the poisoned food article. Na-
turally, since type was destroyed,
and no reserve copies available, we
were unable to provide these re-
prints. And to reprint from scratch
would have been financially im-
possible, even though many of those
requesting reprints offered to pay
for them. Unfortunately, we are
not the Reader's Digest, witli the
money to provide these really ex-
pensive luxuries. We do want to
thank our readers who were so
anxious to spread the word, and
we felt quite flattered.
We also want to thank those

encouragement, we're in there

MYSTIC better every issue, be-
lieve us - the incentive is cer-
tainly there!
When it comes to a question of
morality, just what does it mean?
Of course, our readers know our
stand on killing. Our stand on war.
There is no religion on earth that
commands killing, or war. Every
one of them points exactly the re-
verse direction. Some of them are
more rigid in interpretation than
others, but in essence, the com-
mand is the same: Thou shalt not
kill. Yet we have the argument of
the moral right to make a decision
in relation to who shall or shall not
die ia a situation where it is a
choice between two individuals,
or a great many individuals of
varied numbers. Take as an in-
stance the case of a mother about
to give birth-and it is the doc-
tor's opinion that the mother will
die if the child is not sacrificed; or
the reverse, the child will die if the
mother is not sacrificed. When a
doctor is faced with that problem,
what should hls decision be? In
the Catholic faith, the decision is
this: He must try his best to save
both, even if he loses both, or
either, in the end. He cannot make
a choice, and take a course either
way. Even if the husband, told of
the dilemma, frantically demands
that the wife be saved, at the ex-
pense of the baby. The moral issue
is quite clear to the Catholic doc-
tor- save them both, if at all
possible, with the help of God-
and if he fails, his conscience is
clear.
Yet, there is an argument here.
What if he knows, beyond all
doubt, that the baby cannot be
saved? And that to try, would doom
the mother? Is one death not bet-
ter than two? Would it not be
murder to condemn the mother to
death as certain as the baby's? Or,
in the case of an abortion ( accid-
ental), must the mother be allowed
to bleed to death because the foe-
tus has not yet actually been pas-
ed? Obviously there are personal
decisions involved here, and there
is no question tllat, Catholic or not,

doders make them, even thougb
they might not be in line with dog-
nmtic morality.
It may be that there is a differ-
ence of opinion even among the
Catholic clergy, as to the proper
procedure (and we are not tak-
ing Catholicism in any way ex-
cept as a means, of illustration),
and that some of our readers will
write and correct us.
However, what is the morality in
a case where neither the mother
or child is in danger, but possible
future mothers and children may
be in danger if an. "experiment"
is not performed? Is there any
moral justification here? Is the
argument that "~e greatest benefit
for the greatest number" applies a
valid one? We say it does not. No
matter what possibility exists
(even that of death for all future
mothers and children) can justify
the causing of the death of the
present mother or chlldl

"It's hard for me to see why

The two scientists told Denver
reporters last week at a press
conference that the fallout in
Colorado and other areas in the
wind path of the Nevada tests had
reached the point ccwhere it no
longer can be ignored from a

said effects of the fallout on fu-

the United States would like to

The governor said he was not
accusing the Boulder scientists and
their colleagues of "being Fifth
Columnists." But he added: "Their
employment of cfright' technique
is most damaging to the defenses
of the free world" and charged that
"fallout in this case merely pro-

night he does not believe the radio-

to the people of Colorado and added

scientists who released the report
should be arrested."
The governor was angry about
the report released to the press by
Dr. Ray R. Lanier, head of the
university radiology department,
and Dr. Theodore Puck, head of
the biophysics department. He
charged that the release was a
"publicity stunt" and said the two
scientists were "out for publicity."
Johnson said he was speaking as
a member of the congressional
atomic energy committee "from the
time the first A-bombs were ex-
ploded at Hiroshima and Nagasaki."
He added that he planned an im-
mediate investigation of the report.
''This is a phony report," the
governor said. "It will only alarm
people. Someone has a screw loose
some place and I intend to find out
about it."
"NOTHING TO RETRACT"
CU SCIE~TIST HOLDS
Dr. Ray Lanier said Saturday
night he "doubts that Governor
Johnson's statement" attacking
warnings against the dangers of
atomic fall-out "needs a reply."
Lanier and Dr. Theodore Puck-
both of whom are professors in
the University of Colorado sys-
tem-drew attack from Johnson,
who said the warning was part of
a conspiracy by American scien-
tists against further development
of atomic weapons.
"I will not reply to it now, and
I doubt that it needs a reply,"
said Dr. Lanier. "I hope, only, that
the newspapers will not put me in
a position of replying in rash terms
to the governor . . . "
Dr. Lanier was asked if he were
"as positive today" as he was at
his March I I press conference on
the possible dangerous effects to
Denver life from wind-borne Ne-
vada atomic "fall-out."
He replied: "Those are funda-
mental, printed facts, and there is
no backing away from facts. Nor
is there anything to retract. When
we conducted our press conference,
we qualified all of our observa-
tions with conditional factors."
Dr. Puck termed Johnson's al-
legations "most serious" but de-
clined comment. He said he wanted
time to "reflect" upon it seriously,
and would withhold comment until
he reads Johnson's text.
He called the attack "most un-
fortunate," however. A reporter
commented:
"It would appear the governor
has accused you and Dr. Lanier
of taking part in a plot to under-
mine the defense of the United
State. Wouldn't that constitute a
very serious charge?"
"Certainly," Dr. Puck replied.

and stood up.
She saw him then, the man com-

Little and dark he was, and aging;
but she knew those half mad cruel

"It's been twenty years - and

for Kerry.
The short, sharp burst of the
death-thunder came then, and the
smoke.
Came, too, a silver-flaming thing
with wide sweep of beating wings.
It flew blindingly close to Mavis,
poised before her. Truly a flung
lance- Oh, no! A shield.
For an instant afterward, a fury
of lopsided straining pinions beat
about the narrow skull-head of the

like a royal ruby.

S IXCE that momentous day of

June 24th, 1947, when pilot
Kenneth Arnold reported see-
ing nine shining "saucer like" ob-
jects flying at 1,2oo miles per hour
over the Cascade mountain range
of Western Washington, the undy-
ing controversy of the flying sau-
cers has been raging.
Volumes of material has been
published on the subject. This in-
. eludes more than two dozen books,
thousands of magazine articles, and
countless material appearing in
newspapers and journals through-
out the world.
There are hundreds of organiza-
tions in this country and others de-
voting their time to solve this-one
of the most baffling mysteries of
all times.
Elliott Rockmore, President of
the Flying Saucer Researchers of
Brooklyn, estimates that he re-
34
ceived from four to six hundred
flying saucer sightings from news-
paper sources in mid-summer
1952, rivaling the Air Forces own
files.
The Air Force claimed that 1952
was the "bumper crop" year for re-
ports. They received 1700 in all.
The Air Force has maintained,
since the inception of flying sau-
cers, that they have no evidence
which would lead them to believe
in their existence.
Their latest report tells us:
"The majority of sightings could
be accounted for as misinterpreta-
tions of conventional objects,
such as balloons and aircraft.
Others could be explained as met-
eorologial phenomena or light re-
flections from crystalized particles
in the upper atmosphere. Some were
determined to be hoaxes. However,
there still remained a few unex-

lETTER FORGOnEN
yEARS ago I decided to become
a nurse and go in training at
the General Hospital, in San Fran-
cisco. At first I was a little home-
sick, then as the months went by I
was given more reponsibilities and
made friends. I loved it. One night,
after a snack with the girls, I went
back to the ward and reported to
our charge nurse. I talked with her
a few minutes, then started down
the corridor to answer a light.
After I finished, I decided to look
in on two patients who were very
ill and were not expected to last
through the night. Flashing my
light down toward the floor I
opened the door quietly. The room
was in darkness. I stood petrified,
for just then I heard a sigh, then
there was silence. I saw an irrides-
cent light, bluish in color, smallish
in size. It seemed to float like smoke
from the top of the man's head,
drifting toward the open window.
Seconds later I witnessed from the
other bed the same procedure.

was wrong. Then she took my arm
and forced me back to the room
with her. They were both dead. I
had witnessed the death of two men,
one white, the other colored. Believe
me, in death there is no difference.
Both minds or souls were the
same.
Several older nurses tried to kid
me out of what I told them. Final-
ly I gave up trying to convince any-
one.
Later in life, I met one of the
nurses again. She told me that she
had believed me- but didn't want
to be ridiculed again. She had seen
a woman, in one of the smaller
wards, and spoken to her. When she
asked why the woman had been
moved later that night, they told
her that no one had been in that
bed for three days. Her story had
received the same ridicule as mine.
That was why she had remained
silent. There are things that hap-
pen that we keep to ourselves," she
she informed me. No doubt she is
right.

Earth and Mars would be engulfed
in a matter of minutes.
During heavy sunspot activity,
cosmic radiation on earth rises far
above normal. Our earth is send-
ing some radiation into space during
test bombing. Is it unreasonable to
believe that this radiation-unin-
tended by Nature-could seriously
upset the sun? The radiation is
small, compared to solar radiation,
but it is possible that even a
small amount can upset natural bal-
ance, when coming from a source
never intended by Nature.
It is generally known that the
true north pole and the magnetic
pole do not coincide. It is also
known that the magnetic pole
varies several degrees as the earth
wobbles on its axis. At the Ameri-
can Meteorological Society meet-
ing in Washington, Drs. Walter
Munk and Gordon Groves stated
the belief that monsoons pushing
against the high Himalayas and
air masses moving over the
Asiatic continent keep the North
Pole moving in a flat circle of 20
feet in diameter.
This would indicate that the
earth is very deli(ately balanced.
If winds and air masses could
cause the pole to move, a series of
A-and H-bomb tests could surely
nudge the earth on her axis-and
in a direction opposite to Nature's
intended direction.
It is believed that, should the
magnetic pole approach too near
the true north pole, the poles would
"jump" together, causing tidal
waves, earthquakes of unbelieve-
able magnitude, and possible vol-
canic eruptions throughout the
earth.
Are they getting dangerously
close?
The orbit of the Moon around
the earth depends on magnetic at-
traotion. Proof that our magnetic
system is out of order comes from
the Royal Astronomer of England.
He states that the "moon is out of
gear," and is, in consequence,
re-charting the tides for the first
time in history.
He does not say that atomic
blaSts are responsible for this con-
dition, only that the condition ex-
ists. But many people would like
to know why this has happened.
The denials by military author-
ities, government officials, and
scientists that A-bombs have caused
drastic weather changes, have be-
come notorious. Do the facts bear
out the denials?
In the September 8, 1951 issue
of Science News Letter, Jerome
N amias, Chief of the extended
forecast section of the United
States weather bureau, said that
the unusual weather conditions of
the winter of 1949-'so could per-
sist for months, and "result in ice

Dear Mr. Palmer:
~ou seem to be wavering on the

that attitude is due tO a desire to
p~ovok~ (or evoke) argument and
discussion. Well, here is a bit of
an argument on the positive side

pa.ssJOnate Deity, the creator of
thl.s solar system and everything

has . proJec~d Himself into every

<?od spend his time creating mil-
hons of new souls every day and
then condemning large proportion
of them to. ev~rl~sting punishment?
In all his mfmite power where
could He find a Hell large enough
to accommodate all the souls so
c~ndemned since the beginning of

perstition and error easily take
root in the consciousness of us
simple and trustng souls; likewise
in the consciousness of those who
cannot conceive of higher states of
being than that of the earth plane.
As its dogma, the school of reincar-
nationists assumes that the earth
is the only place within the Cre-
ator's infinite universe whereon di-
vine justice can be administered.
It assumes that the law of conse-
quences by which every act receives
its exact recompense-can only be
possible of application through a
succession of earth lives.
, The ideas are thoroughly mater-
ialistic. It is an attempt of the
external mind to harmonize good
and evil. There is nothing of high
intuition or true spiritual know-
ledge in ~he theory, and it has
never been taught by true adepts,
or those who have penetrated be-
yond the astral zones.
The seeming proofs advanced by
some who "remember" their past
lives lie buried in the mysteries of
mediumship, whereby some sensi-
tive natures come en rapport with
invisible entities: In this condition
a .semi-transfer of identity takes
place and the .sensitive person
seems to exist in some previous
age, and under such circumstances
becomes deceived by his own ig-
norance. He believes he is recall-
rng .some incarnation of the past-
that is, if be is acquainted with
the doctrines of the reincarnation-
lata. Otherwise, he may think it
a day dream. But all this is due
to the simple action of mediumahip,
and is delusion of identity.
The theory hu been foiatecl on
manJdDd by iporant, earth-boand
spirits iD the aatr.l realm aDd by
oriental sacradotal systems. It
a stumbling block to students
mysticism, for the belief tends
keep the soul in bondage to
earth plane, waiting in the
to be reincarnated again,
as he should progress onward.
There is a teaching in regard
incarnation, but it has nothing
do with the repeated re-birth
tern. This idea of incarnation
cerns the descent of the soul
from the spiritual realm to
material. In the descent, the
monad passes through many
ditions of subjective life before
reaches the external--or stage
matter. When the lowest point
materiality is reached, a
of polarity s experienced by
soul atom and it starts on its
back up the ladder of life on
objective plane. But there is
repetition in nature. Once and
only is the law.

ly benefitted the bank accounts of
large stockholders in the houses
mentioned. Where is Coley's toxin
today, and Alcresta Ipecac, and
Furunculosis, Acne, Colon, and a

Where is the Gamma globulin that
was to put an end to polio? How
much did the hog packing company
that had the job of processing hu-
man blood, make out of this deal?
The new vaccine for polio? I do
most earnestly pray that it is as
successful as predicated. But is it?
What effect will it have on those
that get it, in the ensuing years?
And what is polio, anyway? There
are some authorities, and mighty
brilliant ones, that claim that most
cases, diagnosed as polio, are
nothing but DDT poisoning. The
so-called antibiotics have killed their
tens of thousands-"Verbum sat

Probably the greatest, wisest
epigram ever enunciated was-
"QUEM VULT PERDERE DEUS,

Mr. Rasch, your comments show

Dr. Dingwall. If you will carefully
read the Pro. A.S.P.R. you will
find that certain members of the
committee were so unfriendly to
Spiritualism; they were not cap-
able of giving an unbiased, honest
opinion. You will note that the
man, Houdini, was excoriated for
his chicanery. (I'll give you page
and verse, if required). The con-
duct on the part of Wood was a
disgrace to the honor of the hu-
man race. You can also find that

fmally: truth seekers, let me quote P.lanet so-called "Clarion", in Mys-
verbat~m from a letter written by tw.
Dr. Tdlyard to Sir Oliver Lodge: What amuses me, more than
"It seems to me quite impossible amazes me, is that it is located (1)
to find a single flaw in this won- on the other side of the sun, and
derful result. But it is my object (2) on the other side of the moon.
to record scientifically that they This of course, could be anywhere
IIO MYSTIC
in the universe to be on the safe
side, but to one who is basically
familiar with oul'!> own solar sys-
tem, it would have to be within
our solar system.
It is obvious that the individuals
in question who have placed this
mythical place somewhere out in
space have not acquainted them-
selves with any facts beforehand,
but perhaps this isn't necessary if
you are making up fairy tales. The
Sun, as I understand it, is the cent-
er of our solar system, and the
Earth together with its moon, and
eight sister planets revolve about
the sun, which in turn is traveling
through space at a tremendous
speed.
In the course of our revolution
about the Sun, we surely would
have met Clarion somewhere o.n
the other side of it, when we hap-
pened to be there, and insofar as
the moon is concerned, this poor
lifeless, airless sphere which is
chained gravitationally to the
"Planet of Painful Endeavor" (and
here the progenitors of Clarion
probably wouldn't know what we
were talking about (maybe I
don't either . . . comment not for
print), we'd have spotted Clarion
somewhere between Earth and
Mars, the third and fourth planets
from the sun respectively. (I still
think we'd stand a better chance
of finding Vulca~1 between Mercury
and the sun). I guess its just the
little planet that wasn't there!
More specifically, Sir, why do
you print that stuff? Tongue in
cheek, or otherwise, as an ordin-
ary individual of mediocre intel-
lect, I consider it on insult to my
intelligence, sub-standard or other-
wise! And it certainly reveals the
calibre of the individuals who "un-
earth" such tales for the consump-
tion of John Q. Public.
Material like this with regard
in particular to the saucers about
which I have an interest, and like
to read about, is responsible for
people of science and responsible
individuals turning their backs to
the subject in general, and just
supposing in time, that people from
other planets in or out of our own
solar system do make themselves
known to us (and I don't particu-
larly want them to either) . . .
won't we look like a bunch of fools?
Here for years the saucers have
been seen here and there, and peo-
ple with any intelligence at all
deny their existence.

P. S. I rather liked your "Edi-

Of course, Mrs. Yerks, our point
exactly. This places Clarion in the
some position as Shaver's dero
and caves. But it doesn't prove
that those who talk of Clarion
aren't being truthful, only mistak-
en in their interpretation of what
is happening to them. .Where do
your very true and very scientific
arguments go, if we interpret
Clarion as being in another dimen-
sion, or one of the worlds of the
dead? Then it could be behind the
city hall, for all we'd be able to
detect it with a telescope. What
we're trying to do is bring all

Dear Mr. Palmer:
The other day some friends and
I were discussing various subjects
when the flying saucer mystery
came up. One of the fellows start-
ed the ball rolling by saying though
there are seemingly honest reports
of saucers landing to have their
alien occupants alight briefly, al-
ways does this occur in unpopulat-
ed areas of the Earth, with eye-
witnesses few in number. Why, he
wanted to know, doesn't a flying
saucer descend on the White House
lawn in broad daylight, ask for
global communication facilities, and
give mankind vital, signjficant
messages, if such exist?
Well, I happened 't o have read
both disk books written by Daniel
W. Fry, who claims to have com-
municated with an extra-terres-
trial. This very question was asked
by Fry. He was told such a land-
ing would prove unsuccessful. First,
there is the psychological angle.
If aliens appeared as members
of a superior race to lead Earth-
ians, about 30% would look upon
them as Gods, placing on the)n all '
responsibility for their own wel-
fare. Most of the remaining 70%
would regard the aliens as poten-
tial tyrants who were planning
Earth's slavery. The immediate
goal of these 70 percenters would
be the aliens' utter annihilation.
Humans, it was carefully pointed
out, must be lead by human leaders.
Immediately upon landing on the
White House lawn, the aliens would

is to protect the heads of their
government from any possible
danger. The aliens would be ques-
fore any request of theirs would
even be given consideration. They
would be forced to demonstrate
their scientific superiority, after
which the military leaders would
inevitably say it was imperative
that their country acquire and
"protect" this advanced scientific
knowledge. Today, the attitude of
all progressive Earth governments
is that all new knowledge, particu-
larly scientific, is the property of
the state.
Among other things, Fry asked:
if the aliens gave the U. S. their
highly advanced technical know-
ledge, wouldn't that tend to pre-
vent the outbreak of another major
war? The extra-terrestrial dis-
agreed, explaining that a landing
in the U. S. would have the gov-
ernment attempting to keep it a
secret. But in this it would not
succeed. No more than it succeeded
in keeping the secret of its nuclear
weapons. For when Russia learned
what was going on, they would
believe that their only hope of
avoiding complete U. S. domina-
tion would be to launch an imme-
diate attack. A simultaneous land-
ing in both countries would only
intensify . the existing race for
armaments. Eventual result--
HOLOCAUST!
Now, Mr. Palmer, what is the
editorial comment?

II2 MYSTIC
I had flown over a military estab-
lishment in a yellow plane, had
been fired upon, but had escaped,
but now they had me, and they had
the goods on me, in the form of the
actual negat'ive from the camera
with which I had taken the pic-
ture. (It was a picture of Hia-
watha Falls, in your own country,
and I took it from my red Buick,
actually.) But remembering how
the Army fooled around for a week,
making these stupid claims (no,
they were lies, because they knew
the photo wasn't of a military in-
stallation all the time), when it
would have dumped their whole
case in the junkyard in ten min-
utes had they a print of the neg-
ative in question. I can well under-
stand how Fry is right. Yes, if a
saucer landed on the White House
Lawn, 1'111 sure we would see the
all-time ?'ecord for stupid behavior.
You'd have the thing so " classi-
fied" it would be filed under the
27th letter of the alphabet! The
only question a general could think
of asking a ~ace visitor would be
"what kind of weapons have you,
and how do they work?" and then
he wouldn't believe he wasn't hold-
ing back the REAL weapon when
he was told. Don't ask me such
silly questions, Alex. I get awful
irate every time I think of the
brass. I'm not a fair recipient of
such questions, because I'm so pre.
iudiced I get downright insulting
whenever I try to spell the word
colon-el.-Rap.
Dear Ray Palmer :
It is possible you may recall my
name as that of a science-fiction
writer back in the 1920's and 1930's.
I have been a reader of MYSTIC
and FATE ever since they first
appeared. The purpose of this let-
ter, however, is to express my
opinion of such writers to the
Seance Circle as David Stevens,
in your April number.
Doesn't he realize that the mind
can adventure anywhere? To his
orthodox mind OAHSPE (about
which, by the way, I knew nothing
until I read the article in MYS-
TIC) is untrue because it isn't
well-known "inspired" scripture.
You never state any of your
arti~les as whole truth and nothing
but the truth. Naturally you expect
your readers to exercise some de-
gree of selectivity. If I don't swal-
low every word, hook, line and
sinker, I feel no resentment, as so
many of your readers seem to do,
that something is being foisted on
them, and they are eternally sus-
picious o.f being "taken in". Natur-
ally you can't prove or disprove
every word you print.
Where is their spirit of mental
adventure if they won't try intell-
igently to sift the wheat from the
chaff in all they read? Often I
find later, myself, that I have dis-
carded some wheat, and am glad
to go back after it! Why this fear
of distrust of their own mental
discriJDination? Don't they enjoy
exercising it? I do, and a lot of
other people I know do too.
Personally, for instance, I don't
now believe in the planet Clarion,
but my mind is held in abeyance.
It might be true. I feel no person-
al affront because some do. I'm
(illllt waiting for more evidence
either way.
I am a member of the Philo-
sophical Research Society, and
naturally I dislike anything that

learning for yourself a very great
deal about mental illness in order
to protect your readers. As you well
know, there are mentally ill people
who latch onto such experimental
stuff as you put out and use it to
prove their own delusional systems to
their own satisfactions if not to the
satisfaction of those who are trying
to help them back to an adequate
adjustment.
From this point of view, I have
long considered Richard Shaver one
of the most dangerous individuals
in the United States from a mental
health viewpoint. Voices of "evil"
content, bedeviling, reviling voices
or voices which prompt the victim
to evil deeds are products of the
unconscious minds of those who hear
them. They represent the impulses
and opinions of the repressed, un-
acceptable part of the victim's own
personality. Only by coming to un-
derstand these unacceptable impuls-
es and find acceptable outlets for
them, can the mentally ill person
find his way back to reality. Wheth-
er or not there is a universal or col-
lective unconscious mind is a matter
for further research, but it is cer-
tainly unhealthy not to recognize
these phenomena as being in the
mental sphere.
At the time when I first read
~ichard Shaver's material in
AMAZING STORIE"S, I wrote some-
thing to this effect to the magazine
and they were so unethical as to
turn my letter over to Shaver, who
wrote to me. I wish I had preserved
his very interesting letter, which
comprised a request that I tip him
off psychiatrically so that he could
avoid being taken for a schizophre-
nic. I ~ferred him to a psychiatrist
in his area and challenged him to
go in for an interview and that is
