On Flying Saucers A strange-looking, long, bright object settled close to the earth, hovered there a few minutes, then disappeared, Several Akron, Ohio, residehts spotted it. They fired off reports to the Air Force. Its Unidentified Flying Objects task force went into action, in- vestigated. Just what was that strange bright object which hovered close to the earth out in Akron one night last year? The answer, dis- closed by the Air Force last week: The Moen., The UFO force, reporting on one of the 483 inves- tigations it conducted last year, explained 'that the moon often seems to assume an elliptical shape when it is near the horizon. Since 1947, when Idaho pilot Kenneth Arnold reported nine circular objects zipping in tight formation around Mount Rainier, the Air Force has logged investis gations into 7,369 UFO reports; "Usually we get More static from areas 'With active UFO organiza- tions," a spokesman said. Of last year's 483 reports* he said, astronomical phenOinena ac- counted for 175, aircraft for 55, balloons for 33, satellites for 66, birds and spotlights and such for 56, Ninety nine reportS contain. insufficient data for checking, Among all the strange flying.

Although he was 75 at the time, and Was never again in play his violin in public, there Was little doubt in anybody's mind that Kreisler had, as al- ways, been too modest, There was a first violinist in the world, and for at least half a century it had been Fritz Kreisler. On Occasion, others might have played with more dizzying' dex- terity or blinding speed, but no one had a warmer, sweeteretone, a nobler sense of purpose, or' a finer feeling for the instrument itselfl As his friend. Bruno Wal- ter observed: "He did not play the' violin, he became, the violin." Kreisler was the one violinist' about whom .his rival virtuosos could agree, Although his aristo- cratic elegance was typical of his native Vienna, he faveered no school of playing over any other. ,H Fs influence was universally felt, even in Russia, whose con- servatories have turned out such fiddling giants as Jascha Heifetz, Nathan Milstein, and David Oistrakh. To this day, the magic of Kreisler's style has not dimmed for the Soviets. When it was an- nounced in NevV York last month that the violinist had died of a heart attack just four days before his 87th birthday, Rus- sian .,violinist Igor Oistrakh, the 30-year-old son of David Ois- trakh, said with great feeling: "As far as I'm concerned, he's the ideal of a musician." Young Oistrakh, who has just launched his first American tour, said his father, too, revered Kreisler. "He knew him personally, My father teaches at t he Conservatory of Music in Moscow, and last year gave an evening devoted to Kreisler, discussing his! records." Kreisler, who was asi loved by the multitude as by the music- ally informed, deplored the fact that young musicians• were "afraid of sentiment." Because of his unblushing sympathy for schmaltz, there were many mu- sicians who felt that Kreisler, the composer of such Viennese bonbons as "The Old Refrain" and "Caprice Viennois," suffered from an overabundance of emo- tion, As a composer, however, Kreisler could work up pieces in the most approved classical style, as he did early in his ca- reer when he perpetrated the now-famous Kr e i s 1 e r "hoax." For y ears he had, programed "arrangements" of such old mas- ters as Couperin, Vivaldi, and Paganini, In 1935, he confessed he had written them all himself. "I was desirous of enlarging my programs," he said. "I found it impudent and• tactless to repeat my name endlessly on the pro- grams." A wonder-child who made his American debut at 13, Kreisler nonetheless believed that an artist should be a roundly devel- oped man. Forswearing the fid- dle for a time, he studied medi- cine, became an Austrian Army officer, and was nearly killed in - action in World War I, Twenty years ago, he again narrowly es- caped death after a truck hit him as he was crossing New York's Madison. Avenue. Miraculously, he lived to play again. "I would still play the violin," he once said, "even if I were fined and punished," PERSONAL PRAYER. Future black, overcome by worry, temptation?

Dig Up Relics Of Alfred The Great ! In Cheddar, the small Sorner- setshire village over which, the gorges of the Mendip Hills rise dramatically, w he r e primeval rock face flanks modern cottages and gardens, the excavation of a remarkable series of buildings throws light on thp dark pages of King Alfred's Saxon England. Excavations on what is thought to be King Alfred's palace at Cheddar are to be resumed in March. Bad weather in Decem- ber, 1961, stopped the dig, which is uncovering a succession of royal, palaces over a large area from the time of Alfred, King of Wessex from 871 to 899, to that of King John of Magna Carta fame, 1199 to 1216. On rebuilding, each king chose fresh ground for a new palace, a few •yards from the old one. One of the most important finds is reported to be' the remains of a Saxon timber hall, 80 feet by 18 feet, the largest Saxon build- ing found south of the Northum- brian Saxon district between the Tyne River and the Cheviot Hills. The building now uncovered is believed to have been the great hall of Alfred's palace, the dining hall where the thegns and the thralls gathered to hear the words of the sagas chanted by the gleemen as the smoke drifted skywards. All too few of the words of these Old English storytellers have come down to us. Not till medieval times, when. Chaucer and other ballad mak- ers wrote of the lives of the peo- ple, of their joy irl wood and flower and meadow, of the ex- hilaration of the tourney and the hunt, can we imagine what it was like to live in the England of those days, It seems sad, therefore, to read that the diggers are engaged in a race against time to complete the dig before handing the site back to the builders of a modern school, Over the great hall or Alfred's palace, they have found a small 10th-century wooden chapel, and above this a stone chapel repair- ed in the 13th century. The excavators-also have found the kiln which supplied the mor- tar for this repair and the pit for the casting of a 13th-century bell. The mold was made of peat and still contained traces of bell metal slag. To the south of the site, more buildings have been •found. One is a massive aisled hall, 110 feet by 50 feet, the largest timber hail so far known in England, 'and probably built by. Henry I, youngest son of William the Con- queror. The hall had been. re- built, partly in stone, Some ex- perts think this may be' the work referred to in the Royal Roll for 1209, when King .Tohn spent £50 on "his .houses of Cheddar" and the timber was brought from Wales, writes Melita Knowles in the Christian Science Monitor. Two ditches crossing the north part of the site and thought to be part of a defensive earthwork yielded valuable small finds. They include coins of Ethelwulf, King Alfred's father (about 845), Burgred of Mercia (870), Athel- stan, Alfred's grandson (930), and. Ethelred II (1100). Royal occupation of the palace first built by Alfred ended in the reign of. King John about 1213, when it was given to the Bishop of Wells, The Witenage- mot (Meeting of the Wisemen or Parliament) took place at this stead in 960 and 968. King Alfred the Great was the first warrior king in the great feudal tradition. He and his son. welded England together for the first time. In the custom of the chaotic times, when the King must lead his people in peace as in war, King Alfred was the great pioneer of education, a man who although a King,' himself taught and governed and fought with his people. He was administrator, scholar warrior, in an epoch when the Danes must be fought and before professional men could. give themselves over entirely to learn- ing.
