WASHINGTON. Feb. 25. (U. P.)
Secretary of the Navy Knox declared
today that there is no positive
evidence that there were any
planes in the Los Angeles area
during the night.
"My understanding Is that no
planes were found," he said.
Knox said his information indicated
it was "just a false alarm."
"There were no planes over Los
Angeles last night, at least that's
our understanding," the secretary
declared. "None have been found
and a very wide reconnaissance
has been carried out."
