Dr. Sprinkle&#13;
&#13;
Dr. F, Dr. H, Dr. S --&#13;
&#13;
In your observance of the phenomena I am causing to happen...you are now privy to one of the strongest demonstrations the Si's (UFO intelligences) have given to date. Using me, of course, as their link, or human contact, to inform you and keep you informed.&#13;
&#13;
The reason for this letter...the Si's are now holding the drought locked onto the United States, with special targets being Texas and Florida. I notified you that this would occur...long before the current Texas, Oklahoma and Florida record drought began.&#13;
&#13;
I also warned H. Ross Perot, the billionaire...quite some time ago...that the Si's would devastate Texas with drought, because he would not help me. It has since come to pass.&#13;
&#13;
I also warned Evelyn Goodman, of Miami, Florida (wife of a prominent architect there) that Florida would be struck with a terrible drought...quite some time ago. She wrote back that it was raining down there copiously (this was quite some time ago, you see). I wrote her back to just wait...until the PK built up. Since that time it has...and Florida is now burning, literally. And instead of raining in Miami...the people are suffering from smoke inhalation.&#13;
&#13;
But this drought, gentlemen, is only beginning...even though the water table in Florida is dropping an inch a day...the drought must continue until I get the financial help that I need to carry out the Si assignments, $100,000. Perhaps someone high up in government might listen, I really don't know. Texas has suffered a billion dollars already in drought damage; two thirds of Oklahoma is, I understand, a disaster area from drought. And large portions of Florida are burned up, or burning up.&#13;
&#13;
As I wrote to you last winter, in my regular Contact correspondence, this summer will be a searing hot blazing hell in the United States (check your file and see).&#13;
&#13;
It isn't just the lack of rain...but the penetrating effect of the sun's rays, in an unprecedented manner, that is causing this record drought...the "lens effect" that I explained to you in a recent letter.&#13;
&#13;
Am I doing it? Are the Si's doing it? What ODE (other-dimensional effects, of which I have 180 to use) methods are brought into play? Well, that's my secret. Since I am not a scientist, then I can be unscientific. But I do keep you well informed what is ahead. And what is ahead...is more of the same penetrating drought which will make this a nightmare summer...for the United States, and the farmers and ranchers. Unless I get my help so that I can help the Si's. If I do...get the help...then I can change the picture entirely, with Si help...bringing relief and rain to the entire United States quickly, thoroughly, gently and consistently. If...that is...I get the help I need. No answer to this is needed. But by now you know what I can do...and it would be wise to pass the word on, if you can...to persons who might be willing to make a deal with the Si's...in order to keep the U.S. from frying.&#13;

President Nixon  &#13;
White House  &#13;
Washington, D.C.&#13;
&#13;
Dear President Nixon:&#13;
&#13;
My name is Ted Owens, called the "PK Man". I refer you to articles in Saga Magazine, written by Mr. Otto Binder, in Aug. and Sept., 1970, issues; also January, March and April issues. Also I just finished giving a trifling, relatively unimportant demonstration of my ability to control a pro basketball team mentally...written up in the Baltimore Sun Newspaper, the Washington Post, and the local paper in Norfolk. However, this is digressing.&#13;
&#13;
For quite a long while...I have wondered what the UFO intelligences (same ones discovered by your NASA team in the Bahamas, led by Dr. Wright) had in mind for me, their only human representative and confidant. I have been communicating with them for about six years, back and forth...and documenting it with lawyers, scientists, etc.&#13;
&#13;
Today, just ten minutes ago...they broke through to my mind and told me what they want now. It is a different plan than they have had...but it is necessitated because, although they have proven that they are quite real...and proven that they communicate with me, by aforesaid documentation...no human, or human agency, has cooperated with me...in their, the SI (UFO), effort to save mankind by putting things to right in the world, bringing mankind back into balance, and friendship, with Nature...and blocking an oncoming nuclear war.&#13;
&#13;
It is their wish now...that I be made a member of the United Nations. The UFO's wish to be represented. By myself. I will be their ambassador of goodwill. In this capacity, it will be my duty to constantly bring about miracles, through SI-power, all over the world...constructive miracles...to help get the world back into proper order. This, actually, is the only real objective of the UFO's...always has been...but negative demonstrations have been necessary in order to prove their reality, their powers, through me, with advance documentation of what they would do.&#13;
&#13;
I do urge you to give this unprecedented suggestion serious thought. My credentials are quite solid...am a member of Mensa, thus am no "man on the street"...and I have proven time and again my solid connection with the UFO intelligences. A priceless gift for the human race, this would be, if it were accepted.&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely,&#13;

May 10, 1971..........TO ALL CONTACTS Dr. Sprinkle&#13;
&#13;
The enclosed material..will show you that I am just as accurate as ever in my "PK work". Causing things to happen.&#13;
&#13;
(1) Is copy of my letter to you of March 23, 1971...stating that the Si's would, from now on, attack space shots. (Also see my P.S. that I was putting fire and drought on the U.S.)&#13;
&#13;
(2) Newsclips from today's papers...the Mars rocket shot which NASA had spent years preparing...fell into the Atlantic Ocean. NASA wonders why. They should have read my contact letter to you...then they would know why.&#13;
&#13;
(3) Is a copy of a letter that I sent to Dr. Max Fogel on March 30...in which I spell out exactly, in detail, how I am going to apply fire and drought to the U.S! My "PK work" with other-dimensional mechanisms...has been fantastically successful. I assume you've been reading in the papers and seeing TV news stories about Texas, Oklahoma, Florida...and other drought-stricken areas of the U.S.&#13;
&#13;
Also you will note that almost daily now there are tornado attacks over the U.S. This is because of the "grid" that I have activated over the U.S. an "ODE grid", containing mechanisms from the other dimension.&#13;
&#13;
Last week was on the Allen Douglas Show, radio, Cleveland, Ohio, for an hour in the evening (NBC). (Show covers 38 States). Also was on the David Webster show in Norfolk, radio, WOWI, for half an hour.&#13;
&#13;
Enclosed is xerox of page from Sports Illustrated magazine, May 3, 1971...which contains an article on my work. The writer was a bit haywire. I have never been in or even near, a carnival...either to attend one or to throw knives in one. And instead of his "photokinetic" substitute psychokinetic.&#13;
&#13;
Also coming up in the near future...an article in Sport Magazine, which you can look for.&#13;
&#13;
Am keeping you posted...on what I am doing, accomplishing, and why.&#13;

Hows my "Nevada PK" doing? Not only has Nevada had recent earthquakes but Nevada is now "sinking"!! The land level is falling!! I just got this report. Owens&#13;
&#13;
The Si's told me last night... that the U.S. will be in danger of "physical take-over" within 8 weeks' time. This is hard for me to believe. But they said it. Owens&#13;

PS - This xerox and mailing, cost me $15. Anyone want to chip in a few bucks to help out?&#13;

March 23, 1971...TO ALL CONTACTS (Attention: Govt. agencies and scientists!)&#13;
&#13;
All right...this message is VITAL. The Si's communicated with me today and told me to pass on the following (and SOMEBODY had better LISTEN and get it out to the PEOPLE): (1) again they warn that ALL ANIMALS IN THE WORLD now are armed! (Keep in mind that big seal-boat which the ice just sank after baby seals were killed). The rule is: any hunter or human who kills an animal, and does not need it for food directly...will be tracked down and destroyed himself by the PK guarding that animal. The omniscient Omnipotent PK can rightly judge. (2) POLLUTION OF THE WATERS OF THE WORLD. The Si's give mankind just 90 days...to pass this word on around the world...before they begin their own PK action. Humans will no longer be ALLOWED to foul up the rivers, streams, lakes and oceans. The Si's give humans just 90 more days to quit fouling the waters of the earth...THEN THEY WILL TURN ALL THE WATERS OF THE EARTH AGAINST ALL HUMANS...AGAINST MANKIND...AND IT WILL BE AN ALL-OUT WAR. And they remind us that we get the air we breathe from the seas and the oceans. The choice is ours to make. (3) The Si's have made a concrete decision. Remember, I managed to persuade the Si's to allow the Apollo 12 and 13 astronauts to return back to earth. The Si's had intended at that time to teach mankind a lesson by destroying the astronauts...but in deference to their only human link, myself, they softened. No more. Their warning today is loud and clear. They are now making the space around the earth, orbital space, deadly to humans. From now on any humans passing through the orbital zone or going into orbit...will be attacked by the same PK which the ancient Egyptians used to place in their tombs to attack those who opened the seal on the tombs. It is a guarantee of a tragic, violent death. If the next Apollo shot goes up...it does so after having been fairly warned by the Si's in this Contact letter. The Si's tell mankind to forget the moon...the Si's are trying to get the earth back into good condition. "Business as usual" people and politicians and the military will not like this at all. But the Si's say it is the only way. And they'll be hard about it. This applies to Americans, Russians, whatever. They say: GET YOUR EARTH BACK INTO GOOD CONDITION BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT OUTER SPACE...then after we get our earth back into balance with Nature...the Si's will allow us to make the outer space gambit. (Interesting: the Si's told me that the oceans and seas have a deep intelligence which we humans are not aware of...because of the limitations of our senses that cannot comprehend or understand.)&#13;
&#13;
Incidentally, see my '71 prediction letter of Jan. 14. Billy Graham has just had his operation...and Sinatra has just retired permanently (to spend all his time with family, and with "a persistent pain in his right hand." (Cancer?)&#13;
&#13;
I have many more things to tell you...but will have to wait until I am able, financially, to do so. Am awaiting to hear from a deal now...that could make it so...and make it possible for me to team with the Si's and Nature to make the earth and mankind healthy and at peace.&#13;
&#13;
In closing...the Si's, in a goodwill gesture toward our govt., warn that militants will next use rockets and mortars in a surprise attack on our White House and other key buildings around it..Viet Cong style. It will be a "symbolic" attack, like the bomb that was planted in one of the buildings a short while ago.&#13;

In-Flight Mars Orbiter Lost&#13;

&#13;
CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. (AP) -An attempt to send multimillion-dollar spacecraft Mariner 8 to an orbit of the planet Mars failed Saturday night when the second stage of the booster rocket tumbled out of control and plummeted into the Atlantic Ocean.&#13;
&#13;
"The mission is lost," the launch control center announced 15 minutes after an 11-story tall Atlas-Centaur rocket blazed away from Cape Kennedy at 9:11 EDT to hurl the 2,200-pound explorer toward its distant target.&#13;
&#13;
A spokesman for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said the first stage performed perfectly during its first four minutes of flight and that the Centaur stage had separated and ignited but moments later there was trouble.&#13;
&#13;
"We had a serious problem," he said. "Our tracking charts fell off and we were not on course."&#13;
&#13;
Officials reported after studying radio data that the second stage began to deviate from course about 20 seconds after ignition and that it tumbled out of control at an altitude of 92 miles.&#13;
&#13;
They said the rocket stage and its precious payload fell into the Atlantic Ocean about 900 miles southeast of Cape Kennedy, some 250 miles north of Puerto Rico.&#13;
&#13;
Initial examination of data indicated there was electronic failure in the flight control system of the Centaur stage.&#13;
&#13;
The failure was a bitter disappointment for scientists of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., who built the payload, the first intended to orbit another planet. They had been working several years to develop it and a twin-spacecraft Mariner 9.&#13;
&#13;
Mariner 9 had been scheduled&#13;
&#13;

&#13;
From Page 1&#13;
&#13;
for launching toward an orbit of Mars May 18 but that flight probably will be delayed because of the trouble Saturday night.&#13;
&#13;
Experts will want to determine precisely what went wrong with the Centaur stage before committing to another launch.&#13;
&#13;
The space agency has until June 17 to launch Mariner 9. Then Mars moves out of favorable position, and will not be available for a target again until July 1973.&#13;
&#13;
No decision on Mariner 9 is expected for several days. Its Atlas Centaur rocket is sitting on a launch pad adjacent to the one used Saturday night.&#13;
&#13;
Total cost of the two missions is $153.6 million.&#13;
&#13;
The Centaur stage was to have fired for seven and one-half minutes to thrust Mariner 8 toward Mars at a speed of 24,600 miles per hour. The 2,200-pound spacecraft was to have traveled 287 million miles to reach the planet next November.&#13;
&#13;
With two space ships orbiting Mars, scientists would have been able to conduct different but complementary missions.&#13;
&#13;
Mariner 8 was to have performed a broad reconnaissance and mapping assignment. Mariner 9 was to have photographed six selected areas every five days to detect atmospheric, surface and seasonal changes.&#13;
&#13;
The two were to have relayed a total of about 8,100 closeup photographs as they swooped to within 530 miles of the surface during their expected three-month orbital lifetimes.&#13;
&#13;
The pictures, plus data obtained by sensors, could determine if a primitive form of life might exist on Mars.&#13;
&#13;
Officials emphasized the satellites were not equipped to find life but could detect conditions in which some form of life might exist, such as microbes, bacteria or rudimentary plants.&#13;
&#13;
Note: The Six not only knocked the Mars shot out of the sky - but they attacked and forced down the 3-man Russian team that went up into orbit a few weeks ago. The team, according to news reports, had to come back down because of "human and mechanical" trouble.&#13;

&#13;
Today is May 9, 1971. By this time Texas &amp; Oklahoma and Florida are disaster areas from fire and drought (other states also are drought-stricken)&#13;
&#13;
Dear Dr. Fogel:&#13;
&#13;
I thought I should explain specifically what I mean by "I am putting fire and drought on the U.S."&#13;
&#13;
Some years ago, even before I knew that it was the UFO's that I was in contact with...I took a map of the U.S. and put red asterisks all over it...and in my brain, using mental imagery, opened the "red box" which "the intelligence behind Nature" had instructed me to use...and mentally visualized red units being dispersed all over the map of the U.S. That year there were spectacular fires everywhere...west coast, Florida, everywhere.&#13;
&#13;
I am now repeating this exercise. Recently in Texas some old duffer was offered ten thousand to make it rain...he heated bricks or something. Laughable. And here my family and I are, literally starving...no job...and all of this power.&#13;
&#13;
So...I am repeating my exercise of some years ago. Will bring onto this country one of the worst sieges of fires and drought and heat...probably in history.&#13;
&#13;
Then perhaps, just perhaps...somebody will hire PK Men to bring rain and relief to the U.S. And I will be able to carry out PSI assignments. I have never failed, whether in Arizona, California, Nevada, Philadelphia, Miami or Norfolk...to make it pour rain and storm, and save the crops. Always I have been more than successful. Yet will anybody employ my services? Nope. Well, now we'll see.&#13;
&#13;
I am going to put the entire country over a barrel. The only human who can extricate the country from its predicament...is me. If something should happen to me...it will stay that way, forever. Fixed.&#13;
&#13;
This coming spring and summer...the entire U.S. will be blanketed with terrible heat...crops burned out...fires in forests everywhere, and in other places (causes unknown...like heat). Ships, even.&#13;
&#13;
If PK Men is still not hired, with all this heat-carnage going on...then I'll set up a winter next winter the U.S. will never forget.&#13;
&#13;
If the govt. thinks that I am a nut, then they have nothing to worry about.&#13;
&#13;
But I have ten years of experience of working in this psi-force medium under my belt...know every twist and turn...every cause and effect. From now on...it's me against the U.S. Govt., until I get the backing I need to carry out PSI assignments.&#13;
&#13;
It's comical to me...to see the Vice Pres. and other politicians backing and filling...and the Vietnam war getting so much play. Comical. I have so much power, truthfully now...that the combined military forces of the entire world...couldn't stand against what I could throw at them. I could sink all their ships; all their subs; knock down their planes; knock down their space ships; tear apart their armies and navies. Most of this, Dr. Fogel, has already been done in small measure and it is documented. But believe me when I tell you that it is actually true. If you ever want...I'll break down that last seemingly false claim...in detail for you. Tell you what I've done, and how I've done it. It is incredible; yet it is documented. And I could repeat it again, on a grand scale, world-wide. My power is not limited. Just my personal energy.&#13;
&#13;
Best to you, my friend...&#13;

Cagney is intensely worried about our environment and, in a break from his usual practice, is permitting us to identify the poet by his real name. The poem:&#13;

Here comes Coach Hank Stram, strolling around Palm Beach, Fla. with his wife and another couple. Hank is carrying a camera and his wife is carrying a large, yellow, flowered bag. Mrs. Stram spots a house she wants to photograph; she takes the camera and asks Hank to hold her bag. This is the moment, naturally, when a couple of teenage girls pass by.&#13;
&#13;
"Hey," says one of them. "Isn't that Hank Stram, the coach of the Kansas City Chiefs?"&#13;
&#13;
"Which one?" her companion asks.&#13;

"That one," says the first girl. "The guy with the yellow purse."&#13;

Photokinetic and Space Intelligence Man of the Week (not too many contenders in this category) is Ted Owens of Norfolk, Va. Owens signs himself P. K. Man, meaning photokinetic, and has been described as "basically a legal secretary who's also been a knife-thrower in a carnival and a rainmaker in Miami." However, none of these neat pursuits seemed to bring in much money, so back in February Owens decided to cast a spell upon the Baltimore Colts. And charge $100,000 to unhex them. Now, was it Owens' fault that Johnny Unitas tore his Achilles' tendon, Tom Matte got appendicitis and Sam Havrilak sprained his ankle? Well, when a Philadelphia writer challenged Owens to "prove you can do something" the P. K. Man announced he would hex Tom Woodeshick of the Eagles, and within 15 minutes Woodeshick was ejected from the game for fighting. Colt Owner Carroll Rosenbloom has dropped Owens a polite note requesting him to remove Baltimore from his list of losers. "If you will advise me as to a course of action which we could follow . . . I will do whatever I can to comply," Rosenbloom wrote. But the question seems to be, will he come across with the $100,000?&#13;

At Washington &amp; Lee they've finally got that skeleton out of the closet. Back in 1872, two years after the death of Robert E. Lee, the general's favorite horse, Traveller, also died. For many years the horse's assembled bones were on display at the Lee Museum--folks used to enjoy that sort of thing--but then they were put into storage in 1963. Now the skeleton has been suitably and finally buried, complete with marker, in a spot, we are happy to report, not far from the Lee family crypt.&#13;

● "America Is . . ." was the theme of the fashionable Cleveland Skating Club's annual ice show, held this year to raise money for the Olympics. Among the things the club felt America was was Bob Feller, out there on the ice pitching a plastic ball to local Little Leaguers. Without spikes--or skates. "This is more dangerous than facing Joe DiMaggio with the bases loaded," Feller observed. Which shows how long it's been since he's faced DiMaggio with the bases loaded.&#13;

This week's Folksiness Award (the SPORTS ILLUSTRATED linsey-woolsey muffler) goes to Oriole Third Baseman Brooks Robinson for his remarks at a Saints and Sinners banquet gathering in his honor in Baltimore. "I been aroun' the world--Kentucky twice," Brooks confided. "Been to two great ropin's, three chicken pluckin's, and I never seen nothin' like this in all my born days!" We figured this beat Harold Morris (Gomer) Hodge of the Indians, with his explanation that his home town of Rutherfordton, N.C. was located "somewhere 'tween Asheville an' Spartanburg, but a whole lot closer to Spindale, Sandy Mush and Frog Level." We figured that way because Robinson's quote had more words in it.&#13;

"We're getting old, with nothing to do," a gray-haired witness identified as Grandma Kelly told the Illinois state legislature recently. "I don't smoke or drink or go to racetracks. We've got to have Bingo." Well, after that the legislature voted for the second year in a row to legalize Bingo. So if Governor Richard Ogilvie vetoes the measure--for the second year in a row--it's all his fault if Grandma Kelly takes up smoking and drinking and going to racetracks.&#13;

To use this space -- I want you to know -- that I am going to bring rains to Africa -- to save the animals. I am going to drive out the white people from Africa -- leaving Africa to the (1) wild animals, and (2) the black natives, in that order of importance.&#13;

I am turning Africa back -- to how it used to be in 1700 -- 1800. Whites who get in the way of this -- might as well step in front of a speeding truck.&#13;

TO ALL CONTACTS&#13;
&#13;
CBS-Television flew a special crew down to Norfolk today, headed by Heywood Broun, Jr., to do a TV special on me and my work. From New York.&#13;
&#13;
It will appear on national television this coming Friday, Saturday or Sunday...so watch your TV news broadcasts, and keep it on CBS all week through the weekend. And you should be able to see it.&#13;
&#13;
It was a delight...to work with Heywood Broun, Jr., and this crew. They are creative, I had rapport with them...and best of all, three of the crew were from Indianapolis, Indiana...near my home town, Bedford, Indiana.&#13;
&#13;
I took some personal pictures of Broun, Larry Maddry, Bud and myself...and will have some copies made and sent to you later.&#13;
&#13;
It may well be...that this coming fall...CBS will set up a special deal...where I will PK the Baltimore Colts...and special sportscasters will sit in the stands and fight me against it. It should be fascinating. And of course...it will be covered by CBS-TV to be shown on national TV later.&#13;
&#13;
By the way...you will notice that I warned you about the stock market long weeks ago...and yesterday the market dropped almost 15 points! (And of course, it will get much worse.)&#13;
&#13;
Best to you all..........&#13;

Dear Larry:&#13;
&#13;
Although we have just finished with the CBS crew on the subject of the Colts...I feel that I must "pop off in a different direction" today, Thursday.&#13;
&#13;
Mt. Etna, in Italy, is sweeping a mile-wide, 18-foot-deep swat of molten lava toward farms and villages...burning up everything in its path.&#13;
&#13;
This morning, 9:50 a.m., I am using both my mental power...and the SI other-dimensional power...to stop Mt. Etna, stop the eruption, stop the molten lava from destroying farms and villages. Since psi-power (ESP etc.) is not affected by time and space (or mess, I have found) then I can do this mentally from Norfolk.&#13;
&#13;
Now we shall see what happens in the days to come.&#13;
&#13;
Sincerely,  &#13;

P.S. One point I should have brought up when Brown was here...which do you think...is the most powerful, Larry? A laser ray, or psi-force power? (You of course know what a laser can do.) Answer: a laser ray, in comparison with psi-force power (which I employ), is like a tiny firecracker compared with a nuclear explosion. Or a gnat compared with an elephant. A prominent physicist (hell, I spelled that wrong...wouldn't I make a lousy scientist?) stated that psi-force (which embodies PK, or psychokinesis) may well be the fifth great power of the Universe. (You can check with Otto Binder on that, and he will confirm.) And psi-force...is what I have been, and am, and will, be using in my demonstrations.&#13;

* Notified Dr Hynek My wife. Dr. Fogel, also.&#13;
&#13;
This is one of the most exciting things..........I have ever done.&#13;
&#13;
You know, of course, how I have documented in advance..........creating three simultaneous hurricanes..........guiding hurricanes against the predictions of the Hurricane Center in Miami..........ending droughts..........creating droughts..........making UFO's appear over cities..........and so on for about 250 miracles. Here is a new one. The first time I have gone one-on-one with a molten-lava-belching volcano.&#13;
&#13;
How it all happened (my UFOs saved this village of Santalfio in Sicily) was as follows:&#13;
&#13;
Last Thursday I read where the fiery molten lava was pouring down on this town of Santalfio in Sicily. The news item read that the lava couldn't miss..........the people and the town were right directly in its path. So I picked up the phone and called Larry Maddry, reporter for the Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk..........and told him that I would use my considerable powers..........and telepath to the UFO intelligences I am linked up with, to save this village and its people. On that day, Thursday, I sent a letter to him, backing it up in writing..........with copies to Otto Binder, and two scientists who are overseeing my work. * It is thoroughly documented (.)&#13;
&#13;
I used a shotgun approach..........my own brain, plus telepathing to Si control..........to bring this about.&#13;
&#13;
Saturday night, two days later, the fiery flow of lava..........a mile wide and eighteen feet deep..........burning up everything in its path..........miraculously diverted and flowed to one side of the town, saving the 4,000 people there.&#13;
&#13;
No finer demonstration of Si power would you ever want to see. I told four very responsible people..........two days in advance..........specifically what I was going to try to accomplish. And I accomplished it.&#13;
&#13;
Ted Owens (PK Man)&#13;
&#13;
* I specified to Larry Maddry I would try to save Santalfio by Sunday! And I succeeded!&#13;
&#13;
* Pointing out to him, that if I could stop this volcano and save Santalfio... then it would of course be a snap to stop 13 football teams.&#13;

# Lava diverted past town&#13;
&#13;
By DOMENICO GIORDANO&#13;
&#13;
SANT'ALFIO, Sicily (AP) -- The flaming river of lava from Mt. Etna ran into a small hill today and flowed around it into a deserted canyon, sparing this town of 4,000 persons.&#13;
&#13;
"We are safe, we are safe", Mayor Salvatore Cozzubbo shouted happily. "Most of our land is burnt, but the town is safe."&#13;
&#13;
The lava, which has slowed its pace, began a 2½-mile ride down the Cavagrande Canyon to the sea, with no town or village in its path.&#13;
&#13;
"The canyon is steep and straight. The lava will just keep on going down," Cozzubbo said.&#13;
&#13;
The townfolk prepared to celebrate. Sant'Alfio was spared in 1928 by another lava flow, which skirted the town and hit nearby Mafcali.&#13;
&#13;
The lava has already burnt crops and dozens of houses, causing damage estimated at over $16 million. It has also cut across three roads in the area and destroyed five bridges.&#13;
&#13;
"But probably the biggest threat to our crops are the tourists," Cozzubbo said. "They have come by the tens of thousands and trampled our fields to see the show. What the lava has spared they have ruined."&#13;

# Bullets 'Jinxer' Puts Colts On List, Claims UFO Help&#13;
&#13;
By JOSEPH J. CHALLMES&#13;
&#13;
Ted Owens, the 51-year-old "PK man" who has a reputation for psychokinetic antics a La Evil Eye Fleagle, has placed the Colts at the top of his "Unlucky 13" loser list for next year's National Football League season.&#13;
&#13;
Mr. Owens, who successfully "PK'd" the Bullets (or so he claims) after being publicly insulted by Gene Shue over national television, said that last year he hexed five teams in the NFL, but that this year he was "going to be more scientific" in his approach.&#13;
&#13;
**Rules Out Coincidence**&#13;
&#13;
"Five teams could have been coincidental. Now I'm going to stop and block half the teams in the NFL", sorcerer Ted said in an interview.&#13;
&#13;
Of all the teams who have fallen under his unkindly gaze, only the Colts have given a response. "Carroll Rosenbloom wrote me twice. He's a perfect gentleman, but we couldn't come to an agreement," he said, noting his $100,000 asking price to remove the Colts from the list.&#13;
&#13;
"In my opinion, Carroll Rosenbloom has more brains and guts than the other NFL owners. At least he answered me. The Philadelphia Eagles filed my letter under junk mail."&#13;
&#13;
But, fixing football games are just minor examples of psychokinetic power Mr. Owen said. He claimed that as a child he levitated often, read minds and hypnotized people.&#13;
&#13;
He said his original ESP powers have been greatly enhanced by contact with UFO's.&#13;
&#13;
"I thought I had been in contact with the great force behind nature, but in 1966 the SI's (spatial intelligence) contacted me and told me there would be an electromagnetic storm over the South Pole.&#13;
&#13;
"I contacted NASA, but they didn't believe me. Then, there was a great flap about a flying saucer hovering over the South Pole interfering with electromagnetic records of two scientific stations."&#13;
&#13;
**In Bermuda Triangle**&#13;
&#13;
Mr. Owens said that the headquarters of the UFO's is in the Bermuda Triangle--a part of the ocean near Bermuda where ships and planes have mysteriously been lost at various times in the last 400 years.&#13;
&#13;
"Now I'm like a forward artillery observer. I have many weapons and much ammunition to handle certain things, but if there is trouble, I can call on the UFO's heavy artillery.&#13;
&#13;
"I claim credit for the drought in Florida and Texas. The SI's want me to impress their power upon the government. Their aim is to prevent this civilization from destroying itself like so many others have done throughout history," he said.&#13;
&#13;
**"Want To Climb A Wall"**&#13;
&#13;
He said he had twice come into close contact with the visitors "from another dimension and the effect was one of horror. It made me want to climb a wall. That's why they don't come into direct contact with humans."&#13;
&#13;
"Florida and Texas were singled out because I went to both states to get money to help research the PK powers, but they refused," he said.&#13;
&#13;
His powers are being researched by three "internationally known scientists," including Dr. Max L. Fogel, research officer for MENSA, an organization composed of persons with IQ's in the top two per cent of the nation.&#13;
&#13;
The modern Merlin is also interested in saving wildlife.&#13;
&#13;
"In Africa, the animals are dying because people are using up the water for swimming pools and things like that. I'm going to call in PK power over all of Africa that will cause great rains to fall and refurbish lakes and streams. Then I'm going to chase all the white people out of Africa. Then Africa will be the way it was before.&#13;

# Owens Claims UFO's Add To His Natural ESP Powers&#13;
&#13;
(Continued from Page 22)&#13;
&#13;
"Let's face it, the blacks and animals were happy before the whites came. Now they (the blacks and animal life) will be happy again."&#13;
&#13;
He said the SIs' are upset about Vietnam. "I went to President Johnson in 1967 and told him that if he didn't stop the war, he would be ruined. I told him the dead would come back and haunt Washington."&#13;
&#13;
**90 Days To Clean Up**&#13;
&#13;
Pollution is another concern of the SI's. "They give humans just 90 more days before they begin their own PK action. Then they will turn all the waters of the earth against mankind.&#13;
&#13;
"Also, I have placed PK powers on all the animals of the world. If any hunter kills an animal unnecessarily, the power will track him down and harm him. It's like the power the ancient Egyptians put over their tombs to curse anyone who broke the seal."&#13;
&#13;
He said that less than two days after he put his power into effect on behalf of the animals, a boat ladened with the fur of 500 baby seals was crushed by an unexplained ice flow.&#13;
&#13;
He also said that the UFO's had asked him to write to President Nixon asking for a seat in the United Nations. "In this capacity, it will be my duty to constantly bring about miracles, through SI-power, all over the world . . . constructive miracles."&#13;
