Copyright 1953 by ALBERT K. BENDER VOL II, No. 1 January, 1953 Bridgeport, Conn., U.S.A. IFSB OF BRITAIN ORGANIZES Capt. E. L. Plunkett Appointed British Representative The IFSB has finally been organized in Great Britain with retired Capt. E. L. Plun- kett of the 8th Army as British Represen- tative. Mr. Plunkett resides at 71 Ched- worth Rd., Horfield, Bristol 7, England. Denis, son of Mr. Plunkett, is the assistant representative, but is now serving his country in the Royal Air Force. Rep. Plunkett has shown great interest and foresight in forming the IFSB in the British Isles. Numerous articles have ap- peared in leading newspapers through his efforts. He is planning on using local halls and auditoriums to give lectures and show

He also plans to give talks at the local Y.M.C.A. of the city which is a semi- war veterans type of society. Many people in the British Isles have contacted Mr. Plunkett showing great in- terest in IFSB. Most of these people are very learned individuals such as officers in the Armed Forces, members of the British Inter-Planetary Society, Aero-Dynamists, newspaper reporters, and flying saucer en- thusiasts. At present Mr. Plunkett is holding weekly meetings at his home, where they discuss IFSB and flying saucers in general. For further information about our Brit- ish Representative see page twelve of this issue. LUIS LUHRING NAMED PUERTO RICAN REPRESENTATIVE Mr. Luis Luhring of Punta Santiago, Puerto Rico, has accepted the position of Representative for the island of Puerto Rico. He will handle all IFSB business in that place. Write to Box 23, Punta Santi- ago, Puerto Rico. Mr. Luhring is a very capable man and will aid the IFSB greatly. FRANKLIN, INDIANA JOINS EN MASSE Business Men and Public Officials Join IFSB To Form Own City Group. The City of Franklin, Indiana, has gone out fully for the IFSB and is now the only city in the world that has the most mem- bers in our organization. Through the great efforts and work of Mr. Louis Frahm, business man; Mr. Jack W. Moore, police- man; Mr. Robert Wolf, civilian defense director, and Mr. Dick Campbell, IFSB Representative for Indiana, this great ac- complishment was made possible. At this publication, Franklin can claim 20 mem- bers with ten from nearly towns, giving a total of 30. Since all this interest has been aroused Mr. Frahm plans to form a city group with their own chairman, secretary and treasurer. Among the members you will find policemen, librarians, mechanics, commercial pilots, business men, bus driv- ers, students, etc. The group plans to pur- chase a telescope of suitable power. In ad- dition to this they plan to rig up a 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 Graflex camera with an optical type

side for easy handling. This is the equip- ment they plan to start with. Later, if fi- nances permit, they may build a portable radar set. Franklin, Indiana, and nearby towns, have been fortunate in having had at least four sightings this past summer. Two were witnessed by Mr. Frahm and Mr. Moore. Reports of these sightings are reviewed in this issue of Space Review. OUR PRESIDENT HEARS FROM PROF. EINSTEIN Mr. Al K. Bender, President of IFSB, received a letter from Professor Einstein with this message: "Having no experience and only superficial knowledge in the field I regret not to be able to comply with your request." Mr. Bender wanted his opinion on the flying saucers. This was the Professor's reply. 62-83894-326
