Magazine Overview
Title: THE UFOLOGER
Issue: Reports From Geneva
Date: November, 1958
This issue is a special 'Report From Geneva' newsletter, published in lieu of the regular issue due to the editor's unscheduled move to Geneva, Switzerland, and his involvement with the Atomic Conferences. The editor expresses hope to resume the regular publication schedule as soon as time permits.
The News
Moon Flight Plans: Utis T. Carr, President of CTC Enterprises, Inc., announced his intention to fly to the Moon on December 7, 1959, piloting his craft, the OTC-X1, with Major Wayne S. Aho as an honorary passenger. Information is available by writing to OTC Enterprises, Inc. in Baltimore, Maryland.
R. E. Straith Letter: The newsletter promises a final exposé of the R. E. Straith letter in the next issue, asserting that it is not from any U.S. Government agency, with the editor claiming to have conclusive evidence.
MICAP and NICAP: Mrs. Rose A. Cambell, former assistant to Major Keyhoe and MICAP, has left the organization because Major Keyhoe allegedly refused to give equal investigation to 'contact' reports. Mrs. Cambell plans to campaign against NICAP. James Mosely, in SAUCER NEWS, controversially predicted the fall of NICAP and CSI of New York by the end of the year.
Senator Goldwater's Stance: Senator Goldwater of Arizona, a Republican, has publicly stated his belief in the reality of flying saucers.
George Hunt Williamson: The author of "Other Torgues-(ther Flesh" and "Secret Places of the Lion" has completed a British lecture tour. The editor informed him of his wife Petty's death in Lima, Peru, on August 11. Williamson will pick up his son in Indiana.
Dr. Lloyd V. Berkner's Statement: Dr. Lloyd V. Berkner, who signed a document stating saucers were not hostile, clarified that he believed saucers were a natural phenomena, not that they existed. He declined to name the panel members.
Propaganda Analysis
Voice of America Accusations: The newsletter relays a report from Radio Peiping accusing the Voice of America of broadcasting slanderous propaganda against Socialist countries. This propaganda is allegedly formulated by an 'advisory council' composed of executives from major capitalist firms like Morgan and Rockefeller. Associate Editor Dan Washburn, connected with the U.S. Information Agency (which includes the Voice of America), is expected to refute these claims.
Monitoring Radio Moscow and Peiping: The editor states that they are monitoring Radio Moscow and Peiping from Geneva and may publish transcripts.
New Books and Publications
The Pentagon Case: A new book by Colonel Victor J. Fox, "The Pentagon Case," is attracting attention and is in its second and third printings.
Atoms-For-Peace Conference: The editor attended the 2nd International Atoms-For-Peace Conference in Geneva, where he met dignitaries including Dag Hammerskjold and Lewis Strauss. Strauss reportedly called flying saucers 'BUNK!'. The editor also met Bill Dye and gathered photographs from the conference, which are expected to be published in the next issue.
Subscription Information: The price for THE UFOLOGER is now $3.00 for 6 issues and 50¢ per copy. These 'Reports from Geneva' are an extra service.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue include the challenges of publishing during a period of relocation and international events, the ongoing investigation into UFO phenomena, and skepticism from official sources. The editorial stance appears to be one of continued dedication to reporting on UFOs, even under difficult circumstances, and a critical view of official statements and propaganda from opposing political blocs. There is a clear interest in space exploration and a belief in the importance of independent investigation into UFO reports.
