Soon after buying the Sacramento Union last May, Publisher Jim Copley began to concentrate his acquisitive tal ents on a bigger paper considerably farther to the west. Copley not only wanted to buy control of the 110-year-old Honolulu Advertiser, he also in tended to make it the main member of his newspaper chain; he even bought an apartment in Hawaii. By last week, though, Copley was convinced that Advertiser Publisher Thurston Twigg-Smith, 45, and Editor George Chaplin, 52, who between them owned about 60% of the paper's stock, were not about to sell...
Soupy Scenario. The season's action series are ticketed for anyone from nine to 90-IQ, that is. The Green Hornet (ABC), concocted by the man behind Batman, is played straight. Only changes from the 1936-52 radio version are James Bond-type hardware and a bigger-beat theme song, blown by Al Hirt.

...visitor. Some Italian farmers pelted a UFO near Milan in October 1954 with rotten oranges, scoring, they claimed, some hits. They did not hit any of the little men, who were about 4 ft. high, wore light-colored pants, helmets and other equipment, and were "scurrying" about. UFOs were bigger and "hideous" in the sighting that was vouchsafed to Farmer Alexander Hamilton, of LeRoy, Kans., in April 1897. The hideous humanoids stole his heifer, hauled it aboard their "airship," and, "jabbering together," sailed away. "I don't want anything more to do with them," concluded Hamilton's affidavit...
