MYSTERY OBJECT SHUTS DOWN RADIO STATIONS

San Francisco, March 23 - (AP) - Presence of what the Army described
as an "unidentified object" in the Los Angeles area led today to a 20
minute shutdown of radio broadcasting in Southern California.

Stations from San Luis Obispo south to San Diego and easward to
Boulder City, Nev. were ordered off the air at 5:35 a.m. (PWT) and
permitted to return at 5:55.

By the later hour, Fourth Army Headquarters reported "the object was
no longer present but still was unidentified."
