in Connecticut in 1952 to look into the flying saucer mystery.
In 1953 Bender stated he knew what the saucers are; then,
according to Marek, "3 men in bl ack sults"silenced Bender to
the extent that even today Bender will not discuss the matter
of his "hush-up" with anyone.
Marek was interviewed 12/19/58
and with respect to the "Bender Affair" he referred the inter­
viewing Agents to the book set out above.

contain other data of interest. Accordingly, Phoenix was instructed
to reinterview Marek to obtain a copy of the book and/or the true

Publlsher,"with no address indicated.
In Phoenix letter 1/5/59
it is pointed out that Marek has moved to Denver, exact address
not available but that University Books, Inc., is located at the
