pilots of flying saucers: It’ it’s later than you think fudge ripple, over. : . than anyone else, know the power of a good “organighzayshun.” It's common knowledge that politicos have at their tonguetips this adage: “If you really want something done, and no fooling, get the people to do it.” Swoosh—into the picture now come the flying saucers. I, for one, as a bona fide member of the group earlier referred to as the people, want something done t those things in the sky. If Mar-

tian invaders are sailing over our hills and dales, 1 nt to know. Well, don’t you? If the discs and all that goes with them are figments of our imagtnations, I want to know,

There's Been Some Talk—

THERE'S BEEN a lot of talk, loose and otherwise. There have been diagrams, dimensions and artists’ conceptions. Beard-stroking stientists have reported flying saucers. Gay, debonair airline buzzboys have seen them, they reported. Housewives, holding triplets and hanging out the wash on a clear Saturday, have seen shiny objects in the sky. Makes you stop and scan the sky, I'll tell you. -Recently while-on-a rooftop-where I-was told a man could see flying discs I picked up an old issue of a national magazine and read where a Navy scientist, aground on the blazing white sands of New Mexico, saw one. Darn near fell off the roof reading his article. + : He said the disc was 56 miles®(295,680 feet) high, traveling 5 miles per second (18,000 miles an hour) and had a diameter of 105 feet. The Navy

cussed at length the radiation-pressure motor and gave a description of it and admitted that “certain major problems remain.” Well. It has not been my pleasure to personally talk with anyone, scientist, housewife with triplets or airline pilot who has seen the much discussed saucers. I've never seen one. Don't know a person in our block who has. I'm not so narrow minded, however, that I'll say flying saucers are humbug. Until ne proves otherwise, flying saucers will be a bility. This brings us to the organization to be known (if there are enough people who want to join) as the People’s Flying Saucer Watching, Ducking and Reporting Association. Membership in the PFSWDRA (backwards it's ARDWSFP) is open to dnyone who can distinguish a saucer from a salad plate. oi? The main object of this group would be to have an occasional camp meeting for the express pur‘pose of watching for flying saucers. Imagine, if

you can, what 5000 or 10,000 persons, high on al:

hill, could see in an afternoon's time. With that many. watchers, there wouldn't be any doubt if a flying saucer passed over. The chances of spotting saucers would be much greater

because a member. of PFSWDRA would be out for|

the express purpose of seeing them. Fellow PFSWDRAs would be helping and pulling for other PFSWDRAs, Of course, a good PFSWDRA would report a flying saucer to the central committee whenever he saw one. The big meetings would be held merely to show the Mars people that the Earth

people are getting organized for business. We ;

want to be in the whirl of things, so to speak.

Phantom Saucers

By Robert C. Ruark

NEW YORK, Apr. 11—It looks like we got four choices on the flying saucers. They belong to our Air Force, the Russians, the Martians, or _ else the U. 8. Navy has a plot afoot 10 overthrow the United States. x Otherwise uncounted numbers of supposedly competent observers just have saucers in front of their eyes, and this I can believe, too, since I recently suffered from a bug which turns the air into a pattern of polka-dots. Virus X, I believe it's called, with scientific terseness.

Pilots Vouch for Spinning Discs

AIRLINE PILOTS I know say that they beHeve the saucers exist. A long rundown by True Magazine, some time back, vouched for the spinni discs. Other periodicals have presented rather well-documented reports on the presence of odd aircraft, unidentifiable but visible to several witnesses simultaneously. The recent Secretary of the Air Force, Mr. Stuart Symington, says if there are weird aircraft on prow! in the Air Force, he knows from nothing. This statement could be either honesty or deviousness because of security. I have no Russian sources, and my Martian correspondent is off on a drunk. vA

.......That. leaves the Navy as .the.guilty. party, so.

far’s- I'm concerned, or else we must fall back on the supposition that there really arer’t any saucers, or disks, or do-jiggers. The latter conclusion is hard to buy, for the last observers said the discs had windows, and not even a vodka-and-pérnod imagination is likely to whip up a flying disc with windows into it. Mr. Henry Taylor, a radio correspondent, has charged that one of the ecently viewed apparitions is the Navy's flying phantom, the jet-pro-pelled XF-5-U-1. This thing Jooks like a poached egg with propellers: and is. certainly as unearthly as anything the Martians might send us on a scouting tour. Rk I am inclined to go along with Mr. Taylor.

but too many people have seen too many saucers to discount them as anything but real and present, if unaccounted for. Somebody is up there in those skies playing with toys we wot not of, but on purpose.

McLEAN, Va, Apr. 11—You now are talking to the dumbest farmer of them ll. The all-time champion stupe. I was so busy trying to get some of the government's potato gravy that I never even realized I could climb aboard the federal Between freezing spells last winter I climbed aboard the tractor with the headlights at both ends, and plowed up my potato patch, enlarging same as I went along. My idea was to grow potatoes wholesale so I could sell 'em to Secretary of Agriculture Charlie Brannan at $1.50 per sack, so he could dye them: blue and sell them back to me for a penny. The plowing was to turn up the potato bugs so they'd freeze to death and leave me more potatoes to peddle to Charlie. About a week ago, just before the ‘apple blossoms got frozen, I

I communed with the free books of the Agriculture Department on what to do next and discovered that what I needed now ‘was 2000 pounds of ground limestone, 500 pounds of nitrates, and a few hundred pounds more of potash and phosphates an acre. Not having much of a potato patch in mind, this came to a mere 30 tons of chemicals. I asked my bride to buy this for me. She said she was not in the habit of buying minerals by the ton and that, anyhow, she had planned to buy
