Planes Huntin Discs; Russ Tells of ‘Atom Saucers’ of Soviet Ship Officer LOS ANGELES, July 6—(Spe- cial)—Federal agents today in- vestigated a letter to the Exami- ner describing Russian supersonic atom-powered planes resembling ‘the “flying saucers.” A top flight atomic scientist to | whom the Examiner referred the be turned over to the FBI. ~The letter writer said he got the information from an officer aboard a Russian tanker recently i) Los Angeles harbor. 1D EVEN WORMS ae Russian, he said, also de- scribed experiments with con- trolled radioactive clouds in the Arctic, where birds, animals and even worms were killed.
