Saucers ~I Room_ :Sy UnHcd Pres., ROME, March 25-Prof. Giuseppe Belluzzo, 7g_year-old Italian turbine engineer, said today that designs for "flying saucers" we1;e J)11ep?u.'ed for Hitler and Mussolini in 1942. "According to those designs," ·hel" - said in an interview, "the disks •could carry a cargo ot explosives of any kind- and today an atomic bomb-to destroy entire cities." Of the present rash of reports of ' "flying saucers," which the U. S. ·Air Force has declared are without .toundation in fact, Sr. Belluzzo said: "It has passed my mind that some great power is experimenting with t]ying· disks-without explosives or atomic bombs. DRAFTED PLANS "There Is nothing supernatural about flying disks. It's just the most rational use of recently evolved techniques." Sr. Belluzzo said he personally bad drafted plans for a "flying disk" 32 feet in diameter, but ·c1aimed they disappeared with Mus solini w hen he fled to northern · Jtaly in 1943. "Both Hitler and Mussolini were interested in flying discs,'' he said. "The principle of the flying disc is very simple. Its construction is easy and . can be done with very light metal. "Two jet pipes placed on either side of the rim of the disk, provide the locomotion. The orifices of these jet tu~es are adjust?~le to -permit maximum and mm1mum speeds.

"The air 1s mixed under pressure and ignited at first by cartridges and then by an . electrical device. Terrific pressure 1s set up and the expanding gas forced out thru the jet pipes. _ .
