Sen. Wherry Lashes
At Truman's Record
Washington. Apr. 14 (U.R)
Senate republican Floor Leader
Kenneth S. Wherry said today
that President Truman "has
nothing to crow about" in his
five-year White House record.
The president, marking the
start of his sixth year in office,
told a news conference yester
day that the country is in good
shape at home and abroad
and that he deserves the credit.
The Nebraskan emphatically
did not agree.
"He (Mr. Truman) congratu
lates himself every time he turns
around," Wherry snapped. "He's
been patting himself on the back
for the past five years, but the
important thing is what the peo
ole will say in the election next
fall."

'Workable' Flying Saucer
Designed 23 Years Ago
Monterey, Cal., Apr. 14 U.R)
A "workable" flying saucer, de
signed 23 years ago and rejected
during World War II as "too
advanced." was described today
by its inventor.
In a story copyrighted by the
Monterey Peninsula Herald, Al
exander G. Weygers said his fly
ing disk, which he calls a "dis
kopter," was patented in 1944

three years before the first fly
ing saucer report came out of
Oregon.
In Design Stage
Weygers, a Dutch-born engi
neer and sculptor, admits his
saucer is still in the paper-design
stage. He has never made a
model of it. But the design, he
insists, is aeronautically sound.
Blueprints show a craft that
resembles a percolator top or
a covered shallow bowl with a
bubble on top. The bubble would
be the pilot's compartment,
which Weygers said could be
enlarged for "unlimited passen
gers." Enclosed in the circular metal
frame or rim are gasoline engine
driven rotor blades, similar to
the rotors of a helicopter. The
oush of the rotor would propel
Weygers' craft Just like the heli
copter. Holes in Top
The rotors and power-plant
compartments are enclosed in the
discopter, the designer said. The
craft has holes on its top through
which air is drawn by the rotors,
giving it the needed thrust out
of the bottom expulsion holes.
Weygers said he believes jets
'an be used in place of the rotors.
He said his design was reject
ed by Consolidated Vultee in a
letter dated April, 1945, as "too
advanced."
Requires Great Study
"Obviously," the letter read,
"a true analysis of an invention
as revolutionary in its scope as
yours would require far greater
study and experimentation than
can be afforded at this time. We
are not undertaking, therefore,
to even comment and are mere
ly advising you that its magni
tude is beyond our present ca
pacity." Once employed as a draftsman
at Northrop Aircraft in Los An
geles, Weygars holds a degree in
mechanical engineering and na
val architecture from Dordrecht
university in Holland.
