HOLLYWOOD, July 7 (UP) Orson Welles said Monday he's bet en to one that the "flying saucers" will fizzle into fancy just like his "Invasion from Mars" broadcast that troubled the nation in 1938.
"I want everybody to know that I didn't have anything to do with this saucer hoax, though," he added. "I scared the shirts off Americans once, that was enough."
"But in case they do turn out to be from Mars," he grinned, "I've been predicting that sort of thing for a long time."
