AN OBJECTIVE AT TUAL To the Editor: Mr. Mal- seem to be frustrated because Mr. Mal- den in his address on "Flying Saucers" to the Royal Society in Napier last week, failed to add anything to support their knowledge of "Airborne crockery" "Pluto" in particular appears to have read most everything there is to read about these phenomena, and, in consequence, is no wiser than he was before he assimilated all this knowledge.
