 He said absolutely no shots were fired from the ground near the scene of the reported clash at any time yes terday on either side of the interna- tional boundary line. The border pa trol airplanes did not fire any shots at anyone either. I was on the scene when they came over from San Diego and when they went back and I watched them. You know down hers in Yuma airplanes are not usual thing yet. and we all turn out to watch them. And they certainly did not fire at anybody near Andrada yesterday.
