that destroyed Calvary Metho-
dist Church. So much love and
labor had gone into the build

pie must feel crushed by such
a blow. But it will rise again,
for already plans are going
forth to that end. In the mean
time, other places will be used
for worship and the congrega-
ton will keep together. The
alarm Of two cycles stirred
many people to action and it
was not long before streets
around the church were bottle

off and many are apprehen-
sive Of the danger. where if

not living in the designated

Navy Plane Is Missing;
 5uspetf Russ

WASHINGTON, Nov. g = tR - A US. Navy plane with crew of 10 is missing. There appear to be strong reasons for presuming it was shot down by the Russians. In succession today: 1. It was learned that Moscow, In formal protest on Nov. :, charged that an American plane crossed the Siberian border and was turned back by the gunfire of Soviet fighters.
 2. The Navy said a twin engine bomber "on United Nations weather reconnaissancc" patrol has been missing since Nov. 6 and is presumed lost.
 The Navy statement was in an- swer to press inquiries about the Soviet protest.
 However, the Navy itself did not say the Russians had shot down the plane.
 The Navy said three officers and seven men were aboard the plane. and that search for survivors has been negative" meaning none have been found.
 "The matter Is still under search- ing investigation" the Navy said.
 The Navy. in its initial answer to questions, did not identify the exact type of plane except to say it was twin-engine bomber. Nor did it say where the plane was missing.
 All the circumstances here, how ever, implied that this was the same matter the Russians referred to in their Nov. protest--one day after the US plane failed to return from it's mission.
 If the plane was Indeed shot down by Soviet fIiers, 1t is the second incident of that nature.
 In the spring of 1850. Russian airmen downed Navy patrol plane in the Baltic. Its 10 crew. men perished.
 At that time, with much fanfare, the Moscow press announced award of decorations to the Red fliers.
 Similarly. there were stories in the Moscow papers today of the de- coration of two Red Navy fliers for outstanding services. What they had done was not detailed. but the way the matter was handled paral- leled last years awards.

Jeis Clash Over korea;; Base Bombed

SEOUL, Korea, Nov. 23-tR-Jets clashed over Korea today for the first time in five days. The fight came just l2 hours after Superforts bombed a new Red jet base two miles from Red China's Man. churian frontier.
 Two MIG-15s were damaged in a battle in bright sunlight be- tween about 30 Red jets and 30 American F-S4 Thunderjets, the US. Fifth Air Force reported. It said all Thundcrjets returned safely.
 During the night twelve BPS Superforts ignored an angry cordon of Red jets and roared through in- tense flax in the first bombing raid on the Communists Uiju je' base.
 The strike was effective, Far East Air Forces said. It reported all B-29s returned from the raid two miles south of the Yalu river boundary.
 This strike so close to the "sanc- tuary of Manchuria" pointed up the mounting Allied effort to block off the growing Communist air threat and keep the Reds from set- ting up bases in North Korea closer to the battle line.
 Gen. Hoyt s. Vandenberg, chief of the US. Air Force, warned in Washington that Red China has emerged suddenly as a major air power. He said this newborn air force with Russian type jets and Russian speaking pilots has broken Allied air supremacy in Korea al- though the United Nations still holds superiority.
 The US. Eighth Army reported there was no other significant ac- ton Friday morning except a series of small Chinese probing attacks along the western front. west of Korangpo and southwest of Chor- won.
