Navy Pilot 1t. q. g. Walter N.
Schirra. jr., 1880 Valley drive, AL
Iexandria, was credited with de-
Istroying one Red MIG and dam
aging another in yesterdays fierce
air battle over Northwest Korea.
The air fight was a tangle be-
tween American Sabre jets escort
ing B-29s on an airfield bombing
mission and the Red jets which
attacked the bombers.
I'VE were escorting the bomb
ers when a flight of MICS began
their attack from 6 o'clock high, "
1t. Schirra was quoted in an AS
sociated Press dispatch. They
were attacking in singles and in
pairs. The MICS pulled up above
the B-29s and broke to the left.
Opens Fire at $4,000 Feet.
"As one pulled up in front Of
me, closed rapidly and opened
fire at $4,000 feet. I then closed
to 700 feet and scored hits from
his nose to his tail. The MIG
rolled and dove straight down
through the overcast.
"A flight of MICS cut away
from the course of the bombers
and I managed to turn inside of
them and opened fire at about
2,500 feet. ! closed about 1850
feet and scored hits on one of
them. He began to wobble vio-
lently and then disappeared
through the overcast"
Flies Many Missions.
1t. Schirra's wife, Mrs. Joseph
inc Fraser Schirra, said a letter
from her husband told her he
was flying like mad" usually two
missions day. He wrote that he
had come close to shooting down
enemy planes several times, but
she believes yesterdays score the
first he had shot down.
1t. Schirra. q, was graduated
from the Naval Academy in 1945

Sd Atomic Explosion
SET Off by Russians,
White House Reports
u. S. Also Announces
Success Of Tiny Atom
Experiment in Nevada

A third atomic blast has been
set off in Russia.
The announcement came from
the White House a few hours
after a tiny United States atomic
explosion, perhaps a baby A-bomb,
had burst over the Nevada flats.
The White House announced
late yesterday. several hours after
the Nevada experiment, that the
Soviet explosion apparently was
part OF test SERIES"
Both events were wrapped in
secrecy.
Presidential Secretary Joseph
Short made the announcement of
the Soviet explosion which had
been reported to President Tru-
man in the morning by Secretary
|of Defense Lovett.
Details Not Announced.
The White House announce
ment was scanty as to any details
American intelligence may have
picked up. The method of de-
|tecting the explosions behind the
Iron Curtain is regarded at the
Pentagon as one of this Nations
top secrets. It is said that this
Nations intelligence agencies car
report the Red explosions within
a matter of hours.
Mr.. Short didn't use the word
bomb" nor would he say when
the expulsion occurred. His re-
fusal. he added, was based on "the
national interest"
The Soviet press today made nc
mention of the White House an.
nouncement, but foreign observers
in Moscow were inclined to believe
that, since the two previous Wash.
ington announcements had drawn
Red comment, the Soviets soor
may have something to say about
this one also.
Western diplomatic and military
officials also drew two implications
from Stalin's comment on the pre-
viouS disclosure:
That the Soviet Union does not
intend to reconcile itself to second
place in atomic arms.
The Soviet government will cor

But before Friday, some of them

The county grand jury had been
expected to wind up by hearing
one morning witness today. Mr..
Lancaster had said the grand
jury report would be ready by
tomorrow morning but early this
afternoon he said it could not be
ready by then-presumably be-
cause OF the expected new testi-
mony.
Mr.. Fihelly emphasized that the
District grand jury investigation
is still open.
Ihere is a distinct possibility
that names will be brought in that
haven't been mentioned yet

he declared.
Mr.. Fihelly made it clear that
the overt acts" spelled out in the
indictments returned by the Dis
trlct grand jury yesterday merely
scratch the surface of the Gov
ernment's case.
Two Listed For Each,
For indictment purposes. he ex-
plained. the grand jury only had
to mention one overt act to link
each defendant with the alleged
gambling conspiracy. Instead. two
overt acts were listed, for a total
of 80. ~

overt acts but we're not going to

The overt acts, he explained
don't have to be unlawful in
themselves. They could list lust
a visit. a telephone call or the
mailing of a letter. It is the eyi-
dence, he added, that discloses the
unlawful nature of the overt act
In the case of Inspector Bullock
the overt acts simply list a visit

The previous record in a single
Jet battle was 1879 on Septem-
ber rs.
The Russian-type MIG 15s
swarmed in waves on B-29 Super
forts bombing a new red airf1eld
at Namsi. IS miles from the Man
churlan border.
Allied airmen were credited
with destroying five Red jets,
probably destroying two, and dam
aging between seven and ten.
One B-29 was crippled and
plunged into the Yellow Sea. The
crew bailed out. A 5th Air Force
briefing officer said one F-84
Thunderjet was shot down.
Two B-29s Damaged.
Two B-29s from Okinawa were
badly damaged, but landed at
Allied bases in Korea.
The estimated $50 fast Red
jets-a record number - fought
with So Sabre and Thunderjets
and the B-29s.
The air battle overshadowed
action on the quietine ground
fronts.
United Nations tank and in
fantry forces began enveloping
smoldering Kumhong, deserted
former Red stronghold on the
central front. The Allies in the
eastern mountains beat off three
Red probing attacks. And in the
west raiding U. N. patrols got
into a stiff fight with entrenched
Chinese west of Yongchon.
The big air battle famed in
northwest Korea as B-29s from
Okinawa rained 100000 pounds of
high explosives on the Namsi air
field-the second new Red air
drome hit in two days.
Determined Red Attack.
Waves of Red jets swept in
from Manchuria in lone of the
heaviest and most determined at
tacks ever launched against the
Superforts by the MICS" an Air
Force announcement said.
Pilot reports indicated more
than 100 Red jets swept in to at
tack.
The fight broke into three dis
tinct mass battles as escorting
Sabre jets and Thunderjets took
on the Red attackers. The first
broke out at 10 am. between 80
Sabres and more than 100 Reds
over Namsi. The battle lasted 30
minutes.
Many Of the Red planes took
part in all three fights.
One B-29 plunged into the
Yellow Sea of the west coast of
Korea. Escorting planes circled
overhead while rescue vessels
rushed in to pick up the airmen
who parachuted into the water.
The Namsi airdrome is in MIG

It is west of Taechon. where
another new airfield was hit yes
