 whoever is flying these MICS is using some of the old German Luftwaffe tricks. They are as good as any German pilots I met in the last war"
 (GabreSki'S comments, the range of the new Red jets and the un- usual eagerness of their pilots in seeking battle hinted the com munists may have thrown newer model jet, probably the MIG-19, into the sharpening air war0
 Seventy-seven Allied jets tan gled with 120 Russian-type MICS in roaring duel Wednesday nor ming over northwest Korea's MIG alley. It was the biggest single jet fight of all time.
 Then A American Thunderjets Swooshed back into MIG alley in the afternoon and clashed with 35 MICS. The Reds forced the Thur derjets to jettison their bombs before they had made their target runs.

Attlee Asks LISTS Personal Help In Iran Oil Dispute

LONDON, (P)-Prime Minister Attlee is asking President Tru- mans personal help in Britain's crucial oil dispute with Iran, in formed sources said today.
 Britain protested in the strong est terms in Tehran earlier today against an Iranian edict ordering some 300 British oil men to quit the worlds biggest refinery in Abadan by Oct. 3.
 In a personal message to Tru- man, informed sources said, Att lee likely will make it clear that Britain is determined to stay on in Abadan.
 British government leaders have hinted they might order the use of force to keep the technicians at Aabadan.
 If Britain takes a more force full line toward Iran it would pose grave international problems for all the North Atlantic Pact allies.
 Iran has a mutual defense treaty with Russia, signed in 1921, that entities Russia to send troops into Iran if Iran is invaded. It must be taken into account in the reckoning on whether force should be used at Abadan.

money making propositions be
screened at the post or chapter
level.
He said professional promoters
in the last few months had in
vaded the veterans field in solicit
ing organizations for the use Of
their names for fund raising.
One scheme, he said, works this
way:
The organization is offered
from 500 to $3.50 guarantee to
put on a benefit dance. What it
does not know is that the pressure

by telephone. tell prospective Gus

erans' commanders when they
we're aware Of the practices.
But in view Of the large number
OF veterans posts, and especially
when the promoters go outside
the District to sell their ideas to
some very small organizations, the
help Of the public is needed, he
said.
Cooperation from the general
public in investigating whether
their purchases or contributions
are to be used as represented is a
community service to the veterans
organizations themselves. as well
as to the general public" he de-
clared.

described, he said: Il know OF no

Other Funds Diverted.

and the promoters. he pointed out.
BY not participating in such
practices, the organizations can

fund campaigns to be successful,
