RED AIR FORCE
BEATEN IN TWO
MORE JET DUELS
by olen Clements

TOKYO, JUNE PIP = The
Red Air Force was beaten for the
fifth day this week in two roar
ing battles over North Korea
today. American Sabre jets shot
down two Russian made jets and
damaged three. the U. S. Fifth
Air Force announced.
That raised Red losses this
week to II planes shot down, one
probably destroyed and IL dam
aged total of 29.
Eighty-nine jets were involved
in the two battles, which were
fought within II hours of the first
fire bomb attack on United Ma
tions troops.
AS Reds stepped up their Air
war to new heights, their troops
pushed Allied forces back in the
two biggest ground actions re-
ported.
Thirty Red-nosed MIG-15S
roared out of Manchuria and
across the Yalu River Friday
morning to renew the jet war
after a one day lapse. Twenty
eight sabre jets swooped down
on them 30 miles from the Man
churian border.
Two MICS were shot down and
two damaged in the engagement
fought at the comparatively low
level of 10000 feet.
Another MIG was damaged in
a second battle in the same area
about noon. Six Sabre jets took
on an estimated 25 MICS in that
fight.
The Fifth Air Force did not
say whether ANY American jets
we're lost.
The Far East Air Forces an
nounced 245 American planes have
been lost in the war, which will
be a year old Monday, and 391
communist planes destroyed or
damaged.
Two unidentified planes made
a two hour attack on U.N. lines
near Chorwon, on the western
front, in the early morning dark
ness Friday
They fire-bombed, strafed
rocketed and bombed Allied po-
sitions by the light of parachute
flares. Throughout the attack they
roared through a sky streaked by
traces and the bursts of anti-air.
craft fire from U. N. guns.
An Allied division commander
called it stunt to improve
Chinese morale"
North Korean attacks twice
forced Allied forces to pull back
in two attacks north of Inje. One
attack came at midday, the other
in the early evening.
More stubborn resistance was
reported by AP Correspondent
Nate Polowetzky in other sections
where there had been little action
before. Failure of telephone lines
between Tokyo and 9th Army
headquarters delayed reports.
