Mother Asked 10 View
Remains Of Child
In Search for Son

In the nlorgue at Mount Har-
mony. Md, today a distraught
mother will be asked to view a
child's skeleton to determine If 1t
IS the remains of her crippled g.
Iyear-old son who disappeared
while she was under arrest at
North Beach. Md, last August.
The mother. Mrs. Gertrude
Glass of the 1900 block of Sixth
street S.W., yesterday positively
identified a faded pair Of bathing
trunks as those that she bought
for her son, Walter, before they
left for q beach outing, according
to Maryland State police at WAL
dorf.
A trapper came across the
|child's skeleton and the faded
trunks in a marsh near North
Beach yesterday. Mrs. Glass
viewed the trunks last night in
Baltimore.
Mrs. Glass, separated from her
husband for more than a year
drove to North Beach with her son
and two male companions last
August 10. She said she bought
the child, crippled by polio, a pain
of swimming trunks for 81 before
they left Washington.
The mother went into Uncle
Billie's Tavern, an establishment
owned by numbers backer Charles
Nelson and police arrested her fo1
lintoxication. The little boy was
in the automobile when his
mother last saw him. When she

The sobering knowledge that
Russia has built up a numerically
superior jet fighter force that is
ready for action all the way from
Korea to Eastern Germany has
hastened United States efforts to
extend its superiority in the field

Korea Proves 10 U. 5.
That Russian JETS
Are Serious Threat
BY the Associated Press

Korea has spelled out the hard
military fact that Russia has jet
fighters as good as Americas best
and in ready-to-flght quantities
that the United States cannot now
match, at least in KOREA.
American air chiefs have drawn
this SOLDERING lesson from the
Soviet ability to throw some 75O
high performance MIG-15 Jets
into Northeast Asia, apparently
without seriously weakening the
top priority security of the home
land or reducing the striking
power of the Red air force in
Europe.
United States leaders began
warning the country about Rus
sia's mounting air threat months
before Korea. But those earlier
warnings were focused on the
potential threat of a Red bomb
falling on United States cities and
vital industrial areas.
Air Picture Changing.
Then as now the United States
air strategy sees its best hope for
success in swift and deadly re-
taliation bombings of Russia's s
sources Of military power. United
States air chiefs are on record as
recognizing. however, that the Red
air buildup in Asia has wrought
significant and perhaps sinister
changes in the outlook for Amer
ican victory through air power.
United States and Allied jet
fighter pilots have fought over
North Korea against odds as high
as four to one. They have met
only the MIG-15, a faster per-
former at high attitudes than the
United States F-86 Sabre jet. This
country is developing planes that
should out-perform the F-86. But
many authorities believe that the
Red air force already has quanti-
ties Of jet fighters that are as
good as the MIG-15, and maybe
even better.
Five new swept-wing jet fighters
were observed at Russia's 1851 air
show.
An-Weather Interceptors.
Some of the best informed ex-
perts credit the Red air force with
three all-wea ather interceptor
types. One Of them is known to
be a jet plane with extensive
radar devices to locate hostile
bombers and to aim the plane
itself or its guns at the target.
The air battle of Korea also
has shed light on the pattern of
Red air concepts and develop
ments. Although the Communists
have had some $500 planes of all
types available in Manchuria. thev

Visiting Students
Resent Insults by
Luncheon Mdndger

After an enjoyable week in st.
Croix a group of the visiting stu
dents were bitter this morning
over the insults handed them by
Harry Kouch, new manager of
the Rasmussen luncheonette here.
The ex-Navyman apparently
enjoyed the antics Of the sailors
who jammed the establishment
just a few days before but the
presence of so many native boys
and girls apparently annoyed him
causing an outburst of temper in
which he pointedly refused to
scramble eggs for the youths; his
dictum was that they will take it
sunnyside up or else.
Mrs. Mildred Harrigan, widow
of the former Labor Leader and
distinguished Councilman, who
was the cashier, pointed out to
the manager that the kids had a
right to what they were paying
for. Moving threateningly over to
Mrs. Harrigan he shouted repeat
eddy at the top of his voice: "You
are fired; get tell out" The kids
all gathered and decided among
themselves that if he laid his

The report reads as follows:
At about lis AM. on June /,

to force an entrance into the
home Of Charles Hurdle, No. sc
Prince Street, ostensibly to force
his attentions upon a woman,
Leoncina Barry, who, with two
Puerto Rican men, had taken re-
fuge in Hurdles home for protec-
ton. Hurdle went out the front
door to go to the police Office for
a patrolman and met Officer Git
tens who accompanied him back
to his home.
In the meantime, Jackson had
gone but Citizens met Corporal
Muller and one Johannes Rich
ards who was explaining to Cor
poral Muller that Jackson had a
machete in his hand and had also
threatened him with it. Richards
pointed out Jackson about half a
block distant and ran after him.
Jackson stopped at the home Of
George Frazer, No. Is Prince ST.,
and began to strike the door with
his maehete. When the officer got
within about 10 feet Of him, he
turned and started to walk away.
The officer ordered him to stop.
Jackson stopped and looked at
him closely. Again Citizens told
him, This is the police" and
Jackson replied, Il don't care who
YOU are" and advanced upon him
waving the machete.
Citizens drew his revolver and
fired one shot. Jackson was struck
in the stomach and died almost
instantly. Corporal Muller who

lieved Patrolman Citizens of his
service revolver, and brought into

to their session. A reception will
be held there on Friday, April
10. following adjournment of the
Congress, if the mansion is COM
pleted and occupied by that date.
A tea at the White House has
been a traditional Congress event
