USAF Pilots To
Shoot Back When
Attacked by Reds

WASHINGTON, (P-The Air
Force is leaving to its pilots and
overseas commanders the decision
of what to do if Soviet fighters
again attack American planes fly
ing peaceable missions over non
Russian territory.
The USAF spokesman made it
plain today, in answer to ques-
tons, that the crews Of a plane,
like the B-29 shot down by Rus
sian fighters over japanese wa
tiers earlier this month, has the
right to fire back in self defense
However, the American plane
downed by Soviet gunfire Oct. Z
could not have fired back because
it wasn't prepared for shooting
It's guns were tiled down" during
the routine training flight to the
northern tip Of Hokkaido
Another answer by the spokes-
man indicated the Air Force now
is ready to cope with any such at
tacks by Soviet fighters by assign
ing a fighter plane escort when
needed. The spokesman told re
porter "day-to-day tactical consid-
erations dictate whether escort is
provided"
This double-barreled self-de-
tense program-apparent blanket
authority for plane crews to pro-
tect themselves and for command
ers to assign fighter escort when
needed-seems directly related to
the formal note sent to Russia by
the State Department Oct. II.
That note, protesting the Oct. 7
incident and demanding compen-
sation for the loss of the B-29 and
the eight men aboard, urged thu
Soviet government seriously to
consider the grave consequence
when can flow from its reckless
practice, if persisted in, Of at
lacking without provocation the
aircraft of other states"
Apparently, one grave conse-
quence could be the failure CI
Russian fighters to return to base
after an attack on American air
craft.

Gen. Eisenhower
Pledges Visit TO
Korea IL Elected
rBY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

Dwight Eisenhower said today
he will not be talked out of going
to Korea to seek a way to end
the war if he is elected President.
At about the time Eisenhower
was speaking III Philadelphia, his
foe for the presidency, Adlai Ste
venson, was telling a Quincy,
Mass, crowd: 1--WE are only
week from the election I still
don't know where the Republi-
cans stand"
Eisenhower, the COP nominee,
pledged in a speech Friday night
that if he is elected, he will visit
Korea in a search for the road
to peace for America
Democrats promptly hit back,
saying the pledge was a grand
stand play" and that such visit
would not help end the fighting.
To a cheering crowd at Phila-
delphia's Both street train ter
minal, Eisenhower replied today:
Entirely aside from any parti-
san thought in my head, if the
American people want to make
me the executive head Of the gov
eminent for the next four years,
l shall 60 there and consult with
the people on their own ground.
From that purpose, I shall not
be deferred by any criticism any
partisan wants to bring against

World War III Commander
Backs Ike's Proposal That
Koreans Man Own Lines

WASHINGTON, P-Lt. Gen
Robert L. Eichelberger, veteran
Of Far East fighting, said Monday
he belives South Koreans could
assume full control of the front
lines within 112 to- 2 years.
Eichelberger, now IS and re-
tired, organized and led the
Eighth Army in its World War II
sweep from the Philippines to
Japan.
In an interview in US. News
and World Report, he was asked
whether South Koreans could take
over the front lines in Korea-a
question raised during the presi-
dental campaigns of Republican
Gen. Dwight Eisenhower and
Democratic Coy. Adlai Stevenson.
Much more quickly than we
have been led to expect" Eichel-
berger replied.
He said Gen. Eisenhower's re
commentator in an Oct. 2 speech
that South Koreans be trained to
man their own front lines is
militarily sound.
"The idea is not new one" he
said, 'but l think the progress
probably hasn't been as fast as
it might have been. If General
Eisenhower were elected, he could
speed up the transition very rap
idly"
The decision to defend Korea,
Eichelberger said, "came as a sur
prise because the thinking at the
time was that the Communists
would not launch an offensive. If
Korea had not been defended, he
added, "We would have been in
a helluva fix and SO would
Japan"

Uncle Ruy's Corner

A tall thin boy stood in City Hall
Park, New York City, 88 years ago.
He was Joseph Pulitzer, then IT.
He was waiting, his turn to sign
up as a soldier in the Union army,
late in the Civil War. He had lately
come from Europe, and could speak
little English.
Some writer's have described
young Pulitzer as "a poor immi-
grant," but that is true only in a
sense. He was poor at the moment,
owning little except the clothes on
his back. but he had grown up in
"a well-to-do family in Hungary, his
native land. His father, Of Hunga-
rian and Jewish stock, had been
"a successful grain merchant. His
mother, a beautiful woman, is re-
corded as having been "of Austro-
German descent"
Joseph received an excellent ed
|ucation in Hungary, but his father
died. and within a few years his
mother married again. The boy
found little enjoyment in life with
Ibis stepfather, and left home. He
wanted to be a soldier, and seems
ito have cared little about which
army he joined. After failing to be
accepted by three armies in Europe
(Austrian, French and British he
crossed the Atlantic.

the ace and trump.
The queen of spades was led and
Mr. Abel and dummy played low.
Next came the jack of spades and

Mr.. Masters made fine-and neces-

The company did not specify the
amount Of the increase, which

A spokesman pointed out that
the action was taken to get pro-
ceedings started because the COM

tion and continually increasing
costs.
This is the first increase we
have asked for in Maryland in over
20 years" Charles f. Bennett,

company action.
Mr.. Bennett cited higher taxes,
increased costs of materials and
increases in wages and benefits as
the principal reasons for asking
for the increase.

Bennett, Cumberland and Ale
