The General tamped out his cigarette and
began to read in fiat, Unconditional voice:
"T, Vladimir Suvurov Captain in the Air
Forces of the USS.R., do solemnly swear
that the following statement is true in every
particular. On May S, at approximately 1880
hours, was leading one half of my fighter
squadron, two flights of three planes each, on
a routine training run between Khabarovsk
and Vladivostok, distance of some 600
kilometers.
''MIGs?" asked the Secretary sharply
He wouldn't say, SIR. Courtney replied.
Hes ultra security-minded. But they were
probably the new Russian jet job. They have

''Over three thousand miles, sir" Courtney
murmured
The Secretary whistled almost soundlessly.
They have any sort of carriers out there?"

when it began. Although of course we didn't

silent.
Didn't know what?" the Secretary asked
at length.
What had happened to them. We still
don't, really You had my report. The pos
sibility that they had strayed over Russian
territory and got themselves shot down was
eliminated because they never broke radio

We figured they must have smacked into
mountain in fog. But we never spotted any

lousy weather would permit. =" His voice
trailed off again.

The General wheeled into position in front of
the desk, lowering his head like bull Court

comes, he thought.
''FoUR days ago." the General said, "a
report filtered through to the commanding
officer at Base AZ up there The gist of it was
that parachutist had come down on Kodiak
island, had been picked UP - injured by
natives, and was being cared for in one of their
more inaccessible villages The CO. assumed,
of course, that it was one of our missing boys
and got helicopter in there right away. The
story was true it was parachutist, all
right. But he didn't belong to US. He was a
Russian fighter pilot"
The Seoetary's eyes ficked briefly to
the great wall map at the end of the room.

radar screen?"
The General ran harassed hand through

the story. Then, if you..."
The Secretary nodded. Sorry. Go on"
