Men are accused at random of
Infamous and fanatic charges,

past remarks torn from context.
Guilt comes in the end, not just by

CINCINNATI. Oct. "a hall
dozen resolutions indorsing Gov

were the source of considerable
embarrassment to John L. Lewis
today at the convention Of his
United Mine Workers.
The resolutions were among
several hundred brought to the

Fire Of Russian JETS
CAT Londs in Berlin
After Escaping From
z MICS Through Cloud
BY the Associated Press

BERLIN, Oct. 8.-Two Soviet Jet
fighters fired several machinegun
blasts-apparently as a warming
across the path Of a United States
Air Force ambulance plane en-
route to Berlin to pick up hospital
patients today. The American
plane escaped in q cloud and
landed here unhit.
After interviewing the planes
crew and the United States Army
nurse who was aboard, Mai. Gen
Lemuel B. Mathewson, American
commandment in Berlin, said an
immediate protest would be made
to the Soviet high command.
A statement from Gen. Mathew
sons Office said the plane, a CAT
medical evacuation aircraft on q
routine flight through the pre-
sCribed air corridor over the Soviet
zone Of Germany to Berlin. was
approached by two MIG-15 fight
ers about 80 miles southwest Of
Berlin near Koennern.
Shots Not Aimed at Plane.
The statement said the Jets
made several passes land one Of
them fired several bursts of ma
chinegun fire, not directed i'm
mediately at the CAT but appar-
emily intended to attract attention
or to serve as a warning"
1.-THE (American) pilot flew his
airplane through a cloud bank,
evading the Soviet aircraft and
completing the remainder of his
trip to Tempelhof," the statement
said, adding that United States
authorities are investigating the
case"
The crew reported the two MIG
Is jets swooped on them in ira
ditional air attack style, one from
each flank and from separate al
titudes. They fired several ma
chinegun bursts across the path
OF the American ship.
The crew said they were cruising
at about 1000 feet, the altitude
prescribed by four-power regula-
lions for flying through the cor
'ridor.
April Attack Recalled.
The attack came about $3.50
am. (2:30 am. EST, at a point
where the Russians have con-
centrated jet fighter fields and also
have an air target range. It was
nearly the same spot where Red
fighters pumped cannon shot into
an Air France liner last April,
seriously wounding two German
passengers.
Gen. Mathewson said the Soviet
planes were "the type of fighter
that carries cannon, but these
were evidently machine gun
bursts"
The American pilot, he added,
New directly into cloud cover
which happened to be at hand and
got away"
At the firing, the plane crew
notified the Tempelhof base that
they were under attack. The base
brought out all its crash crews,
including fire engines, expecting a
riddled ship.
The DC-3 landed normally, how
ever. and an inspection squad
reported 1t showed no trace of

The Air Force imposed q security

it completed an inquiry on which
to base the American protest to
the Russians. Mathewson said his

was in order.
