Il Red soldiers from North
Korea marched south across
the 38th Parallel and Ameri-
can forces were ordered to
fight. Today, a Washington
area major, one of those who
flew or the first mission over
Korea, and his wife recall the
beginning of the most un-
usual air war in American
history. 1t was unique in that
a wife could watch as her
husband few off to war and
say. Il hope he's home in
time for dinner"
Maj. and Mrs. James P.
Beckett now live at 1901 North
Jefferson street, Arlington.
In late June. 1850, they were
living at a fighter base in
Southern Japan. When Presi-
dent Truman made his mo-
mentous decision, the major
bought $40, 900 worth of extra
life insurance and considered
himself ready.
On his first combat day over
Korea. June q, 1850, he few
an F-80 jet mission covering
transport planes evacuating
Kimpo Airfleld near Seoul. He
fired his first shot against the
enemy two days later, when
he and his wingman destroyed
a Red gasoline convoy near
the Han River.
Wives of the pilots were tell
ing each other the fighting
would end in victory in two
weeks. But the end of two
weeks marked, instead, the
first casualty in Maj. Beckett's
outfit. A squadron command
er, attacking a ground target
in Korea, radioed his wing
man: My cockpit is full of
smoke" The wingman saw
his leaders plane nose down
and crash. Other deaths fol-
lowed. Mrs. Beckett spent
dark hours comforting many
a widow who had been a wife
the previous morning.
The women set up a can
teen on the airstrip to serve
coffee and sandwiches to re-
turning pilots and to ground
crewmen, who were working
night and day. Many of the
women avoided talk of the
war, except for the occasional,
half-frightened words, This
is real"

fighters. Not one of the 10
Koreans had flown a tactical
plane in about five years.
Maj. Beckett and his assist
ants were assigned the duty
of teaching them to fly the
F-51 in seven days.
The Korean fliers were
eager to strike back at the
Reds. Maj. Beckett believes
they would have flown box
kites into action. Their
leader, Col. Lee Kun Suk,
had flown an unarmed train
ing plane, lodging Red ground
fire, while his observer leaned
out the rear cockpit and
dropped bombs by hand on
tanks.
Seven of the 10 could speak
no English-which also meant
they could not read the names
of the aircraft instruments.
The major drilled them in
touching and naming instru-
ments while blindfolded.
But they had a common
language: The one-hand-
above the other that all
fighter pilots use to describe
aerial maneuvers. 1t. Col
S. w. Chang, Interpreting
Maj. Beckett'S lectures, would
ask, What is it you mean
when you say, peel off'?'
Evening star., 1952-06-22
Back rom The WARRIOR Dinner

The major would demonstrate
with his hands, and the Ko-
reans would burst into de-
lighted laughter, as if to say,
Why didn't you say SOP"
Col. Lee Kun Suk was killed
on his first day in action in
an F-51 while making a run
on a North Korean tank con-
voy. The others went on to
make magnificent combat
records. And Maj. Beckett
was awarded the Korea Pilot
Wing, one of three Ameri-
cans thus honored.
The majors sons, Jamie
and Bruce, began to ask,
Did you get any tanks to-
day, Daddy?" Maj. Beckett
was getting his share, as wit
messed Dy his Distinguished
Flying Cross, Bronze Star
and Air Medals. Gradually,
though, the boys and their
older sister, Susan, became
uneasy about their fathers
daily missions. Other daddies
had not come home from such
missions. However, wives of
the pilots, almost to a woman,
agreed they wanted to re-
main near their husbands.
Each day, they saw their men
off to war, hoping they'd be
home to dinner. An air war
unique in American history
had begun.

Twelve Jews Win
Seats in New House
Of Representatives

WASHINGTON, (JTA) = All
ten Jewish members of the House
of Representatives who sought
reelection emerged successful in
the national campaign and will
be joined by two more Jewish
members in the 83rd Congress.
The death of Adolph J. SABBATH,
dean of Congress, 48 hours after
his election to his 23rd term, re-
duced the Jewish delegation to
eleven-the same number as sat
in the 82nd Congress. The eleven
tn member of this latter group,
Rep. Abraham A. Ribicoff of Con-
necticut, was not a candidate for
the House this year. He sought
election to the Senate on the
Democratic ticket and went down
to defeat by a margin Of $1,000
votes although he ran 81 900 votes
ahead of Gov. Adlai Stevenson in
the state.
The two new Congressman are
Samuel N. Friedel, of Baltimore,
a Democrat and Lester Holtz-
mann, New York attorney, who is
believed to be the first Jew elect
ed to Congress from Queens
County. Holtzman's election is
being challenged by his Republic
can opponent and is subject to a
recount.

PLAIN TALK
MR.. HILLEL's REVIVAL
BY Alfred Segal

Our Mr.. 1illel called on me
with one of the problems he
brings to my desk from time to
time. He seemed upset about
something at first. and I guessed
maybe things weren't going so
well in the F1illel Widget Corp:
though as I should have known
Mr.. fIillel never does come to me
on business matters.
The fact is that when Mr.. Hillel
gets sick and tired of the prosper
ity of widgets he calls on me for
relaxation with Jewish prob
lem.
Yet. by way of conversational
formally I always ask him how
widgets are going. This time. as
always. he brushed off the matter
of widgets quickly. Widgets are
all right. he replied. he had just
had an order for a million dollars
worth from the government of
Patagonia which is building up
a defense against the aggression
of the government of Caledonia.
But" he went on. 81 am call
ing about a matter much more
important to us than the troubles
of Patagonia nd Caledonia.
What's bothering me at this mo-
ment is what's to become of us
Jews outside of Israel. The ques-
ton is: How are we going to keep
on living spiritually as Jews.
Though my widgets may save
Patagonia they can't do a thing
toward saving the Jews from
themselves"
Just what do you mean. Mr..
FIiIlel?.
MIR. Hillel replied he meant
plenty, since it involved the life
of Jews as Jews all over the
world outside Israel. Just now,
he said, Jews all around the
world are being kept JeWishly
alive by the needs of Israel. Is
rael bonds, Israel's Histadruth,
Hadassah, all that. On account of
that, Jews of the u. S. and else
where can keep on feeling a
lively sense of being Jews, every
time solicitor rings the doorbell.
But" he asked. what will
they have TO live on after Israel
becomes self-sufficient and does
not need their help? What then
will there be for American Jews
to live on and TO survive Jewish
"? When Israel becomes self
supporting there will be no call
for US as Americans TO tax our
selves further for Israel. What
then. Segal?"
Mr.. Hillel said that to keep on
living as Jew you've got to have
a purpose for living. "And
what will be our purpose as Jews
when we no longer can live by
our philanthropy to Israel? Then,
maybe, lot of us will be slip
ping away from Judaism into no
religion at ALL"
Mr.. 1illel had come to this
thinking after reading a piece
that was spread all over the
South African. Jewish Times OF
Johannesburg. IFS Rosh Hashonah
edition had carried a review OF
Jewish life in the world by the
editor. Mr.. Leon Feldberg.
Mr.. Feldberg said that jewish
life outside Israel "can only be
