In Korea Air Battles
sy the Associated Press

SEOUL, June 22.-Hot United
States Sabre jet pilots today
blasted six Communist MICS
from the North Korean skies.
The 35th jet ace Of the war
was crowned in blazing aerial
warfare which extended nearly
to the Manchurian border. Col.
Robert Baldwin Of Sherman
Oaks. Calf. qualified as an ace
by downing his fifth MIG. He
also has damaged three.
Ground action was light ex-
cept for continued pounding by
the Reds against South Korean
lines on the eaSt-central front.
Three Russian built MIG jets
were destroyed and two others
damaged. the 5th Air Force re-
ported. by Sabres shielding allied
f1ghter-bombers hitting a COM

The fighter-bomber pilots re-
ported they destroyed the main
buildings Of a communications
relay station.
Later in the day deadly Sabers
knocked down three more MICS
while protecting planes pounding
a rail bridge near Pyongyang,
capital Of North Korea.
Air Force, Navy and Marine

United States troops near the
Panmunjom truce site had a
brief long-range small arms bat

Special u. n. Session
Seen Unless Truce
Is Signed Soon
By the Assoele,ed Press

UNITED STATES, N. Y, June
22.-United Nations sources say
that Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold and Assembly
President Lester B. Pearson may
decide to call a special Assembly
session If a Korean truce is not
concluded before they meet this
week.
The two top U. N. officials are
scheduled to meet Wednesday
or Thursday in either Ottawa
or Toronto, since Mr.. Pearson,
Canada's foreign Secretary, is
campaigning for the coming gen.
eral elections there and can't
get away.
New Situation Created.
officials said the Pearson
Hammarskjold meeting was
originally scheduled to discuss
the technical details of an as
sembly after an armistice. Now.
these officials said, South Kore-
an President Syngman Rhee's
action in releasing anti-Red
POWs has created a new situa-
ton.
The two U. N. statesmen, these
sources said. must assess that
situation and the U. MS rela-
ton to it. In this connection,
they said. the two might decide
that a special assembly should
be called, If an armistice has not
been signed by the time they
meet.
United States sources said the
Americans probably would OPP
pose special assembly session.
A spokesman for the American
U. N. delegation said, however.
the United States has not been
consulted on possible meeting.
Signing Was at Hand.
Western sources said they
understood the truce was sched-
uled to have been signed today,
Korean time (Sunday in the
United States), but that Mr..
Rhee's release of POWs upset
that date completely and it was
not known when the armistice
would come.
The General Assembly last
spring unanimously adopted a
resolution-with even the Soviet
bloc concurring at the time
providing for calling the 60
nation body into session should
a truce be signed.
A second part Of that resolu-
ton also provided for the calling
Of a special session If a new
situation required it. Mr.. Rhee's
action was seen by q. N. officials
as the new situation which
might demand such a meeting.

planned to incite farmers to de-
stroy their crops. the party said.
The Reds said the parachutists
agents of American war
makers and their West German
tools"-landed in Saxony and
Thuringia after the revolt broke
out last Wednesday. The West
ern allies already have denied
in the strongest terms that they
had anything to do with the re-.
bellion.
The Communists said some
Western agents" equipped with
weapons and radio sets had been
captured on the superhighway,
the autobahn, between Berlin
and Leipzig. The statement,
however, did not elaborate the
number, nationality or fate of
those aSsertedly captured.
The Saxony- -Thuringia area
described as the target of the
Invaders" is crossed by the
southernmost of the three 20
mile-wide allied air corridors so
long source of controversy be-
tween East and West.
The party promised something
like a general amnesty to all
strikers who would return to
work. It ordered officials to dif-
ferentiate between honorable
workers" and western agents
who bilked them into this grave
error" But it also grimly
warned Items of thousands" of
party men that they should have
broken the strike and thus had
become suspected Of playing
more than passive roles.
Many Promises Made.
The shaky regime continued to
spread thick its promises to the
workerS-lower prices, less work,
better living standards, fewer
represSive measures, aid for pri-
vate enterprise and a continued
drive" for German unity. The
old. the infirm and the widows
were promised higher pensions.
Though 80 divisions of Rus
sian steel still ringed and held
the East Zone, reports filtered
through of hundreds of dead
and enormous property damage.
Such vast plants as the former
I. G. Farben synthetic gaso-
line refinery at Halle. the Buna
artificial rubber plant in the
same area and a fuel briQuette
factory at NachterStedt were re-
ported burned.
Economic experts in West Ber-
lin said obviously plants that
had been working exclusively
on exports for the Soviet Union
had been knocked out by the
dozens and that the flow of
finished German goods to Rus
sia, Poland and Czechoslovakia
had been cut OF or seriously di-
miniShed.
They Surmised the Kremlin
would have to reverse the ma
chinery and send aid in the
form Of materials if the East
zone is to get of its knees soon
and relieve the political pressure
on the Reds.
20 Reported Executed.
Thousands of Red secret police
continued raids on homes of
suspected resistance leaders and
there was no way of knowing
how many had fallen before
Russian army firing squads. At
least 20 such dead had been re-
ported.
Thousands were reported un-
