that he was unlawfully held in con-

MIC XII Score
Breaks Records
In Korea Fight
New One-Day
And One-MOnth
Tally Smashes
Former Marks
BY JOHN RANDOLPH

SEOUL R-Sharpshooting Sabre
jet pilots shot down Is Communist
MIG jets today TO set new one
day and one-month record for the
Korean War.
The Sabres boosted their MIG
bag for June to "a, smashing the
old record of 63 set last Septem-
Der. And today's kill erased the
old single-day mark of Is set last
July 4.
The ground war dwindled to
mostly probes and skirmishes, but
the Eighth Army announced that
the Communists fired a record :
breaking Ia million artillery and
mortar shells this month. That's
more than double the number of
shells fired by Red guns in any
previous month of the war.
II meant that almost two shells
crashed down on Allied lines for
every single foot of the 155-mile
front--more than four. for every
Allied soldier on the line.
The u. S. jets scored their great.
est victory over the swept-wfng
Red jets as battered infantrymen
on the Western Front rested mo-
mentarily from two weeks OF
bloody battling.
The 36th jet ace of the war en-
erged from afternoon battles high
over North Korea. He was 1t.
Henry Buttlemann of Bayside,
N. Y. He scored his fifth kill.
Maj. James Jabara of Wichita,
Kan, history's first JET ace. also
had a spectacular day. He downed
two MICS to boost his kills to il
in two combat tours.
Col, James X. johnson of Phoen-
tx, Ariz.. bagged ais 10th MIG and
became the seventh double jet ace.
The record breaking victory
came on the first day Of good fly
ing weather in nearly a week--a
week that gave the Communist in
fantry a chance TO drive forward
without serious punishment from
Allied air power.
While ground fighting died on
most Of the line. a see-saw battle
still ragged on the slopes of Lookout
Mountain in the East. Neither the
Reds nor South Korean infantry
men have been able to hold the
crest in six days of attacks and
counterattacks. The hill is one
anchor for the R0Ks new front
in the Pukhan River sector.
The seriousness Of the ground
war was reflected in last week s
estimated enemy casualty figures,
which topped all weeks back TO
that Of Nov. IL, 1851. The new total
for the week ending June Is put
Red killed, wounded and prisoners
at II 200 Chinese and North Ko-
reanS. OF these. 1850 enemy were
killed and 800 wounded.
While Allied casualties are no,
released by action or period, bat
only as isolated numbers from
time to time. there is an obvious
relation between Red and Allied
losses.
