TANK BOMBER ATTACKED BY SOVIET PLANE

WASHINGTON - A |. s. recon naissance bomber from Ladd Field, Alaska. fought off a Russian-made MIG-15 jet fighter off the east coast of Kamchatka last Sunday.
 The Air Force, announcing the incident, said it took place about 25 miles east of the Siberian penin- sula in the North Pacific ocean.
 The Air Force gave this account;
 The L. S. plane. a B-50, was on routine weather reconnaissance flight from an Alaska air base
 Two Ruusian type MIG-15s in tercepted the American aircraft but only one attacked
 The Y. S. plane returned fire but there appeared to be no dam age to either craft"
 The quick-acting commander ot the American bomber ordered the chief gunner to fire back"
 It. Col Robert & Rich, 35, told a press conference at Eielson Air Force Base he tried to escape the attacker with a 39O mile an hour dive into a cloud bank and fired only after the MIG had opened up.
 T-Sgt. Jesse L. Prim, 30, the gunner who returned the fire of the Soviet plane probably was one of the first people to sweat at 58 degrees below zero over the Berina Sea.
 That was the temperature wher he peered through his sights anc pulled the trigger that sent si, guns into action in the top turret of the B-50 bomber "The Laborin9 ;! Lady"

ATOM TEST BRINGS FIERY DAWN TO YUCCA FLATS

ATOM BOMB SITE Ney Dawn came with d fiery blast and an atomic rumble Tuesday for l,00O troops and hundreds of other ob- servers on Yucca flat - the sold iers and some of the newsmen clos ar than any human has been since Hiroshima and Nagasaki
 Two combat battalion teams and 20 reporters only two miles from the 3oo-ft tower where the blast flared at 5:20 a. m, came through unaathed
 The low, fiery blast sucked dust from the desert floor into a whirA- ing purplish-red fire ball. but lit- lie heat was felt by observers on News Mob Hill, seven miles away.
 The shock of the blast was sharp and bounced over the mountains ringing the test site to crack down as far away as Pasadena, Calf and the red glow of the blast was seen as far north as Medford Oregon, 600 nils away
 The test was designed primarily to gauge how houses and ears would come through a real blast
 The Federal civil defense admin istration built two two-story homes on the proving ground, one. three-quarters of a mile from the bomb tower, wa7 smashed flat and the other, a mile and a half away stood through the blast but had it's windows and doors blown out and it's manniquin inhabitants were tossed about Seventy cars placed at scattered points among Joshua ua trees came out in various des- criptions. Some flattened, some burned. Those closest to Ground Zero were not even rcroeaizable as having been vehicles
 Authoritiea said hn7 a similar blast occurred ia q 'aasprv popul- ated town. like Con Erancisco. the death toll would haye reached 1O0. .000.
 The Atomic Encrrv Commission said Tuesdays stom h'oet energy output was equal to about 15,0OO tons of TNT.

bone and flesh of our flesh. He
supposed himself to be descend
ant of Hebrew parentage. He said
so in my presence. And. indeed.
he preserved numerous features
of the Hebrew race. both in coun-
tenance and character"
However, Lincoln's knowledge
OF his own ancestry was vague
and his statement to Rabbi Wise
may have been no more than a
bit of pleasantly. When the Presi-
dents son, Robert T. Lincoln, was
asked about this, he replied that
he had never before heard that
his father supposed he had any
Jewish ancestry"
Since there is no evidence from
other sources to corroborate Rab-
hi Wise's recollection of Lincoln's
reference to his Hebrew paren-
tage, we cannot accept that Lin
coin was a Jew biologically or
ethnically. But what was he theo-
logically? In view of his refusal
to affiliate himself with any
Christian church; and that in
stating his conception of a church
worth joining he quoted pas
sage from the Old Testament
which religious Jews recite twice
daily-in the light of these con-
siderations it would seem that he
was closer to Judaism than to
Christianity. Certain it is that he,
an avid reader of the Bible, de-
rived his ideals of justice and
righteousness, his adherence of
slavery, and his inspiration to
battle for the freedom and equal
ity of all men from the impassion-
ed utterances of the ancient He
brew prophets.

thy heart and with all thy soul
