Nine Skyraider Pilots
Shared in Destruction
OF Two Red Planes
RiverdoIe Flyer Among

In Clash Off Holman
By the Associated Press

MANILA, July 31.-Two Red
Chinese fighter planes who
picked a fight with United States
Navy pilots five days ago ran
into "a bunch of tigers" the
American air commander said
today.
The Chinese were shot down
July 26 by the United States
pilots, who were searching for
possible survivors of a British
airliner shot down by Red Chi
nese planes off Hainan Island.
In three action-packed min
utes, Skyraiders from the air
craft carrier Philippine Sea
blasted the propeller-driven Red
fighters into the South China
Sea about Is miles east Of Com
munist-held Hainan. No Amer
lean casualties were reported.
Eleven Planes in Clash.
Eleven Skyraiders took part in
the clash. Two pilots fired
bursts into one of the Red planes
before it crashed and seven pilots
shared in destruction of the Sec
ond plane. One OF the latter
seven was Ensign John j. Zardus,
5007 Nicholson street, Riverdale,
Md.
The United States protested
to Peiping that the search planes
were attacked over open sea.
Peiping rejected the protest and
charged United States planes
violated" the air over Hainan.

Communist Chinese gunboat

Britain had refused his plea for

No Interest in C0rt.
Britain had no legal grounds
to prevent Cort's flight behind

the question to a special seven
man committee would be beaten.
but that some similar motion
for a committee inquiry is likely
to carry.
Two Republicans came out
against, and one for. the CEN
sure move as the debate was
resumed. Senator Hickenlooper
of Iowa and Martin of Pennsyl-
vania said they would vote
against the Flanders motion.
Senator Duff of Pennsylvania
announced he will support it.
Formal Action Taken.
Shortly after the debate was
resumed at 10 am. the Senate
went through the formality OF
making the Flanders resolution
the pending business. The de-
bate last night was on the pre-
liminary motion to take it up.
Ironically, the motion to take
up the Flanders resolution was
made by the man against whom
it is directed. Senator Nc
Carthy 1t carried on a voice
vote, with a scattering of mos"
on the Republican side.
Joining in the debate for the
first time. Senator Mccarthy
told his colleagues he will never
quit investigating corruption
and communism in Government
if he had to do that to play
ball" with the administration.
Bares Talk With Mccarthy.
Senator Smith had just re-
vealed that during the recent
televised Army -McC arthy hear
ings he conferred with Senator
Mccarthy and suggested that
he put his many valuable skills
at the disposal of the President
and the administration" Sem
ator Smith said he had been
disturbed because it seemed to
him that Senator Mccarthy had
defied the President of the United
States in the matter of classi-
fed information.
The New Jersey Senator said
he suggested that Senator Nc
Carthy temporarily suspend
operations of his Investigations
Subcommittee. especially in view
OF the recent establishment of a
new internal security division in
the Justice Department.
Senator Mccarthy interrupted
to declare: IF by playing ball
the Senator from New Jersey
means quitting our committee
investigation of corruption and
Communism in Government,
that kind of ball I will never
play"
Senator Smith said all Sena-
tors have committee RESPONSE
bilities and other obligations.
They want the Senator from
Wisconsin to be one of us and
not separate entity" Senator
Smith added.
Substitute Plan Modified.
In o further conciliatory
move, Senator Smith today
modified his substitute for the
censure resolution, under which
the whole subject of senatorial
investigative procedures would
be studied by a seven-man COM
mittee. He took out of the sub
stitute all direct reference to
Senator Mccarthy. The orig
inal Smith motion directed the
committee to consider the dis
unity lover the alleged good or
evil Of so-called McCarthyisn."
AS he reworte it. it merely
calls for a study of the disunity
lover the problems created by
the fact that there had been in

and eliminating such security
