11-year-old who was questioned

who forced screen doors. One
family reported a full jar of
cookies missing.

Mr.. Brown said the FBI en-

"Just because something is

Senator Mccarthy said>there

Senator Jenner asked the wit

Three Airline Pilots
Report Encounters
With Jets Off Hainan
Two Meet u. S. Croft
And Other Is Buzzed
By Unidentified Ones
By the Associated Press

HONG KONG, July 27.-Three
airline pilots reported encounters
with jet fighters off ,Red-held
Hainan Island today-two with
United States planes and the
other with unidentified jets.
A Pan American World Air
ways pilot reported he was
escorted" for few minutes by
four United States Navy Jets.
The airline Office here said no
request had been made for fighter
escort for its planes.
The two other pilots asserted
their transports had been buzzed
by fighter planes.
Capt. Homi B. Misty, pilot Of
an Air India International plane
which arrived mere from Bang
kok, reported his craft was
buzzed by two United States jets
about 80 miles off Hainan.
And Capt. Jack r. Brugger of
Paris, pilot of an Air France
Constellation, said four uniden-
titled jets buzzed his transport
about 100 miles off Hainan.
Capt. Brugger described the
planes as "the shape and color"
of Communist MIG jets.
The incidents occurred in the
general area where a British air.
liner was shot down by Chinese
Red fighters Friday with a pos
sible loss of 10 lives.
Capt. Misty said he "saw two
more United States jets about
6 miles away" He estimated his
position as 100 miles north of
Tourane on the Indo-C China
coast.
Capt. Brugger said four UNI
identified jets followed his plane
for four minutes and then
Swooped up on the right side and
across the CONSULTATIONS nose
before they disappeared.
The Air France transport,
bound from Saigon to Tokyo
with 20 persons aboard. landed
safely at Hong Kong's Kaitak
Airfield.
Capt. Brugger said the fighters
were green in color but that he
could see no markings. He
added sit was a color that United
States planes do not use.'
Capt. Brugger said his plane
was two hours out of Saigon and
flying at 1900 feet when the
four fighters appeared behind
him, where they remained for
four minutes.
Then one by one, he said, the
four fighters swept up on the
right side of the Constellation,
apparently looking it over. The
Jets then zoomed to about 10000
feet and disappeared. He added
there was no panic aboard his
plane.
Capt. Max C. Weber of Great
harrington. Mass, pilot of a
Pan American World Always
transport which arrived here
from Bangkok, reported he was
escorted" for few minutes by
four United States Navy jet
fighters. Weber said there is
no question about their identity
they were United States Navy
planes"
The reports came shortly after
Cathay Pacific Airlines, whose
four-engine transport was shot
down Friday. had Cancelled its

Senator Mccarthy said today
that Brig. Gen. Ralph w.
Zwicker was lone of the most
arrogant and insolent witnesses
ever to appear before our COM
mittee."
The Wisconsin Republican de-
Tended his treatment of Gen.
Zwicker and of Mrs. Annie Lee
Moss. Pentagon clerk. in testi-
flying before a Senate Rules
subcommittee which is studying
proposals for revising rules for
Senate Investigations.
Senator Mccarthy also stout
ly defended his advocacy of
burning books by Communist
authors which may be found in
Government libraries.
It was Senator McCarthy's
treatment of Gen. Zwicker, COM
mander of Camp Kilmer, New
Jersey, that touched off in late
February the bitter Army-Mc-
earthly row. The Senator was
quoted as telling the much
decorated Army officer that you
are not fit to wear that uniform
in closed session in which he
was sitting as a one-man COM
mittee.
Cites Testimony.
Senator Mccarthy, the chair
man of the Senate Investigations
Subcommittee, was questioning
Gen. Zwicker about the promo
ton and honorable discharge of
Maj. Irving Peress, former Army
dentist described by the Sena-
tor as a fifth amendment Com
muniSt."
Senator Mccarthy told the
committee today that "some one
might say I was impatient with
Gen. Zwicker. I don't think I
was. I think I showed more
patience than any man could
have. Read the testimony and
see if you can find any abuse
any place."
AS for the case of Mrs. Moss,
who has been restored to a job
in the Pentagon after being sus-
pended as the result of Sena-
tor McCarthy's charge that she
was Communist, the Wiscon-
sin Republican said that his sub
committee was not finished with
her case. He said that she was
named ito us by a responsible
agent as a former member of
the Communist Party" and he
added 1--WE have no doubt about
the identity of Annie Lee Moss.
We are not finished with the
Moss case"

Senator Anderson. Democrat.
of New Mexico. today accused
Republican Leader Knowland of
provoking the new f1libuster
which had the Senate at a
standstill again today after the
deadlock on the atomic energy
bill was broken temporarily yes
terday.
Senator Anderson told report
ers the Majority Leader knew
when he had an amendment by
Senator Morse. independent, Of
Oregon, tabled late last night
that it would touch off a new
round of debate by the opposi-
ton forces.
1--WE feel we have been pretty
badly treated. He (Senator
Knowland) has done everything
to bring on a filibuster and he
probably will succeed"
Senator Morse surrendered the
floor early this afternoon, after
having spoken IL hours and %
minutes. He said he could easily
have equaled his own record Of
% hours and Is minutes, but
Senator Anderson whispered to
him that some of his colleagues
wanted to speak. He said he
would prepare himself for an
other day If necessary.
Kn0wland Answers Charge.
Senator Knowland denied the
Anderson contention that the
Senate could have recessed last
night with a good prospect Of
passing the bill today If the
Morse amendment had not been
tabled.
The Senator said he tried with
out success to reach agreement
with Senator Morse for reason
able time limit on the remainder
of the bill before he moved to
table the Morse amendment.
Senator Anderson said there
were at least IL Senators ready
to take the floor when Senator
Morse finished his speech.
1t was learned that Repub-
lican floor managers will at
tempt to break the new filibuster
by a strict enforcement Of a
Senate rule, which states that
" No Senator shall speak
more than twice upon on any
one question in debate on the
same day without leave of the
Senate, which shall be deter
mined without debate"
Records Being Kept.
It is understood that a record
is being kept of the number of
speeches each Senator has made
on the bill. This rule also al
lows each member two speeches
on any amendment, and while
there is no way to limit the
number Of amendments that
may be offered, Republican
leaders could move to table
each amendment as offered.
Motions to table are not debat-
able.
Supporters of the bill believe
the Senate would dispose of the
measure rather than continue
indefinitely to table a steady
flow of amendments.
Senator Anderson, holding his
thumb and forefinger just lit
tie apart, said, 1--WE we're Just
that close" to action on the bill
when Senator Knowland made
his motion to table last night.
Nov it's hopeless, he said.

would say.
And to do that. he noted, would
