Mining g Conference
 Lashes Free Trade As Fraud, Delusiion

DENVER, R-The resolutions committee of the National West ern Mining Conference submitted a nine point report Saturday call ing for enactment of laws to pro- tect the American workers stan dard of living and equalization of foreign and domestic ores produc- ton costs.
 The sharply worded report Iashed free trade" as a fraud and a delusion," and summed up the domestic mining industry in these words:
 "(The) metal miningI industry has long been the nations guinea pig upon which have been tested impractical and unWorkable econ omic and political theories"
 It attributed to that great if nanciaI genius, the late Harry Dexter White," the formation of the International Monetary Pact and the Bretton-Woods Agree ment.
 'These two pacts," the report said, "gave a dishonest and ficti- tious value to paper currency, and condemned the world to continued imitation and political unrest"
 The report proposed amendment of Public Law 25O ''so as to vali- date all uranium and similar min ing claims located within the boundaries of oil and gas leases" within public domain since Jan. 1, 1853, and all future locations. It also called for foreign nations to be required to adopt antitrust, social security, compensation land other laws" to protect the Ameri- can Workman'S standard of living 'fbefore any attempt is made to es- tablish so-called free trade be- tween those countries and the US; and asked abrogation of pacts prohibiting the unlimited coinage and free exchange and ownership of gold and silver coins and bullion.

Red Jets And
 US. Sabres Fight g Battle Over Korea

WASHINGTON, R-The Air Force said today US. planes and Mig IS jet fighters fought a sharp arrangement near the Korean coast only 10 days ago, after a US. reconnaissance bomber was at tackled.
 No American aircraft were lost, but one of the Russian-made jets was shot down. An Air Force spokesman here, who had only terse information on the incident, said 50 far as was known in Wash ington there were no US. casual ties.
 As for the nationality of the Mig pilots, he said only, Tt is safe to assume they were Con- munists."
 This was the first known clash between us. and Communist planes since the Korean armistice was signed July 27. Whether by coincidence or not, it occurred on a day of considerable tension Jan. P was the day on which Uni ted Nations officials released to civilian status prisoners of war who refused to be repatriated to Red-held territory. The Commit nists had insisted they must be kept in neutral custody. However, no serious incident developed.
 The Air Force gave this account of the plane incident:
 A US. BB-45-a light, jet-pro- pelIed bomber fitted for recon naissance work-was flying a re- connaissance mission Jan. 22 over international waters northwest of Solz-To Island, off the west coast Of Korea, when a large formation of Mig l5 fightersn attacked it.
 F-8G jet fighters guarding the bomber opposed the attack and in the. ensuing fight shot down one Mig 15-
 The clash apparently took place north of the 38th Parallel, the old dividing line between North and South Korea.
