NEW YORK, Sept. "a (AP) -
The Calvary Baptist Church on

agreed that the music, especial

First, Mr.. Gbur led everyone
in some gospel singing, with
Mr.. Spong, the substitute or

Mrs. Buckley, a handsome
young soprano, offered two
numbers.
Then Mr.. Cliburn played.
Of course, most of the people

The mother Of the 16-year-

anything because she thought
he was being paid in snakes.
The mother of the 12-year-old
said she was glad to see the
last of the boa constructor be-
cause it frightened her by
climbing up on the kitchen
clock.
The two boys stuffed the big
snake into a pillowcase for the
policemen. The bull snake was
by this time deceased. The
lesser fry went into the aquari-
ums and the bird cage.
Thus encountered, the two
officers went to the station
house and, for the first time
within recall. it was decided to
bypass the police property clerk,
according to Capt. John Hughes
Instead, a call was put in to
Mrs. Dickey. She came to the
station house forthwith, signed
for her snake and other sur
viving creatures and returned
them to the pet shop.
Mrs. Dickey said she did not
intend to press charges.

Sobres Fight
Over Struit

TAIPEI, Formosa, Sept. "a
(AP).-Nationalist Jets clashed
with more than 100 Red MICS
over Formosa Strait today in
one of the biggest jet battles in
history.
The Nationalist Defense min
istry said 80 Nationalist Sabre
Jets. flown by American trained
pilots, shot down II Reds and
possibly six more. It said all
Nationalist planes returned
safely after the furious To-
minute battle.
Admiral Liu Hoh-tu said the
Nationalist ambushed the
Communists as the Reds at
tempted to draw the Chang
Kai-shek airmen over the Red
mainland.
They want to claim we are
attacking the mainland and
turn public opinion against us
in the United Nations" Ad-
miral Liu said.
The conflict swirled over the
Formosa Strait area from Wen
chow 400 miles southwest to
Swatow, the spokesman said.
IA Shot Down Before
In the three previous air bat.
ties since the Communists be-
gan bombarding the Quemoy
Islands August %, the Nation
aliSts have claimed IA MICS
shot down and 3 damaged.
They say none of their own
American-built planes, flown
by American-trained pilots, has
been lost.
Mai. Gen. zee Fu-en, Ma
tionalist Air Force intelligence
chief, reported through a
spokesman that today's clash
began when MICS tried to get
between the Sabrejets and For.
moSa, and thus force the Ma.
tionalist planes over the Com.
munist mainland.
The Sabrejets we're flying in
groups at different attitudes

screaming down when the Red
tactic became apparent and in
f1icted all the kills before the
other 20 Nationalist planes
could get into the fray.
Gen. Yee said the lopsided
victory was not surprising be-
cause the huge number of
Communist planes provided a
large selection of targets. He
cited the 81 ratio of United
States Sabrejet victories over
