American Sabre jets shot down two Russian made jets and damaged three, the U.S. Fifth Air Force announced. That raised red losses this week to 11 planes shot down, one probably destroyed and 17 damaged—a total of 80. Eighty-nine jets were involved in the two battles, which were fought with 12 hours of the first fire bomb attack on United Nations troops. As reds stepped up their air war to new heights, their troops pushed Allied forces back in the two biggest ground actions reported. On the ground, U.N. patrols Friday ran into what appeared to be the reds' first line of defense on the Western front. Allied officers there predicted a limited communist counteroffensive Monday.

Allied officers there predicted a limited communist counteroffensive Monday. Front line dispatches reported Chinese showered artillery and mortar fire on an Allied patrol north of Yonchon. That, for the second successive day, forced back U.N. units probing toward Pyonggang in the old red "iron triangle." The reds didn't try to interfere with patrols poking around Kae-song, far to the west. The town was entered Thursday but not by returning units Friday. Reds made three small attacks on the east central front Friday, but didn't get anywhere. Their air force was no more successful. MIGs Attack Thirty red-nosed MIG-15s roared out of Manchuria and across the Yalu river Friday morning to renew the jet war after a one-day lapse.

This was developed today the Senate inquiry into Ma-thur's dismissal for publicly vocating use of the Nation troops and other direct blows red China.

The prorate is 250 cars less than last week and 500 less than the projected season's schedule of 1,400 cars. Vote on next week's prorate was 6-4 with organizations split in their opinions between 900 and 1,000 cars. Pressure was on the committee from various industry segments for open movement and even abolition of volume prorate. Spokesmen for Orange county, heart of the Valencia crop, termed volume prorate "utterly futile" and called for its early demise. A letter was read into the record from the Eadington Fruit Co. of Fullerton, advising its growers that the firm was discontinuing shipments in the face of drastically low prices caused by "unrealistically high prorate" for the past few weeks. In committee discussion, however, it was agreed that although volume proration has its short-term benefits, it would not be effective long term. Knowland produced the paper while the senators were hearing testimony from Maj. Gen D. G. Barr, former commander of Seventh Division in Korea. He had given them a personal stint of the sudden Chinese assaults United States forces last fall when they had ranged up to the Korean Manchurian border. Ridgway told Collins he MacArthur had agreed that U.S. action should be taken to persevere against the Nationalist forces under Chiang Kai-Shek in Formosa; operate without delay and with regular weekly dinner-meetings. Maybee has fished for over years in the Gulf of Mexico near 50 times during the past five years. He related some of many experiences, including encounters with leopard shark, whale shark, dolphins and blue marlin. The largest fish he ever caught was 15 feet 7½ inches long and weighed 735 pounds. He stated took 20 men to take the fish off the boat. After his talk, showed pictures of his fishing adventures. Ed Wisser was program chairman and the meeting was under the direction of Harwo Larson.
