465 feet long and 74 feet wide. It
will carry a full load of 7,760 tons

cargo or personnel to shore or to

Six Big Publishing and
Advertising Associations
NEW YORK, UP)—The United
States Government Thursday filed
a civil anti-trust suit against six
major publishing and advertising
associations.
It accused them chiefly of con
spiring to restrain national adver
tisers “from placing copy direct
with media without employing an
advertising agency” and to fix
the rate of agency commissions.
Named as defendants were the:
American Assn, of Advertising
Agencies; American Newspaper
Publishers Assn.; Publishers Assn,
of New York City; Associated
Business Publications, Inc.; Peri
odical Publishers Assn, of Ameri
ca; and Agricultural Publishers
Assn.
The government is opposed to
the practice of newspapers and
other publications of accrediting
about 900 advertising agencies.
These agencies receive a 15 per
cent discount on advertising that
is placed in newspapers and other
media. The agency retains the 15
percent.

At Least 32 Migs
In Area When U.S.
Jets Were Attacked
KUNSAN, Korea, —A U.S.
Air Force squadron commander
said Thursday there were at least
32 Communist Migs in the Yellow
Sea area where his flight of eight
Sabrejets was attacked Tuesday.
Lt. Col. Robert E. Dawson told
a news conference half of the
Russian-built jets flew protective
cover for the attacking Commu
nist planes.
Dawson related details of the
eight-minute air scrap in which
U.S. fliers shot down two Migs
and probably bagged two others.
The Air Force said all U.S. Sa
bres returned without a scratch.
Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor, United
Nations commander in chief, or
dered a strong protest before the
Military Armistice Commission
against “the hostile and illegal at
tack” by the Migs.
Taylor sent the instructions to
Maj. Gen. Harlan C. Parks, senior
U.N. member of the Joint Military
Armistice Commission in Korea.
Dawson declared:
“It was impossible for us to
make a hostile act towards them
. . . They were far above us.
“They were the Mig type air
craft—exactly what series could
not be established.
“There was no damage sus
tained at all by us. However, three
different pilots said they were
fired upon.”
The Red China radio said one
Sabre was shot down and two
! damaged.
Dawson, of Dayton, Ohio, said
“throughout this and other mis
sions I followed direct instruc
tions to engage hostile aircraft
only if attacked—to defend our
selves.”
