Dr. L. R. Patmount of Witter

the Bering Sea in a water-tight
container was a side gesture.

about 200 miles south of the Am

bing toward Siberia, which pro
trudes to within about 50 miles of

Sabre Jets Raise
June Bag of Migs
To 74 For Record
SEOUL, UPl — Sabre jet pilots
Tuesday shot down 15 Commu
nist Migs and raised their June
bag to 74, a record-smashing total
run up without the loss of a single
Sabre in air combat.
“Never has the issue of Sabre
versus Mig been so convincingly
resolved,” said Lt. Gen. S. E. An
derson, Fifth Air Force command
er, in a message to his pilots.
It was Anderson who put out
figures showing that not a single
Sabre was shot down by a Mig
in June. He said 143 Migs were
shot down in the past 75 days at
the cost of one Sabre. That Sabre
was lost in May when the Fifth
Air Force ran up a 55-1 margin.
The Sabres closed out June in
a blaze of glory. Not only did they
smash the month record of 63
set last September, but they also
erased the old single day mark of
13 set last July 4.
The ground war dwindled to
mostly probes and skirmishes,
but the Eighth Army anounced
that the Communists fired a rec
ord-breaking IV2 million artillery
and mortar shells this month.
It meant that almost two shells
crashed down on Allied lines for
every single foot of the 155-mile
front—more than four for every
Allied soldier on the line.

New Defense Setup
Goes Into Effeet
WASHINGTON, (J*)—A Defense
Department reorganization which
President Eisenhower said would
strengthen civilian control but
which opponents described as
making way for a “military man
on horseback” went into effect
Tuesday.
It gives to the chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, the head of
the Pentagon’s strategy - making
organization, new functions — a
provision opposed by a deter
mined but unsuccessful group of
Republicans and Democrats in the
House.
The effort to stop the plan from
going into operation was beaten
Saturday, 234 to 108, with oppo
nents falling 110 votes short of
the majority needed to veto it.
Today’s combat planes some
times carry as many as 2,000 elec
tronic tubes.
