Pilot Accidentally
Downs Jet Fighter
From 38,000 Feet
JACKSON, Mich., UP)—'“It was
a perfect hit. In my 17 years of
flying, I’ve never seen a better
hit.”
Thus did Lt. Col. Montie Davis
describe his air-to-air missile shot
Monday that knocked a jet fight
er out of the sky at 38,000 feet.
The' pilot parachuted to safety.
“It happened because I’m the
world’s biggest knothead,” Davis
told newsmen at Selfridge Air
Force Base where he is command
ing officer of the 71st Interceptor
Squadron.
Davis, 37, said he didn’t know
his jet was loaded with deadly
missiles and rockets as he flew
on a training mission over south
ern Michigan with Lt. Albert L.
Pruderr, 25, of Mount Clemens,
Mich. Both were flying F-102
supersonic Delta Daggers.
Davis aimed at Pruden’s tar
get plane and pressed the trigger
in make-believe firing. An air-to
air missiel struck the plane.
Pruden’s plane — a wing shot
off—went into a spin and crashed
in flames in a farmyard. A fam
ily of three ran from the path of
the falling craft.
Pruden bailed out and drifted
in his parachute for 45 minutes
before landing in a cornfield. He
suffered mild shock, a cut foot
and a bruised leg.
“Something went wrong with
my plane,” Pruden said after
ward. “It felt like I was hit by
something. It went into a spin
and I couldn’t pull it out, so I
bailed out.”
The Air Force would not say
what type if missile Davis fired.
It was described as a kind that
seeks out its target.
Davis said his eagerness to get
going with the practice mission,
which was behind schedule, was
to blame for the accident. He said
his plane was a last-minute sub
stitute for a jet he already had
checked for the flight. He said he
took the plane into the air with
out a complete preflight check.
Bing’s Wife Has Girl
HOLLYWOOD, UPt—Bing Cros
by is a father again. But this
time there’s a difference: His
sixth-born is a girl.
The 6-pound, 15-ounce daughter

earlier.
Bing, 55, has four grown sons
by his first wife, the late Dixie
Lee, and a 13-month-old son
Harry Lillis III, by Miss Grant.
She is 24.

pital coffee shop and read a news
paper while waiting for the word.
The baby will be named Mary

Congress Adjourns Only Five Hours
Before Arrival of Soviet Premier
By JOE HALL
WASHINGTON, UP — Congress
closed out its long and—for the
Democratic majority—often frus
trating 1959 session early Tues
day.
Final adjournment came only
five hours before Soviet Premier
Khrushchev was due in Wash
ington.
The House quit at 6:21 a.m. and
the always more leisurely Senate
hurried to quit three minutes later
ending the longest continuous ses
sion since the Korean war year
of 1951.
An hour before adjourning,
Senate leaders woke President
Eisenhower with a call to the
White House, made at his re
quest. They reported they were
about to quit, and he replied he
had nothing more to ask of them
this year.
Leave Lois of Work For 1960
The weary legislators left be
hind a heavy load of business for
their 1960 national election ses
sion, starting next January 6.
The final adjournment just be
fore Khrushchev’s scheduled ar
rival pleased some of the mem
bers who sought to make sure
there would be no occasion for an
address by the Premier to the
Congress.
Others, who wanted a face-to
face meeting with the Soviet
leader, were satisfied with a ses
sion arranged by the Senate For
eign Relations Committee at the
capitol Wednesday afternoon.
For the Senate, adjournment
ended a 21Vfe hour session start
ing at 9 a.m. Monday to clean up
the final business of the first ses
sion of the 86th Congress.
Congress’ final action was to
appropriate $3,225,813,000 for for
eign aid and about 400 million
dollars ' for miscellaneous other
purposes. The aid total was 330
million less than Congress had
authorized in an earlier bill, was
a compromise of Senate and
House figures.
Also approved, as part of the
bill, was a two-year extension of
the life of the Civil Right Com
mission otherwise due to die in
November. It was given $500,000
in new funds to continue its work
in the next year.
Probably the most noteworthy
acts of the 1959 session were to
admit Hawaii as the 50th state
and to pass a far-reaching labor
regulation bill.
But the list of major bills left
over for what must be a far
shorter session next year is longer
than^the roll of 1959 accomplish
ments. Congress then will be
driving for an early July adjourn
ment in advance of the Demo
cratic national convention meet
ing July 11 in Los Angeles.
The held-over list includes civil
rights, a general farm bill, aid to
education, aid for depressed areas,
broadening of social security, and
perhaps general tax revision.
Less Than Expectations
On several important issues, the
Democratic leadership got legis
lation passed this year, but re
duced far below expectations at
the start of the session.
The spending issue dominated
much of the session, with Presi
dent Eisenhower getting far more
mileage out of this than many
Democrats had believed possible
eight months ago.
To meet the spending .charge,
Democrats claimed they had cut
the President’s appropriations re
quests by $1,881,000,000. But even
so, the total of $81,975,368,352
voted in the session was a record
for any peacetime year. Republi
cans said indirect appropriations
would add still more.
Probably the most dramatic de
bates this year in both branches
swirled around the labor regula
tion bill. The measure which rer
suited was a a big victory for
Eisenhower.
