Fighters Will
Accompany U. S.
Far East Patrols
WASHINGTON, UP> — Navy jet
fighters equipped with deadly ac
curate sidewinder missiles will
accompanjfc future reconnaissance
flights in Far Eastern interna
tional waters, Congressional
sources reported yesterday.
Members of the House Appro
priations Defense Subcommittee
disclosed the plans after a secret
huddle with naval officals. The
meeting was called as a result of
an attack by Comunist planes on
a naval patrol plane over the Sea
of Japan Monday.
The informant said the patrol
plane was unable to fight back
because most of its armament had
been replaced by reconnaissance
equipment.
Senators have demanded that
steps be taken to see to it that
no American plane again is de
fenseless.
“Our planes should be fully
armed and have their guns ready
to fire if they are attacked,” Sena
tor Styles Bridges said. “We are
going to investigate this situation
and see what can be done about
making certain that our men can
fight back immediately if they
are fired on.”

‘Superman’ Suicide
HOLLYWOOD, UP>—Television’s
Superman shot and "killed himself
yesterday, leaving no clue to his
motive, only moments after his
fiancee had a premonition of his
death.
Police Sgt. V. A. Peterson told
of the suicide and its strange
prelude.
Peterson said actor George
Reeves’ fiancee, Lenore Lemmon,
35, and three other persons were
in Reeves’ house.
Miss Lemmon and a writer, Rob
ert Condon, 45, were house
guests.
The fiancee told police that she
and Reeves and Condon had re
tired to their respective bedrooms
at about 12:30 a.m. But about two
hours later two of Reeves’ friends
appeared at the house and awak
ened Reeves.
Investigators said the 45-year
cld actor became angry because of
the lateness of the hour, but apol
ogized almost immediately after
a short argument. He then exc
cused himself and retired for a
second time.
Miss Lemmn said when Reeves
left to go to his second-story bed
room she jokingly remarked, “well,
he’ll probably shoot himself.” A
drawer was heard to open, and
she remarked. “Well, he’s getting
a gun.”
Then a shot was heard. Reeves
had killed himself with a bullet
in the temple from a .30 caliber
Luger pistol.
The investigators said from her
story they believed Reeves might
have been upset because people
wouldn’t leave the house.
