At this time last year. unemploy- ment was slightly higher than this year with 12,534 reported while the amount of payments was around | $20,000 lower.

Fifth Air Force said American | Sabre jet pilots shot down another | Communist MIG today—the 19th in six straight days of smashing vic- tories against -the Russian-built jets. The Air Force also triumphant- | ly announced prior to today’s furi- ous jet battle over North Korea that not a single Allied plane was lost in aerial combat in the past week. However, four were lost to enemy ground fire and four to un- reported causes. American Sabres damaged 19 Communist jets. Swift allied fighter-bombers to- day maintained a stepped-up pace against Communist supply and troop targets in North Korea. Pilots reported 28 buildings de- stroyed and four damaged in a fiery bomb, rocket and jellied gas- oline attack on four Haeju Penin- sula troop concentrations, near the 38th Parallel. The, U. S. Eighth Army reported Allied troops today twice lost an advance position to artillery-sup- ported Chinese troops east of Pan- munjon, site of the truce talks. An oversize enemy platoor won the hill before dawn. Plane-supported Allied soldiers retook it in mid-morning but lost it before noon. Chinese artillery fired 4,000 shells in support of the Red force. Considering that the win-lose ratio of Sabre jets usually runs about 8-1 over the streaking MIGs, the past stx days possibly have been the most successful of the war for U. N. fighter pilets. The Air Force also announced it had been determined that ‘one F-86 Sabrejet was lost in air to air encounter during the previous weekly period.” This was a de- layed report. It was another day of fine, bright weather and the warplanes were | out in force. On the ground, the Army today disclosed a bold foray. which a U. S. Eighth Army tank and in- fantry team made into enemy ter- ritory on the central front—an in- vasion which was met by a re- markable 3,000 rounds of Commu- nist mortar and artillery fire. | The Eighth Army armored raid- | ers' struck a Red position southeast | of Pyonggang early Friday and a | bloody battle raged for four hours and 15 minutes. Seventy-nine enemy were killed or wounded, 11 bunkers were blown clean of Reds; six communication trenches were knocked out of op- eration. There was no report as to wheth- er’all tanks returned. Seldom have the Reds lavished so much artillery and mortar in a single operation. | The poisonous bite of the back | widow spider kills about 5 per cent of its known victims.

But as chief law-enforcement of- ficer, MeGranery said he has “‘lat- itude in deciding whether prosecu- tions should or should not be pressed.” Latva's two sons, Carl and Paul —both World War II veterans— | called McGranery’s announcement “good news’ and “wonderful.” “The family is greatly indebted 'to the press for their interest in , | the case,” Paul said at his broth- er’s home in Guild, N.
