Russia Denounced
For Seizure Of
Japanese Fishers
TOKYO, (/P)—Gen. Matthew B.
Ridgway Tuesday sent a sharply
worded note to Soviet authorities,
denouncing Russian seizure • of
Japanese fishing vessels.
The Allied supreme commander
accused the Reds of grabbing
some 178 fishing craft in violation
of the occupation agreement, and
“contrary to all principles of in
ternational law and custom.”
He also accused the Russians of
holding many of the fishermen
captive, subjecting them to “pro
longed interrogations, most of
which have had northing to do
with the alleged violations of the
fishing area but on the contrary
have been solely for the purpose
of securing political, economic
and military information concern
ing conditions in Japan.”
The seizures were on the high
„ seas, the Allied statement said, in
the northern waters off Hokkaido
—the northernmost Japanese Is
land near Russian-held Sakhalin.
The protest was one of a series
on a continuing problem. Japan
ese fishing vessels have been
seized by the Reds over the past
several years. Others have been
captured by both communist and
Nationalist Chinese, North Kor
eans and even south Koreans.
BUMPER CROP
BROCKTON, Mass., (TP)— Mrs.
John H. Lightford, 25 years old,
recently gave birth to her 11th
child.
But she has a way to go be
fore catching up with her only
apparent rival as southern New
England’s youngest mother of the
largest family.
The latter is Mrs. Charles De
Mello, 38, of Tiverton, Rhode Is
land, who has had 21 children
and believes she has set a record.
Policy of Keeping Jet
Pilots for 100 Missions
Upheld by Air Force
By Sian Carter
U.S. Fifth Air Force Headquar
ters, Korea, (/P)—An Air Force
spokesman Tuesday defended the
policy of keeping all jet pilots—
including aces — in Korea until
they have finished their normal
tour of 100 combat missions.
That was the Air Force stand
cn the controversy that has raged
since Maj. George A. Davis, Jr.,
was shot down Sunday. Davis
had destroyed 11 Migs and three
red bombers in 59 missions.
The spokeman said Davis was
a hero, but that statements that
he should have been sent home
were likely to make him a figure
of controversy instead.
The first three American jet
pilots to become aces in the Kor
; ean War were returned to the
;U.S. after their fifth kill. Five
kills make a pilot an ace.

Lincoln’s Birthday
Spurs Backers of
Taft & Eisenhower
(By the Associated Press)
Cries of “A great victory” and
“Start fighting” spurred the back
ers of two entrants Tuesday in
the Republicans’ race for the pres
idency.
It was a day—the anniversary
erf Abraham Lincoln’s birth —
when Republicans everywhere
take stock and, in an election year
like this, get primed for the back
stretch drive.
In Oklahoma City, a field man
ager for Sen. Taft hailed the out
come of Oklahoma’s Republican
state convention Monday as “a
great victory for Taft.” The ses
sion wound up with seven nomin
ating delegates leaning to Taft,
seven to Gen. Dwight D. Eisen
hower and two to Gen. Douglas
MacArthur.
Victor A. Johnson predicted
that 12 of the 16 Oklahoma dele
gates would vote for Taft on the
first ballot at the national con
vention in July.
But Senator Carlson (R-Kan),
manager of Eisenhower-for-presi
dent headquarters in Washington,
said the 9-7 score in Oklahoma
represents *a moral victory for
Eisenhower, “because a month ago
it was generally assumed Eisen
hower wouldn’t get any of the
Oklahoma delegates.”
In Washington, Sen. Aiken (R
Vt) said of General Eisenhower:
“Unless he starts fighting, he’s
a dead duck.”
