Two Navy Fighter
Planes Shot Down
Russian Bomber
WASHINGTON (JP)—The Navy
acknowledged yesterday that two
of its fighter planes shot down the
Russian bomber off Korea on
Monday.
This was the first official word
that American planes knocked off
the twin-engined Soviet craft
when, the U. S. charges, it at
tempted to attack United Nations
naval forces.
At the time the incident was
first reported the state depart
ment said the bomber “opened fire
upon a U. N. fighter patrol, which
returned its fire and shot it
down.”
A navy spokesman at a briefing
session for newsmen in the Pen
togon identified the fighter planes
as two Navy Corsairs attached to
Task Force 77, composed of car
riers and supporting units.
He said the navy had no infor
mation that would support the
Moscow claim that two other Rus
sian planes were in the vicinity
or that 11 American fighters took
part in the brief fight. Moscow
also contended the destroyed
bomber was on a training flight

the good of the country.”
1 Then he added, that when he
makes a “mistake, I try to correct
it.”
Mr. Truman went on the ex
press his resentment over “un
founded attacks against certain
men in the public service.” He at
tributed those attocks to politics
in connection with the approach
ing November election.
He did not name those he said
were victims of these “unfound
ed and unjust” attacks, but he
said the attacks were not aimed
actually at these men but were
“direct attacks on the President
of the United States.”
There has been criticism of Sec
retary of State Acheson and Sec
retary of Defense Johnson during
the Marine convention.
Mr. Truman walked into the
crowded room with a broad grin
on his face. He kept that grin un
til he started speaking.
He expressed hope the Marine
i League—an organization of for
1 mer Marines—would support him
in his efforts to “get peace in the
world.” The ex-Marines applaud
ed vigorously. •
There was no show m the con- j
vention hall of the bitterness en-!
gendered by Mr. Truman’s orig-|
inal cracks about the Marines.
The commandant of the League, j
Clay Nixon, had prepared the
way for the President’s visit with
a little speech.
Nixon told his comrades the
“matters discussed yesterday are
at an end.”
He said the President was com
ing to the meeting and told them,
“We will expect you to demean
yourselves as Marines and Ameri
cans.”
A bugler sounded attention as
the President walked grinningly
up to the speakers platform. He
was applauded again when he was
introduced to the meeting by Gen.
Clifton Cates, commandant of the
Marine Corps.
Cates said, “We are gratified to
have the President of the United
States with us.” Then he added:
“We in the Marine Corps ad
mire courage, especially personal
courage.”
