Enemy's MIG Pilots 'Pretty Much Scared'
Employment Shows
Increase of 17,000
On Pacific Coast
San Francisco (U.R) Employ
ment In industry, commerce and
government on the Pacific Coast
rose 17,000 from the previous
month to 4,562,000, the regional
Bureau of Labor statistics has
reported.
Total employment, the bureau
said, is running ahead of 1951,
by 145,000 this .month, with only
contract construction and inter
state railroads showing levels
lower than February, 1951.
Manufacturing, now employ
ing 1,197,000, added 18,000 dur
ing the month, 16.000 in the dur
able goods segment. In Wash
ington and Oregon, logging and
lumbering operations increased
employment by 4,000 in each
state. However, the level in this
industry is about 7 per cent low
er than last year.
Contract construction, with
267,000 in February, gained 8,-
000 workers during February;
5,000 in California, 2,000 in
Washington, and about 1,000 in
Oregon.

all well above the U.S. aver
age of $66.83.
In addition, Oregon reported
advances in papers and printing
average hourly earnings, while creases In hourly earnings in
Washington showed small in-1 most manufacturing Industries.
Tokyo (U.R) American Sabre
pilots have "perfect control" of
the Korean skies from the Yalu
river south and are only afraid
the Communist MIG-15's will
quit fighting, the world's newest
jet ace said Saturday.
Capt. Robert H. Moore, 27,
Houston, Tex., who knocked
down his fifth MIG on April 3
and is on the way home after
100 combat missions, said he and
his fellow F-86 Sabre jet pilots
had no high regard for the fly
ing talents of the enemy.
Training Doubted
"Some of them act like they're
forced to come over the river
and fight," he said. "I don't think
they get much training. All they
learn from fighting us is what
it's like to get bounced."
The F-86 have downed MIGs
at a ratio of 8 to 1 of their own
losses. Last week they hit 40 in
cluding 15 destroyed while los
ing two Sabres.
Moore said the Sabre pilots
don't know the nationality of the
pilots they're fighting, although
a few fly the MIGs with a con
siderable skill.
"The Chinese haven't much of
a flight training program," he
said "and we're pretty sure there
aren't many North Koreans up
there." He said there was "only
one place" from which the Reds
could draw experienced pilots.
Russia Not Mentioned
Moore did not mention Russia
but high Air Force officers in
Korea have said Soviet pilots
may fly some of the MIGs.
He said the new F-86 was the
best fighter over Korea but ad
mitted that performance of the
Reds' new "type 15" startled
Americans the first time they
saw it put on speed. So far few
of the new type planes have
been sighted. One was damaged.
Moore said he believes the
Reds made a "couple" of tries
to drive the Sabres out of North
Korea.
Accused OSS Sergeant To Receive More Aid
Buffalo, N. Y. (U.R) Counsel
for Carl G. Lodolce, former OSS
sergeant accused of a wartime
murder, said that two OSS of
ficers who parachuted behind
enemy lines with the 30-year-old
Rochester, N. Y., resident, may
be called to testify in his behalf
in extradition proceedings.
Thomas G. Presutti, attorney
for Lodolce, said that former
Capt. Victor Gianino, Elkhart,
Ind., and former Lt. Aldo Icardi,
Pittsburgh, Pa., may be sum
moned as defense witnesses.
Gianino posted half of the $5,
000 bail in which Lodolce was
released April 3.
The Italian government ac
cuses Lodolce of conspiring with
Icardi to murder and rob their
former commanding officer, MaJ
William Holohan, behind Ger
man lines in Italy eight years
ago
"But that was when we had
our good days," he said. "After
that, they usually don't fly much
for a while. One time we were
even afraid they weren't going
to come up any more.
"Lots of times we chase them
to the Yalu river and they're
really driving to get across
where we can't hit them. If the
Yalu wasn't there there wouldn't
be any more MIGs at all."
The Sabre pilots, he said, can
see the MIGs sitting safely on
airfields just across the river
and often watch them training
with aerobatics over Manchuria.
"But we really have trouble
getting them to come up. We've
got them pretty well scared
now."
