Tokyo (U.R) Crack Ameri
can Sabre jet fighter planes are
now escorting reconnaissance
planes over Northern Japan,
ready to give battle to encroach
ing MIGs of the Soviet Rusian
air force.
. Long standing orders to shoot
down invading Red jets have
' been forcefully restated.
It is indicated that both the
United States and the Russian
air forces now ere operating on
a "shoot first" basis in the event
of any contact over or near the
North Japan area.
A high American tofficer said
that reconnaissance flights of
US. Air Force planes, and map
ping flights by B29s near the ex
plosive' frontier would continue.
The new situation was dis
closed less than 24 hours after
President Eisenhower said in a
press conference in Washington
that if a fighter escort was neces
sary in any area where planes of
this Country had a right to go,
the escort planes ought to be
used.
The new situation arises from
the shooting down by the Rus
sians Sunday of a B29 mapping
plane over Northern Japan.
In "that instance, the captain of
the B29 did not give orders to
shoot back.- In the future, it is
indicated, there will be no' such
failure to meet a Red challenge.
-1 surveyed the situation over
Northern Hokkaido Island on 'a
recent visit, before Sunday's at
tack. There always has been a con
stant watch for the MIGs.
' ; A handful of lonely American
radar men watch the MIGs go
through their paces every flying
day. - -
If the MIGs get too close, U.S.
fighter bases 200 miles to the
west and southwest are alerted.'
If the. Soviet jets nose over
Japanese territory, American
fighter pilots scramble with
orders to shoot down the MIGs
or chase them out. x
The Russians have their bases
Qn the Kurile Islands, and Sakha
lin Island,; 20 to. 40 miles from
the' Hokkaido Island coast..
American airmen believe the
MIGs which shot down the B29
Sunday came from en airdrome
on Kunashiri, southernmost of
the Kuriles, whose volcanic
mountains can be seen even on
cloudy days from Hokkaido's
shores.
On clear days the Russian air
base, where scores of MIGs are
stationed, is visible from a plane
flying over Hokkaido.
In addition to the contsant
watch for invading MIGs, the
Sabre jets are now escorting re-
waiting to go up when it might
be too late. ,
One reason for the American
determination to continue flights
in the area is that there are gaps
in the giant Air Force pho
tographic maps of Hokkadio,
due to bad weather which pre
vented earlier completion of a
mapping project.
If this frontier ever became a
battlefield, the .maps would be
useful. ,
. But a high officer made it
clear that stubborn defense of
American rights , is the bigger
reason for continuing the dan
gerous flights.
"If we can't fly where we have :
a perfect right to fly, we're in
bad shape," he said.
Veteran airmen predict that
there will be no more iRnlnttuf
-clashes so long as the planes on
both sides are jets,
v In all the clashes so far, Amer
ican propeller-driven planes
have been dumped by the MIGs.

live Citizen Oath
To About
By UNITED PRESS
v Some 50,000 persons, of every
race and more than 50 nations,
became American citizens today
at public celebrations of natur
alization across half the world.
; Bands played. The flag flew
for salute from Maine to the is
land of Guam, from Internation
al Falls, Minn., to Puerto Rico.
Parades disbanded and stood at
solemn attention for the unique
ceremony of a national holiday
that celebrated together- the
strong arm of the nation's war
veterans and the welcoming hand
of a peaceful America.
Courts Convene
Federal courts convened in
two New York ball parks, in
San Diego's Balboa park, on the
deck of the battleship Missouri,
to administer the oath of citizen
ship to refugees from war and
Communism, to those who fled
poverty and to those who travel
ed for adventure and for love.
, Only about 15,000 American
citizens will be born today.
The mass ceremony, coinci
dent with the first celebration
of Veterans Day, renamed from
World War I's Armistice Day,
was conceived by the Depart
. ment of Justice.
Application Log Jam
Immigration officials said the
large number of persons attain
ing citizenship at this time was
caused in part because the law
prohibits naturalizations for the
two months before election day.
Increased applications had fur
ther caused a log jam which was
broken by intensive work toward
today's ceremony. :
Morse Predicts
McCarthy Censure
- Durham, N.C. (U.R) Sen.
Wayne Morse predicted today
the Senate will vote to censure
Sen. "Joseph R. McCarthy by a
three to one margin.
Censure of McCarthy will be
on the basis of his conduct as an
"agent of the Senate," the Ore
gon Independent said in a speech
at Duke Woman's college audi
torium last night.
Morse said he and the Demo
cratic party are willing to be
"very bipartisan" as.far as the
administration is concerned.
Morse said prior to the election
that he would vote with the
Democrats to help them organize
the Senate.
"The President has not been
bipartisan himself," Morse said.
?He has not asked for minor
party consultation in advance of
policy." .
-: Morse, said that "when, the full
facts are known, the Dixon-Yates
contract will make the Teapot
Dome look like an honest trans
action."
- The 54-year-old senator said
he intends to run as an Inde
pendent in 1956 but that he
would run as a Democrat if he
thought in that way he could
"better help a sound liberal
cause. -

Portland U.R) Repeal of

of the Portland milk shed to see
whether a federal marketing or

Since Nov. 2 when the milk
law was repealed, milk prices
generally have gone down two
cents a quart for store-purchased
milk and most distributors have
said home-delivered milk will
go down about one-cent a quart
in the next week or so.

Gold Reserve Act .
Validity Attacked :
In Portland Suit
Arbitrary Price
Affects Operation , -
, Portland (U.R) A civil dam
age suit attacking the validity of
the 20-year-old gold reserve act
and the $35 per ounce price
standard was filed in U.S. Dist
rict Court here yesterday.
The action against the federal
government was brought by
Gladys Laycock, Prairie City,
who owns 65 per cent of the
Dixie Meadows gold mine in
Grant county. .
Operation Unprofitable
Mrs. Laycock's suit contends
that the arbitrary gold ? price
does not permit economical pro
cessing of gold ore. She said the
Dixie Meadows mining interests
have some 243,000 tons of ore
which it cannot afford to process
profitably.
Representing Mrs. Laycock is
Norman Easley, Portland attor
ney, who represented Woodrow
Wilson Atwood and Stephen G.
.Crippen, Medford, who were
charged with illegal possession
of gold. v
The suit sets forth 'that the
1935 presidential" order: -fixing
the price of the precious metal
at $35 an ounce has substantial
ly destroyed the gold mining in
dustry, because the federal gov
ernment has "deliberately con
ducted a policy of inflation and
depreciation of paper currency.
Emergency Doesn't Exist
The plaintiff also contends
that the state of emergency on
which the legislation was based
no longer evists.'The constitu
tionality of the gold act and
presidential order were attack
ed as unlawful delegation of au
thority, direct interference with
the right to own and use private
property, exceeding me powers
given Congress by the constitu
tion and depriving the plaintiff
of property without due process
of law.

Compromise Formula
Washington (U.R) Senate
Republican Leader William F.
Knowland said''today the Senate
should dispose of the censure
move against Sen. Joseph R
McCarthy before going home.
As . the Senate rolled into its
second day of full dress debate
Knowland , told newsmen,
doubt very much whether sena
tors on either side of the aisle
or either side of the question-
want to delay final action."
Knowland s remarks came
after Sen. Homer E. Capehart

call off the temper rattling cen
sure debate until January to re
move the issarfrqm the present
atmosphere of post - election

' McCarthy's supporters drove
hard behind the scenes to whip
up a compromise formula to
blunt or at least soften the ap
parently unbeaten censure move.
But Sen. Everett M. Dirksen
(R-ni.), a floor leader of the Mc
Carthy forces, denied any intent
by his side to filibuster. Dirksen
agreed with Knowland that the
Senate is "almost compelled to
take action" before adjourning
its special session, which was
called specifically to debate the
censure issue. -
Knowland, questioned by re
