Approaching Modesto (on the

In Uioae chronicles Saturday,) 'I )n

maybe exhibit them at an art

It seems expedient to find quar
ters. In the mitt off to one olds a
luminescent blob comeii Into view.
It li a neon algn with which motels
attract customers much, I sup
pose, as an Incandescent bulb at
tracts moths,
I approach It. Its appearance, as
nearly an may be Judged, Is fair
lh. Its attitude toward customers
Is non-commlttnl, there being nei
ther a "vacancy" nor a "no va

fk I enter Uie office and brace
whatever molds call the function
ary that hotels term Uie room
clerk. "How's chances?" I say to
him.
He turns to his key rack and
beuuu to fumble with the keys.
Just then the phone rums. An as
sistant to Uie functionary who dis
penses the rooms answers. It ap
pears that someone Is phoning
ahead for accommodations for the
nliihl. The assistant glances my
way. Just then the room clerk lf
thafi what Uie motels call hlml
takes down a key and lays It on
the desk while he reaches for his
registration cards.
The assistant says Into the trans
mitter: "I'm sorry, sir. but our
last room Is gone. I fear you 11
have to drive on to the next

Boyl That was a close one,
It helps to make up tor the

and glorious feeling ou foggy

There's a woman driver ahead.

any better than ah la.
Is Uiul unusual?

Women who drive cars, ol

She seats herseir under tne

mirror down and gives herself a
crIUcal appraisal. She straightens
her hat. She puts on fresh lipstick
and applies a pat or so of powder
where it will do the most good.
Then she reaches In her hand

opens the bag it becomes appar

the crew was located, was ripped
apart by the impact, but the pas

Held For
Maj. Davis
TOKYO OP) Maj. George A.
Davis, Jr. America's greatest Jet
ace, was shot down over Korea's
MIG Alley and presumably killed
Sunday after shooting down two
more Communist MIG 15s in his
last air battle. Far East Air Forces
announced Monday.
Davis had a total record of 21
planes shot down 11 MIGs and
three Communist light bombers in
Korea and seven Japanese planes
in World War n.
Although there was little doubt
that the jet ace from Lubbock, Tex.
was dead. Air Force officials re
ported him as missing in action.
NO PARACHUTE
His plane was seen to crash aft
er being hit and no parachute was
seen in the air or on the ground,

mary of Sunday's action said three
Communist MIGs were destroyed
and five damaged during "fiercely
fought clashes" over Northwest Ko
rea.
Davis also made all his previous
Korean kills in pairs of fours.
In keening with a recently adopt
ed policy. Allied air losses are not
told until the end of the wees.
Davis and his wlngman, Lt Wil
liam W. Llttlefield of Louisville,
Ky., spotted a flight of MIGs about
? a.m. Sunday and broke away
from the rest of the squadron.
Davis had Just completed firing
Dass with Llttlefield through a
flight of ten MIGs when enemy
fire struck his Sabre let.
Apparently Davis was unable to
regain control.
DESCRIPTION
Llttlefield gave this description
of Uie battle:
"Davis and I broke away from
the rest of the natrol lust north of
sinanju. We headed lor tne Yaiu
in an effort to contact MIGs head
ing into the area.
"About 10 miles from the mouth
of the Yalu and still south of the
river we sDOtted a flight of 10
MIGs just crossing into Korea. They
were about 8,000 feet below us and
Maj. Davis, called for a diving turn
to bring us In behind them.
"As we closed on the flight, Dav
is started firing at a MIG In tne
rear of the formaUon. I saw the
enemy's wing root light up from
nits by Davis sos and smoxe on-
lowed out. Just as we whizzed by
the MIG went into an uncontroll
able dive.
"Mai. Davis then called to make
sure I was sUU with him and we
continued through the formation
Davis lined up another MIG near
the front of the enemy flight and
gave him a long burst that sprayed
his right wing root. This MIG
started to smoke and went straight
down.
SHIP HIT
"By this time we had gone
through the entire formation and
were out in front of them. MIGs
must have started firing. That was
when I saw the major's ship had
been hit." ' , i
' Although an intense air search
was made over Uie entire area,
no evidence was found to indicate
that Davis survived the crash of
his ship, the Air Force said.
The 31-year old flier's wife, Dor-
Is, lives at Lubbock, Tex. They
have two children, a daughter,
Mary Margaret, and a son, George,
