The plane that was allot down by the Rusaklca waa searching lor another Swedish plane that MAY have been hot down by the Rusaklca. Troublesome (but significant) thought: 'Hit Russian wouldn't have dona It If they had PEAKED Swedish retaliation, Orlm conclusion: The only way to handle bulllra (International or other kinds) la to be 8TRONO ENOUGH TO HAN DLE THEM when they go ou the looae.

He'd change his tune It we were alrong enough, to handle him. Thai brings up the 864 question:' Why are we fighting In Korea?

But It Is be coming fairly plain that the No. 1 reason for our prisoner trouble on Koje Island Is that we HAVfcNT MEN ENOUGH to man the light tng lines and handle 110.000 pris oner of war at Die same time. U looks like we'd better GET men enough there to handle the situation, otherwise, we may lose everything we're fighting tor to Korea.
