The Communist Air Force hurled
an unprecedented 850 to 900 MIG

the Korean border in six days of
stepped-up aerial wa r through

with shattering losses.
Dogfights blazing over North
west Korea Monday cost the reel

down and_ one probably destroyed.
Fifth Air Force authorities who
gave these figures said that on the
first three days of running battle,
no U.S. Sabres were lost in com
bat. If there were any U.S. losses
in the last three days they will be

The station is in f"fairly good
shape," he said, and added now
that the Trustees have given their
official approval to the project,
orders for major transmission and
studio equipment have been
placed; Due to priority defense
order, however, these may not be
delivered for six weeks to three
months, he said.
Mackey also said there would
be a meeting for students inter
ested in joining the station staff
at 4 p.m. Friday in 312 Sparks. He
requested students interested in
any phase of the operation of a

The air battles also may have
cost the Communists a "big shot"
pilot. A MIG with a dragon in
signia on the fuselage was shot
down in flames despite fevered
efforts of Red pilots to aid it.
There was no ready explanation
from Air Force headquarters for
.the recent outpouring of Red
planes from their jet bases at An
tung, across the Yalu River border
in Manchuria. However, the heavy
jet actions have coincided with
tightening of the truce deadlock
at Panmunjom.

was estimated . between 800 and

tion Week in September for in
structions and practice.
Community Effort
Mackey said he hopes to call
a meeting this week of schools,
departments, clubs, and organi
zations interested in presenting
programs next fall. It has not
been decided how to allot time
to these groups, he said. The only
expected programs are sporting
events, reports from cabinet and
the President's office, and shows
by various religious, cultural and
academic groups.
In regard to the, station, Mackey
said, "This 'is a community ef
fort, being supported by students,
faculty, and administration with
each group contributing money,
time and energy, and moral sup
,port." He said the station will
not be able to please all students
all the time but will "try to do
the best 'possible, consistent with
policy set up by trustees."

"How they (MIGs) can stand
the punishment I don't know,"
Szaniawski said. "I know - we
couldn't stand it."
The tally of MIGs destroyed
this month was reaching record
proportions. In September, 1952,
Allied pilots set a new war rec
ord. In the first 18 days of May
the Sabres are 22 shy of this
mark.
'Do It Again'
McConnell's grand slam per
formance of three MIGs downed
in a single day came on his 106th
