ENATE The• reat deb te• n e en a te came to turn of ram a t 1 ht -- wen S nator 1.atkins of Utah collaps d as he wa ma king an ad ress o the uestio n of sending U . . tr ps to the army of General Eisenhower. The Utah legislator was 1n the mid le o! a sentence, when he slumped over his desk. Fellow Senators hurried to his aid. There were quick fears -- but later on, Senator Watkins declared he had merely suffered from a dizzy spell. It all added to the tenseness of the d1scuss1on, as the Republicans pressed a drastic demand. Y e sterday the Senate voted a recommendation that President Truman should have a Congre1s1onal okay before he orders more American soliders to Eur pe. Today, GOP Senators, not content with a mere recom endat1on, demanded that the re olut1on be sent back to Com ittee -- to be turned into an outright law. But that we defeated, -- and the vote stands as a victory today for the Administration. The latest air battle in Iorea provides a novelty -- in that it was less futile than usual. Three enemy jets shot down and three damaged -- when, here- tofore, the jets did not seem able to hara eacp other to any great extent. One shot down or damaged in air battle was about average. But now we bear bow an Aaerioan f-80 Sbootia1 Star, a lone single jet plane, wae attacked by el•••• jets of the Reda. But other U.S. planes caae quictl7 to the rescue, a flight of the r-80a. That brou1ht oa a bi1 air battle, with between thirty and forty eneay jets inwolwed. They bad red no••• with red 1tara oa their wings. The tlrat tiae jet planes ot the 1•4• hawe appeared with CoaauAiat aarting1. Bitberto, tbeJ baYe ahon no inaignia at all. The coabat went on for twenty-ti•• aiautea and waa not at all deci1i••• though the Shooting Star pilots . •cored bite on two Red planes. They were ruania1 low on fuel, when into the battle caae a flight ot twenty nine f-84 Saberjets, and these ripped into the Reds. That was when enemy planes were shot down. Tbe new pbaae of the fight lasted alaoat five minute•, but the Saberjets destroyed three of the enemy, and daaaged another. KOREA North Korea was invaded twic e today. On e t h ru s t above t he Thirty-Eighth Par a llel w a s made by General McArthur in person. Flying from Tokyo, he joined the Free Koreans over en the East Coast. ~+ They have been p u s h i n g ~ the Parallel, and MacArthur took a jeep, and proceeded fifteen miles beyond the line -- where he visited an advance post of s · outh Koreans facing the enemy. The other inv a sion beyond the Parallel had less personality -- but more meaning as a thrust of war.
