Today Major Blesse shot down his fifth enemy jet, which gives him the rating of an ace - the nineteenth · • in the I ore an war th us far. One sabre-jet was lost - the pilot bailing out. He reported by radio. that his plane w a s damaged, his fuel exhausted - so he was going out b i parachute. This was over enemy territory - and, p recumably, he's a µ risoner toni g ~t.

FLYING CARPET ------------ The com m and r o f the "flying c a rpet airlift" says it was a good thin g - not on l y for nearly four thousand Moslem ilgrims, but also for the U.S. Air force. - Brigadier General Wentworth Goss took two squadrons of planes from Gpr m any down to the Lebanon - where the pilgrims were strand d. The government of Lebanon had ap p ealed to our State Department - whdch, in turn, appe a led to the Air Force. So the two squadrons com m anded by General Goss flew more than thirty-seven hundred lloslems to Jidda, the p o r t - ~ the holy cities of Medina and Mecca. It sure was a favor to the p ilgrims - and ■uch appreciated in M oha ru 1 edan countries. Ap for the Air Fo~ce, General Goss declares: "That airlift was a splendid training exercise in the sort of job we are expect e d to do at a moment's notice."
