war but missed their target, a |
U.S. military spokesman said |
today.
The spokesman said a flight I
of three Russian-designed MIG
17s shot a pair of heat-seeking |
air-to-air missiles similar to the
American Sidewinder Tuesday
at Air Force planes protecting
a pilot shot down in North Viet
Nam 105 miles northwest of
Hanoi.
The missiles missed and the
MIGs fled, he said, and an Air
Force helicopter recovered
Capt. Martin A. Mahrt, 32, of
Custer, S. D„ in the longest
successful rescue mission of the
war.
Before Tuesday’s attack, the
MIGs relied strictly on 20mm
cannons the few times they
ventured out to challenge
attacking U.S. fighter planes,
Mai Pass which is the gateway
to the main Communist supply
route into South Viet Nam.
Previously most SAM missile
sites were in the industrial area
around Hanoi.
A spokesman said two SAMs
were launched at a reconnais
sance flight of U.S. Air Force
Phantom jets Tuesday as they
streaked by at more than 1,500
miles per hour. The missiles
missed.
The beefed-up Communist air
defenses brought down two Air
Force F105s during Tuesday’s
wide-ranging raids against the
North, the spokesman said. One
was piloted by Capt. Mahrt, but
no parachute was seen from
the other crash and the pilot
was believed killed.
In the ground war, U.S. 1st
Air Cavalrymen, led by a
young gunner who charged
through Communist machine
gun fire to get to his gun
the spokesman said.
U.S. pilots also reported for
the first time that the
Communists are using surface

(SAMs) to protect the vital Gu
Chrysler Production
Cut As Stocks
By WILLIAM B. MEAD
United Press International
DETROIT (UPI) —To car
conscious Detroit, the Wall
Street reaction to disclosure of
a slight spring cutback in auto
production made little sense.
Tuesday’s stock rally thickened
the fog.
The market bounded us on an
announcement from Chrysler
Corp., that was cutting 4,700
cars from June production
schedules but would still set a
company record for June
output.
Chrysler’s June cutback will
Involve closing assembly plants
at Newark, Del., and Los
Angeles for four days starting
May 31, laying off about 6,000
workers.
From here the news from
Chrysler was about the same
as that from General Motors
Corp., late last week and Ford
Motor Co., Monday. But the
GM and Ford cutback disclo
sures were blamed lor sharp
declines in stock prices.
Industry observers were vir
tually unanimous In evaluating
the cutbacks as little more than
a bruise in a proud industry’s
vanity.
Their total effect will be to
cut about 160,000 cars from
earlier May through July
production schedules which
were pegged during the rosy
glow of January, February and
March when car sales were
booming at a fantastic annual
rate of 10 million a year.
All Indications now point to
total 1966 model year sales of a
little more than 9 million cars,
down only slightly from the
record 9.3 million of the 1965
model year.
April sales were down a
little, prodding the car makers
back to earth and forcing the
schedule cutbacks. But car
sales during the last 10 days of
April set an all-time record,
dampening speculation that the
car sfety controversy was
BORDER WAR
JERUSALEM, Israel (U P I)
— Two Israelis were killed
Tuesday In a gun battle
between Israeli and Jordanian
troops on the eastern Negev
border.
Israel blamed Jordan for
starting the shooting and
Jordan blamed Israel. There
were no reports of Jordanian
casualties.
MYSTERY DEATH
WICHITA FALLS, Tex.
(UPI) —Donny Ray Ellis, 21, of
Wichita Falls, was found dead
atop an electric pole in the
middle of a pasture two miles
from the nearest road Tuesday.
No one knew how he got to the
pole or why.
He had been fatally shocked
and his body was badly burned
by the electric power.
