US Traces MIG Origin Likely North Korean Attack
Secretary of Defense Neil H. McElroy said the MIGs that attacked a U S patrol plane near the Sea of Japan were almost certainly North Korean based on their direction of approach. He noted attackers could also be Soviet or Chinese, but the weapon sign and trajectory pointed to North Korea. The wounded tail gunner and disarmed aircraft indicate a peaceful mission by the U S plane was interrupted by hostile jets. A crew photo is being sent to Washington for identification.

Living Costs Hit New High in May at 124 Percent Base
Washington reports living costs reached a new peak in May with the Labor Department index at 124 percent of the 1947-49 base. Small price rises across most consumer goods drove the gain, while spendable earnings of factory workers also set records. The May index shows limited movement over a year and hints at further increases if food costs rise. About 100,000 aircraft workers will gain a penny an hour under their semi annual cost of living adjustments.
