Guns Unable to Fire Navy Plane Survives Air Attack
A U S Navy patrol plane forced to limp home after Communist MIG fighters raked it with 15 to 20 bursts of machinegun fire near North Korea. Two engines out, one crewman wounded, and two Air Force Sabres responded as the jet attackers disappeared. The wounded tail gunner Donald E. Corder received shrapnel injuries, later to be awarded the Purple Heart. The event prompted statements from Rear Adm. Withington and Adm. Burke about continuing patrols and commendations for the crew led by Lt Cmdr Donald R. Mayer.

Investigation Of Gun Failure Is Under Way
Two gun units on the Navy plane attacked by Communist jets were dismantled and a crew communication mix up caused failure to fire the third weapon. The incident over the Sea of Japan wounded one crewman. Pentagon officials cited a preliminary Burke order and said the forward turret was unusable for antisubmarine duty, with the top turret removed to offset extra reconnaissance equipment. Eisenhower and lawmakers demanded a full explanation and an immediate inquiry was begun by the Defense Department.

Soviet Union Delays Reply on Berlin Stopgap Plan
In Geneva, Andrei Gromyko received a 24 hour delay before replying to a Western Berlin stopgap plan aimed at a summit. The Western proposal includes German personnel manning check points on supply lines and limits nuclear arms in West Berlin, with ongoing talks possible if Gromyko engages. If he agrees, or even contemplates, a summit may follow. a rejection likely ends the conference and risks renewed trouble around West Berlin.
