U.S. Troops Save Outnumbered Pals
Seoul, Korea—U.P.)—American infantrymen battled through a ring of Chinese Communists today to rescue an outnumbered U.S. patrol that made a seven-hour stand in the winter's heaviest snowfall to break up a Red attack.
Snow fell all along the 155-mile front. It ranged from eight inches in the west to 14 inches in the east. In some sectors the snow changed to rain late in the day and turned supply routes into ouagmires.
The American patrol, outnumbered nearly three to one, pouced on a 100-man Chinese force when it spotted the Reds moving across the front and to attack a UN position south of Pyongyang on the central front.
The Communist troops, their attack plans upset, surrounded the small patrol and poured rifle, and machine gun fire on the Americans. Red mortars sent in shells from rear positions
The Americans dug in and fought back. Their commander radioed for reinforcements.
One body of troops from the main clled positions ran into the Communists surrounding the patrol and was itself cut off.
A second American force pushed into the fight and linked up with the first group of reinforcements. Together they fought their way through the Reds and reached the patrol.

Angered over Air Incident -
U.S. Rejects Red Claims
Washington — (J.F) — The United States today drafted an angry rejection of Communist Czechoslovakia's "fairy tale" claim that a pair of American jet fighters had penetrated Red territory before one was shot down in flames.
The stiff American reply was under preparation at the State department as some Congressmen suggested warning the Communists that "bullets, not notes" will answer any new cold war attacks on U.S. planes.
U. S. rejection of the Czech charges was based on the word of the pilots, supported by ground radar watchers, that they had not crossed the German-Czech border during a routine patrol flight. Informed sources said the attacking MIG-15 jet fighters close in on the two U.S. F-86 Thunder jets 12 to 15 miles over allied territory in Germany.
The U.S. reply, the second American protest, is expected to demand an apology for the "unprovoked and unjustified" attack, seek assurances

it will not be repeated, and build a case for demanding approximately $200,000 indemnity for the wrecked plane.
American Ambassador George Wadsworth, acting on State department orders, objected in "the strongest terms" to the Czech violation of the U.S. zone of Germany and the attack on the two U.S. jet fighters. The note was delivered to a night guard at the Czech foreign office at 3:20 a.m. Prague time (8:20 p.m., CST) yesterday.
other plane, piloted by Lt. Donald C. Smith, were under "constant" radar observation. The official said "radar plots definitely confirmed the facts that our aircraft did not violate the Czech border."
The fast action by the U.S. government apparently caught the Reds off guard. Their propaganda effort to shift responsibility to the United States followed many hours later.
An Air Force spokesman said the downed plane, flown by Lt. Warren G. Brown, who parachuted to safety with only minor injuries, and the
