AROUND THE WORLD US downs 2 migs
SAIGON —(UPI)— U.S. Air Force F105 Thunderchief pilots shot down two Communist MIG jets and crippled three others over North Viet Nam Wednesday in one of the war's greatest air battles, U.S. military spokesmen said today.
The pilots sighted 19 enemy planes in all.
Two American planes were shot down during the raids, but spokesmen said they were lost
to ground fire and not in encounters with the North Vietnamese iets.
The dogfights occurred in "Mig Alley" between Hanoi and the border of Communist China.
U. S. Marines supported by flame-throwing tanks, planes, artillery and offshore Naval guns meanwhile pushed North Vietnamese ground troops from a heavily-fortified village just outside the demilitarized zone and swept onward today.
WINTON. Australia—(UPI)—An Australian Viscount airliner, with an engine spouting flames, crashed on a sheep farm early today, killing all 24 persons aboard.

WEATHER WAS PERFECT, officials said.
Wreckage was scattered for about a half-mile, authorities reported.
Airliner crash kills 24 Australia's 2nd worst
The crash was Australia's first commercial aviation disaster since 1961.
