"Really." he said, "I'd rather pet a MIO than be president. It's the greatest feeling in the world." His name was Capt. Houston Tule, of Tacoma, Wash.

Tule, with four other jet pilots, was telling how they shot down five enemy MIG-15's the day before. HARD WORK "It's a clean war for us, I guess," he said. "But we really work up there a lot harder than you know. You can tell by the sweat. Our wingman was wringing wet yesterday." Do jet pilots ever get scared during a battle? "No.

not once we get into them," Tule said. "Waiting around here in the briefing room, sometimes you get concerned. Or when you're up there flying (in MIG "A MIG a minute," he laughed. Farther to the east, Tule and Lt. Col.

Lewis A. Green, 33, of Lexington, N.C., got two more MIG's in 45 seconds. Both Green and Tule were jubilant as they confirmed each other's kills. "I saw Tule yelled at Green. "Did you see him?" At their base, the pilots celc- brated their victory singing songs about the MIG-15 and retelling! their stories.

"I must have told my story 1 times," Tule said. But by 10 p.m. the men were in bed, getting sleep for anothe day. They still remembered thi last man they lost in battle agains the MIG's. "A flight of MIG's noticed th Sabrejets when the order came fo us to break through," Baker said "He just didn't react fast enougl and a MIG got him.

Royalyn Baker, of McKinney, a jet ace with six MIG's to his credit.

"Our quota is one MIG a day. now we're only one day behind." The most damaging blow to the morale of these pilots is wherf they can't find enemy planes to fight or the MIG's escape across the Yalu River to their Manchur- lan sanctuary. "Dammit, they went back across the fence," one pilot radioed Baker on the day of the big battle. But later Baker spotted six MIG's underneath his flight. kay boys," he said.

The new musical work, a march based on the rhythms of the news room and the restless drive of the quest for news, was presented by the Cities Service Band of America on the weekly NBC radio program directed by Paul Lavalle. Lavalle, who composed the march at the request of Hugh Baillie, president of the United Press, announced it would be published as soon as possible to make it available to school and other bands.

He said he planned event ually to record it. BAILLIE INTRODUCED Following the broadcast, Lavalle introduced Baillie to the audience as a man whose leadership of a great news service had made "an impact and imprint on the people of the world" and. whose idea it was that the march be composed. In response Baillie said: "I thank you in the name of the working press of the free world, the newspaper reporters, and the radio reporters, whose tireless drive for the news is illustrated by this march, which brings out in music the characteristic sounds of the news room. "We are privileged to have heard the great march make its premiere tonight.

It will soon be known and heard all over the world and will be played at inaugurations, coronations, football games, at stirring events everywhere" in honor of the men and women in the press box." Congratuling Lavalle and the band, Baillie asked for an encore. The studio audience stood in prolonged applause after the encore, and Lavalle said it was one of the most enthusiastic receptions ever accorded the introduction of a number on his program. In describing the origin of the march to the studio audience prior to the broadcast, announcer Ford Bond said Lavalle had visited the United Press headquarters in New York and had been "inspired by the spirit he found there and the sounds he heard there." Bond's introduction of the new work on the air said that Lavalle had captured "the staccato beat of history" which comes from the teletypes and typewriters of the great news services. i leader, as Waring was named "Mr. Pennsylvania" at a dinner Monday in the Warwick Hotel, Philadelphia.
