BERLIN, April 29 (U.R) — Two
Russian jet fighter planes shot up
an Air France air liner over the
Soviet occupation zone of Germany
Tuesday and wounded two passen-
ger. ■
The clothing of the plane's co-
pilot and steward was ripped by
missies lrom the guns of the two
MIG planes, of the type the Com-
munists are using in Korea, but
the men were not wounded.
Pilot Gilbert Schwallrfiger kept
the plane on its course and man-
aged to land it safely at Tempel-
hof commercial airport in the
United States sector of Berlin.
Riddled by Cannon
The plane was riddled by can-
non and machine gun fire. A gaso-
line tank, right wing, belly and
front of the DC-4 liner were rip-
ped. One hole in the . right wing
was one foot wide. In the fuselage
was a two-foot hole. An American
spokesman said it wa* a miracle
the plane did not explode,
Edwin Sippel, a Pun American
Truce Compromise
Thought Referred
For Decision
Airways pilot of Tulsa, Okla.,
counted 22 holes in the plane when
he inspected it.
The two wounded passengers
were a German woman, Mrs. Irm-
gard Nebel of Frankfurt, and a
German man, Walter Kurth of
Hamburg.
Mrs. Nebel was seriously wound-
ed in the stomach. Kurth was
wounded in the left arm and left
leg.
Attack Without Warning
Pilot Schwallinger said the Rus-
sian planes attacked without warn-
ing while he was flying on his reg-
ular run from Frankfurt to Berlin
at about 7,000 feet along an air
corridor approved by the Soviets,
in the Konnau area at a point 90
miles southwest of Berlin.
Schwallinger radioed Templehof
that he was under attack.
Schwallinger said he maneuver-
ed his big plane up into the clouds
as soon a she realized the Russians
were firing on him.
Only this, he said, enabled him
to save his plane and its 11 pas-
sengers and six crewmembers, in-
cluding himself.
opening up each time with ma-
chine gun and small cannon fire.
20-Millimeter Cannon
Experts esffmaod that the can-
non shells were of about 20-milli-
meter calibre, a little less than
one inch.
It took Schwallinger about half
an hour to get his plane to Tempel-
hof. Emergency crews with stretch-
ers were waiting. They took off
the two wounded.

Five crewmen were stranded

Cooler Weather Slows
Flood Waters In Utah
SALT LAKE CITY. April 29 (U.R)
Cooler weather slowed the melt-
ing of mountain snow Tuesday
and reduced the record-breaking
spring runoff which has flooded
wide areas of northern Utah.
Cloudy skies carried a threat of
heavy rain for the next few days,
but forecasters said thc cooler
weather would more than offset
the rain.
Heaviest property damage was
in Salt Lake Ctty itself, where 40
blocks on the sparsely-populated
west wide were covered with up to
six feet of water. About 50
families moved as crews battled to
keep the flood streams inside im-
provised street-top canals.
