it would be "up to him” whether
he would leave South Korea.

flew pictures taken at the con-
ference to Tokyo in a special jet
plane.
The pilot said his home was in
a village on the northeast oast
of North Korea.
He described an action in which
he flew against American Sabre
jets last March 22, over North
Korea. He said his formation of
18 MIGs was engaged by 70 to
80 Sabres at an altitude of about
30,000 feet. He said the Sabres
were flying above the MIGs and
his fellow MIG pilots at first
thought they were friendly MIGs.
But, all of a sudden, he related,

questions such as whether the
MIGs had radar gunsights.
However, he said that the MIGs
flown by Russians had radar
equipment while those flown by
the North Koreans did not.
He said he had planned his es-
cape for a long time, ever since
the day he joined the North Ko-
rean Air Force in 1950.
He said he did not make the
sensational escape for the $100,-
000 reward as he did not know
about the reward although he
was "glad” when he heard about
the prize.
The pilot told in narrative form

• FARMER’S FIRMNESS Guy Farmer, President Eisenhower’s
chairman of the National Labor Relations Board, has not had much
of a say in NLRB decisions so far. However, he is biding his time,
meanwhile making it clear he intends to be mighty tough—in more
ways than one.
Farmer and Philip Ray Rodgers, who recently joined the board, are
the only two Republicans on the five-man group. Two other members
are holdover Truman appointees. There is one vacancy, but that spot
was held until recently by a Democrat. Not until Mr. Eisenhower
fills the vacancy will NLRB become a Republican agency.
Until Rodgers joined him, Farmer had been a minority of one on
many board decisions most of them in favor of labor unions. In each
case, the chairman registered a vigorous dissent which showed that
the board will be quite strict in its interpretation of the Taft-Hartley
law when the Republicans gain control.

• STOLEN CARS—FBI Director J Edgar Hoover blames careless
motorists for many of the thousands of automobile thefts each year.
He points out that "by leaving the keys in their cars or leaving
their cars unlocked and unattended, motorists invite juveniles and
amateur 'thrill seekers’ to steal them.”
The law enforcement expert adds: "Fortunately, most of the cars
taken by these persons are recovered soon after they are stolen."
Hoover says hardened criminals who steal cars for use in com-
mitting their crimes account for another major portion of the autos
stolen each year. However, he says the greatest auto theft problem
confronting law enforcement agencies is that pre-

SEOUL, (Ah — A young North
Korean jet pilot who flew to free-
dom in a Russian-made MIG said
today the Communists have flown
jet fighters and propeller-driven
bombers into Korea since the ar-
mistice in violation of truce
terms.
The 22-year-old pilot, a senior
lieutenant in the North Korean
Air Force, told a news conference
he did not know the Allies had
offered $100,000 for a MIG when
he landed his swept-wing fighter
at a base near Seoul yesterday.
He said he fled from Commu-
nist Korea because “I did not
want to stay there." He voiced
hope that he could study in the
United States.
The smiling young pilot, clad in
U. S. Army fatigues, also told
newsmen:
