General Offers
Big Reward For.
Red Built Jet
TOKYO (IP) Gen. Mark
W. Clark tonight offered
SIOO,OOO to first Com
munist pilot who will deliver
a Russian-built MIG-15 jet
fighter to the United Nations
in Korea.
The dramatic offer, applying
also to “other Russia-built jet
combat types,” had a double -
barreled purpose’.
1. To wreck morale among Com
munist fighter pilots.
2. To obtain a late-model MIG
for technical study.
The offer, was made In radio 1
broadcasts ' beamed to North
Korea and Red China and in leaf
lets dropped in northwest- Korea,
mainly in “MIG Alley” near the
Yalu River border with Man
churia. *
It offered *50,000 per MIG, with
a bonus of *50,000 for the first
pilot who accepts. Pilots were
promised political refuge, with as
sistance In going to any country
they might desire.
The offer was made In the name
of Gen. Marie W. Clark, Supreme
U. N. commander and commander
of U. S. Far East forces. It gave
detailed instructions as to how
pilots might safely reach Allied
bases in South Korea.
Presumably It Would apply to
Russian MIG pilots based in the
Sakhalin and Kurile Islands north
of Japan as well as,to North Ko
rean or Chinese pilots In Korean
combat. >
In announcing .the unorthodox
scheme, Clark’s headquarters said
enemy pilots probably would have
to begin keeping an eye on each
other as well as fighting U. N.
planes. ]
‘(The enemy,” the announcement 1
said, “has found it necessary to ,
send out patrols to watch other 1
ground reconnaissance patrols to
kegflf Individuals from Surrender- i

today on four points con
cerning the repatriation of

but there was growing hope
a compromise may be shap

The points of disagreement were:,'
1. Which neutral country shall
-take charge of Communist pris

2. Whether these prisoners shall •
remain in Korea.
3. How long the prisoners shall’
remain in custody.
4. What is to happen, in the
end, to those who refuse repatri
ation under any circumstances.
But it was believed in some
quarters that a compromise was
possible under which the U. N.
would accept a Communist proposal -
to make India the neutral custodian* :
of anti-repatriate prisoners and the
Communists would agree that she
prisoners be kept in Korea until- ■
their status has been determined 11
