The air force said one of its missile-firing F - 4C Phantoms brosght down a Communist MiG-17 over North Vict Nam 20 to 25 miles south of the Chinese border. A U.S. ¢yokesman indi- cated the Americans think the plane was North Vietnamese, not Chinese. China's first acknowledgment of any plane losses in the Viet- namese war placed lhursday's air battle northeast of Makwan, 25 miles north of the border, in China's Yunnan province. It called the incident 'an act of war provocation" and said "the debt in blood owed by U.S. im- perialism to the Chinese people must be cleared." An American spokesman said the aerial battle took place 105 to 115 miles northwest of Hanoi over the Red River Valley when three MiGs made firing passes with their cannon at two of three Phantoms. Maj. Wilbur R. Dudley, 4, of Alamogordo, N.M., spotted a fourth MiG attacking an air force RB-66 electronic jamming plane accompanying the flight, and fired two heat-seeking side- | winder missiles. if the federal government com-| Mr. Stewart told reporters he could give no hint of premium rates, although his department does have some working fig- ures. In his prepared statement to the legislature, he said: "Premium rates for each crop to be insured will be determined from available statistics on ac- tual yields by county. ...A farmer will not be compelled to insure all crops grown on his farm. He may decide to insure one particular crop and this will be quite permissible under the proposed policy." A provincial crop insurance commission gvill be established to operate the plan, but private insurance agents will be largely used by the province. Speaking to reporters, the agriculture minister said he is confident permissive federal legislation will be amended to provide for the operation of the Ontario scheme eas contemp- lated in the province's own leg- islation. The federal Crop Insurance Act fails to provide for cover- age of forage crops such as corn, hay and pasture, nor does it allow for spot-loss coverage of individual crops, he said. As well, the federal legisla- tion permits only 60 per cent of production to be covered by insurance. Ontario wants this raised to 80 per cent. HAS ASSURANCE Mr. Stewart said he was as- sured by the former agriculture minister, Harry Hays, and his successor, J. J. Greene, that the It was the 12th MiG reported shot down in the war. The spokesman said the American pilots did not see the markings on the enemy jets. North Vietnamese and Chi- nese aircraft markings are strikingly similar and would be difficult to distinguish at the supersonic speeds involved. Maj. - Gen. Gilbert Meyers, deputy U.S. Air Force com- mander in Viet Nam, cast doubt on speculation that the Chinese had committed their planes to the war. He told reporters: "'We have no evidence that the Chi- nese have come in.' Meyers also said it was "'ine conceivable" that the Phans toms could have strayed inte China Thursday. He said they were with an RB-66 which cars ries a highly experienced navi- gator and advanced radar and electronic gear.

Hartke, who fought the con- gressional bill all the way then, said in a speech there has been a loss of jobs to Canada and an outright error has been made in a recent decision to provide aid to workers who claim to have been adversely affected by the pact with Can- ada, The agreement eliminates tar- iffs between Canada and the United States--for manufactur- ers but not consumers--on new vehicles and their original parts. The decision. assailed . by Hartke was made by the secre- taries of labor, commerce and the treasury on the basis of in- formation supplied by the U.S. Under that decision, about 200 employees of a Ford Motor Co, shipping depot at Pennsauken, N.J., were granted federal ad- justment assistance, as -pro- vided for under the agreement. Canada has similar hardship regulations, The workers said their part of the plant's function had been transferred to Canada. But Hartke said: 'Evidence clearly indicates that the U.S.-Canadg automobile agreement had ab- solutely nothing to do with the unfortunate plight of those workers. Federal assistance is contrary to the terms of the statute and violates the intent of Congress." The senator said Ford made a private decision to shift to Tillsonburg, Ont., and he also declared the agreement has "substantially lessened our fa- vorable balance - of-payments situation with regards to Can- tariff commission. ada." Une. eA NEW S HIGHLIGHTS ------ necessary amendments will be made to the federal act. Without these amendments, he said, the provincial legisla- tion would be of little use and would not be put into effect even if passed by the legisla- ure.
