TO CZECHOSLOVAKIA

Wiesbaden, Mar. 10.

The US Air Force announced tonight that two Soviet-made MIG-15s, flying from Czecho- slovakia, today shot down an American F-84 jet] fighter 15 miles inside the US zone of Germany. The United States ordered "the strongest possible protest" sent to Communist-ruled Czechoslovakia.

The Air Force said the Soviet-made jet fighters, of a type used in Korea by the Communist forces, made the attack in clear weather near Regensburg, Bavaria. The pilot, Lieutenant Warran Brown, baled out and escaped injuries as his plane crashed.

The MIGs appeared at 12,000 feet and made a firing pass at Brown's plane and another F-84 flown by One Lieutenant Donald C. Smith, the Air Force said. MIG made a hit on the wing tank and stabiliser of Brown's plane, causing it to crash-seconds after he bailed out.

The Soviet-made fighters disappeared, presumably in the direction of Czechoslovakia, and pilot Smith returned safely to base.
