Twenty-si- x plete What's Behind Improved U.S. Ratio in the Air? By WARREN L. NELSON WASHINGTON (UPI) -Irecent weeks the United States has suddenly regained its total air mastery over Soviet-mad- e MIGs a mastery gained in the Society says. Geographic Carcasses of the giant reptiles floated downstream and ran aground on shallow sandbars. Buried under thousands of feet n of sediment deposited through the ages, the bones fossilized. The entombing sand became stone. A cliff containing bones of the prehistoric monsters forms a wall of the monument's visitor center. Travelers can see the fossils and watch workers uncovering new remains. Nearby, erosion has worn away the sedimentary rocks, exposing vital pages of the earth's history.

Now the picture has changed radically. After three relatively quiet years, Hanoi's air force in the past few months has reappeared in the skies to U.S. challenge the stepped-u- p bombing. In that time North Vietnam's MIGs have shot down only four F4 Phantoms and the Phantoms have bagged 24 MIGs, a 1 kill ratio.

"No doubt some bureaucrat buried in the anonymity of the servants millions of civil scattered about Washington will seek the stardom of Ralph Nader," the Tennessee Demo- crat wrote in his weekly newsletter.

"As long as they can operate like that they have an advantage," one Air Force officer said. "They know where we are; we never know where they are until they fire." To counter the built-i- n advantage for the MIGs, U.S. training has put increasing emphasis on team flying in which each pilot is responsible for watrhing snnthw- pilot's blind spot that area directly behind from which all planes are most vulnerable. - n Large Bank Names New President Blips Fill Screens Another reason for the greater kills, officials said, is that last week there were some massed air battles with large numbers of planes swirling about in the air.

In the Korean conflict American fighters tore through the Communist fighters, downing 795 MIGs while losing only 113 planes in dogfights, a 1 ratio. From 1965 to 1968, when the United States was bombing North Vietnam regularly, Hanoi periodically sent her MIGs to djalleiigt the new generation of U.S. fighters. The United States continued to win out most of the time, bagging 110 MIGs to Hanoi's score of 48 U.S. planes. However, that left the U.S. margin of superiority at little MIGs Must Fight Air Force officials said the main reason the ratio has improved is that the MIGs are no longer able to pick a- d choose their targets at leisure. U.S. planes are once again striking at their airfields and ground control radar sites, forcing the MIGs to come up and fight or watch their air force be destroyed on the ground. Officials said the MIGs in Vietnam are controlled by radarmen on the ground. The radar controllers watch then-owMIGs as well as the U.S. (UPI)-S- en. Edward M.
