FRENCH AIRLINER FIRED AT
(Rec. 11 p.m.) LONDON, June 22. Air France announced today that its regular Prague-Paris Skymaster airliner, carrying 57 passengers, was rocked by a burst of anti-aircraft gunfire over the Czech-German frontier area.
The plane was undamaged and the passengers noticed nothing. An Air-France spokesman said it was believed the guns were those of United States units which were practising. The incident occurred while the plane was between Cheb, a west Czech frontier town, and Nuremberg.
The plane was flying through the international air corridor reserved for planes flying over Germany. It made a safe landing at Paris.

In New York, Miss Monroe said: “We are not sure when or where our marriage will take place.”—New York, June 22.
