American Government officials admit
ted today that an embarrassing dlpio-
matte situation is likely to arise u

members of the missing Italia ana
Prof. Samoilovich, head OF the rescue
expedition aboard the KraSSin.
They have not been advised officially
Of the proposed trip. the invitation hav-
inc been extended by the Russo Ameri-
can Chamber OF Commerce IN New
York. They indicated, however, that
since the United States has no diplo-
matte relations with Soviet Russia, none
of It's officials could with propriety, re-
ceive the dwo Russians should the pro-
motors of their trip contemplate such
a presentation. Even Government OFF,
Gals at New York, 1t was said. undoubt-
edly would refrain from taking part In
their reception. whether New York City
officials participated in 1t or not.
Reluctant to Discuss Russia.
The question of admitting the Rus
slams, should they make application,
comes AT Tune Ntlen the state de-
partment is decidedly reluctant 10 dis
cuSS Russian affairs. IN view of the
situation arising out of the war out
lawry pact, to which the Soviet gov
eminent is not party. Those close
TO the State Department regard the
Russo American Chamber of Commerce
and particularly It's president Reeve
Schley with suspicion They have
reasons to believe that Schley Is TAX
ing advantage of the popularity of the
two intrepid Russians to clear the way
for the spreading of political propa-
ganda favorable to the Soviet interests.
Should Chukhnovsky and Samoilovich
apply for passports to visit this coun-
try, they frankly admit the situation
would be embarrassing to the State De-
partment, no matter whether permission

Seen as Likely Wedge.
That the proposed visit of the two
Russians would be used by Soviet In
terests here as All entering wedge to
.orce the question OF Soviet recognition
also is a fear that is held by some
Government officials in Washington.
Before embarking upon their voyage
to the United States the Russians will
have to obtain visas of their Russian
passports from an American consular
officer Upon the American consul at
Riga probably would fall the RESPONSE
blity for such action
They also must satisfy the consul
that they do not come within the pro-
visions under which undesirable aliens

be successful in satisfying the consul
with their answers, they might be

Members Of Communist Party.
Therein lies problem which would
have to be put up squarely to Secre-
tary Kellogg. 1t Is understood here. AS
members of the Russian Flying Corps
both the pilot and head OF the rescue
expedition are undoubtedly members OF
the Communist party. AS such IL Is De
lieved they would be unacceptable even
as visitors to the United States Should
application be made to the American
consul at Riga In their behalf II was
said today that he probably would COM

tons and make report on his own M

affiliations of the two Russians Is NOT
known here, but it was learned that
inquiries have been started.

the United States recognizes the Mexi-

Entrance Denied Before.
The State Department would not be
without precedent In denying admis-
sion to the Russian flyers. About two
years ago distinguished citizen OF
Russia was refused admission as
temporary visitor" for political reasons
on the ground that he was prominent
in the Third Internationale. He had
sought to come here for the purpose
of promoting trade between the two
countries through trade groups In New
York known AS the Amtorg.
So far as State Department officials
would commit themselves on the case
of Chukhnovsky and Samoilovich II
was to state that it would be decided
solely on It's merits when they present
applications for passports.

down with six hits. Root. who started
the season In bad form, now has won
his last three games. After seeing his
