BALTIC SEA INCIDENT I5
 FRAME UP
That Is What Moscow Weekly Says" "lnief-
 national Revocation

MOSCOW. April 19 = R = The authoritative Soviet weekly New Times charged today that the Baltic Sea plane incident was deliberately prepared by the United States as an international provocation.
 The weekly. which comments on foreign policy matters. charged that the United States has rescue planes waiting in Denmark even before the US. plane involved in the in- cident had taken off from Wies- baden April 8. Thus. it said, it was previously prepared provocation."
 (The United States directed g sharp note to Moscow yesterday charging that Soviet fighter planes fired on an unarmed US. Navy Privateer over the open Baltic sea and thus violated international law. The US. note demanded punish ment for those responsible and pay ment of indemnity for the 10 Americans who apparently lost their lives in the incident)
 New Times said the incident was plain intentional provocation." md described it as training in the fabric of international incidents"
 The article contended that the Americans themselves had dis proved their claim that the US. plane could not have crossed the Soviet border. This was demon- strated, 1t said. by the sending Of the largest group of American, search planes to the Soviet shores of the Baltic.
 New Times added that many air. men laughed at the idea thct the plane might have gone $50 miles off it's course through a navigation mistake.
 If the AznssieaA plaue hn4 nesn in distress. the weekly said. 1t would have welcomed the Soviet invita- ton to land. Instead, 1t said, 1t fired on the Soviet planes.

DECORATION VOTED LOST
 PLANE CREW

WASHINGTON, April 19-tA- The Senate today voted decora- tions to the 10 men lost in the Baltic plane incident.
 The action was taken without dissent on the motion of Deryo- cratic Leader Lucas of Illinois who called the loss of the U. s. Navy plane and its crew "a ruthless action by barbarous forces"
 It followed a furry of angry criticism of Russia on the Senate floor and sharp retort at the State Department to Russian claim that the American rlane was lost in a mission of deliberte pro- vocation against the Soviet Union.
 In statement released with the note, the department said the Russians apparently had decorated the Red aviators responsible for the attack
 The Senate resolution to award decorations to the Ameflcan luerS now goes to the House.
 The latest Russian attack on the United States in connection with the incident appeared in the auth oritative Soviet magazine New Times. It reported to give details of elaborate plans made by the American Armed Services for the alleged provocative action. State Department Press Officer Michael McDermott was asked about the New Times article at a news conference.
 T read it. McDermott said. I've pretty much forgotten what lies they told. News stories are being cafried of the article and the American people of course are not deprived of reading such things. They can make their own judg- ment of it"
 McDermott said that the maga- zine article is beyond contempt"

"Thaw" Strikes Again As Board Released $165,000;
 vefs Given Largest Share

The Board of Administration late yesterday granted total of S165,00O to three Territorial agencies, s65,00O of which came from funds frozen last June and the remainder granted through technicality in the law previously overlooked.
 The Alaska Veterans Affairs Com mission was given $100,000 actually due them prior to the effectiveness of the freeze" order, signed June p. The commission was appropri- ated S1,200,0OO by the 18th Legis- lature, to be given the body at the rate of s50,00O monthly, beginning May 1. 1949.
 This specification was in the fine print" of the law, and when the board was forced to freeze all special appropriations last summer because of lack of funds, the com mission, like numerous other agen- cies, was left out in the cold.
 Floyd Guertin, VA commissioner had been pleading with the board to grant his commission a sum to apply on applications pending from vet erans throughout the Territory. He had been turned down until the meet yesterday.
 Guertin discovered, in reading the law over carefully, that this money was to begin rolling into his de- partment May 1, 1949, and each month thereafter. This meant the Territory owed him for two months, or $100,000. He put this matter be- fore board members several weeks ago.
 The sum will be granted him effective May Is. he was notified He has some $87,000 in approved
 loans already in hand, which vii be covered by this amount, with other applications held up because of no money to process them. He expects applications will go over the remaining $13,O0O by the time the money becomes available. Other monies made available was $60,000 for purchase of a site from the City of Juneau for a site for the proposed Territorial Building, and | $5 ,000 for the National Guard. The remaining $600,000 appropri- ated by the legislature for erecting the structure will not be needed for perhaps year or more. It was believed by board members that fi- nances will be in good enough shape then to release the total amount. The National Guards money will take care of administrative, field expense and other items for the next several months. The Guard was granted a total of $75,O00, ot which they have received around $2O,000 by slow "thawing." If this money were not unfrozen
 federal grants to the agency. amounting to many times that given by the Territory, would be with drawn.
 Acting Governor Lew M. William. said the sum given the VA commis. sion was with the understanding they would receive no more unti, the next legislature. convenes, be- cause the financial picture jus isn't good enough yet"
