the Baltic.
United States officials said the
Navy plane was unarmed and that
Latvia lies more than 800 miles
east of its course. They expressed
the belief, however. that it might
have been the aircraft involved,
since no other United States
planes were flying over the Baltic
at that time. This belief also was
indicated in Soviet press reports
although the official Russian pro-
test said the American plane was
o B-29 type bomber.
A member of the Navy plane S
crew who did not make the flight
said the only weapon aboard the
craft was a As caliber service
pistol carried by the planes COM
mander.
Just Punishment, Reds Feel.
An Associated Press dispatch
from Moscow said it is becoming
clearer all the time that. if the
missing plane actually was shot
down, the Russians regard this
as a just punishment for what
they call a violation of interna-
tional law.
The official Russian news
agency Tass said the American
press was trying to play down
Russia's charge that an American
plane fired on Soviet fighters.
The Tass dispatch also said:
Reports that the lost aircraft
was supplied with reconnaissance
radar and with equipment for
aerial photography and that its
crew included three electronics

Suspicion Threatens
Freedom Of Nation,
BarkIey Declares
by the Associosed Press

Vice President Barkley yester-
day called on the country to be
on guard against threats to free
dom" from within and without
and said the greatest threat comes
from those who "sow rumors and
suspicion among u.s."
Speaking at the opening of the
Capitals 150th birthday celebra-
ton. Mr.. Barkley said the external
threat is formidable also. With
out naming Soviet Russia. he
said the country faces its most
powerful and aggressive foe"-the
counter revolution Of tyranny"
He accused this foe of having
a "gnawing lust for imperial power
which in its magnitude of scope
would have made Caesar pale and
Alexander tremble."
Sharpest Threat Is Internal.
But he added:
THE Sharpest threats to free
dom have come, up to now,
not from the outside, but from
within. And it is often precisely
when We are threatened with the
loss Of freedoms from the outside,
that we hear voices among us de-
manding that We cede away some
Of our freedom here at home in
order to protect ourselves from
the outside. And these same
forces which would abridge our
freedom. SOW rumors and sus-
picion among u.s."
Mr.. Barkley did not identify
the forces to which he referred.
Meantime, a Senate Subcom-
mittee prepared to resume this
week its inquiry into charges by
Senator Mccarthy, Republican, of
Wisconsin that the State Depart
ment is riddled with communism.
Budenz Asked for List.
Senator Ferguson, Republican,
of Michigan urged Louis Budenz,
one time managing editor of the
Daily Worker who has renounced
communism, to hand the COM
mittee privately a list of 400 hid
den Communists" he says are in
this country.
Senator Ferguson said Mr.. Bu-
denZ could give the information
to the Senate Foreign Relations
subcommittee when he appears
Thursday to testify in it's State
Department investigation.
Mr. Budenz told a Michigan au-
dience last Tuesday that he could
name that many concealed Com
munistS in this country, but II
can't afford libel suits" Senator
Ferguson noted that he would be
under subpoena and, therefore,
immune from libel action when he
goes before the committee.
Tydings Wants Names.
Mr.. Budenz has been called at
the request of Senator McCar-
thy who says Mr.. BudenZ can
support the Senator's charge that
Owen baltimore, Far Eastern au-
thority and occasional adviser to
the State Department, is or was a
Communist Party member.
Mr.. BudenZ said the Commu-
nists he could name are in or
ganizations that control public
opinion and policy. Senator Fer
guson said this indicates some
may be in the Government. and,
thus, the committee should be
interested in getting the names.
He is not member of the inves-
tigating group. y
Senator Tydings, Democrat, Of
Maryland, chairman of the SUBJ
committee, said they should have
from Mr.. Budenz the names of
any on his list who work in the
State Department. Senator Ty-
dings noted that the committee
is confined to investigating that
department.
The chairman also observed that
Mr.. Budenz said several years ago
he had given all his. Communist
information to the FBI. The
Senator added he supposed that
included the 400 names.

Outright Rejection
OF Russian Protest
On Plane indicated
BY the Asseeiofsd Press

The United States probably will
reply early this week to Russia's S
protest that an American B-29
airplane crossed the Soviet Baltic
Sea coast last Saturday and fired
on Russian fighter planes which
sought to force. it to land.
Indications yesterday were that
the Russian version of the alleged
incident will be rejected outright.
But State Department officials are
still working on the American re-
ply and the exact line to be taken
in the finished note remains to be
finally decided.
Among other questions, Secre-
tary of State Acheson and his top
advisers apparently still have to
determine whether evidence sup
piled by the Defense Departments
adds up to a conclusion that Rus
sian fighters actually shot down
an armed Navy patrol craft some
where over the international
waters in the Baltic Sea. :.
There is considerable specula-
ton among officials here that this
may have been what happened.
The Russian note said that Rus
sian fighter fired on the "B-29"
but claimed that it took this ac-
ton only after the American
plane opened fire" It added that
the "B-29" turned and disap-
peared.
AcheSOn Gets Report.
Mr.. Acheson received formal
report yesterday from the Defense
Department covering issues raised
by the Russian protest, made last
Tuesday. and also results of the
Baltic Sea search for the Navy
patrol plane which disappeared
last Saturday on flight from
Wiesbaden. Germany, to Copen-
hagen, Denmark.
In a rare Saturday work session
at his Office. Mr.. Acheson then
conferred with advisers on Rus
sian policy, headed by Llewellyn
Thompson. deputy assistant sec
retary OF State for European af-
fairs.
Michael McDermott, State De-
partment press officer, would say
only, I'VE are working on the Rus
sian matter and the investigation
is still on"
However, it was reliably under
stood that the Defense Depart
ment's account of events closely
paralleled information which Navy
and Air Force leaders here and in
Europe have made public.
Main Points Outlined.
This information, officials said,
provides the following main points
for the American reply:
/. According to Air Force chief,
Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg, there
was no American B-29 or any
other four-engine aircraft OF the
United States Air Force operat-
ing in the Baltic area last Sat-
urday.
2. A Navy "Privateer"-a four
engine patrol plane which might
possibly be mistaken for a B-29-
did disappear on Wiesbaden-Co-
penhagen flight and no trace OF
it has been found.
3. That plane, like all other
naval aircraft in that part of the
world was operating under stand
ing orders to stay clear of Rus
sian territory, including Russia's
territorial waters.
That plane also was unarmed
and therefore could not have fired
on Russian fighters even if it en-
countered them.
Unofficially at both the State
and Defense Departments there
Is q strong belief that if the
"Privateer" is in fact the "B-29"
the Soviets we're talking about in
their note it did not in fact fly
over Latvia but was attacked by
Russian fighters over the open sea.
