Harsch frankly recognizes that
available information is evidence
that the missing American plane
was concerned with an intelligence
mission concerning the U. S. S. r. S
defenses.
It said Mr.. Harsch was of the
opinion the United States wants
to know what is taking place at
Russian naval bases, especially in
the Baltic.
In Washington, the State
Department refused to COM
ment on Pravda's treatment of
the storyD
Pravda said Mr.. Harsch's story
was a denial of the official Ameri-
can version that the missing plane
was on an ordinary flight and
recognized that the plane tried to
obtain Soviet military secrets.
1t also said the Monitor recog-
nizes the possibility American
planes may try to repeat such pro-
vocative intelligence flights.
Mr.. Stanford was quoted as say
ing existing information indicates
the American plane was on an
eSnionape mission
All Moscow papers also pub
lished the text of the note handed
to American Ambassador Alan
Kirk by Foreign Minister Vishin-
sky which rejected American de-
mands for indemnity and de-
clared the plane which fought
with Russian planes was a B-29
and not a Navy Privateer.
Mr.. Harsch said in a Washing
ton dispatch to the Monitor:
I'VE and the Russians are re-
connoitering each others coast
lines; have been doing so for quite
while; undoubtedly will continue
to do SO into the indefinite future.
We are particularly inter-
ested in the Baltic Coast for sew
eral reasons. We want to test the
effectiveness of the Russian radar
net. We want information on any
Russian naval activity in Baltic
waters. %. The reasons we have
for being interested in Russian
military activities in the Baltic
area are presumptive evidence
that the American Navy Privateer
which disappeared in the Baltic
was engaged in reconnaissance
work of some sort. Government
officials neither confirm nor deny
that this is the case"
Reconnaissance Hint Seen.
Mr.. Stanford wrote:
THE United States Navy Pri-
vateer missing over the Baltic
could have been on reconnais-
sance mission. That it was
on reconnaissance work is
strongly suggested by the follow
ing known information:
81. The plane carried an un-
usually large crew of 10 men, in
cluding experts in electronics.

has accused Russian fighter
planes of shooting down the un-
armed Privateer. with a crew of
10, and has demanded damages
from the q. S. S. r. The Soviet
government rejected the Ameri-
can note. claiming Russian craft
had fired on an American B-29
Superfortress which had flown
across the border of Latvia. which
Russia occupies.
Dagens Nyheter carried a brief
interview with state police officer
Ark Edstrom, who said he had
picked up the second raft from
customs officials at Vendbyrg Port
Thursday night.
In addition to q large hole in
the middle of the raft, apparently
caused by fire, the policeman said
he had noted several other holes
of a type which caused him to
remark the raft appeared to
have been hit by bullets"
''Many Small Riffs"
Earlier the official Swedish news
agency T. T. had quoted Fred
Nordgren, captain of Swedish
fishing vessel which picked up the
second raft, also as having said
the center hole appeared to have
been caused by fire and adding:
There was also a large number
of small riffs, most of them rec
tangular and about one by two
inches big"
Nordgren said he had found
the raft SO miles southeast of
Hoburgen, at the southern tip
of Gotland.
THE hose to the oxygen con-
tainer was almost cut off, ap-
parently by fire." Nordgren said.
Had Device for Mast.
The raft was equipped with a
rigging device for a mast or
antenna. a2
After remaining half an hour
on the spot and searching for
other objects, Nordgren took his
ship to the nearest port to report
his findings.
The news agency also reported
that green cushion with English
lettering, probably from the seat
or back of an airplane chair"
had been picked up in the Baltic
between Poland and Gotland by
another Swedish fisherman Tues
day. ......

Proposal by Bidault
For Atlantic Council
Gains Interest Here
BY the Asseeiossd Press

The State Department mas eN-
pressed great interest in a pro-
posal by French Premier Georges
Bidault TO create a high council"
among the Atlantic Powers.
A message to American Ambas-
sador David Bruce in Paris for
relay to the French leader offered
Mr.. Bidault encouragement and
supported his general detectives
of Western cooperation. it was
learned yesterday.
While the message requested
more information. 1t refrained
from actually indorsing the high
council idea.
Acheson Hopeful.
The United States reaction to
Mr.. Bidault's proposal. made in a
speech at Lyon. France. last Sun
day, came after a week of dis
cussion inside the State Depart
ment. 1t reflected Secretary Ache
sons hope that the London diplo-
matte conferences two weeks hence
will greatly strengthen Western
unity in the cold war.
The State Department was eau
tiously encouraging in its reaction
to the Bidault proposal. One rea-
son for the caution is that Mr.
AcheSon hopes to avoid prolonged
arguments over questions of diplo-
matte machinery at London next
month. Another is that officials
here are uncertain just what MIR
Bidault has in mind.
The French premier said the Il
Atlantic Treaty nations ought tC
create an Atlantic high council
for peace" to coordinate all their
major policies-strategic, econom-
ic and political.
Powers Now Limited.
One question which arose was
whether Mr.. Bidault had in mind
an actual new agency or new and
broadened uses of the North At
lantic Council - which probably
more closely approximates MIR.
Acheson's present thinking. The
present MAC has limited powers
but it has the advantage of being
already in existence.
State Department. officials point
out the council has authority to
consider political and economic
problems of the North Atlantic
area, although so far it has no
machinery to deal with them.
During its first year all emphasis
has been placed. on the develop
,ment of committee machinery for
devising Atlantic area defense
plans.

Wallace Hopes Loss
OF Baltic Plane Won't
Mean Trouble Later
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, April 22.-Henry
Wallace said today he hoped the
loss of American lives in the Baltic
plane episode will not mean trou-
Bile later on"
Recalling that the sinking Of
the battleship Maine presaged the
Spanish American War and the
loss Of the vessel Panay heralded
the American conflict with Japan
in World War II, the former Vice
President said of the lost Navy
plane:
"Our hearts go out to the sor-
rowful families of the boys who
lost their lives, but our deepest
concern now is with the 40 million
families in the U. S. A. whose lives
would be shaken in a thousand
ways if the Navy privateer plane
should prove to be the same kind
of precursor as the Maine and
the Panay."
The United States has charged
Russia shot down the plane. Rus
sia claims an American plane ven-
tured over Soviet territory, and
was fired upon after it opened
fire.
Praises Lies Appeal.
Mr.. Wallace, speaking over the
National BroadcaSting Co. net
work, praised an appeal by United
Nations Secretary General Trygve
Lie for continuous negotiations
between the great powers
He said the most significant
event of recent months" was Lies
announcement last week that he
plans conferences late this month
with top British and French gov
eminent leaders and will be avail
able in May "for consultation with
Moscow"
The Progressive Party's defeated
1948 presidential candidate said:
THE peace-loving people of the
United States hope and pray that,
Trygve Lie will talk to both Attlee
(Britain's prime minister) and
Stain about program which will
life fear from the hearts of the
British, the Russians and the
Americans.
THE first step is to get Stain
and Attlee to agree to preliminary
meetings with Truman to be fol-
lowed by Security Council meet
lngS :"
Submits Four Questions.
Mr.. Wallace called on "nonpar-
tisan groups" in all communities,
preferably led by ministers, to
submit four questions to congress
sional candidates. and to support
those who answered yes. These
are the questions:
81. Do you believe in con-
tinuous top-level negotiations be-
tween the great powers looking
toward an end of the Iron Curtain
between the East and West?
20. Do you believe in outlawing
the atom and hydrogen bombs by
declaring that the first nation to
drop such bomb would be the
enemy of all mankind?'
"3. Do you believe in an agree
ment between all nations to reduce
ornaments by 80 per cent, using
the money thus saved in a United
Nations revolving fund to loan :.
to develop overcrowded and un-
derdeveloped areas, regardless of
politics?
"A. Do you believe in four
power agreement to prevent the
rearmament of Germany and pro-
vide for real denazification and an
end to the cartel system?'"

the grateful attention of the Am
erican people and their Govern
ment. 1t deserves this grateful
attention because the history of
the library exemplifies the history
of our American institutions; it is
tangible evidence, not of endur-
ance only, but of the strength, the
and the capacity for
growth which our institutions
have demonstrated so well.
"a steadfast servant of the
Congress. the librarys treasures
of knowledge have been brought
to bear in the shaping of the
laws which govern the whole
people and have great influence
upon the world. With a spirit of
service the library has provided
resources of study for executive
agencies, and has thrown open it's
doors to scholars from every land,
thus aiding in generous measure
in the essential work of extend
ing the boundaries of knowledge
and new learning for the benefit
of the whole of mankind. A part
ner of all libraries of whatever
dimension and whatever kind. it

Pre- Historic Item Shown.
Neither the library's collec-
tions, which numerically may ex-
ceed the collections of other re-
positories. nor its services, which
some believe unparalleled, could
ever have been fashioned without
the power of the principle of free
inquiry and the support of that
principle by the people and the
Congress. Once a few wagons
transported the Library of Con-
gresS from Monticello to a burned
out Capitol. Remembering this I
am confident that the spirit of
Thomas Jefferson joins with me
in congratulating the American
people upon their library's sesqui-
centennial"
