u. 5. Says Reds
Attacked Plane
Over Open Sea
Complaint to U. N.
Denies Violation of
Siberian Frontier
By John N. Hiehtower
Assoeioted Press stoff Write,

The United States charged yes
terday that a missing Navy Nep-
tune bomber was attacked with
out warning" by Soviet fighter
planes over the free international
waters of the Sea of Japan on
November 6. The plane with 10
men aboard Is presumed to have
been shot down.
In making this formal accusa-
tion in report to the United
Nations. the United States re-
jected as untrue. a Russian COM
plant that the American aircraft
had violated the Soviet state
frontier" before it was approached
by two Russian fighter planes.
The Russians also alleged that
the American plane opened fire
first.
In the conflicting versions Of
the affair made public yesterday.
about the only thing the United
States and Russia agreed on was
that apparently the incident had
occurred in the general vicinity
OF Cape Ostrovnaya, about 80
miles east Of the big Soviet
Siberian port city of Vladivostok
and across the Sea of Japan from
the northern japanese island.
Report Made to U. N.
State Department officials said
that there was supporting evil
Idence for the American assertion
that the plane was attacked over
the open sea without having in
any way violated Russian terri
tory. But they refused to say what
this evidence was on the ground
that it was information CLASH
fed secret by the Defense De-
Ipartment. There was some specu-
lation. however. that the planes
position at the time of the attack
had been tracked by radar, either
land of sea based.
The official United States re-
port on the incident was made not
to the Soviet government at
Moscow, which had filed on No
vember 7 a protest against the
alleged border violation, but to the
United Nations Secretary General.
Trygve Lie, at the U. N. General
Assembly meeting in Paris.
| The State Department explain
ed that this was the proper pro-
cedure because the plane was OPP
Grating as part of Gen. Matthew
tB. Ridgway's U. N. Korean COM
mand. The United States has al
ready refused because of this fact
to accept the Russian protest note
on any basis other than as a
matter of information.
Officials said no formal reply
will be made to the Russian
charge. How or whether claims
may be made against the Spviets
because of the loss of the two
engine bomber and presumably
the lives of its 10 crewmen is a
question which the State Depart
ment professed to be unable to
answer yesterday.

clash was set forth in Russia's No

By the Asxocjcted Press

ROME, Nov. 24.-Allied foreign
ministers apparently have decided
against switching troops from the
Far East to the West even if a
Korean armistice is signed. diplo-
matte sources said tonight.
These informants reported the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion's council of ministers seems
to have agreed" there is no chance
of moving the Korean based for
ces to Europe in the absence of a
general settlement in Asia, with
Red China and Russia.
The II NATO foreign ministers
studied potential f1ashpoints of the
international situation today. In
formants said they concluded a
global war will be avoided, at least
in the immediate future.
Acheson Reports on Korea.
They met in this first session
Of the eighth conference of the
NATO council in the Foro Italico
once known as the Mussolini
Forum in suburban Rome.
The council heard reports from ::
Secretary of State Dean Ache
son on the prospects of a Korean
armistice.
French Foreign Minister Robert
Schuman on the war against the
Communicated national revolu-
ton movement in Indo-C China.
British Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden on the turmoil in the
Middle East. which is occupying
nearly $4,000 British troops.
The ministers were said to have
given consideration to the pos
sibility that. if a truce is signed,
the Chinese Reds themselves might
shift some of their armies from
Korea to the Indo- Chinese front.
Other Issues Come Up.
Soviet diplomatic pressure on
Norway; the East-West struggle
for Germany: the Cominform
campaign against black sheep"
Yugoslavia; Britain's fostering
quarrels with Egypt and Iran; the
prospects of peace-or further
war-in Korea; these were some
of the issues which drew minister
ial attention.

nilsson on Redistricting. The
three are now one district.
In addition, Alexandria and
Fairfax representation in the
House would be increased to two
delegates each. Arlington. with
the addition of Falls Church to its
district, would be allowed third
delegate.
Also included in the recon-
mendations is a proposal to re-
move Arlington and Fairfax
Counties and the cities of Falls
Church and Alexandria from the
9th Congressional district to form
"a new 10th district.
Under this plan, the 9th District
would get Fredericksburg and
SpotSylvania County from the Isl
District and Williamsburg plus the
counties of Charles City, James
City and New Kent from the 3rd
District.
Changes Are Extensive.
The recommendations, which
would alter the makeup of about
half the lis House and Senate
districts of the Virginia General
Assembly. were aimed principally
at equalization of representation
in the Legislature.
Population growth and shifts
as shown in the 1850 census, posed
the problem for the commission.
Based on Virginias total popu-
lation of 3,318,630-as shown in
the 1850 census-the ideal popu-
lation for each of the 40 State
Senators would be $4,000. BY the
same yardstick. each of the 100
House members would represent
$4,000 people.

The proposed Senate districts
varied between 1876, ,449 for Arling-
ton 10 59,425 for the Carroll Floyd
Grayson district. The House dis
tricts between 49,278 for Fairfax
and PLAT for Loudoun.
In the suggested shuttle, the
city of Portsmouth would be split
off from Norfolk County and
South Norfolk and be given a
Senator of its own with Norfolk
County and Norfolk to retain the
present seat.

GERS met at Panmunjom to iron
out minor mapping differences in

differences in the west.
Half Of Fine Agreed On.
Once during Saturdays session,
Red claims of hill in the east
promoted an Allied telephone call
to the front. Americans on the
hill were.reported highly insult
ed" by the Red claim.
Other Red claims of positions
behind Allied outposts brought an
offer by the Allies to fly them
over the positions to look. The
Reds said no.
There was near agreement on
the eastern half of the 145-mile
front, an Allied spokesman said.
Until the line is fixed there can
be no further progress on an Al
lied proposal aimed at completing
the full signing of an armistice
within 80 days. The 80 days must
date from the time the full truce
committees approve the cease
fire line.
Holiday Truce Doubted.
An armistice by Christmas thus
seemed unlikely.
In the truce discussions. the
two sides have accepted the Zine

talks.
There are often big differences
in the contact lines. Allied infan-
trymen may move out across a
wide no-man's-land valley. FL
nally. as they near the base Of a

the point of contact-where the

That would be the place indicated
