What Akihito Missed in Paris,
He Saw More of at the Beach

de Trionphe, the Prince cas-
ually asked:
How are the revues in Paris
these days?'
81 thought Here it comes
After heSitating for a mo-
ment," the Ambassadors story
said. Il collected my thoughts
and answered:
Your highneSs, revues in
Paris enjoy worldwide fame
simply because there used to
be such outstanding stars as
Mistinguette, Maurice Chevalier
and Josephine Baker. These
people have grown old and today
there are no stars comparable
with them. The revue in Paris
does not appear to be what it
used to be-
After a minute or so of
silence, I added:
"'Your highneSs will be going
to Biarritz and Cannes. When
you visit those places please go
out to the beach. You will find
lots of women here and there
almost naked.
"'You will see more than you
will at revue. But, your high
ness, it would be advisable to
wear smoked glasses
"The Crown Prince did not go
to see the Paris revues."

Air Force UphoIds
Plane Attack Report
In Reply TO Flanders
by the Associated Press

Senator Flanders, Republican,
of Vermont says the Air Force
probably meant to influence pub
lie opinion in issuing what he
termed a false report" about
the mission of a United States
plane fired on by Soviet fighter
off Siberia.
Senator Flanders told the Sem
ate yesterday he had reliable
information that the American
bomber would not have flown
within 400 miles of Russian
Kamchatka if it was on routine
course.
Air Force Comments.
The Air Force said it had
nothing to add to its original
announcement except to en-
phasize the fact that at no time
was the RB-50 (the United
States plane) closer than Is
miles to Kamchatka, and was
not in air space claimed to be
under any national jurisdiction"
The White House, Secretary
of Defense Wilson and 1t. Gen.
Joseph H. Atkinson, commander
OF the Alaska Defense Com
mand, all declined comment.
An Air Force announcement
Tuesday said the Alaska based
craft was on "a routine weather
reconnaissance flight" when the
Soviet plane fired on it Is miles
east of the Siberian peninsula
of Kamchatka.
THAT reconnaissance bomber
was not just there on weather
business" Senator Flanders said.
1T may nevertheless have been
engaged on a useful mission.
Cites Probable Intent.
"Tne serious thing about this
incident is the false report given
to the American people by the
Air Force. It tended and prob
ably was intented to influence
public opinion by making the
third incident into an act of
aggression"
The Siberia incident followed
two other recent shootings by
Communist planes. botn in
Europe: In one, a fighter from
Czechoslovakia shot down a
United States fighter near the
West German border but the
pilot parachuted to safety. In
the other, a MIG downed an un-
armed British bomber near the

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,

Russia to prove recent Kremlin
"peace talk" by showing effec-

Nations toward disarmament.
Informed American source
said the United States delegation
here found no satisfaction in the
answer it got Thursday from
Russia's Valerian A. Zorin to the
initial challenge offered by Am
bassador Ernest A. Gross.
F Hopes for Reply.
Mr.. Gross said he certainly
would repeat the challenge
framed earlier this week after
high-level consultations in WASH
ington. He expressed hope Mr..
ZCrin would give some other re-
ply than the mere charge that
the American questions were
"slanderous" and artificial"
Both Mr.. Zorin and Mr.. Gross
were scheduled to speak today
in that order-in the windup de-
bate on disarmament in the CO.
nation Political Committee.
Committee President Joao
Carlos Muniz said he hoped the
special meeting would finish
work on disarmament SO the
body could go on next week
with other world problems on
it's agenda.
Czech Charge Next.
The next item to be taken
up is a charge by Czechoslovakia
that the United States, through
it Mutual Security Act, is send
ing spies into Communist terri
tory and interfering in the in
ternal affairs Of the eastern
countries.
The committee has two dis
armament resolutions before it
one submitted by IL Western
nations, including the United
States, and the other offered by
the Soviet Union. Debate thus
far has showed that neither
side will come to any compro-
mise terms in the voting.

President Of Hunter
Failed 10 Fight Reds,
Mccarthy Charges
By the Associofed Press

Senator Mccarthy, Republican,
Of Wisconsin wrote President
George N. Shuster of Hunter
College today that DR.. Shuster's
criticism of the Senator was
weakened by your failure to
join with millions of Americans
in fighting communism in our
great public education system" !"
DR.. Shuster suggested in a
speech here Thursday that uni
verSities might investigate Sen
ator Mccarthy, who is chairman
Of the Senate Investigations sub
committee, and report their find
ings TO the people.
DR.. Shuster said "the time has
come to ask on what meat this
our Caesar has fed, and to review
his activities with the utmost
objectivity, calm and chilly
resolution"
Faculty Member Dropped.
Senator Mccarthy, in a letter
made public by his Office, cited
the case of Mrs. Henrietta A.
Friedman, a member of the fac
ualty of the New York college,
who was dismissed last Deem
Der 81 by the New York City
Board of Higher Education after
refusing to answer questions of
the Senate Internal Security
subcommittee.
The Senator wrote DR.. Shuster
that Mrs. Friedman had been
named in testimony as a Com
muniSt Party member but that
you made no move to discharge
Mrs. Friedman and it took a
Senate investigation by the In
ternal Security subcommittee in
October, 1852, to force action
by the New York School Board.
Senator Mccarthy said he had
doubts that any teacher who
is a member of the Commu-
mist conspiracy should be al
lowed to destroy this same (aca-
demic) freedom" and added,
you apparently disagree"
He wrote DR.. Shuster that the
college president allowed How
ard Fast to speak at the COL
lege despite protests by honest
American organization and
newspapers of your city" Mr..
Fast. an author often accused
of Communist leanings, refused
on constitutional grounds to
answer questions as to whether
he belonged to the Communist
Party, Senator Mccarthy said,
after Mr.. Fast appeared at a
closed hearing of Senator Me-
Carthy's subcommittee February
13 in New York.
Links Others to Reds.
Senator Mccarthy continued
in his letter: There also have
been other professors on your
faculty with long record OF
association with the Communists
and their front organizations.
He concluded:
II will defend your right to
criticize me but I feel your fail
ure to join with millions o1
Americans in fighting commu-
nism in our great public educa-
ton system weakens your criti.
