British and Russians
ToMeet on Avoiding
More Air Incidents
ay the Assoeio.ed Press


BERLIN, Mar. 30.-The Brit
fish announced today that they
viii meet with the Russians in
East Germany tomorrow night
to discuss ways of preventing
such air incidents as the recent
shooting down of a British
bomber by Soviet fighters over
Germany.
The announcement said the
conference will be held at the
headquarters of the Soviet Con-
troll Commission at KarlshorSt.
Indicating that further talks
may follow, the British added
that "the location of the next
meeting may be in the British
sector of Berlin

Informed sources said the chief
British representative would be
Air Marshal Sir Robert Foster,
commander of the I'd Tactical
Air Force in Germany.
It is believed the, Russians will
be- represented by top officials
of the aviation department of
the Soviet Control Commission.
The meeting was proposed by
the Soviet commander in chief
in Germany, Gen. VASTLY I.
Chuikov, in rejecting a British
protest that the shooting March
13. was IAN unwarranted and
brutal act of aggression" Seven
British crewmen died in the RAF
Lincoln bomber, which Soviet
MIG-15 fighters blasted from the
sky over a Berlin-West Germany
air corridor across the Soviet
Zone of Germany.

The foreign Office said only
British and Russian representa-
tives will take part in tomorrow's
conference. It added, however,
that the British government will
keep in close touch with the
United States and French gov
ernments.
Soviet fighters shot down a
United States Thunderjet fighter
two days before the bomber in
cident, but the pilot bailed out
and escaped injury.
Observers regarded Moscow's
willingness to talk about air
safety over divided Germany as
another move in a new Red
peace offensive" It came as
the Chinese Communists in Ko-
rea accepted a United Nations
proposal to exchange sick and
wounded war prisoners. The
Kremlin also offered earlier this

Mr.. Hanson said it was diff

the Mccarthy agreement In

trips. He said he told the in
vestigators that out Of 40 Brit
ish ships the Mccarthy agree
ment would cut out II that are
under Greek operation.
OF the ships operated by the
Greek owners under the Greek
flag, the Mccarthy agreement
would not, cut out any shipping,
Mr.. Stassen and Mr.. Hanson
argued, because the Greek gov
ernment already had promul-
gated an embargo order which
will take effect II not vetoed by
the Greek Parliament.
In the clash of the headliners.
Senator Mccarthy demanded to
know when. Mr.. Stassen expects
to stop all trade between. the
British and Red China. The
Senator asked If the administra-
tor intended to seek similar
agreements covering other British
ships.
1--WE are certainly not going to
proceed in that manner" an
swered Mr.. Stassen. Mr.. Stassen
reminded the committee that it
is not the policy of this Govern
ment to stop all trade with
Soviet bloc countries. That
question is now under study by
the National Security Council,
he added.
Mr.. Flanagan brought out
that the United States in 1851
embargoed all shipping to Red
China on American flagships,
and that the Greek government
did the same thing on March
Il this year. 4
Mr.. Flanagan inquire d
whether there is a similar move
to get the British to apply an
embargo to Red China. - -.
Mr.. Stassen said there is, and
that progress is being made.
Mr.. Stassen finally admitted
that If the Mccarthy agree
ments stopped is British ships
trading with Red China, that
was a good move. But, again.
he insisted the conditions for
obtaining such an agreement are
important.
No Promise to Greeks.
Mr.. Flanagan said Senator
Mccarthy made it clear Satur-
day that no assurances were
given the Greek owners regard
ing further investigation.
Senator Mccarthy observed,
however. that if ships are taken
out of trade with Red China, he
would have little further inter-
est in them. X,
Almost overlooked in the ver-
bal fireworks was, Mr.. Stassen's
carefully prepared statement,
which summarized this country's
aims as follows:
To stop the flow Of strategic
exports to any part Of the Soviet
bloc; to specially restrict trade
with Red China while the Ko-
rean war goes on. and to try
to insure that Z, non-strategic
trade between the free world
and the Soviet bloc results in q
net advantage for the free ma
tions.
He said that in March the
free nations definitely had the
advantage in the strategic
trade which took place.
