night without taking any action
on an investigation into the
shooting down Of an. American
patrol bomber off Siberia by
Russian fighters September 4.
Henry Cabot Lodge. jr., chief

sia'S Andrea Y. Vishinsky engaged
in bitter exchange. Mr.. Vishin-
sky served notice. the. Soviet
Union would refuse to allow the

investigation into the plane in
cident, no matter what the
Council said about his right to
vote against an investigation.
Assails 'Peeping Planes"
The Soviet delegate also de-
MED Mr.. Lodges charge that his
country claimed the right to
shoot down planes over the open
sea. He said the Neptune
bomber. out on a weather patrol
when it was shot down, was over
Soviet territory. He added that
Russia will defend its territory
against any 'peeping planes" "
and that other countries also
have asserted they have the right
to shoot down planes over their
territory.
Mr.. Lodge argued to the Coun-
ell that the plane was over in
ternational ocean territory and
the nine other members accepted
his statement. Mr.. Lodge sug-
gested that the world court take
over adjudication Of the dispute
which he said was the latest of
q pattern of unprovoked attacks
on American planes since 1850.
Hope to Ease Tension.
Other speakers expressed the
hope that international tension
could be eased and that plane
or other frontier incidents would
be avoided.
But no one made any formal
move for action and Council
President Francisco Urrutia, Co
lombia, adjourned the Council
indefinitely after Mr.. Vishinsky
said he would vote against any
plan proposed in the Council.

The Nationalist Defense Min

to hammer artillery positions

have bombarded Quemoy and
nearby Little Quemoy.
A special communique said
planes yesterday destroyed seven

most pressing are those Of Ger
many and Austria"
The United States promised to
try to make progress on solving
specific problems. The United
States added:
ut hopes that the Soviet gov
eminent will contribute to such
progress by: (A) signing the
Austrian state treaty with the
Soviet text of the previously UNI
agreed articles-an offer made
at the Berlin conference by the
United States, United Kingdom,
France and Austria which the
United States Government is now
renewing; OBJ agreeing to free
elections on the basis proposed
by the United States Govern
ment at Berlin as the essential
first step toward German uni
fication in freedom.
IF progress could be made in
this way, the U. s. Government
would then be prepared to agree
to the convocation of a meeting
of the Foreign Ministers of the
United Kingdom, France, the
United States and the U. s. S. r.
to complete the action on these
problems and then to consider
the remaining aspects of Eu-

1.-THE association of the Ger

peace-loving states of Western
Europe in a defensive system
long after the rearming Of East
ern Germany, far from consti-
tuting threat to European Sc
curity, is intended to prevent
any nation from having inde-
pendent recourse to the threat
or use of force.
This is the best guarantee
for the security of all Germany's
neighbors, Of Germany herself
and of Europe asia whole.
Germany must be runited in
freedom at the earliest possible
moment and this can only
be achieved by holding free cleo
tons throughout Germany under
international supervision. y

By me Associated Press

Gen. Keiz0 Hayashi, chairman
|of the japanese Joint Stan
Council, said yesterday his

any outside attack.
The 48-year-old civilian ofii-i
cial, who was placed In charge
Of the island empires reviving
forces. met newsmen after 8
round OF calls on high United
States military officials.
Gen. Hayashi would not say
how large he thought the Japan
eSe army would have to be before
it could assume FIRST phase re-
sponsibility for defense. He also
RETAINED from making any but
general predictions as to rearm-
ing plans for more than the next
few months.
Six Divisions Planned.
Gen. Hayashi said the ground
forces now total 10000 and
are to be increased to 100 900
by next March. They are now
organized. he said. into four
divisions and one corps. but
will grow to six divisions and
one corps by the end of next
year.
The embryo Japanese Navy,
officially called maritime forces,
now has some 40 small ships

general said. The largest ships
now in commission are l8
frigates, but he said Japan ex-
poets soon TO get two destroyers
from the United States and has
crews in training for them. At

plane strength in jet fighters By
the end of the year.
The maritime force also is
acquiring some anti-submarine-
type planes, he said.

soon to be producing some of
its own jet aircraft, using some
existing and some new factories.
The Japanese military chief
said his country has no present
plans to construct any subma-
rineS or aircraft carriers; that
