Ito underscore several points.
Secretary Dulles went out
Iof his way, in the note to
Moscow, to say that one Ameri-
can balloon, launched from Cal
lifornia, floated across North
America, the Atlantic Ocean and
the Eurasian continent into the
western Pacific where its course
was picked up by United States
monitoring stations.
Pictures Called Accident
Mr.. Dulles could have told the
Russians that this was not the
only camera-equipped American
balloon to cross their country
Iunmolested. The Russians know
they didn't capture" all the
balloons.
Mr.. Dulles remarked at his
weekly news conference that If
the balloon cameras happened to
take pictures of ground install
Ilations when there we're no clouds
Ito be photographed. that would
be quite accidental"
The Quarles statement was de.
signed as a reply to Soviet pro.
tests that the American balloon!
have been used for espionage
purposes. It indicated that thu
State Department had decided
to turn the balloon problem bach
to the Air Force. Mr.. Dulles de-
lpartment had insisted on acting
as spokesman on the subject dur.

Eisenhower's aerial inspection
proposal.
Confers With Robertson
Before comforting with Mr.
Dulles, Mr.. Quarles had a long
conference with Reuben Robert

Quarles said:
"Since Soviet and satellite
countries have filed protests re-

being made by them to confuse
these meteorological balloons
