Soviet Rejects
Note on Plane

MOSCOW. July 20 R.-Thc
Soviet government today re-
jected a United States note
protesting the downing Of an
American military plane over
Soviet Armenia June 81.
The Soviets declared the pro-
test unfounded and inappro-
pirate and charged the United
States Government with STA
grantly distorting the facts" in
an attempt to evoke hostile
feelings in the United States
against the Soviet people"
The Soviet reply brushed
aside the American demand
that the Soviet fighter pilots
be punished for forcing down
the plane. which became lost
in a storm. Instead. the So
viets said. the United States
should punish severely the
persons responsible for the vio-
lation" of Soviet air space.
The nine men aboard the
American plane have been re-
turned by the Russians.
