16 Areas Discussed

Sixteen areas Of the United

roughly comparable Russian
areas. Washington has offered
to open any or all Of them to
travel by Russian nationals If
the Russian Counterpart zones
are opened to Americans.
Twenty-Five Russian and
American cities have been sim
ilarly paired.
Currently, about a third of
both the United States and the
Soviet Union is of limits to the
others nationals.
The State Department also
repeated its offer to lift all
American travel restrictions on
Russian nationals If the Krem-
lin will do the same for Amer
leans in the Soviet Union.
This offer has been made
several times since the re-
taliatory United States ban on
Soviet travel was put into effect
in 1855. The latest offer for q
blanket lifting was made last
November.
Moscow has never replied,
but Soviet officials have indi-

No Security Reasons

American officials say the
travel restrictions have no
security significance. Russian
nationals still must get permls-
sion to visit atomic installations
or other restricted areas, just
as American citizens do.
In recent months the Soviet
Union has made five or six
exceptions to permit Americans
to visit its restricted areas,
officials report. The United
States has made three of four
recent exceptions in return.
Officials here emphasize that
the only reason for the Amer
lean ban on Russian travel is
to put pressure on Moscow to
lift his own restrictions.

7 Unknowns
To Be Picked
Ships Take Bodies
To Sea Rendezvous
BY ELSTON C. FAY
Associated Press star Writer

ABOARD USS CANBERRA,
May 26 (R.-This gray-painted
warship headed out today for
an open sea meeting with ships
bearing the bodies Of the hon.
ored unknown dead of World
War II and Korea.
The Canberra, a guided mis-
sile cruiser assigned as the
ceremonial ship for the trans
fer of the three bodies, left
Norfolk and glided out between
the Virginia Capes in mist and
slanting rain.
A weather plane secuted the
sea, seeking a relatively clear
and calm area for the cere-
mony.
Weather prospects last night
looked forboding. But today
Rear Admiral Lewis Parks,
commander Of Atlantic Fleet
Cruiser Forces. said he expected
the ships to find mild seas at
their meeting place. with easy
swells of 3 to 5 feet.
On two other ships were the
three nameless dead of Ameri-
cas- two most recent wars.
Two Bound for Homeland
Two of them were bound for
the homeland for which they
died in World War II and
Korea, to be buried beside
World War rs unknown soldier
in Arlington Cemetery.
The third, the unchoSen of
the two World War II dead,
will be buried at sea before
the day is done.
The Canberra is the ceremo-
NAL ship. Its after desk has
been cleared for placing the
three bronze caskets under the
shadow of missile launchers.
The orders called for the
Canberra, her sister ship, the
Boston, and the sleek destroyer
Blandy to gather there. But
forecasts of moderately bad
weather at sea raised the pos
sibility the rendezvous might
| be moved into the protected
waters inside the Virginia
Capes.
The Boston, inbound from
Guantanamo, Cuba, carried the
man who died in the Pacific
theater in World War II and
the one who died in Korea.
They had been flown from the
military cemetery in Hawaii to
the United States naval base in
Cuba.
The Blandy was bringing the
body of the nameless man who
fell in Europe or perhaps North
Africa.
