British Seek
ToSeftIe Row
Flights


LONDON. April IS (AP).-
The British government today
was reported anxious to patch
up differences with the United
States over the use Of high
flying American cargo planes
in the Berlin air corridors.
Foreign Secretary Selwyn
Lloyd is expected to make a
personal effort Monday to
smooth out what one British
paper calls "the most serious
misunderstanding in Anglo
United States relations since
Suez."
Laborite legislators have
scheduled seven questions on
British policy toward the high
altitude flights for Mr.. Lloyd
to answer in the House Of
Commons.
The dispute again made
headlines here today with the
United States State Depart
lment's charge that British
newspapers are showing "ti-
nudity. in objecting to the Ber-
lin flights.
"'Chicken' British"
London papers generally re-
ported the Washington state
ment calming and without edi-
torial comment, but the Daily
Mail headlines its Page 5 &C.
count: ~. S. Sneers at the
Chicken British"
The statement that disturbed
the British came from State
Department Press Officer Lin
coin White who said yesterday /:
There is certain amount
of dismay in Washington over
the attitude expressed in news
stories of timidity toward any,
thing we do in the maintenance
of our rights in Berlin as pro-
vocation of the Soviet Union
particularly when this is viewed
in the light Of the provocations
by the Soviet Union as cited
in our note of April Is to the
Soviet Union"
Mr.. White denied there was
any split over the matter within
the United States Government.
The April IS note rejected
the Soviet protest that flights
lin the air corridors to Berlin
should be limited to 10000 feet
or less. 1t said the Western
Allies recognize no altitude
limit and American planes will
continue to fly as high as they
want to.
Two high-altitude flights to
Berlin have been made with
C130 turbo prop cargo planes,
which operate best well over
10000 feet. On March II a
fight was buzzed by Soviet
fighter planes and one on April
Is was Swallowed by Red
fighters.
Herter Overruled?
Some British reports have
taken the line that Acting Sec
Rotary of State Christian
Herter, after the first incident,
had assured the British there
would be no further flights. In
spite of this, these stories i'm
piled. the Pentagon continued
the flights over State Depart
ment objections.
Mr.. White said there is
Government-wide approval OF
the use of C130s into and out
of Berlin" and this policy was
established before the March
IN incident. THE reasons are
that there is absolutely no
ceiling on the corridors ano
there is no limitation on the
use Of planes in the corridors.
he said.
! Officials privately said Pres
Iident Eisenhower personally
had approved the policy.
There was no backing down
by the London papers on their
general view that United
States authorities would now
be wiser to keep their planes
below the 10,000-feet ceiling
demanded by the SovietS.

Outside, between bazooka

Inside, the two captains threw
mattresses over ratings for a
protective barrier against the
possibility of rifle fire from the
two 1920 rifles the convicts
had. They had at one time
