When you look at paper drinking cup, you prob
ably do not suspect the hidden excitement that
turks in its simple design.
1t so happens that paper cup is the ideal indoor
tennis ball. This fact is the basis of brand-new
indoor-outdoor game called Paper Cup Tennis. Any
play it, and it's perfect for family fun Paper
cups sail through the air at just the right speed.
Even newcomers to the game can make spectacular
plays that would go down in history at Wimbledon
and don't worry, it's possible to play the game
without knocking down walls or breaking furniture.
There is no Paper Cup Tennis Association in the
United States and therefore the rules informal
The best way to set tournament play as follows
.. Pick a reasonably uncuttered room, and stretch
a string or ribbon across it, about waist-high.

VALUABLE HINTss If you can find only very light
paper cups on your pantry shelf, put one inside
another and fasten them together with paper clip.
In fact, you adjust the fight of heavier, waxed
paper cups by attaching paper clips to the edges,
adding enough ballast for stable fight.
One final tip: If you've got any unbreakable

For many years the United

been put up to the Soviet

BY CROSBY S. MOVES

European Correspondent of The Star
PARIS, May 10.-In contrast
to the admissions from Wash
ington there's a growing wave
of skepticism in Europe today
about Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev's version of shooting
down an American observation
plane.
Newspapers here are empha-
sizing the mysterious side Of
the affair. Editorialists and
aviation experts are asking
pointed questions about the
curious behavior of the plane
and the still more curious be-
havior of its pilot, Francis G.
Powers.
How was it possible, for in
stance. for any aircraft flying
at a great altitude and high
speed to be brought down by
a high-explosive rocket sufi-
GENTLY intact as to be easily
identified and important parts
of its equipment recovered?
Why did the pilot perform
the almost impossible feat OF
parachuting without using his
election seat which would have
blown up the plane?
Where did the film come
from that Mr.. Khrushchev dis
played so triumphantly in Mos
COW? That the film and cameras
could survive the crash seems
completely incredible.
How did it happen that q
trained agent should have giver

himself up so docily with all
the evidence of his mission still
in his pocket?
During his descent, it is
noted, Mr.. Powers would have
had ample time to dispose of
discriminating survival kits -
suicide needles and so on. He
not only, according to Mr..
Khrushchev, made no effort to
do so but has apparently been
eager to supply his captors with
all the information they ask
for.
In fact, Mr.. Khrushchev's
version of the affair grows more
curious each time he retells
it. And his very apparent de-
termination to exploit the in
cident for diplomatic ad-
vantages increases skepticism
here.
1t is hard to square this
skepticism, of course, with what
seems like the willingness oi
top American officials to au-
thenticate Mr.. Khrushchev'S
story.
But until these questions are
answered, suspicion will remain
that the incident was deliber-
ately engineered in Moscow
and that the real sequence Of
events was quite different.
If so, it seems possible that
Mr.. Khrushchev's diplomatic
windfall could turn out to bt
very sour indeed. And the fina
result quite the opposite o.
what was intended.

Burglary Suspect
Arrested at Store

An unemployed Washington
man, arrested early today after,
police said. he set off a burglar
alarm in Woodward & 10th
rop'S Alexandria store, has
pleaded guilty to statutory
burglary.
David C. Perkins, %, of the
400 block of Kenyon street
NV, pleaded not guilty to a
second charge of possession of
burglary tools. Alexandria
Municipal Court Judge James
N. Colasanto ordered him held
for action of the Corporation
Court grand jury.
Detective 1t. Francis John
son said Perkins was arrested
about 3 am. after police, in
response to the burglar alarm,
had converged on the store at
615 North Washington street.
Sergt. johnson said several
officers and the departments
police dog Shane searched the
store but did not find Perkins.
A cash register had been pried
open, police said, but nothing
was missing.
Police said Perkins had en-
tered the store through a rear
window. They reported he was
arrested by Sergt. Robert
Schwarz and Pvts. Charles Coe
and Clarence Fitzsimmons as
he was leaving the store by the

u. S. Plane Was Riqqed
To Kill Pilot, Reds Say

MOSCOW, May 10 CAP) A
Red Star article said today
Francis G. Powers has indi-
Gated he believed an explosion
of his jet engine halted his
May Day sky flight over the
Soviet Union.
Red Star also said the plane
was rigged to kill the pilot il
he had pressed the lever to
eject himself from the plane.
Two Soviet officers, writing
in the army newspaper after
what they described as an in
terview with the 30-year-old
flyer from Pound, Va, reported
he did not think a Soviet rocket
knocked down his high-fying
Lockheed U-2.
The official Russian story
announced by Premier Nikita S,
Khrushchev and elaborated on
in newspaper dispatcheS-is
that a rocket unit felled the
plane with a single shot as it
sped over the central Urals at
an altitude of more than IL
miles.
Insist He's Test Pilot
(The U-2's designer, C. L.
johnson, said last night he did
not believe the plane was shot
down by either a missile or an
other aircraft. His opinion was
that "if they have the U-2 it
is because some mechanical or
oxygen failure caused it to
descend below it's normal cruis-
ing altitude.D
The authors of the Red Star
article were Col. F. Luchnikov
and Maj. v. Zhukov. A request
by American correspondents for
permission to interview Powers
has gone unanswered.
Powers bridled at being called
a pilot, the Soviet officers wrote,
and insisted he was a test pilot
He was quoted as saying he
was paid $2,500 month and
that his dream was to buy land
and build a home on it. Just
where was not specified.

sounded a conciliatory note,
saying:
Our strength is being tested.
Therefore let us not draw con-
clusionS aggravating relations
between countries, such con-
clusionS as would hamper us
in the future, even, I should
like to say. in building good
relations with the United
States of America.
"a. we want to live, not
only in peace, but also in
friendship with the American
people. The American people
want no war, I am sure Of
this"
Authorization Challenged
Referring to the United
States explanation that the spy
fight had not been authorized
from Washington, Mr.. Khru-
shchev said to his listeners at
the Embassy:
What kind of a state is this
if the military can do what the
government opposes? How can
the Government tolerate this?
If anyone of our military al
lowed himself to do such a
thing, we would pull him up
Immediately.
I'VE tell the Americans
your plane flew over our coun-
try on an intelligence mission.
We tracked its fight and it
flew to the Sverdlovsk area
where it was brought down.
That is how you got into a
mess, and you are in a mess.
PLUCK up your courage and
say, yes, there was such a dis
graceful fact. And this is a big
disgrace for America since ev-
eryone sees now how disgraced
in the eyes of the whole world
are those who committed such
a shocking act of aggression. :"

between $4,000 and $4,000 in
cash since May 2.

when he called his wife the day
he checked into the hotel, ac-
cording to Assistant United

The coin dealer left his lug
gage and most of his clothing
in his room. Money orders to-
falling $4,000, waiting for him
at the hotel, were untouched.
Mr.. Sickle said. There was no
sign Of violence in the room.
The case came to light when
Mr.. Sickle received a call from

Mr.. Sickle said he was told
Mr.. Mcbride enjoys an excel

called Mr.. Kotansky every day.
Mrs. Mcbride, a bride of six
months, said her husband also

HERTER STATEMENT
Soviet Policy Forces
Surveillance by U. S.

FOLLOWING is the teri of
Secretary of State Herter'S
statement yesterday on the
shooting dotDn of a United
States plane in Russia:
On May z the Department
of State spokesman made a
statement with respect to the
alleged shooting down of an
unarmed American civilian
aircraft Of the U-2 type over
the Soviet Union. The follow
ing supplements and clarifies
this statement as respects the
position Of the United States
Government.
Ever since Marsha! Stain
shifted the policy of the So
Wet Union from wartime CO.
operation to postwar conflict
in 1916, and particularly since
the Berlin blockade, the force
full take-over of Czechoslo-
vakia and the Communist
aggreSsions in Korea and
Vietnam. the world mas lived
in a state of apprehension
with respect to Soviet inten-
tions.
The Soviet leaders have al
most complete access to the
open societies of the free
world and supplement this
with vast espionage networks.
However, they keep their own
society tightly closed and rig
orously controlled. With the
development of modern weap-
ons carrying tremendously de-
structive nuclear warheads,
the threat of surprise attack
and aggression presents a
constant danger. This menace
is enhanced by the threats of
mass destruction frequently
Evening star., 1960-05-10

juStihedly, they fear attack
from the West, but this is
hard to reconcile with their
continual rejection of our re-
peated proposals for effective
measures against surprise at
tack and for effective inspec-
ton of disarmament measures.
l will say frankly that it is
unacceptable that the Soviet
political system should be given
an opportunity to make secret
preparations to face the free
world with the choice Of abject
surrender or nuclear destruc-
ton.
The Government Of the United
States would be derelict to its
responsibility not only to the
American people but to free
peoples everywhere if it did not,
in the absence of Soviet CO.
operation, take such measures
as are possible unilaterally to
lessen and to overcome this
danger of surprise attack. In
fact. the United States has not
and does not shirk this respon-
sibility.
In accordance with the Ma
tional Security Act Of 1947, the
President has put into effect
since the beginning of his ad-
Iministration directives to gather
by every possible means the in
formation required to protect
the United States and the free
world against surprise attack
and to enable them to make ef-
fective preparations for their
defense.
Under these directives pro-
grams have been developed and
put into operation which have
included extensive aerial sur

the fact that a book with the
picture of a half-nude woman
on the covert sounds like a
popular reprint type - was
found in the plane and re-
marked:
From its age and dirty con-
dition one can judge that
American officers found the
book popular reading"
Accounts in other military
papers reported several pic
lures of the flyers wife Barbara
were found in the cabin. They
said parts of the plane fell
over an area nine miles in
diameter.
Would Have Blown Up
Red Star said Powers would
have been blown up if he had
pressed the election mechanism.
The Soviet Defense Ministry
newspaper said investigation of
the plane wreckage showed it
was rigged with a stick of TINT
set to go of after the pilot
was elected.
The eviction mechanism bore
"a stamp saying it was last
checked in 1856, and it would
have failed, the paper said. But
the bomb mechanism was in
perfect order "and would have
spared neither the plane nor
the flyer" the report said.
Powers apparently knew his
bosses habits very well," Red
Star said. Probably this is
why he did not make use of the
catapult (ejection lever), real
izing what the end would be" "
Mr.. Khrushchev had asserted
previously that the American
flyer, after his plane was hit,
parachuted and was captured.

pant described as being highly
Illuminating.
The leaders were told there
is some belief that the plane
knocked down May l was not
hit at anything like a 10000
foot altitude but that perhaps
something went wrong which
forced it to descend into closer
range.
1t also was learned that sew
eral highly placed legislators
told the administration officials
they believed the timing of the
flight was bad and that it
would hurt the United States
and the rest of the free world
at the summit.
One participant in the con-
gressional brief1ng reported Mr..
Dulles said Russia had not
made such flights over the
United States except for a num-
Der in the Alaska region. The
reason. Mr.. Dulles stated. was
the Soviets already knew all
they wanted to know about
United States military and de-
fense installations.
Mr.. Herter and Mr.. Dulles
made their report to congress
sional leaders at a hurriedly
called secret briefing session
yesterday while Mr.. Eisen-
hover was meeting with his
top strategy group, the Ma
tional Security Council.
Mr.. Herter, in a statement,
said "the President has put
into effect since the beginning
of his administration directives
to gather by every possible
means the information required
to protect the United States
and the free world against sur
prise attack and to enable them
to make effective preparations
for their defense.
Under these directives pro-
grams have been developed and
put into operation which have
included extensive aerial sur
veillance by unarmed civilian
aircraft, normally of a peri
pheral character but on occa-
sion by penetration. :"
Criticism Curbed
Although it was generally
conceded that the administra-
ton had bungled by its initial
denial of a spy fight after the
plane went down May /, and by
then reversing itself, congress
sional opponents seemed to be
withholding criticism in ad-
vance Of the summit confer
ence.
Norway'S Ambassador Paul
Koht met with Mr.. Herter yes
terday to ask about Mr.. Khru-
shchev's claim that the United
States plane had been headed
for Bodo Field, near the Arctic
Circle in Norway. Mr.. Koht
told newsmen afterwards that
Mr.. Herter said the Norwegian
government had never been in,
formed of the flight, and that
it would have been had the
plane been headed there.

veillance by unarmed civilian
aircraft, normally Of a peri
pheral character but on occasion
by penetration. Specific mis-
sions Of these unarmed civilian
aircraft have not been subject
TO presidential authorization.
Known to Russians
The fact that such surveiI-
lance was taking place has ap-
parently not been a secret to
the Soviet leadership, and the
question indeed arises as to why
at this particular juncture they
should seek to exploit the pres
ent incident as a propaganda
battle in the cold war.
This Government had sin
cerely hoped and continues to
hope that in the coming meet
ing Of the heads Of government
in Paris, Chairman Khrushchev
would be prepared to cooperate
in agreeing to effective meas
ures which would remove this
fear Of sudden mass destruc-
ton from the minds Of people
everywhere.
Far from being damaging to
the forthcoming meeting in
Paris, this incident should serve
to underline the Importance to
the world of an earnest attempt
there to achieve agreed and ef-
fective safeguards against sur
prise attack and aggression.
At my request and with the
authority of the President, the
director Of the Central Intelli-
gence Agency, the Honorable
Allen w. Dulles, is today brief
ing members of the Congress
fully along the aforegoing lines.
