Will Press U-2 Case
He said nothing had hap
pened in the Security Council
to reassure the Soviet Union
that there would be no more
United States spy planes over
Soviet territory. He stressed
anew he would raise the U-2
case before the General AS
sembly.
Speaking of the proposed
dispatch of United States fight
er planes to Asia, he said such
acts do not bespeak any eager
ness by the United States to
contribute to the reduction of
tension"
! Mr.. Gromyko appeared at
the news conference after last
nights call by the U. N. Sc
curity Council for new Big Four
negotiations.
Asked about reports that
United States planes had flown
from japanese bases over Com
munist China. he said:
IF Japan turns out to be an
accomplice of the United States,
this is a dangerous matter"
He called attention to the
Chinese-Soviet treaty for joint
defense against aggression,
adding "it seems the japanese
government ought to draw the
appropriate conclusions and en-
gage in no actions which will
endanger the security of ia
pam"
Mr.. Gromyko warned the
Japanese government not to
play with fire."
Bars Sky Patrol
He declared once more that
the Soviet Union would shoot
down any plane winch flies over
Soviet territory without au-
thorization. He also rejected
once more the Eisenhower plan
for a United Nations aerial sur
veillance system to guard
against surprise attack. This,
he said, is just another scheme
to gather intelligence for the
Pentagon.
Mr.. Gromyko said the Soviet
Union would go ahead for the
time being with the Geneva
disarmament talks, but he ac-
cused the United States of
procrastination and declared
the Soviet Union would bring
the whole issue back to the
U. N. if such alleged stalling
continues.
Asked specifically whether he
considered President Eisen-
hover trustworthy and whether
the Soviet Union would rule
out any further negotiations
with the Eisenhower admins
tration, he said:
I'VE assert that a Govern
ment which engaged in a policy
of breach of faith toward the
Soviet Union cannot be re-
garded as reliable party in
negotiations"
Await U. S. Election
He recalled that Soviet Pre-
mier Khrushchev had suggested
a new summit might be held
six or eight months from now
II conditions improve. This
appeared to emphasize that the
Soviet government was exclud-
ing any summit meeting until
after the United States elec-
ton in November.
Mr.. Gromyko declared, howe
ever, that the whole question
OF United States-Soviet nego-
tlatlonS was mainly in the
hands of the United States.
Mr.. Gromyko indicated be-
fore the 11-nation council ad-
Iourned last night that Rus
STA did not share the expressed
Willingness of the Western Big
Three for early revival of last
weeks disrupted Paris summit
conference.
The resolution, adopted 80
with Russia and Poland alb
staining, urged Britain, France,
Russia and the United States
to resume discussions as soon
as possible"
Ihe sponsors - Argentina
Ceylon, Ecuador and Tunisia-
revised the proposal shortly be-
fore last nights vote, to avoid
a Soviet veto.
In an effort to mollify the
Soviet delegation, they put in
an appeal to all United Nation
member governments TO re-
spect each others sovereignty
tand territorial integrity"
The Russians could take that
as an implied renuke to the
United States for sending spy
planes over Soviet territory
