then know whether Mr.. Powers
was dead or alive.
The implication Of the State
Department officials argument
last night was that someone
somewhere abroad had set up
an espionage operation in this
instance involving a fight over
Soviet territory.
One question raised was
whether the flights made dur
ing the last four years "along
the frontiers of the free world
were ever on the Soviet side
of those frontiers.
There had been at least 13
incidents. in the last 10 years
involving American aircraft
and Soviet armed forces. In
those instances eight aircraft
have been shot down, two have
been forced to land in Commu-
mist territory and three escaped
after being attacked, according
to Government compilations.
Acted in Good Faith
Last nights statement washed
out the earlier explanation ex-
cept for the poSsibility-as Mr..
Khrushchev argued in his
speech-that it had been some
kind of cover story to hide the
real purpose Of secret mission
The point that State Depart
ment officials insisted on, how
ever. was that when they issued
the Thursday statement and
NASA made its parallel expla-

STATEMENT 5 =. Z
U. S. Says Pilot Made
Unauthorized Flight

Herter and other top diplomatic
officials at least did not answer
for newsmen.
Mr.. KhTushchev charged
that Mr.. Powers, a former
United States Air Force pilot,
worked for the Central Intel
ligence Agency.
The chief of that agency,
Allen w. Dulles, was not mem
toned at the State Department
as being involved in the con-
situations although it seems
certain he was consulted.
The statement raised many
questions which State Depart
ment officials for the moment
at least did not answer for
newsmen.
Some Of these questions con-
cerned the effects Of the gov
ernment admission on Mr..
Powers prospects in Soviet
captivity.
Presumably the Washington
government will notify Moscow
officially that Mr.. Powers did
make an unauthorized flight
and will seek through diplo-
matte channels to intervene in
his behalf.

nation, both agencies acted in
good faith on the best available
information.
Pres reports from Moscow
said Mr.. Khrushchev named a
Col. Willing Shelton as Mr..
Powers commanding officer at
the base at Adana. Early yes
terday Air Force informants
here said that Col. william
Shelton is in charge of the Sec
ond Weather Reconnaissance
Squadron stationed at the base
The squadron furnishes support
for the NASA air weather
operation.
State Department officials
said they were unable to ex-
plain whether any agency or
private concern other than
NASA operates the U-2 aircraft.
Mr.. Powers was earlier iden-
titled by the Government as a
test pilot for the Lockheed Air
craft Corp. Lockheed was de-
scribed as doing high-altitude
studies under contract to NASA.

to handle the situation and on

made to the Soviet government
for the admitted violation of
Russian air space.
Some said that since Mr..
Khrushchev had handled the
whole matter in public state
ments before the Soviet paria-
ment so as to gain maximum
propaganda advantage against
the United States, a public
statement might be all that was
necessary from Washington.
The same authorities pre-
dicted. however, that the
United States would intervene
on behalf of the pilot.
The import of the statement
was that he made the flights
on orders from someone not in
Washington. 1t did not indicate
who such authorities might be.
II left the impression that
there would be further inves-
tigation and perhaps some fur
ther action in the matter.
AS to who ordered the fight
the official statement offered
no explanation.
"As a result of the inquiry
ordered by the President" the
statement said, 1T has been
established that insofar as the
authorities in Washington are
concerned there was no author
ization for any such fight as
described by Mr.. Khrushchev."
Issued by Press Officer
The statement was issued
az the State Department by
Press Officer Lincoln White.
After declaring the fight was
not authorized by Washington,
the statement said:
Nevertheless, it appears
that in endeavoring to obtain
information now concealed be-
hind the Iron Curtain a flight
over Soviet territory was prob
ably undertaken by an un-
armed civilian U-2 plane"
That is the type Of single
engine high flying Jet aircraft
which Mr.. Krushchev an
nounced was shot down by a
Soviet rocket near Sverdlovsk
in Central Russia last Sunday.
Mr.. Khrushchev reported
yesterday that Mr.. Powers
was captured after he bailed
out and might be brought to
trial.
Mr.. Khrushchev said Mr..
Powers was flying from a base
in Pakistan across the width
Of the Soviet Union to a base
in Norway for the purpose Of
taking pictures of Soviet de-
fense installations.
In response to reporters
questions MIR. White said that
the statement was cleared with
the President, who is at his
Gettysburg farm for the week
end.
The action came after day
long conferences in the State
Department.
These involved not only MIR.

explaining that their earlier
statements on this case, insist
ing that the U-2 was on q
weather survey flight, were is
sued in good faith and based
on the best information avail
able here at that time.
Dificulty With Oxygen
When Mr.. Khrushchev broke
the news Thursday that a
United States craft had been
downed, the State Department
put out q statement indicating
the disappearance of an un-
armed weather study craft op-
Grating out of Adana, Turkey
During the flight of this
plane" the report said. "the
pilot reported difficulty with
his oxygen equipment :.
ut is entirely possible that,
having a failure in the oxygen
equipment which could result
in the pilot losing conscious
ness. the plane continued on

cradle distance and accident

On that same day, it was i'm

have been one of a feet op-
Grated by the National Aero

The State Department and
NASA had said Thursday that
the plane, if it violated Soviet
air space, did so accidentally.
Mr.. White suggested at that
time that if the plane had in
fact flown across the Soviet
frontier the Russians might
have shot it down while the
pilot was blacked out from lack
of oxygen. Washington did not

The commission said an

A Syrian 1st Army spokes-
man said the MAC also con-
demned Israel for violating

The spokesman said the ac-
ton was taken in a 5-hour

The MAC verdict put the
blame on the Israelis for the

touched off the fighting on the
