NATO Consulted
On Spy Flights

LONDON. May IL CAP)-
Laborite Leader Hugh Gaitskell
declared today that United
States reconnaissance flights
over the Soviet Union should
be undertaken only with the
approval of the entire NATO
alliance.
He told the House of Com
mons such approval is a ne
cessity because this form of es-
pionage "conceivably could set
off a nuclear war"
Mr.. GaitSkell spoke at the
opening of a foreign affairs de-
bate in which Britain's hopes
at the forthcoming summit
meeting were expected to be
outlined by Foreign Secretary
Selwyn Lloyd and Prime Min
lister Harold Macmillan.
Choosing his words carefully
Mr.. GaitSkell questioned the
wisdom of the United States in
sending a reconnaissance flight
over Russian territory just oe-
fore the summit talks get un-
der way in Paris Monday.

day announced the award of

The japanese entered a base
bid of $3,819,9O0 on schedule A

ditional locomotives and three
locomotive cranes. On Sched-
ule B, which asks for the same
number of units plus 10 ad-
ditional locomotives, the Tokyo
firm bid S4,699,900. With an
adjustment factor for evalua-
ton of foreign bids, MitSubiShi
offers came to $4,327,890 on
