EISENHOWER
Russians Disputed
On Planes Flight

continued were mot worth a
penny"
The Soviet leader also warned
that resumption of U-2 flights
over Russia would heat the
existing tension to the boiling
point and bring matters to the
outbreak of war"
Here is the text of the
Hagerty statement:
THE American RB-47 plane
was over international waters
and at no time few over Soviet
territory, Soviet territorial
waters or Soviet air space.
The shooting down of this
plane as the Soviet government
alleges can only have been a
deliberate and reckless attempt
to create an international Incl
dent.
For IL days the plane has
been reported as missing. In
deed, it has also been reported
that at least one Soviet ship
was assisting in good faith in
the search for the missing air
craft.
"Any attempt to connect the
flight of this aircraft with the
U-2 flight of May is completely
without foundation and the So
Wet authorities, including Mr..
Khrushchev, know this.
"The Government of the
United States is answering the
Soviet note of yesterday. The
United States note will be made
public at the Department of
State today"
Details Not Given
Mr.. Hagerty brushed aside
reporters questions seeking de-
tails regarding the plane flight.
He said the official reply to be
put out in Washington would
provide more information.
Prior to Mr.. Hagerty's state
ment all Government officials
had been under orders to make
no comment on the new Incl
dent. President Eisenhower had
instructed the State and De-
fenSe Departments to furnish
him with a complete report on
the Moscow charges.
This was in dramatic con-
trast with what happened in
the U-2 spy plane episode when
the Soviet Union lured the
United States Government into
a trap and touched off an in
ternational furor.
In that incident administra-
ton spokeSmen at first said the
U-2 was on reconnaissance
mission and perhaps had
strayed unintentionally of its
course into Soviet territory.
Then the Soviet trap snapped

Although the Soviet note to
the United States said the
plane was to return to its Brit
ish base. Mr.. Khrushchev said
intercepted radio messages
from an American radio sta
ton at Bodo, Norway, showed
it was actually headed there.
He said:
Can one trust the state
nlents of the Norwegian gov

note of May 81 to take meas
ures to prevent the use by the
United States of Norwegian
territory for aggressive pur-
poses against the Soviet Union? =?

facts, the position of the Nor
wegian government is, to say
the least. unwiSe and dangerous
for the Norwegian people"
The Norwegian Foreign Ofice
in a statement last night said
the first it knew of the RB-47's
flight was the request for planes
searching for it to land in Nor
way.
Mr.. KhruShchev said the fact
that the American bomber was
shot down by a fighter showed
that American strategic bomb
ers are fully within the range
of Soviet defense forces and
any strategy based on their use
is doomed to failure.

Unemployment
Rises 964,OOO;;
Jobs Also Up
BY LEE M. COHN
Star Stan Writer

Unemployment rolls In
creased by $4,000 workers
last month, the Labor Depart
ment reported today. but Gov
ernment experts disputed Sen
ator Kennedy's contention that
the high level of joblessness
may signal a serious economic
downturn in 1861.
DR.. Seymour L. Wolfbein,
the departments manpower
chief, told a press conference
the squirt in jobleSsness re-
flected an unusually big influx
of teen-agers into the labor
market-and was not "a har-
binger Of a recession"
Unemployment probably will
decline through the summer
and into the fall as the teen
ayers find jobs, give up the
search or return to school, DR..
Wolfbein predicted.
Employment rose last month
by 1,371,000, to a record high
level of 68,579, 900, the depart
ment reported. The increase of
964,000 in unemployment was
the biggest May-to-June Jump
since World War II, and
boosted the jobless total to
4,423, 900. ,f.
Employment and unemploy-
ment increased simultaneously
because the civilian labor force
those working or seeking
work-expanded by 1885, 900.
The number Of new jobs was
not sufficient to take care of
all the new job-seekers.
Except for the teenagers, DR..
Wolfbein said. the. job picture
last month generally was about
normal. But he added that the
steel industry is depressing the
employment market with heavy
layoffS.
The rate of unemployment,
adjusted for seasonal factors,
increased from 40 per cent of
the civilian labor force in May
to SIS per cent in June, the de-
partment reported. The in
crease in unemployment was
about double the normal rise
for the season.

After the Soviet spy charge was
made yesterday. President Els
enhower ordered United States
officials to make no comment
until he could study a full re-
port from the State and De-
tense Departments on Moscow's
charges.
Mr.. Khrushchev said that
since the plane was stopped
as it began its intrusion over
Soviet territory, 'the Soviet
government limited itself to
destroying the aircraft"
THE surviving members Of
the crew will be brought to
court in accordance with
Soviet laws" he continued.
Let the provocateurs and the
executors Of their i'll will not
count on such actions going
unpunished."
The incident, Mr.. Khru-
Shchev asserted, testified that
the United States Government
has not abandoned the policy
Of committing acts of aggres-
sion against the Soviet Union. {"
THE American people," he
continued, like the whole
world public, must know the
truth. They must know that
the United States Government
is conducting a dangerous
game with the destinies of the
world, the destinies of the
peoples"
In an opening statement, Mr..
Khrushchev repeated the For
eign Ministry'S account yester-
day that the United States
plane intruded over Soviet ter
! ritorial waters near Svyatoy
Nos Cape, a 10-mile long pro-
lection into the Barents Sea
from the Kola Peninsula: that
it headed for Archangel, the
Soviet Arctic seaport 240 miles
to the south, and that it failed
to follow signal orders from a
Soviet fighter plane to follow
it and land.
After that" Mr.. Khru-
shchev's statement said, "in
accordance with the orders
given to the armed forces of
the Soviet Union on guarding
the Soviet frontiers, our fighter
was compelled to open fire on
the aircraft and brought it
down.
Later, two members of the
crew OF the shot down Ameri-
can plane were found in Soviet
territorial waters: The naviga-
tor and the second pilot.
Called "Act of Perfidy"
From their depositions. it
became known that the six
engine RB-47 plane left an
American military base on
British territory, and was to
have flown along the northern
frontiers of the Soviet Union
on an espionage mission and
then return to Britain"
Mr.. KhruShchev described
the incident as "a new act of
Iperfidy Of the part of the
United States Government"
and added:

Paris last May, on the discon-

Mr.. Khrushchev also echoed
his governments protest notes
yesterday to Britain and Nor
way.
Because the plane had flown
from a British base, he &C
cused Britain Of being "a di-

ployes were told that if they
did not resign or retire, "other
means" would be found to get
rid Of them.
