Notes Red Spying
Senator Dirksen said he is
confident the leaders of other
Western powers are realistic
in viewing this problem and
said he knew from testimony
taken by a Senate committee
some years ago what the Rus
slams have done to get infor-
nation in this country.
Senator Case, Republican of
South Dakota, said President
Eisenhower should go to next
weeks scheduled summit meet
ing and that results may come
from it.
Senator Case recalled going
to a baseball game last week
at which the coaches on both
sides were trying to steal the
signals of the other team. But
that knowledge did not prevent
the managers from getting to-
gether for an understanding

Called "Tragic Blunder"
Senator Robertson. Democrat
of Virginia, said somebody
made a tragic blunder in order
ing that flight" He said it vio-
lated the neutrality of two
friendly nations-Pakistan and
Norway.
Senator Robertson said that
as a member of the Defense
Appropriations Subcommittee
he did not know CIA money
was used to fly airplanes, and
said he is certain neither the
President nor Secretary of State
Herter knew about it.
Noting that the planes pilot
Francis G. Powers. is a native
of Virginia, Senator Robertson

Paris with the idea Of making
a serious start toward solving
East-West problems, it is hard
to see how he has helped his
cause.
Another theory popular
among the inside Russia set"
is that Mr.. Khrushchev was
moved to action by internal
criticism of his policy Of "6e-
tente." Shooting down an
American invader comes as
dramatic proof for home con-
sumption that the Premier is
not going soft toward the West
and that Russia's defenses have
not been weakened by recent
cuts in the military.
Those who hold this theory
emphasize satisfaction with
which the news has been
received by Communist China
where Mr.. Khrushchev's inter-
mittent geniality has not been
popular. They look on the
incident as typical of the hot
and cold Khrushchev method
which may not have any last
ing implications on his long
range plans.
Chance at Division Seen
Still others believe quite
simply that Mr.. Khrushchev
saw in the situation an irreslst-
ible opportunity to divide the
allies and divide Americans
themselves over the "irresponsi-
BILE" action of their military
leaders.
1t has not gone unnoticed
here that President Eisenhower
was not personally taken to
task over the incident. In fact,
Mr.. KhruShchev has played the
whole thing as a perfect illus
tration Of his classic theme:
The real rulers of the United
States are the military bosses
Of the Pentagon and good
hearted men such as Mr.. Eli
senhower are powerless to con-
troll them.
In this, at least, he has sue
ceeded admirably.
The State Departments ex-
planation that the flight was
Observation-Disclosures by the
rather feeble justification of
why it should have been-has
created the exact picture of
official ineptitude that Mr..
Khrushchev was aiming at.
1t is traditional, of course,
for governments to repudiate
spies who get caught and per-
hapS Francis Powers is on the
same spot. In this case, how
ever. official denial of high
level responsibility seems tn
have made the very worst of
a bad situation and handed
Mr.. Khrushchev a diplomatic
victory which he could hardly
have forseen.

not been officially disclosed.
However, qualified informants
said that two reasons stood out
in the deliberations.
Threat to Farley Seen
One was that the failure OF
the mission and the capture
of pilot Francis G. Powers plus
the dramatic use made of the
whole affair by Mr.. Khrushchev
last Thursday and Saturday
had created tensions between
Washington and Moscow which
threatened to wreck the sum-
nit conference. In the circum-
stances it was decided, accord
ing to this explanation, to ad-
nit the essential accuracy of
Mr.. Khrushchev's charge but
without confirming the detail
of his case.
The other motivation as
signed to the decision was to
seize upon the affair to drama
tie before the world the dan
gers which the United States
Government sees in the Soviet
policy of concealment.
At the same time the state
ment disavowed any personal
responsibility of the President
or any other Washington au-
thority for the espionage mis-
sion. 1t said that an investi-
cation ordered by the Presi-
dent showed that insofar as
the authorities in Washington
are concerned there was no
authorization for any such
flight as described by Mr..
KhruShchev."
officials would not 60 be-
yond that IN reporting what
the inquiry had shown about
who was responsible. The i'm
plication was that some lower
official outside Washington Or
dered the flight.
Ban on Flights Denied
tMr. Hagerty denied today
that the President had or
dered a halt to all flights over
or near Communist frontiers
pending an investigation of
intelligence operations. AS to
whether anyone else has or
dered cancellation of such
flights. Mr.. Hagerty said, Il
know of no such order"
(Mr. Hagerty also indicated
that the stir over the plane
incident is causing the Presi-
dent to consider canceling a
news conference scheduled
for Wednesday. Mr.. Hagerty
announced the news confer
ence last week, but today he
said: Il will let you know in
the morning" whether it is
still scheduled.

Secrecy Denounced

which Mr.. Eisenhower is re-
ported planning to take at the
summit conference, the state
nent denounced excessive
secrecy practiced by the Soviet
Union in contrast to the free
world" 1t recalled that at the

Paris Irritated
ByU-2Case,
But Not Others
BY CROSBY S. MOVES


European Correspondent Of The Star
PARIS, May 9.-The shoot
ing down of an American re-
connaissance plane over Rus
sia is causing irritation as well
as embarrassment in official
circles here.
A loud and universal chorus
of Indignation aimed at the
United States is not, so far
as some observers are con-
Icerned. entirely justified.
The United States, by get
ting caught with its U-2 down,
may have played into the
hands of the Russians. But
hundreds of angry editorial
lists are doing the same thing
by their willingness to present
Americans as the prize fat
heads of all time.
These editorialists are well
aware that aerial reconnaiS-
Isaince has been going on for
years and that the United
States has no monopoly on
the practice. Russian "pene-
trations" over Alaska and the
North American continent are
routine. Whether these in
truders are allowed to escape
out Of politenesS or lack of
effective rockets has never
been disclosed.
Plane Shot Down Year Ago
In fact, this is not the first
time that American reconnais-
sance planes have been shot
down. The Russians were pain
fully embarrassed about a year
ago when the United States
released a tape recording of a
conversation between Russian
fighter pilots in the process of
destroying an unarmed photo
plane inside the Turkish bor-
der.
Russian search planes which
frequently appear over maneu-
vers of the 9Th Fleet in the
Mediterranean sea have no way
Of getting there without "vio-
lating" the airspace of sur
rounding countries.
An interesting question being
asked by some people here is
why Soviet Premier Khrush-
chev should have seized this
occasion to blow the incident
up to the proportions of a
major international crisis. The
answers being suggested cover
a broad range of possibilities.
1t is said. for example, that
Mr.. Khrushchev wanted to
strengthen his hand at the
summit conference which gets
under way here next week. BY
putting America on the defen-
sive and creating confusion
among its allies, the Russians
will be in a better position to
obtain their detectives. And if
the conference fails they will
have a ready made scapegoat
to take the blame.
One Solution Makes Sense
This is a curious argument.
however, from those who have
looked toward the meeting
with optimism. So far as many
diplomats here are concerned,
it makes sense only if Mr..
KhruShchev looks on the COM
ing meeting purely in terms of
"a propaganda duel.
If, as some Western leaders

Steel Poy Raise Seen
Not Affecting Prices.

PITTSBURGH. Nov. so (AP).
Pay increases ranging from
Z to Is cents an hour go into
effect tomorrow for basic steel
workers. But there is no indica :
ton steel price increases will
follow-at least for the time
being.
Some 100000 members of the
United Steelworkers Union will
be entitled to wage raises.
However, the union estimates
about 10000 of these are cur
rently unemployed and thou
sands more are working less
than 40 hours a week.
Management spokesm a II
either decline any comment on
the possibility of price changes,
or simply point out no an
1ouncement has been made one
way or another.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1960-11-30

However, sources close to the
industry strongly believe prices
viii hold steady in the immedi-
ate future despite higher pay
roll costs.
This belief is based on the
current low state of steel busi-
ness. AS long as the slump
continues. this thinking goes,
steel Arms will not boost prices.
For the. last five months, the
industry has been operating
generally below IS per cent of
capacity. This week the rate
is estimated at 49.3 per cent.
No significant upturn in pro-
duction is expected the rest
of the year. And It is likely
the showdown will persist well
INTO 1861. according to industry
sources.

During her senior year at
Vassar College, Mrs. John L.

become a children's librarian.
She got of to a promising
if unorthodox-start by enroll
ing in a teachers college after
graduation. A friend had con-
vinced her she would enjoy her
projected career more if she
first found out how youngsters
learned to read.
Mrs. Steele found out. And
in the process she became so

gave up any further thought Of
setting out on her chosen career.

about her work as legislative
chairman for the District Con-

The official politely sug-
gested-and Mrs. Steele agreed
that 1t might be best to post

gram until she had more free

appears, will have to be ex-
