The United States formally
asked Russia today for the full
facts" behind Soviet Premier
Khrushchev's boast that an
American aircraft was shot
down over Soviet territory Sun
day.
The State Department made
public the text of an extremely
polite note delivered to the
Foreign Ministry in Moscow.
Following is the text of the
note:
The Embassy of the United
States of America by instruc-
ton of its Government has the
honor to state the following .
The United States Govern
ment has noted the statement
of the Chairman of the Council
Of Ministers of the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics, N.
s. Khrushchev, in his speech
before the Supreme Soviet on
May 5 that a foreign aircraft

crossed the border of the
Soviet on May l and that, on
orders of the Soviet govern

down. In this statement it was
said that investigation shows
that it was a United States
plane.
"As already announced on

In the light of the above

he did not think the Vice Pres
ident was interested in ending
the cold war or in disarmament
Yesterday, when first word OF
the Russian downing of the
plane came, the United States
withheld any strong protest
while awaiting more informa-
ton on the incident. President
Eisenhower ordered a swift in
quiry, but made no public COM
ment.
State Department Press Of

would have no impact on the
budget for the year starting
July because it is only an au-
thorization. The money would
have to be appropriated later,
and Senator Scott estimated it
would take six months to get
the program organized.
The bill would create two re-
volving funds of SIS million
each for loans to industrial and
rural areas where unemploy-
ment has been running above
certain specified percentages of
the working force. The bill also
contains authority for more
than $100 million for loans and
grants to develop public facil-
tiles and refrain displaced
workers in depressed areas.
Senator Cotton. Republican
of New Hampshire, expressed

the fear Of many opponents
that the bill would merely draw
industries out of some sections
OF the country to attract them
into other sections. He said the
fact that the House inserted
an anti-raiding provision shows
that this possibility exists. The
Federal aid shall not be given
to assist establishments in re-
locating from one area to an
other, when such assistance will
increase unemployment in the

described as tornado was re-
ported near Little Rock in the
States center; near Clarksville
so miles northwest of Morrill,
ton and at Prescott in South
Arkansas.
The tornadoes struck between
l and 2 am. (CST) as storm
belt moved out of Eastern Okla
homa into Arkansas.
Nearly all of Arkansas was
under a severe weather alert
when the twisters ripped across
the State.
Five were injured in the
tornado at Portland Bottoms,
which wrecked four houses.
Still another storm described
as a tornado swept into the
Red Hill community, 18 miles
north of Camden in South
Arkansas. Four houses were
damaged, but no one was in

remarkable rocket" and that
the decision to fire was made
by, Mr.. Khrushchev personally.
4 Points in Soviet Case
The effect was to focus at
tention on Russia's claim of a
lfantaStically effective defensive
weapon and to cast Mr.. Khru-
shchev even more emphatically
in the role of stout defender OF
Soviet territory.
But for the outside world the
Grechko speech carries forward
Mr.. Khrushchev's main argu-
ment that Mr.. Eisenhower is
jeopardizing the success of the
summit conference. He called
the plane incident an example
of United States aggressive ac-
ton against the Soviet Union.
But his case embraced several
other points, including:
/. Mr.. Eisenhower's decision
to leave the Paris meeting after
seven days, if it continues be-
yond a week. shows a lack OF
interest in seeking peace.
2. His assignment of Vice
President Nixon as a possible
substitute if the conference
lasts over a week is bad because
Mr.. Khrushchev claims Mr.
Nixon is not interested in end
ing the cold war.
3. The United States has
taken an intransigent attitude
on disarmament issues instead
of displaying a desire for agree
ment with the Soviet Union.
4. The United States attitude
on German and West Berlin
problems is not in line with the
need to settle East-West differ
enceS and end the cold war.
Officials who have studied
the full Khrushchev text say
these points stand out along
with the airplane shooting in
cident and help define his
purpose.

reported missing over Turkey
since Sunday. It's civilian pilot
was identified as Francis G.
Powers. 80, of Pound, Va, a
test pilot for the Lockheed
Aircraft Corporation. He was
born August II, 1929, at
jenkins. KY. and made his
home at Pound, where his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver w
Powers, live. His wife, Bar
bara, a native of Albany, Ga,
was in Turkey with her hus-
band.
Mr.. Powers was flying a high
altitude weather research plane
Of the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration.
The State Department, while
not stating that this was the
plane involved, said it was
possible that, the pilot blacked
out because of a failure of the
crafts oxygen equipment. II
said the plane might have
continued on automatic pilot
and accidentally violated Soviet
air space.
NASA said yesterday Mr..
Powers plane may be the ona
shot down by the Soviets,
adding that the search for the
missing plane could be halted
if the Russians would identify
the downed craft. 1t said MIR
Powers had reported trouble
with his oxygen equipment dur
ing the Sunday flight. There
was no word of Mr.. Powers fate.
There we're two discrepancies
involving the plane Mr.. Khru-
shchev described and the miss
ing NASA plane.
Mr.. Khrushchev said the
plane crossed the Soviet border
at 5:36 am. Sunday. NASA
said its plane-if it was the
one inVolved-did not take off
from a field near Adana, Tur-
key, until 8 am. Sunday.
Mr.. KhruShchev said identi-
fable marks on the plane had
been painted out. NASA said
the missing U-2 plane was
painted blue with a two-foot
NASA seal on its tail, topped
by a l2-inch wide band of
yellow.

Gen. Magruder released the
Korean army troops that were
used to restore order. but he
said no Korean military leaders

Korean Army Praised
Gen. Magruder called the
Korean army "one of the great
.est and strongest stabilizing
forces in Korea. 1t has the re-
spect of the Korean people"
He said the Korean "revolu-
ton" was exceptionally mod

said, but his United Nations
forces are as we'll prepared as
before the uprising to defend
Korea.
1t is understood there has
been no activity among Red
military units nor indications
the revolt is spreading into
North Korea.
Gen. Magruder credited the
family suicide by Assembly

halting the trend toward blood

upheaval.

tensely valuable to Korea"
Gen. Magruder said.
1T made those engaged In
the uprising recognize the
awful consequences of a vim
dictive attitude. Since then
there has been a tremendous
reduction of vindictiveness. To
my mind that act, terrible as
it was, changed the attitude
of the uprising" he added.
His primary concern, Gen.
Magruder said. has been and
continues to be that the up-
rising, having basically accom-
plised its objective-which is
TO insure honest elections-not
degenerate into mob rule. This
could promptly produce chaos"

medical science to study" ht
added sarcastically.
The Soviet Foreign Minister
said, The answer to thit
allegation is simple-none oi
those who bear responsibility
for such actions can provide
any coherent explanation.
Mr.. Gromyko said that the
Soviet, Union still hopes that
the forthcoming summit con-
ference will bring about q
further relaxation of interna-
tional tension"
He promised that "the Soviet
government, on its part, will do
everything possible to aid the
success Of the Paris meeting"
The meeting opening in Paris
May Is, he said, will be a real
acid test of the Western pow
ers' intentions.
Reaction in Press
The Soviet press blossomed
today with stories of the May
incident and photographs OF
the plane wreckage. They de-
scribed the quick reaction when
a radio locator spotted the
plane. The stories did not give
the exact location, except to say
it was near the southern border
of the Soviet Union.
Pravda, after a brief de-
scription Of the alert. said 1.-The
fight did not continue long
Soon it was evident to every
one that the target was shot
down. The bandit received his
just desserts. The same fate
will happen to anyone who
tries to violate clear Soviet
skies"
Komsomol Pravda noted that
the incursion occurred on May
Day-the Soviet Unions big
gest holiday-and said:
IF the aggressor thought
vigilance would be weakened
over May Day he miscalculated.
The plane was detected the
moment it crossed our border" !"

Soviet Asserts

MOSCOW, May 6 CAP).-
Marshal Andrei A. Grechko
told the Supreme Soviet today
that the American plan e
brought down May was de-
stroyed on the first shot by a
remarkable rocket" fired on
Premier Khrushchev's personal
lorders.
Marshal Grechko, who for
merly commanded SoVie {
troops in Germany, charged
the American plane was max
ling an attempt to probe our
ldefenses and test our readiness
to give devastating repulse to
an aggressor."
He said rocket forces such
as that which shot down the
American plane have become
the main component of our
armed forces. Separate rocket
units have been set up with
their own command and sep
arate organizational structure. "
The marShal's current job
was identified only as a high
post" and there was specula-
ton among diplomats watch
ing the Supreme Soviet session
that Marshal Grechko COM
mands the rocket units he men
toned.
Burst Into Applause
Deputies at the pre-summit
meeting of the Soviet Parlia-
ment burst into wild applause
when he said the American
plane was destroyed by a re
markable rocket on the first
shot" They reacted similarly
when Premier Khrushchev an
nounced to them yesterday that
the plane had been shot down.
Soviet servicemen," Marshal
Grechko declared. fulfilled the
order of the Soviet government
with credit. Let the aggressorS
remember that we have enough
rockets"
The marshal said the order
to fire the rocket came from
the Soviet government and per-
sonally from Premier Khru-
shchev.
Apparently Mr.. Khrushchev
was reused early on May Day
to be told of the American
plane. Red Star, official Soviet
military publication. said an
anti-aircraft defense unit was
alerted just at dawn and the
plane was flying at a speed of
approximately $40 miles an
hour.
AS Marshal Grechko spoke in
parliament, Mr.. Khrushchev
and the rest of the ruling pres
idium sat directly behind him.
New Berlin Warning
Soviet Foreign Minister An
drei Gromyko warned again to-
day that the Soviet Union will
sign a separate peace treaty
with East Germany if the Big
Four powers fail to agree on an
alderman settlement.
Mr.. Gromyko also said the
Soviet Union and its Warsaw
pact allies will guard the East
German borders. He made it
plain the Soviet Union consid-
ers West Berlin would lie within
that off-limitS region, with ac-
cess to the city then to be con-
trolled by the East German re-
gime which the Allies refuse
to recognize.
Mr.. Gromyko, speaking to the
Supreme Soviet, was just as
firm in expressing determine
tion to drive the Western
powers out of West Berlin as
Mr.. Khrushchev was in his
speech at Baku 10 days ago.
Mr.. Gromyko also described
as nonsense" the suggestion
by the United States State De-
partment that the pilot of the
American plane shot down
May l may have been un-
conscious when he crossed the
frontier because of an oxygen
failure.
I'VE have spoken of several
other times when airplanes
crossed our borders, when
American pilots opened fire
against our planes" said Mr..
Gromyko. Shall we say they
were unconscious, too?"
This is a new problem for

hover stands this additiona
view:
There is some danger Mr.
Khrushchev may everyday hi;
hand and wreck summit con.
ference plans completely.
Mr.. Eisenhower has repeat
edly said he would not go tc
the summit under threat OF
.duress. While Mr.. Khrushchey
has not carried his present
anti-American campaign to
that point. his tactics suggest
the possibility that he could
do so.
The follow-up salvo fired by
a Khrushchev lieutenant be-
fore the Supreme Soviet in
Moscow today reinforced the
impression, based on Mr.. Khru-
shchev's opening blast yester-
day, that the Soviet leader has
embarked on a deliberate cam
paign.
