LONDON LR - Moscow radio said Monday night it telephoned the Pentagon in Washington to check a London newspaper re- port that American U-2 planes are engaging in reconnaissance flights near the Soviet mainland.
 It didn't get far with it's call, Moscow admitted. It said the man at the Pentagon who answered confessed he didn't know any thing about the flights.
 The report appeared in the Lon don Evening News June 23. The newspapers correspondent, ca bling from Smugglers' Cove, Alaska, reported that U-2's are flying only 55 miles from Rus sian territory, testing photo graphic equipment and making routine equipment checks.
 Many of the flights are harm less weather patrols, said the News, and added:
 But photographing Russ ia n territory from an oblique angle is not difficult
 In Washington, a spokesman said there would be no comment from the Pentagon on the Moscow radio broadcast.
 However, the spokesman said the Air Force had prepared the following statement Friday after hearing of the London Evening News report.
 U-2s Are Not Grounded
 "The U-2's have not been grounded. They still are being used as flying laboratories for meteorological studies, high alti- tude air sampling and other re- search programs. Flights are made

Senate Passes
 Kennedy's Social Security Benefits

WASHINGTON R - President Kennedy's bill to increase Social Security benefits has won Senate passage following a promise by Democratic leaders to bring up later this summer a medical care program for the aged.
 The measure, passed Monday 90 to 0, now goes to a House-Senate conference committee to iron out minor differences.
 It would let men retire at age 62 under Social Security, boost the minimum monthly check from $33 to $40, raise widows benefits by 10 per cent and add 160,000 persons to benefit rolls.
 An expected fight over medical care for the aged failed to de- velop. A Republican proposal was withdrawn after Democratic as- surances the House would con- duct hearings on the subject next month.
 Sen. Jacob K. Javits, R-N.Y) chief sponsor of the COP plan served notice, however, that he would seek to force a vote on the issue before the 1861 session ends He said it should not be made 2 political football in 1862, ar election year.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

During the month of November 1859, Nome had the honor and the privilege of being selected host to the League of Alaska Cities con- vention. During this time there was large banquet held in honor of the city managers and visitors from all over the state. At this particular banquet, there was case of sparkling burgundy pur- chased by the City to be served at the banquet. The bill for this item was not presented to the City until June 1861, and the present council promptly approv- ed it as it was a legitimate out standing debt. It was purchased solely for the purpose stated here and was not dripping with venom as the public was lead to believe.

Moscow Radio Phones Pentagon
 Asks of U-2 Flights :. Somber Reply

from various bases in the United States, including the State of Alaska"
 The statement added that in formation on this research has been released. The Pentagon of ficial noted that the Air Force has said several times that U-2 flights are not made over the Soviet Union, and that both Presidents Eisenhower and Ken nedy had ordered that the flights not be resumed.
 The Evening News headline said, thirteen months after the Gary Powers incident the U-2 flies again."
 The headline referred to Fran cis Gary Powers, whose U-2 re- connaissance plane was shot down in the Sofiet Union May 1, 1860. A Russian court sentenced him to 10 years in prison on espion- age charges.
 Moscow called the Evening News story ominous and said: Decided to Check
 "We decided to check the Eve ming News report and phoned the U. S. Military Department, the Pentagon."
 An assistant to the U. s. Air Force Secretary reportedly an- sWered the phone. On the Mos COW radio newscast the assistants name came through as sounding like Col. John Bear.
 And this is how Moscow des- cribed the conversation:
 American voice: This is Col. Bear, I am executive officer to the secretary.
 Russian voice: MT. Bear, have you read the correspondence in the paper the Evening News of the flights of American U-2's near the frontiers of the Soviet Union?
 American voice: No, I have not read it myself.
 Then the Russian caller read to the man in the Pentagon an extract from the news report and asked if Bear could comment.
 American voice: I'm sorry, I just know nothing about it. I have no comment to make, I'm afraid.
 Russian voice: Who then can answer the question?
 American voice: I guess the State Department would handle that. I would suggest that they would be more familiar with it than we would.
 Apparently that was that, for Moscow said: "We did not ex- pect a reasonable answer from the Pentagon.
 'The Pentagon does not try to refute or confirm the reports of the world press of the provoca- tive actions of the U. s. military the broadcast said.
 The U. s. colonel referred to, may have been Col. John w. Baer, who was not available in Washington for comment.

Project Chariot Is Ready to Co.,

SEATTLE LR - Project Char tot, the Atomic Energy Commits sion's plan to test construction use of nuclear devices by exca- vating a harbor in Arctic Alaska, is ready to go" and can get moving by the spring of 1863, Sen. Henry Jackson told the Post-Intelligencer Monday.
 The Washington senator said the AEC is reviewing the safety aspects of the experiment and chances are good that the review, to be completed this fall, will be favorable. That would leave only the lifting of the nations self imposed nuclear test ban to get Chariot rolling.
 Jackson also disclosed, the newspaper said, that the AEC has made paper studies of possible future use of the peaceful atom in eXcavating new canals be- tween the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Using previous surveys of route possibilities, sites have been considered in Panama, Mex ico, Northern Columbia, Nicara- qua, and Costa Rica.
 The experimental Alaska site is near Cape Thompson on the Northwest Coast of Alaska north of Boring Straits. Technical plans are complete.
 If a favorable safety report is forthcoming in the fall, some funds will be made available in the 1862 budget, Jackson was quoted as saying, but the bulk of the funding will come in the 1863 budget.
 Jackson, chairman of the Sen ate Subcommittee on Nuclear Weapons, currently is taking secret testimony on the whole problem of nuclear testing.
 The AEC hopes to use Chariot's results on work on cost and con- struction of sea-level canals, har- bors, water diversion, mining, and even pits for disposal of wastes, Jackson said. It will pro- vide the substantial basic in formation" that is needed for a wide variety of so-called "plow- share" situations.
 AS for the test ban, Jackson said:
 "The test ban talks at Geneva have broken down completely. I, personally, feel we should under take nuclear testing for Flow share purposes, such as Project Chariot, and underground tests to improve our weapons posture in the light of the Soviet intran- sigence on this issue" So far as peaceful investiga- tions such as Chariot, he added, there is considerable feeling that they could be undertaken despite our unilateral nuclear test mora toriu1-1.
 'This would require proof on our part that it is not in any way part of the weapons develop ment program" he said. "In order to assure the world on this question, we, of course, could in- vite all interested nations to ob- serve the event in Alaska"
