lishment of facts might disap-
pear," Mr. Pincus stressed. Eye-
witness accounts from the Greek
side of the border near the
scene of the crash speak of
"great activity" around the
wreck. While these accounts do
not reveal particulars of the
activity, they rule out investi-
gative activity, Mr. Pincus de-
clared.
The Israel government's pro-
test was contained in a note
handed the Bulgarian Charge
d'Affaires in Tel Aviv by Dr.
Walter Eytan, director general
of the Israel Foreign Ministry.
It was the second Israel note
of the day to Bulgaria; the
first lad requested information
about -the incident and had
asked assistance for the in-
quiry commission which was
already en route to Greece
through which it hoped to en-
ter Bulgaria. Arthur Lourie,
deputy director of the Foreign
Ministry, left for Sofia in con-
nection with the incident.
The second note said that "the
Israel government had heard
with amazement and horror the
Bulgarian government's state-
ment that Bulgarian security
forces had opened fire on and
shot down an El Al plane. The
Israel government," the note
continued, "registers its vehe-
ment protest at this shocking
recklessness leading to the de-
struction of the aircraft and the
loss of 58 lives. Since there can
have been no genuine difficulty
in identifying an unarmed, civi- '
Tian airliner of the familiar Con-
stellation type, the action of the
Bulgarian security forces can be
understood only as deriving from
a wanton disregard of human
life and the elementary obliga-

"The government of Israel de-
mands full satisfaction from the
Bulgarian government which it
holds responsible for what it
must regard as a grave interna-
tional delict (a legal term
meaning offense) and reserves
its right to take the necessary
steps to the end," the note
added."
U. S. Indignant at Attack
WASHINGTON (JTA) — The
State Department expressed both
its "deep regret" over the "great
loss of life" in the Israel air-
liner which "crashed in flames
on Bulgarian soil" and its "in-
dignation" at the shooting of the
civil airliner "even if it may
have been a few miles off its
course."
The Department said that this
incident is "repetitious" of the
"kind which we had earnestly
hoped would not reoccur." The
Department indicated that an
"appropriate communication to
Bulgarian authorities" with re-
gard to American lives which
were lost will be issued when
complete reports have been re-
ceived.
A State Department spokes-
man said that communications
are "difficult" and "slow" in
this • case since the crash oc-
curred in a country with
which the U. S. does not have
diplomatic relations. There-
fore the U. S. Government
will request the Swiss govern-
ment representatives to deliv-
er the "protest" for the U. S.
at Sofia.
Israel Ambassador Abba Eban
told Assistant Secretary of State
for Near Eastern Affairs George
V. Allen of his country's' "deep
sense of shock" over. "the loss
of so much human life" suffered
in the Israel plane crash in Bul-
garia. He also expressed appre-
ciation on behalf of his country
for the "many expressions of re-
gret" over the plane incident
he has received from the Ad-
ministration and from other
friendly countries.
. (The shooting down of the
Israel passenger plane by Bul-_
garian anti-aircraft gunners
was discussed in the British
Parliament in London when
members asked for 'informa-
tion concerning the tragedy.

nationality into the 'air space' of another has been a source of
friction between East and West for many years. Usually, the inci-
dents involve military planes, and usually the 'defending' Com-
munist aircraft are themselves outside of Red air space. The basic
evil, however, does not stem from the character of the planes
involved nor their precise position in respect to national boun-
daries. It is the fact that Red planes and anti-aircraft shoot first
and ask questions later.
"If there is to be peace in the skies, some more civilized
method of regulating air traffic will simply have to be accepted
by the Communist regimes. The alternative is the special alerting
of all Western military planes in the neighborhood of Red borders,
with orders to shoot-if threatened and, presumably, the convoying
of all civil aircraft flying similar routes. The West can no longer
condone murder in the air, even if it is accompanied by Communist
crocodile tears.
"There are methods available of exchanging recognition sig-
nals, of conveying warnings to planes off course, of escorting them
in the right direction. If genuine violations of air space V become
too common, redress and correction can be obtained through diplo-
matic channels. But when peaceful travelers on their lawful
occasions are shot down in flames, no words, no payment, are
adequate requittal.
"There should be an international convention drawn up to
provide a code of international behavior in the air, with appeal
to the International Court of Justice or some similar tribunal in
case of violation of boundaries. But no piratical attacks will be
tolerated."

The murderous act can not be recalled, but it is possible
for humanity to assert that there should be an end to such
horrors. If such acts recur again, then the gathering at
Geneva was a farce. We pray that it should not be so, and
that Bulgaria's murderous act should be the last in the series
of international massacres.
