United States Pledges Aid
Yn Case of Russian Attack,

Asks Allies
To Receive
Spy Planes
Answers Warnings
From Khrushchev
WASHINGTON W-The United
States pledged yesterday to go to
the aid of its allies which might
be attacked by Russia for allow-
ing American spy planes to use
its air bases.
At the same time, the State De-
partment accused Soviet Premier
Nikita S. Khrushchev of waging a
campaign of threats and intimi-
dation against small countries in-
nocent of any wrongdoing.
The State Department fired this
double-barreled reply to Khrush-
chev's threat to aim Soviet rockets
against any foreign bases which
serve as takeoff or landing points
for intelligence flights into Russia.
No Doubt Of Commitments
"There should be no doubt that
the United States will honor these
(defense treaty) commitments,"
the State Department said.
Chairman Clarence Cannon (D-
Mo) of the House Appropriations
Committee meanwhile reported
United States intelligence planes
have ranged as far as 1,300 miles
inside Russia in a series of espi-
onage flights since 1946.
Plane Forced Down
Cannon, who heard Central In-
telligence Chief Allen Dulles at a
secret briefing Monday, said the
high-altitude U2 plane had not
been shot down by a Soviet rocket
as Khrushchev claimed but was
forced down by "some unforeseen
and unavoidable mechanical 'or
physiological defect."
Assure Japan
The State Department also as-
sured Japan that future U2 flights
from Japanese bases would be
"ut-ilized only for legitimate and
normal purposes of weather ob-
servation.
This assurance was clearly aim-
ed at quieting the storm in the
Japanese Diet which is now con-
sidering ratification of a Japan-
ese-American security treaty.
No Plans For Address
James C. Hagerty, White House
press secretary, told newsmen that
the White House as of yesterday
had made no plans for Eisenhower
to address the nation before leav-
ing for Paris Saturday. Hagerty
did not rule out a broadcast.
The White House said Eisen-
hower will visit Japan and Korea
as scheduled next month even if
the internationally explosive plane
incident should lead him to cancel
plans for a trip to Russia. A White
House spokesman said prepara-
tions are still going forward for
the Russian visit.
Following up his claim that the
spy plane flew from Pakistan to-
ward Norway, Khrushchev told
foreign ambassadors at a diplo-
matic reception last night:
"Those countries that have bases
on their territories should note
most carefully the following:
Air Retaliation
"If they allow others to fly from
their bases to our territory we
shall hit at those bases."
Replying, Lincoln White, State
Department press officer, cor-
mented: "It is typical that the
Soviet government singles out as
the objectives of its threats those
smaller countries of the free world:
who bear no responsibility for the
recent incident."
White noted that the United
States has defense commitments
to many free world countries, both
as part of formal alliances and
separate two-way arrangements.
Khrushchev's Threat
The State Department spokes-

man was then asked what he
thought of Khrushchev's threat
to shoot down any American in-
telligence planes which fly over
the Soviet Union.
The main burden of Secretary
Herter's defense of the flights has
been that they were legitimate
moves by the nation to safeguard
its survival in an age when a sud-
den nuclear attack could devas-
tate the free world.

PLANE DESIGNER-C. L. Johnson, designer of the U2 plane
shot down over Russia, claims that the picture of the wreckage
released by Russia is a different plane.

Highly Praise
U.S. Position
Plane Builder Calls
Pictures 'Phonies'
By The Associated Press
Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D-
Tex) and Rep. Clarence Cannon
(D-Mo) drew warm applause in
the Senate and House for stoutly
defending the United States' Po-
sition that Russian makes it nec-
essary for America to spy on her.
Cannon declared that the
American spy plane captured May
1 was not shot down, as Russian
Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev has
claimed, but was forced down by
some unforeseen and unavoidable
mechanical or psychological de-
fect." The planeaand pilot evi-
dently. were both taken unlnjuTed,
he said.
Supports Plane Builder
Cannon thus gave support to
the view of the plane manufactur-
er, who said pictures the Russians
showed were not those of a U2.
From Moscow yesterday also came
a purported interview in the Sov-
iet army newspaper Red Star
quoting the pilot, Francis G. Pow-
ers, as saying he believed an ex-
plosion of his Jet engine, and not
a rocket, halted his flight.
C. L. (Kelly) Johnson, 50-year-
old designer of the plane the Rus-
sians claim they shot down inside
Soviet boundaries, told an inter-
viewer in Burbank, Cal.:
"I'm not saying they don't have
a U2. From what they say I ex-
pect they have. But the wreckage
shown in the photograph they re-
leased is not that of a U2 but of
a much heavier plane.
'Creziest Wreckage'
"That's the craziest 'wreckage' I
ever saw, and I've investigated
plane crashes over the past 25
years. This photograph looks like
they had shoved the pieces around
with a bulldozer.
"There is not a single identifi-
able piece of a U2 in that photo-
graph,' he said.
"Not only is the picture a
phony," he said yesterday, but
from what I know of the per-
formance of the U2 I doubt that
it was shot down either by a mis-
sile or another plane.

Atomic Sub:
Ends World
Record Trip
WASHINGTON W) - The big
gray hull of a submarine, scum-
streaked from 83 days submerg-
ence, surfaced off the Delaware
coast at dawn yesterday.
The USS Triton was back from
an epochal around-the-world voy-
age beneath all the earth's great
oceans.
The Triton, a hugea7,750-ton
sub powered with twin atomic en-
gines, had done in less than three
months what a sailing ship of,
Ferdinand Magellan's fleet had
done in a three-year cruise on top
of the water more than 420 years
ago.
Aboard the Triton on her 41,500
mile voyage-30,708 of it repre-
senting the circumnavigation
route-were 183 men, including a
half dozen scientists and technic-
ians.
In her cruise, the sub broke
several records. Her 83 days, 10
hours, 15 minutes submerged far
exceeded the 60 days submergence
record set two years ago by the
nuclear submarineSeawolf.
Sen. Clinton P. Anderson (D-
NM), chairman of the Senate-
House atomic energe committee,
saluted the Triton's voyage as a
"vivid demonstration" of the
United States' lead in nuclear
subs.
What the Triton learned on the
historic trip, said Capt. Edward
L. Beach, the ship's commander,
can be "extremely important to
the Polaris program." The Polaris
missile submarines must roam to
the far reaches of the oceans, nav-
igating by electronic and comput-
or guidance, to find their assigned
spots on which to stand guard
with their arsenal of hydrogen
missiles.

New Governor
Replaces Long
BATON ROUGE (PA - Jimmie
Houston Davis became the 41st
governor of Louisiana yesterday
in ceremonies that ended the
tragic, colorful term of Earl K.
Long.
The 58-year-old country music
singer vowed in a brief inaugural
talk to make a stubborn stand
against racial integration.
"We will preserve segregation,'
he promised. "We will maintain
our way of life without compro-
mise, without prejudice, without
violence.
"We will solve our problems on
our own terms without interfer-
encesfrom those outside our
borders." !
Earl Long, already making
sounds as if he plans to run again
in four years, rode with Gov. Davis
in the inaugural parade. He stole
much of the attention of some
10,000 persons attending the cere-'
mony on the steps of Louisiana's
skyscraper capitol, and of the thin
lines of spectators along the par-
ade route.
Davis hinted broadly at a pro-
gram of financial austerity for a
state which he said "has practi-
cally run out of money."
"We will meet expenses with
available revenues," he said.

pected to see a solution of all the
long-standing differences which
have divided East and West since
the war.
"But I shall go to Paris con-
ifdent that we have it in our power
to make a good beginning on the
more hopeful and fruitful road of
negotiation.
Workable Disarmament
"In particular I hope that we
can make some progress towards
agreement on a workable plan for
disarmament. Success there would
rid the world both of the fear of
these terrible modern weapons and
the crushing burden of their cost."
MacMillan sent a personal mes-
sage replying to a letter from
Khrushchev Monday on the ar-
rangements for the Summit meet-
ing. It came as a surprise. Earlier
MacMillan's aides said Khrush-
chev's message did not call for an
answer.
Khrushchev evidently had writ-
ten to Eisenhower, de Gaulle and
MacMillan in similar terms on
questions relating to the detailed-
mechanics of the conference. He
was replying to a communication
de Gaulle sent as host for the
talks.
