Damages were sought for ihe loss of an F84 jet fighter near the boundary dividing the U.S. zone of Germany from Czechoslovakia March 10, 1953, The pilot, Lt. Warren G. Brown of Henderson, Colo,, parachuted to safety. 4,500-WOED NOTE He was flying one of two U.S. planes dispatched to look into the presence of a pair of Soviet-built MIG planes near Pilsen, on the border. The State Department de clared radar proved neither Am erican aircraft left the U.S. zone at any time. Thedepartment'sstrongly phras ed, 4,500-word note was delivered to the Czech Foreign Ministry m Prague three days ago. It sug gested that any dispute over the claim be placed before the Inter national Court of Justice. The U.S. claimed $235,349 tor the plane and equipment; $25,034 for the "willful and unlawful con- duet of the Czechoslovak govern ment"; $10,000 for the pilot, hos pitalized by the jump, and $1,000 for the second pilot, Capt, Donald c. Smith of Marvsville, Ohio, who evaded the MIGs and returned to his base unharmed, 'MALICIOUS' ATTACK Heretofore, the Czechs have in sisted the MIGs fired in self-defense after Brown's plane crossed into Czechoslovakia and refused to land as ordered. The unusually sharp U.S. note accused Czechoslovakia of "ma liciously" and without cause di recting the attack. It termed "contrary to the truth" Czech as sertions that the American jets flew into Czechoslovakia, ignored an order to land and opened fire.

Wert Uth from Butene River Control Dispute Flares NEW DELHI, India m The mutual need for Indus Biver ba sin waters has embroiled India and Pakistan in one of their bit terest disputes. Each nation Is heaping accu sations on fhe other in this strug gle for waters of the Indus and five tributaries vitally need ed by both for irrigation and power. The atmosphere has become so tense many Western diplomats are apprehensive India ana Pak istan may become irrevocably es-: tranged. IRRIGATION PLAN The long-smoldering Indus dis pute burst into flame last month. It began when India and Pakis tan gained their freedom in 1947. The division of the subcontinent, after the British left, placed the headwaters of the Indus Basin in Indian hanrds. However, the wat ers fed an intricate canal system irrigating millions of acres in side Pakistan's borders. Thus. Pakistan had the pipeline, but India controlled the taps. India said it needed the waters for its own irrigatioa system. Pakistan retorted it needed them to keep its fertile lands from re verting to desert. Two years ago the World Bank entered the dispute and got In dia to promise not to tamper with the Indus Basin in any way that would harm Faksstan, DAM OPENED Last spring the bank came up with a proposal, exact details of which have not been released. India accepted the recommenda tion, but when Pakistan wavered, the Indians said they no longer felt bound to hold up their own river development projects. On July 8, India's Prime Min ister Nehru pressed a button which opened the gates of the Nangai Dam, sending waters from the Eiver Sutlej into the Nangal-Bhakra canals, Pakistan angrily protested that India had violated international commit ments, Nehru and other Indian officials insisted they meant no harm to the Pakistanis, but as serted they had to go ahead with the development plans. I Pakistan goes without wat er it will not be our fault," one Indian official declared. "We have given them seven years to find alternate water supplies and they have done nothing.
