At a news conference, the sec retary of state said there is ten sion in the world now and the things the Russians are doing are far from helpful. He accused the Soviets of try ing to stir up trouble in several areas, citing their stand on the Baltic airplane incident, their accusations against the western powers over - Trieste and their renewed demands for special rights in the Dardanelles strait. In response to a question, Acheson also came out against any public congressional inves tigation of U. S. policy in Ger many such as has been pro posed by Senator Gillette (D. Iowa). Acheson said the members of congress can find out all they want to know about German policy without public hearings. On the Russians, Acheson: 1. Declared the Soviet charges that an American B-29 airplane violated Soviet territory and fired at Red fighter aircraft are "fictitious allegations." He said the Russians know they are not true. 2. Restated American opposi tion to Russian demands for spe cial rights in the Turkish-con trolled Dardanelles. A renew al of these demands was made by the Soviet navy newspaper. Red Fleet, a few days ago. 3. Assailed Soviet accusations that the western allies are sup pressing human rights and es tablishing military and naval bases in Trieste. Acheson called that "nonsense" and a repeti tion of a number of outworn arguments with the addition of some new wholly false allega tions of violations of the Italian peace treaty."
