One Airman Killed;
10 Parachute To Safety
Tokyo U.R) -The pilot of an
American B29 plane, shot down
by Soviet MIG fighters yesterday
with the loss of one life, today
' was criticized by his command
ing officer for not ordering his
crew to return the Red fire. .
In Washington, the Air Force
identified the officer who lost
his life as 2nd Lt. Sigfredo An-
eulo, Los Angeles.
Col. Albert Welch, Dalton
City, 111., said the : Americans
were under orders to "fire jf
fired upon." He said "there must
have been some misunderstand
ing" and predicted a "different
reaction" if the Russians repeat
their offense.
Captain's Reason
Capt. Anthony F. Feith, Ches
ter, Pa., told a press conference
he withheld fire, .. "because I
thought we might be able to
finish" the plane's photo-recon-naissance
mission.
: "We (Welch and Feith) are
going to have a talk," his com
manding officer commented.
Feith and his 10-man crew
were on their first aerial map
ping mission over northern" Ja
pan when two Russian MIGs
came out of the sun and sent the
four-engine plane.downa,,.in
flames. . :;'t "-".;' '. ' 7'r-'-.
10 Parachute Safely y
; Ten of the 11 crewmen aboard
parachuted to safety.
The lone casualty was the
36th American to die in unpro
voked MIG attacks over north
ern Japan in the past three
years; Eight other lives were
lost at almost the same spot in
October, Ji1952, when.: Russian
MIGs shot down another B29.
Gen. John E. Hull, supreme
American commander in the
Far East, denounced Sunday's
- MIG attack.
Over Free Territory V
f "Any claim by the Soviet at
tackers that the plane was over
what they consider their terri
tory is completely negated by
the fall of the plane and of the
survivors who parachuted from
it on Hokkaido soil," Hull said.
The attack occurred ' shortly
before Soviet Premier Georgi M
Molotov, at a lavish reception
for foreign diplomats in Moscow,
spoke of peace and . of friend-
. ship with the United States. ,

man to spot the MIGs, said he

IKE SAYS PEACE CHANCES GOOD
United States Asks
Soviet Reparation
For Downing Plane
Washington U.R) The United States today demanded that
the Soviet Union "make all such moral and materal reparations"
in its power for the shooting down of an American B29 bomber
over Japan by two Soviet fighters
' In a brief protest note delivered in Moscow by U.S. Ambassa
dor Charles E. Bohlen, the United States said the attack occurred
over "Japanese territory in the Hokkaido area."
"The U.S. government strongly protests this action," the note
said. "It will expect the Soviet government to make all such moral
and material reparations as lies within its power." '
State Department spokesman Henry Suydam said the language
of the note meant the United States intends to file "a full and
complete claim" against the Soviet Union ror the action. Suydam
said further investigation will be required before such a claim
can be made.
Further Communication
With Russia Promised
Ten of the 11 crew members
of the B29 . bomber parachuted
to safety, but the 11th died. The
plane went down in flames after
being shot up while on a routine
aerial ' mapping flight.
- The U. S. note said, "The U.

ernment when the facts regard

In past similar cases, the
United States has followed the
practice of firing a brief initial
protest to Russia and following
it up with a more detailed pro
test asking damages.
Suydam said the phrase "mor
al reparations can be taken to
mean an apology," and disci
plinary action against responsi
ble members of the Sovief air
force.
Several members of Congress
took a very serious view of the

Lentz switched his 50-caliber
machine guns into firing posi
tion and then waited for Feith's
order to return the fire.
But Feith said he did not or
der his crew to fire because "we
didn't complete our mission and
someone was going to have to
get those pictures. We thought
that we might be able to finish
the run."

iately challenged Mitchell to
"name the time, place and cir
cumstance" of any villification
by Nixon. Hall insisted Nixon,
in the campaign only "correctly
sought to inform the American
people concerning the vital issue
of internal security and the re
lentless threat of Communist in
filtration and subversion.''
While House Sends Feelers
president Jcjsennower mean
while was reported pouring oil
on the troubled waters. It; was
learned the White House already
has sent out "peace feelers" to
get the views of Democratic con
gressional leaders on what form
the President's "consultations"
with them should take. --

Supreme Court
To Settle
Arguments To Be i
Scheduled Soon
Washington U.R) The Su
preme Court today agreed to set
tie a dispute between the state
of Oregon and the federal gov
ernment over construction of a
dam at the Pelton site on the
Deschutes river in . Jefferson
county, Ore. - '.' - . . ...
: A lower court has upheld Ore
gon's objections to the project.
The Supreme Court will soon
schedule arguments on the case
and later hand down an opinion.
License Protested
The Federal , Power Commis
sion in 1951 granted a license to
the Portland General Electric
Company to build a 205-foot high
hydro-electric .dam on the non
navigable stream at a site owned
by the government. ,
However, Oregon protested
the project would seriously cur
tail the region's fish supply by
preventing salmon and steelhead
trout from going upstream, to
spawning grounds. :
The U. S. Ninth Circuit Court
of Appeals last February upheld
the state, ruling, that ownership
of the site did not give the gov
ernment power to use the river's
waters "contrary to the Oregon
State law."
Based on Land Act
The court based part of its
decision on the Desert Land Act
of 1877 which gave the states
power over non - navigable
streams ; and rivers flowing
through arid or semi-arid federally-owned
land. - .
The government contended
construction of the dam would
help alleviate the power short
age in the Northwest and that
the project included facilities for
le conservation- and. ."possible
enhancement"- . of the stream's
fish resources.

Washington (U.R) Sen. .
Joseph R. McCarthy plunged the
Senate into bitter debate today
at the very outset , of its special
session to act on censure charges
against hira. .
What had-been billed as a
brief, routine opening session
turned into -a stormy quarrel
when McCarthy challenged ef-
forts by Sen. Arthur V. Watkins
(R-Utah) to file a .''corrected" .
copy of the censure report.
The unanimous report by. a
six-man committee headed by
Watkiris recommended, that Mc- -
Car thy be formally rebuked on
two counts.
: McCarthy N objected that it .
would be "completely unfair", to .
allow the Watkins committee to
make last 4 minute . changes in
what he called - its . 'imbecilic"
report. . ;' . -; '.::-'.' ':"? ;
Peace Restored - 4 : '
- Watkins snapped ; back that .
the changes were all minor, and
mainly ; involved corrections of w
typographical errors and the
deletion of four or five lines
containing an ."obvious error.''
The - give : and take between
McCarthy and Watkins, . with
other senators coming in from
time to time, ended only when
the Senate unanimously adopted
a motion by Sen. Homer E. Cape
hart (R-Ind.) to have copies of
the revised report printed in a
form that would clearly show -where
changes had been made
from the original version. Wat-,
kins said he strongly favored
this procedure.
: After the report was f iled, the
hotly disputed change was" re
vealed to concern only, the Cen- ,
sure Committee's interpretation
cf a Senate rule, and McCarthy
called it "minor."
Senate Republican Leader Wil
liam F. Knowland of California,
who had hoped when the; ses
sion began at noon that it would
last only a few minutes; finally
recessed the Senate at 1:20 p.m.
