Flanders Message Said Sanctioned by Administration Washington U.R) Sen. Ralph E. Flanders' Thanksgiving Day message to Russia over the Voice of America was strictly in line -with administration policy, the United States Information Agency sad today. A spokesman added that the agency itself asSed Flanders to switch his choice of words and address his statement to the "Soviet people" rather than the "Russian people." The purpose, he said, was to avoid offending minority groups in Russia. Furor by Jenner Sen. William E. Jenner (R Ind.) kicked up a furor in the Senate Tuesday when he shout ed at Flanders, demanding to know what he meant "when he appealed to the Communist ty rants ... as my friends, my So viet brothers." He accused the Vermont Republican of "con torted, twisted thinking" and of helping spread "peaceful co existence propaganda." The USIA spokesman said the agency had asked Flanders to make a Thanksgiving Day broadcast to Russia after he had made several speeches on the need to get across to the Soviets "that we stand for peace." The message was recorded at Fland ers home in Springfield, Vt. "He originally referred to the 'Russian people' and we suggest ed that this be changed to 'So viet people in accordance witn administration policy,- the spokesman said. Message Translated Flanders' message on disarma ment plans proposed by the free world was trar slated for broad casting purpos3s into Russian, Armenian, Georgian, and Ukrainian. The spokesman said that people speaking languages other than Russian and living in their own provinces would have been "insulted" if they had been referred to as Russians. ' "What he said was very much in line with our foreign policy of real disarmament," peace, un derstanding and friendship with all peoples," the spokesman added. "Nothing he said is in conflict with the foreign policy of the United States or other Voice of America broadcasts."
