Reds Offer Proof
Of Aerial Spying
Moscow (U.R) Russia last
night rejected United States re
assurances that . only weather
balloons had been sent aloft in
Europe. The Russians offered, to
exhibit in New York, Washing
ton, .nd other western cities
their proof that the U. S. had
indulged in aerial spying.
The Soviet rejection and of
fer were contained in another of
a series of diplomatic exchang
es between the two nations aris
ing from a Soviet charge that
American authorities had sent
"espionage" balloons equipped
with automatic aerial cameras
and radio sets over Russia. i
The latest Soviet protest was
delivered Feb. 4..
, The U. S. reply denied the
Soviet charge, declaring that no
balloons other than those launch
ed for weather observations had
been sent aloft in Europe. The
U. S. Air Force announced it was
suspending its European balloon
.launching temporarily and the
United States assured Russia it
would strive to prevent any. fu
ture balloon flights -over; the
Soviet Union. '
Last night's Soviet note, how
ever, offered to prove by. exhi
bitions in western capitals that
the , balloons . were launched to
carry out aerial photo-recon-
'naissance of Soviet territory.
esffEighouse Maps
Plans for Appeal
Pittsburgh (U.R) Westing
house Electric corp., which blast
ed as "political" a decision grant
ing 23,000 strikers about S3,
000,000 in unemployment com
pensation, mapped plans Satur
day to appeal the ruling.
The State Department of La
bor and Industry said Friday
the 125-day Westinghouse strike
was a company "lockout." The
ruling made strikers eligible for
approximately eight weeks com
pensation for those who have al
ready served a one-week wait
ing period, and seven weeks for
those who have not. .' .
Westinghouse, which will
meet with the International Un
ion " of " - Electrical Workers in
Washington Monday in another
effort to end the bitter walkout,
termed the lockout charge "pre
posterous." -. ' "
Time Element Noted
"Even in the unlikely event
the ruling were upheld, the earl
iest that compensation could be
paid under the state's procedur
es is approximately two months
from now," the company said.
Appeal procedure from ' the
ruling will take company attor
neys before the unemployment
compensation referee, and possi
bly the Unemployment Compen
sation Board of Review and the
superior court.
State Labor Department Sec
retary John R. Torquato said
that "while the current stop
pages commenced as a strike,
with some elements of lockout
present the situation has chang
ed and a lockout has existed in
the ' Westin'ghouse plants in
Pennsylvania since Dec. 19,
1955." .
He said the state "considered
the company rejection" of a pro
posal by Gov. George M. Leader
and other governors that the em
ployees return to work at pre
vailing wages "and start all ov
er again in negotiations" was
a "lockout." The union had" ac
cepted Leader's proposal.
The company said the propos
al called for it and the IUE to
submit the strike issues to "final
al and binding arbitration." '
"Westinghouse was not will
ing at that time, and is not now,
to submit all the issues to arbi
tration or to ; across-the-board
fact-finding," the firm said. ,
If the labor department's com
pensation ruling is based' on
Leader's arbitration proposal, "it
means that any proposal by the
governor, no matter how fantas
tic or unreasonable, automatic
ally makes a strike a lockout if
the proposal is rejected by . an
employer," Westinghouse said.
"It is especially unfortunate
that this political move came on
the eve of resumption of negotia
tions in Washington Monday un
der the auspices of the Federal
Mediation and Conciliation Ser
vice," the company added.

tie a six-week walkout against
Western Airlines. ' :
:, The brotherhood informed the
850 striking clerks that the com
pany's $25-$35 monthly wage of
fer was turned down earlier in
the : week, because; . -; :j ;
X. Retroactive pay back to
last July 1 is only at the
