Russia Challenged To
Allow Twining Close
Look at Air Bases
Washington (U.R) President
Elsenhower has challenged Rus
sia to loosen its guard and let
Gen. Nathan F. Twining, U. S.
Air Force chief of staff, have a
good look at Soviet air bases.
That is the meaning of the
President's rejection of a tenta
tiv Soviet lnviation to all the
U. S. military chiefs of staff to
visit Russia this month. Govern
ment officials said the United
States will be happy to send its
top military leaders to the Soviet
Union later if Twining reports
he could see something worth
while during his forthcoming
trip to the Soviet Union.
Wouldn't B Interested
"If it's just a matter of drink
irg vodka and getting a stiff
neck from looking in the sky at
airplanes, we're not interested,"
one official said.
Twining, with Mr. Eisen
hower's approval, late last
month accepted a Russian invita
tion to visit Moscow June 24 for
the Soviet air force celebration.
He Is expected to be in the Soviet
Union about eight days.
The White House disclosed
Monday that Mr. Eisenhower
turned down a subsequent tenta
tive invitation for Twining's
colleagues on the Joint Chiefs of
Staff to join him. White House
Press Secretary James C. Hag-
erty saH the Russians were told
such a visit would be "imprac
ticable now." But the door waj
left open for a later visit.
Hagerty said the reply includ
ed two important conditions for
any future visit:
1. It is "not likely that more
than two members" of the joint
chiefs would visit Russia at any
one time.
2. Any visit "would be with
the understanding that their
schedule within the Soviet Union
would be so arranged as to per
mit maximum time outside Mos
cow ior visits to those activities
of special interest to their own
services."
Practice Rockets .
Fall From Jet Plane
Fairbanks, Alaska (U.R Six
practice rockets fell from the
rocket pod of an F89 Scorpion
jet here Monday and buried
themselves harmlessly in tne
ground.
A spokesman at Ladd Air
Force Base said the rockets can
tained no warheads and caused
no property damage when they
landed and buried themselves
in the earth in sparsely popu
la ted South Fairbanks.
Four planes from Ladd were
making rocket runs in prepara
tion for a rocket firing test when
the incident occurred. The
planes returned to Ladd and a
thorough check revealed no mal
functioning of the rocket launch
ing apparatus. The rockets were
being fired by means of radar
control.
Gen. T. Allan Bennett, com
mander of the 11th Air Division,
szid the only possible answer to
the incident was in an electronic
miscalculation in distance by the
controlling radar station.
