Khrushchev's story of shooting down an Ameri can spy plane is not complete ly correct. Official sources said the ad ministration is coming more and more to the conclusion thai the plane was not down ed with one shot of a "re markable rocket" from 65.000 feet as Khrushchev claimed, but probably lost altitude through mechanical failure and came within range of low er level anti-aircraft guns. These sources said the most probable theory is that a frag ment of anti aircraft fire damaged the plane and the pilot either landed or para chuted from a lower level. Concocts 'Fantastic Plot' Then, officials speculated, Khrushchev concocted a "fan tastic plot" to trap the United States into denying the recon naissance mission by imply ing with the rocket story that the pilot was dead. Judge Refuses To Quit Finch Hearing Los Angeles (UPB A Judge has refused to disqualify him self as prejudiced from hear ing the scheduled murder re trial May 23 of Dr. R. Bernard Finch and Carole Tregnff. Attorneys for Miss Troguff, 23, Tuesday filed an affidavit saying they believe they "can not get a fair and Impartial trial or hearing" If Superior Judge Le Roy Dawson pre sides as planned. . Dawson turned down the challenge which did not spe cify reasons for assuming pre judice on his part by saying he was not prejudiced. He also noted that Finch's attor ney had claimed prejudice in the first trial and had the hearing transferred to a dif ferent judge. Dawson pointed out that only one such chal lenge is permitted.

Nicotine Effects In Cancer Told By Physician Portland -IPC- The cancer- causing effects of nicotine were attested to here Tuesday by Dr. Oscar Auerbach of East Orange, N.J., senior medi cal Investigator of the Veter ans Hospital in East Orange and associate professor of pathology at New York Medi cal College.

Powers, parachut ed from 63,000 feet, the alti tude Kiiruatitlicv gave. Al though authorities said a jump from that height was feasible, they seemed to have reason to believe Powers bailed out at a much lower altitude. The Russians themselves first said the plane was only five miles up. Construction Fragile -The "fragile" construction of his plane, the Lockheed U-2. Officials said the plane is "almost a glider" and would have been completely demol ished by a rocket blast. If the Russians hit the plane, it is believed it more likely was a regular anti-aircraft shell that might have disabled the U-2. Officials said both the Na tional Aeronautics and Space Administration and the State Department acted in "good faith" when they first said that the plane was on a weath er mission from Turkey and might have crossed the Soviet frontier accidentally because of oxygen equipment failure. Sources said Secretary of State Christian A. Herter was given to believe this version was correct. They noted that the White House, while issu ing no statement itself, auth orized the State Department and NASA to Issue their statements. Russia Threatens U.S. Security if Flights Continue Moscow-IUPD-Russia warned today that if any more U.S. plancp are detected over So viet territory the Kremlin will take "more drastic action, perhaps involving "the securi ty of the United States." A Radio Moscow broadcast, beamed to the United States, recalled the shooting-down of an American reconnaissance plane over Russia on May Day. "The Soviet Union, like any self-respecting country, is not going to stand by and let this kind of thing happen again," the broadcast said. Take Drastic Action "If these American flights over our territory do not cease, the Soviet Union will be compelled to take more drastic action and the security of the United States will hard ly benefit." Today's edition of the Com munist organ Pravda assailed Secretary of State Christian A. Herter for his declaration that U.S. reconnaissance flights will continue until sat isfactory arrangements for prevention of surprise attack can be made. The government organ Iz vestia charged that U.S. bases in Turkey, Norway and Pak istan are "being used as ac tive springboards for armed provocations and diversionary escapades."

The Defense Department in Washington called off the shot shortly before midnight. No new date was announced for the attempt, but it was expect ed to be within a few days. Should the Atlas send its nose cone into the planned target area in the Indian Ocean off the tip of South Africa, it would be the long est flight to date for a mili tary rocket of any nation.

An Emotional Welcome Most of the crew's 130 wives and flocks of children in Sunday best crowded onto a Navy dock to join in an emotional welcome for the Navy's newest heroes. 'He's grown a beard," gasped a typical wife when the Triton glided into view. Children by the dozen scream ed 'Hi, daddy." The crew was lined up at attention on the narrow deck for a ceremonial welcome be fiting the great sub but broad smiles broke through the stiff discipline. There was a chill, steady drizzle at this Atlantic naval base and Secretary of the Navy William B.'Franke was an hour late arriving. Bad weather diverted his plane. Franke revealed on arrival that the Triton had encoun tered one close scrape during the voyage - an oil leak that threatened fire. The secretary presented a citation to Tor pedoman 3rd Class Alan W. Steele, Clarksburg, Md., for plugging it. Only Serious Incident The leak, April 25, appar ently was the only serious in cident on the whole voyage, Triton's first mission since her recent commissioning. The men of the Triton had been around the world sub merged on a 41,500 mile voy age of tremendous strategic importance, a feat coming at a time when a boost to Amer ican prestige and morale was most welcome.
