Evidence Clai used To Show
U2 Noi Hit by Russ Rocket
Washington - IVPD - U.S. in
telligence official! have pieced
together considerable evi
dence that Soviet Premier
Nikita S. 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

self as prejudiced from hear
ing the scheduled murder re

Attorneys for Miss Troguff,

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

the first trial and had the
hearing transferred to a dif
ferent judge. Dawson pointed
out that only one such chal
lenge is permitted.

Officials said doubts over
Khrushchev's story began
with two points:
-Skepticism that the pilot,
Francis C. 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

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 Air Force Tuesday night
again postponed its heralded
plans to fire an Atlas inter
continental ballistic missile on
a record B.uuO-mile flight to
the Indian Ocean.
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

revelation that the 177 under
water Magellans, "missing-'
for 80 days, had made history
with a HI. 500-mile submerged
circumavigation of the globe.
lne second was tne beards
that crewmen grew
during
in the
I nearly three months
busy interior of the world's
biggest submarine.
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.
All but 47 of the Triton's
crew are married and their
wives had been without word
since the world's sub sailed
Feb. 16. Not until Capt. Ed
ward L. Beach opened his
sealed orders at sea did the
crew know their historic mis
sion.
Ceremony Scheduled
A gold-braid ceremony was
scheduled today at State Pier
in the Thames river to honor
the ship's company including
six technicians who made the
trip on the same route Ferdi
nand Magellan's expedition
took 440 years ago.
The crew was awarded a
Presidential Citation today.
