equipment,” the note declared. It
made no mention of casualties.
Barbour declined to accept the
note on the grounds the protest
was a matter for the United Na
tions to handle.
Gromkyo disagreed, arguing
that since the note dealt with the
firing by American planes on a
Soviet installation, it was the sole
concern of the two governments
involved.
The note subsequently was sent
by the Russians to the U. S. Em
bassy. U. S. ambassador Alan G.
Kirk, who had been in bed with
a cold, went there early this
morning to inform the state de
partment of the Soviet communi
cation.
It was published in Moscow pa
pers without editorial comment.
“In connection with these pro
vocative actions of the American i
air force, expressed in a gross vi- \
olation of the U. S. S. R. state
frontier, . . . and in firing on a
Soviet airdrome, the Soviet gov-,
ernment launches a resolute pro
test with the government of the
United States,” the note said. '
In refusing to accept the note,
Barbour took the same stand as
was taken by the United States
last September, when Russia pro
tested the downing of a Soviet
plane by American aircraft off
Korea.
That note was never accepted
by the United States, and Russia
submitted it to the United Nations
for consideration only, not for ac
i tion. It has remained shelved so
far.

The plan was introduced to the
political committee Monday by
Dullc-s, who left the door open for
possible Soviet participation. He
said:
i no representatives oi me sov

the United States now has ag
gressive and war-like intentions
which frighten them. If they real

want the protection that these
proposals will afford.”

floor on a point o*f order and as

Russia favored some of the points
in the sweeping program. He add
ed, however, that there would
have to be some amendments and
alterations.
Most observers had expected
outright Soviet apposition.
