Shot Down
MOSCOW, t/P)—’The authorita
tive Soviet weekly New Times,
charged today that the Baltic Sea
plane incident was deliberately
prepared by the United States as
an international provocation.
The weekly, which comments
on foreign policy matters, charged
that the United States has rescue
planes waiting in Denmark even
before the U. S. plane involved in
the incident had taken off from
Wiesbaden April 8.
<The United States directed a
sharp note to Moscow yesterday
charging that Soviet fig h t e r
planes fired on an unarmed U. S.
navy Privateer over the open Bal
tic Sea and thus violated interna
tional law. The U. S. note de
manded punishment for those re
sponsible and payment of indem
nity for the 10 Americans who
apparently lost their lives in the
incident.)
New Times said the incident
was a “plain international provo
cation,” and described it as “train
ing in the fabric of international
incidents.”
The article contended that the
Americans themselves had dis
proved their claim that die U. S.
plane could not have crossed the
Soviet border. This was demon
strated. it said, by the sending of
the largest group of American
search planes to the Soviet shores
of the Baltic.,
New Times added that many
airmen laughed at the idea that
the plane might have gone 350
miles off its course through a
navigation mistake.
If the American plane had been
in distress, the weekly said, it
would have welcomed the Soviet
invitation to land. Instead, it said,
the plane fired on the Soviet
planes.

Present Annual
Play April 27
The High School is presenting
three-act comedy, April 27, in the
High School Gym.
The play, “The Boarding House
Reach,” is centered around Wil
bur Maxwell a lad of thirteen
years, who has his heart set on
getting a bicycle. His parents are
called out of town on business,
and the house is left in care of
the children, and of course Wil
bur, who is most enterprising, de
cides to go into the boarding
house business for a week, and
thus make enough for his cher
ished bicycle.
As the i-esult of an ad in the
newspaper the house is soon
crawling with strange people. The
occupants are an odd group with j
Lucy Burns, a sort of walking en
cyclopaedia; Mrs. Mott, who
never has a word to say; Ninety
Volt Jones, a beat-up pug and his
wrestling wife, Ruby; Mr. Potter,
an insurance salesman: and Lim- j
pv McGuire and his wife, Nora.j
Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell surprise
the household by an unexpected
return, and the action moves
along at a rapid pace, coming to
a satisfactory climax with amaz- '
ing results.

After 1() Years
In Iron Lmi"
POUGHKEEPSIE, X. Y. (JP) —
Death Monday took 32-year-old
Birdsall Sweet out of the iron
lung that kept him breathing dur
ing 19 years of polio.
He had lived in an iron lung
longer than any other human in
medical history.
The young man's release came at
the end of a slow decline that be
gan last summer and grew more
serious two months ago. Doctors
called it “complications of long
established polio."
Sweet’s father and mother, who
spent a good part of their own
lives serving their imprisoned
son, were with him when he died.
"They have been a marvelously
attentive family,” the physician,
Dr. Scott Lord Smith, said. The
father, Percy Sweet, is a Beaconr
N. Y., real estate man.
Sweet was stricken with polio
when he was 13 years old.
