Russians Charge
U.S. Patrol Plane
Opened Fire First
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Russia
claims that the American patrol
bomber which Soviet fighters
fired on in the Far East, opened
fire first when the Red fliers
sought to force it to land. The
American plane has been missing
since the encounter.
The . Russian charge was dis
closed Saturday with publication
by the State Department of the
protest which deputy foreign min
ister Andrei Gromyko handed to
American diplomat Hugh S. Cum
ming, Jr., in Moscow, Nov. 7.
This country countered in Paris
with an accusation in the United
Nations that Soviet aircraft at
tacked the patrol craft without
warning while it was flying over
international waters off Siberia.
The Russian version was that
the twin-engine bomber flew over
the Soviet border in the area of
Cape Ostrovnaya, on the Sea of
Japan, about 80 miles east of
Vladivosfock on Nov. 2.
Two fighter planes approached
the aircraft “with the intention of
forcing the American plane,
which had violated Soviet state
frontiers, to land on a Soviet air
port,” Gromyko told Camming.
“The American airplane opened
fire on them,” the protest contin
ued. “The Soviet airplanes were
forced to return fire, after which
the American airplane went off
in the direction of the sea and
disappeared.”
Gen. Ridgway asserted the
plane was on a route that did not
approach closer than 40 miles to
Russian territory and the crew
had strict orders not to get closer
than 20 miles under any circum
stanes.
Crackers Really
Blow This Safe
INDIANAPOLIS, (/P) — Safe
crackers succeeded too well in
blowing open a safe in a filling
station southwest of Indianapolis
Friday.
State trooper Jack Larsen said
they used so much nitroglycerine
that $35 in currency was de
stroyed. Nickels and dimes were
blown through a soft drink, ven
dor, and quarters were blown
through the walls and 30 feet
down the alley. The safe com
bination hasn’t been found yet.

I Five Die In Blazing Wreck
Two Union Pacific Trains
ORCHARD, Idaho, (/P) — Five
crewmen were killed yesterday in
the collision of two Union Pa
cific freight trains, a collision so
violent that a huge overhead
trestle plunged to earth, squash
ing a diesel power unit.
The westbound freight, moving
slowly but with the momentum of
63 loaded coal cars behind it,
slammed into the front of the
| halted eastbound train.
Oil from smashed diesel tanks
spewed over the tangled wreck
age, stacked 30 feet high. It min
gled with coal from tangled
freight cars, and blazed briefly !
i !
into a fire which charred beyond j
! recognition the bodies of four of j
the victims.

Court Upholds PAA $75
Fare Fairbanks-Seattle
WASHINGTON, (/P)—The U.S.
Court of Appeals, Friday upheld
the Civil Aeronautics Board’s
handling of a case involving a re
duced air fare from Fairbanks to
Seattle.
The Board, in October, 1950, al
lowed Pan American World Air
ways to put into effect a $75 fare
on cargo planes from Fairbanks
to Seattle. Air Transport Associ
ates asked the board to suspend
the fare, then went to court when
the board refused.
The board, however, has pend
ing an investigation of this and
otht \ fares.
The court said it found no error
in the board’s findings in the
case, including its refusal to sus
pend the $75 fare.
