Russian Planes
Fire On U. S.
Patrol Plane
WASHINGTON, Mar. 1, (/P)—
Government officials said that
two Russian fighter planes recent
ly fired on a U .S. patrol plane
after it flew over a Soviet airbase
at Port Arthur. These officials,
who declined direct attribution,
said some damage wos done to the
navy plane, but none of the eight
officers and men aboard were in
jured.
The incident occurred off the
China coast. The navy reported it
had taken up the matter with
Russian authorities in the China
area. The Russians here contend
the American plane had no right
to fly over the Port Arthur area,
since it is a fortified zone. The
view generally expressed by the
State department is that the Rus
sians may have been- within their
rights to take the action they did,
veen though the pilot may have
lost his bearings, he had no legal
right to fly over the area.
