Soviets Accuse U.S.
Of Stalling Agreement
On Proposed Air Route
MOSCOW W) — A Soviet offi
cial accused the United States yes
terday of stalling on an agreement
for a Moscow-New York air route.
Biktor Danilychev, chief of the
International Division of the So
viet National Airline Aeroflot,
said the Kennedy administration
objected to Soviet flights to the
United States op grounds that
Aeroflot was not a commercial
airline but an adjunct of the So
viet Air Force.
This, Danilychev told Tass news
agency, was false and a slander.
Danilychev asserted official U.S.
quarters had frozen talks on the
proposed air route because they
want to prevent growth of busi
ness and tourist contacts between
the two countries. He also said
the United States does not have
an airliner capable of flying non
stop to Moscow.
Danilychev said that talks for a
regular service between the cities
were broken off by the Americans
in the summer of 1961 when the
Berlin crisis was at a peak. Since
then, he said, the Americans have
not expressed even once a desire
to sign the drafted agreement.
The Soviet turbo-prop TU-114
opened a non-stop service early
this year between Moscow and

U.S. Stands Pat
In Washington, The State De
partment repeated the stand the
United States had taken in 1961
when U.S.-Soviet air route nego
tiations were ended.
Press officer Lincoln White said
an air agreement was not signed
then “because of the international
situation.” And “the present situa
tion is still not considered appro
priate for the inauguration or re
ciprocal air services between New
York and Moscow,” he said.
White said “the presence of So
viet troops in Cuba” is one rea
son. He declined to name other
elements.
In 1961, Soviet pressures on Ber
lin were cited by U.S. authorities
as a reason for not signing an air
agreement.
Other U.S. authorities said it is
doubtful that the passenger travel
on a direct New York-Moscow
flight would be commercially pro
fitable to an airline at this point.
Crippled Military
Plane Skims Ocean
Back to Safety
HILO, Hawaii \J?\ — A crippled
military air transport service
plane carrying 85 persons skim
med nearly 1,200 miles over the
Pacific on two of four engines
Tuesday and landed safely.
It had only enough fuel for 13
more minutes of flying when it
touched down.
A third engine failed and a tire
blew as the big Super Constella
tion landed.
Two engine failures had forced
it to turn back from a California
flight only 20 minutes short of
the point of no return.
“The passengers acted very well
when told of the emergency; there
was no panic,” said Navy Lt.
Cmdr. Robert Ekelund,41, of Lor,
Altos, Calif., the plane command
er.
The passengers included five
service wives and nine children.
“We lost the No. 4 engine short
ly after midnight when we were
937 miles out of Honolulu,” he
said in review of the flight which
originated in Japan.
Ekelund was speaking of nau
tical miles. In statute miles the
distance was approximately 1,100.
“Ae we turned back to Hono
lulu, No. 3 froze. I was only 20
minutes short of the point of no
return (a noint iust bevond half

“The plane lost the No. 1 en

down and blew one of the dual
tires on the left landing gear.”
It was the fourth reported
emergency landing in Hawaii this
year.
