U.S. Rejects Red
Complaint lt*s
Ships are Buzzed
WASHINGTON, IjP — The
United States accused Russia yes
terday of making “a reckless
threat of aggressive action” in its
protest against the alleged buzz
ing of Soviet ships by American
planes.
In a formal note the State De
parment vigorously rejected Rus
sian’s complaint that aerial in
spection of Soviet ships violates
the international law and freedom
of the seas.
Russia claimed in a note sent
eight days ago that U.S. planes
on 250 instances have made low
level dangerous passes over So
viet ships.
The State Department noted in
its complaint the Soviets said it
would be obliged “to take other
measures which will be necessary
to ensure the safety of navigation
of Soviet vessels in open seas.”
In its reply, the State Depart
ment fired this blast against the
Russians for using such language:
“This can not be interpreted
other than as a reckless threat of
aggressive action against the
United States airreaft proceeding
on legitimate flights over inter
national waters.”

drove men to Alaska and Hawaii
must be awakened again in the

maintain our position as a leader

Court Rules Hoffa Can't
Be Ousted From Union
Except Bv The Members
WASHINGTON, UP—'The U. S.
Court of Appeals has refused to
bar a hearing to determine whe
ther Teamster Union President
James R. Hoffa mishandled union
funds. But it also rules the dis
trict court may not remove union
officials.
Hoffa partisans in the big, scan
dal-plagued union claimed a vic
tory over those seeking to throw
Hoffa out of office. A union of
ficial said the ruling on removal
of officers means Hoffa cannot
be ousted except by the members
themselves.
Contentions of mishandling
union funds were made by court
appointed monitors supervising
the union.
Hoffa also had asked the court
to order that a Teamster conven
tion be called so that the mem
bers could decide for themselves
who they want as their officers.
The court refused to do this.
However, it did say the time has
come to prepare the way for a
convention and election. The court
said it might not be necessary to
meet all the terms set in the orig
inal court order establishing the
monitorship before there could be
a convention.
