Dulles Said U.S. Would
Respect Protests Over
Weather Balloons
WASHINGTON, UP)—Secretary
of State Dulles said the United
States would be disposed to re
spect the protests of countries
which—like Russia—have object
ed to flights by American weather
balloons over their territory.
At the same time, however,
Dulles told a news conference he
believes this country has the right
to send such balloons anywhere
in the world.
Dulles said thousands of what
he called meteorological balloons
have been released by the United
States in the Pacific, North Amer
ica and western Europe. He said
they probably have crossed the
territories of 20 or 30 countries.
Dulles said he did not know
just what international law would
apply, but that he thought the
whole problem might be the sub
ect for consideration among gov
ernments.
