Russia Withdraws
Charge Against
U. S. Arctic Flights
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., W—
Facing defeat, the Soviet Uniop
gave up a fight Monday night to
have the U. N. Security Council
demand a halt to Arctic flights
toward the Soviet frontier by
U. S. hydrogen bombers.
Soviet delegate Arkady A. So
bolev withdrew a resolution
claiming the American flights
risked nuclear war after nine of
the other 10 countries on the coun
cil had spoken against it in a
six-hour debate.
U. S. delegate Henry Cabot
Lodge said \ the flights of the
U. S. Strategic Air Command
were practice to keep up its de
terrent strength and “could not
possibly be the accidental causes
of war.” He asserted the flights
would continue.
Britain, Canada, Nationalist
China, Columbia, France, Iraq,
Japan and Panama sided with the
United States. The other coun
[ cil member Sweden, kept silent.
After Lodge proposed the
council dispose of the Russian
resolution before adjournment,
Sobolev twice failed with motions
to gain time by adjourning the
debate overnight. Only Sweden
voted with the Soviet ‘Union.
The Russian then withdrew
his resolution to censure the
United States, protesting Lodge
had sidestepped free discussion
and resorted “to the voting ma
chine.” The American delegate
denied the charges, saying, “the
simple fact was that the Soviet
Union did not have enough votes
to push its proposal through.”
Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei;
Gromyko had charged that U. S. |
bombers armed with nuclear
weapons were making repeated
flights across the Arctic toward
Russia in response to false radar
alerts. He said an error might
result in an attack which would
trigger an atomic war.
The U. S. government denied
Gromyko’s charge, asserting it
had a foolproof system to pre
vent an attack by mistake. The
State Department said it wel
comed a Security Council debate
on the Russian charge.

Congress Not Nuts
To Pass Military
Reorganization
WASHINGTON, UFi — Presi
dent Eisenhower said today it is
just as sensible to say Congress
is going nuts and will abolish
the Defense Department as it is
to contend that Eisenhower wants
a single military service.
Eisenhower angrily told a
questioner at his news conference
that his defense reorganization
plan—under bipartisan attack in
Congress—will not weaken the
individual services.
Eisenhower said he is asking
certain operational command
authority for the Secretary of
Defense and the joint chiefs of
staff but these services will not
be weakened by such a change.
Sarah McClendon, reporter for
several Texas newspapers, said
the charge had been made in Con
gress that Eisenhower’s plan could
lead to a situation where one man
would have a personal military
force.
Flushing, Eisenhower asked the
reporter whether she had read
the law he proposed.
When she replied she had,
Eisenhower said no, she had not.
It would be just as sensible "to
say that Congress is going nuts
and will abolish the Defense De
partment as to say his plan will
set up a single service, the Pres
ident said. He added that he
was not doing that.
