Russians Protest
U. S. ‘Invention’ of
Cable Damage Act
LONDON, ff — The Soviet
Union yesterday sharply protested
the U. S. Navy’s boarding of a
Soviet trawler suspected of cut
ting a transatlantic cable off New
foundland.
Moscow Radio said a note
handed to U. S. Ambassador Llew
ellyn Thompson in Moscow de
!:cribed reports that the trawler
Novorossisk had damaged the
cables as “a complete invention.”
The boarding took place off
Newfoundland February 26. The
officer who headed the American
search party said that the fishing
boat “probably quite likely” had
something to do with the break
in the cables but he didn’t know
whether accidentally or intention
ally.
“The note,” said the - Moscow
broadcast, “points out that the
incident involving detention of
the Soviet trawler was undertaken
with provocative aims in mind.
“The Soviet government expects
the U. S. government to take all
necessary measures to prevent the
recurrence of such unwarranted
actions toward Soviet fishing
trawlers engaged in fishing in
the open seas.”
The note said the trawler “did
not cause any damage to under
water telegraph or telephone
transatlantic cables.”
“Reports in the U. S. press on
this question were a complete in
vention,” it declared.
The U. S. State Department had
notified Moscow immediately with
an explanation that the boarding
was carried out under terms of an
1884 treaty. This treaty — origi
nally signed by the Czarist re
gime but later subscribed to by
the Soviet Communist government
— permits inspection of docu
ments of ships suspected of dam
aging oceanic cables wilfully or
through culpable negligence.
THAT HANDY FIFTH . . .
_ DETROIT, ff — “How do you
plead — guilty or not guilty?”
said the judge when Anthony JJo
wak, 48, appeared before him on
a charge of driving without hav
ing his license on his person.
“I invoke the fifth amendment,
your honor,” replied Nowak.
The judge adjourned the case
for trial next Monday, and sighed:
“He has been watching TV too
much.”
