Soviets Refuse
Nixon Flight
Across Siberia -
NEW YORK, tP> — The Soviets
have refused Vice President Nixon
permission to fly across Siberia in
an American plane on his visit to
the Soviet Union, the New York
Herald Tribune said last week.
Nixon, who is going to Moscow
later this month to open the U. S.
exhibition, wanted to return home
across Siberia by way of Alaska,
the paper’s Washington corres
pondent James E. Warner said.
The Soviets long have barred
foreigners from the Siberian Pa
cific coastline and the interior of
that region bordering on Commu
nist China.
An aide to Nixon, asked about
the reported Soviet action, said
that so far all he knew was the
question of flying across Siberia
still was in the discussion stage.
