April 20, 19503 DECATUR HERALD NATIONAL 5 Aroused Senate Praises Fliers Lost in Baltic Washington, April 19 (AP). The Senate in a mood of cold fury unanimously voted praise and decorations today for the 10 U. S. airmen lost in what this country calls a Russian attack on an unarmed plane over the Baltic. The vote of 66 to nothing was preceded by denunciations of the Russian action as "criminal" and "barbarous" and by demands for steps to see that nothing of the sort happens again.

IT FOLLOWED by about an hour a contemptuous State department dismissal of a. Russian charge that the American plane was on a mission of deliberate provocation. Michael McDermott, department, press officer, told a news conference he had read the story, which appeared in the controlled Moscow magazine New Times, but had "pretty much forgotten what lies they told." He described the magazine itself as "beyond contempt." Only Tuesday the State department fired back a harshly worded counter-protest in response to Moscow's charge that the plane violated Soviet territory and attacked interceptors. Meanwhile unofficial backing for the U. S.

view that the plane was downed over the open sea came from American air force officers in Germany. THE SHIP belieyed to be involved was a navy Privateer which took off from Wiesbaden April 8 on what U. S. officials report as a routine training flight to Copenhagen. It was not heard from after it crossed the German coast.

The U. S. version is that it carried no weapons with which it could make such an attack as the Russians reported. American airmen at Wiesbaden said the plane, with a crusing speed of 175 miles an hour, would have had to make a "beeline" flight with heavy tailwinds to reach the Latvian area where the Russians said the encounter took place, at the reported time. Actually, the officers said, it was to follow an angular "dogleg" course which would have made it impossible.

Sen. Scott Lucas (D-Ill), the Democratic leader, set off the Senate reaction today with a call for condemnation of "a ruthless action by barbarous forces." OFFERING the resolution to decorate the American fliers posthumously, Lucas said the "criminal action" was a challenge to nations of the free world. On that ground he called for the bipartisan support which he got. Sen. Karl Mundt (R-SD) suggested a formal protest through the United Nations.

He said this country should "do more than pass resolutions." Lucas agreed that might be a wise thing but said the State department has taken vigorous action. The resolution, requiring House action, will demonstrate to the world that Congress. as a whole is in back of the U. S. stand, he said.

There was little prospect that House action will come in less than two weeks. Until the House is through with an appropriation bill it would take unanimous consent there to bring up anything else.
