Around the World:
Nehru Refuses U.S. Right to Fly Over India
By UNITED PRESS
India's Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru posted a 3,000-mile detour sign today in the path of American pilots ferrying French troops from Paris and North Africa to Indochina.
Mr. Nehru added the extra mileage to the longest airlift in history by refusing to permit the giant C-124 Globemasters to fly over India on their way to the war-torn Southeast Asian nation.
If the Globemasters stop at Karachi, in Pakistan next door to India, the pilots will have to take the circuitous route around the subcontinent. They cannot take a northern route from Karachi without flying over Red China.
American Air Force authorities met in Wiesbaden, Germany and announced later that Nehru need not fear. None of the planes would fly over or land in India, a spokesman said.
Other international developments:
CANBERRA - Victor Antonov, described as the key man in a Soviet spy ring in Australia, was hiding out in the Soviet embassy. Antonov, a correspondent for the Soviet news agency Tass, disappeared from his apartment in Sydney two days before Soviet Spy chief Vladimir Petrov asked Australia for asylum and produced evidence of the ring's existence.
PARIS—British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden flew to Paris for conferences with Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault before going to the Geneva conference on Far Eastern affairs.
NAPLES —Atomic Scientist Bernard J. Peters denied a statement attributed to U.S. atomic Wizard J. Robert Oppenheimer that he is "quite Red and a dangerous man." Mr. Peters, now attached to a Bombay institute, said he is not and never has been a Communist or a member of a left-wing organization.
LONDON—American-hating Aneurin (Nye) Bevan charged that the United States wants war because its military power is greater than its diplomatic influence. The left-wing labor party leader said that because of this the Geneva conference beginning next Monday may become a "carefully arranged failure."
