Soviet Strategy May Be a Meeting
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — American officials said today Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev may be trying to stampade President Kennedy into a Summit conference by increasing tension over Berlin.
That could be one explanation, they said, for Soviet harassment of Allied air traffic to the city at the very time Khrushchev is plugging for a top-level meeting to establish better relations.
THE UNITED STATES, Britain and France warned Russian yesterday they would take "necessary action" to insure the safety of their planes unless Soviet fighters stop 'aggressive and dangerous' passes in the three air corridors from West Germany to Red-encircled West Berlin
In identical notes, the three Allies said Russian was running the "gravest of risks" by trying to exclude Allied traffic from the corridors during specific periods.
KENNEDY SAID WEDNESDAY he would think a Summit conference worthwhile only if it promised real progress on critical issues or "if there was a major crisis which threatened to involve us all in a war."
Some diplomats felt Khrushchev's current strategy might be directed toward bringing pressure on both points mentioned by the President.
Officials said two other possible explanations for the Russian efforts to restrict allied air traffic also occurred to them:—
- Khrushchev may be trying to see whether Allied preoccupation with a multitude of other matters has caused the Western powers to relax their firmness on Berlin.
- The Russians may be trying to build a record of incidents as a basis
Froshawks Will Help Run Poll
The Froshawks have agreed to help the Young Republicans conduct their Student Opinion Poll.
At a Froshawk meeting at 5 p.m. yesterday in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union, Blaine King, Emporia junior and chairman of the Student Opinion Poll Group, explained the Froshawk's part in conducting the poll.
King said that a large number of Froshawks would be needed to telephone students so that the poll could be conducted quickly. The Froshawks will telephone the students, explain what is being done, ask the questions and record the answers. King said that phones in the student organization offices in the Kansas Union will be used.
Peter Wellington, Kansas City, Mo., freshman and member of the Student Opinion Poll Group, will coordinate the activities of the group and the Froshawks.
for charging the West with violation of safe flying procedures in the corridors.
No matter what the Russian motives, American officials made it clear the United States would fight if necessary to preserve its war-won right of access to West Berlin. They said armed fighter escort planes were on "alert" status and indicated they would be sent aloft if the Soviet maneuvers continued.
THE WESTERN ALLIES are in complete agreement on contingency plans, including military action, if these become necessary to keep the three air corridors open, officials said.
In their notes to Moscow, the Western powers declared they would hold the Soviet government "responsible for the consequences of any incidents which might occur."
"The United States' aircraft will continue to fly in the corridors, set up after World War II," the American note declared. Officials said the British and French communications were identical.
THE NOTES CHARGED that Russia's harassment in the corridors during the past several days constituted a direct violation of two recent agreements to avoid just this sort of trouble.
Russian was told that its actions were incompatible with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko's apparent agreement in talks with President Kennedy and Secretary of State Dean Rusk "that both sides should refrain from actions that might aggravate international tensions."
The notes also said the Soviet air corridor harassment was incompatible with the "explicit commitment" against such actions in a joint U.S.-Russian statement of Sept. 30, 1961, on principles of disarmament negotiations.
