Soviet Union Rejects U. S. Protest Note Rejects Protest Os Shooting Down Os U. S. Naval Plane MOSCOW (INS) — The Soviet Union has rejected a United Stales protest against the shooting down of an American naval plane off the Siberian coast last Saturday. In a note delivered to the U.S. embassy Wednesday night, Russia restated its position of last Sunday, when it protested an alleged American violation of Soviet air space. The U.S. had charged the attack — in which one member of Neptune patrol bomber’s 10-man crew was lost—was unwarranted and unprovoked.. The Soviet communication claimed the plane was not over the open sea “a» indicated in the American note, but over the territory of the Soviet- Union.” The Moscow government said the American actions “represent a flagrant violation of elemantary standards of international law,” and added: "They cannot be considered otherwise than provocations calculated to sharpen the situation in the Far. East.” The note also insisted that the U.S. take “necessary measures to not permit future violation of the state borders of the Soviet Union by American aircraft." The attack on the U.S. plane by two Soviet jet fighters was revealed by the Pentagon last Sunday. t Th*” state deportment sent two notes that day to Moscow, one protesting the attack, the other rejecting the Soviet note claiming that the American plane opened

fire first. The U.S. also*has made an oral request for a U.N. security council hearing of its charge of_ "jibwarranted Attack" by the Russians. Submission of the formal request which is needed before the council can be convoked has been held up pend i ngenoF-netiaslotsnu pending consultations with secretary of state John Foster Dulles, who is in the Far East.
