By GEORGE KITCHENX
Canadian Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON (CP) The United States and Russia traded verbal. long-distance blows Mon- day over who opened fire on whcm in an aerial skirmish be- tween American and Russi: mil- itary aircraft over the Baltic ea. The Kremlin got in the first punch with a Moscow broadcast protesting that a U.S. plane opened “unprovoked fire" on a Soviet fighter near Latvia more than a month ago. The broadcast was based on a Soviet note de- livered to the U.S. embassy in Moscow. ‘ The state department countered by accusing the Russians of “dreaming up" their charge and said in fact it was the Russian plane that opened fire on the U.S. aircraft. The American plane» it tadded, deliberately withheld its no.
