Survivors Rescued By, SovleLBoais

TOKYO (AP)-A survivor from a United States B-50 shot down Wednesday by two Russian MiG Jets says the big bomber was at- tacked 40 miles off the Siberian coast. Moscow has charged the plane was over Siberia near the big naval base of Vladivostok.

The state department in Wash- ington immediately sent off a pro- test to Moscow. It said it had in- formation that some of the 16 others aboard the bomber had been picked up by Russian vessels.

Capt. John Ernest Roche, co- pilot who spent 32 perilous hours in the water before rescue. told Far East air force headquarters Friday that the plane was no- where near the mainland.

He was backed up by Gen. 0. P. Weyland, air force commander in the Far East, who issued a terse statement saying "no American airplane has violated Soviet terri- tory.”

Roche was not. allowed to see correspondents. and the air force issued few details immediately. 'The state department said one or two MiG jets shot into the engines of the B-50 as it flew over the Sea of Japan setting one of the engines efire and forcing it to crash.

Search planes had sighted other survivors on a life raft. Fog closed in before they could be rescued. although large numbers of planes and ships searched the area.

The state department noted that Soviet vessels were spotted in the area, and its protest said informa- tion had been received that ”sur- vivors had been picked up by Sov- iet vessels".

Washington demanded the Russ- ians furnish infoi1nItt0n' on-5 -titer survivor-stand what plans have been made to release them.

It was at first thought Roche was the only survivor.

Roche was picked up by the U. S. destroyer Picking after he had spent 11 hours in a life belt in the water and 11 more on a life raft dropped by a search plane.

In their earlier protest note to Washington. the Russians said the bomber had violated Russian ter- ritory in the vicinity of Vladivos- tok. It said the bomber fired on two Soviet fighter planes that rose to intercept it, and that the Rue- sians returned the fire.

The Russians said the bomber then disappeared in the direction of the sea.

BERLIN, (AP) - Communist po- lice have seized 100 tons of United States-financed food from needy East. Germans heading home from West Berlin and distributed it to Soviet none welfare institutions as "soviet aid."

The seizures Friday, the first mass confiscation of the week, were concentrated in six Soviet zone suburbs around Berlin.

East Berlin police sent confis- cated American food packages to a warehouse on Gustav Adolf Stress. in Weiasensee borough. There police trucks loaded up the food again and took it to old people's homes and orphanages.

Red cloth banners on the trucks identified the food as Soviet. The Kremlin has an agreement with Premier Otto Grotewohl's Com-

The confiscetions began after a campaign of threats and props- ganda fsiled to keep hungry in- habitants of the soviet zone from streaming to the Allied sectors of Berlin to get for 31.19 a package of precious flour, fats and other food worth much more. Germans pass out the food to Germans. But all know the United States is foot- ing the 815,000,000 bill. The total of the packages delivered rose to about 850,000 Friday.

Will Not All-ow Nalionalhlie-Up

COBOURG (CF)-Prime Minis- ter St. Laurent said Friday his government will never allow a rail strike to tie up national trans- portation. .

He noted at an outdoor meeting here that the Progressive Conscr- vatives had criticized him for or- dering the railways and employees in 1050 to continue at work and settle their labor dispute through arbitration and not through strike. He had no reason to "blush" for rm.-mmending in 1950, with the unanimous approval of Parliament, that the rail companies and work-

again, he again would act to pre-, vent s. tie-up. But if there were electors who wanted a "cessation of transportation". then it was up to them "to kick us out and put someone else in".
