STRONG U.S. NOTE TO SOVIET
Charge That Unarmed Plane Was Shot Down AMERICAN ACCOUNT OF INCIDENT (N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 9 p.m.) WASHINGTON, April 19. A severe and continuing deterioration of relations between the United States and Russia is regarded as inevitable as a result of the United States demands on Russia, contained in * Note delivered in Moscow to-day, dealing with the Baltic Sea aeroplane incident, says Reuter’s correspondent. “Russia is expected to reject uncompromisingly the United States account of the incident and its demands. The United States Note is stronger than was generally predicted, and contains demands and reservations which the United States seems bound to carry further if it is rejected by the Soviet Union,” says the correspondent. “The Note leaves the way open for the United States to demand, at some future date, an apology, indemnity, and disciplinary punishment, which the Note only ‘confidently expects.’ ”
