PROVOCATION CHARGE
U.S. Strategic Air Command
(Rec. 8 p.m.) LONDON, July 3. Moscow Radio declared today that Washington was not telling the truth when it said that the United States Strategic Air Command was not committing acta of provocation towards the Soviet Union. “This time the Strategic Air Command has been caught redhanded,” the radio said referring to the nine United States airmen seized in East Germany when their helicopter landed in a storm. The radio said the work of such planes obviously Included “meteorological and radiation reconnaissance and the photographing of border areas of our country from great heights.” It said the Soviet Government also connected the question of intercontinental missiles with American war bases on alien ter* ritory and had every reason to be apprehensive. The radio suggested “doing away with bases on alien territory and banning Intercontinental missiles at the same time.”
