British Claim
Plane Shooting
Is Plain Rnrder
BERLIN (IP) Britain ac
cused Soviet airmen today
of “murder” in the shooting
down of a British bomber
by Soviet MIG jet fighters
with the loss of six lives,
partv nter cou iP‘H osK t
D 1 Britain’s strong protest charged
the fatal attack on the plane was
a “deliberate and brutal act of ag
gression Invblving the murder of
British airmen.”
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
conferred with his top advisers on
the note and presumably took a
personal hand in its wording.
The protest was made today In
a letter from British High Com
missioner Sir Ivone Kirkpatrick to
the Soviet comimnder in Germany
ijpGen. Vassily I. Chuikov.
Sir at. seven crew men of the
Royal Alp Force bomber wete kill
ed when the plane war shot down
yesterday near the British-Russian
zone border in Germany. A sev
enth man narachuted Into the Sov
iet Zone and the Russians said he
was in the hospital.
The British protest was made
shortly after the three Allied high
commissioners met In the Bonne
office of French High Commisslon
|er Andre Francois-Poncet.
w DISCUSS ATTACKS
The meeting was believed to dis
cuss attacks on British and Amer
ican aircraft in Germany this week
by Communist fighters—and pos
sible defensive measures to be tak-‘
en.
Kirkpatrick sent his letter to
Chuikov today shortly after he had
received one from the Soviet com
mander which charged the British
bomber had violated Communist
w Eastern Germany territory and,
w fired first at the Russian fighters.
A Royal Air Force spokesman
denied tile Russian claim the Lin
coln bomber was over the Soviet

ehowed the plane was over the
British zone at the time of the at

U. S. Demands Reds Apologize
Assembly Kills
Meter Vehicle
Imspeetkn Bill
RALEIGH OB -4 The
North Carolina Senate gave
sudden death today to an
attempt to restore the sys
tem of compulsory | motor
vehicle inspection, Without
a recorded vote.
The action came swiftly after
brief debate, o.i a voice vote. The
author, Sen. James H. Pou Bailey
Os Raleigh, and Sen. LunsfOrd Crew
of Halifax, were the principal op
posing figures.
“To me this bill is so obnoxious,
i I don’t think I would be), fair to
my conscience or my constituents
if I did not oppose it,” Cr€tv‘said.
Bagey said the bill would simply
enforce the motor vehicle safety
laws already on the books.
Bailey admitted that the inspec
tion law which was killed by th&
’General Assembly in 1049 was a
“terrific nuisance,” but he said the
legislation he proposed would elim
inate the “long lines at inspection
stations.” Bailey’s bill would have
allowed inspection at any time dur
ing a 12-month period.
Crew is a member of Bailey's
Judiciary committee which ap
proved the inspection bill Wednes- |
day by a 6-4 vote. Bailey had re
fused to allow a vote in open sess- I
ion on the legislation.
HELP GARAGES
Crew said “this law will do noth- I
ing except put 81,300,000 into the 1
pockets of garage men across the
state.” He said a survey in Texas t
showed that tire average car owner .
has to pay 84 for repairs to pass
each inspection. i
He said “if that proved true in *
North Carolina, garage men would i
profit more than 85.000,009 each
year’/ from the inspection System. \
; Cry* also attacked tH49Hnspu©* t
’ fafaTaw in Virginia as “worthless.” i
Virginia requires inspections three i
times a year. ,
Bailey’s bilT would provide for
only one inspection a year, but r
Crew said if the bill passed the t
Department of Motor Vehicles 1
would seek to make it two in- t

Landowners To
Meet With Army
FORT BRAGG 81) Protesting
Hoke County citizens were told to
day that no final decision has boon
reached on plans by fa* Defense
Department to acquire 60,660 acres
or/farm lands to expand fate hurt
infantry base. j
Leaders of a citizens dbnnttftfea
were informed by official?
button that the final decision is
still pending.
In Washington, the Army said
T. A. Young, special assistant to
the secretary. wiU confer March
17 with residents of Hoke eeunty,
and will give them results of the
survey. He will “consider any re
commendations they may have in
connection with this acquisition pri
or to submitting proposed plans”
to Secretary Robert T. Stevens.
The conference may be a public
hearing, a spokesman said.
The committee which came here
today restated that one major ob
jection is that the proposed “cor
ridor” to connect Fort Bragg and
Camp McKall. to be used as an,
artillery firing range, would almost
“wipe out” the already tiny coun
ty. When Bragg was established
the army took, a huge bite of the
county . &
They said it would rtean mov
ing homes, a school, a hospital and
churches from the rural area, and
farmers would lose ich agricultural
lands and the county would lose
taxable land.
Should the military decide against
expanding into Hoke County, of
ficiate have indbrited they may
seek more land In neighboring
Moore or Harnett counties. But the
tetter areas are more thickly pop
ulated and groups there also have
protested.
