Eisenhower Concedes Red Charge Accurate In Part WASHINGTON, May 7 UP) A statement by President Eisenhower and released by the State Department in effect conceded the accuray of much of Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev's charge that a plane shot down in Russia last Sunday was on a spy mission. State Department officials privately said that this was the mean ing of the statement although it was not intended to admit every detail, of what Khrushchev aleged. The statement blasted Soviet Iron Curtain secrecy and the "danger of surprise attack" which it said this creates in the world then said that "unarmed civilian U2 aircraft have made flights along the frontiers of the free world for the past four years" because of that danger. Officials declared they were not able to say whether any of these previous flight had crossed the Soviet border. The statement was issued at the State Department by press officer Lincoln White. It declared that there was no authorization from any authority in Washington "for any such flight as described by Mr. Khrushchev." It then said: "Nevertheless, it appears that in endeavoring to obtain informa tion now concealed behind the Iron Curtain, a flight over Soviet ter ritory was probably undertaken by an unarmed civilian U2 plane.'' That is the type of single engine high-flying iet aircraft which Khrushchev announced was shot down by a Soviet rocket near Sverd lovsk in central Russia last Sunday. Khrushchev reported today that the pilot, 30-year-old Francis G. Powers, was captured after he bailed out and might be brought to trial. Khrushchev said Powers was flying from a base in Pakistan across the width of the Soviet Union to a base in Norway for the purpose of taking pictures of Soviet defense installations. ,, t,jmi.ni mmm unumn '".i 'I'll '""' "'w'i'W'iW1'''"'"1"11'" MJWmmmmvivuu.wx . v .-,::.;:::::::v::v.x V " i-fl i x- ' li r L '7 i ' "' 1 v ' ' , , W.
