Expect Red Veto On Plane Issue
UNITED NATIONS AP reports diplomats expect the Soviet Union to veto today a U N proposal for an international inquiry into the July 1 downing of a U S reconnaissance RB-47 by a Soviet jet. Soviet deputy foreign minister Kuznetsov vows to oppose submitting the dispute to any international court or commission. He says such an inquiry would confuse a clear issue as nations anticipate a Soviet vote condemning U S air force provocations and urging an end to flights.
