Knowland urges break with Russia over plane shootdown
Sen William Knowland urged the United States to sever diplomatic ties with the Soviet Union after a Soviet fighter shot down an American plane. He argued breaking off relations would strip Moscow of its embassy advantage in the U.S. while denying espionage centers here, and said such action would restore pre recognition conditions. He noted censure debates in Congress and had previously pressed for break in a telegram to President Eisenhower.
