Ceylon Seeks Compromise on U S Spy Plane Debates
Informed sources say Sir Claude Corea of Ceylon may back a compromise UN Security Council resolution condemning only the flights over foreign territory. The move aims to avoid full US condemnation after the U-2 incident and win enough votes to pass. The debate opens as the USSR accuses US planes of aggression and Lodge prepares a US rebuttal. Eisenhower’s open skies plan could be introduced later for UN aerial surveillance.
