Justice Of Russ Claim Is Admitted
Washington reports the United States concedes Russia’s claim that a Soviet ship is immune from damage suits in U S courts. The note to Ambassador Panyushkin allowed the passenger vessel to sail from New York, with suits by two passengers totaling 75 000 dismissed. The ship left for the Mediterranean and Black Sea ports, 5000 bags of mail unloaded after longshoremen refused to load. Moscow must respond to U S protests on jamming and broadcasting interference. State Department officials say Supreme Court rulings support the Russian position, extending immunity to government owned ships of other nations. The issue reflects broader Soviet American tensions over broadcasts, Trieste, and Far East shipping.
