Unarmed Weather Craft Claimed Down By U S
The United States said Khrushchev’s claim of shooting down a bandit U S military plane was an unarmed weather reconnaissance craft. A pilot may have blacked out due to oxygen failure and continued on automatic pilot, possibly violating Soviet air space. The State Department offered cautious wording and noted the incident occurred ahead of the Paris summit. Congress members reacted strongly, with some urging continuation to the summit despite Khrushchev’s remarks.
