The real state of affairs sur-
Tounding the capture of the
United States spy ship, the Pue-

blo, has been revealed more
Clearly by the release by the
60vernment of the Democratic
Republic of North Korea of evi-
dence in form of maps, charts
and orders from the ship and
Statements by the crew and offi-
cers of the Pueblo.

Found on board the Pueblo
‘Were top secret documents and
ayy secret papers, various records,
4 photographs and other espionage
data of the U.S. forces with re-
gard to their spying activities
against the Democratic Peoples
Republic of. Korea and other
socialist countries.

Executive officer and naviga-
tor of the Pueblo, a Lieutenant
Murphy, admitted in his state-
menf that the ship had penetra-
ted deep into North Korean

Dome” and what purpose is it

'| On the Dome plan the B-52
‘bombers loaded with hydrogen
' bombs should be in the air day

jin the U.S.A. near Goldsboro,
‘North Carolina. =:
By the order Of the U.S. Sup-
eme Commander hundreds of
‘heavy bombers — half of the
U.S. strategic air force — are
on the alert at all times.
- Their crews — six officers and
staff sergeant — spend four
days and three nights in a spe-
jcial shelter close to their air-
craft which is fully loaded with
uel and hydrogen bombs. In
response toa battle alarm they
must be airborne in 6 to-7 min-
tes. :
The southern route of. these
hydrogen bomb flights runs over

e central portion of the Atlan-

ic toward Spain and along the
editerranean over Italy and
reece and back. It will be ob-
jvious that the Palomares acci-
ent was not quite casual. Apart
rom Spain, in danger of similar
‘fatal accidents are France, Al-
eria, Tunis, Italy, Israel, the

waters on several occasions. Part
of that statement as printed in
the North Korean, Pyongyang
Times follows:

“The ship’s position log and
navigational plot, which record-
ed every position of the Pueblo
after determining it accurately
during the whole course of its
navigation, are the documents
that establish most correctly
when and where the ship was
located.

“The ship’s position log and
navigational plot show the deep
intrusions by the USS Pueblo
into the territorial waters of the
Democratic People’s Republic of
Korea on a number of occasions,
namely, about 98 miles
'(41°51.0’ N, 130°10.0’E) from Gal-
dan north of Chongjin, 11.2 miles
(41°25’ N, 130°03’E) from Orang
Dan, 10.75 miles (40°28.1’ N,

Greece and other countries
- which lie on this death route.
If war is unleashed, this route,

as has been repeatedly stated.

in the press, will be follow-
ed by bombers -sent to deliver
their death cargo to the southern
regions of the Soviet Union and
the European countries of the
socialist camp.

Of the northern routes the
first one crosses the air space
of the U.S.A. toward the Pacific
coast and over Alaska along the
Canadian coast of the Arctic
Ocean to reach the Thule base
on the northern outskirts of
Greenland where it turns to the
south and following the coast-

line of that island returns to its .

base:

The second northern route
runs mainly over Canada to
Alaska and farther on coincides
with the first route.

The third northern route pass-
es over the Great Lakes to reach
the Thule base in Greenland
whereupon it coincides with the
other two.

If we extend these routes men-
tally it will be evident that they
are intended to train the bomber
crews that the ultimate objects
of the first two of them are
Russia’s Far East and Siberia,

Do east of Songjin respectively,
8.2 miles (39°48.9’ N, 128°91.9’ E)
from Ansong Gap at Mayang Do
area and 7.6 miles (39°17.4’ N,
127°46.9’ E) from Yo Do at Won-
san area in the Democratic Peo-
ple’s Republic of Korea.

“As navigator, I can assure
upon my honor to all the
courses taken by the USS Pueb-
lo intruding deep into the terri-
torial waters of your country
for espionage activities against
the Democratic People’s Repub-
lic of Korea.” s

“Operation Pinkroot” was the
name given to the spying carried
out by USS Pueblo and USS
Banner against the Soviet Union,
China and North Korea.

the North Korean government

USS Pueblo (AGER-2) will be available for intended Pinkroot opera-
tions in accordance with the following schedule:

2. Secondary DIRNSA collection requirements socilited for those
Pinkroot operations conducted under primary navy tasking.

3. Dates of USS Banner (AGER-1) overhaul (scheduled 1 Jun-1
Sep) are being reviewed and should overall dates be moved up,
portions of the above intended schedule would be invalidated.

4. Areas indicated for operations made available for DIRNSA
primary tasking and those preferred by CINCPACFLT due operational

considerations.

while the third one aims at the
northern and central regions of
the U.S.S.R. and at the European
countries of the socialist camp.
The inventors of the Chromium
Dome do not conceal their aims.
Maps on which the directions of
the planned air strikes were
plainly indicated appeared more
than once in the American
press.

Flights along northern routes
are a constant danger to the
population of the U.S.A., Canada,
and especially Greenland, be-

cause all of them run over the
U.S. strategic air base of Thule.
Therefore it is only natural that
the region offshore Greenland
was exactly the site of the re-
cent accident with the American
bomber carrying thermo-nuclear
bombs.

As a result of this disaster the.

waters of the Atlantic and of
the territory belonging to Den-
mark are contaminated with
alpha-particles emitted by plu-
tonium. No wonder, the reaction

of the world opinion to it is even.

more violent that at the time
of the Palomares accident.
The world is upset. The flights
of American nuclear coffins are
a growing menace: to everyone.
Not merely because the B-52
bombers are gradually weaken-
ed by wear and age, but in the
first place because the foreign
policy of the U.S.A. becomes
more and more aggressive, get-
ting all too often under the ‘in-
creasing influence of reactionary
brass and owners of war con-
cerns, _.
