Questions
unanswered in
plane mishap

WASHINGTON (AP) — A belated admission by the

Soviet Union that one of its warplanes shot down a South |

Korean airliner last week again raises the question of
whether thé Soviet-pilot knew he was firing at an
unarmed passenger plane.

Was the Korean plane shot down in international

Fadlo messages, cad it taks qfull 18 culsutes for the
Korean plane to drop off radar screens after the Soviet
pilot fired his eiales and reported “the target is
destroyed?”

The Soviet admission was made in an. official

on Moscow.

The Soviet said the jet i that
tracked the airliner “fulfilled an order of the ground
command to stop the flight” of the Korean plane and shot
it down.

“These Soviet pilots stoppiig the actions of the
intruder plane couldn't have known that it was a civilian
plane,” the statement said.

American officials insist that the Soviets should have
known it was a civilian airliner but do not claim that the
Soviets actually did. “They made no serious effort to
identify the aircraft or to warn it,” an official White
House statement said.

SEES HALF MOON

American officials say the silhouette of the Boeing
747 passenger plane, flying through a clear night and
illuminated by a half moon, was clearly visible to the
Soviet pilot. Moreover, they say, the Soviets should have
been able to distinguish the 747 on their radar screens.

The Soviets said the Korean plane was flying
without navigational lights “at the height of night, in
conditions of bad visibility, and was not answering the

But according to transcripts released by the White
House of radio conversations beween the Soviet pilot and
his ground command, the pilot reported: “I see it visually

“I see it,” came the emphatic response. “The A.N.O. (air

Three minutes later, the pilot was apparently dismayed
again over.a query from ground control.

“Fiddlesticks! I'm going. That is, my Z.G. (indicator) is

A few minutes later, he reported he no longer had his

Shortly after the tapes were played, Moscow acknow-

Liberals rally
behind
Trudeau

OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minister Trudeau rallied
jittery Liberal MPs behind his leadership Tuesday with a
speech that had even his critics singing his praises, _

“Tve never heard him speak better,” said Ontario
MP and former cabinet minister John Reid, who earlier
had said he hoped Trudeau would quit “sooner rather
than later.”

But despite proclamations of caucus unity, MPs were
left with no better idea as to when the prime minister
intends to keep his promise to step down before the next
election — expected next year.

Trudeau “was sufficiently ambiguous as to make it
undecided,” said Reid, MP for the Northern Ontario
riding of Kenora-Rainy River:

Caucus chairman Gilbert Parent wouldn't rule out
the possibility that Trudeau will run again, predicting the
MPs “will be behind him 100 per cent,” if he does run.

“He will be the leader as long as he wants to be the
leader,” Parent declared after the 147-member caucus
Waite about half the day discussing the leadership, state
of the party and “the mood of the nation.”

Seven MPs, fnctuding Reid, said last month Trudeau

The MPs spent the afternoon planning for the
Yesumption of Parliament on Monday and for a new
session and throne speech expected this fall.
Finance Minister Marc Lalonde, while not ruling out
another budget before the end of the year, said the
economy is recovering better than he predicted in co
