TOKIO DROPS PROBE OF ATTACK ON PLANE Tokio, Aug. 29. (IP) A foreign office spokesman said today that he saw no need for further in vestigation of the machine gun ning of the American "and Chi' nese owned passenger plane in which fourteen persons were killed off the south China coast last Wednesday. He reiterated a previous denial that Japanese warplanes machine gunned the plane after it had alighted on a waterway south of Canton, indicating that Japan would take that stand in her reply to United States Ambassador Jo seph C. Grew's protest.

The reply will be made "soon," he said. "Personally," he declared, "I believe that if the Umted States investigates further they will come to agree with the Japanese ver sion of the incident." He said it was very difficult for Japanese airmen to differentiate between Commercial and military planes and as a result some of the former might be attacked unin tentionally despite any precau tions.
