Under the new schedule they would arrive at O'Hare Airport outside Chicago at 1:05 p.m. (CDT) instead of 11:05 a.m. as originally planned. If the Chicago weather permits at that time, they will travel by helicopter to Meigs Field on the shore of Lake Michigan and then go by motorcade into the heart of the city. If the weather does nut permit, they will motor directly from the airport to the Blackstone Hotel.

The President, noted for a knack of getting tugging forces to pull will deliver a nationally televised address tonight to delegates who have been wrangling bitterly over GOP platform policy. For Eisenhower, the trip lo Chicago represented something of a sentimental journey. It was there that he was nominated for the first of his two terms as president. Eisenhower, as commander of Allied forces in Europe in World War II, won a reputation for being able to smooth out national rivalries and differing viewpoints.

S. RB47 plane penetrated Soviet air space before it was shot down July 1. Both Italy and Argentina warned the U.S.S.R. it risked jolting world public opinion by rejecting an American proposal for an impartial international investigation. Both expressed deep skepticism of the Soviet story.

The Soviet Union was expected by some U. N. diplomats to cast it? 88th veto to prevent international investigation of the incident in which one American flier was killed, three are missing and two are Soviet captives facing trial as spies.

The only purpose of such an inquiry, said Kuznetsov, would be to "confuse a completely clear issue."

He claimed it was 200 miles off when it finally fell.

Lodge said the flight of the plane from Brize Norton, England, was monitored throughout and its course "established beyond a doubt by the evidence of our scientific devices." Kuznetsov charged that Lodge's version was fabricated and his maps falsified. But Sir Pierson Dixon of Britain told the council his government also "has reliable evidence" to show that the plane never went within 30 miles of the Soviet coast. The U.S. resolution proposed an investigation commission made up of representatives of the United States, the Soviet Union and a government acceptable to the two nations. Gov.
