The note also demanded re- lease of two officers who sur- vived the Soviet Air Force at- tack. Washington officials held little hope of accomplishing this, however. They said they expect the two to be tried on espionage charges. The U.S. note rejected Soviet charges that the aircraft was oa a spy mission similar to that of the U-2 high altitude jet shot down in central Russia May 1. The RB-47, accused by the So- viet government of violating its air space in the region of the Kola Peninsula, was never closer than 30 miles to the Soviet coast, the note declared.
