denying he had been authorized
to do so.
Mr.. Khrushchev talke d
vaguely of trying Mr.. Powers
as a spy. But if he released
him Just before the summit
meeting, he'd be putting the
United States on the spot.
In 1857 this Government tried
and convicted a Russian spy,
Col. Rudolf I. Abel. Last March
the Supreme Court upheld the
conviction. If Mr.. Khrushchev
let Mr.. Powers go, this country
might feel compelled to let Col
Abel go. Or the two countries
might agree on the exchange

The three allied powers have

Pilot'sFather

POUND, Va, May 9 (AP).-
The father of the American jet

Soviet Premier Khrushchev to
return his son unharmed.
Both the father, Oliver w.
Powers, and Mrs. Barbara Gay
Powers, 24-year-old wife of the
pilot, say they are sure he is
innocent.
Mrs. powers is at her
mothers home in Milledgeville,
Ga, recovering from a broken
right leg received while skiing
in Turkey. Her doctor says she
is emotionally exhausted and
unable to see newsmen for
several days.
Mr.. Powers son, Francis Gary
Powers, 80, was plotting an
American jet plane which was
shot down in the Soviet Union
The elder Mr.. Powers told

Mrs. Barbara Powers issued

Khrushchev's sAIertness
Booby-Tropped U. S.
BY JAMES MARROW
Associated Press stan Writer

1t Just the beginning when Russia with the world

spy plane it said shot down Russia.
Premier Khrushchev-f he wshes-has prepared the way
for embarrassing Government President

before, curing ana after the
summit meeting which opens
in Paris next Monday.
Without condemning Mr..
Eisenhower at all, Mr.. Khrush-
chev has already projected an
image of himself as a leader
much more alert to what's hap
penlng than the President.
He let it be known he was
the one who gave the order to
shoot down the plane while it
was over his territory. Up to
now the American Government
has insisted Mr.. Eisenhower
didn't know about the plane
or its mission.
Could Pull a Switch
Since Mr.. Khrushchev is
shreWd. a fine actor and a
superb propaganda he could
easily pull a switch that would
present him to the watching
world as a man of vast good
will.
He could do it by ordering
the release of the captured
American flier 80 = year old
Francis G. PoWers-jaSt before
the summit conference begins.
The American Government
walked into Mr.. Khrushchev's
trap with about as much So
phistication as a 10-year-old
who lost his mama.
1t was clear Mr.. KhruSh-
chev wasn't telling the whole
story Thursday when he an
nounced an American jet was
shot down while travelling over
Russia. For instance: He didn't
reveal the fate of the pilot
then.
There was a chance he didn't t
know any more than he said.
But he left so much unsaid, it
could be suspected he knew
much more than he revealed.
In view of this uncertainty,
the United States could have
played smarter.
L. S. Didn't Wait
1t could have clammed up,
asked Mr.. Khrushchev for de-
tails, and waited. Instead, the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration came up with a
theory that maybe the pilot
had suffered loss of oxygen, be-
came unconscious. and the
plane, unguided, flew on over
Russian territory by itself.
The State Department
through Press Officer Lincoln
White, joined in that theory
and added there never was any
attempt to deliberately violate
Soviet air space"
Then Mr.. Khrushchev pulled
the string, announced Pilot
Powers had been captured and
admitted he was spying.
Mr.. White, who is only a
spokesman for the State De-
partment, had to come out with
another statement. this one
approved by Mr.. Eisenhower.
which conceded Mr.. Powers
might have been spying but
