Soviet Union, which always
follows the policy laid down by
the Communist Party.
The Powers family was in
a condition best described as
stunned following the ordeal
of the three-day trial, the ver-
dict and their bittersweet le-
union with the young pilot.
Powers broke down and cried
after kissing his wife. He did
not know his family was in
Moscow until he saw them at
the opening of the trial.
The reunion. lasting one hour
and Is minutes, was the family's
first since Powers U-2 recon-
naissance plane crashed on So
Wet territory May / and his spy
case became an international
issue.
Guards See Reunion
The family sat around a
table in a room behind the
judges dias in the Hall of Col
umns, scene of the trial.
The table was laden with
caviar, sandwiches, tea and cof-
fee but they were unable to eat.
Several Soviet guards stood in
the room during the entire
Mr.. Rogers described the
which was attended by
Powers wife and parents: his
sister Mrs. JesSica Hileman of
Washington, D. c., and his
mother-in-law. Mrs. Monteen
Brown of Milledgeville, Ga.
Powers told them he had
been treated especially well dur
ing his pre-trial Imprisonment.
The guards were very kind"
he said.
Then Powers explained the
details Of his sentence as he
understood it. He said it would
be broken into three years in
prison-minus the time since
his capture May land another
seven years during which he
would be sent to live some
where in the Soviet Union and
be given a job.
Soviet law provides that pris-
oners sent to such assigned
residences" may live with their
wives. There was no indica-
ton this possibility was dis
cuSsed at the family reunion.
Mrs. Powers immediate hopes,
however. lay more in the as
surances she has received from
Soviet authorities that she will
see her husband again. She
does not know where. or when.

Powers Fares Better Than Hale
Who Also Talked When Caught

NEW YORK, Aug. 20 tAP) -
Francis Gary Powers isn't the
first American spy to confess
after getting caught-but he
Jared better than most of his
predecessors.
Powers was given 10 years
deprivation of liberty" yester-
day by a Russian military
tribunal after the young pilot
admitted flying his U-2 spy
plane deep into Soviet territory
The first American spy to
talk upon his arrest probably
was Nathan Hale. Capt. Hale,
like Powers, was caught with
the evidence.
Hale had gone behind British
lines on Long Island on a
volunteer spy mission for Gen
George Washington. When he
was caught the British found
maps and drawings of their
Long Island installations hid
den in his shoe sole.
Hauled before British Gen
William Howe, the 21-year-old
Hale readily admitted he had
been spying for Washington
Howe had no recourse but to
execute the American. Before
he was hanged on September
%, 1776, in an apple orchard ir
lower Manhattan, Hale made
his famed declaration knowr
to generations of American
schoolboys:
Il only regret that I have but
one life to lose for my country.
Had Hale known what hi
was facing-if caught? Ap.

Phone Threat

A 49-year-old Washington
public relations man has been
charged by the FBI with
threatening a Pentagon official
over the telephone.
John D. Knox was arraigned
yesterday before United States
Commissioner James F. Splain
with bond set at $4,000. FBI
agents arrested Mr.. Knox at
his apartment at 420l Cathe-
dral avenue NV. and charged
him under an obscure Federal
statute dealing with interstate
threats made over the tele-
phone.
The FBI said the suspect is
accused of making a telephone
call on July 26 to R. Benjamin
Whiting of 1911 Exeter road,
Bethesda, a statistician in the
Office of the Assistant Secre-
tary of Defense for Supply and
LogiStics.
Mr.. Knox. according to the
FBI. allegedly told Mr.. Whit
ing he wouldn't see the light"
of another day in a call to
the Pentagon.
Mr.. Knox's estranged wife,
the FBI said, is employed in
Mr.. Writings office. Mr.. Knox
had made several attempts to
contact his wife before the
alleged threat.
The suspect told agents he
was currently unemployed but
that he had worked previously
as public relations counselor
for the White House Confer
ence on Children and Youth.

During the Civil War, one
of the North's most brilliant
spies was Timothy Webster, a
Pinkerton detective agent. His
most amazing feat was to get
a safe conduct pass from the
Confederate Secretary of War
to tour Southern installations.
But when his messages
stopped coming from Rich
mond, his boss. Allan Pinker-
ton, got worried and sent two
other agents to investigate.
They found the overworked
Webster bedridden in a Rich
mond hotel. But the agents
were caught.
Faced with death, they
talked readily, duplicating
Webster, who was arrested and
executed.

men has been eclipsed publicly
in recent days by the Powers
trial which ended in Moscow
yesterday. The 3l-year-old flier
was given a 10-year sentence
with the proviso that he must
serve three years in prison and
be deprived of his liberty for
another seven.
In a cautiously worded state
ment, President Eisenhower re-
gretted yesterday "the severity"
of the sentence.
Senator Kennedy, the Demo-
cratic presidential nominee, de-
scribed the sentence as lex
tremely harsh - particularly
when it is clear from the testi-
mony that he (Powers) was
only carrying out his duty"
Il hope we all, led by the
President. use our influence to
help Powers" Senator Ken
nedy added. He said in response
to question that the U-2 af-
fair is not a campaign issue.
Chairman Fulbright, of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, which investigated the
U-2 incident. said he thought
the sentence was fairly len
lent" for an espionage case.
Aside from Mr.. Eisenhower's
statement. administration Off
cials generally we're silent on
the outcome of the Moscow
trial.
Their restraint generally
was due to two factors. United
States officials repeatedly hope
that Powers sentence, which
provides for three years in
prison, may be modified. They
also saw little in the situation
which could be developed to
United States advantage.
The State Department said
last night. in response to ques-
tions, that arrangements have
been made to continue Powers
salary while he is under de-
1t also said that pro-
vision has been made for his
wife. This apparently means
that at least some of his $2,5001
pay will be turned
over to her.
In response to other ques-
tions, the Department said
that "the United States Gov
has no intention of
prosecuting Francis Powers be-
cause it sees nothing in his
conduct to warrant such
prosecution"
The questions about prose-
cution had arisen on the theory
that Powers might have dis
closed United States security
information in his testimony.
He was reported to have ex-
pressed doubt at one point
whether he could return to the
United States because of the
possibility of prosecution.

approach, which is sponsored
by Senator Anderson, Democrat
of New Mexico. is expected to
be extremely close.
Supporters of the Anderson
amendment say that if they
get four or five Republican
votes they will win, but that
most Republicans will support
the State system, which is
favored by the President.
Senator Javits, Republican of
New York, announced today he
will offer a substitute for the
Finance Committee bill. The
substitute would leave manage
ment of the plan to the States,
with the Federal Government
meeting a substantial part of
the cost. but would provide
coverage for all persons over 65.
The committee bill would
extend to all those who need
help in meeting their medical
expenses. The Javits plan would
entitle everyone who paid a
subscription fee to insurance
like coverage. except that no
fee would be charged if a
persons income was under $500
a year.
After medical care, the only
major bill left in the Senate
will be the $50 billion foreign
aid appropriation and a last
supplemental money bill for
miscellaneous Governme e n t
needs.
In reporting the foreign aid
bill yesterday, the Senate APP
preparations Committee granted
all of the Eisenhower requests
except 5000 million which the
House had cut from military
assistance.
Senator Ellender, Democrat
of Louisiana, who ususally takes
the lead in trying to cut for
eign aid on the Senate floor,
said last night he will go along
with the committee report this
year.
He said the successful effort
he made to cut the, military
item in committee was about
all that could be done in view
of present world conditions.
The House. which expects to
have quorum beginning Mon
day, holds the key to whether
this session will be able to get
final action on a housing pro-
gram, Federal aid to school
construction. and the increased
minimum wage bill passed by
the Senate Thursday.
The housing and school bills
have been tied up for some
time in the Rules Committee.
Efforts will be made Monday
to send the minimum wage bill
to a joint conference committee
to settle the substantial differ
ences between the two houses.
Senator Byrd believes he has
a good chance of passing the
voluntary State-managed medi-
cal care bill in the Senate. He
also believes that if the Sem
ate adds the social security
plan the bill may not get
through the House. There have
been reports also that any such
plan would encounter a presi-
Dental veto.

years ran a spy network aimed
at the theft of United States
