Senate Byposses
8 Bills Dealing
With District

The Senate swept eight Dis
trict bills off its agenda this
morning the first time they
were called up for passage.
Passed over were proposals
to increase the District sales
tax from 2 to 3 per cent, to
raise by 7.5 per cent salaries of
District school teachers, police
and flremen and to permit Dis
trict Commissioners to borrow
up to $32 million to combat
Potomac River pollution.
This does not doom the bills.
1t simply indicates that Sem
ators would prefer to debate
the questions involved beforF
voting. Had the bills cleared
the Senate today, they would
have had to win unanimous
approval.
Also passed over on the call
for unanimous consent" were
measures to regulate credit life
insurance, to amend the law
dealing with sale of alcoholic
beverages, to codify other Sec
tionS of District law and to es-
tablish a Theodore Roosevelt
memorial.

STUDENTS
Explanation Changed
By State Department

the student group had been
broadened to include youths
from countries other than
Kenya and assurances had been
given on the other two points
that had influenced the depart
ment to reject the proposal
originally.
Asked about this account to-
day, Mr.. Montero said: I'VE
changed nothing in our pro-
posal. We had at all times
stressed to r. the State Depart
ment that this was not a Kenya
project. but that students would
also come from Tanganyika,
Uganda and Nyasaland."
Later this morning, Mr..
White said he had rechecked
his sources of information and
found he had been in error on
one point.
Explains Error
1T is quite true, I find now,
as I did not know yesterday,
that in their original PROPOSE
ton to us they did indicate that
these students would come from
other countries than Kenya,"
Mr.. White said.
He also said that the assur-
ances the State Department
wanted on the cooperation of
the Institute of International
Education and the provision Of
funds for the students living
expenses had been received, not
from the African-American
Foundation, but from other
sources.
Mr.. White said he was not
at liberty to divulge those
sources.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Robinson
said in a telephone interview
that he had been sold down
the river" by Mr.. Montero and
others in the student founda-
ton.
Mr.. Robinson said they had
kept him in the dark about
negotiations with the Kennedy
Foundation, while encouraging
him to seek the assistance of
the Nixon Office in securing
State Department aid.
He said that when he talked
to Mr.. Montero last Sunday,
he was not formed of the Ken
nedy Foundations offer. He
learned of it only on Tuesday,
Mr.. Robinson said.
Mr.. Klein yesterday had con-
flrmed that the Vice Presidents S
office had been involved in ne
gotiations over the financing,
but said Mr.. NiXon's interest
was entirely non-political.
Mr.. Klein said the Vice Pres
ident had long been a supporter
of exchange programs and felt
there was room for both private
and Government support of
such activities.
Mr.. Robinson said the Vice

sentence was a normal" one
for a serious crime in the So
Wet Union, a leading American
expert on Soviet law said to-
day.
Soviet law states specifically
that no sentence shall be more
than 10 years unless 1t Is con-
sidered a grave crime" DR..
Vladimir Gsovski, chief Of the
European law division of the
Library Of Congress, said.
If 1t is q grave crime, the
court can sentence a man to
IS years or death, DR.. Gsovski
pointed out, but 1t Is obvious
that the court decided not to
impose a tougher sentence on
Powers because he co-operated
fully. 1t was a normal sem
tence."
Under Soviet law, a person
under confinement can be Or
dered to serve his time either
in prison or in correctional la
Dor colonies. The initial court
decision was for three years in
prison and the remainder
elsewhere" presumably in
such colonies.
If the court had decided to
impose a tougher sentence,
Powers could have been ordered
to spend his whole time in
prison.
Soviet law also allows pro-
baton officials to transfer part
of a mans Jail sentence to a
labor colony after he has served

PROSECUTION

expected by experts in the State
Department, however. They
reasoned that the Communists
have protested too long and too
loudly against death penalties
for Red spies in the West to
take the life Of Powers after
his spectacular show trial.
Reports from Moscow quoted
Powers Soviet attorney as say
ing the 31-year-old flyer told
him he would face trial at home
If he ever got there. Powers
himself had testified there was
provision for 10 years in prison
or a $4,000 fine for disclosing
anything about his reconnais-
sance job.
But that worries me little. "
the Russian lawyer, Mikhail I.
Griniov, said Powers told him.
Il am not likely to return
home"
The question of what should
be done about Powers case if
and when he comes back to the
United States is known to have
received study within the State
Department, Justice Depart
ment and the Central Intelli-
gence Agency.
Two Points Stressed
Highly placed officials pri-
vately stressed two points:
l. From a political point of
view, internal and interna-
tional, it would be inadvisable
for the United States to prose-
cute Powers. He apparently has
won public sympathy both in
this country and abroad for
his plight. Also the United
States has nothing to gain from
keeping the Powers case alive
as propaganda issue.
2. The law on disclosure of
information relating to secret
operations is regarded within
the Government as applying
only to violations within United
States territory. In other words
If Powers disclosures to the
Russians about his U-2 flights
were violations of his agree
ment with CIA and the agree
ment provided penalties based
on the present law, which is
understood to be the case, then
the United States Government
has no strong legal basis for
prosecuting Powers anyway.
More routine questions con-
corning possible breach of con-
tract might arise. But in such
matters officials said the domi-
nant consideration would be
the preference not to do things
to keep the case alive or put
new preSsures, on the hapless
flyer.

Ex-Fighter Pilot Gave
Powers Flight Orders
By RICHARD FRYKLUND
Star star Writer

Col. William M. Shelton, boss
Of the U-2 pilots in Turkey,
was a Strategic Air Command
administrative officer just be-
fore his U-2 assignment, ac-
cording to Air Force records.
Confessed spy pilot Francis G.
Powers said in his Moscow trial
testimony that Col. Shelton ran
the U-2 operations and gave
him orders on where to fly
and when to push the buttons
that recorded information
about Soviet defenses.
Many of his points Of obser-
walton, according to Powers,
were Soviet bomber and missile
bases-the sort Of targets SAC
will aim for in time of war.
Col. Shelton, like Powers, is
a native Virginian. Powers is
from Pound; his commander
was born at Keeling.
Flew in 2 Wars
Col. Shelton was a fighter
pilot with a good record in two
wars before going to the Stra-
tegic Air Command.
He enlisted in the Army Air
Corps August 8, 1941, after be-
