The frightened. werried and
weary family of U-2 Pilot
Francis Gary Powers arrived
In Moscow today hopeful of
seeing him before he goes to

l, arrived first. in the dawn
hours. Both were tired and on
the verge of tears. The mother
is seriously i'll with heart

hours later, drawn and strained
and with bloodshot eyes. She
told reporters: Il shall be glad
to talk to you later. I am very
tired now and I need a little
rest"
Fellow passengers said later
she told them she first hoped
to. see her husband, then Mr..
Khrushchev.
Appeals to Khrushchev
Father Oliver w. Powers, his
voice breaking repeatedly, read
a statement at a news confer
ence appealing to Mr. Khru-
shchev.
= The note was penned on sta
tionery of the British Euro
pean Airways plane which
brought him to Moscow after
a stopover in London.
Mr.. Powers sat in a deep
armchair as he read. Before
he began, he took a deep
breath, looked up at his friend
and advisor, Sol w. Curry, and
asked in a husky voice do I
have to read this?"
After pause, Mr.. Powers
added ITS what I made up"
The statement follows:
Mrs. Powers and have
come to the Soviet Union for
the sole purpose of doing all
that we can to help our son.
] am sure that any other par
ents would do the same if their
boy was in trouble and I ap-
peal to Mr.. Khrushchev as one
father to another, for the sake
Of my boy.
II understand he lost a son
in the war against Nazi Ger
many, fighting alongside the
United States of America for
the same cause.
"One reason I am here is
that Mr.. Khrushchev cabled
me, promising to help me in
this matter and I have taken
him at his word.
my son is not the son of a
millionaire. He is the son of a
working man from plain
American family like millions
Of others not only back home
but in the Soviet Union and
throughout the world.
And as a father, I appeal
to this common bond of hu-
man sympathy which I believe
is stronger than all the issues
Of politics that separate us and
which is, if I may say so, man.

peace of the world shall be

Senate Committee and was
sent to the floor today.
Actually, the measure could
work as well for Republicans
but it was sponsored by a hard
core of Democratic conserva-
tives lead by Charles D. Moses
of Appomattox.
The proposal calls for the
listing Of uncommitted inde-
pendent electors for President
and Vice President on the Vir-
ginia ballot.
Attitude Criticized
J. J. Fitzpatrick, editor Of the
Richmond News Leader, told
the Senate Privileges and Elec-
tions Committee the bill "is
constitutionally sound, and
/ think it's politically sound"
Mr.. Fitzpatrick criticized the
attitude of Democratic Party
leaders that Virginia and the
South might be in the bag. "
and contended it would be
wise for us not to be in the
bag.
/ If Virginia adopted such a
law, he added, it well might
influence the view of national

He said such a law would
offer VirginianS a protest
against the liberal trends OF
the two major parties.
