Powers Wife Asks Public
To Press Congress for Aid

Mrs. Barbara Powers, wife of
Francis G. Powers, the U-2
plane pilot imprisoned In Rus
STA, appealed to the American
public for help today as she
prepared to leave for her hus-
bands trial In Moscow.
II am asking for help from
everyone" the soft spoken
brunette said at q press con-
ference at the Maytiower Hotel.
She explained that she
thought her husbands cause
might be aided If people wrote
their Congressman urging that
every possible step be taken to
assist the imprisoned pilot. His
trial starts next Wednesday.
Asks Aggressiyeness
Mrs. Powers. "a, said that she
Is very grateful to the State
Department for the assistance
1t has given. but I hope they
will be a little more aggressive
In the future" .-
She said she is hopeful her
husband will receive only
light sentence.
Asked her reaction to the
Russian statement that her
husband has pleaded guilty to
spy charges against him, she
said she has not seen the
4,000-word indictment and
added:
But what else could he do
other than to plead guilty to
being the pilot of the plane? I
don't see how he could say any
thing except that I am the
pilot of the plane wrecked in
your country"
She said. she did not believe
her husband had been BRAIN
washed.
In the last letter received
from her husband on Monday.
Mrs. Powers said he wrote that !
II for any reason you are not
permitted to come, please send
me a cable. I am very anxious
to see you. This will be my
last letter before the trial"
Not Cheerful
The letter, she said, indicated
that he was not cheerful.
On whether she thought it
was fair to call her husband
a spy, Mrs. Powers said she
felt that this is "a very harsh
term. think it would be
more appropriate to call him
q scout for our Government"
Mrs. Powers said she would
leave Washington today for
New York and hoped to start |
her flight to Russia tonight. |
She originally planned to leave
yesterday. but delayed in the
hope that the Russians would
grant visaS to her mother. a

One Of the charges Mr..

The Republicans today re-
vived the group it called a
truth squad" when it trailed
Democratic speakers over the
country in 1856 and said 1t will
follow up Harry S. Truman
again this year.
Senator Morton of Kentucky

Senator Kennedy of Massachu-
setts, the Democratic presi-
Dental nominee, scheduled a
visit to Mr.. Truman in Inde-

campaign.
Senator Morton's statement
recalled that Mr.. Truman. who
announced yesterday he will
campaign coast-to-coast for
Senator Kennedy, before the
Democratic National Conven-

presidency. ~

On that basis, he said. the
Truman announcement must
be called the second Missouri

Under Henry. Clay's 1920
Missouri Compromise slavery
was allowed in Missouri, but
not elsewhere west Of the Mis-
sissippi River, and as far north
as Mr.. Truman's home State.

Both Of those bills have passed
the Senate.
The Senate-passed public
works money bill may create
the first opportunity for an
Eisenhower veto. After the SEN
ate acted yesterday, Republican n
Leader Dirksen said the Presi-
dent will look at this bill with
a dismal eye" because Of the
new projects 1t authorizes.
But Senator Dirksen voted
for the bill. and Senator john
son said he hoped the $50 vote
would persuade Mr.. Eisenhower
to sign it.
The Finance Committee ten
tatively eliminated two pro-
visions yesterday from the
House social security bill. One
would have brought 150,0
physicians under the old-age
retirement system. and the
other would have lowered from
$50 to $25 the amount of
quarterly earnings necessary to
make domestic servants eligible
for social security coverage.
The big fight in the social
security bill. however, is still
to come, over medical care.
Senator Gore, Democrat of
Tennessee. said today the real
difference between the House
bill and the approach favored
by many Senator'S is not over
whether medical care should
be financed by Federal-State
grants or a payroll tax.
He said the real difference
is whether I'VE have a widely
based system under which the
individual is entitled to med
ical care. or a State system in
which means test is required
to get assistance" The Sem
ator argued that a means test
would classify medical care as
charity.
Senator Gore favors the So
cial security payroll tax ap-
proach. as does Senator Ander-

Mr.. Hammarskjold told Mr..

But 1t was obvious that the

not as an escort for the Sec

Some Belgian residents, who
play all important part IN the
economic life of Katanga, were
reported getting ready to leave,

of a mass flight being spanked
by Mr.. Tshombe's decision to
admit U. N. forces into the

Clash at Hearing
The clash came at a Senate
Appropriations Com mittee
hearing on a supplemental
spending bill Of $l0.2 million
sought by the Commissioners
Most Of the money would be
used for public works and
would be covered by revenues
from a l-cent sales tax in
crease, already cleared by the
House and pending in the Sem
ate, and by the SO million Fed
eral payment.
The House cut all public
works items from the budget
on the ground that Its COM
mittee had recommended the
spending but failed to provide
funds to pay the bill. The
District budgets are required
by law to be balanced.
I'VE are practical, realistic
men Of experience" Senator
Pastore. chairman of the Dis
trict Appropriations Subcom-
mittee, said at today's hear
ing. I'VE must not be swing
ing our arms in the dark. Let
us talk alternatives. so IL we
don't get the So million we
will come out with a budget in
balance.
Pointed Question
Senate District Committee
Chairman Bible, who also be-
longs to the appropriations
unit. asked Robert E. McLaugh-
lin, president Of the Board
Of Commissioners, this more
pointed question:
Il share Senator Pastore's
apprehension about getting the
So million. Now. II we fail,
would you recommend cutting
down public works spending by
that much or increasing taxes
above the proposed sales tax to
cover complete works spend
ing?"
Mr., Mclaughlin said he could
not condone a shrunken capt.
tai outlay budget. He would
keep all works items and hope
to find revenue from current
taxes TO cover costs. he said.
There was no apparent op-
position to the sales tax in
crease from 2 to 3 per cent,
which is due for action before
Senator Bibles Legislative
Committee within 10 days.
Senator Holland, Democrat of
Florida, suggested that argu-
ments against the tax that
those least able to afford the
tax pay the most-do not apply
In the tourist city of Washing
ton any more than they do in
his tourist-packed home State.
Sales Tax or Nothing
Senator Pastore urged his
colleagues to stop talking
about what is almost a sure
thing-the sales tax increase.
I'VE will get a sales tax or
nothing at ALL" he said. The
House has voted that through.
I suspect we take that or get
nothing"
Senator Pastore said he
would fight for the So mil
lion Federal payment. Deficits
are in sight mainly because
Congress has raised classified
workers salaries and probably
will increase the pay Of school
teachers, police and firemen
without consultation with the
Commissioners. he said. Yet he
pointed out that Congress has
not paid the city its fair share
Of expenses.

be no problem with any other
lead, for South could follow the
general plan. That is, South
would draw trumps, take the

and return to dummy with the
ace of diamonds to cash the

At the second trick, after

cannot return to dummy with
the third round of trumps If
East still has his fourth trump.
East would gladly use his last
trump to ruff a heart. and then
the dummy would be dead.

East must ruff, since other

lead good hearts and discard

ruffs you overruff.
Now East has only one

Offutt Appeals
Court Judqment

Washington Attorney Dorsey
K. Offutt has asked the United
States Court of Appeals and
the Municipal Court of Appeals
here to set aside a Municipal
Court judgement giving him the
opportunity of accepting $40, 1000
in his libel suit against The
Star or a new trial.
In a petition for a writ of
mandamus filed yesterday Mr..
Offutt asked that a 100000
judgment-awarded him by a
Municipal Court jury May 90
be reinstated. Municipal Court
Judge Dewitt S. Hyde had con-
sidered the award excessive.
Mr.. Offutt's petition yester-
day told the appellate court
that he had been through two
trials in the case. The first
trial ended last February when
a Municipal Court jury awarded
the lawyer $4,000. Judge Mil
dred Reeves set aside the ver-
dict as excessive and set the
second trial.
Under the terms of Judge
Hyde's order of June 7 Mr.. Of
futt was required to accept the
$4,000 by this past Tuesday.
Since Mr.. Offutt did not res
pond, Judge Hyde yesterday
called for a third trial.
The suit arose from an article
that appeared in The Star in
March, 1857.
