tabrlcatlonS, based on the as
sumption that if the aircraft
had been shot down, the pilot
must have died." he said.
Mr.. Khrushchev said the
plane was shot down from a |
height of 10000 meters and
added: If they fly higher we
will still get them"
He said the pilot claimed
that until 1856 he was in the
United States Air Force earn
ing $500 month. He said the
pilot admitted that he then
went to work for what the
Premier called an American
spy organization" for a salary
of $4,000 dollars a month.
That's the way capitalists
buy human beings" Mr.. Khru-
shchev said.
Mr.. Khrushchev led into his
story of the confession by say
ing:
Nov am going to tell you
a secret. 1 did not tell you
when I first reported the story
that we had parts of the plane
and that we also have the pilot
who is alive and kicking.
I'VE did that on purpose,
because if we gave all that in
formation another explanation
(by the United States) would
have been produced.
Camera Was Good One"
Mr.. Khrushchev told the Su-
preme Soviet in its closing ses-
sion that photographs taken by
the plane had been developed
in Moscow.
Some of the photographs
are of Soviet military aero
dromes and industrial enter
prises," he declared. The
camera used was a good one."
Mr.. Khrushchev elaine d
that Mr.. Powers had since ad-
mitted he was working in mill
tary intelligence under cover
of an official job at a civilian
station.
He has said that he was
to have flown over a number of
points including Murmansk
and Archangel switching on
and off his apparatus over vari-
Gus points marked on the map
said the Premier. His eventual
destination was the Norwegian
airport at Boedoe.
U. S. Explanation
Commenting on Mr.. Khru-
shchev's earlier announce
ment that a United States
plane had been shot down,
the State Department said
yesterday a single engine
high altitude jet used in
weather research took of
from Adana. Turkey, last
Sunday and had been miss
ing. 1t said the pilot might
have been unconscious when
the incident occurred
CDuring the flight of this
plane" the State Department
report said. "the pilot re-
ported difficulty with his OK
yge1 equipment.
CIT is entirely possible
that having a failure in the
oxygen equipment which
could result in the pilot los
ing consciousness, the plane
continued on automatic pilot
for a considerable distance
and accidentally violated So
Wet air space. -
Lot of Foolish Things"
In attacking the United
States speculation of what
happened to the missing
weather plane, Mr.. Khrushchev
declared:
Now they have already told
us a lot of foolish things and
I am sure they will give us
more foolish things"
He then quoted the pilot as
teStifying that his apparatus
was not damaged and that he
was flying the itinerary pre-
scribed for him. The people
who sent him thought he
wouldn't be detected because Of
the great height of his fight. |"

edge and consent and strongly
disapprove the injection of this
issue into the campaign. I have
campaigned on the issues in
West Virginia. These issues are
OF national Importance. These
are issues of today and of the
future and not of matters 20
years ago. I know Senator
Humphrey as an able and dedi-
Gated public servant"
Praises Roosevelt
But politics makes strange
sequences and an hour later
Senator Kennedy was standing
on a platform in the back yard
of the Charleston library, say
ing. of Mr.. Roosevelt, who had
introduced him:
II don't think there is any
figure in West Virginia whose
word is more highly regarded
and who has made more of a
contribution to the discussion
Of the issues of the campaign"
Will Mr.. Roosevelt continue
TO discuss the repudiated issue?
Senator Kennedy was asked as
he left the platform: ASK him."
said Senator Kennedy over his
shoulder.
The Monograph machines
were busy during this inter-
lude and Mr.. Rooseveit's sec
ond thoughts were ready half
an hour later. His new state
ment said, Il was accused by a
major newspaper and an i'm
portant weekly magazine of
playing dirty politics in COM
pairing Senator Kennedy's war
record to Senator Humphreys
record. deeply resented that
accusation because I assumed
that this situation was we'll
known since it has always been
a matter of public record. I
do not feel that this is Of
Importance in this campaign
and l regret that it has been
forced into an issue"
More Statements
I At a short and heated press
conference in the Hotel Kama
wha, Mr.. Roosevelt said he
could produce photostatS of the
letters, denied he had called
Senator Humphrey a draft
dodger and said it was quite
possible that a man not being
in the service could have a
clear understanding of the is
sue of peace"
Il trust it will oe dropped
out of the campaign" he said.
Who brought it up in the first
place, someone asked.
Il think this issue of being
accused of playing dirty poll
tics showed a lack of knowledge
of the facts, and it became an
issue with me personally" he
said Indignantly.
Was there any conflict be-
tween Senator Kennedy's state
ment, rejecting the issue and
his statement on the platform
that Mr.. Roosevelt had made
a contribution to a discussion
of the issues?
II think you would have to
ask Senator Kennedy" Mr..
Roosevelt replied, closing dis
cussion that no one thinks for
ra moment has ended.

PORTLAND. Me-, Oct. 20.
Political history Is being
made Down East these days
by two women waging q stih
but ladylike battle for q seat
in the United States Senate.
On one side is chic, silver
haired Republican Senator

woman ever elected to both
the House and the Senate.

teacher, business woman. and
for IL years q respected mem
ber Of the Maine Legislature.
Never before has the Ma
ton witnessed q senatorial
contest between two women.
And how does the typical
Maine voter view all this?
He views 1t with q 'ho-hum,"
or something to that effect.
One reason is that he's sell
dom the demonstrative type.
Another may be that despite
the determined campaigning
Of Mrs. Smith and Miss Corr

groups, receptions and the

This was in reference to

Soon after Miss Cormier
won her party's nomination,
Mrs. Smith noted that the

When Congress adjourned,
Mrs. Smith began planning
the exhaustive daybreak-to-

that she has used to bowl
