The new decree represented
a sharp turning in Soviet prac-
tice which in recent years has
drifted away from the death
penalty so often applied during
the early years Of the revolu-
ton. The tendency has been
to send criminals to work
camps.
The Soviet government al
ways has dealt sternly with
crimes threatening its security.
Roman Rudenko, prosecutor
general of the Soviet Union,
who prosecuted Francis Gary
Powers, pilot of the U-2 plane.
said the new decree is Intended
to strengthen the states hand
against large-scale embezzlers.
In a discussion of the decree in
the government newspaper L.
veStia, Mr.. Rudenko comment
ed:
Large scale entertainments
and parasitic elements have
been uncovered lately. It is
perfectly obvious that the
measures of punishment pro-
vided by the Soviet law up to

their crimes before the decree
was published. However, it has
often been the practice in law
10 design a decree to fit a par
ticular crime already COM
mitted.
Some law books hold this was
the case in the trial and execu-
tion Of Lavrenti Beria, former
security chief accused of deal
ing with foreign powers and Of
doing away with a number of
people who knew Of his guilt.
However the drift in Soviet legal
practice has been away from
such practices.
Those counterfeiting money
or State securities, or selling
counterfeits when carried out
in the form of an occupation"
also face the death penalty.
The penalty also can be APP
piled against habitual criminals

Mr.. Sutton made the state

struck there 20 minutes later,
One person was killed in
nearby Arkansas as another
twiSter struck near Dover.
Eight were injured at Arkansas
Lake Hamilton.
OF the SO persons brought to
LeFlore County hospital in Po-

Mr.. Gibson's home, like
others in the eastern Oklahoma
hamlet and Al others in Howe,
was leveled.

Mr.. Gibson said.
One square mile Of the valley

by the swift storm, according to
Marion Wise. LeFlore County
Red Cross chairman.
National Guardsmen patroled
the area tonight. The new high
school, one Of the structures to
escape damage, was pressed
into service as a disaster center.
The tornado lasted only about
10 seconds, said Charles Lewal-

They were Charles Brown, Mrs.

Over Laos
BY the Associated Press

Senator Aiken, Republican Of
Vermont, says he thinks Laos
would be about the worst
place in the world" for the
United States to face a show
down with the Communists at
this time.
Senate Majority Leader
Mansfield said he would not
necessarily write off Laos"
now, although the situation is
discouraging with the Reds
holding about two-thirds Of the
country.
Both Senators agreed 1t is up
to the President to decide
whether it is worth risking a
general war over present Com
munist activities in Southeast
Asia.
Senator Aiken said he is sure
Congress would support the
President in whatever decision
| he makes and that there would
be no division along partisan
political lines.
Renuhlicans have show
themselves to be above party
in the problems faced by this
Nation in recent weeks. Sena-
tor Mansfield commented.
The two members Of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee discussed a variety of
world problems on a television
program yesterday (ABC-1s-
sues and Answers.
"A large part of what has
happened there (in Laos) now
is our own fault" Senator
Mansfield said. adding that he
felt the United States concen-
trated too much on military
aid and not enough on aid for
general economic development,

pleasant sensation, particularly
so after the exhileration of the
booster ride. We find that we
have no difficulty in maneuver-
ing ourselves, in controlling our
selves, and all in all really at
this point certainly it has given
us no difficulty at all.
@. Commander, can you give
US some idea Of what you were
doing, and perhaps what you
were thinking during that very
long wait on the pad before the
launch? You were up there
about four hours. How did you
occupy your time?
A. The period in the capsule
was indeed much longer than
we had expected. 1t think that
with due consideration to the
amount Of time it was encour-
aging, because the operations
director checked with me from
time to time of course over the
various circuits to find out how
I was doing, and we kept 60
ing on and on, on the basis
that l did feel quite comfort
able.
Aside from that. there were
many functions going on inside
the capsule, such as throwing
switches. in one way or an
, other. depending upon the par
ticular phase of the countdown
, / must admit that I had very
