Secreting Of Powers
DepIored by Sister

of Norton, Va. Presumably Mr..
Powers has seen none of the
other members of his immcdi-
ate family.
Mrs. Hileman said a man
representing the Government
"he's a go-between I guess
has called her and told her she
can't see her brother just yet.
Its really hard" she said.
"Of course I know he's back in
the country, but I want to go
see him to see if he's really
real. I wouldn't tell anybody
anything that the Government
didn't want me to-"
Mrs. Hileman said that, hard
as the suspense is on her, it is
harder on her older sister, Mrs.
Wesley Melvin, 80, of 1904
Nealson drive, Falls Church.
"She has asthma" Mrs.
Hlleman said, "and when she
gets excited she can hardly
breathe. It's killing her."
However, Mrs. Melvin told a
reporter that aside from being
tired and tense" she felt
pretty good.
I'D certainly love to see my
brother" she said.
Besides Mrs. Hileman and
Mrs. Melvin, Mr.. Powers has
three other sisters, all of whom
live in Pound, Va. They are:
Mrs. Roy Stallard, Mrs. WAL,
ton Meade and Mrs. Jack Goff.

Freed Saturday after spend
ing 81 months in a Russian
prison for espionage, Mr..
Powers was brought back to
this country over the week end.
He was taken to a reunion

would have no comment now
on Senator Thurmond's Sug-
gestion.
The Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee seemed to be
generally taking over the
Powers case.
Its acting chairman, Sena-
tor Sparksman, Democrat of
Alabama, told a reporter he
thinks it will not be necessary
to interrogate Mr.. Powers
personally. but this is not to
be taken as absolutely final"
Senator Sparksman called on
the State Department to
furnish the committee a full
report on the Governments
secret Interrogation of Mr..
Powers.
2 More Join in Request
Two more members of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee joined today in asking
that they be fully informed on
what happened to Mr.. Powers.
They are Democratic Sena-
tors Symington of Missouri and
Morse of Oregon. Both agreed
with Sparkman that the COM
mittee should first receive a full
report, and if that is not ade-
quate that the committee ques-

Italians TruiIinq
U. S. Team in
Bridge Match

NEW YORK, Feb. 13 (AP).-
Italy goes into today's round of
the world contract bridge team
championship trailing another
team for the first time in five
years.
North America led Italy, 10
to 78, last night after 48 deals.
Italy can still turn back the
Americans, since there are SO
deals left in their match. The
Italians have not been defeated
by United States players since
1855.
In another surprise develop
ment, Argentina took a 124-85
lead over Great Britain. The
players from the Pampas had
been expected to finish last in
the 4-team competition.
The nine-day tournament be-
gan last Saturday. It will be
won by the team that takes
the most matches.
Italy now leads both Argen-
tina and Great Britain, while
the North Americans lead Ar
gentina as well as Italy, but
trail Great Britain.

Three men were presumed
drowned when lost in raging
currents. A woman was crushed
under a rain-loosened tree. A
man was buried in a collapsed
well shaft.
Cars were mudded in along
Hollywood boulevard in the
heart of its sudio area after
an early-morning cloudburst

down a residential street.
Mud Buries Homes
Some homes were buried in
mud to within a foot of the
ceiling. Cars were tossed down
Beachwood drive along with
planks, boulderS, trees and other
debris.
Many areas escaped un-
scathed.
In suburban Sunland, $50 res
idents of the RiverWood Ranch
Sunset Springs area above Foot
hill boulevard were stranded
when flood waters of the big
Tuiunga wash ripped out the
only access road. The residents
had food and medical Supplies,
furnished by means of a line
shot across the wash yesterday
by firemen.

apparently was the last gap of

moving them out to safety.
National Guardsmen and vol

rising water, in the face of new
dangers caused by rapid melt

a warm spell coupled with the
downpours. Seven Idaho coun-
ties have been declared disaster

High Water Recedes
In Southern California skies
cleared yesterday after six days
of rain, and high waters be-
gan to recede. In their wake
were tons of mud and debris
and scores of wrecked or dam

isolated areas were still cut off
today.
Twenty-!six deaths were at
tributed to the rain, which
totaled more than eight inches

Among them were three San

craft rocket system that could
reach the high flying U-2?
One of the first questions for
Mr.. Powers must have been:
Was it a flameout?
If the answer was yes, as
widely suspected, there was a
second, more crucial query:
Why did the jet engine stop
operating, or flameout?
Forced Into Steep Climb?
Was it because high altitude
Soviet rockets were reaching
so close to Mr.. Powers that he
had to put his U-2 into a steep
climb?
At those extreme attitudes,
a steep, climb could have caused
the U-2 to overhead and flame
out, especially if the pilot
pushed his aircraft too hard.
After a flameout, Mr.. Powers
would have been forced to come
down to a lower altitude, per-
haps even within reach of
Soviet fighters, to get the en-
gine going again.
Past speculation usually has
emphasized that engine failure
caused Mr.. Powers to come
down within range of Soviet
fighters and rockets.
But it was seldom added that
Soviet rockets penetrating to
impressively high attitudes
might have forced the Inflated
flame-out. And, if Mr.. Powers
had remained at his highest
cruising" altitude, he might
have been brought down any,
way.
U. S. Had Missile
The United States had a
Nike anti-aircraft missile in
1860 that could have knocked
down a U-2.
Another possibility is that
the Soviet Union had developed
an air-to-air rocket that could
be launched from high-flying
fighters, a kind of high-alti-
tude Sidewinder.
The U-2 pilot also is being
interrogated, presumably, about
the possible reasons for the
failure of what the pilots call
the "destruct" mechanism.
Destruction Mechanism

ton button to blow him out

Care With Children,
Elderly Is Urged
At Christmas Time

Special care to keep very
small childre and elderly
people safe from fire during the
holiday season is urged by the
National Board Of Fire Under
writers.
Studies show that the highest
death rate by fire is among per-
sons IS years and older. and the
second highest rate is among
children under Ia.
Small children never should
be left alone. the National Board
said. And elderly people should
not be left alone if they are in
firm or unable to take care OF
themselves.
Everyone in the family-es-
pecially children and elderly
persons should know how tC
get out OF the house or apart
ment quickly if fire occurs
Everyone should be familiar
with at least two routes of es-
cape Ii one exit is blocked, the
alternate route may be used.
The phone number of the fire
department should be kept close
to the telephone. and family
members should know how te
call the fire department.

Goal To Wipe Out TB Within Hope

has been a specially concentrat-
ed drive to wipe out TB altogeth-
err. That goal is we'll within the
realm of things we can hope to
do. If there are no activ e
cases of TB walking around I'M
treated, there would be no fur
Their infection with TB. The job
is to find and treat fully with
modern drugs the more than
100000 people who still have act
i've TB today and don't know it.
1t also means special efforts to
keep all known cases of active
TB under treatment, until there
is no longer any risk Of infection.
Because long term goals some
times breed encouragement
along the way, the official and
voluntary agencies behind the
mo more TB" drive have set
themselves an intermediate goal
: a case rate for the country as
whole of no more than 10 per
hundred thousand Of population
by 1870. The case rate for 1860
was 30.8, so we have quite a way
to go. Despite scattered rate in
creases here and there, the job
can be done.

The TB news is hopeful. Both
case rates and death rates for
the U. S. as a whole have been
steadily going down. But al
though the general picture looks
encOurag ing. it is true that in
some parts Of the country tu-
berculosis case rates have gone
up recently. Not much. Just
enough to spoil the picture.
1t is possible, of course, that
these recent increases may be
more apparent than real. A
vigorous squirt in case detection
activities, for instance, will al
most certainly turn up more
cases than last years less en-
ergetic program. Increased eff
forts to check on those with
whom the TB patient was in
contact may also show a COM
parative rise in new cases. How
ever, it is certainly possible that.
in some instances, the case rate
went up became there was act
ually more tuberculosis around.
