Powers Tells All In Red Spy Trial

United Press International MOSCOW <UPI) — Francis G. Powers fought for his life today j with a disavowal of his U-2 flight as a “bad service” to his country and an emotional assertion that j he could not f-kill anyone even in! self defense. The 31-year-old pilot told the the three military judge hearing I the espionage trial in which he' has pleaded guilty that the people i who sent him over the Soviet i Union should have thought of the i copsequences. 'Friday is expected to be the last day of the trial. The prosecution and defense are expected’ to make their summation speeches. Then Powers will have the right to make a final speech to the court; Possible Verdict Saturday The seemingly naive Virginian clearly was trying to avoid a Communist death sentence. If the trial ends Friday, the three-judge court is expected to postpone the verdict and possible sentence until Saturday. Powers told the packed courtroom he never even thought of the date of his May 1 flight, let alone that it might wreck the Paris summit conference or even lead to military conflict. “Do you think now you did your country a good or bad service?’’ asked Chief Judge Viktor Borisoglebsky. "I would say very bad,” Powers replied. “Did it occur to you that a flight might provoke military conflict?" “The people who sent me should have thought of that.” The prosecution had called another technical expert, Lt. Col. K.V. Voroshilov, at the afternoon session when Powers made his dramatic plea of pacifism. Silencer on Pistol Voroshilov identified a pistol equipped with a silencer as part i of the gear found in Powers’ high-1 altitude plane when it was downed j over Siberia. Powers had been advised he; could question the statement of witnesses, and he stood in his prisoner’s box to speak. “Unfortunately, nobody but myself knows that I could not kill a person — even to save my own life,” he said in a low voice. “The pistol was given to me and I took it strictly for hunting.” , Prosecutor Roman A. Rudenko, i 53-year-old veteran of the Nuernberg war crimes trials, stared at I Powers. “Youare aware,” he inquired, “that at 68.000 feet (the altitude at which Powers says the U-2 was flying when hit; it is difficult to hunt game?” “Yes, 1 understand,” Powers said. "This was to be used only if I had a forced landing or something.” Display U-2 Gear During the exchange over the pistol, Powers' family sat tensely ; in box at the rear of i the courtroom. The mother, Mrs. Ida Powers, came to the afternoon | session after staying in her hotel' this morning lest she “disturb - | her son. Mrs. Barbara Powers, watched her husband through: opera glasses. The pistol was among the U-2 equipment brought from glass showcases placed around the gilded courtroom, scene of tht bloody 1930 purge trials and prior to that the czars’ music room. A new face in the audience was that of Vincent Hallinan, a San Francisco lawyer and student of Soviet jurisprudence who ran for president on the Progressive Parly rickci in 1952: The Russians had invited him here as an observer’. Powers testified Wednesday that his commanding officer had given him a poison needle to be used if he were tortured. The pilot said he had not been tortured although he “expected to be.”

U THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

I : I 0 I Powers agreed with virtually all - i the questions and statements put: ’by Soviet Prosecutor Roman Ru- j denko in a short resumption of I I his examination before prosecu- j Ition witnesses were called. The handsome 1 young American j from the mountains of the western ■ tip of Virginia made these points: —He never thought of his May 1 i flight “torpedoeing the summit, conference" or even provoking j military conflict. "The people who i sent me should have thought of ■ that.” Agrees With Expert —Powers agreed with a Soviet rocket expert that he was hit at an altitude above 60.000 feet and not lower as American experts ,have surmised. j —Although not sure of his ob- , jectives. Powers assumed that in- . formation on Russian rocket bases j was wanted. “AH people in the fl world are interested in Soviet . j rockets.” [ I —He saw the vapor trail of only > one plane far below on his entire flight before he was downed some fl 1,300 miles inside Russia. I I —Powers disputed one witness , ■ who said there were no American H insignia markings on the U 2. The | pilot said he thought there might , have been. Spanish Dam Breaks; 21 Known Dead J TORRELAVEGA, Spain <UPD ;i —A Belgian-owned dam near this I • north Spanish town burst Wednesday night, sent a wall of water j . j surging through a mining village ! i and swept at least 21 persons to J their deaths. “We have recovered 21 bodies,” a provincial government spokesman said. “No one knows yet how i many more persons are missing." The dam break was Spain’s j worst tragedy since January, 1959, I when water rushing seaward from ! a burst power dam wiped out the I I village of Ribadelago, killing at least 150 persons.

Prison Laws In Indiana Aid Sex Crime INDIANAPOLIS <UPD—A lawmaker indicated today the Indiana Legislature should shoulder part ;of the blame for the release from prison of a sex deviate who this week killed an 11-year-old Bopry ville. Ind., girl. i “The fault lies with the legislature because they didn’t give the ! institutions enough money,” State i Rep. Paul E. Pierce said. | Pierce said the parole board ' was not to blame for releasing Emmett O. Hashfield. a four-time • sex’ offender who admitted abduct--1 ing Avril <Honey) Terry and toss- ) ing her butchered body into the Ohio River. He put the blame, instead on ■ lack of “proper programming > i within the institutions.” ) But Pierce said he thought t! there should be a change in the parole board. r | “A legislative committee has J | recommended a full-time parole J ( board comprised of men who I have studied criminology and > 1 sociology," he said. “The board 1 now is made up of dedicated lay “ people who are trying to do wha t L is right, but unfortunately they don’t have the training.” One ,of the parole board members, Marcus C. Stewart of Indianapolis, said normally the board does not parole any man in rape cases Unless he< has had a psychiatric examination. “He i Hashfield) was not adjudged psychotic," Stewart said. I ‘Had he , been judged psychotic. | he would have been order to Nor- ■ man Beatty Hospital for the j criminally insane. Warden Alfred Dowd of the Indiana State Prison said there is always an element of risk in any parole—the question of whether a convict is fit for society. “There will never be any definite determination.” he said. “No one can say for sure. It’s just a case of wnether a man of that type should be held for the rest of his life or whether he should be released.” i Dr. Stewart Ginsberg, state mental health commissioner, said Hashfield should have been committed to a state hospital instead I of the state prison. “If this man had been committed to a state hospital, which •he was not, he would have been examined and given psychiatric treatment,” he said. “He would have been committed to the Division of Mental Health until his ; condition proved he could be freed from the hospital. “At the present time we have an advanced legal ‘ procedure for handling these individuals, those i who are mentally psychopathic ‘ and are bound to aommit a crime or criminal act.” This law was not in effect when Hashfield was sentenced in 1947 for the fourth time on a sex 1 offense.

World Meat Production Advances; Pork Highest

(Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By GAYLORD P. GODWIN United Press International WASHINGTON <UPl>—The Agricultue Department said today the world’s red meat production exceeded 100 billion pounds last year for the first time. This was 3 per cent above 1958 and 23 per cent greater than the 1951-55 average. All major areas gained except South America, which dropped 12 per cent—about 1.6 billion pounds—almost entirely due to Argentina’s decline in beef and veal production. The department predicted world red meat production this year would increase moderately with the largest gain in beef and veal. Most countries increased their total meat production in 1959. Exceptions were Argentina, Egypt, Finland, Mexico, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and perhaps some eastern European countries and Turkey for which reliable data is not available. The department said the one per cent decline <7OB million pounds) in world beef and veal production last year was easily offset by the 8 per cent—3 billion pounds—gain in pork production. Lamb and mutton output was up 8 per cent —673 million pounds—and horse-

meat was up 11 per cent—63 million pounds. Compared with the 1951-55 average, beef and veal production was up 17 per cent; pork was 29 per cent greater; lamb and mutton up 28 per cent; and horsemeat up 2 per cent. Beef and veal production was up in all major areas in 1959. except South America, where the 30 per cent drop in Argentina offset gains in all other countries of that area. Pork production during 1959 gained 8 per cent as it increased in all major geographic areas except South America, down one per cent, and Africa, down 15 per cent. , Horsemeat production gained in most countries for which estimates are made—Uhrope, Japan, add the Philippines—and totaled 618 million pounds during 1959, up 11 per cent from 1958. Particularly large gains were made in the Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, and Luxembourg. The deartment said beef and veal production in the United States during 1960 was expected to increase “substantially,” particularly in fed beef. I

THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1960.

The number of milk cows on U.S. farms _in June was estimated at 19.2 million head, down one per cent from a year ago and the lowest level on record for the month. Milk cow numbers have declined each yeah from the record high in 1944, except for a slight gain in 1953. The Crop Reporting Board saiid fluid milk prices throughout the country in early August continued to advance seasonally at both producer and consumer levels. Compared with early July, prices paid by dealers for fluid use milk this month were higher in 31 markets. No significant decreases were shown in dealer buying prices for any market this month. Home delivered single quart prices were up from early July in 30 markets and down in none. ~— Home delivered milk in 25 major cities throughout the United States averaged 26.3 cents per quart in early August. This was an increase of two-tenths of a cent from a month earlier and a gain of six-tenths of a cent from August, 1959. The department has offered to buy tomato paste, packed during 1960, for use in the national school lunch program. Over 2,600 Daily Democrats ar» sold and dflivereo in Decatur each day.
