PAGE TWO Editorial O•inio Soviets Try Entire U.S. Foreign Policy Despite President Eisenhower's idealistic denial, it is not pilot Francis Gary Powers that is on trial in Moscow this week, it is the United States' entire foreign policy that is undergoing the Soviet inquisition. While producer-director Nikita Khrushchev relaxes in his Crimean resort hideaWay and no doubt watches his world premier on the Soviet television which is taking the greatest advantage of this propaganda colossus, his chosen showmen are avidly pursuing an indictment not of Powers but of the United States before the peoples of the world. Under the stagelights of the world they fire at this scared, hedging prisoner loaded questions designed to incriminate not him but the U. S. government, of nothing short of war-provoking maneuvers. Most of the questions are skillfully worded so that even by giving a truthful answer, Powers slips the hook out of his mouth and into that of the U. S. foreign policy hi era rchy , Powers is walking a tightrope in his answers, trying not to aggravate the Soviets but at the same time not to implicate U. S. officials anymore than he has to to exoner ate himself. The Soviets aren't missing a trick. They even threw Cardinal Spellman's name into the fire in a passing effort to tinge his name in a not too subtle move to vindicate their purges of Catholic prelates like Mindszenty, Walsh, etc. And they made sure to include an indictment on the U. S. allies who have American U 2 bases on their soil. Meanwhile the Soviets cagily sidestepped questions that might have indicated a show of U. S. strategic military strength, such as how long and how often U 2 flights have been made over the USSR. But they stressed the power of their own missiles in bringing down the plane. Only one question remains. What will they do with Powers? Shoot him? Send him to Siberia? Unlikely. They will probably recommend leniency for this "poor, exploited young man," and toss him like a hot potato back into the hands of the U. S. government to let them squirm and decide how to handle him while he becomes a inillionaire writing his memoirs.
