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.

Democrats Rap
State Department
On African Students
WASHINGTON (EP) Demo
crats yesterday turned a Repub
lican criticism of their presiden
tial nominee into suggestions that
the State Department may be
playing slippery politics.
At issue: Whether the depart
ment of Sen. John F. Kennedy
acted with partisan intent on the
question of bringing 250 African
students to the United States,
Democrats united in support of
Kennedy included such diverse
types as Sen. J. William Fulbright
of Arkansas and Rep. Charles C.
Diggs Jr., a Michigan Negro.
They carried along th battle
set off by Sen. Hugh Scott (R-
Pa.) who charged that the Ken
nedy family had tried to outbid
the government for the privilege
of paying $lOO,OOO transportation
costs for the Africans.
Thor Space Rocket
Explodes In Flight
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla (~ P )
A space rocket exploded in
flight yesterday about n min
utes after it blasted off in an at
tempt to hurl an experimental
military communications satellite
into orbit.
The fiery sky explosion ruined
the first step in a long range in
vestigation of the use of satellites
as a global communications net
work for all U.S. military forces.
There was no immediate an
nouncement on what caused the
explosion of the two-stage Thor
Able Star rocket. But it appeared
that there may have been prema
ture separation of the two stages.
Kennedy Wage-Hour Bill
Approved by Senate
WASHINGTON (.4") The Sen
ate yesterday passed Sen. John
F. Kennedy's bill raising the min
imum wage from $1 to $1.25 an
hour and giving about four mil
lion workers protection of the
wage-hour act.
The vote marked a victory for
the Democratic presidential nom
inee.
He was chief sponsor of the leg
islation and shepherded it through
the Senate, successfully fighting
off nearly all limiting amend
ments of a major nature.
