Sketchy reports Russian Threats Not To Med Missiles To NATO Washington -(UPD-The Unit ed States told Russia today it would not be "deflscted by Soviet threats" from giving Polaris missiles to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. In a note delivered to the Kremlin and made public to day, this government accused Moscow of pursuing a "policy of threats " to stir up world tensions. The United States has been negotiating to arm NATO with land-based Polaris mis siles April when Defense Sec retary Thomas S. Gates Jr. of fered the missiles at a NATO meeting. The land-based Polaris, relative of the Polaris missile now being tested in nuclear sub-marines, is not expected to be ready until 1963. Peace Said Threatened Russia complained in a July 19 note that the NATO Po laris negotiations threatened peace and constituted rearm ing of West Germany. Today's note replied that Russia Is equipping its armies with modern weapons. "The Soviet government ap pears to contend," it said, "that i can pursue this course of action, and moreover do so In an atmosphere of strictest secrecy, while denying the NATO member countries the right to provide- for their common defense." "The United States and Its allies will not be deflected from taking jointly measures they deem necessary for their defense." O'NEILL ASSOCIATE DJES Provincetown, Mass.

A 4,000-word indictment ment against the American said Powers "pleaded guilty on the substance of the charge" of espionage and will go on trial Aug. 17 his 31st birthday. The indictment, carried by the official Soviet Tass news agency and broadcast by Mos cow Radio, will be read to Powers on the first day of the trial. But the plea of guilty has no legal validity until and unless Powers makes his plea publicly in court. Even if Powers pleads guilty in court, the prosecu tor is obliged under Soviet law to proceed with the case and present his evidence. Rocket Claim Doubted Tass said Powers "is ac cused of having been engaged in active espionage against the Soviet Union which repre sents a manifestation of the aggressive policy followed by the United States govern ment." Powers fell Into Soviet hands May 1 when his U2 Jet reconnaissance plane came down over Swerdlovsk in Si beria. The Soviets claim they shot it down with a rocket, but U.S. sources are skeptical of that claim. According, to Tass, the in dictment says "Powers, with the knowledge of the U.S. government at the assignment of the American intelligence service, piloting a specially equipped Lockheed U2 recon naissance aircraft, intruded into the air space of the U.S.S.R. for the purpose of collecting intelligence of stra tegic nature on the location of rocket bases, airfields, ra dar network and other high ly important defense and in dustrial objectives of the U.S.S.R." Says Photograph! Taken The indictment said the Al bany, Ga., pilot flew more than 1,243 miles Into the So viet Union and photographed "a number of objectives." Tass said Powers also is ac cused of recording signals from Soviet radar stations and collecting "other data of an espionage nature." The indictment said Pow ers' mission was directed by an American "intelligence de tachment specially designed to conduct espionage against the U.S.S.R." It snid the detach ment was "based at the American - Turkish Inclrllk Air Base under the code name of '10-10.' " Powers' indictment said his unit was camouflaged "under the American National Space and Aeronautics Administra tion."

POWERS No Legal Validity (UPI Telephoto) Ike's Proposals Seen Headed For 'Maybe' Shelf . Washington - IIIPD - Senate Democratic leaders filed most of President Eisenhower's leg islative proposals on a shelf marked "maybe" today and buckled down to mopping up their unfinished business. The Senate, which recon vened Monday, was expected to ratify the 12-nation Antarc tica treaty - possibly late to-day-as its first major accom plishment. The House won't reconvene until next Monday. Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.) his party's vice presidential nom inee, said the Antarctica trea ty probably would be follow ed by a bill to increase the $l-an-hour minimum wage. Then, he added, he hoped the Senate would act on medical care for the aged. Appropriation bills -one of them a controversial money measure to finance the for eign aid program-will get pri ority attention, as will reports of Senate - House conference committees. This seemed to assure action on a compromise school-aid bill if the house rules committee decides to send it to Senate-House con ferees. The Antarctic treaty, mini mum wage, medical care, for eign aid appropriations and education bills all got a boost from President Eisenhower in the "public interest" legisla tive package he sent to the Senate Monday. Other Subject! Also included in the Presi dent's message was a wide range of subjects - including the touchy issue of civil rights on which Congress has pre viously acted, or shown an unwillingness to act. There was a new proposal, too-q $600 million aid authorization for Latin America. It seemed clear that many of the President's proposals were headed for a pigeon hole, at least until the new Congress convenes in Janu ary. Johnson, in listing his priority items, would say only that some other items "may" be considered. Plywood Firm Cuts Production New York-IUPD-U. S. Ply wood Corp. announced today a 20 per cent cutback in ply wood production to correct the "chaotic" condition of the plywood market. The reduction will be made by rescheduling production at its West Coast mills from a five-day week to a four-day week. Last week Evans Products shut down two plywood mills and two veneer plants in Ore rescheduled for Wednesday, sharp decline In prices for this key building items. U.S. Plywood President Gene C. Brewer said the rec ent drop in mill prices to $60 per 1,000 square feet from $76 a year ago is "an. indication of a chaotic market which only responsible leadership in the industry can correct." The industry capacity in the past decade has outstrip ped the still growing demand for fir plywood.

New Industrial Accident Salem-(UPD-Sid Lewis was elected chairman of the State Industrial Accident Commis sion Monday replacing Wil liam A. Callahan who has headed the organization since 1954.
