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."

Indictment To Be
Read as Trial
Starts Aug. 17
Moscow (UPI) The Soviet
Union said today American
U2 pilot Francis Gary Powers
has pleaded guilty to es
pionage charges.
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."

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.

the new pilot program a man
responsible to the commission

working when injured.

sible time," Callahan said.

sion's operations will be made

gram and develop ways to im
prove it.
