Democratic p r e s i dential nominee John F. Kennedy (Mass.), chief sponsor of the labor-backed measure, opened debate Wednesday night, de claring that it was "vitally important at this session." Early opposition was ex pected to come from Sen, Barry Goldwatcr (R-Ariz.), arch conservative, who warned he would call up a se ries of amendments to drasti cally trim the scope of the bill. The minimum wage hike, one of the planks in the Demo cratic Party platform, has been listed as "must" legisla tion by Senate leaders for pas sage In the post-convention session of Congress. Backers made no forecasts on when a final vote might come.' But Kennedy's vice presidential running mate, Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.), notified the Senate that no roll call votes were scheduled until Friday. In addition to calling for a step-up increase in the mini mum wage to $1.25, the bill also would extend coverage under the wage-hour act to 4,971,000 new workers.

RIVERSIDE MEDFORD Washington (UPD The par ents of captured U2 spy pilot Francis G. Powers planned to fly to Moscow today. They had a promise from Vice President Nixon to do all he could to obtain justice in the airman's espionage trial. The pilot's attractive bru nette wife, meantime, sched uled a news conference, pre sumably to discuss the Rus sians' refusal to grant visas to her mother and her mother's doctor to go with her to Mos cow for Powers' Aug. 17 trial. Powers' wife, Barbara, her mother, Mrs. Monteen Brown, and the doctor had reserva tions to leave New York City's Idlewild Airport Wednesday night. But the re servations were cancelled be cause the mother and physi cian had not received visas. Sabena Airlines reported in New York that the reserva tions had been shifted to a flight Friday night. The U2 pilot's parents Oliver Powers, a Norton, Va., shoemaker, and his wife, who suffers from heart trouble were scheduled to leave New York for Moscow by jet air liner with a stop-over in Lon don. They were accompanied by a doctor and Sol W. Cury, a neighbor. The father told Nixon Wednesday that the U.S. gov ernment had not done enough to help his son defend himself from spy charges. The pilot's wife had made ' a similar charge earlier. The elder Powers also told Nixon that Russia broke a standing agreement with the United States when it refused to allow his son to choose his own defense counsel. The shoemaker went to the vice president's office with Rep. Walter H. Judd (R Minn.). They said Nixon pro mised to do "all he could" to obtain justice in the case. For one thing, they said. Nixon promised to forward the father's complaints to the "proper authorities." They declined to say whether this would include President Eisenhower. Nixon wished the father "God-speed" on his trip to Russia, shook his hand warm ly and said: "My best wishes to you. You've got a lot of people be hind you so keep your spirits up." Powers said he asked Judd to accompany him to Nixon's office because he was so im pressed with the congress man's keynote address at the GOP national convention. The U2 pilot will go on trial next week on charges that he violated Soviet airspace to gather aerial information about Russian rocket bases, radar networks and other military installations. His high-flying U2 jet was forced down in Russia May 1, and he was captured un harmed. ' The Russians have said Powers confessed to the es sence of spying charges. But the U.S. State Department ex pressed belief he made the statement only after he had been brainwashed. Prisoners Freed By Lock Specialist Pittsburgh, N. Y. - A lock specialist was called to the new Clinton county jail to release seven prisoners who had been trapped in their cells for more than 24 hours. The Decatur Iron and Steel Corp. of Decatur, Ala., sent one of its men to repair the faulty mechanism. The doors had remained closed for more than a day after the automatic lock system broke down. The prisoners received their meals through the bars. A jailer shoved the plates to them with a stick across a seven-foot recreation area. It took two hours for the specialist to locate the diffi culty. The prisoners said they enjoyed their one day off from work but missed their exer- ON THE FASHION HORIZON ftXjLmm IT'S A WONDERFUL STORE V the costume rioln with, nnink It is styled in soft broadcloth as an elegant background for a rich white mink collar.
