Earning Proposal
Said Not Enough
Beaverton-IUPII-Elmo Smith
Republican candidate for the
U.S. Senate, said Sunday that
a Senate Finance committee
recommendation to raise the
ceilings on earnings permitted
to retired persons is a step
forward in the right direction
but it doesn't go far enough.
The Senate Finance com'
miltee Saturday made a rec
ommendation that would per
mit people receiving social se
curity retirement benefits to
earn up to $1800 instead of
the the present $1200 without
having their social security
pension reduced.
Smith termed the current
$1,200 restrictions as a road
block against utilizing the tal
ents of elder people. The for
mer governor of Oregon add
ed that "we need what our
senior citizens contribute to
society, and they need the in
come." He said if they have
the ability to continue work
they should be permitted to
do so without being penalized
Smith flew to Medford to
day to make a series of cam
paign talks.

ole, 23, unsuccessfully sought
to hire a killer to slay the
wealthy surgeon's wife, Bar
bara, and then undertook the
slaying themselves.
The prosecution was ex
pected to devote the rest of
its time to introducing tech
nical testimony to bolster the
talcs told by Marie, the Finch
maid, and Cody, a Minnesota
hoodlum.
As in the first trial, Finch
was expected to testify In
his own behalf after the
state completes its case.

Court-Appointed
Attorney Tells
Father of Plans
Moscow -(UPII- Mikhail Gri
nev, the court-appointed So
viet lawyer for American U2
pilot Francis Gary Powers:
30, said today "I will do my
utmost to fight for Powers'
life" in his spy trial opening
Wednesday.
The elderly, goaleed Mos
cow attorney made the state
ment at his first meeting with
Oliver Powers, father of the
American flier whose plane
was downed over Sverdlovsk
May 1 while on a reconais-
sance flight over the Soviet
Union.
After meeting Powers' fa-
mer ana mother, Grinev went
into conference with Powers
wife, Barbara, 25.
Visited Accused Man
Grinev told Virginia attor
ney Alexander Parker, who
came nere with Barbara Pow
ers to assist the family when
me pilot goes on trial, that
he had spent several hours
this morning with the accus
ed men.
Grinev asked Oliver Pow
ers how his wife was feeling.
The elder Mrs. Powers came
to Moscow despite a heart ail
ment. The pilot's father told
Grinev to tell his son that she
was in "bad health."
Wants to See Khrushchev
The senior Powers asked
Grinev how he could arrange
a "father to father" meeting
with Premier Nikila Khru
shchev. The Soviet attorney
said Powers should apply
through the usual channels
and he would get a reply.
Powers' wife and his par
ents were keeping apart in
their dealings with Soviet of
ficialdom and Grinev.
Mrs. Powers was accompa
nied by her attorney when
she talked with Grinev.
Final Plans for Defense
Grinev said this morning
meetings with Powers concen
trated on making final plans
tor the defense. His meeting
with Powers' family was ar
ranged by Intourist, the So
viet travel agency.
The American community
In Moscow was reported dis
turbed at what appeared to be
a rift between the wife and
parents of Powers.
With only two days left be
fore the start of his trial,
there were signs of coolness
between his wife and his par
ents.
Americans and other West
erners in the Soviet capital
also were upset at reports of
arrangements by each side to
sell the stories of their Soviet
experiences to Western publi
cations.
Western observers in Mos
cow got the impression they
were "innocents abroad.

independence of Cuba and the
realization of the highest
ideals of the Cuban revolu

Incidents At Churches
Revolucion also reported
that plans to read a strong
anti-Communist pastoral letter
drawn up by the island's Ro
man Catholic prelates were
frustrated by the congregation
in a Santiago church Sunday.
The newspaper said the
congregation sang the national
anthem to drown out the
priest's voice. According to
Revolucion s report, the priest
was driven from the pulpit as
the congregation shouted "Cu
ba si, -Yankees no," and
"Down with the Pharisees.'"

01 Being Beaten
Salem-IUPII - A 59-year-old
farm laborer told Salem po
lice Sunday he lay helpless
for four days at the bottom
of a 50-foot cliff on the Wil
lamette river bank here after
four juveniles clubbed him

The man, who gave his
name as Mitchell Redd, said
he was sitting at the top of
the bluff along the river Tues
day night when four youths,
who looked to be about 16 or
17, came upon him.
Redd said one clubbed him
on the head with a rock and
that the quartet then kicked
him over the edge of the cliff.
Redd said he lay in tangled
riverbank brush, too weak to
climb out or call for help,
until Sunday morning when
he managed to make his way
back to the top.
He was taken to Salem Me
morial hospital where he was
treated for a three-inch gash
on the back of his head. At
tendants said he also suffered
possible chest and back in
juries and had bruises about
the arms and hands. His con
ditions was listed as satisfactory.

Castro propaganda by militia
members gathered outside the
ancient cathedral was the only
incident reported as Cuba
passed its first Sunday in sev
eral weeks without anti-
church violence.
Endorses Church's Declaration
A prominent Catholic lay
organization meanwhile en
dorsed the sharp anti-Commu
nist declaration issued by the
island's top prelates last week
and protested Castro s accu
sation that certain "Fascist"
priests were conspiring against
him with U.S: backing,
"We lend our most decided
support and absolute backing
to each and every one of the
bishops' declarations," said
the National Catholic Organi
zations -in a formal statement.
As expected since early last
week, President Osvaldo Dor
ticos decreed the seizure of
the $67 million Moa Bay Min
ing Co., the next to last major
business enterprise owned by
U.S. interests in Cuba.
To Take Legal Action
Revolutionary militia were
expected to occupy the big
property in northern Oriente
Province some time today.
Owned by the Freeport Sul
phur Co. of New York, it had
been out of operation since
March because of confiscatory
taxes imposed by the Castro
regime.
In New York, the Freeport
Co. said it would take all
possible legal action to pro
tect its rights.
The "intervention" climax
ed a week of "popular jubila
tion" to celebrate the expro
priation of other companies
composing the one-time billion
dollar U.S. business invest
ment in Cuba.
The Nicaro mining com
plex, owned by the U.S. gov
ernment, was the only major
U.S. concern remaining.
