' I Powers had pleaded guilty and told a full story of his em ployment by the Central In telligence Agency and of his flight. : The dark-haired airman got the last word in court after Rudenko and Grinev had fin ished. . Drawing a white piece of paper from a blue folder in which he was carrying a copy of his Indictment, Powers be gan speaking, pausing every few words for his speech to be interpreted imo Russian. "I realize I committed grave crime and that I must be punished for it," he said "I ask the court to take into consideration not only the fact that I commited the crime, but also the circum stances that led me to it." "I also ask the court to lake into account the fact that no secret information reached Its destination," Powers said. "It all fell into the hands of Soviet authorities. I realize the Russian people think of me as an enemy, . Fetls No Enmity "I can understand it. But I want to stress the fact that I do not feel nor have I ever felf. any enmity toward the Russian people, . "I plead to the court as a human being who is not a per sonal enemy of the Russian people, who has not ever had any charges brought against him In any court and who deeply regrets what he has done." After the airman finished. the three judges left the room to deliberate. Prosecutor Rudenko opened the session this morning with a crackling condemnation of U. S. policies. He said the statements and attitudes of U. S. leaders should be con sidered in the deliberation of Powers' fate. He said "crim inal aggressive policies" of the United States were as much on trial as Powers. . Then he referred to Powers as "a dangerous criminal" but said that because of his "sin cere repentence" the court should spare his life and sen tence him to 15 years.

He said he was in an "ex ceptionally difficult and In comparably complicated posi tion." Grinev said that since Pow ers had pleaded guilty the de fense challenged neither the facts of the charges preferred nor the appraisal of the crime given by Rudenko. It is our civic and profes sional duty to help a defen dant who wishes to avail him self of the right to a defense which is guaranteed by the constitution of the Soviet Union," Grinev said. He urged the court to con sider that Powers honestly confessed and that he was un der Instructions from su periors. .1 '; : "Powers' flight was not an expression of his own will but the will of aggressive circles behind him, especially the Central Intelligence Agency, a system In which Powers was a small fry," Grinev said. 'Masters Should Attend' He said Powers should have been joined in the prisoners' dock by . "his masters who ought to attend this trial in visibly." He said that by mas ters he was referring to the CIA, the American military and "all . those which strive to touch off another world war." The defense attorney said that if Powers was not alone in the dock he "could un doubtedly expect a much mild er punishment." Grinev quoted Powers as telling him privately, "I was deceived by my bosses. I never expected to find such an attitude here Grinev said the airman told Soviet Interrogators that if he returned to the United States he would be tried and sen tenced to "10 years imprison mcnt and a $10,000 fine or both." The defense lawyer said Powers also said, "I know that I shall be tried in your courts but if I had to return home I should be tried there too. But I am not likely to return home." ROK PRIME MINISTER Former Vice President John M Chang raises his hand in jubilation after being elected South Korea's first post revolutionary Prime .Minister by the Na To Judiciary Committee Washington - (UPD - The ad ministration - backed civil rights bill was sent to the Senate Judiciary committee today with a vow from its sponsor he would not let the measure die. Sen. Jacob K. Javits, (R- N. Y.) served notice he would not let the measure, which embodies the Republican plat f o r m proposals, be pigeon holed by the committee head ed by a southerner, Sen. James O. Eastland (D-Miss.). The measure calls for fed- e r a 1 assistance grants to school districts seeking to de segregate and makes perma nent the president s commit tee on equal . job opportuni ties covering government contracts. . The legislation would also permit government lawyers to seek court orders on be half of people who claim they are being denied their civil rights and would change vot ing requirements by making a sixth-grade education rath-' er than an eighth-grade edu cation proof of literacy. Javits told the Senate he would not start any extend ed debate on the issue now. But he promised to make it a major issue if the Judici ary committee refuses to act. Other developments: Minimum Wage: The Senate-passed bill to raise the minimum wage gradually to $1.25 faced hard going ahead in Congress. The first hurdle was . expected in the House where it must be cleared by the conservative - dominated rules committee before it can be sent to House-Senate con ferees to try to work out dif ferences between it and a MEDFORDiWrRIBUNE Reg ional Edition Page ? Residents Asked To Claim Lost Articles Lost and found items at the city parks and recreation de partment are "piling up," ac cording to reports from Rob ert Haworth, department di rector. Haworth again asked that local residents who have lost clothing or play equipment at the city parks and swim ming pools claim them at the city hall. There are hundreds of items collected througn- out the summer. The items are to be held until late September, then will either be auctioned by the city or will be given to "char itable organizations," accord ing to Haworth. Toys not claimed win prob ably be given to the fire de partment for Christmas dis tribution, he added. The final day of regular swimming will be Sept. 11 due to the opening of school the following day, according to the parks department. Part-time swimming will be continued if "weather per- permits." No closing date has been set. ' Ice Cream Trucks Denied Music Boxes Ice cream trucks can't have music boxes to advertise door-to-door sales without a major endp ehanee. according to a decision of the city council executive board. r.nnnnilman James Dun- levy, reporting at the council mpptlntf last nieht. said that because of this, the request by Gilman's Dairy for sucn a sound device would have to be denied. Councilman Al Bradford asked whether it might be nnssihlf- to allow sound de vices as long as they are re stricted to soft music. This would be impossible, Dunlevy said, since such an ordinance would be impossi ble to police. LIKE SON.
