(UPI Telephoto) Russia's Claim That Powers Shot Down Now Looks Flimsy By CHARLES CORDDRY United Press International Washington -IUPII- Russia's claim that Francis G. Powers' U-2 was struck down with a rocket at 68,000 feet looks flimsier than ever in the light of information brought from Moscow by the pilot's father. Arriving in New York City Thursday from the trial that convicted his son of espion age, Oliver Powers said the pilot did not believe he had been shot down. That further fortified the conclusion here, based on elec tronic monitoring devices, that a mechanical failure brought about the U-2's down fall. The Russians made a prime effort in the Moscow trial to persudae their own citizens and the outside world that the U.S. spy plane was knocked off last May by a rocket at a height of 12 or 13 miles. .'.The Kremlin badly need to repair the damage done to its pride by disclosure of earlier successful U-2 flights over the Soviet Union. The Russians tried to show that their rock ets have sufficient accuracy and range to deal with in truders. ' At the height of the trial such a neutral observer as India's Prime Minister Jawa harlal Nehru said in New Del hi that the U-2 incic" t showed America's pi; js could go and come as they pleased. That was what upset the Soviets. Even Powers, who said in the prisoner's dock what the Russians required of him on many points, avoided saying in so many words that his plane was hit by a rocket. All he would say was that he was "struck down by something." Solid evidence gathered by U.S. electronic devices which followed the ill-fated flight over Russia already had made a mockery of the Red claims, authorities asserted. They said the same sort of evidence also demonstrated the falsity of Kremlin claims that an RB-47 reconnaissance plane was over Russian terri tory when shot down by So viet fighters on July 1. The authorities recalled Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge's statement to the U.N. Security Council that the RB 47 was equipped with "the most sensitive available ra dar" for navigation and that its whole course was followed "through the technical means which we have." No less could be said of the U-2 flight, authorities report ed. In the first place, extreme ly powerful listening devices on friendly territory heard the excited radio chatter of Rus sian defense installations as they tracked the U-2 and en gaged in urgent discussions on how to bring it down. American authorities know that Powers brought the U-2 down to 37,000 feet near Sverdlovsk, presumably be cause of an engine "flameout" at higher altitude where the oxygen was too thin to re start. Or maybe there was an ex plosion in the engine which led the pilot to think he was, as he later testified, "struck down by something." 3 Face Charges In Marine's Death San Diego - (UPD - Testimo ny will get underway Monday in the murder trial of three youths accused of the rat pack slaying of a Camp Pen dleton marine.

Zoomsi Expedition Gets Medford Gifts For Society Auction After receiving 1,000 bot tles of Pepsi-Cola, a year's subscription to the Fruit of the Month club, eight tickets to the Shakespearean festival and other unnamed surprises last week from Mayor John Snider, Portland Zoomsi ex pedition members were still unsatisfied. The Zoomsi expedition, led by Dr. Sam Diack, director of the Oregon Museum of Sci ence and Industry in Portland, landed in Medford to exact tribute from the "friendly na tives." Gifts will be auctioned at an exclusive $100 per plate banquet in the grand ballroom of the Sheraton-Hilton hotel Oct. 1 to raise $100,000 for the museum and Portland's Zoological society. The flying expedition to "outer Oregon" returned with, among other things, a trip up the McKenzie with a veteran white water guide, 1,000 Presto-logs, a ranch-sized sprink ler system, a free vacation near Roseburg, and a Klamath 'package deal" of a week's bird shooting, fishing and rec reation. All of these items will be auctioned off at the banquet. But Diack was not entirely satisfied with these gifts from seven cities of "Outer Ore gon," and plans a further fly ing trip to "Eastern Outer Oregon." Both the OMSI and the zoo benefit all the people of the state, he said. Portland pays 90 per cent of the cost but 80 per cent of the visitors come from outside of Portland. Diack said he still needs a "a battleship, a swimming pool-got the heater but not the pool - need a couple of quarter horses, more bulls, a carload of wheat and an ele phant or two for the auction. Big, stuff, that's what we need. "Pan American offered us a Stratocruiser but they wanU ed a guarantee of $100,000. Anybody got an island they want to give for the sale? Anything big, we'll sell it." Income of Average Family Higher Than Needed For Modest Living Standard fmO ESJ Bmrnl Hirm.l .mr,. I a. to. I tffTtr" Washington-HJPD-The Labor department says the average big city family of four has an income 15 to 20 per cent higher than is necessary for "a modest but adequate level of living." The department said the in come required for such a standard of living ranges from $5,370 in Houston to $6,567 in Chicago, compared with an average income of $7,000 to $7,500 per family in its study. Since its last family budget study in 1951, the depart ment said the income neces sary for a "modest but ade quate" level of living has gone up about 40 per cent. More than half the increase resulted from the general lifting of the standard people consider basic, it said. Infla tion accounted for the bal ance. The department's figures were based on standards de veloped for a family of four living in a big city or suburb in rented quarters. The de partment specified the hus band was 38 years old and the wife did not work outside the home. It- also assumed there was a daughter 8 years old and a son, 13. The amount of income nec essary to give this family a "modest but adequate" level of living varies from city to city because of differences in climate, prices and local pat terns of living. For example, in New York a car is less necessary because of the vast network of sub ways and buses. In Minneapo lis more money must be spent for winter clothing than in Houston or Los Angeles. The department made "adequate" income computations for 20 major cities.

Compared to 1951, the de partment said, the new "mod est but adequate" level of living includes "more meat and other preferred foods, more meals away from home, larger allowances for house hold operations, more tele phone service, more reading and recreation, including a television set, and the wide spread development of hospi tal and medical care insur ance." Following are the 20 cities and average incomes the de partment found were neces sary to maintain an "ade quate" level of living: Atlan ta $5,642; Baltimore $5,718; Boston $6,317; Chicago $6, 567; Cincinnati $6,100; Cleve land $6,199; Detroit $6,072; Houston $5,370; Kansas City $5,964; Los Angeles $6,285; M i n n e a polls $6,181; New York $5,970; Philadelphia $5,- 898; Pittsburgh $6,199; Port land, Ore., $6,222; St. Louis $6,266; San Francisco $6,304; Scranton, Pa. $5,693; Seattle $6,562 and Washington, D.C., $6,147.
