Flyer Faces Red Spy Trial LONDON (AP)--Pilot Prancis|tow exhibit of espionage articles G. Powers has been charged with espionage and Soviet Premier Khrushchev has promised: "We shall try him--try him severely as a spy." This was reported today by Tass, the official Soviet news agency. The penalty for espionage io the Soviet Union ranges from 10 years in prison to execution by a firing squad.

DISPATCHES HELD UP Part of Western correspond- ents' dispatches on the press con- ference had been held up in Mos- cow censorship, Tass' account of Khrushchev's remarks was carried from Moscow 20 hours after the press conference took place. The agency said Powers told interrogators: "I plead guilty to the fact that 1 flew over Soviet territory and over given points indicated on the route of the flight." The charge had been expected, since the Sovet government, in a note to the United States Tues- day protesting the flight, said the airman would be "brought to account under the laws of the Soviet state." The Russians claimed they shot Powers' high-flying U-2 jet down with a rocket and captured the pilot when he parachuted unhurt. The U.S. after first trying to pass Powers' flight off as a weather mission that went off course, admitted after learning of his capture that he was collect- ing intelligence. NO U.S. INTERVIEW Powers was captured near Sverdlovsk, in the central Urals 900 miles east of Moscow. The Russians have not yet granted a U.S. Embassy request for an interview with him, The full charge against Powers, as given by Tass, was: "Being a pilot of the U.S. in- purpose of collecting information of a strategic nature, and flying a specially equipped aircraft, on 1st May, 1960, violated the state frontier of the USSR, from Pakistan, flew over the territory of the U.S.S.R.,, made aerial photographs with the aid of spe- cial equipment of the Soviet areas with industrial and mili- tary objectives, and gathered other espionage data." said punishment of such a Tass gave no indication when in Western capitals that Premier Khrushchev might free him as a world. No estimate of his personal for- tune was available, but his known gifts totalled more than $350,000, 000. Once looked upon by fellow cap- italists as a radical, Rockefeller also was a pioneer in urging bet- ter conditions and an eight-hour day for the American worker.

"I hope the government will urge second thoughts on the U.S. government," he said, which cast doubts on the kind of welcome he would re- ceive. Talking with correspondents in- specting the purporfed wreckage of the spy plane, Khrushchev said "The Russian people would say I was made to welcome a man who sends spy planes over here like that."
