U-2 Pilot’s Dad
Changes Mind on
Trip to U.S.S.R.
POUND, Va., (ifl — Oliver Pow
ers, the father of U-2 spy plane
pilot Francis Powers, abruptly
changed his plans Saturday to
visit Russia where his son is being
held on spy charges.
Powers refused to talk with
reporters, but it was understood
that he’s under “definite instruc
tions” not to make the trip at this
time and not to make further
public statements.
In Washington, the State De
partment said “The Department
has given no instructions what
soever to Mr. Powers.”
The Department renewed its
avowed intent to issue Powers a
passport “immediately upon re
ceipt of his application,” but said
“The question of the time of his
trip is entirely between him and
the Soviet authorities.”
State Department officials ack
nowledged that they have been
in touch with Powers, but said
the only advice they gave him
was on how to submit an applica
tion for a passport and how to ap
ply for a Soviet visa.
Friday the Russian Embassy in
Washington said Powers would
have no difficulty in obtaining a
visa for any such trip. An Embas
sy spokesman said a visa would be
issued as soon as a formal appli
cation was received.

F.A.A. Will Make Studies
To Test Work Strains
WASHINGTON, UP) — The Fed
’ eral Aviation Agency announced
Saturday a program for the study
of physical and mental strains on
the 17,000 men and women who
control the nation’s air traffic.
The survey will 'borrow some
of the techniques of space re
search.
Volunteer subjects will be fitted
with two-pound devices for re
cording physiological and psycho
logical data under normal work
ing conditions.
“The system for recording and
transmitting the data will be sim
ilar to that used in space flight
to telemeter information' back to
earth by remote control,” the
FAA announcement said.
One phase of the study will con
cern itself with the proportion of
stress-related diseases among air
traffic control specialists as com
pared with the normal population.

Chinese Reds Put
On Heat In
Formosa Straits
By SPENCER MOOSA
TAIPEI, Formosa, Ut) — The
Chinese Communists fired more
than 500 shells toward the Que
moy Islands Saturday, the first
in lVfc years on an even-numbered
day.
The Nationalist Defense Min
istry said the Communists directed
their artillery attack at a Chinese
Nationalist transport carrying
supplies to Quemoy. It was not
hit .There was no indication the
Communists had fired on the Que
moy Islands themselves.
But Nationalist quarters in Tai
pei attached importance to Sat
urday’s action because it was the
first of its kind on an even
numbered day since the Commu
nists had spared the Quemoy Is
lands from gunfire on such days
since early November, 1958.
Conference of Japan are excessive.
It was seen here as a possible
curtain-raiser to a new crisis in
Formosa Strait.
The Nationalists have been pre
dicting the Commcnists might be
planning to create a fresh crisis
to precede, coincide with or follow
President Eisenhower’s visit to the
Far East.
The President is due in Taipei
June 18 for a visit of just over
24 hours.
