age and Nikita Khrush-
chev has promised: “We
Shall try him—try him
severely as a spy.”

“This was reported today by
Tass, the official Soviet news
agéncy.

‘The penalty for espionage in
the Soviet Union ranges from 10

years in prison to execution by a
firing squad.

The latest, . developments. were
announced in’ Tass broadcasts

of the press conference Khrush-
chev held Wednesday at the
Moscow exhibit of espionage ar-
ticles. which the Russians say
Powers carried. when he. was
downed while flying, over Russia
May. 1,

Part of Western correspond-
ents’ dispatches on the press
conference had been held. up in
Moscow censorship. Tass’ ac-
count of. Khrushchev’s remarks
was carried . from Moscow 20
hours. after the press conference
took . place.

Central Urals 900 miles east of
Moscow. He has been brought

the Russians have not granted
a U.S. Embassy request for an
interview with him,

DETAILED CHARGE
The full charge against Pow-
ers, as given by Tass, was:
