The handsome Virginian showed no emotion when
he heard the sentence. He stood with arms folded as he
heard an English translation of this outcome of his three-
day trial, a trial in which the Russians tried to condemn
the whole foreign policy of the United States in the
cold war.
Powers was downed on a May 1 flight which carried
him into the Soviet Union at 68,000 feet. The incident
led to wrecking of the summit conference and cancella-

The Soviet Union's top penalty for espionage is death
by shooting. Prosecutor Roman A. Rudenko asked for
a 15-year sentence. Powers’ Soviet attorney, Mikhail I.
Griniov, asked for less, without specifying the years.
There is no appeal provided for in the Soviet law,
but Powers' wife has indicated her intention to carry
a personal plea to Premier Khrushchev If she can see

tenced Francis Gary Powers to prison and then permitted
him to see his tearful wife behind the scenes at the
courtroom where he was tried for his U-2 spy flight.
A military court gave the 31-year-old American
pilot a 10-year sentence for espionage but modified
that by specifying only three years are to be spent in
prison.
The rest of the sentence is covered by "deprivation
of liberty." That may mean assignment to a special
colony with other prisoners, or possibly expulsion.
It is entirely conceivable that Powers may be sent
out of the Soviet Union when his prison term is finished.
There was nothing official on this, but the feeling among
some diplomats and correspondents in Moscow is that
the Soviet Union at this stage has no special desire to
keep Powers after the excitement about him subsides.
