Soviets Press Powers Show Trial For Propaganda Gain
Washington officials expect the Soviet Union to extract maximum propaganda from the Francis Gary Powers U2 show trial. They foresee a possible seven year term or execution as a possible gesture by Khrushchev, with post trial negotiations likely. Moscow’s pretrial actions suggest Khrushchev aims to dominate global opinion and link the downing of Powers’ aircraft to broader Cold War leverage.

Industrial Oil Price Takes Jump in New England
Boston based New England Council official Gardner A. Caverly warned that winter bills will rise for regional industries due to higher residual oil prices and a reduced import limit. He noted a 145000 barrel under quota from Oct 1 to Dec and a 16 cent per barrel price increase, with claims Washington favored soft coal interests. Residual oil, used mainly for heavy industry, may pass costs to customers through higher electric rates.
