MOSCOW (APi— Barbara Pow- ■
ers decided today to appeal di-
rectly to Premier Nikita Khru-
shchev for clemency for her hus- ।
band, convicted U2 pilot Francis
Garv Powers. I
“She has decided it would take
too long to await the outcome of
her appeal to President Leonid I
Brezhnev,” said attornev Frank .
W. Rogers of Roanoke. Va.
Mrs. Powers, 25, brunette wife
of the 31-year-old American flier
sentenced to 10 years’ detention
for espionage against the Soviet
Union earlier had told reporters
she would await the outcome of
this formal apoeal before trying
to see Khrushchev.
The Soviet Premier is vacation-
ing in Yalta on the Black Sea,
and just how she intended to go
about seeing him was in doubt.
It is known that the pilot's father
also intends to press ahead with I
efforts to see Khrushchev, but his
attempt did not appear to he co-
ordinated with th’t of his daugh-
ter-in-law They also were report
ed to have disagreed on the word-
ing ofan appeal
There was no indication of the I
points in disvute;‘but lawyers who
accompanied the family to .Mos
cow for Powers’ espionage trial
last week said the flier’s wife and
his parents had not been able to
agree on the wording of the mercy
petition thev had olanned to sub-
mit to Brezhnev today.
The lawyers said there was a
possibility two petitions would be
submitted—one from Barbara, and
one from the parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Oliver W. Powers of Pound,

UNITED NAtlONS, N.Y (AP>
—The U.N. Security Council Sun-
day night overwhelmingly en-
dorsed Dag Hammarskjold’s direc-
tion of U.N. military and. civilian
aid in the Congo.
There was no formal vote in the
council after more than 12 hours
of debate, but speaker after speak-
er from all regions of the world
upheld the U.N. secretary-gener:
al's policy of neutrality toward
the Congo's domestic disputes
The council majority rejected
the blasts of Congo Premier Pa-
trice Lumumba and the harsh
criticism by the Soviet Union that
poured out over Moscow radio
and was repeated here by Soviet
Deputy Foreign Minister Vasily
Kuznetsov.
Hammarskjold flew back to
New York Aug 16 seeking coun-
cil support of his refusal to use
the U.N. force of nearly 15,000

some high winds in some places.
Heavy black clouds, swirling with
turbulence, poured rain on the re-
miles south of Denton, and destroyed three buildings and
damaged another along the Dallas Expressway. Owner
T. H. Williams and his brother, Eugene Williams, were in-
jured when the funnel demolished the former’s fish market.
Eugene Williams was injured most severely.
Another funnel was sighted over Frisco about 3 p.m.,
but it never hit the ground in that area.

White, a member of the fire-
men’s committee, said his group
probably would ask for more than
a 10 per cent raise.
"We put in 72 hours a week as
compared to 40 hours by other
city employes. And our starting
salary is about $36 less than for
the policemen." White said. He
added that he did not know exact-
ly what demands the firemen's
committee would make.
"We haven't gotten together
yet," he explained.
Minimum pay for firemen would
be $282 with the $10 raise.

Denton policemen and firemen,
dissatisfied with a proposed $10 a
month salary increase, are seek-
ing a more substantial pay hike.
Both the policemen and the fire-
men have formed committees to
plead their case before City Man-
ager Homer Bly and the City
Council.
Elected to represent the police-
men were Capt. J. E. Bowling.
Capt. C. C. Martin, Sgt. Harold
George and Patrolman Carroll
Shahan. The firemen elected As-
sistant Fire Chief Raymond Stev-
enson, Capt. C. R. (Dude» Barnett,
Cecil White and T. J. Self.
. Bowling said the committees
will seek to confer with Bly today
if he returns from vacation. Then,
the committees will probably ap-
pear at the budget hearing Tues-
day at the Municipal Building
Bowling said the policemen want
a “10 per cent, across the board
raise and pay for overtime.”
The $10 a month raise proposed
in the budget is so small that
“some of the boys will not realize
any benefit from it," he said.
"One of the boys figured he
would end up getting only 58 cents
more a month because it put him
into another income tax bracket,”
Bowling commented.
The policemen want pay for
overtime work instead of compen-
satory time off, he said, Bowling
added that the compensatory time
off system works a hardship on
the department by causing a man-
power shortage on certain days.

cluding the $10 a month raise,

the home of Wiley W. Scoggins.
The side wall of the Scoggins"
home was caved in and the roof
severely damaged. •
Eugene Williams, 52. of 3713
Oxley Drive in Fort Worth, was
the most seriously injured. He is
a brother of the store owner. He
was taken to Methodist Hospital
in Dallas with a possible hip frac-
ture and head injuries. A section
of roof apparently fell on him.
Mrs. Eugene Williams was also
injured, but her injuries were not
thought to be serious.
Store owner T. H. Williams, 62,
was cut badly on the right side
of his head by flying tile. He
was taken to a Lewisville clinic
where 35 stitches were taken in
the side of his head.
Williams then returned to the
store to survey the damage. He
didn't place any figure on the
damage to the store which was
only a month old, other than to
say it was a total loss.
The building was owned by
Scoggins and leased to Williams 1
Others in the Williams store I
when the twister hit were Mr. and i
Mrs. Chester Evans of Dallas, sis- 1
ter and brother-in-law of Williams, i
and Jeff Howe, operator of the
store with Williams.

counter when he said, “a sheet :
