In the event of trouble over the So'. jet Union�pilots were told�this s% stem would destroy the U.2 after they had tossed themselves clear in the ejection seat. But could the pilot be sure the delicate timing media- nism would work�particularly if the plane were hit by enemy fire? Could he be sure there W011 id be any time lag before the plane was blown up? At the outset. it was thought that the 1J-2 might include a device that would explode instantly. destroying the plane and killing the pilot if trouble developed. But no practical mechanism of this t)pe could be de- signed. The CIA feared that an auto- matic destruct lir might needlessly kill a pilot outside the Sun jet Union. Or it might detonate prematurely in a situation where the pilot's ingenuity could save the plane�and himself.

Tlw President was not con� yineed. They would protest. he felt. because that would be the only way to stop the flights. But Eisenhower was confronted by a difficult decision. If he rejected the advice of his military and intelli- . gence experts. he would be depriving the nation of valuable�perhaps Lia� matchable�information. He ended �by approving the program. But lie continued to worry about the over. flights. Once a high ranking officer who was involved ill the U.2 program approached the President on another matter. Eisenhower cut him short, and exclaimed. "I don't want to hear any more about the U-2." The dan- gers of the operation were. however. much on the President's mind, and he often asked the CIA: "What hap� pens if you're caught?" The CIA re- sponse was always the same: "It hasn't happened yet." At Camp David. Eisenhower was resting before undertaking one of the most ambitious�and most cher- ished�projects of his Presidency. In Iwo weeks, he was to meet with other world leaders at a widely hailed sum- mit meeting in Paris. Then. as the guest of Premier Nikita S. Khrush- chev. he was to visit the Soviet I 'Ilion.

I Kelly Johnson. a 1,(wk� heed vicepresident and its chief de- signer. had delivered the first 1.1.2's that year. f Development of the high- altit ude plane had been dela) ed for several months because the proj� ect was turned down by Air Force Maj. Gen, Floyd Wood. Later, some military men insisted that the design was faulty and predicted that the plane Won Id come unglued in flight. I Trevor Gardner. chief of Air Force research and development. and Rich- ard M. Bissell. Jr.. who was to run the program for the CIA. were con- % inced that the 11-2 would function effectively. The% pushed the prliject through. But Gardner expected the Soviets h. develop some means of countering the plane within a year or so. Once the 1-2 was in production. the Air Force objected to a proposal to turn the plane over to the CIA. The military could maintain tighter se- curit% . the Air Force insisted. But the original plan was followed. and the CIA used techniques of high es. piomige to maintain secrecy. All CIA employees who participated in the U-2 program were first required to undergo extensive lie-detector tests. Veil few documents were used. %psi communications were by word of mouth.' However. one evening one of the few CIA men who knew of the program dropped a top-secret 1.1.2 document on the floor (Chile closing the safe. A guard making the rounds spotted it on the floor, and after read- ing no more than the classification marking called the official back. Even with all these safeguards. stories about the mystery plane began to ap- pear. The most startling was in the Model Airplane News in March, 1958: "An unconfirmed rumor sais that L1 -2's are flying across the Iron Curtain taking aerial photographs." By 1960. the 11-2 flights had be. come almost routine. So many thou- sands of photographs were being taken that unprocessed U-2 film would sometimes pile up for months.

Electronic eaves. dropping and reports from local agents had deepened the suspiciori that �the Soviet Union was building its first operational Intercontinental Ballistics Missile base. The primary imrpose of l'owers's flight was to pho- tograph the construction before the Russians could camouflage the site.

A world-famous research institute has found a new healing substance with the astonishing ability to shrink hemorrhoids with- out surgery. It relieves itching and pain ie miii- Otfec and speeds up healing of the injured, inflamed tissues. In one hemorrhoid case after another, "very striking improvement" was reported and verified by a doctor's observations.

In fact, results were so thorough, that sufferers were able to make such statements as "Piles have ceased to be a problem." And among these sufferers, �were a wide variety of hemorrhoid con- ditions, some of 10 to 20 years' standing.

Barbara Powers awoke in her trailer on the base at Incirlik at 5 a.m.-Monday, May 2, to the sound of pounding on her front door. Sleepily, she went to the dam Sev- eral of her husband's friends were there. The thought passed through her mind that this was "just another wake-up party." They were some- times held for amusement bv the pi- lots and wives of the isolated detach- ment. "This had better be good," Bar- bara told the group at the 'door. "Barbara, we have some bad news." one of the men replied. "Gary is missing. We have search planes out, but they haven't found him yet." What followed was later hazy in her mind. "The next thing I remem- ber is the base doctor giving me shots. I don't know how many I had." For the next few days, she was to re- main under heavy sedation, await- ing word of Gary's fate. A few hours later, at the nearby Tnrkish city of Adana, Yusuf Ay. han, a local newsman, thought he was on to an interesting story..Ayhan had picked up a tip, and had now colt- firmed it at the air base. lie was the first reporter to receive, and write, the cover story plotted out by the men at the CIA meeting in Washing- ton the previous day. "An American plane of the U-2 meteorological-reconnaissance type, which is well known for its excellent performance and was based at u'irlik near Adana. was reported miss- ing on Sunday." Avlian wrote. "The C-2 plane. which flies at an altitude over 10.000 metres, thereby ap- proaching the atmosphere to investi� gate the reasons behind changes in weather conditions, had sent its last message out Sunday, when the pilot reported a breakdown of his oxygen equipment. No further news was re- ceived from the plane after that." At 3:30 p.m., May 2, Harry Press's phone rang. Press, a be- spectacled. cautious bureaucrat, was in his office one block from the White liouse, lie was one of the four men at NASA who knew that the U-2 was photographing military targeis in the Soviet Union under NASA cover. The caller was Maj. James Smith at Scott Air Force Base. Belleville. III. Major Smith, the U-2 project officer there, relayed to Press essentially the same cover story that YUSIlf Aylian had picked up in Adana several hours earlier. Had Press known of the Sunday CIA meeting�which he did not�he might have deduced that the message he received from Smith had actually originated a few blocks away in WashIngt on. It had gone halfway around the globe and back to him. On May 3, the cover story finally found its way into a few newspapers in the United States. Meanwhile. the United States In- telligence Board moved quietly into the behind-the-scenes decision-mak- ing on the 1-2. Its chairman was Allen Dulles, and it included the heads of the intelligence branches of the armed services. Cum-ling. the State Department's man on the board. was increasingly worried over the missing 1.1-2 pilot. Ile wanted to bring a widening circle of officials into the consultations. On Wednesday. May 4, Colonel William M. Shelton, Powers's com- mander. told Barbara to go back to the United States as soon as possible. Ile explained that when her husband was found, he would be sent home immediately for a medical examina� lion. She would see him sooner. the Colonel argued. by going hotne. This did not make much sense to Barbara. She had her first premonition that something very odd was happening. Nevertheless. she followed her in- structions. packed and began making arrangements for the long trip home to Milledgeville. Ca. In Moscow, lihrusheliev, in an expansive mood at a Czech em- bassy reception, told the diplomats lie would go before the Supreme So- viet the next day. Ile promised his speech would be interesting. At the White House. the Presi- dent breakfasted with Republi- can Congressional leaders. signed a grain apeement with India and went to the Burning Tree Club for a rotund of golf. But James C. Hagerty. the Presidential press secretary. had learned a disquieting piece of news. The "weather" plane that was re- ported down in Turkey WAS actually a 1 -2 missing over Russia. Ilagerty remembered a conversa- tion he had had at the Commodore Hotel in New York just after the 1952 election. He and Eisenhower had agreed that IlagertY would be told of security secrets only on a "need-to. know" basis. For a long time, there- fore, liagerty did not know about the spy nights. But in the fall of 1959, the President and Hagerty were riding in an automobile together on one of the President's weekend trips. Dur- ing a rambling conversation. EISCII. bower had turned to Hagerty sud- denly and revealed that United States planes were flying over the Soviet Union. "We're getting some information back from Russia, Jim," the Presi� dent had said. Ile made it plain he was worried about the overflights. This was .when he revealed that he had often asked the CIA: "What happens if you're caught?'' On the fifth of May, the 1,300 delegates to the Supreme Soviet gathered in the .Kreinlin. U. S. Aim bassador Thompson had an .uneasy feeling, lie had been placed in a choice position, a front box in the great hall, to which he was not en- titled by protocol. There was, be re- flected, something puzzling about it. At 19 a.m., Khrushehey Munched into a marathon speech. it was 3 a.m. in Washington as he began. fattish- chev unfolded a new tax-and-cur- rency program. Ile spoke, pessimis- tically, of the coming Summit,confer- ence. De regretted Eisenhower's intention to have Richard M. Nixon represent him at the Simunit confer- enee if he had to leave Paris before it was over. If Nixon were at the Summit, it woukl be like "letting a goat watch over the cabbage patch.'' Toward the end of his 3.14-hour speech Khrushchey dropped the bombshell. Early on the morning of May 'Day, he declared, "at 5:36 a.m. Moscow time, an American plane crossetl our border and continued its flight into Soviet territory and was shot down." He was about to go to Paris to meet Eisenhower. Khrusln�hey said. and now the U. S. Air Force had committed an aggressive act..K h rush chev looked up at the box where Thompson sat, and asked. "What is this, May Da y greet i ngs ?" The States was seeking to "tor- pedo" the Summit. he eharged. "The question then arises: WM. sent this aircraft across Ow Soviet frontier?

DEFENCIN: NEW MORE EFFECTIVE APPROACH TO ARTHRITIS AND RHEUMATISM PAIN New muscle-relaxing tablet works three ways to give more effective temporary relief from minor pain of arthritis, rheumatism, body aches, neuralgias, and muscular strains in 8 important areas of pain. While there is no known cure for arthri- tis and rheumatism. today there is a new source of relief from the minor pain and muscle stiffness of arthritis and rheuma- tism. Scientists have developed a new kind of medicine you can take frequent- ly. according to directions, for prolonged relief. This medicine works by the newest prin- ciples. It acts to produce muscle relaxa- tion. It has been tested extensivel.V on patients suffering from minor grades of arthritis. rheumatism and various forms of body aches. neuralgias and muscular strains. It has been reported clinically superior in bringing relief. In case after case, doctors reported that pain and muscle stiffness were relieved. Many patients said they could reach, lift. walk, bend and move with greater ease and freedom. In fact, twice as many pa- tients reported relief, compared to those taking the most widely used pain tablets. This new medicine is DEFENCIN�a two- layer tablet with prescription-type ingred- ients, nowavailable without prescription. Here is how DITENCIN works, what it does, and its three-action relief. The chain of pain The pain of arthritis, rheumatism and related conditions is not a simple matter. It is like a chain with many links. Mus- cles, joints and nerves make up these - links. When pain at the joint makes mus- cles tighten and "lock" they restrict joint movement. Every time we do move, it hurts. This pain, in turn, irritates nerves, making the pain seem still worse. Muscles, joints, nerves�this is the chain of pain of arthritis and rheumatism. Loosening the chain Aspirin. common pain tablets and ordi- nary non-prescription "arthritis" pills are designed essentially to blunt pain. They act primarily in one way ... give only partial relief. act directly against only the pain sensation itself. These ordinary tablets don't act directly against muscle stiffness to loosen the chain. DEFENCIN does. It goes to work right at the source of the trouble, relaxing tight, tense muscles that aggravate the pain of minor arthritis, rheumatism and related conditions. DEFENCIN checks pain im- pulses as well as soothes irritability and edginess due to pain. It attacks pain and muscle stiffness, each at its own source, /omens the chain of pain. A unique new three-action 'formula DEFENCIN is a combination of prescrip- tion-type medicines: each tablet brings this unique three-action relief: t 1) As a muscle relaxant. DEFENCIN acts to ease muscle tightness and stiffness, re- duce pain at the source, and help restore movement. (2) As a pain reliever. DITTNCIN checks the pain from the affected joint areas for hours. (3) As a calmarive. DEFENciN relieves the irritability' and edginess that accom- pany:and aggravate painful conditions. How DEFENCIN has helped others People with body aches and stiffness in all 8 areas listed below�from arthritis and rheumatism to simple "Charley Horse- -have taken DEFENCIN under the super- vision of doctors in clinical tests. The results bear repeating: In case after case, doctors reported that 'pain and muscle stiffness were relieved. NI any. patients said they could move, walk, stoop. bend with greater freed:mi. In fact, twice as many patients reported relief, compared to those who took the most widely used pain tablets. In some cases, all symptoms were completely relieved.
