' Ho came by commercial airliner from his home at Paducah, Ky, His arrival was delayed an. hour and a half by bad weather. Mrs. Hadley, accompanied by her 14 -year-old daughter,' Jane, waited at the airport throughout a heavy rainstorm until the plane g arrival. The three when drove in Mrs. Hadley's car to a country dub where they were to be the dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph McCIain. Other guests were attorneys who are here for the annual convention of the Am erican Bar association. Despite persistent rumors of i budding romance between the 71 year-old widower and. the 37-year-old widow, Barkley insisted his trip was "only a Labor Day holi day.? "I have been coming to St Louis for years, but never paid much attention to It until the last few weeks,' he added. St. Louis friends of the couDle said they had definitely not discus sed marriage plans. The vice president said he would be here "two or three days." He has a speaking engagement in Springfield, 111, Thursday. This was Barkley's fifth visit hero by air, including' two stops at the municipal airport in connec tion with Mrs. Hadley's recent visit to Paducah where an airport was named for him. His previous flights were'in an air force B-17.

Sept 4-tfVA crackdown on the use of military planes for other than strictly military business might' put a stopper - to most of the official trips congressmen take abroad each year on expanse accounts, one house member said today. . If they cannot travel by mili tary plane, he said, many prob ably won't 'go. A department of' defense offic ial contended that Johnson had no such crackdown' in mind when he suggested several days ago that a touring committee use com mercial planes for part of its triq. This official said the secretary suggested alternate modes of tra vel only in areas where military planes do not operate. The house member- who asked that his name not be used,. gave this explanation to a reporter: Fall is the favorite time, for such trips." The sea often gets rough then. Congressmen don't like stormy weather on the ocean and they'll stay home rather than travel on boats. , The use of military planes isn't charged to their congressional ex pense accounts.

Blakealeo Associated Press Science Editor NEW YORK, Sept 4-(yP)-Rub-ber space ships Instead of steel, and tha queer things interplanetary kflight will do to your nerves, were discussed at the aero medical as sociation annual meeting. The reports came mostly from the nation s top military aviation medical school at Randolph field, Texas, and were given by Dr, Hanz Haber. He disagreed with- astronomers who have reported there will bo little danger from hitting meteors. The danger is enough, he said, to indicate that high altitude ships may be made of thin rubber ra ther than steel. Dr. Haber said the hazard is from tiny nar tides, weighing tenth Of a gram, but travelling 4dto 50 miles a second. This sDeed gives the little particle en ough to vaporize steel. Such vap orization, he said, would mean an explosion in the steel itself. RubberV would- not vaporize so perilously. xThe rubber would have to beXonly thick enough to hold air atsea level pressure. That "would give a space ship a structure resembling an auto tire casing. The queer nerve effects will come from- lack of the pull of gravitation on ?vyour body. Al ready, said Dr. Haber, in the flights ofV-2s and other high-altitude rockets, virtually zero gravitation is attained at under' 100 miles altitude. The rocket's accelera tion is partly responsible. f Your body will have no weight." As a result, said Dr. Haber, your nerves wgl become extraordinarily sensitive.4 j If anyone snaps his fingers in such a slfip the sound may be as startling as a gunshbt.

Nation's Ton LaSor Leaders Face Big Challenge in Fall Demands for I j By Harold W. Ward j 'WASHINGTON, Sept. 4-Ca-Threa of the nation's moat ireource ful labor leaders face major struggles for survival this Labor Day. John I Lewis. Philip Murray and Walter P. Reuther have risked their leadership over a fourth round of postwar wage increase and welfare-pension demands tor millions of workers. I Seldom since the first Labor Day parade in 1882 has there been such a challenge to industry across tha Draining table, aflectjpg so many Workers. Personal rivalries between the three big union chiefs play a part in thef struggles. - Murray, as head of the con gress of industrial organizations (CIO); and leader of up to a mil lion steelworkers, is most on the spot iHe forced his dispute with employers into the White ,House, and President Truman appointed a fact-finding board to recommend a solution. " . Regardless of the board's pro posed isettlement of Murray's 30- rcent Ipackage" demand, the big and little steel companies under contract with the steelworkers have indicated they may and probably will fight It -Marray Spot leearleas ' That makes Murray's position the most precarious. Both Lewis, head the independent united mine workers, and Reuther, who leads. nearly? a million members of the CIO united auto workers, have nudged their contract negotiation dates 'past the early September deadline for the steel' board's re port. I Only Murray knows how big a part his break with Lewis plays in his insistence on a 12 Vi -cent hour ly pay increase and a pension and group: hospital plan for steel work era. Lewis has had a welfare and pension plan since 1946, when the government seized strikebound mines! and made the Krug-Lewis agreement for their operation. Murray, stuck with long-term contracts, has had his hands tied but would like to force the steel industry to set up a liberal pen sion and hospital plan now. Lewis: First In Lino Reuther ij in much the tame po sition; A very vocal rank and file in thai auto plants keeps tha youth ful, red-headed Reuther on his toes. f Lewis and Murray get too far ahead on the so-called wel fare issues Reuthers generalship may pa severely attacked. Much of the zeal for pensions and hospital programs can be trac ed to Lewis'tha innovator." Shaggy-haired Lewis first asked for a welfare royalty in 1945. but the war was still raging and he withdfew his demand. After V-J day, ho went after it in earnest After a 59-day strike, he and Sec retarys of the Interior J. A. Krug agreed upon a five-cent royalty on each ton of coal for a welfare and disability program. By direct nego tiation; with the operators, he has built Bp to 20 cents a ton or about $100,000,000 a year.

By so do ing he kept the welfare payments coming in without too much loss and gave the miners a summer of at least partial employment Because of market conditions. the miners were working only two to lour or rive days anyway, j In delaying a contract showdown with the operators until after Mur ray has his, Lewis indicated again the resourcefulness which has made him the most controversial labor leader for a quarter century. He discarded the miners no contract, no work" policy and an nounced the diggers would contin ue indefinitely to work under terms of the pact which expired June 30. The three-day week, he said. would put the industry on a steady economic basis. Holiday Slows Mine-Started Worker Layoff WALLACE, Idaho, Sept 4-J&-An economic -paralysis slowly spreading over the Coeur D'Alene mining district was checked tem porarily today by the Labor Day holiday. 1 No. new strikes or shutdowns were reported.

Another 1,220 men were laid off by companies whose operations were curtailed indirectly by the strike. The CIO International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter workers has asked for a health and wel fare program which operators say should he negotiated individually with each company.
