()Three men of iron from far-off Russia laid upon the new itopM'c doorstep today their claim to avia tion immortality and their challenge to the flying geniuses of the world's great nations by piloting a red-winged monoplane nearly 5.300 miles nun stop from Moscow across the top of the world to this American army post on the banks of the Columbia river. Weary of trying to punch their, way through the fog and rain blan. ket of the verdant Pacific Northwest, they took a bearing on the airport of Vancouver barracks and slid down through the dripping weather to a clean-cut landing at fi:22 a. m. Pa cific standard time Sunday, Just CA hours and 17 minutes after they left the capital of Soviet Russia at 5:05 p. m. Pacific standard time Thurs day. Short of Goal The conquerors of one of the most hazardous flights in aviation history fell some .102 miles short of their goal San Francisco and the only witnesses to the end of their journey other than themselves were some amazed soldiers of the barracks and three University R.O.T.C. students. The men who made into reality a five-year-old dream of Soviet Rus sia's air forces were: a tousled head ed, swarthy pilot. Valeri Chekaloff. who never relinguished the controls in more than two and one-half days of flyine: his co-pilot. George Rnihu koff, and Alexander Reliakoff, whose navigation in a wilderness of North Pole magnetic interferences brought the ship unerringly to the United States. At 0:30 a. m.. the fliers met with an army and civilian board headed hy Major Paul Burrows, commandrnt of Pearson field, end of the flight, and Harry K. Coffey, Tortlnnd, Ore., aviation official. Dismount Barograph They proceeded to the plane, wbe-e Chekaloff directed the removal of two barographs, which hold a sealed record of the course of the flight, altitudes maintained and take-off nnd landing. The official barocraph was car ried under one wing over the land ing gear and Chekaloff had difficulty in removing it, finally slashing his thumb and requiring firt aid. The injury was not serious.

Taking off from Moscow, the trio flew up and acrosi the north pole, down through the Arctic wastes of northern Canada, along the wild coast of British Columbia until they ran Into foul weather over Oragon. The big monoplane got aa far aouth aa Eugene before the pilot decided to turn back, finally landing at Pearson field, Vancouver.

With the ioro hour set by steel executives for 7 a. m tomorrow, involving about 24,000 men in the strike-ravaged Youngstown area, federal mediators strove desperately in Cleveland to effect a settlement. The back-to-work challenge, announced Jointly by Frank Purnell, president of Youngstown Sheet and Tube, and by Republic Steel, drew a swift counter-challenge. As soon as somebody gees .a those plants," said John Mayo, Younsttown director of the ateel workers organis ing committee, "the SOS will go out and there will le trouble. There will ba so many men (strikers) down there tbey won't go at. Wa can bring; in outside men, yi-u know." Simultaneously, the threat of a general strike of J 0,000 members of o-ganind labor rumblea la Warren, 1 '. miles from Youngstown. Grants Injunction The threat developed immediately after Judge Lynn B. Griffith, in a courtroom crowded with grim strik ers, granted the Republic Steel corp. an injunction restraining the activ ities of strike pickets. "if a general strike is called, It will be done quickly and without advance -otice." said John McKeown, C.I.O. otgnniser at Warren. In Cleveand, John L. Lews, the C.I.O. strike general, stalked silently from tbe federal mediation board con ference after an hour and a half of discussion on the moot question of igned labor contracts the prime matter of dispute in the 7-statn "bat 'e of steel" which has set more than 100,000 men idle in tbf great lakes r gion.
