(API -United Steelworkers delegates to day opened the third session of the union's ninth constitutional con vention forewarned by their presi dent to expect "important busi ness." USW President David J. McDon-l aid declined to elaborate on the atatement he made in the closing minutes of Tuesday's session. He held a brief meeting with the Ex ecutive Board immediately after ward.

There was speculation that the important business concerned the Dues Protest Committee, headed by Donald C. Rarick. a McKees port, Pa., mill worker. McDonald has accused the com mittee of dual unionism, which he defined as organized opposition to policies adopted by the interna tional convention. The committee was formed in protest of a $2 in crease in dues at the 1956 conven tion. Rarick, a delegate to the con vention, said he waited outside McDonald's headquarters office for nearly Vi hours Tuesday to ask the president for time to speak on the convention floor. McDonald has told the conven tion several times, that any dele gate will be given the floor for five minutes as provided in the con vention rules. In his keynote speech Monday, McDonald referred to the protest committee and told the delegates to "rid this cancer out of your bowels through your own doing." At the second session, the dele gates approved a resolution to press for a wage hike and a short er work week next year. Space Travel Is Postponed LOS ANGELES (AP) Mans first space journey has been in definitely postponed. Too much radiation. So says Dr. Albert R. Hihbs. hief of research analysis at Cal- tech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. A band of radiation surrounding the earth is much more intense than was believed, he reported Tuesday. Dr. Hibbs. hack from the Inter national Astronautical Federation convention in Amsterdam, said the intensity was disclosed by the U.S. satellites Explorers I and II and reported in detail by Explorer IV. He told a California Disaster Office meeting: "Until we can set the boundaries for this radiation field, we cannot even estimate the amount of protective, shielding which will be required to enable man to travel into space.

(AP) runaway Navy blimp soared free and unmanned for six hours in one of the nation's busiest airline routes yesterday and then settled back to earth by itself. The big craft came down about 25 miles east of nearby Glymco Naval Air Station, start of the strange joy ride, just as authori ties considered shooting it down as a menace to planes on the New York-Miami route. Other blimps, helicopters and planes kept the runaway under ob scrvation during its flight to a height of about 7,500 feet a mile west of Sapelo Island off the Georgia coast. The blimp's escapade began when the pilot lost rudder control during takeoff and brought the craft in for an emergency land ing, the Navy said. The blimp hit the ground so hard that gasoline tanks ruptured and the fuel drained out. That lightened the 287-foot craft so much that the harried 10-man crew had to release helium to get the bucking blimp to earth again Then the engines failed. The crew leaped out, tried to moor the blimp but it slipped free and was gone. A Navy spokesman said that ap parently a helium escape valve, which the crew pulled, finally did its job, bringing the blimp down without assistance.

Enthusiasm Keeps Me Spry Reports Actor s Father By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (AP) "When I do something, I do it with en thusiasm. If I can't be enthusiastic about a thing, 1 don't do it." That explains as well as any thing why Felix Locher has been able to find success as a film actor at the age of 76. Not bad, consid ering he never acted in his life until three years ago. It all started when Locher 'pro nounced Lo-shay) was visiting Jon Hall at a costume studio.

But the rest wasn't casyAt 73, he had to learn a brand-new pro fession. For a year, he went to his agent's office and practiced plays with hopeful young actress es. When he felt he was ready, he went after roles. He started with Matinee Theater on TV, did the Loretta Young Show, Have Gun, Will Travel, Shirley Temple's Storybook and features like "Kings Go Forth" and "Franken stein's Daughter." Now he has his biggest role to date, playing a Basque elder in "Between Thunder and the Sun" with Susan Hayward and Jeff Chandler. But he isn't devoting his full time to acting. He's also a crack insurance salesman "I'm trying lo sell my son a partnership pol icy; he was hard to sell, but I think he realizes he needs it now." He also holds 100 copyrights for his Telecurve World Maps, on which he lectures before military units and schools. These are pro jections of the earth's curves on flat surfaces. As if that wasn't enough, Felix also demonstrates and sells mas sage machines. "Enthusiasm that's the way to avoid growing old," he said. Decision Due On ike Aide WASHINGTON (UPD A White House decision is expected very soon on whether Sherman Adams will resign, as President Eisen hower's "chief of staff," accord- to highly placed Republican sources. These sources told United Press International the White House has been warned to expect a sharp increase in public criticism of Adams from GOP congressional candidates unless the controversi al White House aide steps down soon. They said the White House is expected to reach a decision shortly within the next few days. Adams returned from a fishing holiday to his White House desk Monday amid mounting reports he is on the way out. Many Repub licans claim he is a political mill stone around the neck of GOP candidates in the congressional campaign. These complaints creased after the Maine election in which Gov. Edmund Muskie de feated Sen. Frederick Payne, the Republican incumbent, in the sen atorial race. Payne had admitted accepting gifts from Adams mil lionaire friend, Bernard Goldfine, but even though this was never made an issue in the campaign the Democrats swept to an un precedented victory. Adams has been under fire since congressional investigators disclosed he accepted lavish gifts from Goldfine and had made in quiries at federal agencies about matters involving Goldfine's tex tile firms. Dava Of New. Video Season Looks Like Shows' Sunsei By CHARLES MERCER NEW YORK 'AP) Many tele vision viewers feel that the dawn ing of the new season looks more like the sunset of distinguished programming, so many good pro gram's have been dropped in re cent months. "See It Now," "Wide Wide World," "The Seven Lively Arts" will not return to the home screen. But "Omnibus." generally credit ed with inspiring these and other similar programs, will be back. On Oct. 26 over NBC-IV it will present its first of the season, an examination of capital punishment conducted by the noted Boston lawyer, Joseph N. Welch, and written by James Lee, the author of last season's "Life of Samuel Johnson." Reduced to an hour from its previous 90 minutes. "Omnibus" will be seen on alter nate Sundays for a run of 15 programs. Omnibus, aitnougn tne only survivor of its kind, is far from being an emaciated castaway in fact, its producer, Robert Saudck Associates, is quitely prospering in a season when many TV pro duction firms are noisily starving. Saudek, a quietly genial and sa pient veteran of television, cannot be induced to pontificate or pat himself on the back. If you ask. "How do you manage to swim so well against the present program ming current when many can't even swim with it?" he smilingly replies, "The analogy is yours, not mine." But he is most articulate about what he finds are the basic ele ments of distinguished TV. "The first criterion when you want to do something new in tele vision is to ask yourself why you want to do it. A sense of progres sion is the secret of a good pro gram; you must know more when it's ended than when it began. That's the cake, and showmanship is only the icing on it. But a straight documentary program with no sense of show manship is dull fare indeed. A program that's simply a series of bright jewels never is memorable, and if you can't remember a pro- ;ram it wasn t very successful. "You must start with a frame and then work to make what's within it as exciting as possible, just as an artist paints within a definite frame." BUICKS BUICKS LAST OF THE '53s!
