WASHINGTON, - LR) Sec retary of Labor Lewis B. Schwel- lenbach, 53, former Senator and federal judge, died early today after long illness.
 Mrs. Schwellenbach was at his bedside at the time of his death.
 The White House said death resulted from cardiac failure which complicated his recent ill., ness"
 SchWellenbach was a former democratic senator from Wash lngton state and federal district court judge. He succeeded Frances Perkins, one of the original mem bers of the late president Roos- eVelt's cabinet.
 SchWellenbach was the first man in the history of the Pacific northwest ever to serve all three branches of the federal govern ment: lawmaker, jurist and execu- tive. Few public officials have had such varied experience.

Experimental XS-l Air F0cre Plane
 Faster Than Sound

WASHINGTON, - (P) Air Secretary Symington said today the Air Force research plane XS-1 several times has flown much faster than the speed of sound."
 Symington told a news confer ence that so far as he knows no other plane has achieved super sonic speed, that is, faster than sound travels.
 The first and only pilot to fly the XS-1 beyond the speed of sound is Capt. Charles E. Yeager, 25, fighter pilot who destroyed 13 German planes while serving with the Air Force.
 Yeager, a native of Myrna, w. Va, is a test pilot assigned to the Air Materiel Command at Wright Field, Ohio.
 The speed of sound is 763 miles an hour under standard conditions which are with a temperature of 59 degrees Farenheit at sea level.
 The XS-l has a wing span of 28 feet, a length of 31 feet and is II feet high. Its empty weight is 4,892 pounds, including more than 800 pounds of devices for measuring performance.
 It carries 5000 pounds of fuel for it's rocket motor.
 The plane was designed to reach 1,017 miles an hour at 40,000 feet and 1,700 miles an hour at 80,000 feet.
