Her husband supervised

friends say, "a genius in his

was chief engineer at the

Philadelphia. Among prof.

noted, too, that the old barn
was held together by wooden
pegs except for handmade
nails used in the roofing.
In re-doing the barn, he
used matching wood through

wallpaper. Floor boards are
old timbers from another
farm building. Some wood
in the house came from an
old tobacco barn.
The Harpers' huge living
room once had a big door
through which haywagons
were driven to be unloaded

Senate Delay Seen
The clouded outlook in the
House has cast doubt on
Senate plans to wait for House
action on the minimum-wage
bill. which has been approved
by the Labor Committees Of
both chambers. Senator Ken

bill, has said he expects the
measure to get to the Senate
floor early next week. But an
other informed source said
yesterday action probably will
be delayed.
Senator Kennedy, the 'front.'

nation, is having trouble with
another high-priority labor bill
he sponsors-the measure to
relax restrictions against pic
keting by building trades
unions. He has pledged to OBJ
tain a Senate vote on this bill
this year.
But Senator Goldwater, Re-
publican Of Arizona, threatened
yesterday to use delaying
tactics to block the bill. He in
voked strict interpretations Of
the rule book to cut short

and said he will continue to
"use all the tools the minority
has" to stall the bill.

Senator Says Cleveland Industrialist Should Pay For Dealings with Red Boss

WASHINGTON, R - Senator Thomas Dodd D-Conn) called in Senate speech Thursday for prosecution of Cyrus Eaton, Cleve- land industrialist, for his dealings with the Soviet Union.
 Dodd said Eaton flew to Paris to talk with Soviet Premier Khrushchev after the collapse of the summit conference.
 Eaton has violated the Logan Act and ought to be prosecuted for it," Dodd declared.
 The Logan Act forbids private citizens from negotiating with for eign powers with intent to influ- ence U S. policy. It provides pen alties up to three years imprison- ment.
 Eaton, 76, arrived in Paris short ly before Khrushchev departed. They talked for about Is minutes at the airport.
 Afterward, Eaton said Khrush- chev had expressed confidence that Eventually both his country and mine would reach a position of understanding and friendship"
 Eaton also quoted Khrushchev as saying he wished all capitalists "had my point of view"
 Eaton has long been a critic of some aspects of U. S. policy and has declared that Americans need to reappraiSe themselves and their systems of philosophy and government. He has repeatedly called for better understanding between the United States and the Soviet Union.
 On May 3, the Soviets awarded Eaton their Lenin Peace Prize.
 Eaton's acquaintance with the Soviet Premier began in 1858 when Eaton visited Moscow.

PARIS, R - A twin-jet Cara velle carrying 37 persons collided with light training plane 5000 feet up yesterday. The airliner landed safely with a great hole ripped in the roof. The light planes engine was still stuck in the jets fuselage.
 One of the passengers was killed by flying debris. The pilot of the light plane also perished. The airline said 25 persons were injured.
 The Caravelle landed at Orly Field at almost the same time Soviet Premier Khrushchev left there for Berlin aboard his spe- cial turboprop plane. Khrushchev apparently was unaware of the accident.
 The collision took place about five miles from Orly Field as the Air Algeria Caravelle was coming down for landing after a trip from North Africa.

Change In Orbital Time
 Reported for Russ Satellite

WASHINGTON, LR = The Rus sian space ship" has increased its time of orbit around the earth by several minutes. U. s. scientists as yet do not know how the change was brought about.
 A possible explanation is that the changed orbit resulted from release of the sealed cabin carry ing dummy space man. The Rus sians said an astronaut cabin would be elected.
 Another speculative theory is that the space vehicle may have carried some additional fuel which, when triggered from the earth, caused the sphere to go into higher orbit.
 The Air Force reported it had been informed by the National Space Surveillance Control Gen. ter at Hanscom Field, Bedford, Mass, that tracking of the new satellite had revealed that its orbital period has changed from 9118 minutes to 94.27 minutes.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
 By OLAF HALVERSON

Meteors glow because they have been rushed through space at planetary speed, and, striking our atmosphere is like striking a match against stone wall.
 The friction causes the smaller particles to burst into flame and melt in streak of fire. Thunders and visible explosions sometimes are heard when a meteor falls. The meteors that fall to the ground are called meteorites.
 Occasionally meteorite found is very large, few weighing sev- eral tons. The one brought by Commander Peary from Green land is II feet long, feet wide, and weighs 36 tons. This is now on display in the Museum of Nat ural History in New York City.
 The predominating element in one class of meteorites is iron, generally combined with a small amount of nickel.

 Nixon said Wednesday at Buff falo, N.
