Don't Fight Automation, U.S. Is Told MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) Leaders of one of the nation's biggest labor unions the International Association of Machinists say Americans must learn to live with automation rather than fight it. In a report to be submitted at the opening session of the IAM's 1964 Grand Lodge convention Monday, officers of the union will say that automation, properly managed, can produce untold abundance and lasting security. But the report, signed by.

the general secretary and the nine vice presidents of the member union, warns that mass unemployment and economic chaos can result if the nation fails to solve the human problems created machines displace more more workrs. The IAM officers list these ways to offset unemployment caused by automation: Increasing purchasing power, reduce the work week to 35 hours, lengthen vacations to least four weeks a year, provide longer sabbatical leaves every 5 or 10 years, make it possible for workers to retire earlier on adequate pensions, and extend free public education after high school. The union officials, headed by President Al Hayes, will ask the 1,500 delegates representing lodges in 48 states and all but 3 Canadian provinces, to make these se goals part of the IAM bargaining and legislative programs. Speakers expected during the 10-day convention include President Johnson; George Meany, president of the AFL-CIO; and W. Willard Wirtz, U.S.

secretary of labor. Birch Leader Declines To Name Choice NEW YORK (AP) Robert Welch, president of the John Birch Society, declined Sunday to name his choice for president. Appearing the television program 'Meet The Welch said "the Birch Society takes absolutely no position on politics on either side." He said that to make public his own choice as voter between Democratic President Johnson Republican Sen. Barry Goldwater would construed by some as statement of position by the Birch society. When an interviewer quoted Goldwater as having called him "intemperate" and "unwise, Welch smiled and commented: "I don't know why he said that.

Senator Goldwater is running his own campaign business." The society's leader was asked about a statement he was said to have made calling Goldwater worthy of leadership. He said he the statement in 1958 and reiterated it in 1960. Welch stated he believed the society had benefitted from the "sheer publicity and advertising" of the battle in the GOP convention in California over whether the party should condemn extremists, including the Birchers along with the Ku Klux Klan and the Communist party. The convention voted down the proposal. Such condemnation was made by the Democrats later at their national convention.

Welch said he did not think the GOP failure to condemn the society as, extremist gave, the Birchers new lease life" because "we were already growing." "The more we grow, the more we gain membership," he said, "the worse the smears become."

Barkley Dead At 52 WASHINGTON (AP) Mrs. Jane Barkley, whose romance with former Vice President Alben Barkley made headlines, died Sunday at her Washington apartment. She was 52. Her 1949 wedding to the courtly Kentuckian climaxed a romance that was followed by much of America as the 72-yearold veep flew from Washington to St. Louis on weekends to press his suit for the hand of the comely widow.

Born Elizabeth Jane Rucker in she was educated in Europe where her mother was a pianist and teacher. Married at 19 to an attorney, Carleton S. Hadley, she was widowed by his death in 1945 and went to work as a secretary at Washington University in St. Louis. After Barkley died in 1956, she returned to secretarial work and at the time of her death was administrative assistant Oswald S.

She was of Republican leanings before she married Democrat Barkley, and was an ardent supporter of Wendell Willkie, the GOP presidential candidate against Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940.

She once tried to convert her Democratic milkman by leaving him a note reading "No Willkie, no milkie." But she was converted and in 1950 campaigned for Democratic candidates.
