By ISABELLE SHELTON

ing about “my trip to Mos

about a jaunt to the French
Riviera.
When Perle Mesta managed
the coup of a visa to mysteri
ous Russia a few years ago,
one of the first Americans to
be so favored, she was able to
parlay the visit into a year’s
tour of the lucrative American
lecture circuit.
Now so many Americans
have joined the trail to Mos
cow that the returnees may
have trouble rounding up an
audience of two at a cocktail
party this fall.
Seven Senators Going
Seven members of the Sen
ate already have announced
plans to go to Moscow, and
an eighth. Senator Alben
Barkley, still Is considering the
trip.

of the feminine contlgent.
“Though nothing is settled
yet,” she emphasized yester
day. “My plans may depend
on how long he is to be gone.
If it was going to be for very
long, I might go with him for
just part of the trip. My
daughter (Jane Hadley) is
with me here, and I don’t want
to go off and leave her alone
all summer. I certainly would
love to make the trip if I can.”
Senator Barkley, who also

few words would help.” she
explained.
The Malones will leave here
by plane for New York Sun
day, and fly from there to
Europe, she declared.
“We are going pretty much
all over Russia, clear across
the country by train and air,”

country and seeing the indus
tries,’’ she said. “The Senator

a lot about a country by look
ing at things like that. I ex

very excited about the trip.”
