BEIRUT, Lebanon, Nov. 80
(P).-United Nations Secretary
General Dag Hammarskjold was
flying to Beirut today on the
first leg of a Middle East peace
mission.
He left New York last night
to begin a week of on-the-spot
conversations designed to ease
tensions that have fiared up in
recent weeks along Israel's
Arab borders
The Secretary General
planned to leave Beirut tomor-
row for Amman, capital OF
Jordan. He expected to go to
Jerusalem on Tuesday and pos
sibly to Damascus, Syria, after
ward.
Mr.. Hammarskjold's princi-
pal business in Amman will be
to discuss a Jordanian charge
that United States Marine Col
Byron Leary. acting head of the
U. N. truce supervisory organi-
cation, showed bias in handling
a recent Jordan-Israeli convoy
incident.
Mr.. Hammarskjold expressed
confidence in Col. Leary after
Jordon refused to accept any
future recommendations from
the colonel.
AS he left New York the Sec
retary-General did not desig-
nate what other subjects he
might take UP with Arab and
Israeli leaders. He said Of his
mission:
THE reason Is that some
problems have been accumu-
lating and I thought it would
be a good idea to have some
conversations with those in re-
sponsible positions in the area,

Increase Reported
In Unemployment
BY the Associated Press

Unemployment rose in most
major production and employ
ment centers during the fall
months, the Labor Department
reports.
The most significant jobless
increases were reported by
areas with worker concentra-
tions in aircraft, machinery
and primary metals, the de-
partment said yesterday.
Some increases were at
tributed to seasonal lulls in
food processing, lumber and
construction.
The department said in its
report that rhree-fifths of the
l49 major centers experienced
increases in unemployment. but
that generally the increases
were small to moderate.
Conditions in some areas
we're helped by seasonal hiring

in automobile plants now pro-

Republican administration
brought into office in 1852
has not only failed to remedy
the errors of its predecessors
but has followed them lit
orally.
The vast armies of public

eminent departments con-
slider it arrogant for repre-

inquire about pertinent mat
tiers concerning national Sc

mild impertinence for Con-

top classified information.
Only under the impact of
the launching of the Sputniks

what.

it is impossible for the legis-

in the dark and accept on
many occasions the word of
the executive appointees that
everything is done for the
