HommorskjoId Differs
With Lebanon Officials

Mr.. Hammarskjold was pic
tured as slightly annoyed with
the Government because Of
reports he had been given Of
the extent of Syrian infiltration
into Lebanon. This has been
placed as high as 5000 men, but
Mr.. Hammarskjold is now said
to have found that the total
number of armed insurgents
here is only about 5000.
In addition, Mr.. Ham
marskjold had been under the
impression that the Govern
ment controlled the Lebanese
frontiers but has found that
the borders are mostly in con-
troll of the opposition.
Beirut was relatively quiet
but there was some fighting in
the Mozeitbeh area. the Chris
tan section adjacent to the
Basta Moslem area where the
opposition leadership is en-
trenched. Desultory firing was
also heard in the Zarif Moslem
area in the center Of town. But
generally both sides seemed to
be adhering to a tacit UNDER
standing that there be no major
attacks during Mr.. Ham,
marskjold's efforts here.
Rebels remained alert at their
roadblocks and strongpoints in

An estimated $500 million in
new money win invigorate the
Washington area economy over
the coming year. with President
Eisenhower's signature of the
big classified pay bill today.
Federal fiscal officers outline
these breakdowns Of the an
nual amounts to be channeled
into this area by the various
new pay boosts going into eff
feet:

classified employees. 500 mil
lion.
. The 6 to so per cent in
creases for military personnel.
$12.3 million.

workers, $40 million.
. The 10 per cent raise for

Q Annuity increases for re-
tired employees and survivors,
SIS million (still awaiting pres
