The more pronounced the quar- terly pay decline during the mea- surfing period, the more unem- ployment security tax the en- ployer, and his employees, will have to pay.
 In effect, the object of the pro- gram is to force those employers engaged in extreme seasonal op- rations to pay more unemploy- ment security taxes.
 For example, if an employer had a business which is not of a seasonal nature and his payroll stayed at the same level or in- creased-but did not decline - during the measuring period, he and his employees would be elig- ible for the lowest tax rate avail able.
 That would be Is per cent of the total payroll for the employer and 8 per cent of his pay for each employe.
 The rate is boosted, commen- surate with the increase in quar- terly pay decline to top of 4.9 per cent, of which 4 per cent is paid by the employer and g of 1 per cent by the employe.
 Of the states 4,300 employers, approximately 3,400 are eligible for the variable tax rate.
 The tax rates which go into ef- feet Saturday will remain in ef- feet only through the last quarter of this year. New tax rates will be issued to each business in the state prior to Jan. 1.
 This new rate will continue in effect all through 1861.

Test of Strength
 At JUN. Assembly Comes Tomorrow

UNITED NATIONS, NY, R- Premier Khrushchev, smarting under sharp defeats on two of his major objectives, figured pro- minently today in critical huddles of government chiefs in advance of JUN. General Assembly show down votes.
 The Assembly's 21 member steering committee Wrangled until the early morning hours in a meeting which resulted in set-- backs for the Soviet premier on the admission of Red China and immediate debate on his charges of Western aggression" in the Congo. He also failed to build support for his efforts to under mine the office of Secretary-Gen- eral Dag Hammarskjold.
 As the Assembly policy debate resumed, Khrushchev was in con- ference with President Tito of Communist ruled Yugoslavia at Soviet U.N delegation headquar- ters. That was only one of whirl of high-level conferences.
 US. Secretary of State Chris tian Herter held a series of meet ings with delegates of various na- tions in advance of a major Vest ern reply to Khrushchev to be delivered in the Assembly by Prime Minister MacMillan of Brit ain tomorrow afternoon.
 The big test of relative strength of the Soviet and Western sides in the Hateful debate will come when the 96 = member Assembly discusses in full session the agenda items taken up in the long overnight wrangle by the steering committee. The world will watch closely to determine just how much strength either side has picked up or lost.

last nights debate, more leaned
toward Mr.. Kennedy than
toward Vice President Nixon.
But the influence involved a
change Of intensity, not Of al
legiarce. Those influenced by
Senator Kennedy had leaned
toward him in the first place.
The debate, however, strength
ened their resolve.
The same situation held true
for those Influenced by Mr..
Nixon. Nixon supporters be-
fore the debate. they became
stronger Nixon supporters
after it.
The most decisive change of
position. in fact, was recorded
by a retired railroad man who
moved from the Kennedy col
umn to the undecided column.
I'm not just sure what it
was tonight" Oliver Jewett of
Columbus. Ohio, said, "but now
I just don't know which one to

AP staffers made the check
by telephone. In each area,
they kept phoning at random
until they reached 10 qualified
voters who had seen the whole
program. 1t took 232 calls to
find 100 persons who met those
qualifications.
The bureaus making the sur
vey were in Atlanta, Louisville,
Philadelphia. Columbus, Ohio;
Omaha, Phoenix, San Fran
cisco. Portland. Oreg.; Port
land. Me-, and Richmond, Va.
Those interviewed came from
small towns as well as the cities
in which the AP bureaus are
located.
OF the hundred, 80 said they
were not influenced in any way
by the debate. Twelve said
the debate influenced or REIN
forced a leaning toward Sem
ator Kennedy and six said the
debate influenced or reinforced
a leaning toward Mr.. Nixon.
Two others said the debate
definitely influenced their
thinking but they couldn't say
toward which candidate.
Twenty-one persons in last
nights check came from small
towns. The debate did not in
fluence 20 of them at all. The
other person said the debate
Influenced him toward Mr.
Kennedy.
Some typical comment:
Mrs. Gwenn Myers, a widow
from Philadelphia: I'm a'dyed
in the wool Nixon supporter.
Nothing could sway me-"
Mrs. Dean Parry, a Scots
dale. Ariz., housewife: II was
leaning toward Kennedy before
the debate and now I'm for
him more than ever"
u. C. Robbitt, a Phoenix ac-
countant: Il was already for
Nixon. but he finally showed
his fire and put Kennedy on the
defense"
