Effort Seen
For Revival
OfTroiku'
BY EARL H. VOSS
Star Staff Writer

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Sept. 18.-Fate has handed the
Soviet Union a new opportunity
to press its campaign to de-
stroy the power of the United
Nations.
The death of United Nations
Secretary General Dag Ham
marskjold in a plane crash
in Northern Rhodesia has ac-
complished an important part
of what Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev sought unsuccessfully to
do here just a year ago.
The Soviet Communist boss
electrified last years General
Assembly when he demanded
that the secretary general re-
sign and be replaced by three
man executive representing
Communist, Western and un-
committed blocs. The three-man
plan is known as the troika.
This governing group could
act only in unanimity, accord
ing to the Russian proposal,
giving the Soviet Union a veto
over any U. N. action such as
that directed by Mr.. Hammar-
skiold in the Congo.
Term Ran to 1868
MIR. Hammarskjold's term was
not to have expired until April,
1868. Delegations here expected
a showdown with the Soviet
Union on Mr.. Hammarskjold's
replacement at that time.
Mr., Hammarskjold's death
now brings the unwelcome
showdown in the midst of the
opening of a new General As
sembly session.
The Assembly was scheduled
to convene tomorrow and was
expected to come to grips
quickly with mounting pres
sures for the admission of Red
China. Other troublesome prob
lens include the Congo, Berlin,
disarmament and East-West
problems in general.
Ambassador Nathan Barnes
of Liberia, president of the Sc
curity Council for September,
called a private. informal meet
ing of the Council for late this
afternoon. There was no indi-
cation of the specific matters
to be discussed, but it was as
sumed the question of a success
sor to Mr.. Hammarskjold would
be on the agenda.
Foreign ministers and am
bassadors from Communist ma
tions were called to the Soviet
mission in New York this
morning to meet with Foreign
Minister Gromyko to assess
the sudden turn of events.
The purpose of this meeting
was said to be to coordinate
strategy for electing General
Assembly vice presidents, but
it was considered certain the
main topic would be how to
proceed with Soviet-bloc pres
sures for the three-man execu-
tive or "troika" formula for
administering the United Ma
tions.
There was some speculation
that another secretary general
might never be elected.
Both Have Veto
Any replacement for Mr..
Hammarskjold would have to-
be recommended by the H.
member Security Council where
both the Soviet Union and the
Western powers have a veto. If
the five permanent members of
the Security Council, the
United States, the Soviet Union,
Britain, France and Nationalist
China. could ever agree on a
candidate, the recommendation
would then have to be ratified
by two-thirds of the voting

D. c. FoIIout Up 1919,
Highest Ever Recorded
BY ROBERTA HORNIG
Star staff Writer

Radioactive fallout in the
District area increased 10 to IL

the highest amount ever re-
corded here, the Public Health
Service reported today.
The finding "unqueStionably

Secretary Ribicoff announced.
Mr.. Ribicotf said he had been
assured the fallout increase did
not present a threat to health
at this time.
The Districts previous fall
out high was in November,
1858. Since September /, Rus

ploSions in the atmosphere.
Other Areas Affected
The Districts fallout rise
was announced along with in
creases in IL other Eastern or
Northern States today by the

reporters.
Secretary Ribicoff said that
careful laboratory and field
analysis of the nature and ul-
innate disposition of the ra-
dioactive substances involved
will be necessary.
However, I am assured by
the Public Health Service that
unless radiation levels of this
range are sustained over a
long period of time, they do
not pose a public health
threat"

35.3 mlcromicrocuries yester-

On Education
Money Items Make
Adjournment This
Week Uncertain
By G. A. O'LEARY
Star Staff Writer

ton on a limited Federal aid to
education bill, as both houses
began what they hope will be
the last week of the session.
But hopes of adjourning this
week were rendered somewhat
uncertain by the amount q
work remaining to be done on
important money bills in the
Senate Appropriations Com
mittee.
Conferees on the foreign aid
appropria tions had to postpone
their meeting scheduled for to-
day until Thursday morning,
partly because of the funeral
of the late Representative
Overton Brooks of Louisiana
and partly because the Senate
committee still has two other
appropriation bills to report
out this week.
One is the big $3.6 billion
public works measure, the other
the last supplemental bill,
which will not be reported from
the Senate committee until Fri
day. Some members thought
this might force the two houses
to remain for several days next
week.
2-Year Education Aid
Final action on education
came when the House con-
Cured in the Senate bill ex-
tending for two years existing
laws giving Federal aid to i'm
pacted areas and to students
pursuing subjects that contrib
ute to national defense. The
House vote was 342 to 18.
The school bill now goes to
President Kennedy for sigma
ture, but it is far less than his
original $2.5 billion request for
aid to public schools generally
for classroom construction and
teachers salaries.
The impacted area law helps
communities where Federal ac-
tivities overcrowd the local |
schools.
The impacted aid program
carries a potential benefit to
the Washington suburban area
of about SIS million. The for
mula has not been applied to
this years statistics, but the
annual grants previously have
amounted to around 81 million
in Prince Georges County, S3.8
million in Montgomery Coun-
ty, $5.6 million in Fairfax
County, SIT million in Airing
ton County, $649,000 in Alex
andria and $136,000 in Falls
Church.
Peace Corps to Conferees
On another action, the House
agreed to send the Peace Corps
bill to conference with the Sen
ate, and those conferees are
meeting this afternoon.
Meanwhile, the Senate was
expected to mark time until
tomorrow in the last-minute
drive launched by leaders Sat-
urday to adopt a new anti
filibuster rule.
The House also is expected
to vote today on the bill already
passed by the Senate to estab-
llsh a new Disarmament !
Agency in the State Depart
ment.
81 Billion Hoped For
The conference on foreign
aid, postponed from this morn
ing to this afternoon, must
reach a compromise between
the S3.6 billion voted by the
House, and the $4.2 billion
Senate bill, which allowed
nearly the full amount author
lied in the basic foreign aid
law.
If the confereeS follow the
normal course they will meet
each other half way, or about
$50 billion, but administration
leaders are hoping the House
managers will agree to at least

The new amendments to the
social security law, signed by
President Kennedy June 80,
give men early benefit rights
similar to those women have had
since 1856.
The change applies to men be-
tween 62 and IS years of age.
and is designed especially to
help those who are unable to
find employment because Of their
age Or poor health.
"A man now 81 to IS years Of
age can start receiving .bene-
fits with the month of August.
But if he retires before he reach
es age IS, the monthly amount
of benefit paid to him is re-
duced. He will continue to be
paid the reduced amount even
after he reaches IS.
Dependent WidoWers and the
dependent fathers Of workers
who have died also can get
benefits at age G.. Their benefits
like those Of widows and de-
pendent mothers, are not reduc-
ed.
For men who retire early. the
amount by which their benefits
will be reduced depends on the
numbr of months for which they
will receive benefits while still
under IS. A worker who re-
tires and claims his benefits as
soon as he reaches 81 will quail
lfy for 80 percent of the amount
that would be payable to him
at age IS based on his average
earnings up until his retirement.
If he waits until he is 60, he
will get 86 and two thirds per
cent OF his full benefit: and if he
waits until 81, the amount will
be SO and one-third percent.
The reductions are figured SO
that a person may expect to
receive. on the average, about
the same amount if he takes
reduced benefits beginning be-
fore he is IS, or waits until IS.

family of a retired worker can

worker retires at 81 or if he
waits. Eligible dependents in
