Mild Weather
Seen for Area in
Next 80 Days

The Weather Bureaus long
range prophets see nothing but
good for the Eastern third of
the Nation the next 80 days.
In its outlook" for the period
ending in mid-March, the Bu-
reau's Extended Forecast Sec
ton in Suitland figures the
East has a respite coming from
unreasonable cold and snow the
past month.
"On the other hand the
Western half of the Nation
which has been unseasonably
warm is expected to average
below normal with coldest
weather in the Northern
Plains" the report said.
Temperatures in the East
should average above normal
as much as is degrees warmer
than during the past month.
AS for all the wet stuff, pre-
cipitation east of the Appa-
lachians is expected to be about
normal, while plenty of sleet
and snow is seen for the north
ern areas to the West.
"The reason for this expected
reversal Of weather pattern lies
in a change in the prevailing
upper air wind streams over
the Northern Hemisphere
which is more accentuated
than the normal seasonal
change" the report said.
Giving the 30-day outlook q
good start, the forecast for to-
day and tomorrow Is for mild
temperatures with some rain
likely tomorrow afternoon.

Congress will be asked for q
deficiency appropriation to help
cover the Districts cost of snow

Engineer Commissioner Fred

eted for snow removal was ex-
hausted early this winter.
District officials figure the ac-
tual net deficit in expenditures
for fighting snow is $1,055,677.
They explain that $461, ,295
of the total cost was absorbed
by other departments such as
the highway department which
used its trucks to remove snow,
for example, instead of road
work.

he said, declaring that Negroes

He said the White House has
fewer than a dozen Negro en-

Newest Moon Suit
Awesome but Nice

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 16
(AP).-The newest thing in
moon suits is an awesome
monster 71a feet tall in which
an astronaut can explore the
lunar surface for days at a
time without having to return
to base.
When perfected the weird
looking suit should enable the
explorer to:
/. Feed himself from cans
carried inside its bulbous, 30
inch-diameter aluminium torso.
2. Drive his moon jeep"
with a remote-control panel,
also built inside the torso.
3. Leave the jeep and walk
about surveying and collecting
rock samples.
4. Catch maps in a special
cradle projecting from the
front Of the moonmobile.
The moon suit was modelled
yesterday by DR.. John Lyman,
head Of the biotechnology lab
oratory Of the University of

DR.. Lyman and q group Of
students next month will begin

vised the committee that 1--WE
neither desire nor need an
$1,000 increase in our State
tax base" He said that If the
proposed bill retains that fl
nancing provision, Virginia
would have to accept it.
Cites Assembly Plea
This is particularly dis
heartening to me-" he con-
tinued. "At the last session of
the Virginia General Assembly
I asked that our State unem-
ployment tax be increased. Our
trust fund for the payment of
benefits was not in dangerous
condition but its trend as COM
pared with the increase in risk
has been steadily downward for
IA number Of years.
THE tax increase was passed
by an overwhelming majority
in both houses Of the Assembly
and our State tax table was
revised upward. A total of 13
new rates was added to our tax
schedule. The financing provi-
sions Of the present bill now
threaten to overdo what Vir-
ginia has just done. If the wage
base is increased, I must go
back and ask the General
Assembly to revise again, this
time in the opposite direction.
ut is precisely this kind of
action which thwarts State ini-
tiative in a field where every
where we hear the cry for State
responsibility"
Hardship on States
Mr.. Hill and officials of
State employment agencies in
Texas, Idaho, Kansas. Georgia
and Arizona, also cautioned the
committee against the financ-
ing plan they said would not
only work a hardship on many
States, but also would diScrimi-
nate by requiring employers
alone to pay ultimately for the

Soviet Veto Is Seen
On Congo Pro posoI
Deadlock
In Council
Held Sure
By EARL H. VOSS

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Feb. 16.-Communist bloc del-|
egateS today predicted a Soviet
veto for a proposed three
power compromise resolution
that would authorize the Unit-
ed Nations to use force to
stop the fighting in the Congo.
The Soviet Union has de1
manded the withdrawal Of al
United Nations forces from tho
Congo in q month.
Ceylon, Liberia and the
United Arab Republic were
seeking support among African
and Asian powers for q plan
they hoped could strengthen
the U. N. in the Congo and
still enable the Soviet Union
to abstain, once the resolution
was brought to a vote in the
Security Council.
Deadlock Forecast
Communist delegates fore
cast, however, that a Security
Council deadlock and an emer-
gency session Of the General
Assembly are inevitable. They
would not say whether Soviet
Delegate Valerian Zorin would
call for a special session.
Communist delegations do
not expect a reversal of the
TOO defeat the Communist
bloc suffered in last Septem-
ber's special assembly on the
Congo.
Although some Africa nI
states, slch as Guinea and
Mali. already were lining up
with the Soviet bloc, the Com.
munists' main objective was
to gain favor throughout the
world by dramatizing their
outrage at the death Of Patrice
Lumumba, former Congo Pre-
mier, and to smear the United
States. Belgium, Secretary Gen.
eral Dag Hammarskjold and!
other Western powers with the
blame for his murder.
Calls by Mr.. Hammarskjold

A broad program Of legisla-
ton to improve the lot Of
elderly persons was recon-
mended to the Senate today
by the three Democrats on a
special Subcommittee on Prob
lens Of the Aged.
The subcommittee singled
out a Social Security type Of
medical care as the problem Of
first priority, but proposed
broader coverage than has been
recommended by the Kennedy
administration.
Urges Wider COverage
The subcommittee, headed
by Senator Pat Mcnamara,
Democrat Of Michigan, urged
that the new medical care pro-
gram include not only the 1877
million entitled to social Sc
curity retirement, but also the
2.8 million who by 1862 either
will be on old-age assistance
Estate relief rolls) or other
wise ineligible for social Sc
curiity benefits.
In introducing the admins
tration bill Monday. Senator
Anderson, Democrat Of New
Mexico. insisted that all except
100000 Of the 1877 million per-
sons over 65 will be provided
for under some existing pro-
gram, once the administration
bill goes through.
State Action is Key
Senator Anderson said these
remaining 100000 might be
cared for under the voluntary
Federal-State plan passed by
the last Congress if their States
embrace that Federal aid bill
and they can show they do not
have sufficient means to meet
all their medical expenses.

Committee he did not object TO
the proposed one-year emer-
gency program to provide pay
ments to jobless workers who
have exhausted their State
benefits since last October.
But he opposed the provision
whereby Federal outlays from
the unemployment compensa-
ton fund would be replaced by
increasing from $1,000 to $4,000
the wage base on which the un-
employment tax is collected. He
suggested that an unemploy-
ment take rate increase would
be preferable.
Mr.. Hill and officials Of sew
eral other States testified at
the second day Of committee
hearings on this plan and q
companion bill requested by the
administration for broader aid
to dependent children of par
entS acutely affected by un-
employment.
House Okay Seen
The public hearings end to-
morrow and the committee will
start discussing the measure in
closed session Monday. Some
Democratic members said the
legislation probably would be
reported out late next week and
passed by the House early in
March.
Commissioner Hill said that
although the proposed extern
sion Of benefits would be linn
tied to one year and 60 to an
estimated 3 million jobless
workers during that period, the
proposed wage base increase to
$4,000 would be permanent.
Here, it seems to me, we
have the anomalous situation
of a permanent taxing measure
designed ostensibly to support
a temporary program, he said.
obviously, the permanent ex-
tension of the taxable wage
base is intended to serve some
purpose beyond simply carry
ing the financial burden Of the
proposed temporary extension
of benefits"

LONDON, Feb. 16.-When
the last window has been
shattered in Belgian diplomatic
missions, Moscow will still have
to face sober reality in the
Congo.
The former Belgian colony
astride the Equator is not a
Korea with q Communist power
on its border. It is not q Hun
gary, where Soviet tanks could
bull their way to control, or a
Finland or q Poland.
The Soviet Union, in trying
to set up. Antoine Gizenga as its
puppet ruler of the Congo, is
dealing with one of the remain
ing primitive areas of the world
and a very large one.
The smart cities built by the
BelgianS, the rich copper and
diamond mines, the vast plan
tations now disintegrating,
camouflage a tribal society
about as receptive to commu-
nism as it would be to q revived
slave trade.
Soviet Failure Noted
Perhaps 80 per cent Of the
"a million Congolese recognize
no more formal authority than
their tribal chiefs and head
men despite eight months of
independence from Belgian rule.
Had the central government
in Leopoldville functioned

Balloon Rocket
Fired and Lost;
Orbit Uncertain
Wollops IsI0nd
Test Is First to
Use Solid Fuel
By the Associated Press

The United States put up q
i2-foot balloon-type space
vehicle today, but 31a hours
later officials could not say
whether it had gone into orbit.
By that time the sphere,
hurled up from the National
Aeronauties and Space Ad-
ministration's station at Wal
lops Island, Va, should have
been far into its second trip
around the earth.
Just over half an hour after
that, at 1915 pm. space
agency officials said "the
satellite is lost but we still do
not know whether or not it
went into orbit"
NASA officials said they had
confirmed that the fourth
stage Of the "poor mans
rocket" which launched the
plastic and aluminium balloon
had gone into orbit.
The trial was q big league
test for the Scout rocket, q
major reliance Of this country
In the space race with Russia.
Two o. s. Firsts
Success would mean two
United States firsts:
Achievement Of orbit with .
launching vehicle using the
cheaper and easier-to-handle
solid propeIlants that would
eliminate many Of the head
aches of earlier launchings.
Successful placement Of q
satellite in orbit from a launch
ing site other than Cape Canav-
eral, Fla. or the Pacific missile
range on the Southern Cali
fornia coast.
NASA said confirmation of
orbit for the rocket casing was
based on acquisition Of the
tracking beacon on the casing
by the Johannesburg (South
Africa minitrack station on
its second pass (around the
earth)."
Hopes for full success had
run high from the first min
utes after the 72-foot, four
stage rocket roared aloft ct
sos an. EST.
NASA confirmed in the first
hour that all FOUR Gtages had
fired.
Then there were signals In,
terpreted as meaning the col
lapsed balloon had been sue
ceSSfully elected from the
burned-out fourth stage and
had been inflated.
Success Uncertain
But as tracking signals def
initely ;dentifiable as coming
from the sphere itself were
lost, scientists said they were
unsure whether separation from
the rocket casing had been ac-I
complished.
The last fully recognized sig
nal from the balloon, up to
noon EST. had been picked
up at johannesburg at S:42
am. on the first turn around
the earth.
The next tracking station,
in Woomera, Australia, picked
UP a signal at 9:20. But NASA,
after first taking it as a trans
mission from the sphere, said
later it had not been deter
mined If 1t was from the sphere
or the fourth stage casing"
"All (tracking) stations are
continuing attempts to acquire
(pick up signals from) the
sphere or the fourth stage cas-
ing" the space agency said.
The sphere had been due
over San Diego, Calf. at 1904
am. but no signals were heard
