NucIeor Weapon
Exploded as 900
els MuneuVer

CAMP MERCURY, New, July
II (AP) "A nuclear weapon
possibly a Davy Crockett atomic
mortar shell-was exploded in
the air at the Nevada test site
today while 900 soldiers took
part in BATTLEFIELD maneuvers.
The Atomic Energy Commits
sion and the Department of
Defense said the blast was of
low yield, indicating it did not
exceed the equivalent of 10000
tons of TINT.
A joint announcement said
the exercise simulated realistic
battle conditions in the atomic
age and involved both a nuclear
defamation and firing of con-
ventional weapons.
The firing was under super
vision of the United States
Continental Army Command
with headquarters at Fort Mon
roe, Va. The troops who took
part were with the 4th Infantry
Division from Fort Lewis, Wash.
The test was conducted in
secrecy and neither the Acc
nor the military would give any
details. Outside observers were
barred from the area.
Believed to have been among
observers at today's atmospheric
blast were Attorney General
Robert Kennedy and Gen. Max
we'll Taylor. the Presidents
military adviser.

Senate Approaches Vote
On Kennedy Mediocre Plan

But it would still face its
biggest hurdle in the House,
where one objection would
make it necessary to route the
bill through the Rules Com
mittee before it can be sent to

doubt it would become law this
year.
The fact that the House
Ways and Means Committee
has failed to act on any health
insurance plan also will operate
against House acceptance of it
as a rider on the welfare bill.
1t involves tax increases. end
opponents point out that the
House is jealous of its author
ity to originate tax bills.
Tax Take Stressed
Senators Kerr, Democrat of
Oklahoma, and Harry F. Byrd,
Democrat of Virginia, leading
opponents Of the social security
approach, struck hard yester-
day at the fact that the Ander-
son amendment would in
crease payroll taxes of all wage
earnerS and employers at a
time when there is a growing
demand for tax cuts.
They told the Senate that
the pending proposal will boost
payroll taxes by $22 billion in
1864. Part of this increase
would take effect in January
of 1868, when the amendment
would broaden from $4,000 to
$500 the amount of annual
wages on which existing and
future social security taxes
would be collected.
This would be followed in
1864 by an increase of one
fourth of one per cent each m
the rate of tax paid by en-
ploye and employer.
Senator Byrd submitted a
table showing that under pres
ent law the social security tax
nf an individual in 1868 would
be STA, but Under the Ander-
son amendment it would go up
to S188.50.
The rates are scheduled to

Office Chores
Called Too Heavy
By BETTY MILES
Star Staff Writer

A drastic cut in paper work
and establishment of more con-
tact between social workers and
indigentS in the field was called
for today in a report to the
Commissioners.
The report prepared by the
District Action Task Force on
Public Assistance showed that
social workers with an average
of $50 cases each can allot only
an average of five hours a year
to a welfare recipient.
1t contends that only is per
cent of a workers time can be
spent on field work, while IS
per cent is taken up with office
work.
Relief Case Review
The report also recommends
that the assistance division no
longer review cases when
eligibility has been questioned
and both social workers and
investigators are involved. In
stead, a new operation should
be set up within the depart
ment for an objective review.
These major task force rec
concentrations deal with two
vital questions in the relief
program today - rehabilitation
and eligibility.
The task force was created
in the wake of criticism of the
Welfare Department after a
special investigation showed
that So per cent of a sample
of Aid to Dependent Children
cases were ineligible. The study
was stimulated by Senator
Robert Byrd, Democrat of West
Virginia, and chairman of the
District Senate Appropriations
Subcommittee. The subcom-
mittee currently is holding
hearings on the District budget
for fiscal 1868.
The report was released today
by Commissioner John B. Dun
can, who is responsible for
welfare matters. Mr.. Duncan
said recommendations would
be implemented as soon as
practicable.
Cut Paper Work
He is chairman of the task
force that included Gerard M.
Shea, welfare director; j. E.
Bindeman, chairman of the
Public Welfare Advisory Coun-
Gil, and Schuyler Lowe, director
of general administration and
the Commissioners top staff
official. Barney Farber, deputy
accounting officer in the Dis
trict finance office, was staff
director.
The Commissioners author
lied the task force in March.
The report recommends sew
eral measures for cutting down
on paper work. One is that
workers make entries into their
records at the time of an in
terview with a client, as a doc
tor does, instead of taking
notes for transcription. An
other suggestion urges extern
sive use of tabulating and other
machines.

President Kennedy's proposal

President Kennedy called
Soviet Ambassador Anatoly
Dobrynin to the White House
this evening for an unusual
face-to-face discussion of cold
war issues.

Pierre Salinger said the Presi-

Soviet Ambassador about Berlin
and the Geneva negotiations
seeking agreements for disar-
mament and ban on nuclear

The conference was set for
Is pm. in Mr.. Kennedy's office.
When he made the announce

whether Secretary of State RuSk

officials might take part in the
discussions.
Mr.. Salinger said the PreSi-
dent had not had an oppor-
tunity to talk with Mr. Dobry-
min about EaSt-West issues
since the Soviet Ambassador
presented his credentials on
March 80. The only other time
he has seen Mr.. Dobrynin was
when the Ambassador accom-

Mr.. Kennedy is understood
to be particularly anxious to
make sure lis determination to
resist any Communist move
against the freedom of West
Berlin is fully understood by
the Kremlin.
He also wants to emphasize
to the Soviet Ambassador
American sincerity in seeking
to find a way to begin dis
armament and ban nuclear
testing under effective safe
guards against evasion of any
treaty.
No Noticeable Progress
Secretary Rusk has been car

and Capitalization of power in

Gil was presented to the council
today.
Drafted by a private consult
ant on orders from the council,
the report contained 108 rec

ed, would:

MISUNDERSTANDING all phases
of planning-directly under the
council and the appointive
county manager. The Mary
land National Capital Park and
Planning Commission would be
abolished.
2. Create additional appoin-
tive bodies to take over some
routine work now done by the
council, and reduce the num-
Der of county departments.
3. Create the post Of elected
chief executive or mayor who
would be president Of the coun-
Gil, a member of the Washing
ton Suburban Sanitary Com
mission and a representative
on a myriad of regional boards
and commissions.
Many Laws Needed
To establish these recon-
mendations about 100 county
and State laws would have to
be passed and a series of State
wide constitutional amend
ments would have to be
adopted.
The release of a report con-
tanning so many controversial
suggestions is unusual in an
election year. Some of the Sug-
gestions call for the elimination
of elective in favor of appoin-
tive offices, tighter control over
the county'S cities, villages and
towns and partial unification
of many local fire departments,
