G| Insurance
Easing Backed
By the Associated Press

Two Kennedy administration
officials have withdrawn ear
lier opposition to reopening the
low cost CT insurance program
to an estimated Is million
World War II and Korean
War veterans.
The statements yesterday by
Veterans Administrator James
S. Gleason, jr., and Budget Di-
rector David E. Bell were made
at a Senate Finance Commit
tee hearing conducted by Sem
ator Long, Democrat of Louisi-
ana, author of a bill to re-
open the insurance program.
Similar proposals have been
passed by the Senate five times
in recent years, only to be re-
buffed by the House. The Ken
nedy administration opposed
the measure when it came up
last summer.
Mr.. Gleason told the COM
mittee he believes the 1851 Or
der under which veterans who
served between October 8, 1910,
and April "a, 1851, could no
longer buy the low cost Ma
tional Service Life Insurance
had caused hardship or I'M
wise decision in many cases.
Mr.. Bell wrote the commit
tee that while he still sees mo
compelling need or Govern
ment obligation to reopen those
long-closed insurance pro-
. grams" he would not object
to a limited reopening.
Many veterans who served in
that period declined to take
the insurance into civilian life
Others bought it, but let il
lapse. The Veterans Admins
tration has estimated some le
million veterans are eligible
for the insurance in amounts
up to $4,000 each.
Senator Long said he hopes
for early committee action or
his bill but that he would con-
fere with House leaders. In the
past, opposition to the propose,
has been led by Representative
league, Democrat of Texas
chairman of the House Veter-
ans Committee.

Mr.. Ben Khedda went before

it has divided Palestine, China

He said the Algerian army

Brazil Finally Ends Crisis,
Names Prime Minister

BRASILIA, Brazil, July 10
(AP).-The two-week-old Bra
lillian government crisis ended
today with Parliament's ap-
proval of Francisco Brochado
da Rocha as Prime Minister.
The 215-58 vote broke the
stalemate between the con-
sentative dominated Parlia-
ment and leftiSt President
Joao Goulart. But it left I'M
solved the nations deepening
economic crisis marked in re-
cent days by food riots that
left IL persons dead.
Mr.. Rocha, 81, a provincial
official and q professor Of con-
stitutional law, was Mr.. Gou-
lart's third nomination to fill
the post vacated June 26 by
Tancredo Neves, who resigned
to be eligible to run in con-
greSSional elections in the fall.
Although a conservative, Mr..
Rocha's approval was not as
sured until last night. Some
conservative Deputies had ex-
pressed doubts about him be-
cause of his close association
with left-leaning Gov. Leonel
Brizola of Rio Grande do Sui,
who appropriated the Ameri-
can-owned telephone company
in his state.
Mr.. Rocha'S confirmation
was in doubt until he spoke
to parliament last night and
apparently placated the depu-
ties on the issue that kept the
crisis going-the future of the
parliamentary system in Brazil.
Left Up to Congress
The parliamentary system
was imposed last year after
President Janio QuadroS quit
and conservative military lead
ers demanded that Mr.. Goul-
art, the vice president, be
blocked from assuming the
office with its strong powers.
Since then. Mr.. Goulart has
been trying to get the parlia-
mentary system thrown cut
and the previous presidential
powers restored. He had been
pressing for an immediate
plebiscite on the issue. The
dominant conservatives OPP
posed this. Mr.. Rocha settled
it by declaring in a speech last
night that it should be strictly
up to congress to decide when
the plebiscite should be held.
Parliament rejected Mr..
Goulart's first choice, Foreign
Minister Francisco San Tiago
DantaS, who was believed by
many deputies to favor Fidel
CaStro's Cuba.
Second Choice Quits
Mr.. Goulart's second choice.
Senate president Auro de Moua
Andrade, a conservative, quit
after SO hours in office in a
dispute with Mr.. Goulart about
the makeup of the cabinet.
Mr.. Goulart then turned to
Mr.. Rocha, a Porto Allegro Uni
versity professor.
The crisis has been marked
by food riots and a general
strike by labor unions demand

choice. The rioting stemmed
from artificial food shortages
created by merchants hoping
to get higher prices.

EIect!Jns' Race
Seen Caused
By High Test
BY the Associated Press

~ sAe AosSSAebCA EACSo
A raceway of speeding elec-
irons probably surrounds the
earth today some 200 miles in
the sky, flung up by yesterdays
thermometer blast over the
Pacific.
This thin shell of whizzing
high-intensity electrons - a
kind of artificial Van Allen
radiation belt generated by the
blast-waS expected to die out
in about a week.
And Government scientists
said it could not harm anyone
Government scientists pre-
dicted in advance of the shot
that such a shell of electrons
would be produced. But it will
take two weeks or so to make
sure, through analysis of data
collected by United States satel-
lites DRIFTING through space.
How was the electron shell
produced? The electrons pro-
duced by the blast would be
caught by lines of magnetic
force which surround the earth
They would spiral around these
magnetic lines while whizzlng
back and forth along the lines
over distances of thousands OF
miles. At the same time, some
of the electronS would spread
out in east-west directions
around the earth.
No Word on FallOut
Most of the electronS soon
would be absorbed by the at
mosphere.
There was no official word
on how much fallout yester-
days blast would produce.
But Government scientists
estimated that regardless of
the amount it will not start
falling on earth for at least a
year.
Because the blast was fired
so high, they said, there will be
no early fallout. Early fallout re.
suits from a relatively low level
explosion when the debris is
deposited at an altitude of u.s.
900 to $4,000 feet. 1t begins to
fall soon after the blast, halt
of it sitting down within 80
days.
When debris is deposited ir
the stratosphere-which ranges
up to about 150,UU0 feet-the
fallout takes from less than a
year to about 10 years to come
down.
But yesterdays blast was set
off even higher-at an altitude
OF more than 200 miles.
Passes into Shakespeare
Thus, said the scientists, be.
fore any fallout reaches earth
it must pass into the strato.
sphere.
What effect the explosion
had on the Van Allen radia-
ton belt will not be known fol
at least two weeks, said ar
Atomic Energy Commission
spokesman.
The Van Allen belt, consid
cred a potential hazard tt
space travel, consists of cleo,
trified neutrality-suspicious. anC
Electrons-ejected by the sun
Some scientists objected t
the high-altitude test, fearing
that it might disrupt the bel
and interfere with Astronomical
calculations and observations.

! to be minor and temporary.

HONOLUGU, July III tAF) /.
The United States probably
will set off two more high
altitude nuclear explosions at
Johnston Island - but they
won't pack the punch of Sun
day nights hydrogen super
blast.
There's a good possibility
there will be two more oetona-
tons at the Johnston site be-
fore the nuclear test program

mission official said. 1T all de-
ponds on what scientists learn
from the first successful ex-

of the last shots in the Christ
mas region was being prepared
for firing.
"a Touched Off
Twenty-four nuclear devices
have been detonated at Christ
mas since the test program
started April IS. Most of these
blasts were at low attitudes.
The original schedule in
cluded one shot of the megaton
range-that was Sundays fir

l million tons of TINT. One
was to be at an altitude of
hundreds of kilometers," pos
sibly higher than the big blast

The megaton success pro-
duced a spectacular show as
the thermonuclear flash spread
across the ocean and lit skies
from Auckland, New Zealand,
to Hawaii. Eerie greens, pale
pinks and bright oranges and
reds blended like a watercolor
sunset for more than five min
uteS.
200 Miles Up
The device, carried aloft by
a Thor missile, was exploded at
a height of slightly more than
200 miles. 1t had a force of
more than one million tons of
TINT. Unconfirmed reports
placed the power at close to
10 million tons.
Auckland, 3,843 miles south
west of Johnston, was treated
to a brilliant fireworks display
that turned the ocean blood
red.
Heavy clouds over Honolulu
obscured the fireball-it was
visible only as a pinpoint on
time-exposure film, but resi-
dents and tourists watched in
awe as the sky grew bright with
color.
