DC. Aid Plan
Hit by RibicOff
Budget Debated
Byrd Not There
By GRACE BASSETT
Star Staff Writer

The Senate recessed for an
hour this afternoon to look for
Senator Robert C. Byrd, who
was due to manage a floor de-
bate on the District budget.
The West Virginia Democrat
was entertaining Gov. William
Barron of his home State
somewhere in the city. Aides
explained that District Appro-
priations Subcommittee Chair
man Byrd had not expected the
local money bill to be called so
soon.
Senator Ribicoff, Democrat
Of Connecticut, was on the
floor at 1880 pm. when the
Senate went out. and again at
1880, when it came in, to chal-
lenge Senator Byrd's opposition
to welfare for children Of the
unemployed.
A two-pronged amendment
proposed by Senator Ribicoff
would extend relief to children
whose fathers are employable,
but jObless. at home, and whose
mothers, though trained for
work, are unable to find jobs.
Calls II Distressing
The Senate Appropriations
Committee voted 1877 with
Senator Byrd to deny aid for
families with an unemployable
male in the household. Relief
was extended in the commit
tees budget, however, from one
to three months for children of
mothers seeking work after job
training.
Senator Ribicoff said the
prejudice against the jobless
was distressing. 1t puts pres
sure on decent husbands and
fathers to desert their wives
and children, according to Sen
ator Ribicoff, former Health,
Education and Welfare Secre-
tary.
He knows that as long as he
remains with his family, they
are denied assistance" the
Connecticut Senator said. IF
he leaves, they will get help.
No one should impose that cruel
choice upon a human being"
Committed to Policy
Senator Byrd's counter the
DRY is that a joblesS man will
be tempted to live off the dole
given his family, rather than
seek employment, if the adj
ministration's unemployed par
ent program is adopted here.
But employment rates are too
low in Washington to justify
the experiment, the West Vir-
ginian claimed.
The Kennedy administration
is committed strongly to offer
ing all localities Federal help
for welfare for unemployed
parents. But President Ken
nedy privately has respected
Senator Byrd's reluctance to
offer relief to jobleSs mems
families in the light of other
significant additions to the
Senate welfare budget.
Senator Byrd was praised by
Senator Ribicoff for a com
mendable job" in writing in
money for more case workers,
higher foster care payments,
and expanded day care services
into the District budget.
These are three of the four
most urgent welfare needs in
the District" Senator Ribicoff

As Generals Back

BEIRUT, Lebanon, NOV. 10
AP).-President Abdel Salam
Aref and a team of generals
seized power in Iraq today from
the cabinet of Ba'ath Socialists
and fighting broke out in
Baghdad. the capital.
Mr.. Aref indicated in a proc
lamation that he hoped to re-
vive an agreement to m erg e
Iraq with Syria and President
Canal Abdel Nasser's United
Arab Republic. He said he
would cooperate closely with
all Arab n a tions, especially
with the United Arab Repub-
lie"
The Ba'athist party clique
forming the cabinet is opposed
to union with the UAR.
There was no word Of the
fate of the cabinet, headed by
Premier Ahmed Hassan FL
Bakr. Only yesterday Baghdad
radio announced that Mr..
Bakr had taken over the
defense and interior (police)
ministries temporarily in a ca
binet reshuffle.
Curfew Proclaimed
There had been reports then
that Mr.. Aref would be exiled.
He had been provisional pres
ident since the military ousted
Premier Abdel Karin Kassem's
dictatorship last February.
A curfew throughout the
country was proclaimed by
Baghdad Radio. A series of pro-
lamations followed announcing
that Mr.. Aref had taken ovel
complete control Of the country
and its armed forces and has
assumed full powers as head OF
a new revolutionary council.
The fighting appeared to be
between the Iraqi armed forces
and units Of the National guard,
which is loyal to exiled Deputy
Premier Ala Saleh ell Saadi.
He leads an extremist Ba 'athist
action involved last week in a
party struggle for power.
Natinal Guard Dissolved
In one of his first acts, Mr..
Aref ordered dissolution of the
National Guard.
I'VE have endured all we
could to avoid bloodshed," Mr..
Aref said in a statement. But
the National Guard kept up
it's terror. The army has an

to rid them of this terror"
Baghdad broadcast insisted
that the army action was di-
rected only at the N a tiona l
Guard, not at any party or fac

Beirut as an effort to restrain
the Baghad masses. where the
Influence of Mr.. Saadi is
