13 (Special) An Alexandria attorney today threatened to file a suit to junk plans for a special election to pick a successor to Earl K. Long ts Rep. Harold McSween became the third person to announce plans to seek the post. J. Charles Burden said he would file suit on behalf of "several cit-h ns and taxpayers" if the Board of Liquidation of State Debt gives the Eighth District Democratic Executive Committee $95,000 to finance the referendum.

The committee has called the referendum for Oct. 1 on the condition that the state finance its cost. Burden said his suit would claim that the state legally spend money for what he called "an illegal election." Burden refused to name his clients, but said they "think the committee has a perfect right to call an election, but if so it should use its own money." The referendum results are to be used as a guide for the committee in selecting a successor to the late Congressman-elect Earl K. Long. THREE ENTER RACE The number of candidates grew to three as incumbent McSween tossed his hat into the ring.

The Massachusetts senator, Democratic candidate for president, was ending his two-day swing through Texas with the talk from a bunting-draped platform DEMO IlLASTS iN.VO The U.S. note declared the restriction was "in strict fulfillment of the obligations" which the U.S.

government has to insure the safety of U.N. delegates. It said its action will assure to Khrushchev "the unhindered fulfillment of his mission to the United Nations." Khrushchev's presence in New York, the U.S. note added. "Relates solely and directly to his mission to the U.N.

General Assembly." And it said the necessary security measures "including the requirement that Mr. Khrushchev reside in closest convenient proximity to the headquarters of the United Nations." The U.S. security measures "can in no way be considered to interfere with what is called the normal work of the Soviet delegation to the 15th session of the General Assembly," it said. "Travel beyond the limits of Manhattan Island is clearly not essential to the normal function of a delegation to a session of the U.N. General Assembly." The Soviet government, in its protest, had demanded that Khrushchev be allowed to move to and from Russian diplomatic headquarters in a big mansion at Glen Cove, Long Island.

Khrushchev, due to arrive in New York Monday aboard a ship also bearing other European Communist bloc leaders, had wanted to be allowed to use the Glen Cove estate rather than take up quarters in the city. Khrushchev is coming to New York as head of the Russian delegation. Plans are being made for him to stay at the quarters of the Soviet mission to the United Nations, which are on Manhattan Island a few blocks away from U.N. headquarters. The precautions, ordered Saturday, were described as vital to protect Khrushchev in the face of expected anti-Communist picKets and demonstrations when he arrives Monday as a self-invited guest.

These authorities dismissed Khrushchev's complaint, delivered (Continued on Po Two-A) STROLLER Satellite-Echo I will streak over Shreve-port today at the following times: 10:43 a.m., traveling northeast; 12:56 p.m., traveling northeast; 3:04 p.m., traveling northeast; 5:09 p.m., traveling southeast.

As with most recent Congo mancuvcrings, this apparently clarified nothing the anarchic situation.

But the action was hailed by Lumumba as legal and as a mandate to arrest any person causing trouble." Such trouble-makers in Lumumba's view presumably include President Joseph Kasavubu and his supporters who have formed a new government to supplant the Lumumba regime. "I did not ask for full powers." Lumumba declared. "It is the Parliament which has offered it be cause of the gravity of the situation." "Full powers do not mean that we will assassinate everybody tonight," said Anicet Kashamura, Lumumba's minister of information. Despite the fact the official vote count did not tally with the number of members present and newsmen's counts showed a quorum to be lacking, the vote represented, at least temporarily, another victory for Lumumba and his leftward slide into the Soviet bloc. OPPOSITION STAYS AWAY Most opposition members refused to show up for the session.

Helmeted Congolese army troops with rifles kept watch over the proceedings and machine guns were set up in the lobby. The vote followed a speech by Lumumba, who was fired as premier by President Kasavubu eight days ago but has refused to quit. Lumumba accused Kasavubu of fomenting an army uprising and credited himself with preventing a civil war he said was on the point of breaking out yesterday when he was arrested by Kasavubu supporters. "I was to be assassinated," Lumumba said. He said that when the army found out about his arrest, "it was ready to descend on the city and kill all the whites." "War was about to break out yesterday.

I stopped it." he shouted. Following the session Lumumba drove to the Leopoldville Radio.

The failure dealt the program a jolt only a few weeks before its operational deadline.

The nuclear submarine Patrick Henry launched the missile from beneath the gulfstream about 30 miles off Cape Canaveral. This is the same area from which the first Polaris sub, the George Washington, successfully fired three of four missiles in mid-summer. The failure was not visible to shore observers. But reports from a tracking ship said the 28-foot missile popped to the surface on a column of compressed air and immediately spiraled out of control. It plowed back into the water and broke apart, a large section flying several feet farther before again striking the ocean.

There was no report on whether the Polaris ignited before shooting off course. The first stage was to fire just after the missile cleared the water. The Navy said it is studying telemetry data to determine what went wrong. The launching was the first of a series of four test shots from the Patrick Henry. Officials are count ing on good results this series in the drive to have the Polaris operational some time next month.

One official said today's failure will not necessarily delay the pro gram. But he indicated more malfunctions in the Patrick Henry series could mean trouble. Tanker Explodes; 3 Persons Killed VENICE, Italy, Sept. 13 (UPD-The Italian tanker Roser Pellegrino exploded today in the port of Venice, killing three persons. Sixteen crewmen leaped into the water and were saved.

The victims include the captain, a crewman and his wife who leaped overboard but died in the flaming sea. The tanker was carrying 1,200 tons of refined oil, 550 tons of crude oil and 556 tons of other fuel when the explosion occurred. The first blast was followed by others which set the ship ablaze. VANDENBURG AIR FORCE BASE, Sept. 13 ftTD The United States hurled a Discoverer satellite into orbit today, hoping for a third straight success in tests to develop a capsule capable of returning anything from a monkey to secret spy pictures from orbit.

A 300-pound capsule carrying no life or cameras this time is due to bo returned to earth inside 15rt-by-50 mile recovery area near Hawaii tomorrow if everything works as welt on No. IS as it did on the past two launches. That gold plated capsule, however, is scheduled soon to carry a small rhesus monkey Into orbit, probably on shot No. 17. Despite the Soviet's success in recovering two dogs and other animals.

Air Force officials said they planned to "proceed as scheduled and not be rushed by what the Russians are doing." In addition to carrying animals, the capsule in the Discoverer program is also developing a way for intelligence agencies of this country to return high grade pictures from orbit. The capsule would not always be used to get pictures back since the Samos satellite would be equipped with gear to transmit photos back to earth such as used in the Tiros weather satellite. But if agenta wanted closer look at anything the satellite had seen, they could recall the capsule with its clearer pictures. The gloaming white Discoverer arched from the launch pad at this seaside base at 3:14 p.m. PDT 5:14 p.m.

CST) disappearing into cloud bank. Two hours later the Air Force announced the satellite was in orbit, whipping over the poles of the earth at 18,000 miles an hour. Its swing around the earth took 94.24 minutes and carried the 19-foot long satellite from 472 miles away from the earth to as close as 130 miles. This satellite joined two others still in orbit after returning their capsules to earth. The recovery attempt, by planes and ships waiting off Hawaii, will come tomorrow on the 17th pass over the earth and after a half million mile trip through space.

A capsule equipped to keep a small rhesus monkey alive on a round-trip into a 200-mile high or-bit has been undergoing ground testing for months. The Discoverer launched Aug. 19, proved a spectacular success as an Air Force CI 19 Flying Boxcar caught the capsule as it parachuted down from space off Hawaii. Discoverer XIII was recovered after landing in the ocean last Aug. 12.

Castro Will Head Cuban Delegation HAVANA, Sep.t 13 OJPD-Prime Minister Fidel Castro will head Cuba's delegation to the Sept. 20 General Assembly session of the United Nations in New York, it was announced today. The Foreign Office said the Castro delegation will include State Minister Raul Roa and Agricultural Reform Institute head Capt. Antonio Nunez Jinenez. The latter only recently returned from Moscow.

There was no immediate clue as to when Castro planned to depart but it was presumed he would time his arrival in New York with that of Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev.

Hemlines Succumbs in Washington 3Iissouri Solon Dies at 57 After Lingering Illness WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 (CPD -Thomas C. Hennings Jr. (D-Mo), a champion of the people's right to ki.ow what their government was doing, died at his Washington home today of abdominal cancer. Hennings, 57, underwent surgery at Mayo Brothers Clinic in Rochester, on May 4.

He had been admitted to George Washington Hospital in Washington several times following the surgery. As chairman of the Senate subcommittee on constitutional rights Hennings fought a continuing battle for freedom of government information. He was quick to pinpoint any government agency or official he thought was withholding information unnecessarily. Assistant Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, praised Hennings as "a great Senator, a champion of constitutional rights, a man who we all will miss regardless of party." Sen. Stuart Symington (D), Hennings' Missouri colleague, said Missouri and the nation "have lost a great senator and a great humanitarian who was generally recognized as the outstanding constitutional authority of his time.

Symington extended his sympathy to the family. Hennings' death left the Senate lineup at 65 Democrats and 34 Republicans. There was some question whether former President Truman, a former Senator, might be interested in the Missouri seat.

Nixon Takes Campaign to Northwest Promises Greater Emphasis on Hood Control Projects By DOUGLAS CORNELL BOISE, Idaho, Sept.

13 UPS-Vice President Richard M. Nixon barnstormed the Northwest today with a promise of greater emphasis on starting new multi-purpose reclama tion, power and flood control projects. This is talk of a kind Westerners like to hear. It constituted a rebuttal to the Democratic presidential nominee, Sen. John F.

Kennedy, who has charged that the Eisenhower administration has been standing still in the hydro-electric field. Nixon was departing, in a measure, from Eisenhower administration policy in saying "the time has come to put greater emphasis on new starts" for many-purpose projects. The administration long had a hold-down on these. Nixon's remarks were contained in speeches prepared for delivery in Portland, and later in Boise. The candidate flew to Boise in his four-ngine airplane which lost one engine a half hour out of Portland.

But there was no difficulty. He said the same thing had happened to him five times before. But he told pilot Perry Thomas that "it was a darn good job" he did. Nixon picked a new Portland shopping center to skim back over the last eight years and say: CITES WATER PROJECTS "At no time in our history have more new water projects been started. this Republican record is not, in anybody's language, 'standing And in terms of the worldwide challenge, our lead is tremendous: Soviet Union electric power production in 1959 was at a level we reached back in 1943 We will maintain our leadership by pushing current projects to rapid completion and by keeping up the pace of the last eight years."

State Drafts Keply to Aid Cut Queries BATON ROUGE, Sept. 13 W) -Louisiana welfare officials today drafted an explanation for Washington why some 22,500 children were dropped from public relief under a 19fi0 state law.

Davis, will meet Wednesday to complete the letter and approve it. It emphasized there is no racial discrimination, that the welfare department can't help the fact most of the children cut off were Negroes because the dependent children program mostly involves Negroes. While the federal bureau of public assistance in Washington voiced protests, the letter added, the federal protest implied a threat to halt federal aid. "This would mean," the letter cautioned, "that an additional 53, 000 children would be deprived of approximately 75 per cent of their present grants, as this department would not have sufficient funds to support the program without federal aid."
