Foreign Aid Congress Toughest Nut To Crack WASHINGTON (AP) Foreign aid remains the toughest problem: for Congress to settle before adjournment. Senators and House members already were drifting away from Washington as leaders on both sides passed the word they determined to close down the first, session of the 87th Congress Satur-' day night. Senate-House conferees held their first sessions on the foreign bill Thursday and broke up aid, flat disagreement without even fixing a meeting time for today. But they were expected to get together by this afternoon. The Senate passed a 600,000 bill while the House voted $539 million less.

House conferees Thursday demurred strongly against accepting compromise figures close to the Senate version. The controversial bill to ease the a tax da careen, on DuPont Co. stockholders might receive General Motors stock in a divestiture proceeding comes up for Senate debate today. But chances for final action on it this session appeared slim. Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montana said he would put it over until January if prolonged controversy developed.

DuPont is under a Supreme Court order to get rid of the 63 million shares of G.M, stock it owns. The company has asked Congress to pass legislation which would reduce taxes sharply on DuPont stockholders if the G.M. shares are distributed to them. The House passed the bill Tuesday night and the Senate Finance Committee cleared it in a late session Wednesday night. Mansfield warned that he would have to put the DuPont bill aside for action on the remaining appropriations bills necessary to run the government in the current financial year.

One of these, a $3.6 billion public works measure carrying funds for flood control, rivers and harbors, and reclamation projects, was to be brought up today. The last money bill, a catch-all supplemental measure, was be voted on in the Senate appropriations committee today, and taken up on the floor Saturday. Both of these still will have to go to conference with the House. Congress Thursday completed action on President Kennedy's Peace Corps bill. The Senate sent to the President bill permitting professional sports leagues to negotiate contracts for telecasting of games by member teams.

The courts had thrown out such a contract for the National Football League. Also cleared by the Senate for the President was a $16.5 million subsidy bill for small lead and zinc producers. But foes of this later were able to arrange for a new vote today on whether final passage should be reconsidered. Senate-House conferees scheduled a further meeting today in an effort to work out final details of the disarmament agency asked by Kennedy. NEW MILITARY ARENA? Air Force Wants Top Space Role By VERN HAUGLAND Associated Press Aviation Writer PHILADELPHIA (AP) The Air Force said today that interplanetary space is a military medium-one in which the Air Force must have a dominating role.

Gen. B. A. Schriever, chief of the systems command, first space weapon-the tinental ballistic missile-inevitably will be followed "more quickly than some people by new weapons potentially more destructive. I "For this reason the aerospace force of tomorrow must be able to operate in space and to detect and threat in that arena," Schriever said.

Gen. William F. McKee, chief of the logistics command, dis- State Will Name Henter Fire Victim PINE CITY, Minn. (AP) -The state today or Monday will establish the identity of the man who perished in the fire which razed Levi Henter's rural home here last Jan. 18.

That was the promise of Henry H. Feikema, a chief aide assigned by Atty. Gen. Walter Mondale as special prosecutor in the trial of Henter for first degree murder. The state charges Henter killed the stranger with a shotgun, then fired the house in hopes the body would be accepted as Henter's.

In testimony Thursday, George Roche, state laboratory expert, post mortem examination indicated the fire victim had been highly intoxicated. Roche also ruled out the fire as cause of death, saying there was no evidence of carbon monoxide in the victim's organs, as there would have be been had he been able to inhale. David Barron, another crime bureau agent, said a discharged shell casing recovered from the fire ruins had been fired by the shotgun whose remains also were found there. He said the shell carried No. 6 shot, the size of the pellets an autopsy revealed in the victim's skull.

Another witness, Sheriff Arvil White of Bainbridge, told of the suspect's arrest there several days after the Minnesota fire. White said Henter, representing himself as a cattle man, had been courting Mrs. Arrie Newberry of Colquitt, Ga. The case was broken when Mrs. Newberry wrote to the Pine City mayor telling of Henter's presence in Georgia and seeking details of his Minnesota background.

White identified the letter, which was put into evidence. To accommodate overflow crowds attending the trial, Judge Carl W. Gustafson ordered a small anteroom off the court, seating about 25, opened up to spectators. The courtroom itself seats about 100 and attaches said many are turned away at each court session because no standing is allowed.

Representatives of the pal Church tentatively offered the hand of fellowship to a newly emerging, up church of in their distant Anglican Ceybrethren, Methodists and It is several united churches 'emerging in the Far East, blazing a trail of reunion among groups that still remain divided in the West. The Very Rev. John B.

Coburn, dean of the Episcopal Theological Seminary, Cambridge, Mass. said recognizing the Ceylon church was "the most significant step towa.d reunion since the reformation." He said it was in accord with Christ's prayer that all believers "may be one." The action came Thursday in the Episcopal general convention's House of Deputies. They voted overwhelmingly, after spirited debate, to extend tentative recognition to the newly forming church. The Rt. Rev.

Lakdasa De Mel, bishop of Kurunagala, Ceylon, thanked the delegates for acting to "bind our churches together." The United Ceylon Church will include about 100,000 Christians.

Edward Henry Ashdown, 29, of Costa Mesa, led police Thursday right to a bus depot and rented garage where officers found the four art works stolen Sept. 10 from the Be mansion of industrialist David Bright.

Police traced Ashdown through fingerprints found in Bright's home. Ashdown said he had no intention of selling the paintings. In the Hollywood bus depot police found Modigliani's "'The Chocolitier" rolled up in a suitcase stored in a luggage rack. Picasso's "'The Portrait of Sebastian" and "Looking Through The Window," and an Afro abstract were rolled together in a plastic garment bag and hung in the closet of a West Los Angeles garage Ashdown said he rented as a storage spot. Dr.

Judd: Dag Leaves Neutrals on the Spot WASHINGTON (AP) Rep. Walter Judd, says the small neutral nations have been put on the spot by the death of Dag Hammarskjold, secretary general of the United Nations. Judd also said that anybody approved by the Soviet Union to succeed Hammarskjold "Would have to be suspected by the free world." Any one of the five permanent members of the United NationsThe United States, Russia, Great Britain, France and Nationalist China has the veto power over the successor to Hammarskjold, who died in an air crash in central Africa. Judd, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said the situation created by the death of the secretary general has made untenable the position of the small neutral nations. "The only possible silver lining is if the people of the free world, and this includes the so called neutral nations, feel that they must be preserved," Judd said." Judd said it may be some time before an effective successor to Hammarskjold is elected.

"Dag Hammarskjold's death is a matchless break for the Com munists and sheer tragedy for the rest of the world," Judd said. Communists' first desire is to transfer the United Nations into an agency they can use against UAW Seeks Quick Local GM Pacts DETROIT (AP) The United Auto Workers Union today called in officers and shop committeemen from 24 local unions in an effort bring quick settlement of at -the-plant, strike-provoking differences and get the world's No. 1 automaker back into highgear production. Fuel was added to the fire which UAW international officers are building under reluctant local union leaders when GM and the International Union of Electrical Workers reached final agreement, local and national, on a new three year contract early today. The IUE-GM agreement killed off the one local-level strike at the six 1UE-represented factories.

It was at Packard Electric in Warren, Ohio. In all, the IUE represents some 25,000 GM production workers, about 4,500 of them employed in Warren. The UAW. which represents approximately 325,000 hourly-rated GM workers, has reached national agreement on both economic and noneconomic issues in a new three-year contract. Local unions in all but 24 of 123 factories represented by the UAW also have reached accord on new at-theplant working agreements, which supplement the national contract.

The space plans of the two major commands. were disclosed in papers prepared for delivery to the annual convention of the Air Force Association. A further clue to Air Force thinking about space was the Curtis E.

of staff, statement to reportere, by Gen. that "man will be in space, and I think there will be a military mission thre also." LeMay avoided a direct answer when asked if he was satisfied with the Air Force role, as compared with that of the civilian space agency, in space planning. He said he would not comment with regard to another agency. "We in the Air Force are doing everything we can to further the national space program," he said. Some civilian scientists have held out for "peaceful uses" of space and have strongly opposed any suggestion that weapons use that medium.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has as its primary mission the development of peaceful space programs. Schriever said earth satellites already have proved feasible for many military operations, such as weather prediction, communication and navigation. He said they also have shown definite potential for superior systems of detection, warning and inspection. "Satellite vehicles will play an essential role in the aerospace force of the future," Schriever said. "I am certain that in the future just as in the past, the Air Force will be called play an intepart in the national space.

Esther Heads To Sea, Misses U.S. Mainland By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Hurricane Esther, downgraded a tropical storm, headed on out to sea today. Her center never touched the American mainland. The Boston Weather Bureau Thursday night reported she was traveling northeasterly into the Atlantic with a center wind velocity of less than 70 miles per hour.

The Canadian maritime provinces, alerted for any big blow, were told to expect winds of only 40 m.p.h. and a fair amount of rainfall. Esther inflicted much less damage than expected, and no deaths directly attributable to the storm were reported. An alert along the entire Eastern Seaboard aided considerably. Most of the damage was caused by high winds which blew down trees and power lines, by high coastal tides, and by flooding due to heavy rainfall.

New England, remembering the devastating hurricane of 1938, girded for heavy damage. But Esther veered to sea when it apshe would make her first peared, landfall at Cape Cod. Among the Cape Codders evacuated were President Kennedy's two children, Caroline, 3, and John 9 months. They were taken from Hyannis Port, to Otis Air Force Base. Crosby Village Founder, Ore Explorer, Dies DULUTH, Minn.

(AP) George H. Crosby, early day Minnesota iron ore explore and founder of the village of Crosby in Crow Wing county, died Thursday at his Duluth home. He was 96. Crosby had been in ill health for several years. He was prominent in Duluth civic life for half a century and had been a member of many organizations.

The last of the pioneers who roamed northeastern Minnesota during early days in search of iron ore, Crosby discovered the Hawkins mine at the site of what is now the village of Nashwauk, the LaRue, east of the Hawkins, and the Crosby mine north of Nashwauk. In founding the village of Crosby, he was responsible for laying out of community streets, and construction of the water plant and several buildings. A native of Hastings, he lived there until he was 19 when the family moved to Minneapolis. He came to Duluth in 1887 and worked as painter and salesman before being lured to the range country in a search for iron ore. Income Factor Income Factor Madison--Dairymen of the U.S.

In the past years, Judd said, the Soviet Union has kept the United Nations semi paralyzed on major actions.

Because of the veto power, he said, it is not possible to elect a successor to Hammarskjold unless the Soviet Union agrees. "If Russia is determined to do so, it can spell the end of the United Nations as an effective instrument. This would leave it as a debating body, still important in forming world opinion, but with no power," Judd said. Judd said the death of secretary general is a blow to the little countries of the world "since they look to the U.N. to protect them." "The way it looks right he said, "is that the United Nations may become either a tool of the Soviet Union or a mere forum without power." Judd suggested that if an impasse develops in the United Nations the free nations "set up a club of their own" within the world organization, such as NATO the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, to deal with major matIters.
