Leaders themselves said they were surprised that more than 400 new laws found their way through the record long I sion. Probably tile biggest in scope i of new social laws is one to ban racial discrimination in housing.

Lawmakers molded information from a months-long investigation of Ohio bursing and rest homes into a comprehensive law setting minimum health and safety standards was a direct result of the tragic Fitchville fire that killed more than 60 elderly nursing home patients Nov. 23, 1963. Another major social program streamlined welfare program and provided for uniform distribution of $247 million voted for that purpose in the 1965-67 biennium. More than 50,000 retired school teachers and school and public employees received pension boosts.

The lawmakers approved pay raises for almost everyone but themselves. (Their pay was hiked from $5,000 to $8,000 a year at a special session last year.) Boosts of 5 to 15 per cent were voted for an estimated 39,000 state employes. Judges and county officials were increased. Elected state officials got healthy hikes, from $25,000 to $40,000 in the case of the governor. The legislature's economic package included an ail time high $1.5 (b) billion two year budget, capital improvement bills totaling $463 million, highway and highway safety appropriations of $890 million, and $634 million for the school foundation program.

General Assembly was expected to finish its paralyzed 19th session today by ratifying an agreement to bury the U. S. Soviet dispute over voting rights.

21. Main point of the agreement WASHINGTON (AP) Emergency steel talks, under heavy presidential and congressional pressure, enter the third day today with union negotiators reportedly arguing that Wrhite House wage guidelines are too low. President Johnson, continuing to urge a noninflationary settlement, was joined by House and Senate Democratic leaders in warning that a strike would hurt the nation's economy and secu rity. A strike deadline scheduled at 12:01 a.m. today was postponed until 12:01 a.m.

Unverified reports that the IO major steel companies had offered to raise the ante for a settlement were denied by a high administration source. However, another reliable source said the industry had been ready to boost its offer slightly at the time the talks were moved here from Pittsburgh Monday. The union reportedly also was prepared to make concessions, dropping its demand to 48.9 cents. The union reportedly was citing new Commerce Department figures in arguing that White House wage guidelines of 3.2 per cent should be boasted to at least 3.4 per cent.

A White House source indicated the union would get nowhere with the argument. not at all that the source said in conceding that new government figures showed a higher gross national product in recent years than previously reported. The source said the guidelines might be revised upward next year, but not now. Johnson has strongly hinted he will stick to his insistence that the industry grant a settlement in the 3.2 per cent range without a steel price hike. WASHINGTON (AP) Beginning today, 2.5 million retired Americans are getting word from the government on two new medical programs available to them under the expanded Social Security System.

The information includes an application card for the voluntary program the medical plan which provides protection against most doctor bills. The first of the kits were sent out Tuesday night. No action is required for the hospitalization and nursing care program. Inclusion is automatic for anyone on the Social Securi ty rolls. Mailing will continue at the rate of 2.5 million a week until Dominican Factions OK Peace Accord SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic Organization of American States secured a full agreement today terminating the 4-month-old Dominican crisis.

The peace formula insured the installatoin of a provisional government Friday as a first step toward general elections in nine months. Rebel leaders cheered the peace plan. Heads of the armed forces, taking over after the rival civilian military junta stepped afride, pledged full support to the provisional government. The peace proposal was signed first by the insurgent regime behind rebel lines Tuesday night. Then Dominican armed forces leaders, meeting at the headquarters of the junta, signed a declaration of support for the peace plan and the pro visional government.

The government terminated nearly three months of peace efforts by the three-man OAS political committee of Ambassadors Ellsworth Bunker of the United States, Ramon de Clairmont Buenas of El Salvador and Ilmar Penna Marinho of Brazil. The formula calls for a 44- year-old lawyer diplomat, Hector Garcia-Godoy, to become president of the interim regime. His provisional government will negotiate withdrawal of the OAS peace force, composed of 9,000 U.S. and 2,000 Latin-American troops, still patrolling the battle-scarred capital. the government reaches the 15.5 million Americans now under Social Security or railroad retirement.

Today also is the first day those 65 or older who are not on the benefit rolls may qualify for the hospital plan and enroll in tile medical program at their local Social Security office. The two programs become effective July 1966. Another mass mailing to carry out provisions of the new Social Security amendments will begin Sept. 15 and take about a week. This will include checks totaling $885 million to cover the 7 per cent increase in Social Security cash benefits retroactive to Jan.

1965. The application card for the voluntary medical plan should be returned to the Social Security Administration in Hie postage-free envelope included in the kit. This option must be exercised by March 31, 1966, to qualify. Cost will be $3 a month. The payment may be deducted from the monthly Social Security benefit check beginning next July or paid in cash.

The government will match the payment. An estimated 90 per cent of Americans 65 and older will be mailed kits. More than half the remaining IO per cent receive old-age assistance and will hear from state agencies. The remaining 5 per cent will be informed of their rights through organizations in touch with older people and through other publicity. 2 Astronauts Still Reporting Spacemen Detail Historic Flight U.N.

Fellowship To Honor Adlai WASHINGTON (AP) The United Nations will honor Adlai E. memory with a fellowship program paid for by the United States. The program, proposed by President Johnson and approved by Secretary-General U. Thant, will divert $100,000 contributed to the institute for training and research for the fellowships. At the start the number is expected to increase 8 to IO at the United Nations.

(AP) The medically sound Gemini 5 astronauts today continue the tedious task of reliving their historic eight-day space flight for technical and medical experts. Hour after hour, L.

Gordon Cooper Jr. and Charles Conrad talk into tape recorders. The recordings and other notes are rushed daily to the Manned Spacecraft Center at Houston, Tex. There, specialists combine the information with telemetry data radioed during the flight. The specialists are preparing for more detailed talks about the performance of various spacecraft systems.

These will start Thursday when Cooper and Conrad return to Houston for brief reunions with their families and then seven more days of seclusion. In Washington, tile White House announced that military astronaut will receive a promotion of one grade as a direct result of his first successful space This means that Conrad, a Navy lieutenant commander, will be promoted to commander. Cooper was promoted to lieutenant colonel in tile Air Force after his earlier Mercury flight. Of special interest is tile equipment which caused trouble during the flight, which ended Sunday. Included are the fuel cell pressurization and water stowage systems, jet control thrusters, and an apparent ground error which misinformed the computer, causing Gemini 5 to land 103 miles short of its target.

Dr. Charles A. Berry, Gemini flight surgeon, said two days of exhaustive medical tests showed Cooper and Conrad were in excellent condition. Dr. Berry said the conditions of Cooper and Conrad give him confidence that the Gemini mission can be carried out rn December as planned.

That will lie a 14-day trip by astronauts Frank Borman and James A. Lovell Jr. The next flight, Gemini 6, will be a two-day rendezvous and docking mission with another satellite.

Ohio Assembly Fails To Solve Thorny Issue COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Final defeat of the legislative reapportioment proposal and an abortive effort described by some as an effort to save face on the issue featurde an HVi- hour delay-punctuated session which led to adjournment of the 106th General Assembly early today. The last of several plans for reapportioning the Ohio House in Line with the U. S. Supreme Court's man, one edict fell by the wayside in the House, just six votes short of the three-fifths majority needed for passage. The 76-55 vote made it a virtual certainty that the job will be left to the federal courts.

Later, in the move seen by many statehouse observers as a last ditch effort to save face, the House passed 77-36 a resolution calling upon Congress to call a constitutional convention to submit an amendment allow ing states to apportion one house of state legislatures by factors other than population. The resolution had been dormant in committee since May days after Ohio voters defeated a reapportionment proposal at the polls. It died today when the Senate declined to act on it. The second big obstacle to final adjournment, the $278 million capital improvements bill, was passed unanimously in the Senate. The bill had been held up the past two months by a dispute involving an unsuccessful effort by Sen.

This administration proposal, aimed at luring a $50 million brewery for the Columbus area, drew a sharp retort from Sen.

The Senate passed both of them but the House defeated 7640, thus killing a constitutional resolution calling for incumbent iniblic officials to receive the same pay as officials newly elected to the same office if there has been an interim salary increase. Both houses scheduled skeleton sessions for today for the purpose of signing bills acted on Tuesday night and for handling other routine matters.
