Union leaders warned today that 650,000 unemployed workers face a cutoff of jobless benefits beginning April 1 unless Congress quickly repairs the job insurance laws. The AFL-CIO Executive Coun cil pointed out in a statement that after April 1 no new claims will under the temporary extended un employment compensation act, and on July 1 the program will terminate altogether. The council said that in April alone 150,000 workers jobless six months or longer most of heads of families whose jobs in many cases have been wiped out by machines will exhaust regu lar unemployment compensation benefits. Most states provide jobless benefits for 26 weeks and, under the extra benefit plan Congress has twice enacted during recessions, money was made available to extend such payments for up to 13 additional weeks. If a pending administration bill sponsored by Sen.

Eugene McCarthy, and Rep. Cecil King, is enacted, the AFL-CIO leaders said, an additional $160 million would be made available for extra benefits to the long-term unemployed. The administration bill would make such longer benefit duration permanent in times of economic recession.

Soviet Premier Khrushchev today the hope of a summit conference on disarmament before June 1. He rejected again, however.

Khrushchev's proposal for a meeting of heads of government at the beginning of the 18-nation Ge neva conference on disarmament. The President repeated, in a message to Khrushchev, the Western plan for opening that conference at the foreign ministers' level. He reiterated his position that a summit conference should be preceded by "the largest possible measure of agreement" at a lower diplomatic level. The text of the message was delivered in Moscow early this morning and published today by the White House. It was firm but moderate in tone, despite the sharp language Khrushchev had used in offering for a second time the suggestion that heads of government attend the 18-nation disarmament conference opening on March 14.

Kennedy first rejected that idea on Feb. 14. He rejected it again today but this time his note seemed to hold out greater promise of a summit conference at a later date. "I think it is of the utmost importance that the heads of government of the major nuclear powers assume a personal responsibility for directing their countries' participation in and following the course of the Geneva negotiations," Kennedy wrote. With Authority "I can assure you that the secretary of state would present my views with complete authority," he continued.

"Even so, I hope developments in the conference and internationally would make it useful to arrange for the personal participation of the heads of government before June 1." He specifically rejected, however, Khrushchev's proposal that heads of government should meet at the outset of the Geneva conference, and he summed up this way: "The heads of government should meet to resolve explicit points of disagreement which might remain after the issues have been carefully explored and the largest possible measure of agreement has been worked out at the diplomatic leveL" Kennedy dismissed Khrush chev's contention that a Western resumption of nuclear tests in the atmosphere would be an act of aggression. Instead, he said, such tests "would be a matter of prudent policy in the absence of the effectively controlled nuclear test agreement that we have so earn estly sought." That seemed to be a virtual notification to the Soviets that atmospheric tests would be conduct ed if a controlled agreement was not negotiated. West Weighs Plan to Ban Nuclear Weapons Transfer Washington, Feb. 25 (AP) The United States and Allied governments are considering proposing an East-West pact to ban the transfer of nuclear weapons by any of the present nuclear powers to any other county. The proposition is one of sev eral under study by the Western powers in preparation for the 18-nation disarmament conference opening March 14 at Geneva.

The basic strategy of the United States in Western policymaking talks is to try to find some disarmament measures which would involve minimum national defense consideration and might be quick- uy agreed upon in the Geneva conference. Such agreement could in turn pave the way for a summit 'conference such as that advocated by President Kennedy in his latest note to Soviet Premier The nation's capital is ready to acclaim Lt. Col.
