Social Security bill hops Senate hurdles WASHINGTON (UPI) -- A bill to raise Social Security taxes for 100 million workers and increase them even more for employers got by two big hurdles in the Senate yesterday. By a 54-36 vote, the Senate killed a proposal by Sen. Henry Bellmon, R- Okla., to send the bill back to the Senate Finance Committee for further study' until February. Later, the threat of a filibuster was removed. Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan., and several others had threatened to "talk at length" unless they were allowed to bring up for debate an amendment they are sup pbrting. The amendment, caught up in a dispute over compliance with Congress' budget process, would allow persons over 65, beginning in 1982, to earn UN approves anti-hijack action UNITED NATIONS (UPI) The U.N. General Assembly yesterday unanimously approved,an appeal to all nations of the world to unite and end the threat of air hijackings, although some nations said the action was weak and ineffective.

They now begin to lose benefits after earning $3,000. But the Senate agreed by voice vote to allow this and several other amend ments to come up for debate and a vote today; and Dole said that made the filibuster unnecessary. Earlier in the day, the Senate voted in favor of raising Social Security taxes more steeply for employers than em ployees. It rejected 49-41 a substitute by Sen. Carl Curtis, R-Neb., which would tax them equally as would a House passed bill. But that matter was not finally settled, because Curtis said he probably would press today for another substitute, which also would tax employers and employees equally but through a different formula. said it was .disappointing.

House conferees said they would seek a new vote in the House for rescinding funds originally marked for production of the cancelled B-1.
