A few tricky clues this week but I've finished it, however, could somebody help me grasp the wordplay on this one.

6a) Free to tell one about Dag Hammarskjold (5)

I have U - G - G.

I'm sure it's 'ungag'
Is it a double Def?
1st Def = free to tell (with 'free' being a verb) - to ungag someone.

2nd Def = one about Dag Hammarskjold

Is this meaning that the 'one' is a joke (gag) about the United Nations because he was the UN Secretry General?

ungag

I think your parsing agrees with others, but cannot find the thread
