SENATE WILL ACT UPON SELECTEES
Debate Starts Today As To Retaining Them, Others
 Over One Year

 Washington, July 30.-(UP)-The Senate begins debate today on the administration proposal to retain selectees. national guardsmen, and reserylsts in the army for the dura- ton of the emergency.
 Majority Leader Alben w. Bark lev, D., Ky, hoped to pass the reso- mtion before the weekend, althuogh llon-interventionists have promised vigorous opposition.
 The Senate was debating a reso- htion sponsored by Sen. Ebert D.. Thomas, D., Utah which provides a congressional declaration that the nation is "imperiled" This would give President Roosevelt the author ity to retain the selecSees and re- move the present 9O0000 limit upon the nlnnber of selectees who may be inducted in 8 year.
 Non n-interventionistts decided at a caucus that no attempt would be made to filibuster the proposal. They probably will support a substitute resolution offered by Sen. Robert A. Taft. R., O., which would, in effect, retain the men for 16 months. They now serve 12 months.
 House Committee Meets
 The house military affairs com mittee meets today and is expected to report a resolution similar to the Senate proposal. Republicans have agreed to oppose the measure vigor- ously.
 The minority has decided to sup port 8 measure which would per- nit retention of guardsmen and re- serves but would compel the release of selestees at the end of one year of training. The measure avoids all references to a state of national emergency and does not touch upon the controversial question of per- hitting selectees to serve outside of tfie western hemisphere, Gen. George c. Marshall, army chief of staff, has requested authority to as- sign troops to such service.
 Sen. Sheridan DoWney, D., Calf, introduced an amendment to the bill which would give selectees and euardsmen a bonus of $50 e month for service beyond one year. It also provides for 6 congressional com. mitfee to investigate means Of re- employing them when they are de- nnnhllzed.

 In the scope of the Minimum Wage
 Law. Filling stations, restaurants

 rom this survey because 1t was
 felt that, although classified as re-

 sufficiently different to warrant

 Begun nearly a year ago this sur
 vey will be used as a basis for de-
 termining the need for a minimum
 wage regulation in the retail trades. Similar cellars for wages and ceils ings for hours have already been established for beauty shops, laur1-
 dries and dying establishments.
 Under the law the Commissioner of Labor may impose minimum fair wage requirements in any intra- state industry where, after investi- gation, in his opinion wages are op- lpressive and unreasonable. A fair wage, according to the statute, is sone that is fairly and reasonably |cofninensurate with the value of the services and sufficient to meet the minimum cost of living r1eces- lsary for health" Connecticut was lthe first state to establish such a minimum standard for male workers Ia few months ago when male oper- |ators in beauty parlors were brought within the purview of the Commis- |sioner's regulations,

Investigators working under the direct supervision of Christine Beeck, head of the Minimum Wage Division, have for months been an- |alyzing the payrolls of hundreds of representative Connecticut retail stores in order to get a fair sampling of the prevailing wages paid and the number of hours worked.
 Because it would be herculean task to analyze every payroll in the state, retail establishments have been subdivided according to type of merchandise sold and the type of community served, and a propor- tionate number of each has been analysed, and the average rate of pay computed.
 MT. Danaher stated that he is now considering the makeup of a Wage Board but would defer his appointments until the final statisti- cal analysis is prepared, indicating the need or lack of need of min- imurn wage requirement. in the re- tail trades. According to the law three members of the board must be engaged as employers within the industry concerned, three must be employees within the industry and three are appointed to represent the nuhlaC.
 when the data covering wages and hours of men, women and minors is available for all types of retail trade, MT Danaher said public meetings will be held before this Minimum Wage Board and all in- terested persons permitted to offer evidence for or against the estab- lishment of a minimum wage.
 Following these meetings the board will then make its recom- mendation as to minimum wage for all retail stores in the state, afford inc A protection even broader than that now given workers in inter state industries by the Federal Wage Hour Law because the state Mini mum Wage Law may be applied to an entire industry or business even though employing only one or two uersonS,
