SoLons Expect Tilt
 On Wages Measure
Bill Calls Jump From 40 to 65 Cents an Hour

Washington, Feb. 25-UP)-A slam-bang battle was shaping up in the Senate today over the Ad- ministration's bill to raise the na- tional minimum wage from 40 to 65 cents an hour.
 The measure, high on President Truman's must" list, comes up for debate soon bearing approval of the labor committee. Sen. Claude Pepper, ID. Fla), the floor spon- sor, admitted "very tough fight" was in prospect but was confident it would be approved with most major provisions intact.
 The opposition came from a coalition of Republicans and Southern Democrats. Sen. Robert A. Taft and other Labor Commit tee members who opposed the measure scheduled a session today to complete a substitute proposal.
 The committee bill provides an immediate raise in minimum wages from 40 to 65 cents hourly and two years hence would boost them up to 75 cents. The minority proposal, not yet completed, would provide a raise to 55 cents now. and may pro- vide a further advance in the fu- ture.
 Another feature of the bill, ex' pected to draw fire from some farm state Senators, would spread cover age to about 100000 farm worke'. not now covered.

 More Testimony

Washington, Feb. B. CUP)- Edwin W. Pauley stood firm today on his decision to fight to the last to win Senate Confirmation as Undersecretary of the Navy.
 Despite mounting opposition from Democrats as well as Republicans. a spokesman for the California oil man said he was eager to make an- other appearance before the Sem ate Naval Affairs Committee, pref erably after all opposition testi- mony has been presented.
 The committee resumes hearings on the controversial nomination to- morrow. First witness will be Presi- dent William A. Patterson of United Airlines. He will be asked whether Pauley, while Democratic Party treasurer, put pressure on him for contributions to the party's l944 campaign chest.
 There was no indication if or when the committee would recall former Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes, who resigned from the Cabinet because of differences with President Truman over Pauley's qualifications MT. Truman has re- peatedly stood by his nominee as an honest man.

.SpeIImon Challenges Atheists
 Cordinol Tukes
 Over Church;
 Audience Called
BY NORMAN MONTPELIER

Vatican City, Feb. 25-CUP)- Francis Cardinal Spellman of New York challenged today the attack CTS of religious freedom in many parts of the world" and declared it was the duty of the Church to stand against the wave of militant ath- eisin."
 The challange was issued as he took over the titular Church of SS. John and Paul in a colorful cere- mony. The speech was broadcast to the United States starting at 3 p. m. Cl0 a. m. EST.
 The ceremony took place one hour before an unprecedented collective papal audience called by Pope Plus XII for the Sacred College Of Card inals and the diplomatic corps. The audience, virtually a fifth Consis- tory, brought speculation that the Pope would make important pro- nouncement on world affairs.
 Speaking from a dais under a red and gold canopy at the right of the main altar, Cardinal Spell man accepted titular possession of the church whose history dates back to 362 and which once was the titular church of Pope Plus XII.

 Russell A. Nixon, former official of the American Military Govern ment in Germany, told a Senate subcommittee that this trend was evident in the fact that the United States, Britain and France had squeezed Russia out of the Allied fund for German assets in neutral countries.
 If Russia were allowed to join in, Nixon said, 1t would "lay bare the Fascist or reactionary regimes in countries such as Spain, Portugal, Switzerland. Sweden and Argentina and would reveal all the elements of collaboration of certain interests in the Allied countries with these regimes"

 Compton Urges
 Peace Keeping

Boston, Mass, Feb. 25-(UP)-If war comes again, the distraction and suffering will be far greater in much less time, President Karl I. Compton warned graduates of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology at the 80th commencement exercises in Symphony Hall today.
 resident Compton told the grad uateS that nations once could stand a thirty years war" or hundred years war" He added:
 We can't do that any longer; war has become too total and too terrible. This time half the world was wrecked and the rest sadly weakened in just few years If war comes again, we can be sure of one thing: The destruction and suf- fering will be far greater in much less time. The greatest problem of all, therefore,is how to preserve peace"
 pr. Compton advocated that more and cheaper reduction" should be set high above all other economic goals. and that the na- tions should "relegate to second place. disputes about distribution of wealth We are not now producing on an adequate scale" until this is achieved.

Shoe Union Will Reject 
 U. 5. Rubber
 Hardware Unit
 Increase Low

A new wage offer by the Shoe Hardware Company division of U. s. Rubber Company will be rejected at a management-union conference Wednesday, it was announced to- day by Ovide Garceau, information al representative for the CI.O. Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers Union.
 MT. Garceau said the company proposal called for an increase of 10 cents an hour. subject to ap- proval by the Wage Stabilization Board. The offer includes a hint" of possible further increases, he said, since it provides for reopen ing of the wage question.
 The offer still calls for two cents an hour less than was offered by the parent company" said MT. Garceau. Furthermore, we feel that We should have a wage in- crease comparable to that in the brass industry"
 A 30-day cooling of period fol- lowing a strike vote by Shoe Hard ware employees expired last week. Mfr. Garceau said that a special membership meeting may be called within the next week.
 The Risdon Manufacturing Com pany management and a union committee will hold another meet ing tomorrow night on their con- tract dispute. The wage question already has been settled.
 A management-un conference at the U. s. Time Corporation was to be held to day, with U. s. Con- ciliator William TruaX taking part.

 The Catholics last week won a plurality but not a majority of seats in the chamber. It is controlled by a coalition of Communists, Socialists and Lib erals.

 Arrangements attention was centered on a meeting to be held Wednesday at Washing ton between the OPA and the Brass Mill Products Advisory Committee. Industry's appli- cations for higher price ceilings win be considered at this session.
 Officials of the Waterbury Far rel Foundry & Machine Company, whose plants have been tied up by a strike since Jan. i4, were meet ing this afternoon to consider their next step. The company withdrew wage increase offer Saturday after it had been rejected by the Farrel unit of the C1.O. United Steelworkers. The offer called fof & wage boost of l8 Ia cents an hour. to be retroactive to the date of return to work. subject to oPA approval.
 See No Imminent Break
 The management union stasemate which keeps 17,OO0 persons idle, will not be broken before Thursday, at least. Authorization of higher brass prices by the OPA "Wednesday might break the present log-jam in negotiations, end lead to wage offers by the strike-bound American Brass Company, Chase Brass & Copper Company and Scovill Man ufact1ring Company. However, it is problematical if the increase that is allowed will be one satisfactory to management.
 Tickets went on duty at the three entrances to the Oakville Company plant at Q. m. The MMSW unit voted a strike after a company wage offer had been rejected.
 The ABC and Chase strikes, which began Feb. {, have seen no negotia- tions whatever, except for an abor- tive attempt by the State Board Of Mediation and Arbitration to bring the parties together.
 The Scovill Company last week proposed a return to work, with the wage question to be adjusted later, but the union turned this down, claiming that the proposal was not even worthy of 6 conference.

 Count of Action

Trial of the second count in the city,s S6O0,O suit and against DaR- ial J. Leary, fugitive ex-comptrol- Ter, was termed unlikely today by Attorneys W. w. Gager and Irving D. Johnson, who filed a brief in Superior Court on their motion to separate the two counts of the ac- ton and have a trial on the first count.
 The two special counselors for the city state that assets of Leary are not extensive enough to cover any possible judgment under the second count. ..-.- ...-.
 They state that if a judgment is obtained under the first count, mo trial of the issues under the second count Is likely unless in the mean time other assets of the defendant are located" They add that that is extremely improbable" since seven years of search by plaintiff and the federal income tax investigators have produced no further assets"

 Attorney Frederick J. Waterhouse, counsel for Leary, in his brief, also submitted today, argues for trial of both counts at once, stating he feels that the entire case should be dis posed of "in one bite"

Cairo, Feb. g - (UP) - A high ranking Senator said today that Premier Ismail Sidky Pasha has sent a note to the British govern ment blaming British troops for causing the fatal rioting in Cairo last Thursday.
 Sidky succeeded in getting stu- dent and labor leaders to call of a general strike scheduled for today, promising them that he would do his utmost to fulfill their demands for withdrawal of British troops from Egypt.
 The premier promised the youth leaders that political developments in the next few days probably would ease the present tension be- tween Britain and Egypt.
