.6O-Cent Pay Formula
Compromise Nears
Senate Approval
By the Assocjuted Press

A compromise new industrial wage
base of go cents an hour moved close
to Senate approval today. but last
ditch fight was on to kill a presi-
dentially opposed amendment de-
signed to boost farm prices.
Many hours OF informal confer
ences during the past three days ap-
parently convinced hackers of the
original bill that they could not
drum up the votes for the new mini
NUNS they aimed ats cents i'm
mediately and rs cents within four
years. The present statutory wage
base is 40 cents an hour.
A sudden shift in the legisla tive
maneuvering late yesterday posed
the first decision on substituting the
compromise 60-cent rate.
Hatch Withdraws Proposal.
Senator Hatch, Democrat, of New
Mexico opened the way for that
amendment, offered by Senator
Ellender, Democrat, of Louisiana by
withdrawing his own proposal to
retain the present coverage of some
100000 workers instead of broad
ening it to take in $500 900 workers
IN industries affecting" interstate
commerce.
Senator Ellender said he would
offer another amendment later which
would have the effect of leaving the
coverage unchanged. He said he
had no doubt of its approval.
Senator Russell. Democrat, of
Georgia, author of the farm price
amendment which was adopted by a
43-to-3l roll call vote Friday, ex-
pressed his determination to see that
it is not removed by indirection.
There is going to be a clear-cut,
up or down vote on my amendment

Passengers Attack Driver,
Steal His Taxi and $50

A taxicab driver was attacked
early today by three colored passen-
gers who hit him on the head and
robbed him of $3.50 and his cab. .

Gallatin street NV. told police the
attack occurred in the first block of
R street SW. The fares" took
his money and yellow gold pocket
watch, tossed him out of the cab
and escaped eastward on Potomac

before final action is taken on this
BILL" he told a reporter.
Would Revise Parity Formula.
The amendment would revise the
farm parity price formula by in
cluding the cost of farm labor. Sta
bilization officials contend it would
raise Americas s food bill $4,000, 900, =
900 or more year.
President Truman, who previously
sent word to the Senate that he
would be compelled to veto the
whole bill if the farm price amend
ment were adopted, reiterated his
disapproval yesterday. The Presi-
dent told his news conference it
would upset the reconversion apple
cart.
Senator Russell refused to predict
the outcome except to say it would
be close. But Senator Ellender, one

promise, estimated the amendment
would be deleted by from three to
