Tying Minimum Wage
ITO Living Costs Wins
House Supporters
BY the Associated Press

A plan to tie the national mini
mum wage to living costs won some
support today in the House Labor
COMMITTEE.
d. Suggested to the committee by
Representative Hays, Democrat, OF
Arkansas, the plan would put the
minimum wage on an economic ele-
,vator and move it up and down
as the cost Of living shifted.
Mr.. Hayes testified against an
administration bill to raise the
minimum at once from 40 cents
an hour to 75. The measure also
would provide for moving 1t on up
TO 81 in some industries.
:. Representative Mcconnell, Re-
publican. Of Pennsylvania. ranking
minority member Of the commit
tee, welcomed Mr.. Hayes sugges-
ton. He has been advocating a
plan like it for several years.
Farm Workers Included.
Mr.. Mcconnell said several COM
mittee members have told him they
like the idea, too. And he plans
to offer 1t formally when the COM
nittee begins putting its wage-hour
recommendation in final form.
The new version of the bill before
the committee has been expanded
to take in some farm workers.
It would place workers on large
farms under the minimum wage
provisions of the law, but continue
their exemption from the 40-hour
week provisions. Farm labor Is now
exempt from the entire law, and the
bill first presented to the committee
by Chairman Lesinski would have
left this unchanged.
Urged by Union Witnesses.
Broadening the act to take in
some farm workers was urged Tues
day by CIO and AFL witnesses, and
it was indorsed yesterday by Rep
resentative, Republican, OF Wis
consin.
The new provision would apply
only to farms hiring more than 300
man days of labor during each
quarter Of the year. This would not
include the labor Of the farm owner
or his immediate family.
Mr.. Lesinski said the new section
would affect only large Industrial
lied farms" such as those operated
by food packing companies and re-
tail grocery chains.

Educator Charges Aid
Gives Europe Better
Schools Than u. ).

United States funds are paying
for school equipment and services
in some European countries that
are far superior to facilities In any
American schools, President George
D. Stoddard Of the University Of
Illinois, charged here today.
MIR. Stoddard made the assertion
at the opening session Of q two
day conference Of the National
Commission on Children and Youth
meeting In the Federal Security
Building.
Declaring that the European
school facilities ARE not known or
used IN many areas Of the United
States" Mr.. Stoddard said that I'VE
need to help our own children"
more, extensively.
Bills Are Criticized.
The educator criticized proposed
bills in Congress for Federal aid to
colleges for medical training as not
adding "a single doctor" to the
Nations total.
He suggested that if the country
wanted more physicians 1t should
draw up an action program similar
to the one for the airplane industry
during World War II. "You need
a task force TO decide what is want
ed, and then act" he told the group.
Miss Katharine r. Lenroot, chief
OF the Children's Bureau in the So
cial Security Administration, pointed
out that less than 2 per cent Of the
1850 Federal budget presented to
Congress by President Truman "rep-
resents promotion Of educa ton,
housing and community facilities"
About half Of Federal expenditures
projected In the budget are for
national defense expenditures and
obligations for past wars, she said.

Leaving the way open for q

Acheson emphasized that the West

purely provisional" In no sense
precluding agreement on Germany
as q whole. 1t always has been
clear, he added. that the Western
occupying powers would end their
countermeasures once the Soviet
blockade of Berlin is lifted.
He emphasized that the Western
powers would consider carefully
any proposal made to solve the
Berlin problem consistent with their
rights, their duties, their obliga-
tion$ as occupying powers"
Remarks Were Clear. Coherent.
Reporters were amazed at the
clarity and conference OF Mr.. Ache
sons statement, made without any
prepared text. At the beginning Of
his news conference he authorized
direct quotation Of his remarks. and
said he would try to speak slowly
enough for reporters to get them
down. Occasionally he would be
asked to repeat a sentence and he
would have to ask the Official Ste
nographer to read it back-his mind
had gone on to his next point. A
transcript was issued later with no
apparent editing.
Under questioning afterward, he
said his purpose was not to en-
gage in any argument, but to try it
make it understood that the policies
and actions Of the United States
are very clear and do not change
from day to day with the issuance
OF press statements by other gov
ernments."
Asked if his statement represent
ed the Presidents views, Mr.. Ache
son said he thought it proper that
the President should express his
own views, but that II can assure
you I do not think it is contrary
to any views of the President"
Mr.. Truman has an opportunity
to enter the picture today. He
scheduled a news conference at 4
pm. and was expected to indorse
what Mr.. AcheSon said yesterday.

Gen. Meyers in Bid
For Freedom Based on
ChristoffeI Ru|inq

Former Maj. Gen. Bennett E.
meyers, now serving a sentence
of from 20 months to five years
at Lorton (Va) Reformatory, is
making a new bid for freedom,
based on the recent Supreme
Court ruling in the Christoffel
case.
District Court Judge Alexander
Holtzoff agreed to hear a habeas
corpus petition at 10 am. Friday,
after a conference in his cham
bers yesterday with Defense
Counsel Robert T. Bushnell of
New York and Stanley Suydam
OF Washington, and Assistant
United States Attorney Ross
ODonoghue. Judge Holtzof pre-
sided at the 1948 trial in which
Meyers was convicted of persuad-
ing business associate to lie to
a Senate subcommittee.
Last July, and again in Sep
tember. Federal Judge Arthur v.
Bryan in Alexandria turned down
Meyers pleas for freedom.
Defense counsel challenge the
legality of the subcommittee, con-
tending a quorum was not present.
Judge Holtzoff, they maintain,
told the jury a quorum at the out
set of a hearing was sufficient to
establish legality throughout that
particular session.
This theory has been upset,
however, Attorneys Bushnell and
Suydam assert, by the Supreme
Court in the case of Harold r.
Christofel, Milwaukee labor lead
er. The Supreme Court threw out
the conviction because it ruled the
House Labor Committee did not
have a quorum present when he
denied his former Communist &C
tivities.
The Meyers case first came up|
before Judge Henry A. Schwein-
haut, who certified it to Judge
HOltZoff for action.
