Tobin Limits Praise
F@ 75c Wage Bill
Drafted by Conterees
BY the Associated Press

Legislation lifting national min
imum pay scales by IS cents an
hour was groomed today for final
congressional action with the
qualified blessing of Secretary O,
Labor Tobin.
A. compromise bill worked out
yesterday by Senate and House
conferees was described by Secre-
tary Tobin as a notable advance
IN some respects, but "disappoint-
ing" in others.
The House and Senate must
approve the bill-which raises the
floor under wages received by
workers in interstate commerce
from the present 40 cents an hour
to rs cents-before it is sent to
President Truman. The House is
not due to act on the measure
until Tuesday.
The compromise removes wage
hour coverage from several hun
dred thousand workers-just how
many Is uncertain. Senator FL
bert Thomas. Democrat, of Utah
said court Interpretation of the
bills language would be needed
toidetermine the number.
Would Aid Over Million.
Senator Pepper. Democrat, of
Florida estimated that 1,000. 900 to
100000 low-paid workers would
share some $500, oo0, 900 a year In
pay increases.
About 22.6oo.0oo workers are
covered by present wage-hour law,
which blankets occupations re-
garded as necessary to" the pro-
duction of items moving in inter-
state commerce.
The House bill would have re-
stricted coverage to occupations
indispensable to" such produc-
ton. 1t was estimated this would
take more than 100000 workers
out from under the law.
The Senate by other changes
would have excluded about 200,-
600 workers.
In the conference the House
language was changed. substitute
Ing the phrase directly essential
to" for indispensable to-"
Because Of this wording Senator
Thomas said it might be years
before the courts could rule on
who is covered.
How 1t Affects Newspapers.
The bill, which would take ef-
feet 80 days after its enactment,
continued two provisions affecting
newspapers:
ID Employees of newspapers Gin
GLIDING dailies) which have q cir
culation of 1000 or less are
exempted, and CD newspaper de-
livery boys are excluded from
wage, hour and child labor pro-
visions Of the law.
Mr.. Tobin predicted that the
bill would help stabilize the Ma
tion's economy. He declared him
self highly pleased" with the
compromise measure in spite Of
what he termed concessions to
special interests"
The lifting Of the wage floor
and. the frightened child labor
provisions IN the measure he said,
"embody notable advances over
the 1948 law"

|Conferees Consider
Major Concession 10
House on Farm Bill
BY the Assoeiotsd Prs.s

Senate conferees were reported
today considering a major conces-
sion to the House toward a farm
bill compromise. with Majority
Leader Lucas apparently holding
the balance.
AS the Senate and House con-
ferees scheduled a third effort tt
hammer out an agreement, men,
bers disclosed that a single vote
yesterday had prevented accept
ance Of a three-year extension OF
present high Government price
supports for six basic crops.
Although the Senate had beaten
back a somewhat similar plan
after stiff fight, three Senate
conferees were said to have voted
for it in the committee with four
including Senator Lucas-op-
posed.
The Illinois Senator was quoted
as mentioning a two-year extern
sion as a substitute, with corn
eliminated from the list of affect
ed crops. Then, members said,
he asked time to think the whole
matter over.
House Concession Seen.
Senator Lucas was a leader in
the successful Senate battle to
write a farm law providing for
eventual flexible supports for five
basic crops. pegged to available
supplies.
Presumably. acceptance of the
House proposal by Senate con-
ferees would be the signal for
House concessions on at least part
OF a long list Of other crops, in
Guiding dairy products, eggs,
chicken. Irish potatoes and
numerous others.
The basic crops are cotton,
wheat, corn, rice, peanuts and
tobacco. Both House and Senate
bills call for continued high sup
ports Tor tobacco.
In addition to Senator Lucas
the compromise plan was opposed
by Senators Anderson, Democrat,
OF New Mexico-sponsor of the
Senate flexible price bill and for
mer Secretary of Agriculture
Aiken. Republican. of Vermont
and Thye, Republican, of Min
neSota.
Bumper Corn Crop Cited.
Senator Anderson has agreed to
supports at 80 per cent of parity
on basic crops for next year If
farmers face controls. but after
that he wants a sliding scale of
supports from rs to 80 per cent.
Conferees said corn might not
be included in the proposed COM
promise extension because of two
recent bumper crops and the fact
that most Of 1t is fed to livestock
by the grower.
Senator Aiken said he Is vio-
lently opposed to even a two-year
Of fixed-percentage sup
ports for basic crops.
After two years of these rigid,
nigh-level supports farmers would
be IN a STRAIGHTFORWARD it might
take generations to get out Of, or
the farm program might be en-
tirely wrecked" he said.
Senator Aiken Is author of q
flexible price-support act passed
BY the Republican controlled Con-
gress last year in a session-end
compromise. It was not to be ef-
fective until next January /.

Veteran Of the Bulge Dies
During Fight TO Clear Name
BY the Associo,ed Press

DAVENPORT. Iowa, April g.
A veteran of the Battle OF the
Bulge" died today while papers
designed to clear his record OF a
dishonorable discharge were en
route TO Washington.
/ The parents of Donald Walker
launched efforts to clear then
sons name as he lay dying in a
tuberculosis sanatorium.
Mr.. and Mrs. Irwin Walker
Davenport. who had hoped TO
clear Walkers record before his
death, said their efforts would
continue.
They contend the discharge was
undeserved because Walker was
suffering from a mental ailment
growing out of battle fatigue and
wounds.
Walker was charged with being
absent without leave after he had
been returned to this country for
disqualification. He was court
martialed and sentenced to serve
a year in prison. After his re-
lease, he was given the dishonor-
able discharge.
Data from the Veterans Admin
istration Office in Des Moines to
complete his record was en- route
today to Washington where a
special clemency board will re-
view his case.
