dozens of worthless checks total
ing more than $500 throughout

They are Paul j. Donovan, 81

Amendment Applies
Minimum Pay TO D. {.

The proposed 75-cent-an-hour
minimum wage would be applied
specifically to covered" fields OF
employment in the District, under
amendments to pending legisla-
ton proposed by Senators Hum
phrey, Democrat, of Minnesota,
and Kefauver, Democrat, OF Ten
nessee.
These suggested additions to
the wage-f1oor measure are ex-
pected to be called up for a deci-
sion before the Senate reaches
a scheduled final vote tonight on
the legislation.
Both Senators Humphrey and
Kefauver said they did not know
how many additional workers
would be covered here by their
amendments. Both thought the
number whose actual wages would
be increased by the 75-cent min
imum would be very small.
One estimate given an aide to
Senator Humphrey was that the
amendment would apply to pos
sibly 10000 additional workers
here, but that probably many OF
these already are being paid at
least IS cents an hour.
The Districts own minimum
wage law, Senators were told,
now applies only to women. Some
other groups, including male
workers in interstate commerce
are covered by the present Fed
eral law

Truman Appeals 10 India,
Pakistan TO Accept Truce
b. the Associated Press

President Truman has appealed
directly to India and Pakistan to
accept proposals of a United Ma
tions commission for truce in
their quarrel over Kashmir.
Secretary Of State Acheson dis
closed today the plea was sub
mitted yesterday to the Indian
and Pakistan Ambassadors. The
United States, Mr.. Acheson told
his news conference. has great
interest in the peace and stability
of the Indian subcontinent.
The dispute is over whether the
princely state of Kashmir shall
join Moslem Pakistan or Hindu
India. The population is largely
Moslem but the ruler is Hindu.
Mr.. Acheson said it would be a
mistake to look on the Presidents
action as the first step in a new
American policy toward the Far
East, aimed at containing Com
munism. The United States, he
said, has been deeply interested
in reaching a settlement since the
Kashmir dispute arose two years
ago.
