ECA Group Raises
Allotment 10 Britain
By The Associated Press

PARIS, Aug. 3O.-Top officials
of the Organization for European
Economic Cooperation have
worked out a new plan for divi-
sion of Marshall Plan funds which
would give Britain $3.50, ,000,0 900 in
1949-50.
This figure is $1t8, 100000 more
than the British were allotted
under the last OEEC proposal,
but is $55S, 100000 less than the
British requested when estimates
of required aid were submitted.
Although the American Congress
has not decided on the exact
amount of Marshall Plan aid fol
the coming year, the experts are
figuring on a total appropriation
of about $3,670,000,000.
The new plan was worked Oh,
after all 19 member areas except
Trieste let it be known they were
not satisfied with the last pro.
posed division.
The Council of the OEEC will
meet tomorrow to discuss the new
proposals. There was no off1cia
comment on the new plan. Tht
British, however, were reported
pleased with the increase.

Pepper Fights TO Pass
75.Cent Minimum Pay
Measure by Tonight
BY the Associated Press

Senator Pepper. Democrat. OF
Florida, shepherding a 75-cent
minimum wage bill through the
Senate. today expressed hope of
its passage by night.
Senator Pepper, chairman of a
Labor Subcommittee which pre-
pared the bill. told a reporter as
debate went into it's second day:
II think we may pass it tonight
If we stay in session long enough. u
A bill fixing a 75-cent minimum
wage-instead Of the present 40
cents an hour-has been passed
by the House. but it would apply
the minimum to fewer workers.
If the Senate passes the pending
bill, conferees will have to recon-
cile differences between the two
versions.
Several Changes Made.
Senator Pepper told the Senate
yesterday that, in order to get
the 75-cent minimum approved,
the Senate Labor Committee aban-
doned efforts at this session to
make 1t apply to more workers.
However. in addition to raising
the minimum, the bill before the
Senate would amend the existing
law to:
l. Prevent the employment of
children under Is in hazardous
mining or manufacturing occu-
pations.
2. Authorize the Hour
Administrator to act in behalf of
employees by suing to recover
wages due for overtime or under
payment.
8. Exempt small contract-ofices
of the Western Union Telegraph
Co. from wage-hour provisions.
NewsbOy Amendment Backed.
Senator Pepper said Senator
Taft, Republican, of Ohio, had
Labor Committee backing for an
amendment to exempt specifically
from the law newsboys making
home deliveries.
He said the committee also
favored another plan, by Senators
Edwin c. johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado, and Millikin, Repub-
lican. of Colorado, to exempt
workers on nonprofit irrigation
systems by CHASING them as agri-
cultural workers.
Senator Ellender, Democrat, of
Louisiana proposed an amend
ment to fix the minimum wage
rate at IS cents an hour until De-
cember 81, 1850. After that it
would be geared to the Govern
ment's living cost index.
During debate yesterday, Sena-
tor Ellender asked Senator Pepper
if the bill would not make an in
crease of about 81 per cent in the
present minimum wage.
Senator Pepper agreed that this
was true. but he said the legal
minimum has Jagged far behind
actual pay rates. He estimated
that only $4,000 employees in in
dustry actually make less than
IS cents an hour.
