motion supporting Statewide
probe of gambling activity in
Maryland.
Frank w. Wilde, president,
asked the board to back Gov.
TaweS' stand for an investiga-
ton of the social, economic
and moral aspects of gambling.
DR.. Carl P. Russell and Sam
uel j. Carr moved that the
board support the study, but
L. A. Boehm and DR.. Paul T.
Pritcher quickly moved to table
the motion. This carried on a
voice vote.
Mr.. Boehm asked where the
county was going to get the
100000 a year it receives in
revenue if slot machines and
bingo operations were out
lawed.
DR.. Russell said the gambling
revenue could be replaced by
equalizing property tax assess
ments in the county.
Let the chips fall where they
may" DR.. Russell told the
board. THE time is right to
make a study. 1t is getting more
and more out Of control all of
the time"
Mr.. Wilde, after the motion
to table had been approved, said

activity.
But the Governor added that

and prices.
Any benefits achieved by low
wage workers through "arti-
ficial" increases imposed by the
Government, he said. would
soon disappear because these
workers would have to pay
higher prices for goods and
services.
Senator Goldwater said he
opposes any increase in the
minimum wage or extension Of
coyerage-and, in fact, op-
poses the whole idea Of Federal
wage regulation but intro
duced amendments designed
merely to limit the scope OF
Senator Kennedy's bill.
Republicans and some Dem
ocrats made plans to test Sen
ator Kennedy's prestige and
leadership by bombarding his
bill with amendments.
The Democratic presidential
nominee gave every indication
Of resisting major changes in
his bill, which would raise the
minimum wage from ST to
$l.26 an hour in three annual
steps and extend coverage to
about 5 million workers who
now are excluded.
Labor Secretary Mitchell,

scale down Senator Kennedy's
bill. He has drafted more than
two dozen amendments de-
signed primarily to limit exten-
sion Of coverage. The question
of coverage is more controver-
sial than the dollars -and-cents
level Of the minimum.
About 23.7 million workers
now are covered. Senator Ken
nedy's bill would raise their
minimum wage from the cur
rent 81 an hour to $l.15 next
January /. to $1.20 on January
l, 1862. and to SIPS on January
4, 1868.
Labor Department statistics,
based on year-oid wage rates,
indicate that 3.6 million work
ers would receive wage increases
averaging is cents an hour un-
der terms of the Kennedy bill.
The increased wage bill would
total an estimated $1.l billion.
Other Boosts Expected
In addition to the bills direct
impact, economists assume that
raising the minimum wage
would result in some wage
boosts for higher-paid workers.

The conference Of American

a major test for the inter-
American system.
In the opinion OF many COM
petent observers. the future
effectiveness Of the Organiza-
ton Of American States, as we'll
as Of a number of pactS among
the American republics, will
depend upon the ability Of the
ministers to reach agreement
on serious hemisphere prob
lens.
The principal issues before
the conference will involve ac-
tivities Of Cuba and the Domin-
lean Republic. both of which
are accused Of creating inter-
national tensions that threaten
the peace Of the Western Hemi-
sphere.
The United States hopes to
convince Latin America that
Soviet Russia and Red China
are using the Cuban revolution
as an instrumentality for inter-
vening in hemisphere affairs.
The objective is to show that
the other American govern
ments are threatened by inter-
national communism because of
its penetration Of the Fidel
Castro government.
