Failure of Bill Raises

will be easy to obtain a broad
minimum wage next year if
Senator Kennedy is elected
President and the Democrats
retain control Of Congress.
Representative Barden of
North Carolina, a conservative
Democrat, is retiring from Con-
gress. Representative Powell of
New York, who has a pro-union
record, is scheduled to succeed
Mr.. Barden as chairman of the
House Labor Committee.
Mr.. Barden led a coalition of
conservative Republicans and
Democrats in the conference.
This coalition refused to broad
en- the House bill at all. The
deadlock between the House
and Senate conferees killed
both bills.
Conferees backing Senator
Kennedy considered asking the
Senate or House for instruc-.
tionS on how to break the dead
lock, but these plans were
abandoned. There was little
likelihood either chamber would
have ordered its conferees to
yield.
How Bills Differ
The Senate's bill, sponsored
by Senator Kennedy, would
raise the minimum wage grad
ually from 81 to $1.25 an hour
and would extend coverage to
4 million workers who now are
excluded. The Houses bill would
raise the wage floor for work
ers now covered to $1.15 and
extend coverage to IA million
workers, who would get a mini
mum wage Of 81 without over
time.
The main dispute was over
Senator Kennedy's proposal to
cover retailers and most other
businesses with gross annual
sales of 81 million or more,
even if they operate within one
State. The House, claiming to
defend the Constitutions in
terstate commerce clause, in
sisted on extending coverage
only to retailers with five or
more stores in two or more
States.
PrOuty Seeks Compromise
Senator Prouty, Republican
of Vermont, took the lead in
trying to achieve a compromise
in conference. He offered a Sc
ries Of proposals embodying
variations of Senator Kennedy's s
one-State coverage principle.
Senator Kennedy and his back
ers rejected some and accepted
others. The House conferees
turned down all the Prouty pro-
posals that came to a vote, and
offered no compromises of their
own.
Senate Republican Leader
Dirksen offered a substitute bill
that would have retained the
Houses concept of interstate
commerce with slightly broad
ened coverage. Senator Kenne-
dy and his supporters rejected
this proposal.

Johnson Reveals
Communication
Satellite Plans

HOUSTON, Tex, April 81
(AP). - Senator johnson of
Texas said today the United
States on May 5 will attempt
to launch a communications
satellite that when fully devel-
oped will revolutionize the
methods of talking over great
distances.
In a speech prepared for the
opening session of the State
Junior Chamber of Commerce
convention Senator johnson
said the National AeronauticS
and Space Administration
would announce plans for Sat-
elite Echo later today.
This aluminium sphere, 100
feet in diameter, is designed
to allow radio waves to be re-
f1ected or bounced from its sur
face back to earth, thus SPAN
ming heretofore impossible dis
tanceS, Senator johnson said.
Project Echo is step in a
long-range program to develop
the use of satellites to provide
truly global communications.
Television, developed in your
lifetime, which still today in
all its glory provides only linn
tied coverage to certain areas,
can be expected to benefit
greatly from the Echo satellite.
The day will come when one
man - one program - can be
seen and heard simultaneously
in every living room of the
world"

De GouIIe's Prestige
At Peak for u. S. Visit

European Correspondent of The Star
PARIS, April 81. - Two
themes dear to the hearts of
Frenchmen - the prestige of
France and the global stature
of President Charles de Gaulle
set the tone for Gen. de
Gaulle'S state visit which gets
under way in Washington to-
morrow.
Unless his countrymen are
badly mistaken, his stay in the
Capital and his tour of New
York, San Francisco and New
Orleans will produce many a
glowing expression of Franco
American friendship. 1t should
also bring new recognition for
the man who described himself
with characteristic accuracy as
"a fabulous personage.

London two. weeks, ago, there
are no qualms here about the
success of the visit in terms of
public reaction. Gen. de Gaulle

Labor Secretary Mitchell to-

hour and to extend coverage to
81 million of the "a million
workers who now are excluded.
Rival proposals to increase
the wage floor to $1.25 and to
extend coverage to 7 million or
more workers are Impractical

he made in a report last Febru-
ary. The new element today
was his translation of his pro-
posal for a moderate" in
crease in the $1-an-hour wage
minimum.
Under questioning, he said
$1.10 would be moderate, "
and would be beneficial to
low-paid workers in low-wage
industries (and) would not
cause any great problems of
adjustment or hardship to en-
ployerS or workers."
Chides Congress
Secretary Mitchell told the
subcommittee extension of COW
erage is more important than
raising the minimum wage
level. He chided Congress for
failing to respond to President
Eisenhower'S recommendations
during the last seven years for
extending coverage.
Mr.. Mitchell estimated that
his proposal to extend cover
age to 81 million workers
would directly give wage in
creaSes to 650,000 who now are
paid less than 81 an hour. An
increase in the $1-an-hour
minimum would give wage
boosts to an unspecified num-
ber of additional workers.

I'VE do favor adopting an

pay fixing in the future" he
said.
Mr.. Stans, regarded as one of
the most influential men in the
Eisenhower administration,
gave these reasons for opposing
a general pay increase now:
First, he said, enactment of
bills before the committee
would grant salary increases
without regard to the only
sound principle of Federal pay
fixing, which is reasonable
compatibility with private en-
terprise salary rates."
Sees Unfair Raises
Based on information pres
emily available, he said, the
pay increase would result in
grossly excessive salary rates
for some grades and possibly
inadequate salary rates IN other
grades"
Mr.. Stans also said the rates
contained in the bills ARE
without sound factual justitica-
ton"
He stated that approval of
the bills would emphasize
existing inequities in the Fed
eral white collar salary struc-
ture And, he declared, this
would set new obstacles to
achieving the improvements
and controls which are essen
tial to carrying out the prin-
cipIe of equal pay for equal
work.
Mr.. Stans estimated that
passage of the bills would re-
suit in an annual additional
cost of SIG billion-about a
20 per cent average increase in
the current $8.4 billion payroll.

Rights Bill by
1885 Vote
Senute Version
Approved, Measure
Goes to President
BY j. A. OLEARY
Star Stah Writer

The. House today, by a 1885
vote, completed action on the
civil rights bill of 1860 by
accepting Senate amendments.
This sends the measure to
the White House, where Presi-
dent Eisenhower is expected
to sign it.
The main feature of the bill
Is the authority for Federal
judges to appoint voting
referees to hear the applica-
tions of persons who claim they
have been denied the right to
register and vote by State elec-
tion officials.
Today's action ended a battle
which began in the Senate on
February Is.
BY accepting the Senate
version the House avoided
weeks of further delay that
would have ensued if the House
had sent the bill to a Joint
conference committee.
In brief debate before pas
sage, Representative Celler,
Democrat of New York. urged
the House to take the Senate's
modified version of tne bill
even though it is not entirely
satisfactory.
The New Yorker, who heads
the House judiciary Commit
tee. promised that if this bill
fails to achieve its goals he
will be the first to introduce
additional legislation next year.
Republican Leader Halleck
agreed that the bill does not
satisfy everyone. He said it
goes too far for some. not far
enough for others. But he con-
graduated members of both
chambers for reaching an ex-
peditious and intelligent" con-
cluSion on the subject. Mr..
Halleck called this "a mem
orable day"
Meany Hits Action
In a statement, meanwhile,
AFL-CIO President George
Meany said the bill did not
meet the labor organizations
"hopes for a truly mean
ingful bill" and that the next
Congress would be asked for
further legislation.
Mr.. Meany criticized the
Senate amendment making it
a Federal crime to resist Fed
eral court orders by force or
threats.
This amendment" he said.
"will do absolutely nothing to
further the cause of civil rights,
but could permit harassing ac-
ton against unions by un-
friendly Federal attorneys"
In addition to the voting
referees section, other provis-
ions of the bill would:
/. Make it a Federal offense
to use force or threats to OBJ
struct any court order. The
penalty for violations would be
a fine of not more than $1,000

He said West Virginia voters
