BY ROBERT e. CLARK
Star Staff Writer

President Ke nm edy asked
Congress today to increase the
minimum wage to SIPS an
hour in three yearly steps and
extend coverage to an addi-
tional 4.3 million workers.
The detailed legislative pro-
posal carried out q pledge Mr..
Kennedy made during his
campaign for the presidency
to renew the fight he lost on
the issue last fall. Last Au-
gusts session Of Congress re-
jected q similar plan Of Mr..
Kennedy's.

For the millions Of new
workers who would be en-
braced by the bill-mostly in
the retail trades and services
an initial minimum wage Of
81 an hour would be fixed. This
would be increased to $1.05 in
the second year, $l.15 in the
third, and SIPS thereafter.

ployes In the, first year. 50 that

"Our Nation can Ill afford to

Medical Care

Others Planned,
Ruyburn Says

President Kennedy plans to
send Congress q special mes
sage Thursday submitting his
program for expanding health
and medical care for the aged
under the social security sys-
tenn. Democratic congressional
leaders said today.
House Speaker Rayburn and
Majority Leader Mccormack
listed a total Of 10 more special
messages that the President
plans to send Congress this
month.
They said his proposals for
expanded Federal aid to educa-
ton will be submitted next
Tuesday.
Other Messages Due
Other messages this month
were listed in this order:
Water resources, agriculture,
budget and fiscal policy, an
additional special message on
the budget situation, taxation,
housing, foreign aid and de-
tense.
Mr.. Rayburn said some spe-
cial forms of tax reduction to
serve as an incentive to
business expansion were being
considered.
But he threw cold water on
any chances for a general tax
cut. "I think that with the
budget in the shape it is in, )"
the Speaker said, that is a dis
NAL prospect unless we could
be assured that it would be an
incentive"
Sees Budget Revision
Asked If Mr.. Kennedy ex-
pected to propose a general
revision Of the budget submit
ted to Congress early in Janu-
ary by President Eisenhower.
Mr.. Rayburn said he supposed
the new President would "try
to clear up some matters that
have been left a little in the
fog"
He added that it is doubt
full If revenues are going to be
what had been anticipated by
some people"
Mr.. Rayburn and Mr.. Nc
CorniAck talked with reporters
at the White House after they
and other Democratic congress
sional leaders conferred at
breakfast with Mr.. Kennedy.
Mr.. Rayburn said later at
the Capitol that he believes the
House will act this year on a
bill for medical care for aged.
He added, however. that he
could not predict what kind of
a bill 1t would be.
He told reporters he person.
ally believes that financing of
such a program should be tied
In with the social security sys-
tenn. He said he did not know
whether such method would
be approved by the Ways and
Means Committee or by the
House itself.
