prepared to sustain the President in
the exercise of all his constitutional

the present and future without any
reference to the past. President

Watered Down Version Of Wage Proposal Okayed By Labor Committee

WASHINGTON tR-The House Labor Committee yesterday ap- proved a slightly Watered down version of the administration minimum wage proposal
 A full week has been set aside in the House beginning March 20 for consideration of the highly controversial measure. A month of struggle was required to get it through committed
 The bill that finally emerged would raise the present $1-an- hour minimum to $1.15. Two years later it would automatically go to SIPS unless the next Congress acted to prevent it.
 The administration had pro- posed an intermediate step from $1.15 to $120 before the SIPS was reached.
 The bill would also extend coverage to 4,311,000 workers now exempt from minimum wage leg islation, most of them in large retail and service firms. This is almost exactly what the admin istration requested.
 In its final session on the bill the committee removed 400, 1000 hotel, motel and restaurant work CTS from the section extending coverage. They had been put in by the committee Tuesday.

 What did I tell you to tell him?" The President asked the youngster with a nod toward Tru- man.
 "Oh, yes," Caroline bubbled. "You used to live in our house."

Bill tO Move
 Highway Office Tabled by Senate

. terday, during an afternoon of fast action, passed a bill which would require that genuine and authentic native arts and crafts be labeled as such and tabled a bill calling for relocation of the headquarters of the State High way Division in westward Alaska.
 The native arts bill is designed to protect the arts and crafts of Alaska natives from competition by mass-produced limitations.
 The highways division proposal brought the sharpest floor fight of the day before the Senate laid the bill on the table. Sen. George McNabb gave notice before ad- journment, however, that he would ask for reconsideration.
 The bill as offered would have moved the Highways Division to place north and west of Yakutat.
 The Senate adopted an amend ment by McNabb asking that the Highways Division headquarters be relocated in the Fairbanks area.
 With a thinly-veiled hint to the members of the Senate from southeastern Alaska, McNabb told the upper chamber:
 Fairbanks is the hub of the states road system, just at south east Alaska should be the center of the ferry system.
 "I would like to remind the people of the sc'theast that they are going to have to have the sup port of the ice bloc in getting ferry system"
 Sen. Pollock of Anchorage said "The people who are living with this should be the ones to decide where the headquarters should be located. Fairbanks may be the proper place, I don't know, but we should let the people involved decide"
 At this point, Mcnabb took the floor and said:
 "This is the first time during this session that the good senators Brad Phillips and Pollock have agreed to leave anything to the discretion of the administration" !"
 Pollock jumped to his feet.
 "A point of order, MT. PreSi- dnet. That is not true. He is singling us out and I resent it. He should stop it."
 Then, turning to McNabb, whose seat is directly behind Pollock's, Pollock pointed his fin ger at McNabb and said:
 "I'm warning you, stop it"
 The Senate, then, in rapid-fire order, defeated an amendment to give Anchorage consideration as the place for the new headquar- ters of the Highways Division; de- feated a motion to table the bill; turned down a motion to advance it to final passage; approved an amendment by Sen. Metcalf of Seward which knocked out Me Nabb's amendment; and tabled the bill, l1-9.

Weaver and his agency to cabi-
net status by creating a new
department of urban affairs

Former NAACP Chairman
AS a former chairman of the
National Association for Ad-
vancement of Colored People
(NAACP). Weaver has been
prominently identified with the
Negroes struggle for equal
rights. But he was not tapped
for high government office
merely as a representative of
his race.
He has been professionally
involved with housing problems
for 80 years, and is widely re-
garded as a leading authority
on urban renewal. Before Ken
nedy called him to Washington,
he was a member of New York
City's Housing and Redevelop-
ment Board, and formerly had
sserved as New York State rent
administrator.
In an interview that touched
on a wide range of his con-
Germs, from segregation to slum
clearance, Weaver proved him
self a poised and affable man
who believes strongly in racial
equality, but doesn't wear a
chip on his shoulder about that,
or anything else.
He is a tall, heavy-set man of
SO, almost entirely bald, with a
thin moustache and a light
brown complexion. He chain
smoked cigarets throughout the
interview.
Thinks Negro Progressing
Did he feel that Negroes are
making rapid strides toward
full equality of opportunity in
America?

has accelerated during the past
few years" he said. "But ii
still isn't fast enough.
Its easy for person in my
position to think that the mil.
lenium has arrived for every.
body else, too. But of course,
that just isn't true"
AS an NAACP official, Weav.

in all federally-aided housing
What did he intend to do about
that, now that he's head of all
federal housing activities?
