The House Committee on Edu-
cation and Labor has reported II.
II. 1885 for consideration by the
full House; this is known as the
Roosevelt Bill. If enacted in its
present form. this bill would raise
the minimum wage to S115 an
hour within the first two years and
to $1.25 an hour thereafter. These
provisions would apply to the 23.9
million workers presently covered
! by the minimum wage law
The Roosevelt Bill would also
bring an additional As million
workers under coverage The new
| Uncovered workers would receive
an initial S1.0O an hour wage with
an escalator provision bringing
them up to SIPS an hour in the
fourth year.
Another bill. expected to be Of
fered as a substitute proposal, is
H. R. $3.50, known as the Ayres
Bill. This bill would also raise the
minimum wage of presently COW
cred employees to S115 an hour
and would establish a minimum
wage of Sl00 for newly-covered
workers.
One of the major differences in
these two bills is the different
criteria which would be used to
determine what new workers
would come under the minimum
wage law Presently, coverage is
extended only to employees of in
dustries engaged in interstate COM
merce. This principle for coverage
has been tested and upheld many
times in the Supreme Court of
the United States.
The Ayres bill would extend the
coverage of the Fair Labor Stand
ards Act to the employees of
large interstate retail enterprises
which have five or more establish
mentS in two or more states. This
would be an extension of but not
deviation from the present 'in-
terstate commerce concept" The
Roosevelt Bill, with certain eX-
ceptionS, would extend the cover
age of the Fair Labor Standards
Act to employees of all retail
and service enterprises which have
an annual volume of sales of one
million dollars or more. This dol
lar test" would create an entirely
new criteria for determination of
eligibility, and coverage could be
subsequently increased simply by
lowering the dollar volume re-
quirement
These major differences will give
rise to much discussion and debate
both on the Floor of the House
of Representative and through
out the entire nation. There are
also many different technical diff
ferenceS in the two bills but up
to this time most of the inquiries
that have been made in my office
have concerned themselves with
the major differences.

A 38-year-old salesman was
indicted on a first-degree mur-

jury today in the shooting of

The defendant is Jack Hay

Police said Mr.. Brawner came
into the restaurant, complain

Mrs. Hayden, all off-duty wait

cents to quiet him, police added.
Hayden then came in and
became involved in the argu-
ment, stepping outside with Mr..

From then on the Congolese

On September s President
Joseph Kasavubu dismissed
Mr.. Lumumba and installed a
regime composed Of army
leaders under Joseph Mobutu,
a colonel with a background as
a journalist and a noncommis-
stoned officer, and a group of
college students. These were
advised by Belgians who re-
turned to the Congo-to the
dismay Of the Lumumba forces
and many Of their supporters
in Asia and Africa.
Mr.. Lumumba remained in
tne Premler's villa, guarded by
U. N. troops from Ghana who
offered protection to Congo
lese politicians asking for it.

rison staged a brief mutiny over
pay. Rumors filled Leopold
vile that Lumumba had es-
capped. Although this later
proved untrue, the news was
enough to send thousands Of
BelgianS and Congolese oppo-
nents Of Lumumba fleeing in
panic across the Congo River.
-Four days later, Mr.. Kasa-
vubu decided he could take no
more chances. He shipped Mr..
Lumumba and two associates
to Katanga province aboard a
secret flight! Again Mr.. Lu-
mumba was beaten at the air
port. He was installed first in
a prison at Jadotville under Mr..
Tshombe's police, then trans
ferred to q series of small cot
tages to prevent contact with
other prisoners.
Pressure for Mr.. LuInumba'S
release was mounting. Asian and
African leaders insisted that no
Congo solution could be
reached without him.

ernment announced his escape.

Late in Move en- Der, he
slipped out Of the villa and
headed for Stanleyville, where
his supporters had set up a
regime the Communists backed
on the ground that it repre-
sented the legal Congolese gov
ernment. At its head was An
tome Gizenga, who served as
Vice Premier under Mr.. Lu-
mumba.
Publicly Beaten
Mr.. Lumumba was caught by
Col. Modulus troops in the in
terror and brought back to
Leopoldville in manacles for
trial on charges Of melting the
army to mutiny. Guards ad-
ministered a public beating to
him at the airport. He then
was transferred to a military
camp.

that they should have been in

been model prisoners and there
was a tendency to laxity on

Health Bill


President Kennedy today
placed an urgent" tag on his
health care. for the aged plan
in a message submitting a TO-
page bill to Congress.
The program. details Of
which were revealed last week,
calls for limited hospitals, nurs-
ing homes and out-patient
care for 14.2 million over-65
beneficiarieS of social security
and railroad retirement. to be
financed by a quarter Of /
per cent boost in social Sc
curity taxes on both employe
and employer.
Mr.. Kennedy said, Il believe
the need for such insurance is
urgent. Every study has DEM
onStrated that the cost of ade-
quate health care for those
over 65 are becoming an ac-
celerated problem"
The administration bill was
to be introduced in the House
today by Representative King,
Democrat of California, the
Second-ranking Democrat on
the House Ways and Means
Committee. Senator Anderson,
Democrat Of New Mexico, who
co-sponSored a similar measure
with Mr.. Kennedy last year, is
the principal sponsor Of the
Senate bill.
Despite President Kennedy's
plea for urgency, indications
are that the Ways and Means
Committee which faces a heavy
agenda of emergency legisla-
ton, will postpone hearings on
the health plan until late this
year or until 1862.

could not be ignored.
Mr.. Lumumba fought the
Belgians who freed the coun-
try, challenged United Nations
forces after inviting them into
the Congo to help restore or
der and waged a running
squabble with tribal leaders in
hopes Of welding the Congo'S
feuding tribes into a single ma
ton. Opponents said this was
a worthy goal but impossible
in the backward Congo now.
Mr.. Lumumba's flirtations
with the Soviet Union led his
political opponents to call him
a Communist. Others charged
him with fascist rule for in
sisting on a strong central
government.
But the 35-year-old Lumumba
called himself a neutralist and
a nationalist desiring only to
unite the 13 million Congolese.
Little Education
Born on July 2. 1925 in Ka-
tatako-Kombe in the Sankuru
district of the Congo's Kasai
province, Lumumba had only a
rudimentary education. He
went to primary school in the
area Of Stanleyville. He con-
sidered it his home town and
drew much political support
there.
Thereafter, he went into
training for three years in the
Congo's postal services school
in Leopoldville, and this re-
suited in a Job as a post office
worker. He was convicted of
embezzling postal funds-to aid
his nationalist movement, he
said. The Belgians sent him to
Jail for three years.
Jailed Again
He emerged as an agitator
for nationalism and a leader In
the movement for independence
Evening star., 1961-02-13

from Belgium. For his agitation,
he was sent to jail once again.
He said Belgium guards beat
him in prison.
Mr.. Lumumba never made
any secret of his hatred for
Belgium's colonial adminiStra-
ton, but for all that, he was
Western in his tastes and in
clination. He never smoked and
only occasionally took a glass
Of wine.
Even though Mr.. Lumumba
won the premiership Of the
Congo on the eve of its inde-
pendence day, June 80. he was
not accepted as a truly national
leader. He was unable to rally
all the tribes behind him and
frequently was under attack
for inability to prevent dis
turbances and the resulting
popular suffering.
He displayed some Of his
political instability by suddenly
deciding to visit the United
States only q few days after
denouncing all the Western
nations as imperialists and in
viting Soviet solidarity against
them.
Visits u. S.
Before his new republic was
q month old. Lumumba was in
the United States seeking sup
port at the United Nations and
in Washington for his demand
that all Belgian troops leave
his country Immediately.
Mr.. Lumumba continued to
shift about even after the
U. N. troops started arriving
in the Congo. One day he
would favor the move and the
next threaten alliance with
Moscow.
There was little difficulty n

Mars May Be Next
Venus orbits 81 million miles
from the sun-about q third
closer than the earth-and thus
gets about twice as much cun-
light and heat as the earth.
Thus astronomers say Venus
may be hundreds Of degrees hot
on its surface. which would
seem to rule out any form of
life as man knows it. 1t would
also be too hot for oceans or
seas, but it may be enveloped
in clouds Of steam.
A. Mikhailov, director of the
Pulkovo observatory, reported
that the distance between
Venus and the earth is now
52.8 million miles but is short
ening each day by almost 600,-
900 miles.
"In the second half Of May
Mr.. Mikhailov told Tass, "the
rocket will make its closest ap-
proach to Venus and it is pos
sible that this brief span oi
time will yield more informa'
ton about this planet than th'
entire previous history of in
vestigations."
Mr.. Mikhailov indicated that
If the space probe Of Venus Il

ton will be made of Mars.

square miles Of cruel bush
country.
The Belgians, who developed
/ its riches, built its railroads,
spread its cities through the
harsh countryside and then
made the fatal error of neg
lecting to develop its human
and mental potential are ca
pable Of restoring the Congo to
prosperity. But they are po-
litically unacceptable to other
African nations and to the
Communist bloc, even operating
under the umbrella Of the
United Nations.
And the United Nations, or
at least its Leopoldville head
quarters, while apparently rec
ognizing its inability to weld
the vast territory into a whole
and bring it to life is reluctant
to permit Belgians to return to
advisory positions even under
U. N. administration.
Money Needed
Only a tremendous financial
and physical effort by the U. N
could succeed in the Congo
And the Russians and their
satellites have refused to help
foot the bill for that.
It is not only the Congo
which will feel the after blast
of Mr.. Lumumba's death.
One Of Mr.. Lumumba'S first
acts in office last July was to
inakurate q campaign aiming
at independence for 5 million
Africans living in neighboring
Angola. His radio blasted the
message of independence on the
air, his newspapers spread II
along the border and his agents
undoubtedly carried it into the
the Portuguese territory. held
by perhaps 100000 whites
Angola has been torn by dis
turbances for two weeks now
Some 80 Africans have been
killed by police there.
Another neighobr, Northern
Rhodesia, has been on the
delicate edge Of black-white
violence. Africans there are de-
manding a greater voice in the
government of the protectorate
and are being opposed by the
small white minority. The pro-
portion there is about 3 million
blacks to 10000 whites.
British Watching
Any violent reaction to Mr.
Lumumba's death in the Congo
easily could provide the rally
ing cry for eXcesses across the
border in Northern Rhodesia.
In London. where the situa-
ton in the British protectorate
OF Northern Rhodesia is being
watched very closely. a Foreign
Office spokesman would not
comment today. He said Lon
don had received no official
confirmation of Mr.. Lumumba S
death yet.
Privately, British sources re-
gard the events in the Congo
as creating a potentially dan
gerous situation on the border
OF Northern Rhodesia. And the
British. above all other colonial
powers. have recognized how
nationalist fervor can spread
through the most desolate
waste lands of the African
continent.
