Kennedy Pleads for
 Prompt Consideration" of Minimum Wage Boost Bill

WASHINGTON R - President Kennedy Tuesday sent to Con- gress - with a plea for prompt consideration" bill to boost the $1 minimum wage to SIPS and give 43 million workers the protection of wage floor.
 The higher minimum, Kennedy said in message to House Speak CT Sam Rayburn would be achieved by a series of annual rises "to which employers can readily adjust"
 Our nation can ill-afford to tolerate the growth of an under privileged and underpaid class" the letter said.
 "Substandard wages lead neces- sarily to substandard living con- ditions, hardship and distress.
 "Since the last increase in the minimum wage both living costs and productivity have increased to such an extent that the pro- posed bill merely reflects an ad- justment to keep pace with these factors"

BY Erwin I. Hsss

"A piece of modern bias

the lack of economic progress

lie did not believe that geo

the lack of a countrY's de-

Economic development or
lack Of it, he said, ''is primar-
lily due to differences in peo-
Pile - in their attitudes, GUS
toms, traditions and in the
consequent differences in their
political, social and religious
institutions"
He said further that people
in the downtrodden countries
must change some of their
thinking and some of their
methods, and that govern

He added that graft was not
