Roosevelt
Institute to
BeAsked

Representative Bennett, DEM
ocrat Of Florida, planned to in
troduce a bill today calling for
establishment of a Franklin D.
Roosevelt Institute as "a living
memorial" to the late President.
The institute would be a small
graduate school of political SCI
ence for students interested in
a Government career, Mr.. Ben
nett said.
In proposing the legislation,
Mr.. Bennett plans to make 1t
plain that he hopes the insti-
tute will take the place Of the
controversial modernistic me-
mortal suggested recently by
a New York architectural firm
and now under study by various
planning groups here.
He said the institute would
occupy the site on the tract re-
served for Roosevelt memorial
on the open parkland between
the Jefferson and Lincoln me-
MORALS. the exact location con-
templated for the controversial
slab" edifice.
The bill provides for creation
Of Remember commission to
solicit the submission of archi-
tectural plans which would take
into account the functional
needs of the institute together
with its purpose as a memorial
to the late President.
The institute itself, Repre-
sentative Bennett said, which
would consist Of a small faculty
and few hundred students at
most. would be governed by a
five-member board of trustees
appointed by the President with
the advise and consent of the
Senate. The institute would
provide no living accommoda-
tions.
Students would be admitted
to the institute on fellowsh:ps
covering tuition and all other
necessary expenses. They would
agree to accept an appointment
in the Federal Government
commensurate with their edu-
cation and training after they
had completed their studies.
They would serve at least four
years in the Government.
Up to 5 per cent of the stu
dents could be aliens interested
in prusuing Government careers
in the countries of their origin.
Mr.. Bennett said.

Pygmy Hippos Throw
Biz Ones for Loss
BY JERRY OLEARY JR.
Star staff Writer

A mighty weighty problem is
facing the Washington Zoo.
They seem to have too many
big hippos.
There is a ready market for
pygmy hippos (of which the
Zoo has FOUR but it seems that
nobody wants the huge Nile
hippos (of which there are also
four in Washington.
What Zoo Director Theodore
Reed would like are more baby
pygmies. which are easy to
trade or sell for as much as
$4,000 q piece, or fewer Nile
hippos. which apparently are
a glut on the market and can't
be given away. Only lions are
harder to get rid of among
animal men in the United
States.
Joe, the Zoos big Nile hippo,
weighs more than 5000 pounds
even though he is only 6 years
old. His prolific mate, Arusha,
is 7 but she weighs 1000
pounds. 1t takes a lot of hay
and cabbages to feed 1000
pounds of hippo.
Zoo officials would be con-
tent to maintain a whole herd
of Nile hippos If they had the
zambesi River at their disposal:
but, as 1t is. space is at a
premium. Besides, the joe
Arusha love affair has produced
two hefty offspring who are
pretty big eaters in their own
right and use up a lot of space
besides. They are Jessie, a 21a-
year-old semale and a nameleSs
male born last June.
All things being equal, DR..
Reed would like to trade or sell
the two newcomers, but no.
body will have them at any
price.
On the other hand, the
pygmy hippo population of the
Zoo Is a source of envy to every
Zoo in the world and DR.. Reed
says he could dispose Of all four

,ThirdM Major
Clash Over
Wage Bill Seen
Hv the Associated Press

Battlelines are being drawn
in the House for the third ma
jor clash on minimum wage
legislation within the past year.
An administration backed ap-
proach twice rejected by the
House is due for another test
Wednesday, and both sides are
girding for an all-out effort.
At issue is the method of ex-
tending minimum wage protec-
tion to retail and service en-
ployes. Since the law was
passed in 1888 coverage has
been limited to workers in pro-
duction and distribution.
The administration favors
bringing in retail and service
establishments doing at least 81
million annual gross business,
with many specific exemptions.
A coalition of Republicans
and Southern Democrats in the
House wants to hold new COW
erage to chains operating at
least five outlets in two States.
Both sides would raise the
present $1-an-hour minimum
the administration to $1.15 now
and to SIPS two years later.
and the coalition to $1.15 with
no further increase.
A year ago when the two YER
Sions were put to a vote the
coalition triumphed 211-203.
Last month it repeated its VIC
tory by a 216-203 vote, although
in a preliminary test its win
ming margin was only one vote.
186-185. The Senate approved
the $1-million-cutoff approach
both times.

BILE to the administration con-
troll the House conferees and
have agreed, for the most part,
to the Senate version of the
bill. Final agreement is ex-
pected tomorrow.
1t Is this agreement that
must be approved by the House
before the bill can be passed.
The Senate is due to act on the
conference report Tuesday and
its acceptance is assured.
But Representative Ayres,
Republican of Ohio, eo-author
with Representative Kitchen,
Democrat of North Carolina, of
the chain-store approach, says
he is convinced the House will
