LeadersSeek
Vote tuesday
On Wage Bill!
By LEE M. COIN
Star staff Writer

Senate leaders are pushing
for passage of minimum wage
legislation Tuesday, when an
agreement limiting debate will
go into force.
Scheduled for early votes
Tuesday, after a three-day
week end, are amendments to
the Kennedy administrations
bill proposed by Republican
Leader Dirksen of Illinois and
Senator Morton, Republican of
Kentucky.
Defeat of Moves Seen
These amendments would ex-
tend minimum wage coverage
to IL ssesllion workers who now
are excluded, instead of Al
million as proposed by the ad-
miniStration. Backers Of the
administrators bill expect to
defeat the DirkSen and Morton
amendments easily.
Voting on the DirkSen
amendment had been scheduled
for yesterday, but the Republi-
can leaders proposal was
shunted aside by rambling gen.
eral debate. In yesterdays
only action on the bill, the
Senate adopted an amendment
retaining existing overtime ex-
emptions for agricultural pro-
cesSing workers, instead of re-
ducing the exemptions as pro-
posed by the administration.
Bush Against Amendment
Senator Bush, Republican of
Connecticut, said he will vote
against an amendment Spon-
Sored by Senator Monroney,
Democrat Of Oklahoma, re-
verSlng his vote on a similar
amendment last year. This
switch reinforced the expecta-
ton that administration sup
porterS will narrowly defeat
the M on roney amendment,
which is the main challenge
they face.
The Monroney amendment
would extend coverage to about
"a million workers.
| The administration bill would
raise the minimum wage for
workers now covered from 81 an
hour to $1.25 over a 28-month
period. 1t would give the Al
million newly covered workers
a wage floor Of 81 an hour,
raising their minimum to SIPS
in three additional annual
steps.

KefauVer Sets
Pub|icHearinq
For Monday
BY the Associated Press

After two days of wrangling
and table pounding, a Senate
subcommittee's inquiry into
price fixing in the electrical in
dustry is to get under way
again Monday, and in open
hearings.
Members of the Antitrust
Subcommittee were at odds
Thursday and yesterday over
public VS.. closed hearings.
Republicans argued that it
wouldn't be fair to hold public
hearings while multi-million-
dollar damage suits were pend
ing against manufacturers in
volved in the investigation. The
suits grew out of the recent
Philadelphia antitrust pro-
Secutions of a number Of elec-

officers.

Blakley of Texas, was reported

After the vote Senator Ke-
fauver announced the investi-
cation will resume Monday in
public.
Accusations Traded
During the wrangling, Sen
ator Wiley, Republican of Wis
consin, accused Senator Ke-
fauver of seeking publicity.
Senator Kefauver, accusing
Senator Wiley of trying to
force the subcommittee to close
up shop, said it was unbecom-
ing for Senator Wiley to make
such a statement.

Index Up Slightly
The Reserve Boards index of

reached 1924 per cent of the
1857 average, half a percent
age point above February's
1919 per cent and a hairs
breadth above January'S 1923
per cent.
The figures suggested the re-
ceSSion was just rounding its
bottom, with February the low
point. The three-month period
Of very slight change is typical
of a recession at its low point,
but the index has far to 60 to
reach the peak rate of Ill per
cent set last January.
In response to a squirt in both
new and used automobile sales
in March, the manufacturers
have stepped up their April
production schedules, the board
said. Iron and steel output also
continued to rise in early April.
Since steel and autos bulk large
in the index, these trends sug-
gested that the index may show
a more substantial gain in
April.
The Reserve Board summary
noted that non-farm employ
ment held steady in March
while the average hours of work
in manufacturing industries
climbed, although not enough
to reduce the unemployment
rate significantly.

Lion Hunt
Under Way
In County

Shades of Africa! Lions are
reported on the prowl in Mont
gomery County.
Not real African lions, but
possibly mountain lions that
have been driven by hunger
from their natural habitat far
to the west, according to re-
ports currently under investiga-
ton by county game and con-
servation officials.
Henry Hough, local conserva-
ton officer, said he has con-
firmed the existence of a large
cat in the vicinity of Norbeck,
although he conceded it might
be bobcat-more common to
this area of Maryland than the
real mountain lion. He has also
received reports of a second
near Clarksburg.
In the Norbeck area, Hough
examined a cat-like footprint
four inches wide in a wooded
area short distance from the
home of a resident who pre-
viously had reported seeing a
seven-foot mountain lion in his
yard. He ventured the opinion
that the print came either from
a bobcat or mountain lion.
The Norbeck report came on
ly short time after a woman
! living in Clarksburg told of see-
ing an animal resembling a
mountain lion. The feline, she
said, was crouching alongside a
fence in her back yard.
Although mountain lions are
not native to this area, wildlife
authorities concede that the Sc
we're winter might have forced
one or more from their natural
lairs in the mountains in quest
of food.
Mountain lions are not or
dinarily dangerous to humans,
Hough said, but would fight in
self-defense If cornered.

Tax Laws Boost
Museum Acquisitions
BY MILES A. SMITH
AP Arts Editor

(AP) - Uncle Sam has gi e n
some good breaks to the taxpayer
for the sake of sweet charity. Here
are two interesting by-products of
this situation:
% Some of the fine paintings
you see in museums belong partly
to the museum and partly to the
private collectors who have dOnat-
ed them.
For example, Vuillard's ct h e
Park" which is in the Museum of
Modern Art here. Five-ninths of it
belongs to the museum, and the
rest to Mr. and Mrs. William B.
Jaffe The Metropolitan Museum
owns 11-12ths of "Officer Buying
Straw" by Ee Hooch.
(2) Some of the fine paintings
that hang in private homes don't
belong to the master of the house
any more. They belong to muse
umS.
For example, Goya's a m o Il S
painting of the little boy in the
red suit, with a bird-cage, titled
Portrait of Don OsOriO." Most
any time you go into the Metro
politan Museum you'll see it there.
But if Mrs. Gilbert Miller, daugh-
ter of financier Jules Bache, want
ed to hang it in her house for
several months, she's entitled to do
so. She gave it to the museum,
but retained life interest.
Anyone who ever has filled out
the long income tax form knows
that you can give up to 20 per
cent of your adjusted gross in
come to charity, tax free. These
gifts may be made to hospitals,
colleges, a long list of organiza-
tions, or to museums. This pro-
vision has made it easier for col
lectorS to donate their art objects
to museums of their choice.
To cite a smallish example, take
the case of a man whose adjusted
gross income is $4,000 for the
year, which means the govern
ment takes so per cent. But he
could give more than $4,000 to
charity without paying tax on it,
meaning that he would keep more
than $4,000 that otherwise would
have gone to the government
Suppose he has a painting he
bought years ago for $1,000. 1t has
increased in value, and now is ap-
praised at $4,000. He can give it
