Batch Of Bills
On D. {. Clear
House Unit
BY JOHN McKELWAY
Star Staff Writer

The House District Commit
tee today cleared a batch of
local bills in what was probably
its last meeting of this session
of Congress.
Major legislation included a
bill which will speed efforts to
build up the downtown area
by granting the District Com
missioners authority to use
urban renewal machinery in a
purely commercial area.
Previously, the urban renewal
program has been restricted to
slums and "blighted" areas. The
bill is given some chance of
passage by the House and Sem
ate before Congress adjourns.
The bill also represents a
compromise over a piece OF
legislation written by the Fed
eral City Council, which had
hoped to streamline redevelop-
ment programs.
Welfare Bill Moved
Also reported out was a Sem
ate-passed bill Tightening and
consolidating a group of well
fare regulations. The bill, which
has kicked around Congress for
years. was pushed by Senator
Byrd, Democrat of West Vir-
ginia, who has been spearhead-
ing efforts to clear welfare rolls
of freeloaders and to improve
the administration of the We'll
fare Department.
Also approved by the COM
mittee were bills to:
Require the District Com
missioners to present to Con-
gress a plan to use the Cap
itol Theater as a municipal
theater.
Require the General Serv-
ices Administration to restore
and renovate the Belasco Thea
ter on Lafayette Square. The
theater would be managed by
the District Recreation Board
Authorize the construction
at some point along Maine
avenue in Southwest Washing
ton of a statue of a MAINE
lobster man." commemoratine
the State of Maine.
Nurses Age Set
Reduce from Fl to 10 years
the age at which a person may
obtain a license as a registered
nurse in the District.
Require a public hearing be-
fore any theater in the District
of Columbia which is suitable
for various productions can be
demolished.
Adjust the retirement and
relief compensation of retired
District police and firemen.
Increase from 81 to 50 the
fee charged for a drivers per-
NIT.
The bills will probably be
taken up by the House on Mon
day.

SERVICE REPORTS
WORKER SHORTAGE
IN GROUPS

Despite extensive recruitment,
the Sidney Employment office
continues TO experience shortages
of workers in certain groups, it
wal reported by Howard Sarbu,
manager Sidney office of the
Montana State Employment Ser
vice. He sad, the local office is
periodically plagued by shortages
of qualified office workers, sales
clerks and hOuSekeepers, and the
zhortage is expected to become
more acute with the approach of
summer ard the resulting increase
in the demand for workers.
To help overcome the shortage,
experienced workers in these
groups are urged to come into the
office and register for work.
The greatest shortage is in the
clerical group. Many clerical
workers presently registered have
good backgrounds, but have ne
elected their tipping and short
hand, SO cannot qualify for the
majority Of job openings. Sarbl
urged lhese workers to 'fbCne UP
on their tipping at home or JOIN
a tipping class.
He added that the Sidney Higl
School is offering an excellen
tipping course and that intereSte'
workers could qualify for man.
good paying positions by complet
ing one of these classes.

Beet Growers Assn
Directors Attend
Denver Meeting

William Badt, Michael Rambur
of Sidney, Harold Riedel of Fair
view and Homer SeEby Of the Blu
foTd-Trenton area, Directors Of the
Montana Beet Growers Association
sttuldsd a public hearing, in Dem
yer, scheduled by the Secretary of
Labor Arthur J. Goldberg, on the
possible adverse effect that the
use Of imported Mexican agricul-
tUral labor might have on the
wages and working conditions Of
domestic farm workers.
Information now available to
the Secretary Of Labor raises a
question as to whether he ccn
certify for the use Of Mexican Ma
tiOnal labor in this area, unless
the Mexican workers are paid a
per hour rate Of not less than
S1.O0.
In respect to The understanding
that the Secretary OF Labor en-
ploys certain standards relative To
the farmers ability to pay in order
to determine the hour rate, il
was pointed out by the Assoc'a-
ton Directors that in 1852 the
price per ton of sugar beets was
S14.48, that the 1861 crop is eSti-
mated to pay Sl4.25 per ton to the
grower, and the average for tbs
ten year period Of the fifties was
1892. AT The same time it was
pointed out that supplies and farm
machinery has advanced very
sharply. A tractor capable CT
handling a best harvester now
costs at least twice what it cost
ten years ago.
IL was also recommended by
the Directors THAT the piece-rsta
system which allows family Uni S,
The young and the old, to help ex-
pzEd the family income by some
contribution to the total work
I5ne be c-nt.nued WI n. During
.ery recent years tanners havs
-eJn provided with mcncgerm
SD which in many cases is also
pelleizsd fer precise planting.
Now, with our precision planters,
c~3ted mcnOgerm seed, mechcn--
Gl hlinners, chemical weed con-
rol u-d 50 en-, the task 10 be per-
lcrmed is greatly reduced. Under
y-d5ys conditions, because OF i'm
NrOvsd technology the worker, un-
der identical pi-ce rate structure,
can earn half again as much as
re could ten years ago.
