Compromise
In Minimum
Wage Bill Due
WASHINGTON. April 1-JP-Administration
forces were re
ported near a compromise tonight
with one senate faction oppos
ing the 65-cent minimum wage
bill.
A senate source said "considera
ble progress" has been, made to
ward getting together with the
group, led by Senators Ellender
(D-La) and BaU (R-Minn), which
has offered a 55-cent substitute.
This official said two wage
propositions were under consider
ation: 1. A flat boost of the present
40-cent minimum wage to 60 cents
effective nine months after the
measure is enacted.
2. A 55-60-65 scale in place
of the administration's 65-70-75.
The administration measure calls
for an increase to 65 cents imme
diately, to 70 cents after two
years and to 75 cents after four
years.
Senate leaders were represen
ted as inclined to the flat 60 -cent
proposal.

Spanish Dancer Pianist Bring
Tidents to Knife j Fork Club
h ' - ' . ! i ;
By Isabel Chllds " i '
City Editor. The Statesman I'M
Dancing feet arid 'dancing eyes, gay. and gorgeous costumes, throb
bing music and crackling castanets and for two hours Monday
night members of the Salem Knife and Fork club lived in Spain
and Latin-America, although they never left the, mirror room of
the Marion hotel. 'i
Teres il a Osta, .dancer, and Emilio Osta, pianist and brother
of the sparkling young feminine
star, were roundly applauded for
their varied program, second "nov
elty" art feature brought to the
club here- during Its two years
existence (Baroness Suzanne Sil
vercruys. sculptress, demonstrated
her working techniques last year,
at the sa me time lecturing, on art).
Spanish," Indian (Peruvian Inca),
gypsy dances and an jota (easant,
from Aragon, reputedly the fastest
European folk dance) were among
the major attractions of Miss
Osta's portion of the performance.
But the Cato Argentino, which
she brought back, on encore, par
ticularly, tickled the fancy of on
lookers. A saucy number to begin
with, it permitted her to flirt and
frown, make eyes and faces in the
intimacy of the converted banquet
room.
The pianist, who not only ac
companied his sister but appeared
in two groups of solo numbers, de
light ed his audience, but was call
ed back time and again after his
rendition of Chopin's Polonaise in
A flat, only non Latin or non-Indian
selection on the program and
better- understood by a majority
of his hearers than any other. As
an encore he played Chopin's waltz
in A flat.
Next program on the Knife and
Fork club agenda, April 15, brings
the Archduke Felix of Austria as
a lecturer to Salem, Justice George
Rossman, president of the organi
zation, announced.
U. S. Pressing
Hunt for Nazis
FRANKFURT, April 1.
United States intelligence officers,
pressing a manhunt for remnants
of the powerful nazl underground
movement smashed in Sunday's
spectacular mass raids, disclosed
today the existence of several oth
er subversive nazl groups plotting
against the allies In occupied Ger
many. While Sunday's raids broke the
back of the most sinister nazi
group yet to reappear, intelligence
officers indicated this was only
the beginning.
Counter-espionage agents, work
ing night and day, hunted for rem
nants of the group. About 20 per
cent of the target suspects had
leftpr fled their addresses before
the agents struck Sunday.
