Sunday r Jan. 3, 1960 MAIL TRIBUNE, MedforJ, Or. CBviiD flights, Revision off Wage Law Seen as Major Ratifies FacSng Congress By United Press International Washington - Civil rights, revision of the federal mini mum wage law, and federal aid for school construction shaped up Saturday as major battles of the election-year Congress which convenes Wednesday. Civil rights will pit the north against the south; mini mum wage will pit labor against business; and the Ei senhower administration and the Democrats will lock horns in an all-out struggle over the federal government's role in meeting the national class room shortage. Lawmakers, anxious to avoid another major controversy in an election year, were hoping that labor and steel manage ment will settle their differ ences, thereby avoiding de mands on Congress for drastic strike legislation. Midway in the session, Dem ocrats are expected to launch a drive for major liberaliza tion of the Social Security program. Congress has a hab it of doing something for the old folks around election time. There's no sign this year it is going to be any different. No Exuberance Rank-and-file Democrats as aembling for the second ses sion of the 86th Congress are displaying none of the cocky exuberance with which they greeted the first session a year ago. They were then fresh from their 1958 election sweep. Now, with the national economy booming and the cold war showing signs of thawing under Eisenhower manage management. Republicans are claiming credit for peace and prosperity. And Democrats are no longer so confident their party will have the is sues with which it can ride to the White House in November. Compounding the Demo crats difficulty in jockeying for a political advantage is (1) four senators are seeking the Democratic presidential nom ination and (2) the session is expected to be the shortest in eight years. Congress wants to quit before the national politi cal conventions start July 11. Big Issues to Face In the interim it will face these big issues: Civil rights - The Senate has agreed to begin considera tion of this controversial topic Feb. 15. A house bill is pigeon holed in the conservative-dominated rules committee. Nor thern Democrats fear they'll have to resort to a discharge petition to get it to the floor. Congress is expected to enact some kind of moderate pro gram but only after a time consuming battle. And in the end the best the northern Democrats can hope- for is a measure patterned after that recommended last year by President Eisenhower. This would merely neutralize the hour minimum wage boosted to SI. 25 and the program ex tended to cover millions of additional workers. Pro-labor Democrats concede privately they'll have to settle for much less and will have a fight on their hands getting even that. Wants Ceiling Removed Eisenhower wants the 4V4 per cent ceiling removed from the interest the government can offer on its new marketable-bonds. He feels this is even more urgent now than last summer when he termed it the most important issue be fore Congress. Organized labor's chief goal is enactment of federal stand ards that would require many states to parcel out more gen erous unemployment checks to the jobless. As one pro-labor Democrat put it: "The short session cuts both ways. It'll help conservatives block measures we want, but' it'll make it easier for us to stop the interest rate boost the conservatives want." Other issues confronting Congress: . Another Stalemate I CHRISTIAN 1 R SCIENCE J Sundays 9:45 A.M. Station KBOY 730 K.C. stalemate is in prospect, with ; legislation on which Congress ; can agree likely to be vetoed. ' The administration wants price supports lowered. Demo cratic farm leaders favor tighter production controls i but want supports raised to; offset the resultant . drop in farm income. Housing Monetary curbs imposed by the federal reserve ; board to combat inflation have hit the housing industry hard est by boosting interest rates on new mortgages, thereby making it more difficult to sell new housing. Homebuilders, with backing from key Demo crats, hope to persuade Con gress to pump hundreds of mil- lions of dollars of treasury! funds into the mortgage mar ket. The administration is op-. posed to this. Economically depressed areas A Senate-passed bill to i aid communities suffering chronic unemployment is j pending before the House ! rules committee. But with the upturn in the economy the ; drive for the legislation has ; lost some of its steam. Sup-' porters fear it may be jettisoned. Body That of U.S. Girl Farm surpluses - Another issue for the election cam- School construction-ADem-jPQ qQ jf JVlOTOCCO SUT billion dollars in federal grants over the next two years was pending in the Senate when Congress adjourned last September. Democrats are confident they can push it through the Senate early this year but concede they'll have a tough time winning House approval. In any event, the bill would face an almost cer tain veto. Largely for budget ary reasons, the Democratic plan is opposed by the Presi dent. He recommended in stead a "pay-later" bond plan which has evoked little en thusiasm among either Demo crats or Republicans. Minimum wage - This prob ably will provide a replay of the bitter lobbying battle be tween labor and business which marked passage last year of the labor reform bill. Organized labor, which feels it has nothing yet to show for helping to elect Democrats fb Congress, wants the $1.00 per Tangier RJPD Moroccan police are convinced that the murdered girl found in a for est near here, over two weeks ago is a missing American, Barbara Helana Mueller of New York, a top police source said here Saturday. The high police official told the UPI he was sure the case would be cleaned up within the next three or four days. At the same time he shrugged off reports that the decomposed body of a stran gled and mutilated girl found in the Kabiria forest Dec. 13 was that oi another missing American girl, Elizabeth Har riet Benton, of Ogdensburg, N.Y. Awaiting Report "All we are awaiting now," the official said, "is a report from our laboratories which are matching the dead girl's 3 fc.--.-TTTy-.'.-.---.-fty...ftffryn.fr.wflJ -,- -rtnai- TTttv,iMwii--n-nT--n-Tt---1 rv-J-- -y V-y--r- -" r f mV' - irr -i" T IT TA T-rff-'-niVrT nVfrr-ffr-f Tf ..--.-- i itf 0 O - 5 HOUSEWARES DINNERWARE CASH & CARRY!

"But we have much more than just the hair to prove the dead girl is barbara Mueller," he added. He mentioned clothing recovered from the Tangier hotel in which she had been living. "And on Monday," he said, "we will be able to talk for the first time with the Eng lishman in the hospital. We feel that once he has made a statement, the case will be come clear." This was a reference to William Edward Moore, 26, who is being held in connec tion with the discovery of the body. Attempted Suicide Moore attempted suicide after being picked up by po lice. "The police will be allowed to talk to Moore by the doc tors this coming Monday," the police source said. "We also have a number of clues , di rectly linked with the missing Mueller girl." Until Moore has made a statement, however, the case cannot officially be made ; public nor could a positive ! identification of the dead girl be given out, the source said. He indicated that among other items, a camera known ! to have belonged to Miss Mueller was found in Moore's possession. Not Benton Girl The police official gave no backing to reports which claimed the murdered girl might be the Benton girl, who disappeared from the yacht "raider 'some time after it touched Casablanca on its way to the Canary Islands. He said the police had checked out the Benton girl's whereabouts, and that though they had no indication as to where she was, they were confident she was not the girl found in the Kabiria forest.

G. Erickson of the internal revenue service, said Saturday. Income which is often not reported, but should be be cause it is taxable, includes income from part-time work, dividends, tips or other gratu ities, interest on savings ac counts, and other sources, Erickson said. Profits on the sale of real or personal property are sub ject to special rules and must be reported, he added. There are some dividends and other kinds of income that ' do not need to be reported, but taxpayers should check their instruction booklet or a tax guide to determine what is and what is not to be reported.
