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: .

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.

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.

it has nothing yet to show for

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

hair with some we found in
her possession.
"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.

Some Taxpayers Fail
To Report Income
Portland - Many federal in
come taxpayers fail to report'
income received during the
preceding year that is not re
ported on their W-2 withhold
ing tax certificates, district
director, A. 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. '
