By HENRY SHAPIRO
Moscow - IUPD - This dis
patch was written at midnight
from the comfort of my apart
ment, home of United Press
correspondents for almost
three decades.
I am free to pick up the
receiver and phone my story
to London or New York with
out an invisible censor look
inff over mv shoulder. Or I
can send it down to the Cen
tral Telegraph Office where a
friendly, cheerful girl recep
tionist inserts it into a pneu
matic tube to an upper-floor
operator for Immediate trans
mission. By force of habit, my wor
ried wife - who because of the
- peculiarities of local working
conditions has not known nor
mal existence for more than
20 years-asks if I will disap
pear for a night-long vigil to
the "sweatshop," as the for
eign correspondents call the
Central Telegraph.
It seems too good to be true
.House Leaders
Push lor Vote on
Pared Wage Bill
Washington (UPI) House
Democratic , leaders pushed
for a vote today on a trimmed
version of President Kenne
dy's minimum wage bill.
They were confident that they
could defeat attempts by con
servatives to enact 8n even
slimmer measure.
The new bill would retain
much of Kennedy's wage
floor program but make some
vital concessions on the issue
of new Wage-Hour Law cov
erage. House leaders thought their
new bill would set off a wave
of defections from the Republican-Southern
Demo c r a t i c
coalition seeking approval of
a shsrrply limited wage floor
measure..
Coalition Claims Strength
But Republicans leading the
coalition said they still would
have enough votes to beat
both the trimmed bill and the
Kennedy -backed version
when voting began-probably
late today.
Although the administra
tion was amply represented at
the closed-door meeting
where the compromise bill
was drafted, Kennedy told his
news conference a short time
later that he still hoped his
measure or something close
to it would be passed.
The President said, "I find
it difficult to know why any
one would oppose seeing
somebody, by 1963, paid $1.25
an hour in interstate com
merce. I consider it to be a ver
minimum wage."
Two-Slip Increase
The new bill introduced by
Rep. Carl Albert (D-Okla.)
would raise the minimum
hourly wage for workers now
under the law to $1.15 four
months after enactment and
to $1.25 two years later. Tills
provision is backed by Ken
nedy. It- would extend limited
coverage of the law to 3.8
million workers, but hold
their wage floor at $1 an hour
and provide no extra require
ment for overtime pay after
40 hours a week. This repre
sents i retreat from Kenne
dy's position.
Generally speaking, it would
cover single retail and service
establishments which gross $1
million or more in annual
sales and the individual out
lets of large chain store com
panies which gross more than
$250,000 a year. Coverage
also would require that the
stores affected derive at least
a quarter of their sales from
goods that have moved from
stale to state.

a single deletion.
Graveyard of Stories
UPI headquarters, one of
the few foreign residences out
side the so-called diplomatic
ghetto, ig no longer a grave
yard of untold stories.
To some extent we still
shall be compelled to make
bricks without straw unless
the Soviet authorities relax
their monopoly of the sources
of information.
But henceforth, we are free
to report the sounds, sights,
smells, facts and views subject
only to standards of objectiv
ity, accuracy, good taste and
judgment.
This Is a far cry from the
exasperating years of frustra
tion of love's labor lost, of
wasteful, brain-wracking try
ing to outguess the censor s
caprices or of futile waiting
for his arbitrary, unappeal
able decisions.
Squelch Stalin's Death
One night, during the fate
ful days of March, 1953, when
I had set up a make-shift bed
room at the sweat-shop, a
friend telephoned a report
that Stalin had suffered a
stroke.
When I handed my first
urgent dispatch to the normal
ly polite young receptionist,
she angrily tore it up and
tossed the fragments in my
face. The dedicated Commu
nist girl, who had known no
other leader but Stalin and
was convinced of his immor
tality, refused to hand my
dispatch to the censor hiding
behind the green curtain.
This was unreportable un
til hours later when Tass
issued an official communique.
' There followed a three-day
death watch when a handful
of Western correspondents
camped at the "sweat-shop"-unablc
to report on develop
ments before official releases.
Efforts Unsuccessful
I happened to learn of
Stalin's death four hours be
fore the official government
announcement. Exasperating
efforts to reach New York,
London, Paris or Helsinki all
proved unsuccessful. The tele
phone line broke down at each
mention of Stalin.
I finally was able to report
the death when I reached our
London correspondent, Bob
Musel, and asked him: "You
know what happened?" Musel
replied promptly: "Stalin
died."
The phone line became as
dead as the Soviet premier,
but we had the first Moscow
dated story of the end of the
Stalin era.

Youngsters Say
Proposal Not
Curb To Sins
Salem - (UPD - The House
Highways Committee agreed
with the pert 15-year-old
daughter of a top state aide
Thursday that you can't wipe
out youthful immorality by
taking what a policeman
called a "rolling bed on
wheels ' away from teenagers.
The committee voted unan
imously to table a bill that
would have denied cars to
younger drivers by raising the
driving age from 16 to 18.
No Age Limits
The action came after
Kathy Nunn, daughter of Gov
Mark Hatfield's chief aide
Warne Nunn, told the com
mittee "immorality has no age
limits. Sixteen and 17-year-
olds who want to commit
moral sins can do so almost
as easily without a car."
"The problem goes back to
the home," she said, "you
won't solve any problems and
you probably won't postpone
any" by raising the age.
Her comments at a packed
hearing came on the heels of
a statement by Corvallis Juve
nile police officer Roger An
derson that cars serve as a
"rolling bedroom on wheels'
and set the stage for teenage
delinquency, drinking and
bad grades.
Sponsor Ken M a h e r (R-
Portland) agreed and said cars
cause "traffic, moral and edu
cational problems."
He said, however, he would
be agreeable to granting li
censes at 16 if the consent of
the school superintendent and
the local juvenile judge in ad'
ditlon to the parent were re
quired.
Still pending Is a bill to re
quire driving training courses
for drivers under 18, and a
proposal to prevent car own
ership under 18.
Young people took the spot
light at the hearing.
Tom Fryback of North Eu
gene High school asked why
legislatures were beginning to
consider 18 a "magic age"
for voting, entering the armed
service, driving.
Learning these responsibili
ties, he said, should be "a
step-by-step process."
Miles Schlestnger of South
Salem High said he "shared
the concern about juvenile
problems, high accident rates
and morality."
But why," he asked.
"should there be an age limit
on respect for the law."
Eileen Hadley, granddaugh
ter of the late Gov. Douglas
McKay, said "not too much is
being done to Improve the
adults ... we need a good ex
ample to follow."

Stanleyville Ousts
Five Western Consuls
Leopoldvllle, The Congo -
(UPD Five Western consuls are
being expelled from the block
aded Stanleyville Lumumbist
stronghold, diplomats said today..
They said the representa
tives of Britain, France, West
Germany, the Netherlands and
Denmark have been told to get
out on Saturday's plane to
Leopoldville.
the House Labor Committee
said there is a fair chance
both two-way and three-way
workmen's compensation bills
will die.
The Saturday class bill,
aimed primarily at courses
like driver training, would let
schools hold the classes on a
voluntary basis for students
and teachers.
The migrant child measure,
which goes to Ways and
Means would appropriate
$155,000 for special grants
and summer schools for chil
dren in the state just half the
year while their parents work
crops.
Kelsay Comments
Rep. W. O. Kelsay, whose
labor committee is consider
ing two-way workmen's com
pensation and probably will
receive the Senate - passed
three-way bill, said the legis
lature may well leave indus
trial accident insurance as It
is now-largely a state monop
oly,
Kelsay said the only change
that may win approval would
be a State Industrial Accident
Commission package to revise
and clean up appeals pro
cedures for injury claims,
Two-way insurance, which
would permit companies to
bond themselves for insurance
instead of carrying state in
surance, is a part of this pack
age. But Kelsay said the com
mittee has informally consid
ered deleting the two-way sec
tion.
The three-way bill would let
private insurance firms carry
workmen's compensation in
addition to the state or self
insurance. Labor has fought
the bill,
