D' U.S. Embassy Continues To Shelter South Viet Nam Buddhist Leader Tension Deepens As Relations Reach New Low Saigon, South Viet Nam (UPI) The U. S. Embassy made no move today to surren der the chief Buddhist opposi tion leader, causing a deepen ing of tension between the United States and the govern ment of President Ngo Dinh Diem. While the sheltering of the Buddhist anti Diem leader, Thich Tri Quang, angered the government, informed sources said it was cheered by the Buddhists who make up about 70 per cent of the population. Resentment Feared The Buddhist segment of the country considers Quang a hero, and it wag believed the embassy could not hand the priest ovei' to the government without arous ing widespread resent ment. Quang took asylum In the em bassy with two other Buddhist priests Sunday. Relations between the United States and the Diem regime were plunged to a new low with Quang's refuge in the em bassy and charges that the United States was plotting a coup d'etat. A U.S. Embassy official de scribed the charges as "non sense," but declined to comment further. The charges were printed in an eight-column headline Mon day by the English language newspaper Times of Viet Nam. The Times is owned by an American couple, Mr. and Mrs. Gene Gr -ry, who are long time frir i of Diem and his family. The newspaper is con sidered under virtual control of the government. Agitation Noted The Times said the U.S. Cen tral Intelligence agency was fi nancing the coup and said both the CIA and the Communists had been agitating among the Buddhists to overthrow the gov ernment. In Hyannis Port Mon day night. President Kennedy said the war against Communist suerrillas in South Vict Nam cannot be won unless Diem's government makes "a greater effort to win popular support." He said he believed the govern ment "has gotten out of touch with the people." But the President said he does not agree with those who urge a withdrawal of u. s. troops irom Viet Nam. He said the United States will continue to support the Vietnamese, adding "I don't think the war can be won unless the people support the effort." Open Dispute The United State and the Diem government have had an open dispute since Vietnamese troops and police raided Budd hist pagodas Aug. 21 and ar rested thousands of persons. The United States disapproved of the strongarm tactics used. The government contended the crackdown was necessary to block a coup by opposition po litical elements using Buddhist facilities as a cover. It charged that widespread Buddhist pro test demonstrations over al leged religious discrimination were politically motivated. UN Airs Proposal in Israel - Syria Squabble United Nations, N.Y. - (UPI) The Security Council resumed consideration today uf a U.S. British proposal designed to sat isfy conflicting charges of ag gression by Israel and Syria. The 11-nation council met fol lowing a long Labor Day week end recess. During the week end, diplo mats consulted on proposed amendments to the A n g I o American resolution. The amendments were proposed by Morocco in an effort to make the resolution palatable to the Arab states. The resolution would condemn the "wanton murder" of two young Israeli farmers two weeks ago in an ambush at Almagor, a border settlement in the Sea of Galilee region. The resolu tion does not mention Syria, but it implies clearly that Syrians were responsible lor tne raid. The killings set off some bor dcr clashes and an aerial dog fight between Israel and Syria in the latest of many flareups in the Middle East since the 1948 Palestine war. Israel and Syria each accused the other of aggression In com plaints to the United Nations. The United States and Britain were not expected to agree to any changes In the resolution. Many delegates doubted the Moroccan amendments would have enough support to be put to a vote. Adoption of the resolution re quires approval by seven of the 11 council members, with none of the five permanent members opposing.

School Crisis Holds Racial Attention By United Press International The Alabama school crisis, ap parently building toward an other showdown between Gov. George Wallace and the federal government, overshadowed all other integration developments today. Wallace ordered the Tuskegee (Ala.) High school, where 13 Negroes are scheduled to en roll, closed for one week Mon day to delay desegregation. The Macon (Tuskegee) county school board defied Wallace and said the school still was open. The action left the school's 550 students free to go to classes if they desired and could get by more than 100 state troopers Wallace threw around the school to back up his closure order. The Justice Department kept a close watch on the situation but considered it, at the moment, a local squab ble.

Minimum Wage of S1.25 Hourly To Be Effective Tuesday Washington (UPI) An esti- cents an hour," Wirtz said in a mated 2,600,000 workers will get J statement. "Gains since that pay increases this week rang-1 time have contributed to a high- ing up to 10 cents an hour. This is because the federal minimum wage goes from $1.15 to $1.25 an hour effective today. The minimum applies to jobs held by nearly 28 million work ers involved in interstate com merce but most of them already earn more than the $1.25 hourly rate. The Labor Department esti mated that the raises would add $365 million to employers' pay rolls in the coming year. Extended Coverage The 44-hour standard week also goes into effect today for employees in big retail and service establishments brought under the law in 1961. This means that workers in these categories must be paid time-and-a-half if they work more than 44 hours a week. The wage minimum for this group of workers is now $1 an hour. Labor Secretary W. Willard Wirtz recalled that the wage hour law, formally known as the Fair Labor Standards Act, was passed a quarter of a century ago. "We have come a long way since the legislation was passed with a minimum wage of 25 er standard of living and a stabilized national economy." He termed the law "a beacon of human progress identifiable with the American way of life." Even as the latest step-up in the minimum takes effect .there are calls for another increase to $1.50 and extension of the law's coverage. AFL-CIO Favors Boost The AFL-CIO has gone on rec ord in favor of a boost of 25 cents more in the floor under wages. Leaders of last week's civil rights march on Washing ton echoed the demand for a higher minimum. But prospects of Congressional action do not appear bright. Ad ministration spokesmen have supported broader coverage of the law to include laundry, hotel and restaurant workers but even this limited goal is not consider ed likely to be achieved at this session. Raising the minimum to $50 for a 40-hour week in jobs cov ered by the law has required some labor unions to change their contracts for certain low- paid workers. The law takes pre cedence over lower, negotiated rates. Advertisement Memphis, Term., and Baton Rouge, La. Elsewhere in the nation: Dlnnnnmini, T .a .T Q m C Cn.mn. nq(inn,l rl!rny.tfr nt tho !
