Veto Is Threatened $220 Minimum Pay Approved By Senate By JIM LUTHER Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate has passed a $220 min imum wage bill that differs only slightly from the House version But the likelihood of a veto hangs over whatever com promise is reached confident we can recon cile the Senate and House ver sions and send a bill to the Sen Harrison A Williams Jr NJ said Thursday after his bill was passed 64 to 33 trust the President will agree with Congress that in the richest nation on earth it is simply unconscionable to allow full time workers to be paid less than a poverty level Williams said Predictions of a veto were sounded repeatedly during Sen ate debate on the bill Sen Hugh Scott the Republi can leader joined in the fore cast Thursday while ex pressing support for the meas ure The Senate margin in passing the bill would not be big enough to override a veto Both Senate and House ver sions would gradually raise the $160 minimum wage for non farm workers and the $130 minimum for farm workers to $220 an hour They differ mainly in extend ing minimum wage protection and overtime to certain work ers The House bill would add coverage for about six million workers compared with about seven million in the Senate ver sion Both bills would bring domes tic servants under the minimum Kentuckians Support Bill WASHINGTON (AP) With Republican Sen Marlow Cook and Democratic Sen Walter Huddleston voting in the major ity the Senate Thursday passed a bill raising the minimum wage to $220 an hour The measure passed on a 64 33 roll call vote wage The House bill would make domestics also eligible for overtime pay The Senate voted to extend the minimum wage to about 100000 seasonal farm laborers and to those who process shade grown tobacco The House did not The bills differ on allowing employers to pay less than the minimum wage to teen agers Before the final vote the Sen ate Thursday refused to elimi nate domestics from minimum wage coverage and beat back attempts to allow employers to pay teen agers 15 per cent less than the minimum wage The Senate bill would raise the basic $160 nonfarm min imum wage to $2 in 60 days and to $220 one year later Those nonfarm workers first covered in 1966 mainly employ es of large retail stores would get $180 in 60 days $2 a year later and $220 in 1975 arm workers now paid a $130 minimum would be raised to $160 in 60 days $180 in 1974 $2 in 1975 and $220 in 1976 That Intriguing Word Game with a Chuckle Edited by CLAY POLLAN Rearrange letters of the four scrambled words be low to form four simple

Exemptions Likely In reeze By GREGORY NOKES reach back meaning industries Associated Press Writer cannot increase prices to reflect Phase 4 Raises Prices On State Produce Sales By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS A wholesaler in Lexington feels that inflation may be here to stay despite Phase 4 day of cheap produce is said Joe Papania secre tary treasurer of Inc a wholesale produce firm in Lexington for 72 years will never ever see it Under Phase 4 the freeze on food prices was with the exception of and food processors wholesalers and retailers could increase prices at once to account for increases in farm products since the first of June Beef prices remain under the ceiling announced May 29 and will continue that way until Sept 12 Papania said he had never seen prices go so high adding that a crate of lettuce which cost him $375 a year ago is now double that He feels the consumer will suffer the most ultimately and also said he thought Phase 4 caters to big business and for i gets the little man Papania said he thinks there will be an immediate and one that will continue for some time On Thursday only a day after Phase 4 went into effect two large produce dealers in Louisville raised prices on some items Al Campisano president of Al Campisano Produce Co said prices on celery were raised from $850 a crate to $10 a crate apples went up from $11 a box to $12 and carrots went from $6 a bale to $7 A riM ortvsl 4 In riivgci opuitcouiau oaiu urc company would not raise prices until it has a chance to fully examine Phase 4 He said the company feels solution involves changes in agricultural fiscal and mon etary policies and that the re straints were prolong ing the inevitable price in In Owensboro many stores were awaiting word from their main offices and suppliers and were not making any price changes on Phase 4 Bill Young vice president of the ield Packing Co said housewives might be prudent to do some shopping before next week to take stock of the cur rent prices He said the freeze means the firm can recover the cost on pork products but predicted bacon would rise by 8 10 cents a pound Young said processors were paying more for hogs than they could recover at frozen prices Tim Mogan regional vice president of the Kyana Division of Dairyman Inc: of Louisville said milk prices would also going up 60 cents a hun dredweight in August One of the reasons he said was that in May it cost milk farmers $2254 for dairy supple ments to feed an average herd but a month later that cost had risen to $2873 that tell you any he asked noting con sumers would obviously wind up paying more Meanwhile in the Hopkins ville area a spot check of gro cery stores Thursday showed the cost of a quart was up to 40 cents from the previous 32 while the cost of a gallon rose from $117 to $130 At nearby Cadiz the price of a quart had risen from 32 to 35 cents while the price remained stable at 35 cents at a Princeton store At Elkton the price rose 1 cent from 35 to 36 1000 Attend Ag ield Day from page 1 completed the tours by that time The station director said the visitors started arriving for the tours well before the time set for the first to start at 9 am and they seemed disposed to make a day of the program until the rain cut it short There were no scheduled speeches or lectures by officials of the university or the state the station planners preferring to allow the visitors to attend the tour sessions at their own pace stopping to talk with the experts on subjects that most interested them The last visitor had not left the 1300 acre farm before personnel of the station were making notes for next field day program The field days and the tours have been held for several years at the station giving farmers and residents of the area the opportunity to see what is being done at the facility WASHINGTON (AP) Di rector John Dunlop of the Cost of Living Council said to day it was unlikely there would be additional wage and price control exemptions prior to Aug 12 when the Phase 4 pro gram takes effect It already has been an nounced that the lumber in dustry public utilities rents and interest rates will be ex empt from the new controls and Dunlop has said the new program will provide for de control over industries without inflationary problems Dunlop also told newsmen to day he wanted to clarify that the health industry was not re moved from controls but had only been removed from the price freeze He said it has been put back under the special mandatory controls that existed during the Phase 3 program Dunlop said that the cost ab sorption features of Phase 4 should have a signifi impact on prices in some industries The higher the input of raw materials the more im: portant the cost absorption fea tures will be he said Removal of the so called cost Sportsmen OWENSBORO Ky (AP) The Owensboro area United Way will consider at its August meeting a request by nine sportsman clubs in the area that the local Young Christian Association be dropped as a United Way mem ber agency The sportsman groups voted Thursday to withhold donations to the local United Way until that organization cuts the YWCA or until the YWCA changes its stand on gun con trol Robert A Hubbard United Way vice president said the is sue would be placed on the agenda for the costs that occurred prior to 1973 will especially affect in dustries such as aluminum steel and copper he said The cost of absorption feature of Phase 4 will limit the amount of costs that can be added to prices to the actual costs prohibiting any additional markup to maintain past percentages of profit Asked if this would affect business incentives Dunlop in dicated there is some concern that the cost absorption re quirements should not go too far are very much con cerned to see that capacity be expanded a consideration that should cause a sober man to reflect carefully on the he said Another council official Ken neth edor said it was unlikely there would be any widespread shortage of beef resulting from maintenance of the price ceiling until Sept 12 The economic growth slowed in the second quarter as the administration wanted in its campaign to curb inflation but the rate of braking was a little too fast for government economists Hit YWCA The sportsman groups head ed by Joseph Coomes secre tary treasurer of the Daviess County ish and Game Associ ation said the national YWCA had voted at a convention in March to support legislation to register all firearms license gun owners and outlaw own ership of hand guns Meanwhile Mrs Jackie Peveler executive director of the local YWCA said the Owensboro chapter has opposed gun control and said each chap ter of the national YWCA em ploys only those parts of the national program
