s fter beating Republican efforts to
]gill a key provision.
Quick Senate action was sched-
uled to make the -measure effec-
r tive for the 1961 feed grain crop
about to Abe planted.
Biggest House fight was over
what was called the compliance
section. Republicans voted solid-
ly to strike it from the bill. They
got some Democratic support but
lost 214-196.
MOSCOW-United States Am-
bassador Llewellyn Thompson re-
turned optimistic last night from
a four-hour talk with Soviet Pre-
mier Nikita S. Khrushchev in Si-
beria.
Thompson said he had delivered
a message from President John F.
Kennedy to the premier at the lat-'
ter's request. Khrushchev, now
making a farm tour, was appar-
ently eager to receive the message
because he had never before al-
lowed an American. diplomat to
make such a journey.
NEW DELHI-The Dalai Lama
announced last night he is pre-
paring a draft constitution which
he hopes to place before the Ti-
betan people and appealed for
United Nations support against
the Chinese rulers of Tibet.
In a statement, issued just two
years after he fled from Chinese
Communist forces into India, the
25-year-old Buddhist god-king as-
serted his belief that the Reds'
will have to withdraw eventually;
from Tibet.

Stop Interference
' LEOPOLDVILLE (P) - Congo-
lese sources reported an agree-
ment with United Nations author-.
ities last night on a form of joint
control over UN air traffic in the
Congo.
UN .officials declined immediate
comment, and the Congolese gave
no details.
They said, however, that Maj.
Gen. Sean McKeown, British com-
mander of UN forces, visited
Leopoldville's Ndjili Airport with
Deputy Premier Albert Delvaux
and reached "erfectsaccord" on
joint dontrol measures.
Demand Control
The Congolese have been de-
manding control of the UN air
traffic as one condition for return
of UN forces to the Congo-Atlantic
supply port of Matadi which UN
Sudanese troops surrendered Sun-
day after a battle with Congolese.
Earlier, Rajeshwar Dayal, In-
dian chief of the UN Congo oper-
ation, reported "we are making
progress."-
Meanwhile the Congo's rival po-
litical leaders, meeting on neutral-
ground on the island of Mada-
gascar, sent a cable to Ghana's
President.Kwane Nkrumah accus-
ing him of interfering in the Con-
go's internal affairs and demand-,
ing that he keep hands off.
Visits U.S&
Nkrumah, a supporter of the late
Premier Patrice Lumumba, visited
the UN in New York and President
John F. Kennedy in Washington
earlier this week and arrived in
London yesterday for the com-
monwealth conference.
Antoine Gizenga, Lumumba's
political heir, is not at the con-
ference on Madagascar.
"Personalities like yourself have
arrogantly abused the right to
talk in the name of the Congo,"
the conference message said. The
Congo leaders demand immediate-
ly that you take up a neutral
position on the Congo problem to
facilitate a solution."
If agreement has been reached
on the return of UN forces to
Matadi the threat of a supply
stranglehold on UN forces would
be relieved.
At a news conference earlier in
the day Dayal conceded that the
loss of Matadi and Bnaana-the
ports where UN troops surrender-
ed in battle to the Congolese army
last weekend-had already started
squeezing UN supply lines.

COMMITTEE:
Wage Bill
Approved;
WASHINGTON () - A mini-,
mum wage bill closely tailored to
President John F. Kennedy's spe-
cification was approved yesterday
by the House labor committee.
The Democrats used their ma-,
jority strength on the committee
to overcome nearly solid Republi-
can opposition to the measure and
start it toward an expected House
battle beginning March 20.
The vote was 19-13, with one
Republican, Rep. Charles E. Good-
ell of New York, joining 18 Demo-
crats to bring the bill out of com-
mittee. One Democrat, Rep. Phil,
M. Landrum of Georgia, voted with
the Republicans in opposition.
The bill calls for a two-step, 25-
cent increase in the " present $1-
an-hour minimum and for extend-
ing coverage to an additional 4,-
311,000 workers now exempt from
the law's provisions. Only about
24 million of the nation's 70 mil-
lion workers now come under the
act.
The committee voted to increase
the minimum to $1.15 four months
after the law is enacted and move-
it up to $1.25 two years later. The
next Congress would have a
chance to rescind the final 10-
cent jump.
Kennedy, who has tagged the
bill a key part of his anti-reces-
sion program, had 'asked for a
step-up from $1.15 to $1.20 after
one year and to $1.25 a year later.
