WASHINGTON (/P) - President
John F. Kennedy signed the bill
raising the minimum wage yes-
terday.
Kennedy indicated at a news
conference tha't an effort may be
made to bring laundry, hotel and,
restaurant workers under the law.
These groups werenot included
in the bill passed by Congress.
"I am hopeful that we can come
back to them," Kennedy said.
Begins This Year
With the President's signature,
the new law will take effect in
120 days.
It extends the wage-hour act
to 3,624,000 additional workers,
mostly in retail and service jobs,
and raises the . minimum wage
from $1 an hour to $1.25 by 1963.
The increase will be in two
steps. On the effective date of the
new law the minimum will rise
to $1.15 an hour. This will mean
an increase for an estimated 1.9
million of the 23.9 million workers
already covered.
Two Years Later
The $1.25 minimum will take ef-
fect two years later, bringing an
increase to about 1.1 million ad-
ditional workers.
For the newly covered workers,
the minimum will remain at $1 an
hour for the first three years.
Starting in the fourth year it will
rise to $1.15 and go to $1.25 in the
fifth year.'
The initial $1 minimum is ex-
pected to mean an increase for
663,800 of the 3.62 million newly
covered workers.
Enactment of the measure rep-
resented a major triumph for Ken-
nedy. The House at first balked
at his major recommendations but
yielded after the Senate had pass-
ed a bill closely tailored to the
pattern Kennedy prod ided.
President John k Kennedy has
decided that the Peace Corps will
have semi-autonomous status un-
der the State Department, the New
York Times reported Thursday.
The decision marked a victory
for corps officials, who had con-
tended that without a special
identity of its own the new agency
would attract less recruits, get
snarled in red tape and lose its
effectiveness abroad.
Vice-Presiden't Lyndon John-
son also had pressed for a semi-
independent structure for the
corps.
Peace Corps Director R. Sargent
Shriver reportedly will seek. legis-
lative authority and appropria-
tions from Congress. This would
be necessary because Kennedy's
executive order March 1 creating
the corps also asked Congress to
make it a permanent agency.
By the President's decision
Shriver would have Assistant Sec-
retary of State status and would
be directly responsible to Secretary
of State Dean Rusk.
Henry Labouisse, head of the
Order Forbids
Private Jobs
For Officials
International Cooperation Admin-
istration, several White House
aides and some career State De-
partment officials had opposed
establishing a quasi - independent
nature for the corps. They had
urged that it be made a unit bf the
foreign aid organization being
planned by the Administration.
Shriver announced Thursday
that the United States hopes to
send up to 100 corpsmen to In-
dia late this year. Tentative plans
indicate the group will concen-
trate on agricultural and village
development at first.
Shriver emphasized that India
will be a key country in the corps
volunteer program, and he said he
was "greatly encouraged" by Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's re-
sponse to the corps idea.
His aides said that the first
volunteers, primarily persons with
special skills which would be use-
ful in helping an underdeveloped
nation, would probably be concen-
trated in the Ludhiana district of
the Northwestern State of Punjab.
Before making this statement,
Shriver had participated in five
days of talks with officials con-
cerned with India's social and eco-
nomic development.
Shriver made the announcement
on the last, day of his Indian visit.
He is now' in Pakistan, and has
scheduled meetings in Burma,
Thailand and the Philippines be-
fore he returns to Washington.
Conference
Gives Policyu
On Algeria
WASHINGTON () - President
John F. Kennedy and President
Habib Bourguiba of Tunisia yes-
terday agreed that the Algerian
problem should be solved peaceful-
ly on ,the basis of self-determina-
tion for the Algerians.
A joint communique, issued aft-
er the second conference between
the two Presidents, said that Ken-
nedy and Bourguiba"believe that
negotiation and peaceful applica-
tion of the principle of self-deter-
mination are the key to peace in
Algeria and to stability in North
Africa and the Mediterranean."
The two Presidents met for one
hour and 15 minutes at the White
House. Their conference marked
the end of Bourguiba's three-day
talks in this capital.
The two Presidents, the com-
munique said, further agreed on
the right of all nations to remain
neutral. The communique said:
"President Bourguiba defined
his policy of non-alignment and
friendship with all countries de-
siring good relations with Tunisia.,
"President Kennedy expressed
the support of the United States
for the inviolate right of peoples
and countries to exercise freedom
of choice in the 'organization of
their societies and in the defini-
tion of their political attitudes."
JERUSALEM W-) - A report'
from a Nazi comrade of Adolf
Eichmann described the slaugh-
ter of 100,000 Jews in the Baltic
countries as if "speaking of {the
canning of sardines or herring,"
prosecutor Gideon Hausner said
yesterday.'
The Israeli attorney general in-
troduced a report by Franz Walter
Stahlbecker, described as an "old+
friend" of Eichmann. It described
activities of the Nazi Einsatz-
ruppen-the Nazi death squads
who shot a million Jews in Eu-
rope before the Nazis switched
to mass executions in gas cham-
bers.
Then the court trying Eichmann
for crimes against the Jews and
crimes against humanity heard
of the terrorist tactics of the Ein-
satzgruppen from the lips of wit-
nesses who survived.
800. Survived
Eeazar Kashat said that of
100,000 Jews in Latvia -- where
Stahlbecker was in charge-only
800 survived. This brought a gasp
in the courtroom.
Kashat testified one woman
who had survived an Einsatzgrup-
pen massacre told him "those whoh
were lucky got a bullet and those
who were not lucky fell into the
pit and most of them suffocated."
Avraham Aviel, a 34. year old
survivor of a mass execution near

WASHINGTON-President John
F. Kennedy, said at a news con-
ference yesterday the government
is considering the question of
supplying military forces against
Communist encroachment in
southern Viet "Nam..
The President told his news
conference that the matter is "still
under consideration."
This and related matters of pos-
sible resistance to Communist ag-
gression or encroachment, he
said, will be taken up with the
Vietnamese themselves.
Johnson to Study
Vice-President Lyndon B. John-
son will discuss the question on
his forthcoming trip to the Far
East, Kennedy said, and the mat-
ter also will be brought before the
United Nations.
The President said a group has
been working in the government
on the problems raised by guerril-
la action against the Vietnamese
government, and the National Se-
curity Council has been deliberat-
ing the problem.
"The problem of troops .. . and
the matter of what we are going
to do to assist Viet Nam obtain
its independence is a matter still
under consideration," Kennedy
'said.
The matter can best be handled,,
he said, after consultations have
been had, with the Vietnamese
government.
He said that this country must
"consider the implications" of fur-
ther economic action putting pres-
sure on the Castro government.
This consideration is being giv-
en, he, said.
But in answer to a question
whether the United States plans
to traini a force of exiles, for an
invasion attempt like the one
which failed last month, Kcnne-
dy was emphatic in stating that
no such plans exist.
Cuba Embargo
Kennedy said the National Se-
curity Council 'has considered the
possibility of an embargo on trade
with Cuba but that only. food and
medicine are now being shipped
to that land and "We have to con-
sider carefully all of the implica-
tions of further action."
Kennedy, asked about United
States policy in view of Castro's
hostile declarations, said the Mon-.
roe Doctrine and treaties, with
other nations continue to govern
foreign policy in this hemisphere.
The President announced that
Arthur H. Dean returned yester-
day to Geneva to resume stalemat-
ed negotiations with Great Brit-
ain and Russia on an- agreement
to ban nuclear weapons tests. Dean
had been in Washington for con-
sultations this week.
Kennedy indicated, however,
that he wants to see some progress
in the talks before long. He said
he had asked Dean to report
"within a reasonable time on the
prospects for a constructive out-
come."
He expressed hope that the So-
viets would consider "in a positive
manner" the treaty proposed by
the United States.

WASHINGTON OP) - President
John F. Kennedy barred govern-
ment officials from any outside
employment or' activity for pri-
vate gain.
In an executive order Kennedy
said it was incumbent upon those
who occupy positions of highest
responsibility and authority to
"set an impeccable example."
The order applies to all heads
and assistant heads of depart-
ments and agencies, full-time
members of boards and commis-
sions appointed by the President
and members of the White House
staff.
Although they are barred under
the order from accepting fees for
making speeches, they may accept
actual expenses while traveling
when they are not reimbursed by
the government.
But the official must not ac-
cept reimbursement for enter-
tainment, gifts, excessive personal
living expenses or other personal
benefits.
The same order gave department
and agency heads authority to is-
sue directives "to assure the main-
tenance of high ethical and moral
standards" in positions under
their control.,
