House OKs Wage Increase to 1.60 an hour in 1963
The House approved a bill to raise the minimum wage to 1.60 an hour by 1963 and extend coverage to more workers. The measure heads to the Senate, where supporters expect possible expansion. The vote was 202 to 93. AFL-CIO backers push to broaden coverage and delay a second-step increase.

He crossed into Hong Kong 13 years after rejecting repatriation, claiming he did not betray the United States. He plans no antiwar activity, seeking only to reunite with family and find work.
