Agreement stalls as wage and aid bills block windup
The August session faces delay as minimum wage and foreign aid collide with adjournment aims. Kennedy weighs a new Prouty compromise offering 3.1 million workers under the act, versus 4 million in the Senate plan and 1.4 million in the House bill. The Senate backs a $1.25 minimum in three steps while the House prefers $1.15. The conferees report little progress and Kennedy piles pressure toward a national campaign. The Senate sent a major Social Security bill to Eisenhower with a limited medical plan for low income seniors, approved 74 to 11 after a long debate.
