Kennedy Victory Traced to Organizing Effort Not Money
Boone residents dispute claims of campaign funding saying Kennedy owed his win to superior organization and personal appeal rather than money. Local officials and GOP leaders cite Kennedy’s broad turnout in Fayette County and support from war record and anti bigotry factors. Prosecutor Summerfield and Democratic leaders see no vote buying, while scattered precincts show variable support for Kennedy, Humphrey, Barron, and Smith.

House Panel Approves Three Step Minimum Wage Bill
The House Labor Committee backed a bill raising the minimum wage to 1.25 dollars per hour in three steps and extending coverage to 4,105,000 more workers. A final committee vote was expected today before sending it to the House floor. The Senate Labor Committee rejected a GOP move to drop 3,937,000 workers from coverage. The bill had been trimmed from 10,730,000 initially to 5,124,000 after removing laundry, hotel, restaurant, and small retail workers. The Eisenhower administration opposed any boost beyond 1.00, but would accept 1.10 or 1.15 with three million added to the 24 million currently covered.
