Senate Bill Boosts Minimum Wage and Coverage to 1968 Plan
The Senate approved a plan to raise the federal minimum wage from 1.25 to 1.60 an hour with coverage extending to about 7 million more workers. The 57 to 17 roll call sends the measure to conference with the House, setting Feb 1 1968 as the new wage floor under the Senate version. Some farm workers gain protection for the first time and hotels motels restaurants laundries and certain other industries would become covered. Johnson backs the 1968 date and aides say the bill advances crucial coverage despite House differences.

Madison officials, led by Mayor E. O. Batson, seek a physician to staff a planned 100 bed rest home near the city. A Decatur developer would provide clinic space on a five acre tract, pay the doctor a salary, and allow a private practice in the clinic.
